he'd be fine, he has a normal single at mum's and been in that for nearly a year. Its just that we have too much crap that we've just been shoving in any available space for ages and not got round to sorting and we want to move Chris into the other room because it's bigger and a single will fit much better etc.
We're just totally lazy naughty parents

right I'm off to get the super cheap one, hope I can fit it in the car :undecided might be calling Glam to come help :rotfl:

oh and Chris saw the orthoptist today and was discharged :T he has better than average eyes

hmm, ikea cot works out £3 more than mothercare one
Ikea one is nicer IMO
I could go get ikea one now, MC one would be a few days delivery
ikea mattress isn't waterproof

HELP!

Can you get a waterproof sheet? Or undersheet?

I don't know why people's stupidity is always surprising to me. There are only so many meetings I can sit through without piping up and handing someone their backside, and today's knocked another off that number. :mad:

Still, it is acknowledged that I am excellent at my job and that is enough for now. Swimming with a friend this evening, I have the horrible feeling that despite having a baby three months after me, she is already in better shape than I am and will look better in her swimsuit.

I've just realised it's only 4 weeks til the Great Manchester Run, which I'm supposed to be running, and I haven't done any running since before i got pregnant. Hmmm, could be interesting.....

yay for chris! Spurred by the dummy convo, i just bought 2 more of the mam ones...and realised that the one he's been using is only marked to 2 months! Also randomly picked up a weaning cup...no idea why as i don't plan on starring til june (and he doesn't even take bottles in the 1st place!)

Ahh Glam. Have been there, especially when he was ill. Spent a good few nights in the spare bed with him. Was so worried that he would get used to it and hate his own bed. It is especially bad when you know you have to get up for work. And you'll do anything to get just that bit more sleep.

Also agree with Som about the sleeping bags. Alex definately knows its bedtime when he goes in his, and instantly calms. Now if we could just go to sleep all night and start eating more than mush and puree I would have the perfect baby.:D

ETA: And yes I so know I've definately blown it now.

I'll start using the spare bed when BIL leaves - means I get space but also I can put J far enough away from me so that he starts to think he's on his own.
Yea I use the sleeping bags but need to get some in 6-12month cos I only have 1 and it's 2.5tog. he knows its bedtime cos its the only time he'll go off to sleep on his own and we have the same routine every night.
Might have to start adding a nightly bath in to try and tire him out a bit more.

Natalie - hope you get something sorted soon. I've had Jack's name down for the creche since Christmas cos when I rang back in August they said I had to apply early. So glad I've got that sorted, there is no woay we could survive unless I got loads of MS jobs but can't rely on them!

Sami - you should be OK. I got the same brand toddler bed in the car but had to drive back with the boot open Your car is bigger than mine but you might struggle with having the 2 boys in the back.

quiet today - wonder why? Well done SM!

Question:
Just got my babycentre email and part of it says

Is it always 6 weeks? Mine isn't until May and she will be 8/9 weeks then.

I just got a call from the HV and asked about E's check up cos I havent had a appointment through for him, and she looked on comp and its on 28th when he will be 6 weeks and a day, and she said mine will be at same time, same appointment.

But I also have a 6 week check up at the hospital as well.

E is meant to be at hospital on friday for a hearing test but he had one in hospital before he left and passed it, so she said she doesnt think he needs that one, so I need ring them to check (once Ive found the letter :eek:)

Som I will deffo try him in a sleeping bag tonight

Thanks WM, I will deffo ask the dr for some, Ive bought him colic bottles and gripe water and aptamil comfort (but havent started him on the milk yet) we're trying everything lol

Gym - yeah we have a baby swing, he can sometimes be in it 20 mins before he wants out lol so he seems to like it, but if you put him in it while he is screaming he just gets worse

Gym - I bled for two weeks, then stoped for two days then started again, I thought it might be my period but its lasted two more weeks so dont think so, I havent bled today (yet) so hopefully its stopping now

Sami - I am pleased you brought up the Ikea mattress thing cos we have one then I read that its meant to be waterproofed? is there something I can put on it?

Som - If no one else has asked for the dummy clips, can I lol
