    Did he look at you like you were a little crazy? (to be thinking about someone you'd not met etc, I mean) :)

    :o


    He's always looking at me like i'm a little crazy!

    It was the first time he realised that I posted on the forums and he did think it was a bit weird (he compared it with internet dating:p) but now he likes that I can 'speak' to you lot if I need to know something. I think he still thinks that it is all very factual and there is no chatter, so I let him live in blissful ignorance!!

    Hmmm... woke up to crying baby at 4.20, he had nasty diarrhea nappy so I changed him, was a major fight to keep him lying on his back and out of the diarrhea, so he sobbed quite a bit. At the end, given worries about dehydration and his being so awake now, I took him into bed to BF with OH.

    After about 10 mins I was dozing off, as was OH - when Elijah threw up all over the bed and OH. She completely freaked out and started crying, I sprung up and took wailing baby to be cleansed of vomit, when we were both done scrubbing I asked her to take the baby while I changed the bed and she refused and said she didn't want to be near him. She is always totally out of it at this time of night...
    In the end I persuaded her to take him, went and changed the bed (luckily we have a mattress-topper I could strip), came back and rescued him where he was now staggering round the floor of the nursery crying while she watched him... shouted at her, told her to go back to bed, got the stuff in the laundry, spent 20 minutes trying to get him to settle but he was completely awake by this point...
    OH came back and said sorry and she was awake now and she should swap with me as it's a work night, but really she needs her sleep more than me and I was fully fully awake and etc

    So I've been sitting up with sickly grumpus-boy ever since. My only consolation is that I was better than today's Countdown contestants even at 5.30am ;)

    Hi,
    Am just catching up with the weekend's posts, but Bruno, I've just read your two posts so want to send big hugs your way. Hope you manage to get a Drs appointment this morning.

    Back in a bit...

    Make sure you get a doctors appointment today Bruno and get him seen today. Hope he gets sorted out and feels better soon xx

    I have to tell my Mam I'm thinking about buying the puppy but I'm dreading it as I know she'll tell me off and tell me I'm stupid for buying it. It's crap that I'm 34 with my own life and children, and I'm still scared of the wrath of my Mam :o

    She still tries to micro-manage my life and I know I don't live up to her standards. With the weather turning colder, Charlotte needs some long sleeved tops. Was in Sainsburys and they had some pretty ones, so I bought 8 different tops as I only wash the clothes on a weekend with working during the week. I spent about £25 on the tops, and was showing her them as they are really pretty. My Mam had a rant saying I was being extravegant and going over the top :confused: Fair enough if I'd spent a fortune on designer brands, but they were just Sainsburys own brand and I thought they were good value for money.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Oh, it was a full on love fest last night :D

    Bruno sounds like you've had a night of it, hope you manage to get an appointment for E. I'm sorry to say but it sounds like your OH thinks he does these things on purpose. Did you get anywhere with her talking to someone/getting some help?

    No plans for today, the weather looks pants too :( I just need to pop to the post office with some fairy parcels and try to wrestle a chicken into the SC.

    Liam was fab again last night. I love going into his room in the morning, I get the most amazing smiles and giggles and he seems so pleased to see me. Not sure where he gets that from cos I aint a morning person.
