You tried her in her cot yet hun i found Leo used to wake himself up hitting the Moses sides x i am using Moses for day time sleep at the moment and cot for bed time i did this with Leo to help him know when to sleep longer at night. But guessing i may end up using cot for Elliott too in day time as Leo has tendency to go and poke him x

No i aint used the cot yet as for one i dont have the baby monitors yet (mums supposed to be buying em lol) and 2, the cot wont fit in our bedroom and i'd rather have her with us until 6 months (ish) she seems to do ok in the moses basket atm as she doesnt move when shes asleep so doesnt hit the sides, she sleeps either in her swing or on the sofa downstairs through the day so basically the moses basket stays upstairs all the time which i think helps her to understand when its bedtime as she does sleep for longer periods at night than she does through the day

Last night she did ok too, i fed her and got her to sleep at 09:50pm so we went straight up to bed as soon as she was asleep, she woke at 10:30pm then 10:45pm which was annoying to say the least then she slept until 01:40am and then 04:50am so she did super good, after the last feed she was wide awake as i needed to change her bum, she was smiling at me and there were no signs of sleep any time soon, which was fine as we needed to be up for 05:30am anyway to call at the cash machine with OH, so i just got up and got us dressed after that feed!

While i was at asda this morning i got all Elises school uniform sorted, just her pack lunch bag, back pack and water bottle to get now costs a small bloody fortune it does lol! Least i'm nearly done now, looking forward to her going back to be honest, shes been a nightmare with the attitude, back chatting and not doing as shes told! Sick of the house looking a shit tip all because she cant tidy up after herself and refuses to do it unless i bribe her, which i shouldnt have to do! Kids eh!!!

thought we might have had a bad night with missus last night as she slept aaaaaalll day only having 3hours awake time all day, she even slept through most feeds so i was gearing up for houry wake up calls last night but thankfully it wasnt to be she fell to sleep roughly around 10:30pm, we went up to bed at 11:25pm and missus woke for her first feed at 12:55am, next feed was 02:45am, 04:10am and then a crappy run, 05;00am but at least it wasnt hourly all night...not the best shes done but by no means the worse either!
really hoping she doesnt sleep all day today though, prefer my 3 hourly wake up call tbh hehe!

Starting my diet Monday...should be fun, i never stick to them but i am determined to fit back into the wardrobe full of clothes rather than having to buy new...so thats my goal gonna eventually get zumba for the wii and when elise is at school, crack on with that while Lexi naps...i will be a skinny minnie

It was the first time last night that we have had my brother and his gf round for drinks since having Lexi, it was really nice although i think Lexi ended up been over stumulated with all the fussing around her etc as she was a shit when it was time for bed so we went up at 11:25pm, Lexi was still awake, i fed her and got her to sleep by 11:55pm and then she woke at 12:10am had some more bottle and then would not sleep, every time i put her in her moses basket she would stirr and start crying i was knackered! Eventually got there with her and she woke for a feed at 01:50am, then 05:30am then 06:45am so she did ok last night i just think shes getting too big for the moses basket and i'd like to put her in her cot, but our rooms not big enough to move the cot into and i dont wanna be putting her in her own room so young, so i'm kinda stuck on what to do atm! i did think maybe getting a travel cot to use in our room until shes a little older but really dunno...grr, why cant i have big bedrooms lol

Also been wondering what the lil chunk weighs lately too, so i weighed myself last night, then held her and got back on the scales and worked out the difference and it worked out that she's 15lb i was gobsmacked, we do have our weigh day next wednesday so we will see how true that is...chubster she is

[misscrazycooki]

She seems to be going longer hun x i feel a tad bad for you as Elliott has been really good lately x

[deedee84]

Yeah, we havent had hourly feeds for over a week now and when it was that bad before, these 2-3 hour sleeps are just beaut...already feel like i'm getting loads more sleep, so dont feel too bad for me haha, i'm used to worse, although it will be nice when she can go 5 or 6 hours

