[emera35]

D'awww, Roh has two wooden firemen, which he loves, they are one of his favourite toys! He's just made one of them walk to F and say hello, and then told it to look after her and put it in her hand!!! Amazing feat of sharing for a 2 year old!!

 

[firsttimer1]

Glow keep us updated when consultant gets back to you hun and enjoy having fun with your girls! xxx ps. great weight for J!!!

Im just getting a Roux fix

edit to add: awwww emera, that is just the cutest thing xxx

 

[MissyBlaze]

Omg! Oh has said we should have take away pizza tonight. I'm going to have something awesome... what would you have? I need you find a pizza hut voucher too.

 

[firsttimer1]

i would have the ''king of the coast posh pizza''..... YUM!!!!

 

[firsttimer1]

OOOOOOOOOooooo and the bbq chicken wings as a side.

 

[wondertwins]

Lads!

Hope everyone is doing well. I started a long response earlier and lost it. Bah.

Emera- That is so sweet of Roh.

Glow- Have fun with the girlies, and keep us updated on things with the consultant.

Smiles- I *think* I added you on FB. My profile pic is hard to miss as I have two cuties in it. I saw that Lozza had a new friend with the initials CS. Hopefully that's you! Otherwise, one of Lozza's friends must think I'm a bit nuts.

FT- Don't worry too much about the weight loss plateau just yet. Weight fluctuates so much based on the time of day and the stage of digestion of your last meal (TMI?). So, it's best to look at the trend over a few weeks before you need to worry about a plateau. Oh, and you'll definitely not hear me saying the 30 day shred is easy! It kicked my butt when I did it! However, I did get to a point where I enjoyed it rather than dreading it. (About 7 days in)

Missy- K is really close to rolling over from back to tummy too. At night he keeps rolling onto his side and really arching his back trying to get to his tummy. I know he'll sleep so much better once he can roll freely. Although sleeping on their backs helps prevent SIDS, sleep studies show that sleeping on one's back is pretty much the worst way to sleep for every other thing.

There was so much more that I planned to respond to... but I've forgotten.

AFM... our night was a little better (fewer paci wakings), and I'm now convinced that K is going through a growth spurt. Yesterday, he ate an entire extra bottle and he had some cereal. It still only held him until 1:40 a.m. (He used to sleep until 4:00 or later.) Plus, the daycare said, he was getting really hungry after only 2.5 to 3 hours where he used to go 3 to 4 hours between bottles. So...I'm hoping that we can adjust the amount of food he's getting in the day, and he'll settle back into a good nighttime routine. FX!!! Of course, as soon as he does, I'm sure it will be time for P to have a growth spurt.

 

[MissyBlaze]

I can't see king of the coast. I'm well excited. We watched man v food yesterday and it made us both NEED pizza!

 

[lozza1uk]

Yippeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
It popped! At last!!! Thank god I don't have to accept glows kind offer. In the end I shoved savoy cabbage down my bra and then fed lying down half an hour later.

Sorry for posting about nothing else all day

 

[MissyBlaze]

Oh lozza, was it amazing? I bet it felt ace.

Pizza ordered, Cajun chicken Sizzler for me... yum!

 

[citymouse]

.

 

[wondertwins]

Mouse- K & G must be tracking each other since they shared due dates. Awww.

Lozza- So glad you're no longer in pain!! But tales of Glow using her milking skills would have been that of legend. Next time, Glow. Next time.

Missy- Every time we watch man v. food, I am torn between the twin desires of pigging out and puking. Do you watch the barefoot contessa? She makes me want to eat seriously yummy things.

 

[citymouse]

Oh, FT, meant to say keep at it! Imagine how great it will feel on day 30 when you can rock it out!

 

[MissyBlaze]

I don't think we have that... I love mvf though. Adam was on my boys names list ha ha. Oh is a vegetarian but swears he could eat anything on there in hismeat eating days.

 

[lozza1uk]

Don't worry folks the CS on FB is definitely smiley!
I've never heard of man vs food. Something to look for once the Olympics are over.
Missy - it did feel amazing. I suddenly heard him swallowing really fast and felt a lovely deflating sensation. Aaaahhh. He finished feeding and actually smiled at me for ages. I've not seen a drunk on milk smile for a while!

 

[loolindley]

Takes me all day to catch up!! I need to give up my life!

Lozza, do you want me to pop into Tescos for something? It wouldn't be a problem?

FT, are you drinking plenty of water? You could also be plateauing because you don't have that much to lose. I am still losing as I'm an elephant still.

You lads doing shred are hardcore. I hate you!

Emera, hope you got the fence sorted?

Glow. Hilarious. Seriously.

Missy, I want pizza oh said no because I'd told him in a moment of madness that I wanted to stick to my diet 100% until we go on holiday. Boooooooooooooo. I'm so jealous.

