SPB

SOL - I have a MOUNTAIN of washing at tne moment, its just all got out of hand and so I'm trying to have some on the go at all times at the moment! Sorry you're feeling shit

BWI - meant to say about you still not feeling quite right - are you pregnant?? I mean no, no Obviously. I dont want any more. I dont. I dont, I dont, I dont.

It is a nice age - I do enjoy the contrast between E and S, and it's really lovely that I can trust E to look after S for a few minutes for me. Emily is the world's best at entertaining S, and can bring her to giggles much more readily than anyone else - I can see the adoration in S's eyes already!

Pesha - whoops! Bugger bugger bugger...hope it's not as bad as feared

Pesha No I'm not pregnant...I think

Hope DP car is ok. It's just horrible when something like that happens.

Are you sure Ange?? Someones gotta get pregnant soon surely!

And bugger bugger bugger indeed! DP is never going to let this go!

IDOC - I have the same as dd1 is 9 and really very responsible and dd2 is very maternal! It is so lovely to hear the little one laugh at their siblings isn't it? When we were out for a meal on hols B was fussy when dh was holding her and dd1 who had finished said 'let me have her' - we handed her over reluctantly thinking she would really kick off but no, just snuggled into big sis - it was plain that was what she had been angling for, dd1 was chuffed I can tell you!!

Pesha - oh dear with the car - hopefully it doesn't look as bad as it sounded - it's at times like these I'm quite glad I don't drive.

Pesha if you keep saying things like that one of two things will happen a) Dippy will get pregnant - well she keeps mentioning no 4! or b) you will get pregnant.

Sure enough Pesha!! I agree though someone's got to get pregnant soon!

evening!

Busy day here! Have been sewing, washing and ironing lots of funky fabric to use as table cloths at T's thanksgiving, 3 weeks to go, but i'm still panicing! And I've cleared out the spare room and T's room for people to stay over in. It's looking like we'll have 8 people bunking down in our house. I'm tired just thinking about it.

And then I was at work today as well. Meeting only finished at 10pm. Why are there never enough hours in the day!!

Hope that babies sleep for you tonight lovlies. T slept 7-7 last night and it was BLISS after 6 weeks of broken sleep

Sorry no personals, brain mush. I think I need to drag myself off to bed

Nighty night

Hi all, busy afternoon and early evening. Got back from meeting to hear D wailing from outside front door, we did manage to settle him to sleep though but he keeps stirring and crying, think it must be those teeth.

PMSL at Pesha wanting someone to be pregnant. Is this a sort of transfer of broodiness, feeling that you shouldn't have more so someone else on the thread should?

tcmummy, am jealous of T's sleeping.

Goodnight all, am going up this side of midnight for once, don't know how much sleep we'll get tonight and an early start/busy day tomorow.

Morning
Yes, it is
Pesha, oh no! I hate doing stuff like that, it's such a horrible feeling isn't it? Hope the damage isn't too bad. And yes, even though you were making excuses, I completely understand (makes it sound like I hit cars all the time, I don't, honest )
Well, not quite sure why I'm here, 20 mins ago T was snug in his cot after his night time feed, arm round his taggie blanket (ooohh). Then all of a sudden his eyes were wide open and now he's crawling around and showing no signs of being sleepy. Usually I'd just come down here and sleep alongside it, well apparently that doesn't work when he can disappear off!

Alongside 'it', I mean 'him' of course, not his taggie blanket & I'm not becoming claire verity
ooh a yawn, that's a good start

otoh the keyboard seems completely back to normal

ok i'm filling active convos, stinky is finally asleep, bed i think!

Morning! Have been trying to keep up but I can´t remember anything now except thoughts and wishes for the little twin, I´m sorry I can´t remember who posted that but I hope he is doing okay.

And pregnancy? What is all this talk of pregnancy?? You´re all insane

GMM - hahahahah re. the nappies.. you will love fuzzis for sure.. although I´ve really been tempted by bumgenius lately - octo any experience? But no money so he´ll (I´ll) have to make do..

Well N is down already for a nap and we´ve got mum and babies group at 10am so going to try and get a wriggle on.
Went once and then haven´t been for 3 weeks what with one thing or another so really want to try and make it this week. Forgot to tell you all I made a RL mummy friend! can you believe it? An english one too! Stranger things have happened. Ooops dh out of shower and I´ve not moved, better look busy

morning maveta! Good news about your rl friend!
The twins are GMM's mum & partner's friends'.