She fell to sleep earlier, so i thought i'd pop her in her cot and start getting her used to it before she goes in there permo...i do have monitors but they need batteries...10 in total so i cant really use them on a regular basis as it would cost me a bloody fortune in batteries, but they will do for when she has her naps in the cot she slept for 45 minutes in there although she was asleep for a good half hour before i decided to put her in there...its a start at least

xx

 

[kanga86]

Wow Harry never naps for that long during the day. We have been up since 8:30ish and he is just closing his eyes now after a feed!! I'm scared to move and wake him now lol! xx

 

[kanga86]

D'oh jinxed it! He just woke up lol xx

 

[deedee84]

Elexis is a proper lazy bum Kanga...she slept for 3 hours solid Friday morning lol!

had a decent night with the lil lady last night too, she fell asleep downstairs at 09:15pm, we went up to bed at 10:30pm and she woke for a feed at 11:30pm, the next feed was 03;00am, 04:20am and 05:45am, she seems to do really well at the beginning of the night but as morning approaches her sleep gets less and less, but tbh i would rather it be like that than the other way around as i'm knackered come bedtime, and such as when i woke at 03;00am i actually felt quite awake to feed her rather than the eye lids drooping Plus i have also noticed that even if she sleeps through the day a lot she still sleps pretty good come night time and we havent had hourly wake up calls for ages now fingers crossed she carries on like this and keeps sleeping longer and longer until were going through the night

Started the diet today too, i am soooooo gonna stick it out this time! Just had a weight watchers bagel with extra light philly and tomatoes on for brekki, it was actually rather yummy just hope that this time next week when i get weighed for the first time since starting that i have actually lost something, even if its a lb because if i bloody gain weight like i have with diets in the past i'll probably wanna give up, we'll see how i get on anyway!

xx

 

[kanga86]

Wow 3hrs in the morning we only ever get long sleeps like that during the day if we go out some where walking or in the car lol

Good luck with the diet, I went shopping on Saturday and got in loads of goodies to munch on this week, ready for the sweet withdrawal next Monday lol I hate diets but I can't keep eating all the crap I am xx

 

[deedee84]

Oh dont worry...the 3 hour naps are a rarety haha!!

Thanks for the luck, i might need it the way OH and DD eat...well what they eat more to the point went and got myself lots of weight watchers sweet treats in yesterday anyway so that should curb any cravings for sweet things i may have

xx

 

[deedee84]

My darling little princess was a right little get last night! She fell asleep at 09:15pm, at 10pm i took her bottles upstairs and got sorted before taking her up, while i was up there OH asked if i was going to bed and i said yeah and he said Lexi was awake and brought her up, so i thought i may as well just do this feed up stairs, so i fed her, but she would not go into her moses basket, every time i snook her in when i thought she was asleep she would wake and start crying, as if she was scared to be on her own, the look in her eyes when she opened them was a look as if to say "your going to leave me" so i persisted which was hard as she didnt want any more bottle but was eating her fists still! She was sick a couple of times and seemed ok after she had got that up! Finally got her to sleep at 11pm after vigourously rocking the moses basket like a mad woman...then she woke ten minutes after i stopped! OH took over in trying to get her to sleep, he tried until 11:30pm but need sleep as he was up for work at 5am! So i tried changing her nappy to see if that helped...no such luck! Finally got her to sleep at 12:30am she woke for a feed at 01:35am and went back down straight away, then woke again at 04:35am, again, going down straight after that feed, and she woke again 06:45am so i guess after i FINALLY got her to sleep after 2 and a half cowing hours, she actually did really well! I bloody hope we dont have the same again tonight...jeeze, it was hardwork and really tested my patience but i got there in the end

Still sticking to the diet, even though OH went and got a greggs yesterday i made do with a weight watchers caramel mallow which was quite nice and only 1 point!
He did get garlic and chilli king prawns last night from the take away but i had enough points left to have some with him hehe...pretty grateful he picked a healthy option from the chinese tbh
So had my bagel for brekki again this morning...lets see how i get on today!

xx

 

[kanga86]

Oh Hun, what a crappy night. I feel exhausted even though we had a really good night. Harry zonked out downstairs and we managed to bring him up and put him in his basket without waking him.

