Me too GISI! I love Christmas and it seems weird that it's only two weeks away and we don't have a tree yet, my parents had one from December 1st always.

Yay for Christmas stuff!

I can't believe our recycling wasn't picked up yesterday. It was supposed to go last Thursday and there's all these leaflets about Christmas dates attached to the bins, so I thought maybe they picked up rubbish instead. But nothing's been picked up? !!!!!!? Where did the leaflets come from? ANNOYED.

Morning!

Ales glad Finn is better!

GISI good point, I there was a growth spurt about 12 weeks but didn't think there was another until 20 weeks, he is 15 weeks tomorrow and so far all growth spurts have been about a week before. He took 240mls in the night then wasn't satisfied so took 30mls from another bottle, I rocked him until my arms aches then put him back to bed and went downstairs and drank horlicks! By the time I finished he was sleeping! He has just taken another 240mls and still doesn't seem full... Argh! He also has hiccups!

Xmas party tonight so I won't be able to rest tonight unfort!

I'm pleased to report that we are back from the shop. Now we can eat [strike]chips[/strike] healthy fruit again. We also saw a digger on the way which was very exciting Now it is time for messy play, but someone is busy with her milk. I'm sure they won't worry about starting without us though I got a vm yesterday that I'd won something in the christmas raffle. They were doing a christmas hamper and it would be cool to win that, but at the same time i don't need the chutney I donated back again - I have tons of the stuff!

Morning all

First night was not bad at all really... OH did have to deal with lots of contraction pains... Callie had basically slept from 9am til 9.30pm including being uninterested in booby when it was tried a couple times in the afternoon, but then OH thought she'd better have another go before going to sleep.
At that point C got very interested and she ended up spending 5 minutes in the moses basket, 9 hours in the bed with us getting a whole lot of booby, very promising keenness on BF, might be an easy ride this time if we're lucky, compared to last time where the first 5 weeks were very hard.

E is definitely interested but bemused by the baby he keeps peeking at her and checking on her, and being surprised by her little grunts and movements. After a good nap in her basket with me, I just transferred her to mama's bed for more BF and he got very concerned about her now empty basket... "Where's baby C gone? Where is she? Is mama sleeping? Is baby C sleeping? Can we go see?"

Anyone with an iphone, have you come across the free mumsnet baby guide app?

morning everyone

babies are noisey when they are sleeping aren't they? I have learnt to ignore most of little mans snuffly breathing and tiny moans but about 2am I got up sort his bottle out came back and he was fast asleep, cheeky monkey. I then couldn't sleep cos I knew he would be up soon and it did only take about 5 minutes and he drained his bottle really quickly.

OH has taken yesterday and today off as unpaid leave. He hadn't been getting home till 8pm and when he starts at 3-4am it was getting too much for him and me. We can't afford the time off but until my stupid boob sorts itself out I can't do much at home, its really depressing.

Braved the doctors this morning, got to speak to a doctor, if not actually to see him, he's prescribed Nystatin drops for Katie. I've kept her off playgroup today as she has been so busy lately no wonder she's caught something.

She's currently coating the living room in a fine layer of Moon Sand.

We will have to go out later to collect her prescription.

Hugs to everyone.

Bruno - fingers crossed for BF easy ride. E sounds like he's going to be a fab big brother.

Aless - nice to hear Finn is on the mend.

Merfe - have you seen anyone about sore boob? I would if it's gone on for a length of time.

Katie only moved out of our room in August age 3 years 4 months!
