  • Good luck today Beenie.

    Have officially ran out of steam. Lots of waking and screaming again last night. Can't take it anymore. Not much sleep and work next day is not good.:(

    a bit quiet this morning! No insomniac weezl to amuse us? ;) just feeding Finn so posting from phone. Have to go have lunch with the entirety of DH's family late, which i'm soooooooo looking forward to.

    I feel selfish but i find it mega annoying that they now want to see us all the freaking time. Used to get to them maybe every two months and now it's at least every two weeks! I don't HATE them, they just grate on my nerves. Today i find especially annoying as i'm still trying hard to get finn's naps sorted out - an uphill battle - and this lunch is going to screw today up for that. Sorry, end rant!

    Same here, except mine expect me to cook for them when they visit!

    Henry is a real hand sucker too- he makes his fingers all red and sore but he won't take a dummy. Maybe he needs a Sophie.


    Well, after a hellish evening where H wouldn't go down till 10 he slept till 6am, then went back down till 8am :T. Hubby let me lie in till 9 so I feel human.

    Had my first session at the gym today and my BMI is obese :(. Bit disappointing as I'm only a size 14, but onwards and upwards! I know BMI isn't a very reliable measurement, but I was a bit shocked.

  • Have a ((hug)) Beenie... I've been where you are hun, I hope the situation turns out for the best... Whichever way that will be :)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I wouldn't wish a baby ill but it would be quite funny if the first time Amber met her father she covered him in sick :o;)

    Same here. I had to have the GTT when i was pregnant due to my obsesity :cool:.

    My BMI is 31. I thought 14 was the UK average anyway.

    Maz, Amber is always shoving her hands in her mouth too, i meant to say that last time you mentioned it. Early teething had crossed my mind too but if i offer the dummy she takes it straight away so seems to just want to be sucky

    William wont take a dummy either , he sucks it about 3 times and then it pops out...have tried about 5 different types...think he is a bit young for a sophie at the mo.

    Just had to get some 3-6 months sleepsuits out to rinse through...he seems to hate it when I put the 0-3 month ones on so I have to leave a couple of the poppers undone otherwise he goes mental!

    Ooh is it! I meant more in the sense that there's a lot of obese people in that case! Although i know not every 16 will have a BMI over 30.

    He just rang to see he's at the station, the one down there. *sigh*. It takes 2 hours so i said i'll be at home or docs you'll have to look for us i'm not picking him up.

    I'm in a mood today cos its the last Wednesday I get to spend with my boy, cos as of next week I'll be working every Wednesday as well. Am finding it very hard to not bite OH's head off that because of his maintenance payments Seth needs to spend another day at the CM in order for us to get by :o I know its a horrible thing to say, but I cant help thinking it :o

    Aless it's totally ok for you to set the time of your meetings if you need to - say you want to meet earlier because you'll need to leave at xx time to get Finn down for his nap.
    Seconded. We used to tell ILs the times that Alice would be available when she was very small. (We did say they were welcome to visit outside those times but just that they wouldn't see Alice because she would be sleeping or I would be upstairs feeding her.)

    Susan i got your PM and we're on :D I told ex that if he was coming, to be aware that i'm out tomorrow afternoon, he said where you going? I said 'i'm meeting someone' and i could almost see the paranoia/jealousy coming out of the phone :rotfl:.
    Excellent and :rotfl:
