[Dozymare]

Sorry that is soooo crap but we needed a new thread!!!!!

Ooh I want a wii fit. My sister got one for her christmas I had a great time on it. As did my 8 year old niece, me a big kid?...yup!!

Hey have you guys heard of DINKs?
It is a perfect anacronism (??) for my sister and her BF. They bought my mum a DS lite for her christmas

Double Income No Kids
Wish I was one of them!
Na, not really, wouldn't trade for the world. Wish I had been one though

oops

I think I have got my period

came back at 9 weeks with DD inspite of exclusive BFing, but she was missing a night feed by six weeks. I'm feeding bumble every three hours day and night so thought I'd get a much longer respite this time around.

anyhoo have had a bit of a yellowy discharge for a day or so, and was worried about infection and then tonight I have had some spotting and feel crampy. It could still be an infection though, but as I feel shoite anyway it's difficult to tell.

I've also just tried to express and got two measly ozs so no can go to bed and leave DH doing the next feed....

twinlling I leave my back door open all the time as well.....but not intentionally

Hope everyone had a fantastic christmas.

Sorry to hear your babies are poorly Pinky & Nic hope they get better soon.

Daisy & Obs hope you nights start improving soon and you get some sleep you are both fab lasies the way you cope

Twinkling well done you on the real nappies, I have some I just need to get round to trying them again .

DH and I got a Wii fit for each other and had a go last night I love it, it is so much fun and also a little hard - Oh and it said I am an obese 46 year old that'll be me well and truely on the diet thread in the new year - I've put half a stone BACK on over chrimbo - oops that will be 3 1/2 stone for me then!

I also got killer heels for the first time EVER and I am managing so far not to break my ankle although I haven't been far!
I appear to have turned into a girl since having Jay, I have even had makeup on 3 times in a week and haven't tied my hair back for 2 - DH is very pleased

success chez daisy last night.

bumble was put down in his cot at 10ish; he fed for a bit when I went to bed at just after 1am and then that was him until after 6 when he fed and had another sleep till nearly 8. He's been awake and alert and happy for well over an hour this morning as well and is napping happily in his chair.

I'm now wondering what's wrong with him

I dread to think what my Wii fit age/health status will be.....probably morbidly obese 90 year old

go on buzz, feel the fluff, you know you want to

Morning ladies.
Hoorah for success for daisy. We took ds2 into our bed last night at 4.30am, with me AND dh. It was fine. And we all slept till 9.30 am !
WE have cancelled our memebership at the gym. I just wasn't going. But I want to go to just one class per week. And the one I want to go to is Boxercise. But dh says , whilst bf, this is too aggressive ? Surely not. Surely I don't need to check with my GP over this ?
When we went to the hospital the other day, for scan of testicle, they said there was liquid on both testicles. And hernias on both. Not cysts as GP thought. Apparently I need to go back to my GP to ask to be referrred to specialist. How stupid is that. Why am I not automatically referred ?
So now ds needs to be referred re refux, hernia on testicles, and hernias on umbilical.

Now you all know how I despise outies tummy buttons. Like when thry pop in pregnancy. I don't know why I hate them so much. Butt hey make me feel really ill.And ds has such abeautiful one. My photo on here, with ds1 and 2 in the bath, shows it. But obviously witht he hernia it has popped out. and when he really cries it pops out more and throbs.

I am very very very very sad about this. I am sure you all think this is petty, but I can't help how I feel.
My sil is a nurse. She agreed with me. If they had taken care of us at the stArt, then alot of our multitude of minor problems which have caused such stress, could have been avoided.

BUt she says one step at at time.First we need to find our info re the reflux. and we need to find out WHAt is causing all these hernias. Then apparently once resolved, it is sometimes possible to push a tummy button back in. Witht eh help of a strong sticky plsster. I hope and pray to god, that thaT WILL WORK.

Dh and I agreed that the house is a shithole. But neither of us can be bothered to do housework.

We are going to a new years party. In dh'd bestfriends pub. It is a fancy dress. 'Celebrity get me out of here'. I have khaki shorts. Should I wear my killer heels ?
Or, just in the bedroom daISY ?

It was mummynic who said no strenous exercise till 12 weeks, right ?
Daisy, are you sure it is period. god, that would be a shame. why would you need one of those, unless you were getting jiggy with it again, with dh already. trying for a 4th. Yeah like right. as if. on both counts. getting jiggy with it. or number 4. will hell freeze over before either of those things happen ?
twinkling - I didn't realise quite how much , in the back-of-beyond, you were. Are you that remote then ?

obs, as long as you are in a very well supporting bra then it's ok to jiggle a bit....or is DH worried you'll make butter?

good old kellymom

if you have had a section, which you have...so yeah, 12 weeks, but I'd get checked by the doc before commencing.

