Happy Birthday Jayden :bdaycake:

Welcome back Becles, glad you had a good holiday.

Apparently the parents were watching tv so thats why the door was open (they were still up) and the fox went upstairs. To be fair we have loads of foxes round us that wander round at night but at least we have Taz to scare them although most will stand there for a few minutes before running off even then.

And me SS.

Morning all.

Benjamin pooped in the night again and his bottom is really sore I really don't know what to do with him ATM. As soon as it starts to clear up something happens and it gets much worse again. Poor babba.

He woke up in a really cheery mood with me this morning but a really grumpy mood with his daddy. It is getting to be more and more common that he is crying when his daddy has him and wanting to come to me I think it is because I talk/entertain/play with him whilst hubby wants cuddles (especially in the morning) but hubby doesn't seem to see that. He thinks Benjamin should just want to lie there with him, or sit on the sofa with him...it ain't ever gonna happen!!

I do feel awful for hubby though. I would hate it if it were the other way around.



Happy Birthday Jayden!!!

Maz - I know I should ask this question the day before I want to buy nappies but do you know off the top of your head where is the cheapest for green nappies ATM?


By green I mean the ones I use at night-time, not eco-friendly

Husband is often the same way - he doesn't seem to realise that stuff can change in a second and while last week Molly was happy to cuddle up with him in the bed and watch a film this week she wants to climb on him and over him and try to escape the mattress.

We have a game that the three of us can play together, so he does spend time playing with her and she doesn't get arsey with him - but it does worry me. I also worry because she's napping less and less and he isn't keeping up with her changes. Yesterday she was up for about 40 minutes, yawned and he put her in the crib straight away and then wondered why she was howling. I didn't believe in maternal instinct as something that fathers can't learn, but I do wonder.

Hello everyone, i can't believe it's been nearly 2 months since i last came on. It has flown but we had a bit of a gap with hospital apts for both boys so i have been taking the time to just play with an enjoy the baby as i felt i lost those magical first weeks/months with being so busy with apts and him being ill. We have had a fab time and hubby has been taking quite alot of annual leave too so we have being doing proper family things.

I hope everyone is well. I am off to the HV clinic in a mo she was ment to be coming here like she still does every month but she is in clinic so i have to go there but it my normal clinic so i don't really know where i am going.

H is still under the hospital, under 3 different department and the apt are starting up again. I wish they could all coincide with each other and have them all on one day but it doesn't work out like that so i end up going sveral times a week.

He is 6 months and was 12lb at last weigh in so lets see how much he has put on. I bet all the 6 months babies on here are doing really well. As H is so small he can't do much he doesn't sit, can't roll over etc but they just say he is a couple of months behind what with not being well and will catch up so i am not worried yet.

But this is my hubby's 4th!!! You would think he would know that babies (at least this baby) need stimulation!!

He is very good with Benjamin, and I think part of the problem at the moment is that he is stressed to the max and is struggling to function at home anyway (can you imagine what our house is like LOL). I guess once Benjamin starts talking then he can tell his daddy himself to haul his laxy butt out of bed and play

Speaking of which - Benjamin has started making a consistent noise when I say 'Love you' and he makes the same sing-song tones back :A It's not words, but I know what he means
