Hi All

Just catching up haven't been on in a long time!!

Re weight t has soared up the charts from 0.4 to 50 think as he was feeding every 2 to 3 hours including at night until a month or so ago he is now a porker (!!) at nearly 16 pounds.

Re weaning t is mainy bfed with either a top up of expressed or formula on a night and I will wean him when he wants more at the mo he is satisfied.

Re sleeping through, from going from 2 to 3 wake ups at least a corner has changed in the last month with generally only one wake up from bed time about 8ish (usually about 4/5) but he has slept through from 8 till 7 about 3 or 4 times in total which was a complete shock. I think t finding his thumb has helped because if he wakes unsettled not hungry he can settle himself not use mummy's breasts!! KK can I ask did your t start waking when you weaned him as this can sometimes happen??

Will try to be on more, used to be able to go on laptop when feeding but now t is very nosy the lights on the laptop distract him so only can catch up when he sleeps!!

Well I've just been on the pone to the emergency dental people having been awake almost all night in excruciating pain. They're going to call me back and I'm just praying they have an appointment today, even if I have to leave at silly o clock and bring the kids in the car in their PJs

I hope everyone else has had more sleep lol.

Morning all Not too bad sleep here - Izzy woke up in the night and wouldn't go back to sleep until I get DH to settle her. I don't know why him putting her back to bed is better than me, but at least it means I can get him to do it

Morning

Hope you get sorted delain. Dental pain is horrid *hugs* xx

Was up a couple of times with Charlotte. She's got a bit of a cold and she was coughing.

Slept in and missed boot camp. Will have to do something on the Wii instead.

Have a good day all xx

eek delain, hope you get it sorted!

I like the FB was down for a lot of people, it made the thread more chatty!! :T

Now that we've learned the word for banana, my son is positively OBSESSED with them. This morning, I could hear DH take him from the changing table to the living room, like usual, but Finn instantly started crying and shouting, "NANNA, NANNA, NANANANANANNA!!" So DH picked him up and took him to kitchen, whereupon seeing the bananas, he instantly started shouting it again until DH gave him one and the little monkey happily scarfed one down in 5 seconds.

Ouch delain... hope you get sorted soon. I once spent the night in complete agony and tried everything to stop the pain I was so desperate:o I then saw the emergency dentist about 3pm the next day.

I'm ANGRY:mad::mad::mad:

Those who knew me whilst PG might remember I had an awful time with a neighbour... he's started again on his all night parties, loud music, fights outside house etc etc. I didn't flippin sleep last night and Daisy kept jumping out of her skin everytime someone was trying to kick his door in:mad: We really really need to find a new house SOON!!!

both our boys have been up since 5, yuck.

On the positive side, this means I have made 4 loaves of bread, made one up into hummus sarnies and frozen and a batch of twinks already, so it's productive!

today I plan to buy a lemon tree, get some chilli, pepper and basil seeds going and do some decluttering.

Delain: sorry to hear ur having problems with family, and I hope u get ur toothache sorted, there's nothing worse.

Sir M welcome back! I did think had T started waking due to weaning but he was waking before that. He just seemed to have a constant growth spurt, constantly hungry and started waking in the night. I feel he was ready for weaning, I tried to hold back but I do worry a bit I may have stopped him sleeping thru! He woke 3am, I took him to bed and he never had a feed so that was unusual. Sounds like ur little man is doing well! I think he must weigh similar to my T!

Afternoon all

Hugs where needed for rubbish families, sleepless children, epic tiredness, sickness, toothache, melted crockpots and narrow escapes.

We're leaving the monster with a babysitter for the first time tonight, I am a bit worried but she seems very nice and it's not for long. But I am still wibbling a bit. We're going for a lovely dinner at a place that serves massive steaks and ribs and all sorts of nommy side dishes, I am very excited while at the same time being a bit worried about leaving the small one.

Husband's doing much better, he was very resistant to the idea that the stress of worrying about the worst case scenario might have contributed to how bad he felt but is feeling astonishingly well considering :rotfl: and has been veg shopping, done the dishes and got up with Miss M this morning and did the vacuuming.
