Toby is happy and lovely as always! He smiled and laughed for all the relatives, even ones he hasn't met before. He is sleeping nicely, he likes his night feeds but settles himself after each feed. I've ordered a cot for him because he won't fit in his crib. It is supposed to be up to 6 months but it is too small. He is also in 6-9 months clothes, and the odd 9-12 month one!

Not been out alone, but gone out with OH and parents a bit. Anxiety is quite bad, very low mood too. OH isn't keen on medication though, so not really got any options.

aww Toby is a star! Ed has out grown some of his 0-3 stuff at 9wks now and he's too big for the moses but OH is being a lazy bum and not moving the furniture round so I can fit the crib in (if he doesn't do it this week I'm gonna get a single bed and move into the spare room!)

Oh my - Benjamin has only just gone to bed :eek: he has been fine - happy and smiley (as long as we weren't trying to force him to sleep) but just wide awake!! He normally flakes at about 7pm!


Gave him some apple and pear mush earlier - his face was a picture!!

This not putting weight on has really affected me so I think I am panic feeding LOL. I will still mainly BLW but because I am worried that he is not getting enough nourishment I will do some spoon feeding too....well at least until Wednesday when I can go and get him weighed.

I didn't call my mum to tell her about the hospital until Saturday morning and I still cried when I told her

Will see what the HV says on Wed.


Feely - hope you are okay hun - did you see I put a sign on your farm saying we were missing you

Sami - I don't know who you are anymore your boys are lovely but I miss your old avvy

Well done on big girl poop El :T

You'll get used to my boys soon (or I'll go back to Edna on a whim:p)

Honestly I really don't think you need to worry about B's weight, he's still a healthy weight and I'll bet he'll be back on track if not this week than next xx

Yeah MFD I agree with sami, Ben will be fine as long as he is eating and drinking now he is bound to be putting on weight.

El hasn't had a bath for the past 5 days, she has decided she prefers to have shower, so I jump in first have my shower then she comes in with me. I get out dried and clothes on then take her out and ready for bed. It's great kill two birds with one stone.

Logically I know he is fine...inside I have a deep-rooted fear that he is not getting enough from just booby milk anymore. If it were any of you (or my RL friends) I would be telling them not to worry yadda yadda yadda. It kind of happened without me knowing it so now I am irrationally worried that he is going to waste away to nothing and I won't have realised it.

We all have our neuroses (sp?) and this has definitely hit a raw nerve with me

You have my permission to say 'I told you so' when I come on here all hand-clappy about his weight gain

Evening Everyone:)

I have read back but forgot to multi-quote...now I can't remember what I wanted to say...doesn't help that I am on my 3rd Huuueg glass of wine (which means I have drunk the whole bottle!!!)

I have had a crap 2 days, big rows and nearly divorce...how did it start you may wonder....over a pie:rotfl: Anyway turns out we are more or less staying together because of the kids, we will also try and rekindle something, but not sure what as I can't stand the sight of him at the moment. He is now being stupidly over the top nice, and all I really want is for him to not blow up and shout and swear at everyone ALL the flaming time

I have arranged to meet up with a mum I met about 4mths ago through another site;) We are meeting on Thursday at the pub for lunch and I have invited another mum along too who I met on a different site and it turns out she lives a stones throw away from me:D I have also met her already (vaguely) as she comes into the chemist where I work:D

Sorry for the long post I am tispy

No the shower doesn't seem to bother here.

Mel (((((hugs))))) it must be something in the air coz my OH is being a p***k and that is a word I rarely use :eek:

Charlotte hates the shower and won't go in it. There was only a shower on holiday and we were in a disabled room, so it had a pull down seat thing, and hand rails in the cubicle so it was really cramped to start with. She kept running off, so I ended up holding her by the wrist and washing her with one hand, and then picking her up and holding her on my hip while I rinsed her hair and body. All the time she was screaming as if I was torturing her, and her arms and legs were going all over the place. Craig was standing just outside with a towel so I could throw her out as soon as she was rinsed and get myself washed in peace.

Been talking to James and he's been telling me how he's going to buy a flat or small house in our village as he'd like to move out and be independant but he doesn't want to be too far from home. He's going to let Charlotte go round for her tea some days. He's 10

Kai is so funny, he was watching the two big-uns in the pool today and was laughing his head off, he was also trying to grab the air as if he was trying to pull himself over to join in aaaah
