Its started to snow again here and im not impressed lol
thanks susan i might go back but im a wimp lol!
AF have *hugs* i really dont know what to say but your a great mummy and im sure LO appriciates everything you do for her x

3 when i was younger i started to get migrains, i would have flashing lights and loose my sight, i had to make myself sick to get it to lift and would sleep for 12 hours +. we were told its a hormone thing in girls and that most people grow out of it, there is a regular medication she can get if it does become regular. i hope it is a one off though!

Feelie Lovely pic.

Beenie Did you get the instruction DVD with the freedom sling? Is it the pouch one? If you search ebay for it, the original seller is still on there with lots of photos of babies in them - tbh the do look a bit squished, but apparently its comfy for them.

AF ((Hugs)). I went back to work full time after my first two and remember hating it. I just kept my head down, did my job and ignored all the office politics. Is looking for the same job with a different company (different staff) an option? Maybe a happier workplace and a new challenge would help you? (Sorry, I can't remember if you've said what you do?)
I'm sure you've already considered all the options - but is part time an option? Even one day less might help?

Nooo - I don't want my little girl to get hormones.

I'll have to ask my mum when my migraines started, I assumed it was a the same time as periods (13) as they're hormone related.

Mine have got less (hopefully) with age, it used to be two days every month. Now, fingers crossed its one every 6 months. Yours sound very similar - nothing helps except being sick, or sleeping.

Hi SM thank you for the kick up the bum x Hi Glam thank you for sending your best wishes. Feelie, I am so glad you and Toby enjoyed Nanny time.x

Hi to everyone else, I do keep up (just struggle to communicate) .
Oscar is nearly 6 months old and a joy to have (most of the time). He has 2 teeth ( and I have ordered a Sophie on all your reccommendations) and seems to be hitting most milstones.

While i'm here and hogging the thread anyway, i have a question.

Has anyone, or anyones naughty OH been on a Driving Course after a speeding fine?
I've been offered one; the choice is 3 points and a £60 fine, or attend this half day driving course for £88 and get no points.
I'm just curious as I don't know anyone who's been on one.

Aless, yeah she does fuss/grunt but that's when i shove the dummy in and hope for the best because by that point my eyelids are trying to knit together :rotfl:

When i put her down last night she was all wide open eyes and kicking around, so i tucked her blankets in tight so she couldn't move much (lol) and turned the lights off, held the dummy in, she fell asleep within 15 mins. She was whiney all evening again before that though.

I didn't get a dvd but i'm assuming the youtube stuff was similar, if not the same. She doesn't look comfy and cries I'll keep trying though.

TBH, I think all babies looked squished in pouch slings...give it a few tries to get her used to it and she might find she likes it

SM, after my dad leaves on Saturday, I am deffo joining your BWSC. This extra skin around my middle is not fun (and even though I weigh exactly the same as when I got pregnant, my clothes deffo don't fit the same!)...

I'm like that - I'm more or less the same weight as before but a different shape so bigger round waist and chest and smaller on the fingers (which means I can't wear my wedding and engagement ring except in the summer when it's hot).

Anyway,

Forum will be closed from 23:59 on Thurs to 09:00 on Fri,

I wondered why there were so few pages to catch up when I'd slept in.

And Weezl of course!

Is Weezl Welsh? I thought she just lived in Wales?

Why is it when Rose wakes up at 4am, MSE is shut for the night??

Alice was awake at four too although I didn't think of going on MSE. OH brought her into our bed but after an hour he put her back because she kept moving around and keeping us awake and wouldn't just lie down quietly to go to sleep.

Hope Charlotte is ok as she hates drills and cries when I use one.

She may be okay if it's someone else doing it rather than you as you won't be unavailable due to drilling.

i am really really struggling being back at work. i love what i do, but there is so much going on in the company that staff moral is at an all time low (people leaving/penny pinching/hours being cut etc). also, having to deal with colleagues moods (and in turn being offish until they need you do to something for them).

i just can't get passed having to deal with all that rubbish and that it means i dont get to see my daughter all day.

:grouphug: I can't imagine how hard it must be to have to leave your child to go to work every day even if you enjoyed it.

I actually caught up last night but i ended up getting sidetracked. i.e when Susan posted about that baby hoax, i googled it and ended up reading about that for ages, and the blogs started to lead me to other blogs and before i knew it the forums were closed :rotfl:

I have that problem too - it's so easy to get caught in a rabbit warren.

So thanks to the lovely fairies, i am the proud owner of a freedom sling pouch and i can't do it . I can't get her to look comfy in it, i've looked at some vids on youtube and googled for instructions but i still feel like she's gonna fall out, or if not, her head is squished... I'm a nugget, cos i haven't used it outside yet i've just been practising at home... There must be a knack to it

We found we took a while to get used to our (wrap) sling. If you keep practising it should get easier.

Still catching up, but going to say that I hate you Beenie ...Finn was actually pretty good last night, but when I put him down after his 2am feed we then went into this weird thing where I couldn't tell if he was asleep or awake in his basket as he kept making these really weird squeaking/grunting noises and moving around. He usually does these noises when he's waking up or about to cry, but he did them for 1.5 hours!! So great he didn't cry, but also I didn't sleep as they were so loud they kept me awake - and I'm not sure whether he was asleep or awake either! Anyone else's baby do/done this? I admit I felt like I was going mad as desperately just wanted to sleep...

Alice used to be quite noisy in her sleep. She would make loads of noises and sometimes spent an hour or two sounding like she was about to wake up before she actually did. (This was one reason why we put her in her own room but obviously that is not recommended.)

A friend of mine did it and said it was fine and actually quite useful. She's still a super speedy driver though - and she met her husband there :rotfl:
