April 2007 - put fingers in ears, shut eyes and walk away singing la la la la!

[JoMa]

you'll find it works well in all eventualities, growth charts, eldest children, MILs, give it a try

[Katy44]

liath, do they sit in that or stand in it?

[CaptainDippy]

Wow - seems our littlest ones were communicating last night!! Hope lots of other people had good night's last night .... esp our lovely Twin Mummies!!

[CaptainDippy]

Sorry your night was not so good, Luce. Mmmmmm, DVDs - In Pursuit of Happyness is nice - What sort of thing do you think she would like?? Chick Flick? Thought-Provoking? M ......

[maveta]

Hello again, got very distracted just as I thought I would settle down for a natter on here! Isn´t In Pursuit of Happiness a bit depressing? I haven´t seen it but have heard it´s sad.. how about Big Fish? That´s a fab film. Or Everything Is Illuminated? Also fab, very funny.

Great news with all the babies sleeping through. N did wake up last night but was back down by 9pm and slept til 7am with a little wake up at 4am but I barely count those feeds because we´ve got the feeding in bed down pat and I just plonk him on, fall asleep, wake up, he´s asleep so I put him back in the cot. Easy as pie! So chuffed, I remember when I was having all those nightmares starting off breastfeeding, I thought feeding like this in the middle of the night was totally impossible and something I´d never master .

Thinking about buying some fake tan today but want something very light and MUST NOT SMELL! lol. Have tried St Tropez and found it too faffy, the Johnsons Holiday Skin got yellow after a while and I didn´t like the smell of either of them. Any recommendations?

Am being a rebel today and wearing a non-feeding bra! and (whispers) it´s underwired! Don´t care don´t care lalalalalalal.. love wearing a bra with teeny little straps!

Morning

ILs arrive at 11.30 there's probably more cleaning I could be doing but sod it!

MIL is coming to hospital with G and I this afternoon as he's haviing his cystourethrogram today (catheter on, dye squirted into bladder until it's full, then pictures taken as it's emptying to check for reflux). Can't imagine he's going to be a happy chappy.

DH got up and apologised this morning. I think because I was still banging around giving him the cold shoulder. I'm usually rubbish at staying in a huff for long. Told him he was selfish and insensitive, he's had full nights sleep every night since Sunday in a posh hotel in Edinburgh. I've had to deal with my stressed out parents, my sick gran and a teething, wakeful baby. Then I come home to a messy house and empty cupboards! He's supposed to be my help and support! Think I laid it on a bit thick

There's talk of ILs baby sitting tomorrow night so that DH and I can go out for a meal. think I'll make him take me somewhere expensive!

Very of all these sleeping babies.

Apologies for another rant. Think it's off my chest now

[Katy44]

Good luck for this afternoon, hope G is OK
Glad your DH apologised.
Very of the meal though, think we're going to have to organise something similar soon as I really miss spending time with DH.

[liath]

Katy - they sort of stand but supported in the seat thingy. Ds has pretty good trunk control so doesn't slump in it.

Leaky - don't think you laid it on thick at all - sounds very reasonable . Hope you get taken somewhere nice tomorrow.

DVDs....Hmm, the best one I saw recently was Apocalypto but I don't think that would be suitable really!! How about Casino Royale - or would Daniel Craig in speedos put her heart rate up too much??

[Katy44]

That sounds ideal, T would love it. They are expensive though! Might look for a cheaper version, although that one looks lovely.

[oooggs]

thank you so much for all your well wishes xxxxxxxxxxx the meal last night was lovely, Jack was awake 1pm & 3pm but had teetha (no milk) and went straight back, he doesn't feed in the night anymore, Erin fed at 11pm then they were both up at 7am so much better.

We are off today to mil for a week and I am really going to miss all of your support.

Luce hun - know what you are going through, it is very tiring.

anything exciting happens I am hoping someone will text me (mammyjo, ellie, captain dippy!!!)

Take care and 'see' you all next week xxx

[CaptainDippy]

'Course I will oooggs - hope you have a nice time away - glad you enjoyed going out last night!

All three of my children are sleeping!! DD's 2 & 3 in cot - DD1 in pram in garden!!!!! Normal for DD's 2 & 3; but DD1 was up soooooooooo early this morning, she asked to go in the pram and promptly: ZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Yey! Bonus is that my friend has sent me the most massivest pile of choc in the post as a belated Birthday gift - So tucking into some of that with a cuppa right now ..... yummmmeeee!

Ooooooh, Daniel Craig in Casino Royale ..... mmmmmmmmm .........

[Pesha]

Hi all

Tummy is better thanks sol, was only a couple of hours feeling dodgy then fine.

