    Where are you going tomorrow? Is DS1 supposed to be going with you?
    pffrrt! but I need to see his presents mostly!

    strange we're talking about 1st b-days because Chris was looking at the photos of his today, he was so tiny and absolutely scrummily cute!! he was wearing PJs that Ed is currently fitting in nicely too, no way on earth they'll still fit on his 1st b-day!
    Ed had a really dry poop today that caused lots of trouble and has cut his botty :( I think he's finally 'empty' now after about 5 little ones then a big poop earlier so hopefully it'll heal before he needs to go again

    Kindof, don't take what I said about the bottles to heart btw, as I said, we didn't have much problems with wind, change of milk and infacol was enough to sort out our problems so I have no experience of the bottles. Hope they help! (then you can come on and say - told you so ner ner ner!)

    LOL ok (Although I wont say I told you so lol)

    Caz - No I was going to ring her today, well yes sorry I spoke to one at the weigh in clinic last week she just told me to give him cooled boiled water?

    Thats ok MDW

    Aless - Thanks for that I will look into it :)

    I'm dying to join Slimming World, sad I know, but I am sick of eating crap (I know I odnt have to join SW to stop that but ya know lol)

    Fitzio - LOL I am not going to ignore you and I dont think you are patronising :)

    Elliot sounds the same as Holly, he has no bother getting burps up and doesnt have reflux (the couple of times he's been sick is cos he's drank too much milk)

    I tried Infacol for well over a week, we are now onto the gripe water, if that doesnt work after a week I was gonna try the Colief (a few of you have mentioned it now) but I am still going to get the Anti colic Bottles today when boots opens cos I cant see how that could make anything worse if that makese sense lol

    He now gets warmed milk and he gets fed upright (thankfully with him being 11 pound already and a big baby he can hold his body really well)

    Thanks Sami :) mmm that jar looks nice :) OH likes just pasta and sauce (I have to have some form of meat in there though or I find it boring lol)

    Sami - I am and I'm not if that makes sense, I am more relaxed about it that OH (hence me being downstairs with elliot, I only came down here cos OH was getting very stressed and I only woke him for help at 4 lol I'd been at it on and off since 1)

    Like I say I am better at it when I am tired than OH is, but during the day when Elliots been crying i've managed half an hour of non stop screaming before I've gone to get OH to take over

    why did my child decide 5am was a good time to start the day? :eek:
    he drained a bottle at 6am so I suspect only having 2ozs of his bedtime bottle is to blame *rollseyes*

    just got OH tto put the item I need to return in the car for later but in the meantime I'm going back to bed! :cool:

    hugs kindof - it does getter better I promise :kisses3:

    Tara - hope you have a nice holiday and get something sorted out with your son *hugs*

    Kindof - there is light at the end of the tunnel even though it doesn't seem like it at the moment. How many toddlers do you know with colic?! It will get better, so just stay strong and try and get through these days as best you can. Charlotte had it for a few months, so I know how you feel *hugs*

    Busy weekend and got loads done. Feel more confident about uni now and we have a bath in the bathroom now. It's fab and I love it. It's deeper and wider than a normal bath and I lay in it fully clothed and it felt so comfy. Can't wait until we can use it.

    In typical fashion the hot tap is faulty :wall:Going to check it and see if it just needs a new washer. If not the bath with have to come out so we can take it off and return it.
    Here I go again on my own....