Our feeds have gone from 40 mins to 15-20. She just isn't bothered

 

[MissyBlaze]

Our feeds last about 5 minutes. Its weird.

The pizza was amazing, best I've had in yonks, thick crust and loads of cheese.

T is asleep on his front again. Its so cute, he looks all grown up

 

[lauraclili]

My baby is officially weird. No naps all day and then she self-settles. If she can sleep now why not the rest of he time when she's tired!? (unless she's just desperate by this time of nit!)

Thanks for all your tips earlier.

I think I'm going to have to get really strict about timings of naps. She used to be fine but has been fighting them more and more recently. She won't take swaddling but does sleep better in the dark so I've tended to put her to bed in her room with the blackout lpblind down. She'll often fall asleep on my boob but when I try to put her down she starts screaming again. She used to like sleeping on her side but since she's starting rolling she can't cope with that because she just rolls on her front and starts yelling. Sigh. I don't know what to do today has been a very long day.

Enough about me... Sorry.

Pizza sounds amazing. I had a burger for dinner today. It was lush but so, so naughty!

Feeding is going ok here. I think she's feeding to stay awake! strange how the weather/heat affects them.

Lozza, glad you're sorted. I as going to suggest cabbage!

30 day shred sounds brilliant, if a little hard core. I've started running again. Yay! I'm tempted by the DVD too as I'm determined to lose my tummy flab. You'll have to review it for me!

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

evening lads!

im so proud of R - he came second in Bonny Baby competition (and the winner was a girl, so he was the bonniest boy!) he won some nice blanket comforters and rattle from Mothercare! it was amazing, i only did it for a bit of a laugh and there were sooo many babies (really cute newborny ones too)!

glad you enjoyed your pizza missey, its too hot for me to eat pizza, just salad and a pork chop for me followed by raspberries and strawberries and thick cream! yum

 

[Nicnak282]

Yay Lozza for boob-deflation x Seriously glad you're feeling better and Z obviously was a happy lad after his big feed!

Glowie nevermind...maybe next time you can use your milking skills...!!!

Food porn...I made a well lush spag bol this evening with red wine and home-baked bread ...could do a slice of pizza though...just as a pudding!!! Also I now have some AD butterscotch in, thanks Emera! Need to make up and freeze...mmmmmmm

Okie-dokie...so sorry lads but here comes another rant!!!! Please feel free to ignore the rest of this!!!

I have just had yet another arguement with OH. He worked from home today (i.e. took himself off golfing as he needed a break...). A has been a handful the last few days so I'm not feeling my best but as he was out I took A grocery shopping then back home she grizzled as she was hot and wouldn't nap even tho she was shattered. When he came home I cooked dinner and asked if he could feed A before we sat down for dinner so we could enjoy it. Came and told him dinner was ready and there he was on his laptop and A was propped up drooling on sofa being ignored and had not had her bottle. As soon as we started to eat she was of course hungry, poor lil lady. So I rushed mine and then fed her. Then I washed and cleaned up and then took her up for her bath and creamed her (she has some baby excema) and he said he'd get her down whilst I put fresh sheets on our bed...he came in and snapped that I was making too much noise so her took her back downstairs!!! I followed after I'd made up bed and he propped her on sofa again and was reading newspaper!! He said she'd got too much energy and wasn't tired...no Sherlock she was overtired and needed settling. So I picked her up and started to rock/ soothe her. He then went and had a buggering shower (what I wanted to do whilst he supposedly put her to bed!!). A si now sleeping, I'm seething and he is watching tv - loudly...prick.

See told you I was on a rant. Thing is he never ever gets up during a night-feed (at weekend) as he said he needs a break as he works hard and I get to have breaks every day...I am starting to feel very resentful and like I just cannot communicate with him. I know we need to speak but at the moment I cannot even look at him when he does things (or not). Are all men just basically selfish creatures? I just do not recognise him at times anymore which is so sad.

OK.....enough me, me, me...really sorry but needed to get it out and you lads are such good listeners!

Sorry lovelies, I will pick myself up - I'll probably feel better after a night's sleep and a rest (ha!)

Sleep tights babes and mummies xxxxx

 

[lauraclili]

Nicnsk, I'm so sorry that you've had a crappy day. If its an consolation my DH is just the same. Would rather finish a cup of tea than look after a screaming A. Says he was going to her after he'd finished. Grr. And yesterday he told me I was being basically selfish all the time because I got out to baby classes and am nt at home waiting for him when he gets in from work. Much as I love him he's a dick sometimes. And yes, I think all men are basically stuck as about nine year olds but I'm sure someone will have some comfort and a different aged DH!

I just think that men don't get the constant attention that babies need. I'm starting to really worry about this as my DH is a sahd from September.

Hugs to you though. I sometimes wish for dinner without interruptions!
