Friday June 11th - I bet you have an appointment.

Are you getting a chance to nap during the day? You must be exhausted staying up late, getting up early and entertaining three boys all day. (Is your half term this week, like ours?).

Grrrrr - I KNEW it would be that Friday....I have J's Physio at hospital in the morning and my MW home visit after lunch!!!!!! That's how I knew:p

Our half term is this week AND next week.....they get two weeks off now, but it thankfully means a week less in the summer holidays:)

Awww. But you'll be able to bring your new one to a sling meet soon and we can all get cuddles.

The school holidays really confuse me. There seems to be a few areas having two weeks now. I'm very happy ours is only one week.

ETA: :eek: I've just realised your baby is due this month! :eek:

I notice more schools having two weeks too...I don't mind as it makes the summer holidays shorter:D

I know scary isn't it...I keep going between:j and:eek:

Morrrrrrning! Well I don't want to jinx it, but maybe the binky/soother/dummy was causing all ours problems??? Because yesterday was Day 1 of going without it cold turkey and he only woke up to eat at 2am and no other time - nothing short of a miracle!! Did still wake up quite early at quarter to six, but I'd rather have that, to be honest, than once an hour during the night. I'll stop being excited in case it was a one-off .

Mel, you starting to get nervous yet? It could really be any time now!

Bruno, it must've been because I was reading the thread right before bed, but I had a dream about you and Mrs B (and E) last night :eek:. Don't really remember what it was about only that it centered around you guys. Tres bizarre. And I remember E was cute .

I have found that all of mine have gone through a period of waking every 5mins because the dum fell out! It usually passes, eventually....although good if you can get them to go to sleep without it altogether so as not to suffer the 'dummy run'

Not sure if I am nervous or not...just fed up of being fat now!! Seeing as I didn't get much of a breather from it in between babies:cool:

OOh Glam my dream is coming true!
If AF is due next week, and you dtd last Sunday, isn't that perfect timing for you ovulating? (Sorry, i'm obsessed with ovulation/af times - i'm actually ovulating as I type!) :rotfl:

Now listen here missus psychic lady, I don't need to hear about any dreams involving me being pregnant or about when I ovulate! I tend to ignore these things as they aren't important!
I've just had some toast and a can of ginger beer which is the first thing since Monday and so far it's stayed down! :j

YAY for Stokke! Very jealous! I'll have to find a way to come to a sling meet so I can see it!

Oh how strange! Last night, I noticed that when Jack was trying to drop off to sleep he was furiously sucking his dummy and it looked like it was preventing him from sleeping. So, I took it out his mouth and he sucked on his tongue for a bit and then fell asleep AND stayed that way!
He slept from 7.30pm until 6.30am with a wake up for a bottle at 2am :j

Could have been the dummy or it could have been the bath rather than the shower!

Right, better get on with some work I suppose!

:jJack! :j maybe at some point, for some babies, it stops being helpful and starts being more of a distraction? He's gone from writhing and screaming when it's time for sleep to pretty much zonking out when his head hits the mattress...so weird but I'm totally not complaining.

You must be feeling like you've been pregnant for years! :eek:

It wasn't just me, someone else had the same dream didn't they?

We need a new pregnancy. Mel will be having her baby soon - come to a sling meet after that and she can make you all broody.

oh, are you able to say who they used??? i am just thinking of the telephone consultation, but i'm not sure. worried they will just tell me things i already know.

interesting what they say about the connection between food and sleep, not in the sense of a full tummy means sleep, but how foods can affect sleep. my LO prefers a liquid diet over anything else, and is a bit hit and miss but i do wonder about intolerances, as i have them (not fully explored as i moved over here when i was starting to find out about them) and wonder if it may have something to do with her sleep (or you can read as i might be grasping at straws )

Will text you but I would say if you are paying for a consultation I would go the whole hog and see them in person (haven't looked at the prices though) xx

OMG MFD, I came back from the shop and our cliffhanger Lexulous game has ended, and I can't make it show me the end result! Did you pull it off at the final moment?

AF, if it's a possible solution that has definitely worked for some people out there, it's worth trying for you I think. Leave no stone unturned. Good luck.

I finished by resorting to GIN and if you don't know the answer I definitely won

I may have accidentally purchased a stokke this afternoon! :eek:
Also, the Stokke comes with the carrycot part. Would I be better selling that now as I don't need it, or keeping hold of it to sell complete when I don't need any of it anymore?

LOL - I have started another little cult, first Antilops, then Sophies, now Stokkes

I hope you love yours as much as I love mine!

I really wanted the green one I ended up with turquoise because it was the best offer I could find.

You could always go for a new textile set!

How much are the carrycots going for? TBH I would sell it and recoup some of your money now (or save it for babba no. 4 )

Morning all, just a quick post cos at work

Thought that I would let you know when I was in Mr.Ts yesterday I noticed that the Economy Packs of Pampers were priced at £9.49 :eek:... although they have got them on offer at 2 for £16. Have checked all the websites and they seem to be the only ones at the moment but Asda's are not showing economy packs at all on there...

Time to stock up especially with the Morrisons offer.... need to update spreadsheet tonight, must rememeber...
