April 2007 - Everybody wave to Mr Dippy!

[EllieK]

time for a new thread ladies

Well I've posted on it...

I'd leave it alone now, hon .... he's not worth it .....

Morning

3 feeds last night !!!! Not 6 or 7 but 3!!! And he stayed in his own cot all night long!! Can you tell I'm a bit excited? Mind you we'll probably be back to normal tonight

Octo hope tou get your referral soon. Must be really difficult with 3 dcs to look after.

Norma - think I've figured out what's going on. Just ignore him, he's playing silly games.

George has just done his morning poo so I'm off to deal with that.

I read that on FB earlier, Leaky - Good stuff!

Have reported HD's thread & asked it to deleted asap, hope that is ok!!?

morning folks. very confused. what is this with hd and kd??

I wouldn't worry too much, weeonion - HappyDaddy and KinkyDaddy are one in the same - He has set up a thread that is going to make quite a few people Tis all. How are you anyway sweetie?

me too, don´t understand anything...

Don't worry yourself Mav - How are you anyway?? Sorry you had a baaaad night.

Sorry you've had a bad night Maveta, hope N settles more tonight.

Think D's teething and the weather's been wretched here, so we didn't venture out, though we managed to make a very small dent in the huge sort out required of our house, and tried putting up the travel cot to see how much space it takes up (D is going to be out of his moses basket before his room is ready and there isn't space in our bedroom for the full blown cot)

Have joined the local freecycle - I do have some stuff here that I really don't need if anyone will take it off my hands and carry it away themselves. And my mum's got us so much stuff off her local freecycle that I feel I really should try give something back though obviously in this different area.

All the best Elkie - I think sort outs and clear outs are so satisfying, but hard work - esp with a bubba in tow ...

Hiya.

Maveta, sorry you had such a pants night. Enjoy your friend when she arrives.

Elkie, I love having a good sort out of stuff. I am a demon, and poor dh often finds he has "lost" things!!

Octo, hope you can get your neck sorted. Nothing worse, esp with dc's to deal with as well.

All quiet here. K off for a nap. She has been a bit sicky today - and a bit grizzly. Hoping it is nothing.

Right, need to do something constructive. xx

Hi SOL!

Morning all

My boy has a tooth!!! I've been able to see the bottom 2 just under the skin for a while now but the left one has now finally broken through!! My nipples are now ever so slightly scared! Nathan bit me a couple of times (shortly before I gave up bfing funnily enough) and I found putting my nipple back in his mouth afterwards a very hard thing to do - all my instincts screaming AARGH - NOOO!

Thanks for cv advice everyone SOL I may take you up on that offer, I've been out of job market for so long I'm abit clueless! I may not need it though as I'm really just looking for anything with the right hours. I need something anytime between 1 and 6pm then dp can have dylan and do school run so no childcare costs but I'll be home in time to see kids for abit before they go to bed. But pretty tricky hours, not sure I'll find much We really need the money though .

Pesha, what kind of job/employer are you looking for? Some employers look very positively on transferable skills, and I imagine that even private companies will do so more if your application's looked at by someone who has their own kids and some idea what hard work and organisational skills are involved! Anyway, it's cool that with SOL here you can get some expert personnel officer advice. Good luck with finding something.

Octo, good luck with the neck.

SOL, hope K's ok.

Hi everyone

Had v bad day on Fri J wound me up an absolute treat, to the point that I shouted in his face He's only 2 fgs Think it was a culmination of a lot of little things. My fuse has been very short lately - W has cold, which means he's v restless at night, which means I haven't slept No sleep equals bad mummy. Saturday night I did not sleep at all W was so bunged up that he couldn't sleep lying down, and had difficluty feeding Dh tried too help, but W just wanted his mummy and booby.

Anyway, J is out with my mum atm, and W is sleeping. Tried sleeping too, but can't seem to switch off during the day.

