August 2008 - The One where Sazzles was missing so this is what we got!

[oopsacoconut]

I can't do the list sazzles will have to do it when she is back!

right, we've polished off the whole (family) bag of maltesers.. off to dreamfeed ds then bed, night all

Evening all - don't really have time to catch up on the whole thread as am on parents' v slow and ancient computer...takes forever to load pages. Noticed someone (cyteen?) asking about laughing...Adam loves the nom nom nom I'm going to eat you all up game, but the thing that really makes him giggle is hair

Was anything decided about London meet-up btw?

oh I LOOOOOVVVEEEEEE him, he is just wonderful absolutely perfect Alieight

has made my evening seeing that, thank you

busy day here. tired tired tired....

sibh the white bunks!! and the spread is lovely. very

ataraxis loving your ds. beer! too funny. glad my banter about words hit home with you. it's amazing when they start to realize words have value.

i know everyone hear is dying to know...i signed up for boot camp at the ymca!!! starts tuesday at 5:15am. will be looking like this on day one.

off to do more on facebook.
night

morning all, breakfast is on the table - fruit salad, yoghurt, hot beverages of choice and porridge - help yourselves.

first off congratulations dizzy on your potential number 4 shall we expect to see you joining the October 09 ladies? i must admit, i am terribly broody the last few days. there was some prog on about v strong people last night, two of whom had got married and had a baby - as soon as i saw the new LO on the screen my ovaries pinged like a microwave DP must have heard as he simply said "you've already got one" in weary tones.

Luckily Joe reminded me that one is enough for now with his very first bout of early hours teething pain, poor love. He is demanding my attention now so will be back later.

lol cyteen I'm the same - after 2 hours of solid whinging from ds last night he said out of the blue 'and dont talk to me about having an other one!'...but under his breath he said 'yet' hee hee. Having said that, iud fitting is this Thursday and tbh thinking about going through it all again is nice but I;'m not really ready yet

he being dp of course!

gosh, didn't see that healthy breakfast, we had cold pizza and I found a few squashed maltesers from last night's choc fest

mmmm...cold pizza, not had that for a while.
cyteen your offer of breakfast was lovely
alieight that video was wonderful. had me lol. Bless, he is gorgeous.

dd up again last night WHY WHY WHY??????
she used to sleep so well.

Did you decide where you were meeting up??

new photos on facebook if anyone wants to nosey!!!

bloody miserable, cold and wet so off to do the ironing

afternoon all, just popping on for a quick catch up

London meetup is on the 27th of Jan, location undecided but likely to be south of river (this is all from memory so i may be completely wrong!)

dizz when did you see Poppy? I don't remember you mentioning it before

DS has decided that he doesn't like sleeping in his cot after midnight. Before then, he does still wake a fair amount but after a cuddle or two and occasionally a feed, he'll go back to sleep in his cot. But, if i do exactly the same thing after midnight, no joy, tried for 2.5 hours last night. Everytime i put him down, he woke up screaming. So, last night ended up like every other night and he came into bed with me and settled fine. Anyone got any ideas? it wasn't cold, his nappy was dry, and i haven't got a clue!

maybe he just wants to be with you and nothing else will do (probably not the answer you wanted).

London meet-up - I think we'd settled on Giraffe on the south bank? Unless anyone can think of anything better? Waterloo did seem to be quite convenient for most...

Miamla - it's similar here. DD used to sleep through - now she'll go until about 3am, then it's either hourly wakings if I put her in the cot or a constant half sleep/half feeding thing for the rest of the night if I bring her into bed. ATM we all have colds which doesn't help - oh and on the subject of saying things you don't mean when half asleep, last night I told DH we'd deal with the sleep thing when we all felt better. "But we will never get better if we can't sleep!" was his reply . Bless him, he felt better enough today to make me breakfast

Miamla when he gets that way and you know it's clearly that he wants to be with you, settle him in your bed. Once he's asleep place him back in his cot but with the top you're wearing wrapped around him. He'll think he's still with you.

sleep? pah!

albs, lol! you're still having fun with yr DS?!

TS crafty idea and def one i'll be trying tonight!

cyteen, you're right! not the answer i was looking for at all!

pertelote, are you trying anything to break the cycle or are you just going with the flow?

sorry one handed typing!

he loved his pear

cool! what else have you tried him on?

give us a chance - this is day one!

pear again tomo then carrot on tues then we'll see from there...

already he's taken to it quicker than dd but she was only 17 weeks so hardly surprising.

Chose pear cos that was dd's first thing (well, tried baby rice but understandably she wasn't impressed ) so felt nostalgic and wanting to do the same for ds.

how cool...reese had pear today too. must have had a cosmic connection going on.

i'm not suppose to be on here. i have a room FULL of old baby clothes that i am suppose to be going through....sorting what goes to goodwill and what goes to family members who are actively ttc.

blasted internet. i am a junky.

sorry albs, thought you'd started a few days ago! did you give it to him whole or mashed? i've been trying a combo of mashed potato with a whole carrot. he plays with the carrot but i reckon he's eating a little bit of it. He seems to love the idea of eating, including grabbing the spoon and putting it in his own mouth but its at this point he starts grimacing!

TS!! get back to work!

No Miamla just going with the flow... though every night I resolve to do something, I just don't know what. It could be a lot worse I know, so I don't want to do anything major. I keep thinking that 6 months (and therefore weaning) and of course her op are just around the corner so I might as well wait and see...

one overstuffed box packed and ready to ship. i must admit reese doesn't have half the clothes dd1 had. i must have been blooming mad shopping for her. however, now that i've cleaned out all of reese's old clothes i think i need to do some shopping.

i'm so glad ya'll are starting to give your lo's real foods now. it's so fun-messy.

miamla or anyone I was just wondering about traffic in Britol re rush hour times etc... If I drive My dh and father says I should be setting off around 5.30am anyone any clue also setting off home times.thanks

glad weaning is going well for those who have started. Ds was watching everymouthful today,dont think it will be long here.
