Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[arlene]

Karen glad you didn't get done with your jumperoo! And you're lucky Dylan is such a good sleeper!

Laura, that's good that you're beginning to figure out what it is that's causing Alex's reflux. Hopefully though it's all allergies that he'll grow out of!

Christine, yay for PAige's harness coming off!! I went a walk along the canal yesterday, going to start back on my diet plan if I get the ok from the doctor today!

So jealous you have the caravan emma! We had one when we were kids and went every weekend, I loved it!

Sorry I haven't been on the last couple of days. James had a nightmare day yesterday, didn't sleep for anymore than 30-40 mins without waking up screaming and kept fighting sleep last night. on the upside we may have a buyer for our flat! Will post details later, James has just woken fkr a feed xx

 

[bbymc]

Aw that's great Arlene. I hope it all goes through without a hitch! Where you gona move to? I hope you're having a better day with James today! Lewis was like that at the weekend. It's horrible. That's one good thing about the caravan, my parents are there, as are my bro and his family so there's always lots of people to help with Lewis if he's being a nightmare lol.

Ive got Ryan's mum coming tomorrow. She's working at 5 so probably will leave at 4 but I bet she turns up at 10am or something :-/ I'm dreading it cos I've been working on trying to get Lewis into a better routine. It's going really well but with the way she is, she will sabotage it tomorrow. If she does, I'm going to say she can't visit until she is prepared to listen!

How you all getting on? I'm off to the docs with Lewis this afternoon to get an official diagnosis and prescription for gaviscon lol.

 

[bbymc]

Here's the details for the scout hall for Saturday.

South Queensferry Scout Group, Nelson Hall, No. 10 Port Edgar Marina, South Queensferry EH30 9SQ

Is booked from 11-2pm and its costing £7.50 each, assuming its just me, Karen, Laura and Arlene. Xx

 

[Kaybee]

Thats exciting Arlene. Hope James had a better day today.

How did you get on at the doc Emma?

I am going back to doc tomorrow and dentist on thurs. Still not right

 

[bbymc]

Doc just prescribed gaviscon. Never even looked at Lewis. Lol.

Let us know how you get on Karen.

So Lewis seemed to follow our routine to a t yesterday and I was convinced we would get 8-3.30 then 4-7 aas thats the number of hours he's been managing on and off. But we got 8-1.30 then 2-5.30 then 6-8. Its not a bad night but I was sure we would have dropped the first night feed Especially since I cluster fed him between 5.30 and 8. :-/

 

[lj2245]

I wouldn't worry too much about getting into a routine, especially if he has reflux. If he's sleeping for 12 hours through the night with 2 quick feeds he's doing really well! Alex never manages more than 8 hours with 2 feeds.

Has Ryan's mum turned up yet? Lol.

 

[Kaybee]

Well he thinks the (very nasty!) infection is gone and because the drum didnt burst there is still some fluid behind my ear and the only way for that to come out is along the tube to my nose. It might take a week or two. not sure why its still sore in my jaw but will see what the dentist says tomorrow

Good luck with your MIL!

 

[lj2245]

Jesus That sounds awful. I hope you feel better soon

 

[Kaybee]

Its no fun I can tell you. I never want this again. EVER!

 

[arlene]

Feel better soon Karen!

Hope the gaviscon works for Lewis Emma. James has his last feed 10/11, wakes at 3/4 and then again 6/7. I know I'm cheating myself slightly but it feels like I'm only up once through the night. If we have nothing on we usually go back to bed when John goes to work.

We've officially accepted an offer on our flat! Just need to put an offer in on the house we want and wait for the answer!! Super excited!!'xx

 

[bbymc]

I'm not worried. I just thought we had cracked it lol. Oh well. He's had a very different day today. Not slept much, but thankfully, hasn't been cranky either. My MIL is coming tomorrow now instead of today. I wish she wasn't coming at all lol.

Karen that sounds horrible! At least the infection is gone though!

Congratulations on the house sale Arlene! Exciting times ahead! Do you have a move out date?

 

[arlene]

We're just trying to hash out a price for the house we want. The buyer has suggested a date of the 26th of July but we'd like to bring it forward 2 weeks.

