I've got that book, I think I'll try it the end of this week or next week I think i'll go through the book I've got jars as well but ideally I don't want to use them yet. Do you think it's alright giving it to her after her 12:30 feed or would after her 8:30 feed be better?
Sorry for all the questions just want to get things right

Morning!

Well the night went a little better than it started

Oliver settled properly by about midnight, before that he was sleeping on and off from about 10pm but he kept waking up and really, really crying, it was awful He then woke up when Steve got home at about 4am and but was all happy, he had a feed and I snuggled him in with me for the rest of the night, and we got up at half eight. So still a decent ish night for me - I was expecting no sleep at all.

I'm pretty sure that it is his teeth but there is no sign of them at all! Did you all see some sign of a tooth before it popped through?

He's been fine this morning, he didn't eat that much breakfast but had a massive milk feed and is his normal happy little self. He is a bit snuffly though so I guess that doesn't help.

Amy how is Lyra this morning? I hope she's okay!

CG I forgot to say yesterday - I'm glad you like my website And I'm not that organised - I'd like to be though

I have to wait in for a courier today so no plans other than that, as it all depends on what time they come. Might go for a walk later on, its a lovely day though that might not last, haha!

And I have no idea what is all about

 

[Sarahwoo]

Oh, also, I just bought one of these for Oliver as they are a bit of a bargain lol! I thought it would be good for in the puchchair / car. . . .

[maybebaby3]

ooh sarah i like your bargain i may get one for owen for xmas!!! also do you have a sophie the giraffe? owen loves chewing on her for his teething.

hannah - i would go with the midday meal but it's up to you.

 

[Frufru]

Joni was a bit snuffly last night but her temperature was normal then hubby said that when his wisdom teeth play up he gets congested and looking on google congestion without a fever can be a teething symptom.

I hope your courier comes soon Sarah so you are not obliged to stay at home if you don't want to.

Joni managed the whole baby yoga session but I had to talk to her, saying her name over and over, in the car the whole way home to keep her awake. She only took 4 minutes to fall asleep once I put her down in her cot.

I love the firefly Sarah, I think I might get one for Joni at that price Joni already has this lamaze toy which she loves https://www.amazon.co.uk/Learning-C...f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=baby&qid=1289914205&sr=8-1 it would be handy to have another. Like Maybebaby says it can double up as a christmas present too which will keep me in hubbies good books

AH spoke too soon, JOni has just woken after 1/2 hour she is struggling to stay asleep again bless her. Bloomin teeth

 

[x__Hannah__x]

Frufru - Amelia's granny bought that Lamaze toy and she loves it Hope you had fun at the baby yoga, stupid question but what do you actually do? I would love to take Amelia to something like that

Amelia's teething bad today bless her, crying in pain, just given her some gel and she's drifting off to sleep She's just had some banana porridge again and each day it's becoming more successful not so much mess today

 

[maybebaby3]

hannah - glad the weaning is going well

frufru - to teething. interesting to hear that about the congestion. owen's really snuffly and irritable. poor sophie the giraffe bears the brunt of his chomping

owen's fallen asleep on me. i bet he wakes the second i put him down. my mum is taking erin to dance class so i can take dylan to his friend's bday party which is at the same time as dance. MIL coming round to look after owen whilst we go. all systems go! better put owen down and pray he stays asleep. need to wrap the present, get dylan ready and prepare kids food for tonight!

 

[Frufru]

Thanks to your previous suggestion Maybebaby I have put some snufflebabe on Joni which has helped the congestion today I hope Owen stayed asleep for you.

Hannah the class I go to is a mixture of yoga for Mums and babies with lots of singing. We start with some posture work for Mum's, how to protect your back etc when lifting and moving around with your babies which is combined with some singing and movement to keep the babies entertained. We then move onto some moves for the babies which we do with singing too. The moves are supposed to encourage the babies to relax, stretch and move. Then some moves for Mums then some relaxation and cuddle time. I really enjoy the sessions, maybe you could see if there is a class in your area and contact the instructor about going for a taster session to see if you like it before you commit to an entire course? I love the class and really wish I had started when Joni was younger as she was really tense as a little baby and I think she would have really benefitted from it - better late than never I suppose

Bless Joni, she has only had a 20min nap since her half hour at 1pm. She is well grumpy now, I am worried she will not drink her last feed as she is so tired and she has only taken 3 x 5oz feeds today. We have had a lovely day though.

My yoga teacher emailed me today to ask if I would bake some cakes for the yoga retreat on the weekend, I feel really honoured that she likes my baking that much

Have a lovely evening everyone.

Just a quick one from me- Sarah and Summer are home at last after blood transfusions and a nebuliser yesterday . So pleased. Just put Daisy in bed and nipping up to Sarah's to help her with Summer's bath because her boyfriend is working and she's nervous! Hope you're all great :kisses:

 

[maybebaby3]

frufru - can i have some cakes?

katie - how great is it to help your sis? my sis doesnt want kids my SIL is in uni and doesnt want them for another 10 years!

