April 2007 : Babies WILL start sleeping through at 7months or your money back!

[runnyhabbit]

SPB

Last night was much better all round We kept W up til 7.30pm (usually in bed asleep by 6.45) bathed, bf then in bed by 8pm. Wasn't going to wake him for dream ff, but he woke at 11.45, and get this - dh heated up the bottle before I said anything! and he saw to W, and told me to go to sleep Then W didn't wake at all til 5.45, which I can live with.
Only downside to today is dh is working but we've all had breakfast together, and are all in quite a good mood

see you later

Glad you had a good night runny, sounds like you needed it

Oh no Gordon Brown or Man Baby Colds Hey Ho ..... Money back!!! Oooooooh, sounds goooooood!

Yes to back up what SOL said on the other thread - No, P doesn't have any teeth - my children don't do teeth .... DD! was 2 years old when she got her 1st!!!!! DD2 was 16m-ish; so not expecting teeth for a good long while yet ......

I'll tell you what though - It is incredible what they can eat without them!!

How's everyone?? DH out doing some jobs with DD1, other 2 in bed, I'm just catching up here - need to go and fold mountain of lcothes from the drier too ......

dashing in to say hello and good bye as off to hairdressers!!! Pathetically excited....
See you later

Oooooh, enjoy NL! Need to get lunch for everyone as we're off to (another!!) Birthday Party this pm.

NL, just got back from the hairdressers, much needed cut looks ok for a change(normally hate it once it's cut) DD has also done my hair too

Oh and ds doesn't have any teeth either.

SPB, yep only been around a year. I Blame EAH for getting me hooked

Off, to persuade dh to go in the loft to get the christmas stuff out so I can see what there/what i have to get. Won't be putting the tree up. Not just yet

OOoooh, Christmas! I like Christmas - whoop! Yes we should start thinking about getting our Christmas box down soon - Our 1st Christmas in our new home!

Yey for haircuts!

SOL - you're right - you is a sweetie Will send you my CV some point this weekend then, thank you

I've just done 10 mins on the exercise bike and I'm fucked a little worn out! I've got so unfit. When ds1 was a toddler I used to do 4 nights a week for half an hour or more flat out, before getting pg I was getting up early 3 or 4 mornings a week to do my exercise video before the school run. That was how I lost my bfing weight from ds1 and I've decided its now time to start losing this lot too. I'm ALOT heavier than I was pre pg and so unfit. I'm blaming it on the spd in pg stopping me being able to do very much and then not having time to get it back since! So if you see me here around 10:30am on a weekday tell me to sod off and get on my bike!!

Oh yeah Maveta - wanted to say (from ages ago ) dont be daft feeling guilty for N catching his cousin's (?) cold, they catch things so easily at this age I'm sure N would have got it even if you had changed sheets. And its all them building up their immunity so its a good thing really.

SPB - glad you're not feeling guilty about the play pen anymore - you mustn't feel bad you're doing the best thing for him by keeping him safe while you do the few essential things you have to do without him.

YAY for all the haircuts! Ellie just had her hair cut too, must be a 6-7 month regain our lives kind of thing!

Crap night here too btw but i think hes got the tummy bug that the rest of my lot have all had and its not even a 24 hour thing, maybe a 12 hour thing at a stretch so I'm not too worried! Maia was sick a couple of times in the night but seems completely fine now!

Yes I was thinking that about getting christmas stuff down, I'm trying to be organised and do stuff early to spread the cost so really need to remind myself what I need. I bought a load of wrapping paper, tags and cards in the jan sale but cant quite remember what

Dippy - enjoy the party!

I haven't disappeared...just struggling to keep up .

Feel really tired in an evening at the mo so haven't been on quite as much.

I was meant to be filmed on Weds and dh said he'd drop me off (a bit late for him really but he didn't mind). When we got there bang on time, the person wasn't there to meet us and wasn't answering her phone . We waited 20 mins, then decided just to go home cos dh was really late by then (and he would have had to pick me up in his lunch hour aswell). They rang as we were on our way home and dh told them we had left because no-one was there and they'd made him late for work. They rang another 10 times (we didn't answer) and didn't even leave a message saying sorry .

Dh on a company weekend thing (Fri & Sat, not Sunday) but he decided he wouldn't stay over on the Fri night, he'd come home instead. Good job cos Erin woke at 1 am and didn't settle for ages. Think she's got another tooth coming through. Am hoping he's home soonish - was supposed to finish at 12 and should take an hour to get home...but he hasn't let me know he's setting off so not sure when to expect him

Sorry for no personals, my brain is like mush

OMG what a week!
I have been cleaning like a MAD WOMAN all week, not only cleaning but putting tiles up grouting, scraping floors, you name it I have done it, all in a bid to get our house rented out.
We had our first 2 people over to see it today
even though it is not finished, there is painting that needs to be done everywhere more tiles that need to go down, shit rubbish in the back garden that needs to be moved and a shed that isn't yet finshed pretty much 100 little jobs that need doing

Was a bit at showing the people the house as it is still such a work in progress and because we are moving out this weekend there was crap everwhere, so I have just shoved it into draws, under bed etc.

So LOTS AND LOTS OF STRESS HERE!

I will not be back for a bit as I have to move back in with my parents which is going to be very intresting.

no teeth here either. ds1 had one at 8 months and all the others have been 11 months, but got about 4 at a time and had a whole mouthful really quickly. it means it gets it over and done with quite quickly, but a couple of miserable days each time! my sisters lo had 4 teeth at 4 months! glad I didnt have to bf him

Hi folks, haven't really caught up but GOOD LUCK to KHIN for house selling and am of your weekend plans SOL.

