March 2007-Today our babies will mostly be eating.............

[KITTYmaspudding]

ok, new thread, old one full!!

Good luck Mossy with job too!

i cannot keep up with these name changes! obviously i am a bit slow

lol at toby bringing you the wipes

another poo obsessed baby here! Samuel comes up to me when he's reeking and says "Boo bah" (his attempt at poo pants which is what i always say to him!).... makes something which is essentially very stinky into something very cute!

how are you today piff?

Kitty... I saw one of those pelvic thing-a-ma-jigs on The Wright Stuff this morning. They had a natural baby product segment which was really interesting... they recommended Mossy's No Cry Sleep book too.

My copy arrived this morning so I am looking forward to sorting out these bedtimes. Kate is ravenous, just like Finn atm - except that she won't eat her food. She will eat it if it comes from our plates???

I am amazed by the babies who recognise that they have dirty bums . They are very clever.

Kitty, lol at Ronnie - well, your description of anyone feeling frustrated when they hit a wall . I wonder if he has been feeling hungry? I hope that you are enjoying your time with him while your kiddliwinks are in school / nursery.

Mossy... I was wondering about Eids this morning too. Perhaps she is enjoying all that sunshine!! It was 42 degrees when I spoke to my Dad in Adelaide last week.

Sponge... any news on your Dad?

Foxy... you must be shattered after your busy night!! With so many babies constantly feeding... is it a growth spurt or an age / stage thing?

My hubs' dd is 14. There are similarities between the girls' appearance but her mother is also Maori so she is much darker. The girls give a good argument to the nature vs nurture theory because they are so alike. Of course hubs takes all the good things to mean they come from him but it must be his taste in women!!

Every time I come onto this thread it's moved on too far

We also had a feedathon last night. Another cold and more teeth on the way = lots of coughing and sleepless nights.

DD is also eating loads. Her own, and then she comes across slapping her lips and making a yumyum sort of noise asking for ours too. The bit I don't like is the flat hand in the dinner

mossy-lol@cunning linguist+tradesmans entrance.
it sounds like you know exactly what you are talking about re the bf support and will do an excellent job.

bethoo-i am going to tell you off.have you never heard of a rampant rabbit,woman?i hope you find somebody who is much better at it than your xp soon so you can properly kick him into touch.and dont be going getting pregnant by him again,it will just be groundhog day.

right,telling off over

my dd2 doesnt like fruit atall.if i give it to her she looks at me like im stupid.Elsie will eat anything though,and looks at me as if to say 'where's mine?' when i eat anything.

she had maccy d's for tea today as its ds1's birthday.cant believe its 10 years since i was lying on a bed in a victorian hospital,so drugged up i was convinced i was in an episode of blackadder

mossy(again)-dont worry about Bertie not crawling.Elsie is still doing her commando-crawl and hasnt advanced in terms of getting around for about 2 months.she still hissy-fits at the bottom of the stairs.
the only thing she says when she's pooed is 'wahhh!!wahhh!'.when dd1 was a baby everything was a teddy.
ah bless,she was so cute back then.now everything is 'whatever' or 'yeah,and?'

You make me laugh bethoo! But I agree with diva - stern talking to, missus (although I have it on good authority the tradesman's entrance is not much good for getting pg )

My rampant rabbit was handled by the burglars so I had to throw it in the bin and not got round to buying a new one yet. Was mortified as they'd got it out from its box and left it on the baby's changing mat

How's the job polarity? Mine sucks big time! I've been shoved in a corner with dull things to do. Still, it pays the bills and that's the main thing at the mo I suppose.

No crawling here, well not properly anyway. But I never crawled either. And he just whinges when he wants his nappy changed and the only word he knows is no!

Hi leo - nice to hear from you! Yes, where is Eids? And piffle - are you okay? And you sponge? Give us an update on your dad. Must be worrying for you. Hope he makes a swift recovery.

Right - must off to bed. We're having early wake ups here. And last night Elliot started yelling really loudly so I ran in and he was sitting up in his cot - I think he'd forgotten how to lie down again! I put him back down and he went straight back to sleep. Weird child ...

Diva happy birthday to your ds1!

hi people

Survived the first day at work. Jordi was great in creche, seemed really happy and stimulated. The first two hours were the longest of my life it felt like, cos I missed him SO much, it was a physical ache. I felt much better after a visit and a cuddle. The work itself was sort of ok, but it seems so irrelevant after looking after a baby. The problem I think is I wanted a different job even before I got pg, so that issue is still there really. Ho hum, shouldn't complain, I suppose, I get paid quite well for it which is at least part of the point after all.

Bethoo, you minx, you!

Knackered now, going to try to relax for half an hour then bed.

Ooh yes - happy birthday to DS1 diva.

callie - it does get easier, promise. Doesn't make the job any better though. Well done on surviving the first day. It's harder on us than on them I reckon. Elliot was having such a nice time with his carer at nursery today, he didn't look that keen about coming home!

HAppy birthday to ds1 diva.

I did write a long post earlier honest but the computer ate it.

Betho, give yourself a slap on the wrists, yeah go and get a rabbit and kick him out.

STILL waiting for my electric vibrator

only just skimmed the thread...

bethoo - not sure you are getting the "you are dumped" message across

To strengthen your resolve I suggest you add up all the money you have spent on him etc and then work out what he has forked out for
Then ask him to pay up!!!!!!

Spicemonster - i dread to think what those burglars did to your rampart rabbit, the images!!!!
Happy belated birthday kisses for Divas ds1. x
good mornign to everyone and hope yu are all ok adn babies are happy and i ma envious that several babies are communicating extraordinarily! hayden just says mama and dada! and i think he says tz for Zeus!

