Not a good enough one I suspect! :rolleyes: We do try, but he's an unpredictable little fellow!
He seemed much improved today, bit clingy and fragile still but no fever, and diarrhea way better/almost gone. So hopefully all over, fingers crossed.


Angel, sorry sleep is still being a big bugbear it can't last forever. It really does drain you and make everything harder while it's going on, though. Don't downplay the effects on you, being superwoman while exhausted 24/7 is not a good plan! Good luck.

hi bruno :hello:

glad to hear E is on the mend.

as for the sleep, i have been saying ot myself that LO may not be a good sleeper until at least 12 months or so. it doesn't mean tha ti am not trying to get her to be, becuase i am, but just trying to take the pressure off myself somehow as i see myself as such a failure that i can't get her to sleep well (for her sake).

Tia - huge decisions but it must feel good to be moving forward!! Hope it all goes well.


Tara - Yay for Erin! Is she too young for 2012??


AF - hugs for cheeky non-sleepy baby.

The really frustrating thing is that she said that she didn't work after 5pm when I first called, then said that she would be able to do it and that I should go see her. Then when I spoke to her last night she said her husband said he didn't want her working after 5pm and that she would try and speak to him again...then when I called back today she said her husband said no.


So I am guessing that it is a good thing. I am not sure I want Benjamin being in an environment where the man clearly rules the roost (I can't imagine he is back by 5pm??) and I certainly wouldn't want him somewhere where he isn't welcome.

I do have other options for a few weeks temporary care so I am not at panic stations yet.

I thought (naively) that childminders would work until at least 6pm, to give people time to finish work and get to them (that is if the parents finish at 5pm.

LIke you say, maybe not the environment you want Benjamin in

she wont give me a slap around the chops but she will :-

• pull my hair with a huge smile followed but a giggle;
• try and scratch my eye out;
• try and pull my nose off; and
• put her hand inside my mouth and scratch

i'm sure she loves me in some way

didn't you get the memo? thats the new baby signing for I'm sorry I never let you get a decent nights sleep, its because I love you so much I want to spend all my time with you :D

MFD: that is pants of her! My CM's hubby was really nice, When OH was in hospital in Glasgow they offered to have Chris overnight when I rushed up to be with him.

Well she's asleep (I think!) She has insisted I leave her bedroom door open though as it's too dark otherwise, she has never had a problem with "darkness" before? Should I invest in a nightlight? Do you get battery ones, don't fancy leaving something plugging in her wall overnight, for safety reasons.