Spotting has stopped, but still crampy; am now worried about infection. I'm going to call the docs tomorrow and get checked out.

and as for getting jiggy with DH....I'm too scared I might wee myself at a crucial moment ...and love me as he does, he's just not into water sports

hello everyone Tiger is asleep, I have kicked DH and the boys out for a run in the park, specifially so I could catch up Definately getting withdrawal symptoms!!!

Christmas was fab - really enjoyed it so much more as DS1 was old enough to "get" Father Christmas - we tracked him online and everything. I am just a big kid really!

Good news, Tiger slept through from 1030-6ish 2 nights on the trot. This was a huige shock, as DS1 and DS2 were 10 and 13 weeks before they did this. I reckon it is because she is FF so gets fuller for longer.#

daisy huge hurrah for you - hopefully this is a breakthrough and sleep will return?!! I think, with the excpetion of obs that everyone's Lo's are sleeping well now......

obs I will be back in the gym w/c 5th Jan but NOT doing mny kick boxing classes until fitness levels are improved. I will start of slowly and build up. Am seriously contemplating going for a jog today/tomnorrow but haven't had my check yet, so not sure if this is a good idea???? Anyone????

hi dozy, sounds like a lovely Christmas.

I would check with your doc, as you had a section as well didn't you? Power walking would be OK though I'd think.

I'm going to get the Wii fit out tonight as I feel a lot better today.

Jingle - i hope you are not wearing the killer heels on the wii fit .
I got one as well - it is still in the box.When I could have the time I don't have any energy and vice versa. minirosa is doing pretty well at nights but hates her basket in the day. hates the chair for napping and only sleeps in arms....mmmmmm.Obs hope new year brings solutions for you. Stnic get one of those tube mucus sucker things ..they are fab a few drops of saline, massage in the nose and then slurp..they do have filter in them but dh uses a tissue over the end as well !!!! Found the pump things rubbish with little noses!
Daisy thx for kellymum ( again) and poo advice we now wait.

sorry for bad typing before.
was on new laptop.
reminder, reminder, MUST check spelling before posting.
Actually I used to do this before, so can't blame it entirely on new laptop.
Shall I make that a new years resolution then ? never bothered with that nonsense before.

Anyone else got NY's Resolutions ?

I saw a girl in Kingston yesterday with glasses I really liked. I had the courage to ask her where she got them. what do you think? They are a bit groovy. They are like black(burgundy actaully) with a turquoise on the inside. Here is link. But if you click on the burgundy/blue , in the options section, you will see what a fab colour they are:turquoise
Now THEY would start off my GLAM CAMPAIGN, wouldn't they ?

goggles look fab obs . I've always been a bit staid where glasses are concerned but the pairs I have this time are black/white/silver and a reddy brown/orange/gold.

New Year Resolutions for me are:

1. Get back to eating healthily (ie NO gluten)
2. Get my weight down to under 10st
3. Increase my fitness levels
4. Curb my MNetting.
5. Actively do things to help cope with my depression.

Oh daisy 'cope with depression'?
I thought you were doing ok? You always sound pretty upbeat and positive to me?
Thats good about the sleeping.
Am I the only one that is waiting for a sleep through?
J feeds 12, 4, 7, 10 give or take the odd half hour. Pretty much 3 hourly.
Then up for a couple of hours, either from 4 or 7, groaning really loudly. Trying to deal with his wind or get a poo out, at least that always seems to be the end result. Nothing I do helps so I have to leave him to it and try to replace the dummy, almost to muffle him a little Doesn't work for the most part. What can I do with him??

Yup obs ya know John o' Groats? 15 miles away pretty much as far north as you get!!

Hi ladies

Things not to bad here, mastitis cleared up. Santa brought me a sparkling rock for my finger - well done DH!!

Rebecca had her 1st bottle on xmas day, I just thought it would be nice for DH to feed her. No problems, i was a bit worried as she had never had one. She has not had one since but I am tired as she is really unsettled and feeding every 2 1/2 hours.

Daisy - hope your feeling better.

Mummynic sorry to hear your little one is poorly. Hope things improve soon.

Obs you sound fab despite lack of sleep. What a fab DH getting you computer for mumsnetting!!

Pinky sorry about your trip to doc, hope Imi feeling better.

I nipped to Next today but did not get much I need want some new boots but did not get any.

