    I have been out enjoying the sun at my sister's. Back now and wondering what's wrong with my baby - he woke up at 8ish this morning and hasn't been to sleep since :eek: well apart from 10 minutesz in the car on the way home. I put him in his pram when I got back as that's where he sleeps in the day and I've just ignored him for the last 2 0 minutes while he's been chatting away to himself. Thought for sure he'd just drop off but apparently not. Wonder if it's the heat?

    Afternoon Everyone...

    Aless:A

    Happy Birthday Dylan:D

    Hugs Becles for your bad head:)



    I am on the countdown now, 12 days to go :j (this is what I will be doing next week, out on the trampoline)

    Had a terrible night last night, for the last few weeks, on and off, dh has been coming to bed about an hour after me, which leaves just enough time for me to have not long fallen asleep when he actually comes up. Now I don't actually mind that he is staying up (well what's left of the rational side of me doesn't mind:o) The problem is he doesn't exactly creep into the room and try not to disturb me, so I inevitably end up awake and unable to get back to sleep for ages:(

    A few times he has actually woken me up to rub vicks on and use my sniffer because I am snoring as I am so blocked up....now, he suffers from sinusitus and for the last 15yrs I have had to put up with him, snoring/grunting/snotting/drinking water and opening windows and going the loo all night......so last night I flipped when he woke me to put some vicks on (I only get blocked up in early and late pregnancy and it's not even every night). We ended up having a screaming match at 12.30am which lasted a good 20 mins or more and woke the kids up, although the older two went straight back to sleep, I ended up awake with K until 3.30 this morning as he just wouldn't go back to sleep!!!

    Do you think it is reasonable for him to wake me, he thinks it is because I am keeping him from getting to sleep...my argument is that if he came to bed the same time as me, the likelyhood is he would be asleep before me anyway. It takes me nearly an hour to get comfy and fall asleep atm.....

    Sorry for moaning again:o

    Hope everyone is well:D

    So he's waking you up so he can sleep? Sounds to me like he thinks his sleep is more important than yours. I'd say it should be the other way round.

    I would go mental if DH woke me up like that.

    Mel, sounds more and more like you live with the same tit that I do.
    I sleep with ear plugs in every night, can't be doing with his snorting and snoring. But I still manage to hear the baby on the monitor though.
    I often take myself off to the spare room to sleep, and probably slept there for the last 3 months of my pregnancy, but I don't suppose you have that luxury. OH is also totally not quiet if he comes to bed after me, lights on, TV on etc. But god forbid I do that to him in the morning.

    I agree with SJ, your sleep is far more important than his, i'd be joining you in the night time screaming match. He has no idea how uncomfortable and knackered you are. Would it be horrible to hope you do some damage to his private parts whilst in labour ;)

    I think it is partly my fault, as I should have put him straight the very first time he did it:cool:

    WM, He flips if everyone wakes him up in the morning. I have told him from now on, screw him, we will make as much noise as we want to in the morning.

    I wish I did have a spare room! I have said that i'm not sleeping in the same room as such a W****r any more, never mind the same bed...I really went crazy last night. He got a full on rant for a good 18mins of the argument and then he had the cheek to try and make out I am some kind of crazy woman:mad::mad:

    Anyway, we have barely spoken today and I think I will get the older two to top n tail tonight so I can have ds2's bed:p

    I have calmed down a lot now, but am still annoyed about it all.

    Mel, that's the reason I have to go to bed at the same time as Hubby... No matter how much he promises to be quiet when he comes to bed, he just can't help himself and always wakes me up...

    Aimee's whinging at me because I'm making her eat stew... Her little friend is here... She's not so keen on it either... But then she won't eat food that's not yellow... I made her eat salad last time she was here... I'm dead mean me ;)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Krystal - I had the same problem with the next directory. I phoned up and told them that I hadn't asked for it or agreed to pay for it. All I could think was that I must have entered a comp with sneaky t & cs! The man on the phone was very apologetic and said he would have the charge taken off for me.

    We've had a really nice day today. Went to my Mum's this morning and took Thomas for a walk in the park, then I met a friend for lunch. Thomas is overtired now though but can I get him to nap??? He's lying in his basket hiccupping, shouting and waving his arms around! The park has set my hayfever off aswell, not impressed as I can't take anything for it because of bfing :(
