that sounds like a routine to me

TBH, there is no 'normal' with babies. I never followed a strict one and Kian has got himself into one.

As long as you are happy and LO is happy I see no point in changing anything.


Books are all well and good but I have yet to find one that met all my needs so havent bothered with them and more or less done my own thing.

Glad to read this, as it was starting to drive me bonkers. He seems happy so far, just a bit grouchy at times but I guess that is 'normal' LOL.
He also sleeps fine, so far, at night. Till about 7am most days. Fingers crossed that doesn't change. Think I will burn the books, they just make me feel like I'm not doing stuff right and doing things wrong.
Thanks again.

Kinda over the moon.. Of course I am because he's getting better and because he won't have to have the jab every week now, plus means no more weekly visit from the nurses, but it means I'm going to have to go down to the weighing clinic myself.. in a MORNING! :eek:

get yourself into a nice routine before you have to go back to work, it will do you good



LOL I'm with you MM! Anyway, never mind 300m, down the stairs nearly did away with you! (jk!) :cool: Our children's centre is about a mile away and there's no way I'm walking it! :whistle:

the one i went to on wed, is 1.4 miles each way and i walked it. no problems and the other one is 1 mile from me. Its cheaper to walk and better for me

Rhys is having a right stroppy weekend so far :cool: It started the second OH walked through the door after work yesterday and he's (R) been stroppy with him (OH) ever since He's fine with me but I need to get on and do stuff (sorting clothes and putting them away again, mostly!).

Did I mention he's stopped staring at his hand too? That dragged on for months! :cool:

no prob. thats the best thing about being on here there's always someone around who can help. sleeping though at 12 weeks is fab!! K does most nights but sometimes wakes up..i have been giving him a bottle but last night tried a soother and he went back aslep. although if he wants a bottle the soother only works for about 30secs.

we're still only in bit of a routine but i do want to myself into a routine with the h/work etc as at the moment as soon as K is asleep, i come online but i need to do more round the house as when i do go back to work, i want to have as much time with K rather than doing all housework (especially ironing cos i hate ironing)

i live up a steep hill if we dont have loads of shopping or zoe with us we walk back from town .. that burns some cals :rotfl:x

Ha, exercise is bad for my health then - can't risk losing anymore weight! *rolleyes*

Besides, I'm never on time when I drive somewhere, I don't have a hope of getting there before anything finishes if I walked it! :whistle:

Jillie - I know Weezl has already answered your question but just wanted to share what my dentist said too. She said they won't actually check babies' teeth until they are 18 months-2 years but to take them every time we go so they get used to it.

Elle - yay to meds news!!!

DKAM - I'm glad things seem to be on the up for you. Keep in touch with us all

SM - can you post the recipe for your raisin and marshmallow things please? They sound lovely.

MM - hope your knee and tummy are OK. Have a great time tonight. I don't do any exercise at all, so the (very small amount of) walking I do is my exercise. The 2 miles we walked today weren't too bad as DH and I were talking about the future, etc. Planning to do four miles on Monday. Although, not all in one go and 2 miles of that will be with a friend.

There seem to be a lot of people aiming for summer 2011 babies. We're looking at that too. I wonder if MOTM and Lucy will be joining us

Something to amuse you all...
So far, we haven't given Caitlin any food from jars, she's just had HM stuff for meals, but we've been given some from various people and got a few samples, so I said to DH that we should start giving them to her as some of them are 4 months+ and won't be suitable soon.

So, we duly give her 1/2 jar of a chicken thing for lunch and she gobbled it down....way better than she does any of my HM stuff :mad:. I'm hoping it's a sign that she's getting better and wanting to eat more, but I'm not so sure