 

[bbymc]

So excited. We are getting the horrible huge trees in our garden cut down on Tuesday. Our garden will be lovely and sunny and we will be able landscape it never had a garden before lol, it's exciting!

How is everyone?

My MIL was good today. She actually listened. And of course, Lewis did everything I said he would. Fell asleep when I said he was tired, woke up when I said he was due a feed... She thankfully took a backseat and it was a nicer day all round. She wasn't all up in his face and stuff. I moved his basket though and I think where I moved it to made it harder for her to do that. Thank god.

In other news, I caught Ryan with one of my rings yesterday. He was taking it out his bag and said he had just 'borrowed it'. Here's hoping he 'borrowed' it to get it sized lol.

 

[lj2245]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! He's going to propose!!! Fan-bloody-tastic Hopefully he does it in a lovely, romantic way deserving of all your hard work over the last year

I have just cleaned my Dad's house from top to bottom. I will never be clean again

 

[Kaybee]

Eeeeeeeeeeee exciting emma!

Laura, how have things been with your dad. Is eveyone helping out like they are meant to?

We picked kaiden up from nursery and went for a picnic, play in the park and then for a walk along the river. Then i went to the dentist he doesnt think there is anything going on with my teeth so must be my ear. Think it seems a bit better today though.

 

[lj2245]

Aww I haven't been on a picnic in years Next sunny day I'm taking my boys for one!

Glad it's not your teeth causing you pain, will be much easier to fix if it's 'just' your ear causing it eh? Hopefully you'll feel better soon. Will you still be ok for Saturday?

My Dad and I are getting on great. He doesn't ask me to do as much but it doesn't mean he doesn't need as much done so I'm still doing the same stuff for him. My sisters have not helped in any way, shape or form and still ignore his phone calls. I'm really annoyed about it. Especially as my Dad gave my sister Carol a 50 inch tv he was no longer needing (he upgraded to a 60 inch) when he'd already said I could sell it for money for clothes for Alex. So nothing much has changed. I feel so sorry for him though. His house was disgusting because I was unable to clean it while I was pregnant and when I wasn't getting any sleep. He had asked about a home help but he's apparently not entitled because he gets the care element of DLA. We were going to pay someone but apparently no one is happy to come for 2 hours once a week, they all say it's not worth their while because we live so remotely and would have to be 4 hours once a fortnight. That isn't suitable though and he's not paying £120 a month to have his house cleaned once a fortnight. I did suggest he gives me the money but he just laughed Anyway, it's been cleaned and should be easy for me to keep on top of. All he does it watch tv.

 

[Kaybee]

Yeah I am still coming on saturday. I am so looking forward to meeting your babies and seeing you girls.

Aww thats not good that your sisters are not helping. Is it worth speaking to them about it?

We have had quite a few picnics lately. Kaiden loves it.

 

[bbymc]

Fingers crossed youre right. I'd hate to see him do that and then not propose lol

Good news about the dentist Karen, although 'just' earache really is no fun! Glad you can still make Saturday!

Laura thats terrible your sisters aren't helping! After everything, you would think they would help out, even just a bit. Especially since you've just had Alex and he is such high needs atm. Still, at least you and your dad are getting on.

How's Alex?

We were gona have a picnic today but it was really cloudy in the afternoon :-/

 

[lj2245]

Alex is ok!! I had some soya this afternoon and he was sick so I can add that to the list. He also has a terrible rash now.

There's no point in speaking to my sisters. I already have and it's clearly akin to talking to a brick wall.

 

[arlene]

Emma I hope we have an engagement ring to awww over when we see you on Saturday!! I love my engagement ring!!

Laura, try speaking to your sisters again. Like Emma said, you have enough on your plate with Alex being high needs

Karen I hope your ear is bettet soon! Glad you're still coming on saturday. I can't wait to see you all, especially since I missed the pre-baby meet!

We've decided to meet the sellers price of £80,500 so just waiting for her to accept. We're looking at moving on the 26th of July at the moment but trying to change it to the 11th or 12th xx
