Why are so many people up at this hour ?

[SummerDad]

Just wondering ...

Have a good flight, squeaky, and enjoy your trip Stateside.

I am terrified lol!!! I am meeting my birth mother for the first time... and my aunt, and my cousins.. who are all meeting me at the airport!

Feeding the baby who has just woken up 45 mins after the last feed .

Aw, squeaky, that is just WONDERFUL! How exciting for you - it's going to be one absofuckinglutely AMAZING journey in many more ways than a hundred one

If it's your first time in the US you are going to be blown away by the country and you are going to have the BEST time with your biological relatives, who will go out of their way to make you feel right at home Uncle Sam style.

I'm over the moon for you and can't wait to read an account of your incredible adventure... please start a thread here on your return.

Squeaky Ooh how exciting! Where abouts are you going? Have you spoken to them much before hand?

I second the request for a thread when you come back! Have an AWESOME time!

I'm up because I'm a night owl and often mumsnet work late into the night, skype with my folks in the States, other relatives down under, and assorted friends around the globe, while London sleeps. However, tonight I'm waiting for painkillers to kick in and ease my troubled knee so I can hobble up the wooden stairs to Bedfordshire.

I'm slowly getting my brain round the unpalatable fact that a replacement may be required. If all of the various potions and alternative remedies I'm necking don't do the business, I'll be booking a flight home and checking in for surgery in the not too distant future.

At this rate I might be temporarily leaving the UK on squeaky's return plane, presupposing that she decides to come back

PS anyone know of a miracle cure for osteoarthritis of the knee? Or even half a cure?

Baby won't sleep, just screams every time put him down.

Watched Twilight new moon with him in arms, 2 unsuccessful put downs and now sat listening to my DH snoring.

Need sleep

Insomnia. Have to be up in three hours for work.

Am going through deep grief.

Best wishes squeaky and thanks to AF for the succinct reminder of what I will never have again!

Awake again. Baby feeding again and now has done a massive poo which sounds like it might have shot up her back therefore requiring a bath and full outfit change. I am too nervous to look.

Just re-read last few posts. Squeaky, that's so amazing. Best of luck. Can you update us to let us know how you get on?

Good luck to me with this nappy change.

jynier, sorry for your loss.

Insomnia. Rarely sleep before about 3.00am.

Another insomniac here. Given up tossing and turning - need to be up in 2 hours anyway!

Feeding baby for the 3rd time tonight. Been up since 4 this time.

Yaks and pickle,did you bother to get any sleep?
(I sat in bed for a couple of hours, but did an all nighter. still not tired)

Another sleepless night! Thank you heavenly.

Hi jynier, I am up all night. I've started to realise, maybe I should become officially nocturnal

sorry for your loss jynier- I am also bereaved (quite a few in quick succession) but the main, truly dreadful one is nearly 4 years ago now and still partly the reason I cannot sleep. but I was always upside down with sleeping so it's not entirely that. have you been to your GP?

Just watched sleepless in Seattle, looks like I grow old and die watching movies alone

I wish I could have someone loving lying next to me ...

I am such a needy hopeless soul ...

love that movie!

I am in a library

cafecito, which library would be open at this time apart from some uni etc what are you doing there hehe

may be I should try to sleep have work at 8 in the morning. No idea what I keep waiting for every night till I get dead tired and just fall asleep.
