Would waking up for a brief minute affect the 3 hours continuous sleep? I always wake up about 6am because im thirsty.

Assuming you sit up and have a drink then I would have thought it might. You could always try taking your temperature at that time (before you have a drink obviously) and see if that helps.

Can I ask the advice of anyone who has had a c-section? My wound still hurts (as to be expected only been 12 days LOL) but I have got horrendous pain in my back, on my left side about 4 inches up from my backside, in line with my epidural entry point. I dont know if the two are linked, but it is so painful. Nothing I do seems to help it, and Im just wondering if its just a side effect of epidural. He was telling me all the side effects but at that point i could barely remember my own name!

Cafc It probably is just a side effect after my first where they tried to get an epidural in (it didnt happen) i found for months i was getting really nasty back pains around the entry site they did ease off eventually but even now 12 years on i still get the odd niggle there probably once or twice a year. They do warn you about it but like you say your completely out of it by that point. Get it checked out though to be safe :-)

Phew, what a morning!
Amelie's first day at Pre-school (she's going to go for two days a week until the end of term so she can get to know some of the children before starting school in September.
My car's still in the garage, as the gearbox died last week, so mum was going to pick us up at 8.30am and take us to the pre-school.
Husband's had a sore toe for days, and woke up this morning unable to put any weight on it - says he's got to go to work (20 miles away), so can I take him and collect him this evening. Mum's just reminded me that after Amelie's pre-school finishes at 3pm, she's got swimming at 4pm (I'd completely forgotten, we used to go on Tuesdays).
Phew, I think I'm going to retrain as a taxi driver, at least then I'll get paid!
Got back just in time to get a call from the garage. Lovely garage has managed to find a second-hand gearbox, but I still need a new clutch etc and it's going to cost around £700 :eek:

@ your car red our gearbox is also a bit iffy and we are trying to get the money together ready for when it inevitably packs up! it will cost about the same probably, maybe a bit more:( Cars are fantastic, until they break:cool:
Hope Amelie enjoys pre-school:)

Hey Jam,

Searchie has asked me the same I'm not sure yet, feel like I've been away for too long.

Other than that I've been plodding along, working and spending time in the sun

How are you and C?

ETA: Hi 3 - see above.
Hope your head clears before your appointment

How horrible for all this to have happened to you, and in a short space of time too!

Did the burglars take much, was it while you were home?

newmoneysaver_2

Thanks for all the wishes. It's just a run of bad luck that will pass.

Mel - the burglary was back in April. We were in bed at the time. Mainly electrical items taken, things that can mostly be replaced and luckily are sorted now.
Oh, and congratulations to you and your family. Tea is gorgeous

That makes me feel a lot better.

M/w called me back and said pretty much the same thing but if im really struggling with the pain to call dr's and get some stronger painkillers.... and she did tell me to just lay around for the day as well :rotfl:

redmel1621

Ah I see, still, a horrible time for you all. Fingers crossed things are on the up for you now:)

Thank you, I think she is gorgeous too;)

I have informed tax credits, she is booked in to be registered on Monday, before ds1's sports day starts and I need to phone the church back at 1.30 to book naming ceremony...have I forgotten anything? Do Tax credits still inform child benefit....i'm sure they did when I had K last year!!!

Hello NMS, Dora, Scruffy and everyone else! Nice to hear from those MIA.

Redstar – I think there is a chart on the first page of the Parent Thread with some of the babies weights. Not sure if anyone can view it or if you need to be part of it? Anyway, Holly was 11lb 14oz at 10 weeks, and she was 8lb 7oz when born so Freddy has definitely caught up. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
And I have worked out that you posted about Amelie and called her “A” and that’s why I thought it was you who had an Anya!! Amelie is a lovely name (and film) too! X

My baby can crawl! She has been mobile for a while, but mostly shuffling about in a strange way, and crawling backwards. As of last night, she is crawling properly.

I am going out soon to buy some Huggies. Another 2 leaky nappies yesterday and 1 today. I had to strip her cot and dry out the mattress yesterday for the second one. I have no reason to think she is a "heavy wetter" as she has been fine up until recently, and it’s not just night time nappies – yesterday it was during her nap so nappy was only on for about 2 hours. I think her shape must just have changed and Pampers are no good anymore. One of the leaks was a Baby Dry nappy so it’s not just the Active Fit!

Where is Aless this morning? Not like her not to be on first thing.