 

[emera35]

Argh i'm still feeling rotten, cold has turned into another chest infection Roh has been driving me absolutely crazy today! I feel really guilty, but he's just been a nightmare, and i'm too under the weather to deal with it His new noise is screaming at the top of his voice, and i mean proper screaming, like a girl in a horror film, it keeps scaring the hell out of me, because i think there is something wrong, but he's all proud of himself afterwards He's been doing it none stop, well, between grumping about his teeth, and refusing to nap, and generally grizzling all day. Ah well, i know us Mummies aren't really allowed to be ill. I'm sure i'll feel better tomorrow! At least i have the spa day to look forwards to, it should help me feel better. Well as Roh is asleep and all the housework he wouldn't let me do today is now done, i think i'll crawl into bed and die!

God i sound like my OH when he has man flu ignore me!

Night all

 

[Sarahwoo]

Emera, I hope you feel better soon! Oliver does that screaming thing too - its a real awful screech - and when he starts doing it he just doesn't stop It always gives me headache

Bedtime tonight took 20 minutes, and he's only woken up once so far. I moved his bath back an hour so he'd be tired (naughty mummy!) but he was fast asleep for half seven! So - touch wood - it seems last night was just a blip.

Amy how are you hun? And how is Lyra? Big hugs to your household

I've just been talking to my mum about me going back to work, argh I just don't know what I'm going to do! I think I really need to go into work and discuss the options with them. Ideally I need to get some more weddings booked in for next year. I have a wedding show booked for January and I'm going to get doing some marketing, if I can get a decent amount of bookings confirmed I could not go back. Oh every time I think about it it messes my head up, I think I need to write all the numbers down and the pros and cons. Argh!!!

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - i sooooooo dont want to go back to work but i need to financially unfortunately. hope you can sort out enough weddings so you can resign!!!

emera - get well soon! oh and sod the housework!!!

owen is sleeping..........for now! he's woken 3 times so far. i fed him once and managed to settle him with his dummy the other two times. off to bed now as it's almost midnight here!

 

[maybebaby3]

oh and the screaming thing has to be a developmental thing as owen has been doing that lately too!!! keep thinking the window panes are going to shatter!

 

[A3my]

Evening ladies,

My laptops playing up a bit so I hope I get to post before it dies!

CG - glad you had a lovely day with Che
maybe - to another bad night. I dont know how you manage! you are a true super mum!!
frufru - yummy, I'd like to try your cakes glad you enjoyed baby yoga
Hannah - poor Amelia, I hope she settles down ok x
emera - poor you have you got antibiotics? dont worry about housework when you are feeling rough, you need your energy for getting better
sarah - for your bad ish night last night. Alex's gums were a bit swollen/raised the day or so before the teeth popped through. I had to sign a form to say when I'd go back to work last week and then my manager rang me to confirm there would be no changes to my contract. I felt a bit pressurised to make a decision when I'm lightly considering dropping a day. Its just horrible trying to work out what best isnt it.
Katie - your sister is very lucky to have you there for support and guidance. It will be lovely for Daisy to have a cousin so close in age
H&F - hope you are ok xxx

Lyra seems a lot better today. Her tummy was really swollen last night and she was passing a lot of blood. the vet said to rest her tummy so we didnt feed her last night and DH had to come down to her a few times in the night because she was crying but she's full of beans now and eating normally. As for me still no I couldnt get a test today as no-where near shops but I did tell Kerry that I was worried because he asked me what was wrong with me, he thought I was in a mood because he was off work and disturbing my me time! eejut. I had to ask my man of 14 years if he ever leaked a bit before the rest (TMI sorry ) - you'd have thought I'd know the answer to that! he said he doesnt think he does but I would say I am preg from the way I am feeling, I feel sicky and hungover and i've got a funny taste in my mouth. I'm still hopeful its just a bug and that its the domperidone thats increased my prolactin levels enough to inhibit my periods. He did say it would ruin everything if we had another baby and he'd want me to abort. I bet he buys me a test, he likes me to face up to things whereas I like to hide

 

[maybebaby3]

owen's awake again

 

[maybebaby3]

amy - i'm sorry to hear he'd be unsupportive of a possible pregnancy i do think you should test to know what is what. i keep looking at myself in the mirror and thinking i look pregnant and i couldnt face my cup of tea this morning but i'm sure i'm not pregnant. maybe i should follow my advice to you and do a test just to make sure

 

[A3my]

maybe - do it! then i'll test after you

 

[maybebaby3]

tests r so expensive here! pay day is on 27th so will wait til then as i am 99.9% sure it will be this will be my last pay day!!! and i only get paid 1/3 of month

 

[A3my]

ahh poop to last pay day did you find out if you got that promotion/job you went for? x
