How are all you new mummies doing?

[dingdongbaby]

Did you find a dress Kathryn? I was in Norwich today too...got a little excited to be shopping without a bump again...bloomin loved it! It was soooo windy though! Poor Lucy gasped each time we walked out of a shop and the wind caught her face!

Sorry to hear about your dad too kaedin - hope you're all ok. x

Luke just threw up his entire bottle in a exorcist-esque kind of way... I'm covered in regurgitated baby milk!

Not sure If I should try and get him to sleep or take him down and give him a while and try his bottle again

I'd have a little break and give him a bit more. Otherwise he might wake in the night hungry.

Well he's sound asleep now... Might try either giving him one if he wakes or maybe a dream feed.

He won't sleep without his hippo though so I've had to dry him off as muxh as possible and hand him back- he's asleep now so I'm going to try and sneak him away from him
And wash him and dry him before he notices

 

[Maud]

Sounds like you need a second hippo!

 

[Jojo84]

We tried to get one but it was sold out. eBay prices are ridiculous but we may just have to do it

Thanks everyone, my dads still in hospital - he has chronic renal failure so his kidneys have been shutting down since he was 16 but he had a seizure last night and cracked a rib when he fell. Least he's in the best place should he need it!

Been a stressful day, Hayley had a huge cry - unlike any other time, it was as though I'd just punched her or pinched her. Awful. After she settled, she was sick a good few times as well as a few biig farts so I think it was just bad wind. She's finally asleep now - heres hoping for a long lie!!

It was windy wasn't it! Flipping hot in some shops too! Had to strip Thomas to his vest. I did get one in the end. Actually bought three to bring home to retry with all my stuff and decided in the cheapest (hubby will be pleased!) ended up with a per una one from m&s despite buying something from debenhams and monsoon (both dry clean so thought not very practical with a baby!) got my discount off the dress too so was only £44.

I couldn't believe how many people where about. Did you go for anything specific or just a mooch?

Hey! Just caught up on all the posts!

Kaedin glad to here your dad is on the mend

Jojo can't believe how big luke must be getting his jeans are cute!

Jen I felt the same when leaving Stanley but it felt nice to spend time with Chris on our own again!

Stanley still only drinks 5oz bottles at 13 weeks old but will just choose to have them more often which now, after he started sleeping through, has started waking around 4am for a bottle argh! Wish he would take more, sometimes he will take 7oz before bed but not very often,
He fell asleep in his jumperoo today one minute he was jumping about in it the next he went into a daze and fell asleep! Think he tired himself out!
I've managed to print out some new photos and framed them for around the house as I didn't have any recent ones up and been meaning to do it for ages.

Argh 2.30 fed tonight! Whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I hate you cold you've stolen my lovely uninterrupted sleep and I'm never getting you back (probably slight exaggeration but this is doing my head in now)

 

[StaceyRainbow]

I'm up

 

[T84]

I've been up since half 5 too, what's happening to the babies?! Not as bad as you guys tho but I'm pretty tired and wishing I hadn't stayed up for football. I'm hoping she falls asleep again

 

[Pumpkin9]

It gets worse! Now just been woken to the mother of all stinky poopy nappy explosions. Ruined his vest and covered the inside of his sleeping bag. That was delightful first thing in the morning. It's completely stunk the room out.

That's exactly what I did- keep saying to myself never again cause whenever I go to bed late this happens

 

[Kaedin]

I woke up to poo EVERYWHERE! Hayley slept in just a nappy as our room was very hot, she had poo all up her leg on her moses basket sheet and on the mattress cover too. Urgh

 

[Kaedin]

Ordered my pictures back from the photo shoot, theyre great! I can't help but smile when I see her cheeky wee face!

 

[StaceyRainbow]

No poo here but he did sleep through til 8, better than the 6 o clock I imagined he would wake up!
I'm terrible and don't go to sleep til about 12 cos I got into that sleep pattern when he was sleeping through, now I'm nakerd again cos he's getting up through the night!

 

[T84]

Aw gutted for the poo ladies!! Not what you need at that time in the morning! Glad you got more sleep Stacey.

I'm waiting at docs now to check out the pain I'm still getting in my foof, dreading her wanting a look!! Also gonna ask about not having af yet, I'm sure they will just say to wait tho! Then got S first swimming lesson really looking forward to it actually x

 

[Jojo84]

I left like until he woke up after throwing his bottle up and he'll slept till 6 so have him his bottle but he wouldn't settle so we brought him in with us and slept in till 9 lol

Now I'm on a rush to get stuff ready for swimming. I'm
Meeting a friend afterwards for lunch then I'm out with another friend and her daughter for coffee tomorrow if she doesn't cancel. Busy!!

Morning ladies. Arhhhhh, hate those morning poo surprises I've finally got Emma sleeping through again. Well till 6, but need to get up soon after to get the kids to school. Looking forward to not having to get out the door so early. 2 weeks till school hols! Although I'm sure this trip to Thailand is going to muck up the sleep pattern again. What was I thinking!!!
