Mummy- we only have one car- and I am hell and gone from ANYTHING- there is a convenience store about 3/4 of a mile away... I suppose I could go there? But on a good pelvis day... when it's not pissing rain... oh and I have no way of carting the double stroller up and down the stairs by myself- not to mention just getting the BABIES up and down the stairs without having to leave one at the bottom of the stairs while I run the other up, etc. I am a shut in
I live in the next town over from most of my friends and all of our family. It's only 12 miles or so, but you would think it's the moon how they all act! I haven't seen my mom since 3 days before Christmas!
EEK at a pool! You mean you'll have your own in the backyard??? Does it have a fence?

 

[harveydog]

Harvey- my plan is to get this list out within this next week- I still need to hear from a fair few of you, though
I have Brandi, Harvey, New, Mummy Wud, Wiggler, Milos-
so, Inge? 24? Wild? Charlotte? Anyone??? Ummmm, how bout Lisa? (I should message her and let her know we're doing this, huh? lol) We're kind of a dwindled group now, But I want to make sure no one who wants to participate gets left out!

My guess is he will be a floor dweller for a week And he slept in my recliner last night (He hasn't slept with me in months- heaven forbid he get up with the girls at night ) And I'm sure the chair will get old fast! lol

Why doesn't he sleep in your bed? Avoiding getting up with the twins I hope he pulls his weight on his days/nights off

ooh I'd love a pool, especially Harvey he loves swimming! My SIL from Egypt has one and it's lovely but her egyptian hubby heats it up, even in the summer

I see where your coming from now can't you nag Aaron or bethy to help you get out at least once a week for an hour or so

I cant believe your mam hasn't been to see her grandkids since christmas, her loss at missing them cuties growing up!

 

[harveydog]

Hubby and SD just gone to pick up a dominos but I've got to settle for pepperoni as we are all sharing I love chicken, mushroom n garlic

 

[Wiggler]

Baking was fun, Dylan and Bethany helped stir, well actually Bethany just waved to spoon around I am a mean mummy though and not letting Bethany have any, but did treat her to some pineapple instead which she LOVES!

Had a nice time with my mum, we went for a walk and had lunch at tesco, the kids were angels. I treated them both to new blankies, Dylan got a Thomas and friends one and Bethany got a tinkerbelle one, but Dylan doesn't like his and has been clutching his old one for dear life since I showed him the new one, Oh well, its snuggly and soft so can be my new sofa blankie to snuggle under in the evenings Bethany loves her one and has been snuggling it all afternoon

Got a phone call off the HA this morning, she said she talked to the neighbors yesterday and the woman was very understanding, but Dylan woke up VERY upset this morning, he isn't well and so as you can imagine was crying and tantruming a lot so the woman at the HA ended up with a very abusive phone message at 4.30am. The neighbors have declined mediation, but she is going to set up a meeting between us all. She also recommended I get to the doctors, get any sort of note I can about my knee and pelvis and try to move, and until we do manage to move she is going to put forward a request for funding for thick acoustic underlay and thick carpet as our underlay and any carpet we could afford wouldn't stop much sound, she said it will probably be declined, but its worth a try.

Booking a doctors appointment on Tuesday for me and Dylan, me for my pelvis and knee and Dylan for his early waking, I am going to push for a referal to someone for him, because its now getting to the point where he can't stay awake in the afternoons, and nothing I do stops him napping He is utterly exausted, we all are.

There is only one thing I haven't tried now to get him to sleep longer, I am avoiding it cos it WILL cause even worse problems in the long run and thats me sleeping in his bed with him, its a toddler bed and squishing up in that woud kill my pelvis, but I am almost at the point of trying it.

Oooh essay, sorry

 

[BrandiCanucks]

How do you all put your LOs down for a nap? and where?

I just lay her down. She pops her thumb in her mouth and puts herself to sleep. Unless the older two wake her, she'll nap for 2-3 hours.

By the way heyy I've started buying 1st birthday cards so I hope we go ahead with this plan

Same.

Harvey- my plan is to get this list out within this next week- I still need to hear from a fair few of you, though

Wild? Lisa?

I see Lisa in the Baby Club often, not sure why she doesn't stop in here anymore. Would LOVE to hear about Daniel some more! As for Wild, I think she's going through some tough times right now, so I don't know when/if she'll stop in.

 

[mummy3]

Heyy I see where you're coming from now. I have done a second floor with double stroller and its a nightmare! Hope your hubby works something out so you can get out more, you must get awful cabin fever. Sorry about your mom not visiting

Yes its our own pool in the backyard, got a jacuzzi too There is fencing but I'm still wary so swimming lessons for sure!

Harvey, why would they heat it in summer? Your chicken pizza sounds way better than pepperoni lol

 

[mummy3]

Aww hope Lisa and wild pop on again

Wiggler Glad they had fun baking! Really hope that the doctor offers help and advice, it can only help right! Fingers crossed you get an actual house very soon!

 

[24/7]

Can't Dylan sleep in with you and chuck OH out to the sofa? Hope the doctors can help you both, and I know you didn't want to take Dylan, but I do think its for the best.

I go out everyday too, and usually go to something or see someone - Sam loves socialisig and its nice to get out and about. xx

 

[Wiggler]

I don't think it will be soon, it'll be years probably, but I am doing everything I can to get Dylan sleeping later and the housing association know that. They are being really supportive.

 

[Wiggler]

Dylan has only slept in my bed once since he was 6 months old (his choice) and that was this week and when he woke up he went beserk, He will only sleep with someone next to him if its in his bed, dunno why. Plus, the neighbors have already said to the HA they don't want Dylan in our room cos its above their kids room and they don't want thier kids woken up.

 

[24/7]

Sam is the same, and throws a huge hissy fit whenever I give up putting him back to bed and bring him in with me, and the last time he actually slept with me as the day of my birthday in october!!

Would Dylan get up and play quietly in his roomown on his ? Or does he want your attention? Its so so difficult?! Sam is an awful sleeper and if he wakes anytime after 4, he just decides its daytime, even though he is tired and then moans. What about a gro clock? You set it to change colour, as in you can set it to change from blue to yellow at 6am.... So if Dylan wakes up and its still blue and the moon he has to stay in bed, and go back to sleep, but its its yellow already when he wakes up with the sun then he can get up straight away. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRO-CLOC...A%2BFICS%2BUFI&otn=21&pmod=320728573941&ps=54 xx

 

[mummy3]

Ooh I love that gro clock, looks cool!

Thats good the HA are on your side and also that the kids are not being woken

24, hows Sams walking now?

He hates cold water they even have the heating on on a summers night but it only gets cool he even bought himself a diving suit to stop getting cold !

 

[harveydog]

Aww hope Lisa and wild pop on again
!

I haven't gone anywhere lol (I'm Lisa too)

 

[Wiggler]

He won't play quietly in his room, if he is up then he wants us up too. Tried a gro clock, it never worked and after 2 weeks he broke it. putting him back in bed doesnt work, reward chartsm, moving bedtime back and forward, moving dinner time, snack before bed, waking him in the night to use the loo, more activity, less activity, making his room lovely, moving his room around, talking to him about how its too early to get up etc etc doesn't work.

He used to wake up early (5.30-6am) and play in his cot, then the neighbors in the old place started their crap so we put him in a bed (really regretting it now) and his sleep has been awful ever since. We think its habit for him to wake that time now as he is so tired through the day, we just need to know how to break it

 

[mummy3]

Glad you're not going anywhere

Strange man needing a diving suit in Egypt!
