Trains aren't easy, they all want me to go on the Tube. Think I can get one from Here to Basingstoke, then to Birmingham, then to Crewe, then to home. Train leaves at 13:19, so OH would give me lift to station which means not taking carseat which is easier (Mum has her own). Then I can take buggy, which makes it easy than having a suitcase and a baby who really likes wriggling.

Going to pack 'just in case' and see what OH says.

Is today the day Weezl finds out?! She said 3.30 didn't she? Please tell me Birmingham New Street has WiFi otherwise I'm going to have to get someones number to find out!

feely that journey sounds :eek:. I really hope there's another way....

LOL at wifi in Birmingham new street! Who shall I text my news to, then you can all have it while I'm still at the hospital :rotfl:

There is wifi in McDonalds near new street... bit of a hassle to get to with the buggy though... I could always meet you and let you know

Charlotte keeps waking and crying in the night and I don't know why.

She's got a day bed and I tuck the duvet down the back so it doesn't move or fall off. I was feeling her hands and feet last night and she doesn't feel cold when I get into bed with her. She says she hasn't got a pain and just wants Mammy in for a cuddle. When I get in, she's very restless and doesn't lay still - she's just rolling about all over the place. She hasn't got any symptoms of being ill and nothing has changed in her room or outside.

It's got me puzzled as to why she keeps waking up

Chris used to do this and still does occasionally, he just wanted a cuddle and would go straight back to sleep, I assumed it was a bad dream but he has never managed to explain.
Another problem we have is Chris waking up with a dead arm from lying on it, he finds this very upsetting in the night but settles quickly after the feeling is back.
don't know if that helps at all...

Morning all,

I hope everyone is fine and dandy. I will read back a bit in a moment, I promise but please can anyone give me some advice?

Caitlin has woken up the past three nights a lot (we've had to go into her room at least 15 times last night and two nights before that, and about 10 times the night before last), so OH and I are pretty tired at the moment.

At one point on all three nights she has got pretty hysterical and I've ended up feeding her and she hasn't been fed in the night for several weeks now.

Her room doesn't feel particularly warm or cold, it feels about right, so I don't think it's the temperature. Her hands are always cold but that's because she sucks on them in the night (she's got turnover cuffs and they get soggy).

As a result of this, she finally settles properly around 5am but we're only getting an hour and a half of sleep before DH has to get up for work.

I wanted to leave weaning her as long as possible (she's 19 weeks) but I'm wondering if she's hungry? She's still on 6oz bottles as she doesn't always finish them all (and when she does finish them, she quite often sicks some back up).

She has a 6oz bottle at around 10am (tends to leave about 0.5oz), 1pm (tends to finish the bottle), 4pm (tends to leave 2 ozs) and 7pm (anything from draining the bottle to leaving 3oz). I BF her in the morning and if she needs a feed in the night. We've tried dream feeding her and she either takes nothing or ends up waking up completely.

Does anyone have any advice?

xx

My advice would be to just go with the flow She could be hungry, uncomfortable, teething, bad dreams all sorts

When I get to my Mums, there best be a meet up there I'm much better with trains, buses and things up there.

Mil's mum - I'd just tell MIL the bears aren't welcome, any that arrive your house will quickly find their way on to ebay. It's her call
Is it bad that I'm panicking because I heard OH's Granddad tell MIL that he'd got Edgar's Christmas gift sorted (but hasn't said anything to me)? I like to control and organise everyone/thing

Claire - hope it works for you on Amazon you have to go to the your account bit and somewhere there is a returns button they have to give you some kind of reference and depending on why you're returning they will/won't pay postage

Weezl - hoping scan goes well

Feelie - you're gonna be in my worries until I know you're safe!

lovely pic csh!!
Lynda - your OH sounds fab!
Maz - I have no idea really :undecided Chris gets hysterical about leaving places when tired but is mostly ok in general.
Tigs - I think most people in general can get a bit snuffly at night. Is the air stiller at night that's all I've got:)
MM - hello

Hope I've not missed anyone!

I'm all mixed up, Edgar still asleep - I could have had my shower but didn't because he's usually up at 10ish now I think I'll have to poke him awake so I can feed him and then rush around like a loon to get to booby group:rolleyes:
