***April & May Mummy & Baby***

[knopk@]

Just weighed Mark, he is just over 8 kgs my lil monkey. The HV annoyed me though, she started giving me advice on weaning when i didnt ask and started banging on about baby rice (i didnt use it). She then asked me what i was planning to wean my son on. I was very tempted to say Mars bars

Tapatalking so cant see signatures

 

[Chezza]

V&B - ahh, we have Sky...I'm not sure if freeview has that channel?

Dinner tonight is leftover chilli, cheese and nachos from last night - yum!!!

Knopk - great weight for little Mark! I'm supposed to be getting JJ weighed this Friday, but I'm tempted not to go...they make me feel bad each time saying JJ is too heavy - ok, he's not a skinny boy, but they refuse to take his length into consideration!! So frustrating.

Lol @ mars bar weaning...tell them that!!!I'd love to see the look on her face

Lol xx

 

[vinandbella]

We're supposed to be seeing hv on Thursday to discuss weaning but tempted to cancel it.

Well Libby won no nap
all sweetness and light at the minute but could be a long night

I had to feed Evan in a restaurant today as they had no special room. Had a blanket to cover me and was quiet. Of course Evan then chooses to be sick all down his sleeve, my sleeve and the floor. No one saw though...

He was a nightmare to get to sleep tonight. Last night he was gone at 7.15.

He's still waking every 4 hours for a feed in the night. I'm so used to it now though and he is fantastic self settling after his feed and change. Just wish going to bed was as easy.

Sleepy dust to all babies xxx

Got her down ok but I think she's awake again just waiting for her to start shouting.

Amy 4 hrs would be bliss!

H has gone down but hardly fed before going asleep. I've got a feeling it's going to be a long night, especially as I feel ill. Sick, shakey and hot! Trust me. I'm always poorly when we go on holiday. X

 

[AmyQ]

well he just woke up. He's suddenly needing to be rocked to sleep which has never worked before. Kinda nice cos I feel needed lol.

V&B - I don't know how you manage with your little night monkey, its been weeks hasn't it? xx

 

[Emma.b]

I actually feel a little guilty for being such a moaner. I think i would die if H was waking every few hours, though I'm not stupid I know it's coming! I just hope tonight is not the night! I am exhausted and aching like mad, I'm not sure if any ladies on this thread suffered SPD? But I think mine is still hanging around, only really shows its head when I've been walking a long time. I went shopping for a new bouncer for H today and drag myself round every shop i could think of and now my hips and legs are paying the price on the plus side I managed to get him a new bouncer, only when I got it home it had a vibrating compartment to, but its a lot longer so doesn't his his feet on it, and I was gonna buy a bumbo seat but there £40 which I wouldn't mind paying if I knew I'd been able to wedge him in it for longer than a week! Lol any how I've been given one my one of my friends for free so saved myself some pennies!

Also took Harrison to his first rhyme time session today, he loved it! They had a huge mat out filled with toys and we all stay about playing and singing, H had a whale of a time dancing and watching the other babies. Afterwards he had his bottle and slept for 2 hours! I'm definitely taking him back lol

Right I'm gonna bid you all good night, Harrison has been asleep since 7.30 and had his last bottle at 6.30 so I dread to think what time he'll be waking me up. I'm gonna cram in as much asleep as possible.

Night night all sleep tight xxx

 

[vinandbella]

Yep, I'm running on fumes. She go's straight to sleep once I get her settled but wakes up again an hr later.
Moving her this weekend and praying that we have a breakthrough soon.

She didn't wake I'm off to bed now bake off has finished night ladies xx

I really do feel for you ladies with non sleepy babies Sending hugs and lots of sleepy dust to all babies tonight xx

Emma - JMC89 has a brilliant seat for Rhys - I actually ordered one myself this week! I was looking at bumbo's and didn't buy one because the max weight is 22lb...my little chunk is 18lbs+ already (probably over 19 by now) - so I didn't bother as we wouldn't have got much use of it! Anyway, I digress....JMC89 bought one of these:

You can change the seat as baby grows - and it has a little removeable tray as well. I cant wait for mine to arrive!

