Have you read baby whisperer ever? She says some quite interesting things about cry to sleep babies and how they release their over-stimulatedness that way.... Now what was she recommending... maybe swaddling or massage, I can't remember... Can dig it out if you fancy?

I cry to let out tension too! Me and ambertronic can have our own little weep to sleep club

Me three, and Molly four. I swaddle her, then stroke her head and whisper to her till she drops off. Husband swaddles her and leaves her. Both work.

We had some of that too. I like to console myself that it's because she's learned a lot today

Hi Carla, sorry to butt in but i have recently uploaded some camera video to fb. When i linked the camera to my computer to get the photos off, the vids came too, so on fb I just browsed to where I saved the vids, same as I would if uploading pix. Does that help?

GISI - Soz so slow but what a lovely pic of henry!! we havent got a bumbo, wonder if it would be worth getting now as henry looks so happy in there!! Does he stay in there for long? And is he pretty much holding his own head up now? xx

Plus everyday...washing machine 1-2 times, dishwasher once, breadmaker once, and our oven and hob are electric! And of course lately the heating (lots)

watch out for runny poos with the penicillin mel you can help his gut flora grow back to prevent dia-woo-wah by giving him live yoghurt with fruit puree in?

Yep, bump is big! I'm already stretch marking in previously unmarked areas! Oh boy! I am trying for a tummy map of the London underground (well button's MIL has a hot crossed tum, so I have to go one better!)

Good luck with the map making;) This is one thing I am a little concerned about as he already has watery poops at the moment anyway, so I am dreading it , although not sure they can get any runnier:o

I've spotted a little with tonsillitis - get well soon!

And to scare you, wanna know what my electric bill for Aug-Nov just came in at? £256! Because we were with Scottish power who after 2 years of arguing, passed us over to scottish gas who now have us on a stupidly high tarrif because we have 2 power lines (?) left over from when we had ancient electic heating. DH phoned and it has been put on hold because they are aware that it's not our fault and we will be getting money taken off it and the meter fixed, but still :mad:

And my kitchen tap is not working so no water in the kitchen at all, have to fill bottles up from the bathroom :mad:

Did you not discover the water problem?

And see above for my electric bill:o

Bruno; are you still here? If so, are your videos (which i LOVE LOVE LOVE) from a mobile or other recording device? If they are fro anything apart from a mobile, how do u upload it to facebook? I am struggling with my camera recorded videos!!
xx

Hi Carla

They're from digital camera. Once on hard drive, I go to my profile in FB, select 'Bewitched Portraits' (I keep FB in 'pirate English' mode I assume it's called Videos or something normally) and then 'Hoist' to upload, and it gives you a pop-up to browse your hard drive and select the video. Very straightforward!

yes re: hair grabbing!! finn has discovered the power of his hands over past few days and loves grabbing fistfuls of my never-got-around-to-getting-it-cut-so-it's-far-too-long hair as well. sorry will respond to thread properly when not 1 handed typing!

I'm glad you posted this! You say you are using a hairband, think you'd like this?:

I don't use it (I forgot when getting that and the necklace that I hate jewlery!) and will happily give it to the Faries to post if you'd like it.

Older babies are often really grabby - Toby likes to get a fist full of boob, or pinch my arm. A big, colourful beaded necklace can keep them entertained and give them something to fiddle with.

Ah, feelie. That is soo lovely of you. Thank you. Kezia is just starting to scratch and grab at me. Seems to like that nice delicate underside of both boob and arm at the mo. I think she just likes the noise of the sharp intake of breath and the muttering to stop myself screeching.

I'll pm you my address if you're absolutely sure. xxxx

Harley, my fairies found the post office today

Glam, Ambertronic still grabs my hair even when I have an interesting necklace on. She can have that in her hand and still grab a handfull of hair and laugh at me! Evil little robot baby!

Tia, sure I thanked you, god I meant to, maybe I didn't press submit, sure I typed it. Anyway, thank you. glad your fairies got to Post Office safely, been a bit concerned about how much snow you must have up there. I'm stuck in here but enjoying the excuse not to spend any money. xxxx

Mel, the problem is the tap. Dh came in, looked at it (with a hammer) and then the how water stopped too. But washing machine still works works so it must be the tap. It's ancient. Will get a new one.

Hmmm, wonder if the scottish gas boiler repair thing covers the kitchen tap?

Weezl - don't think I've mentioned it before but regarding your possible map tummy, have you tried the Clarins Stretch Mark Control Cream. Think it's fairly expensive but the nice counter lady gave me a free (full size) tube and it worked wonders. Not a stretch mark on my tummy at all.

What a shame I didn't use it on my thighs!!!!!!
