hi misdee, good to see ya back. your dd sounds a bit like mine. she is very clingy, very 'highly strung', wakes at the drop of a hat. so different from her very laid back brother, but a bit like ds1. high maintenance!
coolkat, 'glad' your little Becca is waking lots too. Mirissa is up 5x per night at the moment, not sure what it is, she doesn't feed well when she's waking, so then waking hungry again. took babies to clinic today (it's been 6 weeks!), so asked HV what to do. she was very against giving formula or baby rice, so some of them are stickler for the recommended rules. said i have to stick to feeding her twice a night and on the other wakings just have to try and get her to sleep. am dreading it, but we need to break this cycle, she's not one to go to sleep easily and if she is a bit hungry...i need to sleep though, so do need to break her out of this. ds1 did this at exactly this time (around 18-20weeks) and stayed doing it till he went on solids 'properly' ie. was eating 3 good meals a day...about 7 months I think. can't afford to do that this time, so not sure what i am going to do...any ideas anyone?
lacks, sorry I forgot to mention your illness last time. i was just fixated on those limming scallops (maybe you can eat scallops ?). not sure how you're managing with your brood and the pain, you poor thing. and not even being able to comfort eat! (probably a good thing)...will you be able to celebrate with a good meal sometime after the op? how long is the recovery bit?
has anyone made that cake in a cup in the microwave from mumsnet recipes. i have done it twice now. it's not great, but it's so quick and easy, a great way to make a sweet treat and ds1 likes to help and watch it cook in the microwave. takes about 5 mins from start to finish - which is about his attention span !