Night night ladies and babies xxxxx

 

[Jmc89]

As Chezza said Emma I went for the mamas & papas one...we bought the bumbo but had to return it as his poor little chunky legs had to be squeezed into it lol! Love the mamas & papas one!

Rhys got his first tooth today...it's not all the way through you can just see it and defo feel it...mega sharp and all he wants to do is chew on everything & anything lol wee soul!

I've had a lazy night tonight watching TV defo need to get back at the gym & dieting...I've totally fell off the wagon since having LO and have never been this heavy...totally getting me down just now! We were on holiday there and I have NEVER felt that self conscious bleugh so annoying!

Anyway my sis leaves OZ tomorrow arriving on thurs morning and getting to meet Rhys for the first time ever I am SO excited!!!

Sleepy dust to all babies!

[stargirl]

Jmc89 - wow I bet you are dead excited.

I still feel ropey H woke at half 12. Fed and went back down no problem but I can't sleep. Argh!!! I hate it when I can't sleep. I'm going to be so tired tomorrow and its my fault! I know I'll just start dropping off and H will wake for another feed.

 

[shell1978]

Well we had a much better night than i thought we would as Rian had been a grump all day had a temp really red cheeks think hiscteeth were playing him up plus his chest was really rattling so had to have his inhaler yest too.

Really excited got a Bumbo seat coming at the wkend and a baby walker got 2 bargins on my local fb selling page.

[Chezza]

Morning Ladies,

How did your babies sleep last night? Hope you are all feeling a lot better xx

Tis a bit chilly down south today!! 2 layers for me and 3 layers for JJ! Off to the Dr for our "3 month" jabs (at nearly 5 months old) this morning...eeeeek. Calpol and mummy cuddles at the ready.

He decided to wake me up at 04.30am this morning...yawn...then DH kept me up snoring

Exciting Shell! Love getting new things for LO...cant wait for my Baby Snug seat to arrive in the next couple of days.

JMC - VERY exciting for you - do you have any fun plans for when she is over??

Have a good day! xxx

V&B - I can highly recommend calpol vapour plug ins - JJ is near the end of his cold now, but he was really struggling to breathe without sneezing and coughing - we put one of these in his room and he was breathing better overnight on his back with the plug in on than he was during the day in our lounge! Sending Libby squishy hugs...hope she isn't suffering too much with it xx

 

[vinandbella]

Thanks Chezza I'll pick one up today. She seems her usual happy little self until I approach her nose to get rid of snot lol

She sends snotty squishes back

My god this girl can fart! She hasn't had a poo since Monday and even then it was only a tiny one but all she's done nothing but trump since!

[sophie_jane]

Oh no V&B, poor Libby. I thought little ones who were breastfed had a better immune system and were less likely to get colds? I have one at the moment - hope I don't give it to E.

It's colder here too Chezza. E's got tights under her leggings. Might put a little cardie on her too, although don't want to wrap her up too warm ... what will she do when it's really cold?!

We're already into the second set of clothes for the day after a poo explosion!!

 

[Emma.b]

Aww V&B hope Libby does suffer to much with her cold, poor little mite.

Chezza I'm glad JJ is coming to the end of his of his cold. I had one of those vapour plugins, but mine was a boots own brand. Didn't know calpol did one, I'll bare that in mind if I ever need one.

Ekk shell I have a bumbo seat coming today also, I can't wait. He sat in one at rhyme time yesterday, I don't think he'll fit in one long so I'm glad it's not cost much. Well nothing at all actually


Well I really needed my sleep last night, It didnt happen I finally fell asleep at 11 just gone, H woke up at 2am then again at 5am popped dummy in, he woke again at 6am so stuck him in bed with me then he woke at 7am for the day! Worse night in a long time!

He's currently napping now, but should be awake again soon for his bottle. Taking him to play time later on today, hopefully that will knacker him out and I can grab a nap if I need it, which I bet i will! Lol xx