Hey ladies - another CRAP night here, awake at 11, 1 and 4, then deciding at 5 it was time to get up..... It seems to be worse at the moment than its ever been - he is so whingey at the moment too - I think his teeth are bothering him but I cant even turna away from him without him crying - ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Poor you at half 2 this morning, SPB Hope he and you settled quickly sweetie nd he had a good lie-in this am

Just wanted to record to fact - P IS STILL ASLEEP!!!!! From 6.45m yesterday!! Obviously needs it, shame DH couldn't think of me though, even after having a HUGE shouting match last night. His alarm went off AT LEAST 4 times from 6am and then at 6.45 he decided that it would be fun to "pester" me for 30 mins, iykwim!!? He never learns. He could've so easily got up, showered, dressed, got the girls up and taken them to nusery on his way to work and left me to have a rest, but oh no ......

Sigh.

Soryr ladies - how are we all today? I am going to try and grab a quicky shower while the sleep monster is still sleeping.

Sorry for crap night, GMM P is similar atm - can't leave her for 2 secs without her bawling. Feel like the only time she is not screaming is when she is sleeping.....

CD and GMM so sorry to hear you've had dreadful nights/ mornings. Mine was fine after T went back to sleep - was in bed until 7 and has gone for his nap very early!
He is also doing the crying the minute I turn away from him - psychic April babies again! Is this separation anxiety do you think, and how long does it last?

spoke too sooon, hes awaker

SOrry some of you have had crap nights. at your dh cd, what a pita

Feeling better today. Things got to a head last night. Was talking to dh and whilst I was mid sentance he totoally changed the subject and wanted to show me the f@>/ing tumble dryer vent seriously So he got an earful on how i'm fed up getting ignored and yes maybe my waffle wasn't very interesting but I was mid-sentance and that he was rude ANyway it set me off in tears but i went upstairs and apparently he didn't know I was crying Went of to Tesco (bloody food shopping) and he still didn't say anything I then went upstairs to watch eastenders and then he finally came to see if I was ok Normally I just let things go and carry on but i'd just had enough. I hate being ignored. DD does it all the time but being 3 you have to let it go. I'm sick and tired of talking to dh and expecting a response and getting that blank look or blatant ignoring or , the worst one, the yep, ah hah and you knon he hasn't heard a thing. It's just so rude. Anwyay I told him that since it'd taken 2 hours to apologise it clearly didn't bother him that I was upset. He said 'do you not think you're overreacting?'

Right that's my rant finished, what's the point getting pissed off if they just don't 'get it'. May as well talk to the wall.

Off to get the troops ready, see you all later

Depends on the baby, SPB, I am afraid ..... with mine, erm, , erm, I think til they were about 10 / 11 months ish ...... Have to admit it is easier when they have older silbings to take an interest in them .....

{{{{Eddas}}}}} I know it might not help, but you are not the only one sweetie - DH doesn't "get it" atm either ..... making things very tough .....

Should be in the shower, argh!!

eddas that sounds horrible
I know exactly what you mean about the 'mm-hm', 'yeah' conversations, we normally end up having an argument
"We discussed this, you agreed!"
"No I didn't, I don't remember that"
aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh
If it helps, you're not alone
CD, 10 months is not good but not as bad as I was worrying! I thought it might go on until they're 2 or 3
My laptop keyboard seems back to normal, must make an effort not to throw breakfast in it from now on.

sympathies re. grumpy/restless babies. I have to say the last two nights N has done better, feeding just before we go to bed and then about 2am and then at 5am he comes into bed with us and I can normally feed him and get him to settle until about 6am when one of us gets up. It´s so much better than the nights we´ve been having lately where we´ve each been up 3 or 4 times that I´ll take it! Hopefully his cold is on the way out and maybe now he has his two bottom teeth we will have at least a short respite before it all starts again (please please please!)

for you re. dh dippy, it does annoy me that when it´s my turn to get up early I will get up at 6am and quietly leave dh to sleep but when it´s his turn I all but have to kick him out of bed and then he stomps around in a grump because he´s tired aren´t we all?!

I have noticed N crying for me a lot more lately, reaching for me when dh picks him up or crying when dh takes him off me.. it´s kind of cute but kind of tiring.

Quick q. I´ve only been to this baby group once and N caught a stinker of a cold. He´s only just getting over one now, would you take him to the group this morning or not? I´d like to go but I´d feel terrible if he got sick again.. thoughts?
