Morning all..

New goal, me get up at 7am, get expressing and household jobs done before waking sleeping baby gradually earlier every day.. Ideally want him up at 8am eventually. That will do for now then we'll make it earlier still once I know what time I'll be starting work in May. Any suggestions for how I do it? Is half an hour earlier every two days too much too soon? He's waking at 10.15am given the chance

OH currently txting me saying he's got no money in his account so will have to cancel his dentist app this afternoon - hmm, any excuse! Dunno where all his money has gone though, we only got paid on Monday! :eek: Will have to do some jiggery-pokery with some dosh, pronto!

Usual Friday morning friend not visiting today but am seeing her and the other girlies for an early Christmas meal tomorrow night - must write cards! No plans for us until after OH is home from the dentist, then we're off to Asda for specs. Might have to drop by the cafe for a hot choc and investigate weezl's baby food suggestions from a while ago..

For now, tea and Belgian bun for breakfast

ending and starting on the same page... That's your trick isn't it elle? Lol

Non uniform day for aimee but I forgot to bake a cake for her to take in... Oops! Sure it won't matter... She's taken donations in the last 2 times anyway... I'm off to a surestart pamper day at 10, can't wait! Must get some toast inside me and the baby first though...

Oh how blissful - you could lie in until 10:15 if you wanted? Andrew is still at the point of needing to be fed around 11pm, then again at 3am, and has me up for 7-8am the next day! Oh well, at least it means I'm keeping up with the pumping routine. I prefer it when he doesn't wake until 8am, means I can pump before he wakes. Marley and I only manage to overlap in bed for the 3-7am period!

My morning consists of a run to the docs & chemist for some more Domperignon; then Andrew has his "one month" physio appointment just after noon. And this time my NICU parking pass has expired, so I'll have to brave the cashier's office to see how I get a refund of parking charges.

Enjoy the pampering, Krystal!

Tigs, Rhys is sleeping 2am to 10am (roughly) and I was to get it to midnight to 8am at least cos otherwise we're not going to fit in three meals at a decent time. He's really got the hang of spoon-feeding in the last few days

Going to try him on formula later today. I'm conscious there's nothing in the freezer and I'm thinking for sometime in the future, when he's more active, if there is a time he keeps me [STRIKE]run ragged[/STRIKE] busy and I don't get time to express, there's no back up. So I'm going to still express as much as before but freeze some and replace it with formula, two lots of 50ml (so two feeds, half EBM half formula) a day.

Oh, he's just waking now.. hmm, odd!

Don't want any NutriPrem2, do you? I'll be picking up Andrew's supply at some point this weekend, and they've ordered me waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too much! I know you got the powder, but this is apparently in 200ml pre-mixed tetrapaks.

Morning all

Sami - signing the petition now. I had the option to give birth there, but it's a bit too far for me when the hospital is only 10 mins away. I didn't know they were closing it though. Will circulate round my lot too

i love the pudding costume on the previous page. We have a sheep costume for Izzy from asda, as that is her part in the nursery nativity. I'm not christian at all, but I think it's important for her to learn about different religions, and some of the stories are good anyway, whatever religion they belong to. It's all good


Re babies sleeping till 10am - I'm jelous! Izzy woke me at 5:55 this morning. alarm goes off at 6:30 anyway, so there was no point settling her and going back to bed, so we are up and about. My plans for today include a good long nap together in the big bed

Have fun being pampered Krystal.

Keely - just seen your fb status. You ok?

We have four boxes of powder and six tetrapaks here, ta hun Got to use the powder as we mix it with the other powders that go in his milk - it'll be like a science experiment in our kitchen later on! :rotfl:

That's Benjamins too!

We went for the expensive mothercare suit too! It is fantastic quality though. Agreed


I took the photos the day that he cut his first tooth so he was really grumpy!! I managed to get 2 good ones from about 100 snaps!!!

Kieren hates the Santa suit! Took a million pictures, considered using this one with the tag line SEASONS GREETINGS!
