elle-gee- make sure you make time just to have a bit of a sit down and a cuppa while you are baby free!

Ladybird- Me and DD have woken up all bunged up with a sore throat too- rubbish! If someone has a cure send it this way too

I wanted a HB with DD, but unfortunately didn't turn out that way after a very long labour, this time round I am planning a homebirth again, but plan on ringing the MW at the last minute as last time I felt I rung them before I felt I needed them, purely as I was thinking I should give them notice so they could arrange to come out to me, I will be much more selfish this time

Hiya ladies havent been on here for a while always seem to get lost on this thread as it moves so quickly but thought i would have another go :-)

Cold cure: not sure if its a cure but it always seems to help me warm lemonade i dont know how it works but alot of people in the black country swear by it and it deffinately seems to do something to help :-)

Glam if you figure out how to keep him asleep let me know joey is the same wakes at least 3 times a night. I've been thinking of putting him in his brother room see if the change of scenery helps at all :-)

He's been in his own room over a week & that didnt help!
6 weeks of waking now after a blissful 6 weeks of sleeping through!

Morning all,
I also need to price up helium balloons. I need to order some for C's Christening. I looked online as was going to do them myself but apparently latex ones only last 7 hours unless you buy more expensive stuff to put in them. Foil ones last longer so I'll prob have to get those, even though I wanted latex.

If you are doing the balloons yourself then just put some made up wallpaper paste into the balloon first, rub it around the inside of the balloon and then add helium simples..

Hey, none of that from you! You're coming with me to make sure Sami's not a builder called Dave! And to see if we can convince Charlie that Edgar is not called Rhys/Reece

Had really bad night with Reece last night so I'm blaming you after asking about his sleeping! In a foul mood with two little monsters and above really made me chuckle, thanks

Ah and AF (not anglefairy!) has arrived for the first time since Reece was born and I've got belly ache and theres cold RR in the fridge.... will it last til DH comes home from work?

Hi xmaslolly, we have a little system going so people's important stuff doesn't get lost .

ie: baby monitors, does anyone have any experience of the breathing detector ones that clip to the waistband of the nappy?


we put it in bold if we want an answer!

PS that is a genuine question of mine, as well as an example for Lolly

For us it was, our house, our rules. Our smells familiar things, food, equipment. Just so, so different.

I hope that makes some sense!

Exactly. (And yes it does.)

I find warm lemonade with a spoon of honey and a shot of Jack Daniels helps, but maybe not at this time of the morning!

We were offered one when I was having V by a friend of OH. But we declined after the friend said it was the worst thing they ever got as it went off a lot, and he and his partner would sit up at night waiting for it to go off for no reason.

Morning all.

Not been back for a while but K is asleep for a minute so thought I would say 'Hi'.

She had her first taster session at nursery on Monday since my KIT days start in under 2 weeks, but I don't think she was very keen on the noise of the other children, she cried most of the time we were there. She goes again for an hour friday afternoon and this time I'm leaving her on her own for the hour. Can't really understand it as it's not like my house is all that quiet, the parrot, me and the tv all at the same time, plus I never make any effort to be quiet unless she is asleep and in desperate need of it. However the parrot is not nearly so considerate and she doesn't even flinch at him.

Highchair has arrived and parents are coming today to visit so hoping for some help putting it together and someone to take photos whilst I give Kezia her first 'proper' food of puree'd apple and pear.

She is starting to wake up early now, which is sort of good since I need her up to get ready for nursery by 8am but I am missing the 3 hour window I used to get to do the housework. My house is a tip, parents are coming at 1 and got boobie club in between. And I so need to hoover but Kezia is asleep slap bang in the middle of the living room floor. Poor kid, got her mothers sense of timing!!!

Hope you are all well and babies are behaving.

Tara, been thinking of you and your family. Massive hugs to you all.
