Aww Suz- I'm sorry love You know I've been there (regularly) too- I know how hard it is! Is he just screaming?

 

[Peach Blossom]

Aw Suz, I'm sorry. Hope he sleeps soon. Xx

 

[SBB]

Hes been so good the last few nights, I've fed him in bed then put him in the cot and after messing around for a bit he's just gone to sleep.

But tonight I let him fall asleep on the boob for 10 mins then he was on my dress and I accidentally woke him getting it out from under him. Then he was just in his cot for ages whinging and playing, but then just didn't go to sleep.

He got more and more tired so started crying, anyway Danny took him to listen to some pink floyd and he's finally asleep now. And I'm going to sleep too!

What a shit day! Got fuck all done and ended with a 4 hour sleep battle

Oh well at least tomorrow can't be worse... Surely?!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

I'm sure tomorrow will be better Suz- you know how random these babies are

 

[Peach Blossom]

Sleep well Suz. it's the bloody full moon knocking them about I swear! Lili has been a real whingey woo for the last couple of days!! Xx

 

[babyloulou]

Ben's actually having the best evening for months- straight down at 7:30 with no wake ups so far. However..... that usually means come 2am he decides he's had enough sleep and the rest of the night is 5 hours of crying! I never get a good evening AND a good night!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Perhaps the full moon has the opposite affect on ben! you never know lou. Go to bed believing he'll sleep through and see what happens. Xx

 

[babyloulou]

Never Jess!!!

 

[kcw81]

Oh another full moon? Time is flying! Suz good luck and Lou quit jinxing Ben by stating that things are going well! I swear If you tell someone they are sleeping they wake up! Good night to all u and thanks again for pitching ideas about the bday.

 

[babyloulou]

Ooo I've thought of something else too Casey- what about a mousemat with a nice pic of him and Jimmy if he spends a lot of time on the computer?? X

 

[kcw81]

That's a good idea too! Hmm well save that one for the next occasion.

I would have suggested tickets to a sports game but you said he's a homebody so I think the other girls have good suggestions. I'm a puzzle person myself, lol. I obsessively sort them by color etc. Those mosaic ones are the hardest (where the image is made up of tiny images). Then there are the all-black ones but I think that is boring.

Love the hair Jess!
Sorry about the rough day Suz.

Daniel did pretty well at the drug lady's house. She didn't quite keep him on his routine but he was my happy baby when I got him home which is what matters in the end. He didn't get quite enough sleep it seems, woke up early from his last nap then slept in the car. He was a bit fussy for her but that is normal adjustment period. He was fussy when I picked him up but that's cuz he was tired.
Had a massive poop explosion in the carseat which required taking the whole thing apart. DH was no help with that of course...

 

[kcw81]

Pooseat! Yuck! Knock on wood I would hate that to happen! So glad it went decent today! Yay and Daniel was happy! That's key. That's cool he is gonna be well socialized soon. Jimmy is too sheltered and will be shy unless I start forcing people on him!

 

[lisaf]

I was still shy even though I went to daycare etc... it did make me pretty independent though.. never had to be taken home from a sleepover in the middle of the night.

We have a 'piddle pad' in the carseat which caught the last poo leak. This time it leaked out right around the bottom buckle.. so it leaked through the hole in the piddle pad, through the hole in the infant support, through the bottom carseat cover, all over the buckle/strap, even underneath the styrofoam part of the seat and even out the bottom.
When I brought Daniel home, Buster was all over him, sniffing and licking which I assumed was because the drug lady has dogs too so it smelled like other dogs, lol...
if only Buster had cleaned up the whole mess
I got it all over the other pieces to the carseat when I was trying to take off the soiled parts, so I had to wash just about every part. Our friends gave us their old carseat when their kid outgrew it.. having a 2nd seat is SO handy!!

 

[babyloulou]

Glad he went on ok Lisa! Sorry about the poo explosion!

Well we had a fantastic stretch from Ben! 8pm-3am without a single wake up- then exactly what I said would happen did! He wouldn't go back to bloody sleep! So 5am and here I am after a grand total of an hour and a half sleep myself!

 

[kcw81]

Lou pls explain why u don't sleep when he sleeps?

 

[lisaf]

If I were in your shoes Lou, I'd pass out the instant he did! I don't know how you function! (and I'm the one who has ritalin to help me out )

Which, by the way, my ritalin refills are ridiculous!!! They don't let you get refills at all. They also don't let the doctor fax in the prescription. I have to have a new prescription hand-written every month, either pick it up or have it mailed to me, and I have to walk it into the pharmacy myself. What a freaking pain in the butt!!!! And how is this drug prescribed for so many people?!?! I don't think it would be worth it!

Here's a pic of me nursing Daniel, with our cat Biff snuggled up against Daniel's back. Not exactly facebook material but thought you girls might like it!

[lisaf]

oh, and I totally have 'mommy thumb' (tendonitis) ... stupid heavy baby, lol
Its so freaking painful right now though.. I wore a brace all day and it didn't really help.

 

[Onelildream]

Cute pic Lisa!

Sorry bout the crappy sleepers Lou and Suz.

and Jess, I hope things are getting better over there. I'm so excited about ur fundraiser! Wish I lived closer!

Kc- we got Lars a BBQ grill a couple weeks ago. Best investment ever! He now does all the cooking!

My little girl got tons of new clothes for school and a backpack. Tears. Off to bed so I can run in the morning... Blah! Running makes me swear!

 

[SBB]

Chell is she excited about school?
I forgot to answer your question about what I picked out from the antique place - I didn't get anything in the end I wanted this cool old fold out sewing box, but it was pretty big and not really my style so I left it. Will maybe get one from eBay...

Lisa I'm glad it went well with the drug lady! Would be funny if she found out you call her that!

Well done Ben for staying asleep a while. Not so well done for staying awake after
Why do you go to bed so late?!

Sammuel did well and slept til 4am I think after he'd finally gone to sleep...

Right I need to get LOADS of work done today!

Been thinking lots about Cat and Kinley and hope they're doing well. UKers when are you sending me your cards?

And where are Ellen and Laura?
