    hmmm still haven't managed much, my friend gave me the baby whisperer book, so ive been reading that today, trying to implement some things, but roos just bathed and enjoyed it so much he screamed his head off when he had to come out, so not quite as relaxing as it is supposed to be! im feeding him again in the hope he'll go to sleep and i can have a bath.

    I never got on with the baby whisperer book. Said she should be sleeping hour and a half of every three, was never going to happen ! I know some people swear by it though. Worth trying as all babies are different.

    morning, didn't make it to buggy walk this morning, as have been to the Drs this morning to get baby roo some gaviscon, bless him.

    Just feeding him now. I know what you mean wendz, there is no way roo would ever sleep that long, he likes being awake! I'm going to try and put him down in his crib for an afternoon nap as he seemed to like that, and slept for an hour yesterday which is unheard of, also im not going to religiously wake my baby up at 7am as it says!!!!

    Well weigh day today and I have lost another 2lb this week, yaaaaaay! 16lb left to go, im liking the 2lb a week as im not finding it that hard, well i say 16lb i'll see what ilook like at 13lb and if im happy i'll stick with that, my goal is OH's birthday on 21st march as were going to go out and i want to feel fab!

    have a lot to do today, lets see how much we can get done!

    Thats good the doctor perscribed the baby gaviscon for Roo, i hope it helps him.

    Well done on loosing another 2lb, 2lb a week is a healthy amount to loose and achievable amount a week.

    Good luck with your jobs to do today, bet you cant wait for your OH to get home 2moz.

    Morning all :)

    Well done on the weight loss missy!! I've made a decision to avoid the crisps, biscuits and chocolate, also to cut down on the fried food, takeaways, and cut down on the cheese (cheese is deffo my downfall lol) also i'm trying to walk that bit faster to get the blood pumping :)

    I have no doubt you will get your list done :) i've not done much this mornin baby is havin a nice sleep at the mo I have upped him to 6oz feeds and I'm tryin to get him to go 4 hours between feeds it seems to be working as he isnt leaving any, plus his cold has gone so no more sicking up :)

    OMG I cant believe how cold it is today, I couldnt feel my feet and legs after the school run! on the plus side at least it not raining and the sun is shining :)

    Really glad docs given roo some gaviscon hope it helps him :)

    right better get a bit done before he wakes up

    xx

    Roo sounds quite similar to how Poppy was at that age although she never had the wind problems so no excuse lol. I think you can use the routines as guides and adapt it to you and baby. I always let Poppy sleep till when she wants which is usually about half 8, she does still wake in the night a couple of times. Going to have to start getting her up earlier though for practice for when i'm back at work and we will be leaving flat about 7.10 am eek!

    Your weightloss is brilliant, as others have said is a nice healthy amount to lose. I am sure you will reach your target.

    hey lovelies, well roo has just had an hours nap!!! trouble is he wants feeding straight after, so its only been 2.5 hours since he was last fed... will work on trying to put him down later, he was shattered though. Well whilst roo was asleep, i sorted some washing, put some more on and took some christmas decs down, lol i know i know, they were supposed to be down ages ago but we had so so many, and up til now roo hasnt even liked to be put down for 5 minutes so ive done bits and pieces but not had a good chance to get everything down, so i've taken down and wrapped the glass baubles from two of the trees and i'll take the lights off if i can get him to have an afternoon nap, but its for him to be asleep in his crip as i dont have to worry about the noise or if hes comfortable :) so the baby whisperer is good for some things :)

    still have soooooooo much to do off of my list but im getting there slowly.

    thank you for the support guys, in everything, it is really appreciated.

    you're right maria, i cant wait for OH to get back tomorrow, yay.

    That is good you are putting Roo down for his naps, I never did with Poppy as she used to wake up so soon but have started doing it now and she is a bit better.It is definately easier to get some stuff done although i usually just end up on here.

    Looks like you have done pretty well with your list.