Any how got to go feeding time again. . . .

hi. sorry for brief post before...interrupted as usual. congrats to all the sleeping babies! esp. obs and daisy, you have been a long time waiting. dozy, my dream is 10.30-6 in about 2 yrs time!!! mine have been up and disturbing. they have both got the grumps. lots of crying. got some gripe water from boots. podgkin (dd) will drink it (she won't drink the 'original' gripe water but this one is apple flavour), but Judo spits it out. dh and i had a rough night. they were up from 3am-7! Crying, crying. I swapped with him at 5am. Then ds1 woke up - grrrrrrrrrrrrr. So glad still at parents with all the help. CFS has been playing up, I am not surprised. I spent all of Boxing Day in bed, and today has gone in a blur of sleep/ feeding babies. So much for boots and skinny jeans, no energy to wear them. Am supposed to go to a New Year party but have decided not to go, it will take me too long to get over it and in the meantime it will be extremely difficult to cope with babies and ds1.

The only reason I got so much in sales is that I had to change nearly ALL my xmas presents. Still it was fun, and I got double the stuff as it was in the sales! Bit depressing on xmas day when all the clothes I asked for looked really horrid despite being size 18 tops. I bought a size 20 top in Next. Oh my giddy aunt. It is the most flattering of the lot!!!

Podgie is getting naughty re. bottle. She missed 2 over xmas as too hectic to bother and has started refusing. She will take it in the end, but i feel like i have to keep it up every single day now.

My new year's resolutions (but starting only about 5 days after New Year are!):

• eat healthily. aiming for 10 fruit and veg a day, but I will be happy to reach 8. no more sweets, choc and cakes.
• get AD's from doc
• try and get babies into some sort of routine which they can both handle (they are very different)

Keeping it simple then!!!

Hello everybody, glad everybody survived Christmas although sorry to hear about trips to hospital/doctors and more poorly babies
I'm very of all the sales shopping and killer heels! Mind you, after pregnancy it's as though I have a whole new wardrobe with stuff I haven't worn in a year so can't really justify yet more clothes. Plus tops have to be bf friendly so I'm living in black and white feeding tops at the moment - really glam!
We had a lovely Christmas, the first one with E was really special. She was spoilt rotten as expected and we're now figuring where to put all the stuff! She was very good on the day too - spent the whole meal in her swing chair either chatting to herself or asleep
New year's resolutions... Get E into a routine of some sort and also get her to stay in her bed for longer than 10 minutes at a time My Mum bought me The Baby Whisperer for Xmas so I've been reading that and will be trying some of the tips. Anybody else used it?
Off to a NCT get-together now - hope everybody has a nice evening and a peaceful night

Evening!

A big yay to Obs and Daisy for the sleeping babes

Twinkling you are not the only one waiting for a sleep-through!! Sam has yet to sleep through - but he is only 5 weeks so probably a bit much to expect yet (although DS1 was sleeping through every night by this age ) Sam feeds at 10 when we go to bed and then generally twice in the night (about 2 and 5) - he drinks quite a lot in the night aswell so no signs of it stopping!

Obs I have had the same advice about vigorous exercise, like aerobics, after a cs - 12 weeks. I do a fantastic high-impact aerobics class and am gutted that it is going to be Feb before I can go again! Just walking on the treadmill and cycling for me until then.

I am also about all the sale shopping - I am so huge I can't get anything to fit and am currently living in 2 maternity tops that don't look like maternity clothes and hide my bump but I did have a VIP invitation to the Next sale last Monday and bought tons of stuff for the boys!!

Right, so they are on record, my New Years resolutions are:

1. Get Sam into a routine
2. Limit DS1's TV viewing as it is getting out of hand
3. Lose 3 stone
4. Do housework when Sam is napping rather than MN

Hope you are all having a good night x

well we will have to have a Nov babies - mums loose weight thread as I need to loose tons - Doc said no dieting when bf just eat sensibly and walk lots - well do lots of that already so just have to do the eat sensible bit then
So thats a 1 for me to loose enough weight for something nice for dd2 christening in April I have to loose lots as the Italian sizes are all crap and I will not be going to the Uk before then !
2) to have more patience with dh family !
3) To try to keep the house in les of a tip !
4) To get more organised - I am going to have to do that anyway.
5) routine would be great but until we get dd1 back to nursery I need to see hwo we will work it..poor love !
Am sure I will have lots more buts thats a few to get started.

Good resolutions, mine so far are

1. lose 3ish stone
2. try not to lose my temper with DS1 and shout at him less
3. make more of an effort with my physical appearance

Just caught up on 3 days of posts (!) whilst feeding A. Will attempt to put a proper post on later in AM.

ME QUICK SUMMARY - I cry a lot everyday often on the quiet due to stuff with DH and DS breaking my heart everyday. A is the only thing keeping me here. Bad I know. Cant talk, not that things would be better, with family or friends.

The other day I was curled up crying my heart out in the corner of A's nursery whilst DH, DS, A AND PILs were downstairs.

oh Vbab big big hugs to you, keep posting when you can we are all here for you x