Now have teeth problems Couple of years ago I went to see crappy stand in dentist who started giving me root canal cos he thought I had an abscess, it HURT! Nerve was still fully functioning as he tried to drill it out, he tried to give me an injection into the nerve but I was physically unable to hold still for the several seconds he needed when he's jabbing a needle into a nerve!! In the end I had to tell him to stop and leave me the hell alone. He stuck temp filling in and I walked out nearly in tears. Went to see my proper nice dentist who said it had not been an abscess was just muscle tension in my jaw but he had to finish the root canal the other guy started After few months the back half of the tooth broke off so he just did a filling but a few weeeks ago the front half of the tooth started to break off which it now has and last night it was keeping me awake cos it hurt so I pulled the filling out! Was wobbling anyway. So now have to go dentist and presumably have whats left pulled out. I dont want to go! I've had such crap dentists, this isnt the first time I've had a tooth pulled out when it shouldn't have been. And I normally end up having to have about 4 injections before I go numb so then cant feel a thing for the rest of the day.

Sorry massive moan. Feeling bit crap lately and not sleeping well even though D is. Sooo tired and not with it.

[Pesha]

Good luck at hospital today leaky

[CaptainDippy]

Poor you Pesha and to that stooooopid crappy dentist who tried to do the Root Canal in the 1st place - You must be sooooo Go to the Dentist hon - It'll be better in the long-term, you will be ok! {{{{{hugs}}}}}

Yes, leaky - hope all goes ok at the hospital today and that they don't find reflux. Poor G - he will be ok though - they are very tolerant at that age, bless 'em...

Right - DD1 awake, need to start thinking about lunch .....

[Sexonlegs]

Hi ladies

Oogggs, so glad you had a good time out, and I hope you have a good time with your mil.

Luce, sorry you had such a pants night. Spoke to the il's this morning in the end. They are away somewhere in Wales with B and they had no reception on their mobiles. Dh was freaking out God love him. He is struggling without her Oh no, welling up again...

Pesha, glad your tummy is ok. Sorry to hear about the teeth tho - what a nightmare.

Leaky, best of luck today at the hospital. Fingers crossed all is well.

Completely forgotten everything else.

Glad more of you are getting good nights - long may it last!!

[Sexonlegs]

Luce, meant to say that someone recommended The Holiday to me as a fab film. She said that normally she is crap at watching dvd's and gets up half way through, but seemingly she didn't move a muscle watching it. x

[CaptainDippy]

Hi SOL! Awwwww, yes - The Holiday was a lovely film - get that!!

Older 2 @ nursery, P on my lap. Need to do some housework , then out for a walk, me thinks .....

[elkiedee]

Hi all, not on my own computer as we can't get internet explorer on that, though we can pick up emails and use dp's laptop on the same broadband connection. But I find this machine really hard to use!

I suppose I've missed Oooggs but was glad to hear you/she had a good evening.

Pleased also to hear re sleeping babies, D seems to be sleeping loads too, beginning to wonder if he's ok. I had to go to a hospital appointment as I had a rather scary episode in early June, so my father looked after D this morning while dp kept me company. The doctor at the hospital spent all of 5 minutes assuring us he thought there was nothing to worry about, and we got home to find D had gone back to sleep in his crib.

Pesha, sorry to hear about your teeth keeping you awake, hope you get to see the good dentist.

Anyway, should eat lunch while the going's good, see you later, computer permitting.

[Katy44]

Glad your appointment ent well elkie.
About the sleeping - I think they have sleepy days and non sleepy days, yesterday T slept for ages (3 hours in the afternoon and had had morning naps too) but he's made up for it by having a non-sleepy day today! Every time he sleeps for more than an hour and a half I worry, but should prob just make the most of it

[happimummy]

hi everyone!

i had day out with inlaws yesterday. was ok (ish). Mmm... actually found it really hard. But there you go. Wer're having a run of it on here at the mo aren't we!

Went to Brandon Forest Park. Joma, don't know if you have time for a social life anymore, what with the job an' all, but if you fancied a meet up, we could go there. Was nice, good coffee and a nice kiddies park for Matthew to run around on.

nutty - hope you're ok babe xx

flash hurrah at ernire sleeping through! What a champ!



Not caught up with the rest, got to dash dh just told me off. We've got someone coming round at 3 and I still have a load of jobs to do. See you laters xx

[CaptainDippy]

Bloomin' Outlaws!! Grrrrr!

Got one v.sleepy bubba today, bless her .... despite sleeping from 7pm - 8am!! She's fallen asleep AGAIN .....

[Sexonlegs]

Katy, ikwym re the sleeping. I think it was because the first time K was very sleepy one time, it turned out she had a funny tummy. So now, like you, if she sleeps more than and hour and a half at one go, I panic!!! She slept for nearly 2 hours yesterday, but then we were outside and I wonder if it was the fresh air. She is fine.

Happi, glad you had an ok'ish time with the inlaws!!

[CaptainDippy]

Fresh air does seem to have a v.comatose effect on babies .....

[Katy44]

Jusrt stuck T out the back in his bouncy chair
Wrapped in a blanket of course