Sorry for the moan
x

oooh runny, I hope you have a better night tonight

Runny - sorry to hear you're having such a tough time Have you tried nose drops? They reallyu worked for D, you can get them from dr but I've seen them in tescos and boots. And I got a liitle me organic baby natural summat or other chest rub thingymabob! Was clearance in boots so only cost me 26p, that was only last week but anything similar would help.
Dont feel bad about shouting at J, I've been horrid to my kids at times, I mean really completely lost my rag but its your overall parenting that matters, the odd meltdown doesn't matter in the scheme of things. And feeling bad about it certainly wont help anyone. but the fact that you do proves you love your dc and want whats best for them which means you are NOT a bad mummy - ok?! When N was born M was 2.9 and I had really bad pnd, I think in the first 6 months if someone had offered to take both kids away without me having to face judgement from everyone I would have agreed (well I prob wouldnt but thats how I felt at times) but its only really now I can admit to that, I couldnt tell anyone at the time. It was awful, N didnt sleep at all, I couldnt cope and I wasnt a bad mum to M but I was nowhere near the mum I could have been. But we got through it, 6 months onwards it got soo much easier. Im waffling now and not really sure what I'm trying to say! Im here if you want to talk anyway

And can people PLEASE stop apologising for moaning and ranting and writing self absorbed posts - it's what we're here for!!!

good point pesha

Oooh Pesha.. Teeth! Blimey, that is early. I think I would put my norks away (that is if I ever got mine out!)

Runny, I am sorry to hear you are having such a rough time of it. Have you tried one of those plug in menthol things that release menthol/eucalyptus vapors - a vaporiser I think they are called. Also, Sterimar nasal spray is fantastic. I have used this on both girls and it softens the bogies (sorry for tmi) and helps them clear. It is only salt water, but I swear by it.
And as for shouting, as Pesha said, you are no way a bad mum. Kids are very resilient, and I expect he has forgotten all about it already. I know it feels dreadful at the time tho. Hugs to you.

Hope everyone else is ok.

K seems ok, but not on top form. I am wondering again is she has mild reflux, which would account for the puking back, and also her slow weight gain (6 ounces in 2 weeks for a while now).

May mention it to the HV again. Sorry, waffling now. xx

Ellie - for when you catch up. Have left a message on ur mobile with my mums tel number, will try u again later but absolutely NO mobile connection here, in the sticks is an understatement.

Tues, wed or thurs is good for us, would be happy at the beach but need a reserve idea in case of crappy weather, bressingham sounds good. Will try to get on later to catch up. xxx

Off for a "light supper" at mums friends house ooh err yikes!

And hi everyone, haven't left the country we are holidaying all over the length and breadth of the country, currently in Norfolk at my mums house, hope everyones well x

ok, who is this happydaddy, kinkydaddy?? A wierdo? Giving norma grief?????

I think i may have to name change, don't want any dodgy associations

why did no-one mention it to me!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry, it's all sorted. Please don't feel you need to name change.

Had been thinking of swapping again anyway norma. Kept wondering who HM was And probably wouldn't have picked it if I knew there was a happydaddy about anyway, whatever he's like.

I know it's not very imaginative but it's this for now, unless/until I can think of anything better

pinions! good to 'see' you! where in Norfolk are you?? Anywhere near meeee?? (it's eca btw

Hello

Wow all this HD/KD stuff. Couldn't read all the thread earlier cos my best friend came round. She lives in Uttoxeter and I haven't seen her for about 4 years It was really great to catch up and see her children (my god children)and for her to see J and meet Izzy.

I went back today to have Izzy weighed and she had put on 4oz in the week as opposed to 5 in two weeks. Spoke to hv who asked if I was planning on bf for the forseeable future or did I want to wean (to solids not from bf to ff)... I said I wanted to continue bf and didn't think she was ready for weaning and hv said I think you're right it's too early for weaning...wtf why ask then??? Anyway upshot is they are not too concerned atm...but they want her to be weighed weekly for a month and then have length checked as well just to check that the weight doesn't tail off. She now weighs 12lbs 5oz at 19+5.

Runny sorry you had a bad day on Friday, agree with the others don't feel bad about posting on here that's what we're hear for.

Pesha a tooth!! Hope bf continues ok

SOL - Hope K ok. Think it's a good idea to talk to hv about possible reflux again.

Hi Pinions hope you're having a good time.
