I should also add that it is absolutely nothing like the routine method used on "Bringing up Baby". We were horrified by that and thought it was cruel.

My mums friend had her boys in Japan, 40 odd years ago when her husband then was in the army. She was telling me that she was told to let them cry and not feed them during the night!!! :eek: They had a last feed about midnight and then left till 6-7am, in a different room so they didn't wake mum. Her youngest was born with problems (later made worse when he developed leukaemia and was given too much radiation) and after she gave birth, she was asked if she wanted them to 'deal with him'. :eek:

We had a good night, Amber got up at 5 for a quick feed (think she just wanted a cuddle tbh as she only fed for 10mins) then again at 7. Left her in her crib with daddy, first time I have left her rather than taking her with me to drop the boys off. I did wake him to tell him she was there. Wonder if I will come back to her screaming and him snoring? But DS2 was in and out all night for hugs, he's still a bit stuffy with the cold so I think that was waking him up.

Tia, I regret saying our routine was quite rigid now!:rotfl: I meant 'by today's uk standards'. That story is awful :eek::eek: your poor friend

Morning all.

Have dropped Izzy off at nursery for her first day (managed not to cry... saved that for when I got home ) and have been sat here not achieving very much with the pump. I hope this electric one turns up this morning, might get on a bit better with it. Off to try by hand instead - at least I get some house white that way, even if it takes longer and uses both hands!

I am not buying Benjamin anything for Christmas. Well I may relent and buy one or two things to open but I really can't see the point this year

We gave Alice three presents but two of them (a book and a baby walker) we would have got for her anyway and the other (rubber ducks( was fairly cheap. We knew Alice wouldn't really appreciate it that much but we enjoyed it and we have photos which she can look back on when she is older.

Oh and I am 10 days away from the start of magic timester2! You know the one where you stop falling asleep stood up, feeling pukey and suddenly look beautiful with boundless energy?

I've heard of this mythical trimester.

Alice has just produced a Bible and is shouting, "Jesus,Jesus, read
Jesus." Last time she produced it I read six chapters out loud and it was me who wanted to stop not her. (I love reading but I hate reading aloud.)

Krystal - are we on for Friday??

Oh bu99er! You know when you do that 'making plans for 2 different days then realising its the same day' thing... I've done that... Well, hubby's done that... He arranged for cable to come on Friday afternoon and install our free V box...Panic over though... I just called then and changed it to next Tuesday, some things are just more important than television... (Don't tell him I said that!) So yes, I'm still on for Friday What time?!

Will now go and write it on the calendar so I don't forget... And also try and remember what I'm supposed to be doing tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Elliot.

Pants sleep last night, LO wouldnt go to sleep and was then coughing for ages and waking himslef up so gave in and brought him into my bed. Then he was fidgeting all night and then this morning didnt want to wake up...
Dropped him at my mums and he was balling his eyes out.... Bodes well for my train trip to York on Saturday with OH and for possible weekend away in Oct!!!!

We gave Alice a pillow when she requested it. I think it was a few weeks after we moved so about 26 months.
