How are things with your OH, scruffy? Still shooting daggers?

Oh we never said 2 words to each other until lunchtime but he knew he had to speak to me as we were going to bank about mortgage:rolleyes: He knew fine if he didn't speak to me I wouldn't go and he wouldn't have wanted to go himself.

What a bummer about Rhys 2nd app. I had so much I wanted to say in my last post but didn't quote so totally forgot what I wanted to say.

aww scruffy! i hope shes ok and you too!

Took me weeks to get Ben to take a bottle, eventually I stopped BF and he went all day with nothing. When he finally gave in and took it late evening I sat and sobbed. Only thing I can say is persistance but I'm sure someone else will have a better idea. XXX

I used to tell people that I wasn't my parents child and that they found me under an orange tree (in Derbyshire LOL)

Kids say strange things!

You could always give her what she wants

I had a CS with my last LO, after surgery I was taken back to the delivery room and slept while DH looked after LO. I was then taken to a ward and had a bath the next day.

The LO before that was a natural delivery and I was offered a bath or shower shortly after the birth, I choose a bath as they offered to put tea tree oil in it, but which I later regretted as the water was so red it made feel icky and I then took a shower all the while just wanting to get back to the LO. I went back to the delivery suite and waited on a bed on a ward but they had none, so I was put on the private ward 12 hours after LO was born.

When Benjamin was refusing a bottle (it happened about 4 or 5 times, he was getting himself really upset and once he started crying there was no hope of getting him to take it) I sat with him and rocked him with the bottle in his open (crying) mouth just trying to sooth him until he eventually took it (about ten mins - I couldn't have taken much more though).
God I sound like a bad, bad, mummy

We then decided that we shouldn't wait until he was hungry to give him a bottle but to offer it when he was calm and happy...

Now he will take anything off anyone!!

We've just put Alice into a bed. We bought a safety gate but then discovered we have metal door frames so OH needs to get a special drill bit to be able to fit it so have gone for the temporary solution of a sawn off broom handle under the door handle. (We're not so bothered about the evening as we can send her back to bed but I don't think I'd be able to sleep at night knowing she could get out and get anywhere in the house in the middle of the night.)

While we were looking at the safety gates in Mothercare, Alice was wandering around the crib/moses basket/cot section and I just kept looking round the corner to make sure she was okay. The first time I checked she was checking out the moses baskets while saying, "Little brother, little brother, little brother." She also sometimes claims that "Baby sister" is outside and we need to let her in and then is quite sad and says, "Baby sister gone" when we open the front door and show her that no one is there. Has anyone elses child randomly started talking about baby brothers and sisters? I'm worried she'll do it in front of people we know and that they'll then jump to wrong conclusions.

She's also rather randomly declared that she and I have chickenpox and need to rest. OH asked hopefully whether he has it but was given a very authoritative "No".

My DD insisted for a long time her real name was Sarah and that her real mummy was knocked down by a red car and was in heaven. She used to talk about how much she missed her dog and real mummy. She relayed the story to anyone who would listen. Her words were "she had been here before". It used to spook me right out.

OMG - that would freak me right out :eek:

Haha, I sound like a meany calling her that...she is probably a lovely girl, only met her for short while:o Would be great if you can:D
