The Mel suspense is now killing me like the proverbial cat!
I'm gonna go for Medised because your not supposed to use it for babies anymore (but I'm sure I'll resort to it once teething arrives)
I'm sure she'd have said if it was controlled crying or co-sleeping because we're quite open about those

oh and I checked AM IS going to get married next year :T here comes the bride der dun dun derrrrr

I don't know if I'll be able to have another baby. Toby is the happiest baby I have ever known, and is an absolute angel. My Brother was the same, and then I came along. I know I'd have a terror of a second baby!

Who am I kidding, I'd love another baby! Only 5 more years to wait!

why 5 honey?

i wont have another. i love seth to pieces but i have to confess i do find him a bit stressful, i miss being around adults at work and i'm a really horrible person when i dont get enough sleep seth is quite enough for me, and OH already has a daughter so he's quite happy to agree thats our lot!

i dont know what seth just did cos i was typing, but i left him under his baby gym happily bashing away and looked back down to find him off the baby gym completely, on his front on the floor, with one of the toys off it in his hand i think he scooted himself up with his feet or something, he couldnt have rolled to where he got! the fact he is moving around is quite a scary thought :eek:

After nearly two weeks of Kai waking through the night. he is back to sleeping better. He has taken to waking at 4am but goes straight back off till 5.30/6am, when we then get up:) I won't tell you guys what I did, as you will probably call for me to be burnt at the stake!!!

He is dribbling like mad and biting his fingers like crazy too.......He is also VERY LOUD, he has definitely found his voice and shouts all the time haha, it is sooo funny and sooo cute:) I must have something wrong with me though, because I am desperate to have another baby asap, but dh just isn't keen! Oh well, I suppose I should be grateful for the three I have:D

Mek x

Please tell!

But Mel, don't you think 4 children is a nice even number! OH doesn't agree however. :mad:
I'm also thinking that DS was a lovely easy baby, DD1 was a horror, i'm sure she cried continuously for the first 5 years, DD2 is a happy little angel, so No.4 would be another horror. :eek:

i cant wait to move into my house, i have the most horrible interfering old woman neighbour in the world! a couple of weeks ago she knocked on the door after seth had been having one of his screaming fits to ask if everything was ok and i gave her the benefit of the doubt and was quite polite, but today she has just done exactly the same thing again! she lives underneath me and has a garden. she knocked and said "i do hope everything is ok, i cant help noticing that the little one has been crying for a long time, i've been in the garden and i think i can hear you doing the washing up while he's crying, are you coping ok? with your windows open i can hear everything"
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
i told her in no uncertain terms that yes, i was doing the washing up, i was washing up his bottles to sterilise and he doesnt like to be left alone for even a few minutes, not that it is any of her business!!
i now feel like i should be hiding away with my bl00dy windows shut so she cant hear every bl00dy thing i do! it sounds like she spends her life listening under my windows! i am absolutely fuming! and now probably expecting a visit from bl00dy social services cos of an old intefering busybody!!

How bloody rude! Interfering old bat!


Does anyone else lose an awful lot of hair when you've had your babies?
I remember it after DD1, and now its started with DD2. When I hoover i'm normally cursing the dog - but i'm moulting more than he is! :eek:
I've taken to brushing it over the bath to catch the fall out.

emlou2009

my hair is proper falling out! i'm not worried cos i know its normal, but its really annoying. if i wear my hair down i and everything around me is covered in no time so i have to wear it tied up all the time, even to bed! not too much of a hardship in this heat though.

Drives me insane! OH has just had a shower, and walked from the bathroom (downstairs) to the bedroom with damp feet picking up my lost hair - he's moaning he's got feet like the Yeti now. :rotfl:
I washed mine, combed the conditioner through removing a nice big handful, then got another handful out while i dried it!

:j:TCongratulations Money Maker.:j:T

Classic moment this morning about 20 past 7, OH was putting out some washing on line before taking me to the station and LO to nursery when suddenly hear a splash. Turned round to find LO (fully clothed inc sandals) has decided to step into paddling pool and tip his watering can full of water all over himself. Cue full change of clothes and nappy on the quick.... couldnt really do anything but laugh really!

small ripple of laugh followed by telling phrases like.... 'big blimmin fridge' 'chest freezer I'd say!' 'sharp corners on mine!' etc etc....

LOL

Can we have a sweepstake on what mel did?

The odds as I see it:

calpol 7:2 odds on favourite
controlled crying/pop him in the spare room and switch the monitor off 50:1 outsider
baby rice in the milk 1:2
lying him on his side/tummy 1:3
guinness in the milk: 100:1

roll up roll up! :D

:rotfl::rotfl:How funny:rotfl::rotfl:

And people are wagering too!!!!!!
Although I don't want you all giving me disapproving looks, over the tops of your spectacles....so not sure I will be sharing for a while.

Sami, glad they like the name. We had the same with Kai....I got some pretty rude remarks before we had him, but now they don't bat an eye, as that IS his name.

Wii is packed up so gonna nip down to post office to post it:D

Mel x

You can have mine if you want, the poor lamb has two infected ears and an infected throat so she's touch miserable (now there's an understatement!), pukey and really quite feverish. She won't sleep unless she's on my lap atm so this is third night of spectacularly little sleep.

Hope Celia gets better soon Fritha.
