I'm sure if you had known he was there you would have been more alert to him, as long as your OH knows that in the future if he puts Alex in bed he needs to wake you up and tell you, sort the pillows etc. Don't worry An early night sounds good though, I just has a chocolate pudding and I think I'll be off to bed when Steve goes to work in an hour.
I'm surprised he didnt realise thats not like me in the slightest, I must have said it in my sleep! I'm on the waiting list 
I nearly went to an under 1s group today but I wasnt sure if I had to register becasue there's a contact name and no so I'll call her in the week 
hope you have a better night 
that must have been so scary Good news that your hubby is getting the winter tyres sorted out tomorrow 
I think a letter of complaint is totally justified. Also they have mis-sold you the car if you agreed to purchase it based on a mileage of 30K and it is actually 13K higher. Surely that voids any contract you had with them or at least means that they should have to be willing to negotiate it with you - I wonder if the sale is covered by trading standards regulations 
I am gutted to hear that Oliver's sleeping has not been up to his usual high standards, fingers crossed he gets back to normal nice and quickly for you. I sing allsorts to poor Joni SHe loves twinkle twinkle little star with the hand actions. Regulars on mummy's playlist are horsey horsey, animal fair, sing a song of sixpence, row row row your boat, three blind mice. When I was pregnant I came across a cd by Renee and Jeremy called "its a big world" which is just gorgeous. When Joni had colic I would play the cd and sing along and it was pretty much the only thing that would get her to sleep. There are so many lyrics in the songs which I still tear up over when I sing them to her "We are one and that's wonderful, you are you, and theres never gonna be anyone like you. Wherever you go, whatever you see, however you grow you're a part of me" 
It is so hard surviving on such a small amount of sleep particularly when the quality of the sleep is so poor too 
Every night I say a little pretty please to the universe for all our babies to sleep better I hope you manage to get more rest tonight oh and enjoy the half baked Mmmmmmmm thats my favorite 
I used to love phish food but when our dog died many moons ago my mum bought us that as a treat to take our minds off losing Fox and now I can't bear to eat it 
I will try again tomorrow! I have to say that Joni's feeding and general mood seems to have been better the last couple of days. Hopefully that will be reflected in her sleeping at some point (soon!!)) then in the afternoon we met a couple of the mum's and babies we know from my pregnancy yoga class and we had a walk round one of the lakes close by. This evening hubby and I have pottered around the house and watched the latest SGU episode (we are sci-fi nerds ) Hubby has retired to bed as he took over with Joni for me at 4.30 this morning - she was wide awake in bed chatting to herself and hubby went in to check on her and she was awake because she had done a massive poo that had run out of the nappy and down one of her legs 
it took him half and hour to change and re-dress her, then he gave her half a feed and she went back to sleep until 6.45 Joni has been waking loads in the evening between bedtime and her last feed but tonight I have not heard a peep out of her lets hope this is a sign of a good night ahead 
At this point I clean / apply for jobs / fart around on internet a bit if nothing left to do.
Oh, and you nearly set me off with those lyrics lol! You are one busy lady! I really struggle to get any kind of a routine (we have a very, very flexible one lol!) - with Steve working nights I'm quite restricted to what I can do in the day - we have to be quite quiet and I can't really go into our bedroom for laundry etc, and I can't hoover or anything. I tend to get the quiet things done - like dusting, washing up etc, while Steve is in bed and then the rest when he is awake. We also have piles of junk every where
However, I imagine that with 3 little ones to care for super-organisation is the only way to keep on top of things. Joni has her feeds and naps at more-or-less the same time every day give or take an hour which should help me get into my own routine with housework etc. However her night time sleep has been so poor recently I have been napping when she sleeps I am the one with the black and white picture which looks nothing like me in real life I am such a softie with the lyrics and a lot of things really. I was never very weepy before being pregnant but now I cry at the drop of a hat. Hubby texted me yesterday to say some friends of ours we know through work had had their baby and I burst into tears reading it and spent the whole afternoon having a little weep everytime I thought about it Joni had a couple of weeks of whimpering and crying in her sleep and it was really hard to soothe her because she was asleep I am pretty sure it was her teeth bothering her. Lucky you Oliver sleeping until 7 then until 10 Joni woke up at 5.40 as she had pooped. She usually gets up for the day between 6-6.45 so by the time her bum was changed it was 6 so she had a slightly earlier start today.
I just gave Joni her feed and put her down to nap and it is hard to believe she is the same baby that 6 months ago was in the NICU , still being called Wee-J at the time, struggling to breathe and being tube fed as she was too tired and weak to feed. I have to say that the last 6 months have been harder and more challenging than I could have ever imagined, however I love Joni with every cell in my body and she is worth everything a million times over 
I might even push my luck and have pudding I took a video of him earlier, its too cute! I want your opinions please! My friend had her first baby on Wednesday. We met up while she was pregnant and she said she really wanted to breastfeed, and we had a good chat about it. So she text on Wednesday night and said she was doing okay but struggling with the b'feeding, so I offered support, told her it gets easier etc. I text her today to see how she was doing and she said that baby was using her as a dummy, so she had started combi feeding to give her poor nipples a break. Now I know that babies suckle loads at four days because you're milks just coming in and they need to establish your supply - I wouldn't have know that if a breastfeeding support lady hadn't explained it to me (my friend is in a different area and has no b'feeding support ). So I text back explaining - in a nice way - that thats normal etc. I also asked if she was expressing, she said she had a pump so I said to pump when baby has a bottle to encourage supply and let baby suckle as much as she could. I also suggested nipple shields - baby is having a bottle so nipple confusion isn't really a reason not to use them. She didn't know about nipple shields, so I've sent her all the details etc. I just don't want her to think I'm preaching - do you know what I mean? She didn't actually ask for help - but she isn't getting the info I got which I feel is really unfair. I just want to help but I don't want her to feel like I'm shoving my nose in. Should I have kept my mouth shut or was I right to offer advice?
wow, what a whirlwind. I can still remember CactusGirl telling us you'd gone into labour I'm rubbish at schedules, although in the week we do have the same morning routine and school pick up routine. I've realised 3 children means things need to be a bit less chaotic so I am going to try to get my girls to do as they are told first time (hmmm... I'm dubious about my success chances )
I'm sure you're right )
poor things. then we got the stove and its lovely, it heats most of the house, our bedroom is above the lounge and that gets toasty warm too. I'm a bit worried about when Alex can crawl though