Re cages - I am such a wimp I couldn't bear to see dd behind bars in the playpen and I flogged it to an NCT pal . Wish I hadn't as it would have been a perfect place to leave ds safe from marauding demon toddlers his lovely caring big sister & her cousin.

I have emailed everyone (I hope) in the secret santa group.

Have almost totally lost my voice which is making child care interesting. I am actaully a bit shocked that I must raise my voice more than I should so I'm sure dd is enjoying not being shouted at. Maybe laryngitis is a valuable parenting exercise .

Afternoon all, good look to KHIN but I suppose I've missed you already.

D was awake for two long periods of time in the night then fell asleep in his buggy when dp took him to get the papers, and stayed asleep from 10.30 until 1! Then he had some lunch in his highchair for the first time.

I'm now feeling all disoriented, I find it much harder to maintain a sensible order of the day at weekends, as although it's not easy in the week I've only got to organise me and D, not dp as well.

i know exactly what you mean, any 'routine' i have during the week goes to pot at the weekend!

Back from haircut and nice lunch - quite pleased all round really. Good to hear I'm not the only one in need of shearing! Had to dash back as had some short notice people coming to view the house - fortunately it was pretty tidy from yesterday's viewing!
Bit of a dodgy night with B - she slept 1-5 and 5-7 - but in bed with me the whole time......as she doesn't have her own room and won't till we move I'm not sure what else I can do....
Think I might go and make some cakes now. All girls off in town with dh so my mixing bowl is my own!

Liath - thanks for e-mail re secret santa - getting quite excited about that
KHIN - all the best with the move - sounds a bit scary.
Elkie - weekends can be weird can't they. We do have a pretty set order to Sunday because of going off to church but anything can happen on Saturday!
Dippy- hope you enjoy the party - your girls seem to get plenty of invites even with P smelling as much as you say
Pesha - good work on the bike.
Hello to everyone else!

I forgot to say earlier but KHIN, your life sounds very very busy. Hope the move goes well and you handle living back home. Also hope you gets some tenants in.

Liath, got the email. Have done most of my normal christmas present shopping so will be nice to go and buy one last one

Having a bit of a down day today. Not sure why. Just feeling that all I ever do is the same old, same old. I know it's just the terratory having young dcs but it's just so depressing sometimes. Woudln't change it though.

DH took dd to the park earlier. She was playing with a little boy and came home crying saying she wanted to swap. I was swap what? Swap ds for Jack kept on and on about it. Til ds woke up when she decided to keep ds

Hoping the night will improve my mood as we've decided on take away, even though we shouldn't becuase of money (and waistline) but I can't be bothered to cook! I'm goning to get some chocolate in too and we're going to watch a film. OOOOO actually I might get popcorn for the real 'cinema' experiance! Might have a few bevvies too

We're off to brighton tomorrow so lets hope for no rain

Long time no mumsnet!

I didn?t mean to be away for so long ? started with dh hogging the pc, then the pc was slower than slow, then I thought I?d never catch up with the threads and finally I had a bit of a crisis of confidence and thought it best I stay away until I was feeling better. I understand now why people take breaks from mumsnet ? I think I was a bit fragile anyway but reading some of the threads completely undermined my confidence as a mum. Which is stupid because I should have just stayed on this lovely, supportive thread and ignored all the other bollocks! I seem to have turned a corner though and am feeling more like my pre-baby self with loads more energy.

I hope everyone and their families are well, and since the baby of the group is now six months old, I?m sure we must have at least one nearly crawling???? L is giving it a good shot, she gets onto her hands and pushes up her tummy so she?s on her toes ? she definitely has the best stomach muscles in this house! Her first tooth is halfway through ? so cute! After almost four weeks of trying to get her to take a bottle again, I have admitted defeat and am going to go straight to a cup. We?ve started weaning and apart from the extra faff, I?m really enjoying it ? watching her blow raspberries with a mouthful of carrots is quite hysterical!

It?s now only 20 days till we leave for Aus and to say I?m excited would be an understatement ? a week with friends in Perth (both pregnant - so much for a boozy reunion!), then three weeks with my family. I am so excited to see my sister I could burst, and I get to meet my 18 month old niece for the first time.

Anyhoo, I am back and will endeavour to stay back! Big hugs and kisses to you and your gorgeous bubbas!

P.S. Have just seen how long this post is - sorry for rambling on

lol at5 your dd eddas
this might be tmi but.......
I have my first af since molly!
just needed to tell someone!

sorry edas - that "5" isn't supposed to be there!

Bumble you gonna come accross next thursday?

Evening ladies! Great to "see" you Bumble - fab to have you back!

I have just spent the last two hours to and back from A&E mwahahaha.(There was a little boy there absolutely screaming his head off about the same age as ds1 bless his heart, had a huge lump in my throat and really was hoping that no-one would look at me and notice cos then I would have burst out crying, don't know what had happened to him but looked like a part of his finger was missing ).

I HAVE GOT RYVETA STUCK UP THE BACK OF MY NOSE. (and it effin well kills)

(That'll teach us to diet eh Eddas ).

Got fed up of waiting so am back in the morning.

Think its quite funny. The sad thing is cos I am SO BORED at the moment it was midly entertaining and a lot more interesting than staying at home on a Saturday night.

Pinions, how/why have you got Ryvita up your nose?

Have you tried squirting warm water up your nose to make the ryvita go soggy enough to snot back?

Pinions
sorry but LOL at your ryvita incident, did they get it out?
That has to be the next thread title. I know this one is still brand new, but can we have another one before I forget??
