    MFD - if he is in 'bed' and not crying (that's how I read it anyway?) he is totally fine so leave him to nod off when he's ready xxx

    Ed is now awake and just gave me the most beautiful look, I've not seen him look calm like that for days! (so I'm now crying over it :o)


    He is usually stood up at the end of the bed laughing :rolleyes:

    Or crawling to the top of the bed to pick up a cuddly toy to throw out of the bottom of the bed :rolleyes:

    Or throwing his dummy at the door!!!

    I will give it a go tonight, we have nothing to do tomorrow other than to take daddy to the hospital at lunchtime :cool:

    Hope you and Chris don't get it too bad Sami.

    Benjamin knocks the Tesco ones out of his mouth really easily - the pirate ones are kind of moulded to his face IYSWIM.

    I paid £2.99 for 3 pirate ones yesterday though :D
    Thanks hun x
    Ed likes the tesco dummies but he's gone from refusing one to having whatever you give him :confused:
    Bargain on the TT ones, where was that from?

    Is that OH or your daddy? nothing bad I hope!

    Good morning all! Edgar sept for 6hrs straight :j seems him and his fellow luscious locked one (aka Caitlyn) knew we needed a rest!
    He's asleep in my arms now after having to hold him tight with arms pinned down to get him off because he's still exhausted but was fighting it :rolleyes: Chris n I are coming down with the cold too so were kinda house bound, not going out in this weather when ill!
    Yay for sleeping babies! And if Christopher didn't wake you in the middle of those 6 hours then you totally did better than me lol... Actually, I just got an extra hour... She usually has a power nap after Aimee's gone to school so I thought I'd lie with her, wait until she woke up and the stick her in the cot while I have a shower... It would appear I dropped off again...:o
    Yum, yum, yum - Bacon Cheese and Mushroom Oatcake delivered to my desk :D
    I so need to go and buy some of those now!! Hmm... I bet cheesey oatcake would make a good weaning food ;)

    And I agree with Sami... If he's awake and happy then just leave him... He'll either lie down and settle himself off when he's ready, or he'll have a little whinge and then settle for you when you go in... I don't know about you, but sometimes I like to just lie in bed awake for a few minutes and just make the most of the fact that there's nobody around going on at me... (then I get to sleep real quick before Dave's loud snoring starts :cool:)

    Anyway... Going to jump in the shower seeing as madame is still sleeping... She'll probably wake up as soon as I do!

    Oh, and for the books, I'm definitely team Jacob... But it's all about Edward in the films....:D
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Happy Birthday 3, XXX. :D

    Yeah for poops, boo for colds!!! :rolleyes:

    Hello MOTM.

    Glad Edgar slept last night and I'm instantly hungry 'cos of MFD's morning snack. :o

    Well I said I would deal with Maddy sleeing with me and 3 days into trying she slept 9hrs in her cot last night! :T I just had to keep my hand close to hers through the bars. :cool:
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    I'm baby free! (:() I was in the kitchen making brekkie, heard a noise (on the tv, it turns out) and dashed back to check Rhys was okay... the same Rhys who'd left ten minutes earlier with my mum! :rolleyes:

    Enjoying a hot cuppa now and going to open all the post she's brought me - so much still delivered to their house! - then get dressed and off into town :)

    Sainsburys....I am sure they were under £3 (although I am doubting myself now!) There was definitely 3 of them though :)


    Hubby - he had an accident before we got together (nearly cut himself in half with high pressure water) and they had to open him up. Where they stitched his stomach together he has a funny lump and the doc now thinks that it is a minimum of 4 hernias!! So he is off to the consultant tomorrow to see about getting them sorted.

    So we have a family lie-in followed by a family lunch and maybe even some shopping :D



    Edit - LOL at anyone hankering for oatcakes!
    Yay for baby free days Elle - enjoy yourself :) It is good for grandparents and baby to bond without mummy (or daddy) interfering ;)

    Chris slept too :D no nap for me, though I may crash at around 4pm if Chris is happy to watch a film with me!

    I'm not into twilight, mostly because I don't read or go to the cinema much, is Jacob the warewolfy guy on the trailler? he's more my kinda bloke!

    HUGE list! :D Constantly adding to it but I bet I come home having forgotten quite a bit of it.. Hopefully I'll remember at least all the part-presents then I can put them together with what I've already got and get some finished, iyswim.

    I'm feeling quite faint and woozy this morning. Almost fainted when I got up in the night, had to sit with my head between my knees :( Think it might just be cos I didn't have a lot to eat yesterday.. Best have more toast!
