Daniel is throwing full on tantrums when I don't let him have something or take it away... red in the face, tears streaming down etc.
The only thing that seems to calm him down is singing to him maybe get some music he likes blasting and play it/talk to him etc?

What seat are you using that is so reclined? Can it be made more upright? (I know some seats require a deep recline for when they are tiny, but once they have proper head control you can push the seat upward more.

I'm dealing with full-on separation anxiety right now... I have to leave him screaming sometimes because I have to put my pumped milk away in the fridge or wash up his high chair tray because he needs to eat soon etc

Is it sad that I have to come on here to find out how pregnant I am?

Lou someone gave us this funny guitar that plays music and we keep it in the car. Sammuel plays with it every time, I think it's because he doesn't have it any other time. Maybe try a car only fun / noisy toy?

Lisa I haven't found separation anxiety phases lasted long (so far!) so hopefully he'll be ok soon!

[lisaf]

oh yeah... that woman who writes that funny blog has the fisher price laugh and learn puppy as the car-only toy because her son ADORES it and hates the car with a passion, lol... good idea Suz!!

I often had to come on here to find out how pregnant I was, lol... and how many weeks Daniel was after the first 12, lol.

I wish things like that worked for Ben but he honestly doesn't like any toys really He hates music being played (I've even got a special nursery rhyme album on my iPod in the car). He's a very awkward baby. It's not just in the car to be honest- he gets harder all the time!! He won't play independently much at all (unless it doing something he shouldn't- which I have to resort to letting him sometimes just so I can wee!)

Honestly he's so hard! He screams if I try to make a cup of tea if I'm not holding him at the same time! I have to hold him 9 hours a day until Ste gets in then he has to! He's crippling my back! :-/

He's very whingy and unhappy at the moment! Even more than usual!

Suz- I used to have to come on here to see how many weeks old Ben was too! I've only stopped doing that since I've been doing it in months instead of weeks!

 

[SBB]

Aw Lou do you think it's a phase of separation anxiety? Or he's just grumpy?!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

He's always been like this really Suz! He's definitely a high-maintenance baby!! I've still not cooked a single meal since he's been born- he just won't let me!!! :-/

 

[SBB]

Jeez Lou I don't know how you cope! What if you put him in the high chair and entertain/feed him while cooking?!

[lisaf]

I'd go nuts Lou...

 

[Euronova]

Lou, do you ever loose your temper? I don't mean physically (hopefully) but just scream yourself too! I'd go nuts!!!

I'm half way today!!!
Now keep everything crossed that my friend gets to land at London City later on and that we manage to get her from there!!!

 

[babyloulou]

I've never lost my temper with Ben V but I have taken it out on Ste a few times!

After my moaning though he was in a lovely mood yesterday afternoon and this morning!

I hope your friend makes it!

Happy half way day!!

This time last year I was in my 8th hour of labour- with another 16 hours left to go. Can't believe it was a year ago!

 

[Euronova]

God 16 more hours!!! the great thing is that i have heard so much about long labours that i am expecting to be in no less than 24 hours labour myself Would be strange though if i had a super quick one! My sister in law nearly gave birth in the waiting room of the maternity with her first, her second was so fast and so easy she said the next one, she will have in the forest (they are keen hunter/horse rider/campers)

Ordered some apple green blackout blinds for the baby's room, as i found them online I am not sure how nice they will be, but i have plenty of time to return them if they are crap.

We are getting the new windows in a couple of weeks and then we can start slowly moving things round and decorating the room

 

[SBB]

It's nearly bens birthday!!

I still don't have a blind up in Sammuels room but he never sleeps in there so I don't suppose it matters!

I want to go to London for the Facebook nurse in tomorrow, but I am exhausted and don't know if I can face trains/tube etc. but I really want to go!

Hey ladies. Lili didn't sleep at all at nursery today... She only had 1oz of milk too... She was in such a state when I went to pick her up. She was asleep before we got on the train poor little nugget.

She was so good for her MMR on Friday too. She only cried for a minute. A sponge finger went a long way to helping minimise the tragedy! She doesn't seem to have been too affected by it either. No temp or grizzliness. Phew!

Started thinking about the Baby Loss Concert for this year... Don't know why I put myself under so much pressure, but I just feel compelled to do it. Check out Ed Sheeran, Little Bump, on YouTube. Going to try and get him to sing it at the concert. It's beautiful.

 

[SBB]

Aw how come she didn't sleep?

Sammuel had some jabs today but not mmr. He's quite unsettled tonight am laying in bed with him now

Will you do the concert again then? Did you make money in the end? I think that's the song V said about ages ago?

I am feeling pretty down I think it's finally starting to dawn on me that I am actually pregnant, and I have no idea how we'll cope. Sammuel takes up every minute, how is there time for another one?! I've been in some little bubble where it's not really real... But it is real! I don't feel like I can cope with another one on my own when Danny goes back to work after 6 weeks

Ps Jess I've been reading your blog

I have the CD, I loved that song instantly until I realised what it was about. It's a beautiful song but it is just too emotional for me to listen to it right now. X

 

[Euronova]

Suz, I think it's fairly normal to panic at this stage. It all seems more real now. I am sure you will do great, it will be a new routine but you will adapt I am sure