Oh what a horrible day and it's only twenty past eleven. I've been up all night with the most horrendous runs and this morning, phoned the agency at ten past nine to get my start time for tomorrow....

.... and apparently they are waiting to hear from the client now as to whether they want anyone or not! Am really truly pissed off because I was told this was a "done deal" and all that needed arranging was the start time.

I am in limbo though because who knows, the client may yet come through and say "yes we want her to start" in which case I have to be ready, but they may well say, "no, we don't want anyone" and then I have to start with the entire rigmarole again. I had gotten myself psyched up for starting tomorrow and now.... it might not even happen.

So cross, fed up, still don't feel well, and what I want to do is phone the agency and just say "tell me yes or no so I can get on with my life" but I've already phoned a few times & don't want to be one of those nightmare candidates that I recall so well from when I did the job!

Ah well. I know a guy looking for someone to deliver leaflets.... at least I could take Bertie with me sometimes, it's better than nowt.

Hello everyone, sorry for the moan.

mossy-can i join you on planet pissed off?that is well out of order,telling you there is a job there then saying there may not be..i hate it when people think nobody else but them has a life.

i was supposed to be having a home visit from two 'play therapists' regarding ds1 today but i feel dizzy and unwell,plus i feel like im going to either burst into tears or kill somebody so i rang and asked if i could change the day,the woman rang back just now and dh started shouting things like'we dont want any' out while i was on the phone trying to listen.i thought he was 24

grrrrr.men/PMT/life

Aw Reverssy that's horrible for you. I hope it all gets sorted soon for you!

My heating isn't working properly, I keep fiddling with the knobs and it sometimes works for a bit

There is chocolate all over the toilet, better clean it before the cleaner comes and thinks its poo

Hasan is whinging everytime I try to put him down this morning
groan, I need another cup of tea......

Hi Diva, lol at planet pissed off, yeah me too!

Well, the chap just phoned and really apologised, the client had been messing around but now they definitely do need me to start tomorrow. So I feel happier now. Mil took Bertie for a few hours so I could have a sleep so I'm going to do just that I think.

Diva what's a "play therapist" - is it like occupational therapy for kids or something like that? Sorry you're not feeling good. Your dh doesn't sound like he's helping! Can he look after the dcs while you have a lie down?

Right, off to bed to see if I can sleep.... if not, I might actually watch some telly!

I'm actually feeling a bit excited about tomorrow, I'll miss Bertie like crazy but it will also be a bit of a break I think... I'll no longer have the responsibility of making sure that baby gets enough sleep (the part of my current job that I hate!)

Xposts Rosy, what is it with the grizzly babies at the moment?

mossy-im not sure,something like that i think.

can dh look after the kids while i lay down?im not going to comment on that on a public forum

Diva, are you taking the starflower oil? It seems to wok for regarding pmt.
Dp ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS shouts out the same thing when I am on the phone, he comes up close to the receiver and yells " More gin Kitty?" He's been doing it for YEARS and he's an old git, so don't hope for your dh to improve with age
Hope you're feeling better soon..

Mossy excellent news on the jog front. Are you feeling better now?

Where's foxy?

Well Ron's actually been in quite a jolly mood for 2 days running now .
He was so sweet at toddler group this morning, he was charging up and down the hall with a push along toy, people couldn't believe what they were seeing, he was almost runnung with it!!.

When he's stand close to me I can put my arms out and he'll take a couple of free steps towards me.
I reckon he'll walk before he's 10 months.

HOpe the weather improves it's manky.
My electric vibrator's arrived

Hello to everyone else

Lol Diva! Oh, I second the Starflower Oil suggestion; I took it back in the days when AF used to visit and it stopped my pmt in its tracks.

Kitty I am going to try and eat something now so wish me luck!

I'm impressed at all these mobile babies. Bertie however has a new trick. Put him on his front to crawl and he can now get into a sitting position and stays there. He just does not want to crawl at all. Still at least it stops us having to pull our fingers out and babyproof the house just yet!!

Polar - maybe Bertie can crawl but he just chooses not to?

oh dear for all those with shitty days today.

kitty/mossy-i got some starflower oil and took it for about 5 days a couple of weeks ago,and i get really,really,really bloated.evening primrose oil and agunus castus did exactly the same when i tried them.i think i have a different type of PMT,i think i have too much progesterone rather than too little(?)as the mini-pill and early pregnancy all cause the same sypmtoms in me.

i am back taking the omega-3 again,and am going to try a couple of other things but want to introduce one at
a time in case of side effects.

dh is complaining that ive been a right bitch to him the past couple of days.ffs,he was only saying the other day how nice it was to have the 'real' me back,i wish he'd make his mind up

hahahahahaha Bethoo - Mossy had the runs last night... did you mean that

Bertie is brilliant!! Is there a streak of stubborness / contentment in him?? Good attitude to think about the things that you don't have to do while you are working. I really hope that it goes well tomorrow.

Go Ronnie... he has big models to keep up with!

I'm trying to read the sleep book but it's impossible with a baby who doesn't sleep. The cute thing is that, when I am reading it Kate takes the book to kiss the baby on the cover. It is delightful!!

Hope everything is ok with your ds Diva? And you too... feeling better. Shame that your dh can't help out with your dcs.

glad you managed your first day Callie - hope you had a good rest. How is your dd settling in at her nursery Evenhope?? Sazzy... I often had more trouble dragging MissE away from Kate's nursery when we went to pick her up.
