    He is cloth bummed and bottle fed (formula and ebm) and he is our first :D

    He has a lovely sleep routine atm- he wakes for food at 1 and 4- dh has a bit of a rough time with him from 10-12 though.

    So... hello :beer:

    Hello and congrats :jWelcome to the mad house :D

    It's snowing again here. We found snowdrops in the woods the other day and some buds on some shrubs, so I was hoping that was a sign it was warming up. Maybe not!
    Here I go again on my own....

    Morning all. Glad MM and Tara are having fun :)

    Mel my DH does that too - promisses me a lie in but I never get one. Ho hum. Lie in till almost 7am this morning. Woohoo!

    Poo isn't it:mad: Then again it is usually more peaceful without him down here anyway:p

    Hi KT congratulations! :j:j

    We've just had breakfast - goin to try Caitlyn on a bottle of Aptimil to see if she really doesn't like it or whether she was just being stubborn for the CM!

    SM I'm hoping the fairies will be flying today, but they have a heavyish load to carry so it may take them until about Tuesday/Wednesday :)

    Right off to look at the Tesco DVD loophole........

    Hi KT :) sounds like a good first week! It'll change before you know it but usually in good ways, honest ;)

    Morning all
    After Thu night and Fri's hideousness, I had to spend about 2 hours talking OH into going to bed (nausea felt worse lying down and she really has a phobia thing about vomiting - she was absolutely terrified of a repeat performance, and a bit feverish too) but when I eventually succeeded, all 3 of us slept like logs from midnight til 7am :)
    This morning E has a very wet sounding cough and lots of snot but no signs of vomit so fingers crossed. He is off his food but still had mad activity levels - if you lot have a ballerina and a rock climber, I think I have a mosher... his recent favourite thing is to drag you by the fingers and shove your knees shouting MOAH! MOAH! UP! until you go into his nursery and lift him into his cot. Then he wildly flails and spins in circles bouncing off the sides and falling over again and again and cackling like a madman, during which you must watch him. Any attempts to sneak out are met with piercing screams and pointing fingers of accusation! Just the way to start the morning :p

    Hope people got some good sleep! Sounds like Tara and MM had fun :)

Well what did he expect when I went to bed at 11.30 with William, awake at 1.00 for bottle, Henry awake at 2 and then up at 5.30 (convinced him to go back to bed) and then both of them up at 6.30!!!!! grrr men :mad:

    hello! Finn had his jabbies yesterday, so I expected a very rocky night. All in all, he was very unsettled in the evening but once he finally conked out, he was fine! Huzzah.

    jenny - what's this mythical class by Lambeth council? HMPH, I haven't heard a peep! Of course, Erin's like 2 months older than Finn so maybe there's still time for us :P. Do you know of any baby massage in the area? My HVs are useless!!

    Welcome KT!

    I've made a new mommy friend from Netmums that had her baby on Sunday and got to visit her yesterday - OMG, I've already forgotten how tiny they are!! It's crazy, I still feel like I have a fresh newborn baby, but he's already so massive after just 9 weeks.

    I'm also in the market for a cot, as Finn is quickly reaching the top of his Moses basket :eek:. But it'll be eBay local for me all the way...I think then we will assemble a 'proper' nursery for him finally...he's already sleeping in the other room.
    top 2013 wins: iPad, £50 dental care, £50 sportswear, £50 Nectar GC, £300 B&Q GC; jewellery, Bumbo, 12xPringles, 2xDiesel EDT, £25 Morrisons, £50 Loch Fyne

    would like to win a holiday, please!!
    :xmassmile Mummy to Finn - 12/09; Micah - 08/12! :j

    Have been awake since 5.45am :( cats decided to run around and attempt to dig to Australia in the litter tray, and then Seth woke up hungry and refused to go back down again. Lush!

    He has decided that his favourite thing to do this morning is crawl while sliding his hands around on DVD cases shouting to the whole of the street about it!

    It's a running joke with me and OH that everything I find out is from MSE either directly or indirectly.

    We had the same kind of trouble trying to get people to do stuff on the house before we moved in - most don't even bother getting back to you when you phone.

    Our snows gone today :( but yesterday it started snowing while we were out and Alice's first response was, "I hadn't put my arrow on snowy." because she's got one of those calendar where you mark the day, date, weather etc.

    :j:jWelcome! Don't worry about keeping up with the thread if you don't have time, just dive right in - it's a chatty thread.

    If you have a particular question to ask, put it in bold so we see it and don't miss it :)

    Maz & Mel I'll join you YAWN!!! Bad night with Jack, he was really unsettled until I went to bed at 1am and then he was wide awake so I brought him into my bed and he slept til 7.30am. Problem is I never sleep very well cos he's usually cwtched in my arm!

    Bruno & Em - loving cute stories!

    Aless - Glad Finn was OK yesterday. I found it was usually a few days afterwards that it upset Jack more (sorry!!). HE would have jabs on a Wednesday and then usually from Friday/Saturday through to the Tuesday he was grouchy and woke in the night.

    Anyways, J's having a nap and OH & BIL are still in bed so now I've finished my brekkie I think I'll make a start on sorting out some more paperwork!
