[LackaDAISYcal]

FREE ICE CREAM HERE!!!!

oooh jammy free icecream? thats like a winning lotto ticket to a pregnant woman

Unfortunately Natty it seems that not all of their shops are doing it. And even if the one near us is doing it, which I don't think it is, the free ice cream is only on from 1-5pm next Tuesday, when I will be at work

good for you Natty

life has been very boring since penguin-gate - do we need to set him up?

ice cream? where?

bugger. no shops for MILES.

oh well, not that keen on ice cream anyway!

theres one in DH old work, so an excuse to pop down and might be able to blag our way into a film

DH has cooked twice today, AND let me crash on the sofa for an hour after lunch..

wonder how long it will last i could get used to this...

Ha ha Natty - take him for all he's worth!

I had such a lovely night's sleep last night. DT2 went down without a peep a bit before 9 & didn't wake till almost 5am, even then she didn't cry, just made wee chattery noises. We both feel asleep feeding & I popped her back in the cot around 6. That was her till 7:30 when I brought her back into bed, next thing I knew it was half 9. Don't know how long DD had been awake but she was sitting up in her cot happily playing dollies.

DT1 apparently slept pretty well at GP's house. Have to draw the conclusion that they don't really like each other sharing a cot & are happier apart. Arrgh. Hoped they would share until DD ready for a bed. Don't want to buy another bloody cot, firstly the expense plus nowhere to put it.

I suppose the dividing wall thing people do when siblings have to share rooms doesn't really work in a cot

At least you got a decent rest out of it T, and rather than get a 3rd cot is there anything you can do to get your 1st cot vacated a bit earlier than you first thought? I'm probably talking out of my arse here - know nothing about such things yet, only have thought I want her into a bed before she outgrows her current sleeping bags if possible as I don't want to keep her in sleeping bags beyond that but equally don't want to have to buy cot bedding and then have to buy more bedding for a bed shortly after.

Speaking of which am I the only one who finds the ides of grobag for older children a little bit weird?

Yep rather odd Jammy. But cosy nonetheless - wonder if there's an adult sized version.

Want to keep DD in the cot for as long as poss as I want her contained. She isn't napping as well as she used to & if she was in a bed she'd be out of it like a shot. And in the mornings when she wakes she's happy to sit in it & play until I come & get her. Means she's not rampaging around getting into mischief whilst I'm b/f the babies & can't get to her.

I wondered the same tallulah.....I want one of those

glad you had a good night T and that you DD's did too. Can you cosleep with one and have the other in the cot? and swap about in the interests of fairness?

You do well to keep your older ones in a cot. After all the palaver DD first had with her bed, she now refuses point blank to go in the cot, but getting her to stay in bed is a nightmare. We have to barricade the room door so she can't get out and are seriously considering a lock on the outside but not sure how safe this is re fires . We have cheese ofr walls in this house as well and the top stairgate keeps falling off the wall. She os pretty good at going up and down, but not sure I trust her on her own....even though she went down herself last week and woke DH up who was on the sofa.

hmm yes strange to put an older child in something that would stop them using the loo.. or walking..

DH just made me a cuppa.

where is my husband and what did you do to him.

Hmm - the co-sleeping is worth thinking about but I have a few concerns. I often have the last few hours of the morning with one in the bed but i worry about the duvet & pillows & them falling out so always wake up with a crick in my neck from holding them & the other morning I woke to find the covers over DT1's head.

Think will learn from your experiences Daisy & leave DD in her cot until she starts trying to climb out. Still no fluff btw & my folks took DD swimming today as well.

T could you get a travel cot, or two cribs? at least you could fold a travel cot up, and cribs would take up less room?
also for co sleeping have you seen this:

baby nest

getting one for my LO, i worry about covers and pillows too

I got a second cot from e-bay for £30 plus a new mattress......also want DD contained for as long as I can get away with it

morning all. I hate mornings. went to bed with the DCs again last night as DH away. (am feeling a bit iffy anxiety/depression-wise, but am hoping it's just holidayitis and everything being a bit up in the air and nothing to worry about)

Tbelle, currently I co-sleep with baggins and DS2. we have a bed guard on baggins side, and when he was tiny kept pillows away from his side. DH is collecting a cotbed from freecycle today as I was wondering if he would sleep better in a bed, but that takes away the containment of the cot (even if I only put him in it while I go to the loo or whatever), and he can get tothe top of DS1s ladder like a rat up a drainpipe!

Morning Had a "long" sleep in today - Jamlet didn't wake until 7.20 Feeling terribly lazy though, have had breakfast and looked at some books with her and now she's napping and I'm just pootling about. Off to the gym/creche later though.

cant remember who it was who sent me the new baby nappies and babygrow, i know it was someone on here tho. thank you anyway, please let me know the postage and i will PP you its the least i can do.
i am nearly sorted with nappies, ive just got to get a load of muslin squares and some nappy nippas then im cool.

morning all!
have made a resoultion to start getting up with the kids instead of expecting them to play in their room till i can face the mornings! 2nd morning in and i am out of bed pretty much as soon as they are, they are much happier, i feel a bit mean as they were prob bored waiting for me before.

Gah! Postman just rang the bell and woke Jamlet And the parcels he was trying to deliver weren't even for us! They came to us last week and I took them to the post office on Saturday with "NOT AT THIS ADDRESS RETURN TO SENDER" in thick black pen over the front, so why have they come back to me? And yes, the sender's address IS on the parcel I feel a bit mean but I am hoping she will go back to sleep if I leave her, but I can hear gentle whingeing from upstairs

oh thats annoying, postman always wakes up mine when they are napping, its like they do it on purpose!!

maybe you should keep the parcels see whats in them!

pah. DS1 wouldn't let DS2 into the loo while he was having a shower, so DS2 pooed in his jamas.
