SS - I would also say it might be worth giving it one more shot when the head lady is there....If you still feel it isn't for you/M then fair enough:)

The wind has snapped a huge part of the big tree off in our arden, it is half in our garden and half smashed through the fence panel into next doors garden....there is no way we can move it, so I am waiting for my mum's boyf to caom round at midday with his chainsaw to chop it up, hopefully we will be able to move it then...it really is HUUUUUUUUGE!!!!! We have also come up with a solution for the dog to stop him wrecking/peeing/crapping/digging all over the back garden, so as soon as we have some spare cash (haha) then that will be a priority xx

Becles, you crazy lady...I sent dh down the school in the car to drop the boys off;)

We are going to have a little look over dh's CV today and try and get a decent covering letter written out as there is a fabtastic job for him, that he would love...I really hope we can get him at least to the interview stage it would really boost his confidence, obviously even better if he got the job:D

Ahhhhhhh I feel so sad for Miss M Breaks my heart just thinking about her being left out......

I actually have tears in my eyes, I think It's my TOTM, I always bubble....

But I would cry if it happened to Keira too.

Becles

That's so sad about Miss M. It upsets me thinking about her sitting all on her own. Hope you can find somewhere else to take her instead.

Parents off on holidays so I've got Charlotte at home with me in the mornings. Had a busy morning baking fairy cakes, playing hairdressers, playing boot camps, dancing, icing the fairy cakes and answering several million questions about the formation of rainbows, where sugar comes from and Chinese dragons.

Sugar The t-shirt didn't work last night but OJ is sleeping soundly in his basket as I speak, it's not been long but I hope it's a thing to come. He does seem more settled in general so I think he's adjusting to life on the outside!
Sorry to hear about Miss M xxx

Quick dash in & out to say hello!

Yay for teeth!
Yay for K's dummy only at night!
for Molly's negative experience
Yay for sleeping babies!
for those who don't

We had a sick baby last night, but he felt normal temp this morning, so hopefully it's passing. I hope he gets over this cycle of illnesses soon, though, once he's built up an immunity to whatever the CM's kiddos bring with them, lol. I swear I had something else to say, but brain has totally conked out. THANK GOD FOR FRIDAY!!

I find it hard with my two especially when OH works late to 9. The have breakfast, main meal at lunch and then tea of sandwiches/beans on toast about 3.30ish so when we get home at 5.30 they want something else. Normally with OH we would do a meal and they just eat as much as they want but with just the 3 of us I find it hard to cook a 'big' meal as its a waste if you know what I mean.
!!

Thanks sometimes I do wonder if I should still be cooking a big meal for them but with the baby and it not being his best time of the day its hard, I guess you just do what you can. I've made a lasagna for OH and my lunch and put some portions aside for them so all I'll have to do tonight is warm them up. They have packed lunch at school though so i'm starting to wonder if I should change them to school dinners.

Ah sugarspun that is sad, is she quite a shy girl normally, sometimes kids being quiet seemingly happy to themselves get overlooked as the more demanding ones get all the attention and it is such a shame. It may be worth a try when the main carer is there but I would be worried about when she is ill again.

Well I'm going to try not waking bobby up between 10-11pm tonight, I've been waking him for a feed before I go to bed and he is sound asleep but its made no difference to his waking at 3am so instead of staying up to wake him I'm gonna go to bed when I'm tired and wait till he wakes me. I have a feeling he may drop the 10pm feed but continue to wake at 3am but so be it I can deal with that. Or if he wakes at midnight ish he might go to 6-7 am after fingers crossed.

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to introduce myself even though I posted a few days ago. I have followed everyone through the various TTC and Pregnancy forums and look forward to sharing and support through the parents forum.

Baby Oliver Jack George was born on 19th Jan. I am loving it but as with all new mums completely knackered and finding breastfeeding so demanding.

SarahAngel and Make-It-3 - We are experiencing the same problems as you so I can really sympathise.

It has been better for the past 2 nights as DH has fed Ollie at midnight with my expressed breastmilk in a bottle. We kept a small bedside light on and didn't interact with him too much. I know they don't recommend using bottles for a month or so but the cup was a complete nightmare as it ended up everywhere so we had to abandon that. He has then slept through until 4am and I then fed him in bed laid next to me as the midwife showed me how to do this and helps in not disturbing either of us too much. He then goes back down and woke again at 7am. If this continues it would be great as before this I wasn't getting any sleep at all. DH also said it would be better to keep him awake where possible during the day so he is tired at night.

Also wanted to ask ladies, I only had a bit of bleeding and not much pain after birth but in the last couple of days it has started up again. Is this normal?

I think my problem is trying to cook a good, decent meal EVERY might..I think a few nights of fish fingers and chips are in order in the long(ish) term...T is not the most content of baby's anyway, but around dinner time she is tired and cranky and screechy, which is what causes all the problems. I will get a load of, 'easy' meals for next week, just to get some time off and make a point! The problem is, I don't do anything else...all I am at the moment is a mum, therefore I feel that I need to be supermum. When I was working too, I wouldn't feel guilty about having a chippy meal each week, or feeding the kids an oven dinner and me and dh eating later. Maybe I put too much pressure on myself and then refuse to ask for any help as I would then feel like a failure....



Good Luck with the not waking Bobby tonight xx
