Morning
How is everyone? Thought i'd pop in to say hello. Has everyone had a good Easter?

Morning ladies,
Isla was awake and doing her milk shuffle across the bed so I latched her on to feed then checked the time, 3.30am :eek: I wish these teeth that are bothering her would break through and stop disturbing her sleep, she's been a misery guts all weekend and the waking's in the night are getting earlier and earlier. You can see the teeth bulging across her gums
Becles that bath sounds lovely! Hope the tap's easily sorted though.
Glam - Jack & Isla are obviously conspiring against us. We may have to ban them from seeing each other :rotfl:
Koag - it does get easier, I look back at the first few weeks after Isla was born and it's a blur. All of a sudden you realise 'hey, we're moving forward' and it doesn't feel such a struggle. The tiredness, worrying about baby feeding, sleeping etc does ease off. And don't worry about cancelling visitor's. If your not feeling upto it, tell them no. You've only recently given birth, your allowed to call the shot's

Tara ((((Huge Hugs)))). I really hope you can convince him to stay. As Sami said, could social services do anything? It's my worst nightmare.

My baby appears to have 'the bug' again.
She woke at 11ish, and seemed really thirsty. She drank a full TT sippy cup of water, then was sick two minutes later. Then cried for more water, was sick again, and so on all night! Along with the smelly sulphor type pumps and diarwoowoo.
She's had a cup of water this morning with dioralyte (sp) in it, and has kept it down for an hour now. (Fingers are crossed!).
I might try some toast and water when she wakes up. I don't want to risk milk just yet.
I'm soooo tired!:beer:0 -
ooh Kian had a good nights sleep. woke from his marathon nap about 9.15pm. had his bottle and we sat him on the couch chatting to hom and he played with one of his toys. we went to bed bout 10.30pm and he slept till 5.30am, gave him soother and i got another hour sleep. bottle at 6.30 and then he slept till just before 8am. me and DH were awake before him lol!!
just had another good breakfast, missed dinner last night as he had fallen asleep so trying again today.
glam- Kian throws himself around in his learn and groove. he tilted it so much yesterday in the garden that we had to take him out of it. i was hoping to get till he was 1 but its not looking that way

Hello lovelies! I've been MIA while we've had our new kitchen done. It's getting there, although there is still a lot to do :eek:.
Kindof- I totally agree with Henry's MIL (Boo!) that you need to call the shots in who visits you, what you do etc and if that means you just stay in and nap as much as you can to catch up on your sleep then that's okay. Don't feel bad about it, you have a teeny tiny baby so you can do what you like. Also please make time to see the HV. I know a lot of people on here don't rate them, but I am lucky enough to have an awesome, common-sense one so they do exist. Also just to add that H definitely picks up on when I am stressed and will not settle. It's a vicious circle, as of course I get more fraught and he gets more screamy! Nightmare, but the best thing you can do is try and take a few moments and breath deeply.
Boo- Henry is the same with his sleeping at the moment. We have some nights where he does 7-6 then some nights like last night where he wakes up a few times. I think it is his teeth as we have the rosy cheeks and dribble, but I can't see anything.
Off to baby clinic today for the first time in 6 weeks! Interesting to see what my chunk has put on.:DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator

Thankyou
He's really mastered his sitting now, he seems much happier for it 
;))
as Rhys is a master sitter now I give it a week or 2 before he crawls for the physio then sits down and gives her the finger :cool:
Ed now sits up when he wakes so I'm greeted my his cute lil face (crying) in stead of just a crying crib in the morning, which is nice
