MSE Parents Club Part 9

Krystaltips

I noticed Aimee has a pile of summer tops and skirts but only 2 pairs of trousers and a party dress that fit now... You don't really notice when they wear uniform all the while and only normal clothes at the weekend do you...

I bought both girls some clothes from Woolies and got a couple of bits from Littlewoods yesterday... I thought this dress (in the white) was so cute I got one for Aimee and the next 2 sizes up for Caitlyn lol

Poor Caity Roo is going through the mill... She's very snotty... Has an awful chesty cough (although her chest is clear when she's breathing) and I noticed when she was wailing earlier that you can see her bottom teeth under the gum... She's gone to bed with Calprofen and half a teething powder (she wailed as I poured it in and half of it puffed back out again lol) and I'm not expecting much sleep...

Morning all..

Moan coming up

Nightmare night last night OH took himself off to bed early after eventually confessing he felt ill so we were expecting him to come down with what I had, and Rhys decided it wasn't a night to go to sleep nicely right when I really needed my sleep. Ashamed to say for the second time, I ended up close to yelling at him (there was a lot of muttering "!!!!!!!") and it woke OH up at 4am He rescued Rhys and took him into bed with him, leaving me on the sofa. Rhys went to sleep instantly for OH.

Had a bit of a sob once on my own.. after being ill, I've now got supply issues (:doh: :wall:) and I'm very worried about Rhys getting it cos if he does and gets dehydrated he'll end up in hospital on a drip which will play havoc with his kidneys

Anyway, I feel better after just a few hours peace, OH never turned out to be ill at all and has gone to work feeling fine and Rhys is still sparko between pillows on our bed My mum had someone visiting this morning but will come into town at lunchtime to check on us..

Hope the other poorlies are getting better xx

Not a clue - I had to google to even check what you were on about!

Elle, sending huge hugs your way. We seem to have escaped all the seasonal illnesses so far. I did have an upset stomach (food related) last night, but Marley took care of me & Andrew for a few hours, and now I'm right as rain. Andrew is snoozing in a little nest I've made on the sofa so that he's next to me while I'm on here.

Torkijo, Bum Genius tend not to last longer than one kid, IYSWIM. The waterproofing can become less effective through multiple washings.

Better to sell the inserts by themselves, I think

Morning all and hello to new people

Poor Molly's all snotty and coughy this morning - my idiot brother has been coughing freely all around the house and now she's got it. !!!!!!. Anyway, all our stuff is very nearly packed up, I'm about to start emailing mattress companies to see if we can get a super king mattress delivered (the Germans don't believe that beds should be big enough to sleep sideways!) and the small bag is packed for our indulgent trip to Chester. Just need to rescue my delicate vintage dresses from the case (needed to be sure they fit) and hang them for packing again, move stuff up to the loft/search out anything that's left up there, and collect half a shelf of books. It's all coming together!!!

Glam, I don't know if you saw my I've-no-time-to-meet-you post, sorry

Elle, I hope you feel better and that Rhys doesn't get it - just wash your hands a lot, I guess that's the best you can do. I'm sure your supply will be fine once he gets back into the swing of feeding

Cuddles for Caitlyn and all the other sick babies. Fairy post was dispatched yesterday so should arrive today or tomorrow.

:eek: at those rollerskating babies.

I'll probably be back on but if I'm not then talk tomorrow and I'm off to the spa!!

Morning all,

Holly was stirring so I got up and realised the heating hadn’t been on. Asked DH to look after H whilst I put the it on and got her bottle ready. Came back to find her under the covers in our bed and sleeping soundly! So decided to take 10 mins to grab something to eat as I am starving. Not sure Pringles are a healthy start to the day mind you.

Todays plan is to go and buy a crib for Holly. She is too big for her Moses basket, but her room is far too cold to put her in the cot bed just now, and to be honest I would prefer not to. I hope a crib won’t be too small for her just yet. Even if we get a few weeks out of, until this cold spell passes (it was still snowing here yesterday, and the nursery was 12 degrees this morning), it would be worth it. I just feel so sorry for her not being able to spread out.

How long did everyone else keep their babies in their room for and what were they sleeping in ?

SS – hope you have a lovely time in Chester. We are planning a couple of days away in Jan/Feb and thinking about Chester.

Elle – hope you feel better soon. OH and I both had D&V in December along with all 3 of us having the cold. It wasn’t pleasant but didn’t last too long.

Really bad night with Henry again...He keeps having nightmares I think and then wouldnt go to sleep at all... I cant go anywhere near him ..I guess this is because I am spending so much time with William?

dread to think what will happen when OH goes back to work next week!!

Off to spend day with big sister and her kids doing something but not sure what as drizzling here plus HV coming at 1.30pm.... what a crap time to call!!!

hugs to those with bad nights and fussy babies! MIL arriving any minute now, so will have to catch up later. SM, I hope you found some clothes for poor Zoe. Also major hugs for Elle and hope you feel better today.

Morning everyone!! I am having a quick catch up before the health visitor comes at 10ish, then me and Toby have our 6 week check at 11.10... busy morning!!

Sorry to hear ur not well Elle, dont beat urself up about getting frustrated, I always think its the fact we regret it and feel bad about it after that counts IYSWIM!!

Well Toby stayed upstairs all last night. He woke at 8.40pm and I was pretty much feeding him from then until 11.10pm. He was then up every 1-2 hours through the night but most were nice quick feeds and he went straight back down in his basket afterwards, so that wasnt too bad. However when he woke at 5.30am, he fed for 12 mins but was wide awake and wouldnt settle in his basket, so I bought him into my bed (oops!!) and snoozed with him in there until this morning. I think I need to tweak his routine and body clock to get him to want to sleep that bit longer through the night, or maybe I am hoping for too much in these early days!! xx

Hi all,

I'm back! Had a good christmas but spent from Christmas eve right til boxing day evening feeling rough but was still nice to see our families. Although most of them have all gone down with the sickness/dia woo woo bug oops!! (I feel fine now though....)

I got a wii fit plus for christmas which I'm going to get plenty of use out of and be mega slim for next christmas! Also got the Just Dance game for the Wii which is really good as well from DS1 & 2 with a little note on it from them to say thank you for looking after them during the year even when they are naughty and not to tell them off for using daddy's credit card! I sobbed and then set off all my family as well!

Elle if you need any help let me know and I'll do what I can, even if you want me to keep an eye on Rhys so you can get some sleep.

Hope everyone else is starting to feel better in time for new yr- although I'll be wrapped up in bed fast asleep! Until my boys understand they can lie in bed for extra sleep in the mornings I won't be up late!

Just checking before I start ebaying does any one want any of the bits below (can't afford to give them away I'm afraid as I'm not working so need every penny I can scrape together! Hopefully can later on when our finances are a bit more stable)

Mamas & Papas bouncer from Argos
Medula Swing electic breastpump with 3 bottles/2 teats
Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature manual breast pump
Breast feeding bras 40Jx2 38Hx1 all Royce (i think its that way round lol) I have used them for the last 7 months so aren't in brand new condition anymore but plenty of life left.
