talking bout missing posts...i feel a bit invisible here sometimes
think as Kian is doing so well, we have no concerns with him, no real questions (though i'm sure as we get near weaning i will) i feel a bit of a fraud posting. i thought i would really miss posting and reading over christmas/new year and i didnt really. maybe that in itself is telling me something.

sorry to feel a bit out of sorts

we need to know about all the developments and problems, the proud things, the sad moments and everything else in between !!
I didnt post much over Christmas, and although I thought about everyone and how you were all getting on, I didnt miss not posting either. We all need a break from here sometimes, and its good for us, as I think things are taken the wrong way online.
I felt really bad after my rant last night, but I was tired and emotional and just really wanted someone to notice, so decided to play the poor me card At the time it seemed the right thing to do, but looking back now, I really didnt need to do that, I'm proud of my son, I do not need everyone to say well done for me to know that !!

Anyway, that very long winded response was really to say, we would miss you if you didnt come on

I wish there were something that could be done about the feelings some of us have on the thread. I don't feel ignored and I get loads of support, but I don't feel part of the group, or able to contribute. I feel bad for cluttering up the thread so avoid posting most of the time, and don't acknowledge things I should. I miss some who've left badly too. I'm sorry for not commenting on important things, or helping more.

Kian woke again at 4 but had his bottle (bout 2/3) and fell back asleep just waking as DH alarm went off. hope he gets back to sleeping all night as i was just getting used to it.

1) Kieren has woken the last 2 nights at 4am for a bottle after previously sleeping through. I'm going to put the heating on between 3-4am to see if this helps. Although I'm thinking growth spurt and getting close to weaning.

2) I never posted for about 10 days because I was pig sick of talking to myself on here.
There are a couple of reasons I have started posting again but the main one is I feel I have struck up a friendship with a couple of posters and would like to keep this up.
It would be nice if you hung around

£100 Jillie :eek:
Mine would still be getting reminded of it every time I was even a little annoyed :rotfl:

I don't know about CDs on ebay, sorry - but if you register you can do an advanced search of completed items of what you want to sell, which will show you how much/how well they sell for and that helps.

I'm sorry you feel invisible, but glad that it's because you're doing so well IYSWIM I like updates about Kian and all the other babies and bigger kids even though I can be a bit rubbish about remembering to say "ooh, I liked hearing that".

Ebay and I aren't getting on so well. The photo uploader is messing me around and the pictures just aren't uploading. On the plus side, I've found a place that does sphereing (Husband has taken a notion to do it, so I'm looking at it as a birthday present and moving his birthday presents to Christmas :rotfl:) and it's only a 40 minute drive from our favourite hotel in Chester :j Looking for closer lovely hotels now, but if all else fails I'm sold on that and I'll organise flights, hotel, rental car etc and spring it on him that I'm going to let him roll down a hill in a giant inflatable.

Edit: Big hugs for feelie because you're so supportive when I've whinged about BF - please don't feel left out And everyone else too - I normally just ignore people I don't like and I don't have to ignore anyone here - when I do it's accidental and I'm sorry

WM he's lovely looking. What gorgeous eyes!

Quick question, anyone used Lidls nappies, its only a 5 minute walk to the new Lidl one near me. Will pop out when OH gets home later. They are about £3 cheaper than pampers and as i'm desperately waiting for payday (2 weeks yet), so may give them a go, if reviews are favourable.

Thanks

I've not tried them but have seen them recommended (on the pg thread, I think).

You have loads to contribute Feelie, particularly on BFing. I have learned so much from you, Krystal and others on here. I'd be lost without people's useful advice and experience.

You're not invisible Jillie! When did Kian start sleeping through the night originally? Maybe a growth spurt making him more hungry at the mo?

I am so full of cold, it is horrid and I am bound to give it to LO. Hopefully the BF antibodies will make it a bit milder. My eyes and nose are streaming and I just want OH to come home so he can take over and I can nap.

he's just started draining 6oz so have moved him upto 7oz, and is doing welll with them. Poss growth spurt as he has suddenly got lot more active with his feet, banging them on thr floor when we are changing him or on his activity mat. and he's just started properly grabbing the toys when he's in his chair.

Hi Jillie

Hope your ear is better soon. I know what you mean about not having concerns etc. Much better that way though ifkwim. Have you been on your Wii Fit yet? I did about 15 mins yesterday! Wowwee! ha ha. Off to make lunch whilst H is on one of her power naps. She sleeps through the night, but I hardly get a minute during the day.

i know we are so lucky with Kian and we dont as yet have any concerns.
did the free stepping this morning. just set the speed and lengh of time and i step while watching This Morning, unfortunately (or just a the right time ) Kian woke up for a feed. did 25mins of stepping today so far. want to do a little more as that was 2000 steps.

thnaks mm, just feeling a bit lost at the moment. bruno, AF and aless were talking bout they/partners miss home and it struck a chord i guess. i may have only moved from Rep Ireland but i still left all my family and friends. It got me thinking that actually i dont have many friends at all. only 1 or 2 that i could turn to if i really, really wanted to. prob is if we moved back we'd have the same prob as we've all moved on so much in 10years.

OK, I've calmed down now and things are back on an even keel in the Choppy household. She didn't go back to sleep :rolleyes: but has had lunch (refused to sit in the highchair, so sat on my lap), had nappy change and is now sitting on the play mat trying to eat her toys.

Will read back now...

mm its a years worth .. and things change soon ... plus i had to admit a few bills i hadnt paid bite the bullet and call them x