As for food we were bad yesterday and had KFC, I'm gonna be making the most of this week and have a little bit of every naughty ready for being good next week! It's gonna be tough, but once ur over the first few days I'm sure/ hope it gets easier lol xx

 

[deedee84]

Deffo was a crappy night...well until she finally nodded off anyway!

This 2nd day of dieting is hard haha, i went into town and all the lovely food smells from the cafe were making me hungry, my stomach was growling, so i got home and had some weight watchers snacks, which have done sweet FA...thankfully its dinner time at last so gonna get my dinner now missus is asleep! Then i have to wait until tea time i thought stopping smoking was hard...this is waaaaay harder lol! Gonna try and stick it out...not gonna beat mi self up if i dont though, exercise might be the way forward for me and just eat what o want but in moderation...might do it that way once missus sleeps longer and i have more energy i'll get there weight wise...i need to!

xx

 

[kanga86]

It is really hard to diet, I plan to cut down my crappy snacks, but not cut them out all together straight away. I will try and limit it, so just 2 biscuits rather than the whole pack lol My eating is crazy right now, im glad I'm BF'ing as it seems to keep my weight stabilised for now! But can't keep going like this, I'm hoping to get motivated to walk places too to shed some pounds xx

 

[deedee84]

Yeah, tbh i luuuuurve food so finding it hard, but i got weighed this morning and seems i have lost 2lb already wasnt supposed to get weighed while Monday but thought bugger it, i'm flagging and if ive lost a bit at least, it will keep me motivated to continue plus i have to walk everywhere too, i can drive, but we just dont have a car boo hoo lol xx

 

[deedee84]

Had a super duper night with Elexis last night, i think it probably helped that she hardly slept all day, i'm blaming another growth spurt on that...and the fact that shes been feeding more and been more crankier than usual!
So missus fell to sleep last night at about 09:30pm, i took her up to bed at 10:10pm and we had our first wake up call at 01:20am followed by one at 04:10am then it went a bit crap, was 05;00am then 05:15am then she went until 07:20am...at least i felt like i got some sleep at least

Still not doing bad on the diet although i have been wanting what i cant have boo hoo had WW salmon and wedge melt with pasta last night, bulked it up with the pasta and used the rest of my daily points on tea as i was sooooo hungry, was gorgeous tbh!
So today ive started with the bagel and philly again this morning, getting up later and having brekki later might sustain me longer until lunch fx! Weigh day for lexi today too...so i'll take a brisk walk down there today and work a sweat up lol I was naughty and got on the scales this morning, lost 2lb already which is giving me the motivation to stick with it...i will be a skinny minnie again lol

xx

 

[misscrazycooki]

That's good hun i lost 5 lb but kind of went off on my diet so need to sort it out but what with winter rolling in i bet i don't stick to it with all the comfort food x

After today i feel the need to comfort eat but i wont...been so stressful, Elise has been a turd, Elexis has been grumpy, then as soon as we stepped out the door to walk to the docs for Elexis's weigh in the heavens opened, so i faffed getting the brolly up, dropped the changing bag in a puddle, set off stepped in a massive puddle, Ugg boots drenched and so were my feet, my brolly dripped water all down my sodding back so my back was soaked, then a massive drop of water fell from a building and landed smack on my nose...so i was mega pissed to say the least! Then there was the little old thing called weigh in to be done...and my chunk weighs 14lb 7oz, shes jumped from the 91st centile up to the 98th centil so the HV asked another HV about it as its not in line with her length and i've been advised to stick missus chubster onto stage 2 formula dear me! She said shes not concerned though so thats a bonus! Bloody stage 2
