    Well I was having a good day till it got to mid afternoon and then just been all over the shop! Baby girl is feeding about every hour and a half and if she's not feeding then she wont settle unless I cuddle her :( .

    That is exactly the same as Elliot has been today, weird huh? Esp cos babygirl is a day older than him, she might be going through a growth spurt which I suspect he is

    Snap what Krystal said lol :)

    My mam rocks, she just rang to ask if we want to go to the lakes in October with her and my two aunties and my brother and his wife, and she is paying for everyone! (she just part-retired and is getting a lump sum)

    So she has booked us into here for two nights (we have been before and its lush)

    http://www.hotelslakedistrict.com/gallery.htm

    I ended up being the most expensive (well me, oh and elliot) cos we have a baby we have to have a superior room or something lol which (even with the 30% early bird discount) is £115 a night for the room which does include brekfast for the 3 of us, the rest of the rooms is £90 each a night :)

    Elliot's first trip to the lakes

    Urgh. I handed the stinky baby off to OH to change her, looked down and realised I was covered in poops. So I changed my shirt and washed my hands, then heard OH shouting. Back to find she'd kicked the Calpol and it had spilled on the floor and on her rug. Off to the kitchen to pick up some kitchen roll, heard more shouting - she'd peed down his leg :eek:

    Everyone is clean now and the rug is in the machine but it was a rather hectic few minutes there...

    BM - Keira is very pretty, loving the pose:) I hope I have a pretty girly, not an ugly mug like I was(am).

    Kindof
    - Feeding! Don't worry if Elliott wants feeding more aften than 4hourly...I know it feels like you are forever feeding, burping, changing etc but it does get easier. Kai NEVER fed 4 hourly he was 3 hourly right up to weaning, although he did sleep through the night from 2wks old so I put it down to him getting his milk quota in through the day to last him over night too, if that makes any sense. Just go with the flow, try and maybe stretch him an extra half hour if you really want to, by distraction/cuddles and maybe see if he will take to that as a regular thing......Probably haven't helped at all but I remember I was the same with my first and my dad (of all people) turned around to me and said he is not a machine that can be programmed to set feeding, sleeping, pooping times!!! I think I told him to shut-up and I knew what I was doing....I now just go with the flow.....

    I have slept and slept today...went to bed by 10,30 last night and got up at 8.30, then went back to bed 9.30 till 11 and then again 2 till 4....That's what 2nts of no sleep does!!! DH is out buying popcorn and coke and we are going to watch a film with the older two, Kai just gone to bed so will sort out dvd now.......

    Does it matter if I rearrange my 28wk mw appt to 29wks, meant to be for bloods? I want to come to Lowry too xx
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    I was upstairs last night and when I came down I had to double take at the telly. I love MM!


    Talking of rolling babies, K was doing a few random rolls for the last few weeks but 2 days ago he decided rolling was the in thing! I can't take my eyes off him for a second, hes off at super speed!

    He was away round at the IL's today getting visits from great grandparents :( Was all sad and all alone (well apart from OH ;))
