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

Another nap but an easier one this time. Fed him and popped him in his swing, he was quiet for 15 mins then nodded off. Cold and teething must really be taking it out of him

Is my lo the only baby here who loves calpol? I never have any trouble getting it down him lol. He's had some today too. I think his grumpiness is a combi of a bit of belly ache and teeth. The amount of drool he produces is outstanding.

We've had a pj day. My mum is off work again today - good job because I've really relied on her today.

I have grumpy boys here too. 5th leap,be gone! I wish i had my mum over!

Tapatalking so cant see signatures

 

[stargirl]

Knopk, my OH and I live with my mum! I swear, even though I would love to have my own place I know how lucky I am to have my mum on hand. I really doubt whether I'd cope if it was just me and OH.

Hey ladies!

Sounds like everyone is having a tough time at the mo!

Rhys has been grumpy the past few days too thankfully it's not causing any probs with his sleep! He's still going 7pm - 7am! However during the day he's crying a lot!

Haha stargirl Rhys also loves calpol...smacks his lips together and tries to grab the syringe out my hand to do it himself!

I've just checked leap app and we have 29 days remaining of 5th leap:O!!

Hope everyone has a better evening it's freezing here so we are in for the night & all settled in PJs already

Hi Ladies,

Well, I've had a nice stress free afternoon at my parents...mum took JJ for a few hours and I relaxed for a bit...it was WELL needed. I wish we lived closer and I saw them more often!

The only problem is he didn't nap at all, so when we got home he had a bit of a meltdown, but because I felt all chilled out, I dealt with it very calmly and managed to get him to go down after 25 mins of screaming! He has been asleep for just over an hour now...probably due to wake up anytime.

Calpol doesn't bother JJ either, he is usually quite happy to have it administered. This 5th LEAP is definitely my least favourite so far. 24 days to go...

Got the girls round for dinner tonight, so hoping bath / bottle / bedtime go to plan tonight or we could be eating late!!

Come on grumpy babies...give all us lovely mummies a BIG break!!!!! xxxx

 

[Jmc89]

That's good you got time to relax! It is defo needed at times! OHs mum is having Rhys tomorrow for a few hours as she hasn't seen him in a while! I'm looking forward to having an afternoon to myself! Although I know I'll be desperate for him back later on haha!

It's the most frustrating thing when LOs are overtired so decide to scream the place down! Rhys does that quite a bit when it comes to bed time! You wish you could just explain to them if they went to sleep they would feel much better lol!

I'm with you on the 5th leap being the worst! I had never even heard of bloody leaps until I had Rhys...come to think of it there is a lot of things I never knew about until having Rhys!! Someone is having us on lol!

Enjoy your night tonight...hoping JJ is on his best behaviour so your not eating too late

oh Christ! Don't tell me things like that, Chezza. This 4th leap is awful.I can't imagine how it gets worse!
Am just feeding E but she's also tired. Not a good combo.

I've just got a new phone! Has anyone got tapatalk for android or what app do you use for reading this forum? The one I've got now doesn't seem to be able to upload photos.

Well we popped out earlier as we had a viewing on our house. I went to sainsburys and spent money on stuff I didn't need but also bought some nurofen for jack. After half an hour of giving it to him he was like a different child!! Calpol hadn't really touched it. But his temp went right down, he started giggling and is now asleep! Before this he has only had a hour and a half all day!! So far he's been asleep for 40 minutes so I hope he wakes a bit happier. And I wish I knew what was wrong with him?! Feel so helpless. Anyway I hope he feels better soon. If he is better on Saturday then we r off out with some friends from Birmingham who I haven't seen in 3 months. Excited to get dressed up and go out. And feel guilty for going out and leaving jack! Can't win. Hope all these squishy babies come out of their leaps soon. Jacks still in his. Hope it doesn't last xx

The 5th leap is worse???!!! Ah crap I thought the last one was bad, how could it possibly be worse?!?!

Well i'm not sure what is happening with H, he's not himself today but not overly grumpy just unhappy at times. He's been sick loads today and it smells so sweet.

MIL said he'd been snacking all morning and not drank more than 2oz at a time, to much going on at nannas. I fed him at 1.30pm and he was still bringing watery, milky, sweet sick up at 3.30-4pm so much so that ive had to bath him early as he stank. Lol

He's just had a little nap and is waking up as we speak, he'll be wanting a bottle soon, i hope to god he keeps this one down.

I'm thinking maybe it is the pear, so i'm gonna leave it out his diet for a while, see what happens.

Chezza i hope JJ behaves for you tonight. Enjoy your girlie evening

Got some devastating news earlier - a friend from school (one of my oldest friends) had been battling Cervical Cancer for a while now. Things were looking pretty good for her, as far as she was aware, but she took a turn for the worst and very sadly died early this morning. She leaves behind 4 beautiful children - aged 2 - 12.

I sat here squashing JJ in the biggest cuddle for a long time. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving him and not seeing him grow up, reaching all the milestones that I so desperately cannot wait to see. First word, first step, first school uniform, first sports day...

I wish I had made much more of an effort to see her recently, but "life" got in the way...and I've been so side tracked with Joshie's behaviour. I feel terrible that I didn't make the effort now.

Cherish everyone who means something to you...xxx

Evan is really suffering with this cold. He went to bed without a proper feed so expecting a wake up soon. He is currently snoring away bless him.

Got counselling again tomorrow morning. Haven't really had time to do my 'homework' for it.

FX no more than 3 wake ups tonight... Sleepy dust to the rest of the babies xxx
