Well done Aimee!

:eek: Jenny, fainting is simply a sign that there is insufficient blood going to the head, so if he's been lying still for a while and is under the weather it's unsurprising that his BP was low - but he should still get himself checked over by a doctor, any loss of consciousness should be checked.

I'm glad you and Finn had a good night Aless

How are all the sickie babies this morning? I have a snotty nose again and feel a bit achy but I'll be a good mummy and get on with things. More householdy stuff today, kitchen organising and also the computer room.

It's ok MFD, you and I do stuff differently and that's ok too
(but they weren't nails, they were the drawing pin type only massive)

Everyone had a good night last night and I'm the first one up! Cup of tea and some toast is in order, I think.

GRR OH is in the bad books with me this morning, we went to bed at 11pm (Elliot had a feed just before then) E woke up at 3.30 and I fed him, then E woke at 6am for a feed, so I woke OH to feed him, so he did, but he whinged the whole time, then was cursing at E cos he was crying (with wind) and I was saying to him, just hang on there its not his fault.

Then he got E to sleep but he woke up again at 7am, didnt want his dummy or food, and OH shouts from the bed "for !!!!s sake beany shut up" and I got so !!!!ed off (protective of E) that I stormed out of the room with E and his moses basket shouting at OH then slammed the door

Turns out all E wanted was a cuddle, I cuddled him for like 10 mins then he fell asleep on me so I put him back in his basket.

OH just really !!!!ed me off, yes your tired, yes its a pain in the !!! being woke in the middle of the night and yes its crap when all E does is cry, but guess what he is a baby! Thats all he can do for now! Its his only way of telling us something is wrong!

So Ive been on the sofa since 7am and am tired now lol

Morning all!

Glad Fin and Alfie both had good nights. We were up at 2, which isn't my favourite but there you go. I think the heating clicked in and woke him up.

No real plans today, although it might involve a roadtrip to pick up some floor tiles which our local Homebase have sold out of. I might try for a nap as o haven't managed one for months. I also want to go for a swim.

Aww (((hugs))) Kindof. When is your OH going back to work? Will he expect you to do all of the getting up in the night when he does? It probably doesn't feel like it at the time but only waking at 3.30, 6 then 7 really isn't bad at all for a 3 week old baby!

Becles

Sorry I never got back on here yesterday. Didn't get back till after 7pm and I had to get Charlotte showered and into bed as she was tired and twisty! Then Craig's website had crashed while I was out and we had work to do getting that sorted out.

Yesterday wasn't too bad - it had it's moments but I coped. Thanks for all the kind wishes

They took all the bairns to the play park after lunch and I didn't go as I had the dogs with me and they wanted walking. I can't let them off the leads at the play park as there are too many other children there and it's close to the shops and a road, so I took them to a grassy bit where they could run safely. My Dad came with me and we had a lovely chat and I really enjoyed spending time with just him.

He still has his graduation gown and hood from his studies at the Open Uni before I was born. He said he is going to look it out for me because I want to wear it when I graduate. My Grandma (his Mam) bought it for him and insisted he had to keep it as he was the first person in the family to get a degree and she was so proud - everyone knew about it Be nice wearing something with history rather than just hiring one.

Morning

Watched a flm last night and K woke up about 15 million times while we were watching it! Thankfully by the time we went to bed he was sound asleep, but I went to bed far to late 1.30am and at 6.45 he was screaming again? He is currently sat in his highchair refusing to eat his cereal and is instead tipping it out the bowl and squashing it into the tray....I will win, cos he will stay there until he has actually eaten some, squashed or not;) I am absolutely shattered and really can't wait for dh to get up so I can go back to bed.

((hugs)) kindof, sounds like many nights(and days) we have had in this house especially back when ds1 and then 2 were babies. Dh seems to be much more tolerant of ds3 and i'm sure he will be of baby 4 too, but I know he is an absolute !!!! at night so I have always done the nght feeds..saves arguments, actually I always end up doing most things for a quiet life....

Grrrr the kids are driving me mad, chocolate will be banished to the cupboard if they keep up like this!

Becles - Sounds like you had a nice day, how fantastic of your dad to be the first to get a degree too....I wonder if that has made a difference to the fact that you and your brother have also both pursued a degree? How absolutely wonderful of him to look out his gown for you to wear, like you say, so much more special than just hiring/buying

SugarSpun

Hugs kindof - it sounds like E is doing well and your OH has still to adjust to the effects of never getting a full night's sleep.

I'm glad it went well Becles, and that's lovely about your gown and hood. I hired mine and it was blatantly made for a very short prop forward - I had to pin it to my shoulders and the inside edges were almost at my shoulder seams :rotfl:

I'm thinking of buying a Wii and Wii Fit board thingy. Are they good, and is £130 a good price for both (on eBay)?

Thats a really good price

When I bought mine (I bought them as they were released so full price) the wii was £179.99 and the wii fit was £80

I watch a tv show called The Biggest Loser and I bought the wii game, well I got it for christmas, and I am planning on starting on when I go to Slimming World after my six week check up but it got really good reviews on the net.

Aless - I love cider lol and I'm not a chav LOVE Bulmers Apple

SJ I know, thats what I thought too! he only woke twice in the middle of the night which is totally amazing, Ive no idea what his problem was last night, he is still in bed so we shall see what he says when he wakes up, I am not sure if he expects me to do all the night feeds, probably, which I might be ok doing, but come weekends I might make him do them all lol

Red - I can see that being me as well, otherwise when he does feed E in the night, he sits on my side of the bed, more often than not nearly sitting on me! and I can never sleep through when he is feeding E so I may as well do it myself! grr lol

Well not much is going to get done today, my friend from work is coming over to see E, and then we are off to in laws for a photo shoot lol, they want to take photos of us all four generations of us, not really looking forward to that at all, I hate my photo taken, they could at least have given me a chance to get my pregnancy weight off and get my hair done etc *sigh*

It happens to the best of us...we all lose our cool at one moment or another. DH can sometimes be a great gem at night but other times he's an absolute ogre. Some days I'm full of patience when Finn is whingy & fussy, but other days I just want to shout at him and cry when he refuses to nap .

Becles, that's so lovely that your dad wanted to share his graduation robes with you!

GAH. Have just realised that I wanted to take a shower, but the laundry just got put on. D'oh! Guess I'll just be stinky for a little while longer.

It certainly does! I had a major meltdown yesterday when H wouldn't stop screaming and I broke the tumble dryer door! It was just all too much for me and I had to lie down for half an hour and cry it out. I think sometimes it just breaks you. I was fine straight afterwards, and it didn't mean I loved H any less or would have done anything that might have hurt him. I was just frustrated.

FWIW H is nearly five months and OH has only done one night feed. He will get up with LO in the morning though so I can have an extra hour in bed which does make a huge difference.

Becles- glad you had a good day and that is lovely that your Dad wants you to wear his gown.

Just nomming my SW cooked breakfast of beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and one sllice of toast. It is most yummy and will hopefully keep me full up.
