Sarah - I was going to get the Summer one but I wasn't sure about it, we got the Motorola MBP30 in the end, going to try it tonight

Had a pretty good day today apart from Amelia decided to get up at 6:30 when she usually sleeps until 8:30 don't know what it was but hope it doesn't happen again tomorrow.
Amelia's sleeping on the sofa at the moment bless her so I've got a chance to post in here

Hey all -

How is everyone ... we have just got back from ikea and we spent so much money!

I picked up Amy's rocking horse from mamas and papas as well!

Has anyones little one started crawling ... Amy isnt yet but she shuffles on her back at amasing speed just wondering how long it takes for a baby to get from being almost up on all fours to actually crawling?

Hope everyone is ok, i'm just about to put Amy to bed as she is being a grump!

H&F - Roh is commando crawling quite fast now, but hs only just gotten up on his hands and knees properly in the last 2 days, he rocks a bit and then launches forwards, lands on his face and then commandos and rolls to wherever he's trying to go. He decided to spend from 10pm -1am last night practicing

Well, its been snowing and i'm totally utterly freezing The monitor says its 12 degrees in the bedroom, and it feels colder than in there in the lounge. Roh is in bed in a short sleeved vest, a long sleeved vest, a fleecey sleepsuit and a 2.5 tog bag, and i've just popped a blanket on him too. Seeing as i'm wearing 2 jumpers and a duvet right now :brr: I've had a little fan heater going to warm the place up, but its broken down

Roh is ill again He's coughing alot and has lost his voice, which makes his crying sound so mournful, it nearly made me cry earlier! Mind you i think i'm having crazy hormones because i'm miserable and tearful, and there is really no reason why i should be.

On the plus side, i'm currently cheering myself up with some homemade lasagne (Roh liked it!) and a big slice of plum crumble cake, which is still warm from the oven.

On my own as OH is working late, and now for the first time since before my BFP i really want a cigerette Just as wwell there are none in the house (OH smokes). Bleh, i need a kicking! Guess i'll go do the washing up and have a sniffle

 

[x__Hannah__x]

Grr, I've put the new monitor on because Amelia went to bed at 9 and it keep cutting out and turning off! I don't know what to do

 

[Sarahwoo]

Emera you sound in a similar mood to me last night I hope Roh is better soon - bless him. 12degrees is so cold! Its 19 in our bedroom at the moment, I thought that was chilly! No snow here yet, I'm hoping it stays away!!

We are just doing the christmas shopping, all online and hopefully we will get it all done tonight. We started the other night but we couldn't agree on anything and ended up giving up before we fell out

Hannah is it fullu charged? Plugged in? The screen on ours turns off after a while if its not plugged in, its like an energy saving thing.

 

[hope&faith09]

Emera - That is cold - at least roh is wrapped up all nice and warm. Are those fleecy sleepsuits good? Where can you get them from? I am on a mission to but my little miss some really warm clothes as I don't seem to have that much stuff for her! She has also started to move up into 9-12 month clothes!

Sarah - good idea doing all your christmas shopping online ... I think we may start that tomorrow although we have so much stuff we have bought from ikea I think I may spend the day putting units together and re-organising the house.

 

[x__Hannah__x]

Sarah - It was even turning off when it was plugged in!!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Sarah that's what I'm like in Ikea we are doing well with the shopping so far, much easier than real shopping with Oliver. Oh, and I bought a few fleece sleepsuits in Primark, they were about three pounds each! Next also sell them I think

Hannah that's rubbish, I hope its not broken!

 

[x__Hannah__x]

I don't know what's wrong with it either I can't take it back either because OH's at work until 1am and then he's going up to watch the rugby in Wales early tomorrow so he won't get the chance and I don't drive Think I'm going to have to use the ordinary old monitor tonight because this one's annoying me!

Anyone got snow?

 

[Sarahwoo]

Nope, no snow here yet!

 

[emera35]

Not sure where the sleepsuits i have are from they were my nieces and my SIL cuts labels out of everything

 

[Sarahwoo]

Wow its soooo quiet in here!! Hope everyone is well!

Happy Birthday to Dylan! Hope you have had a lovely day Maybe!!!

Emera I hope things have warmed up a little for you today

Brrrrr its so cold today! We have a little bit of snow but it is so icey, horrible! I think I'm going to sell my car and buy a Freelander, Steves car is so rubbish in the bad weather. I don't know if I should try to sell my car privately rather than part ex it. I know I'd get more but urgh, I hate selling cars, I just want it to be as easy as possible!!

Oliver has been lovely all day and fell asleep on Steve twice - something he's only done twice before and both those times were when he was tiny! I think Steve was quite flattered lol!

Xx

 

[A3my]

Maybe - Hope Dylan had a wonderful birthday, I loved looking at your FB pics
Sarah - hope you are enjoying your new sofa I would love a Freelander! I wont be able to afford a new car fro years though. Last year I got stuck in the snow as they dont grit the roads here. scary
frufru - nom nom, I want to come to yours for eats
Hannah - sorry about your new monitor? no snow here in Kent
emera - brrrrr thats ffffreezing!! Poor little Roh! My hormones are up sh!t creek too. I keep crying at stupid things. I'm back on the mini-pill now, wonder what that will do to me! I hope Roh gets better soon xx
H&f - i'm jealous, I want to go to Ikea! I love it!

Well I went to a family gathering today to celebrate my auntie and uncles 65th. It was lovely but In a really small room and I had to hold Alex for 3 hours so I had dead arms! There was a buffet (yum yum) and I had stuff on a plate with the arm I was holding Alex in and he happily helped himself to ham and picallily sandwiches, sesame prawn toast and spring rolls dipped in sweet chilli sauce and spring onions! I know it wasnt the healthiest meal but everyone was really impressed at his taste and it was a party! He loved it. I couldnt help letting him have it becasue i had no hands free. He's still got the snots but is much better.

I had the first case of separation anxiety from him today! My Dad had driven us to Wokingham and my car was at my parents. When we got back there I ran Alex into my mum so I could switch my stuff over to my car and when I went back in he was SCREAMING! he had tears and snot everywhere. he's never done that before. my mum was a bit upset, it was the first time we've seen her in a couple of weeks because she's finally talking to me after we got Lyra. I felt awful. Poor little man

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend xx xx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy that's great that Alex enjoyed the bufffet! Bless him for getting so upset, its horrible isn't it? When Oliver has been like that, its only happened a couple of times, but when I have picked him up he holds on to me so tight - awwww it pulls at my heart strings!!! I'm glad you are talking to your mum again

 

[A3my]

yes Sarah - he did that to me! I'm going to be a wreck when I have to leave him in childcare! I'm going to try leaving him with other people becasue i want him to feel happy and secure. I had to swallow the big lump in my throat becasue I didnt want to upset my mum

My sister and her hubby and Gabriel have gone to India to meet his parents/family/entire village most likely! I miss her already and she's only been gone a day I hope they're ok. She's a real routine/home comforts mum, it's her idea of hell

 

[babyhope]

HI EVERYONE!!!!

It has been months since I've been on, but I think about you ladies regularly, especially each time Dylan turns another month. I can't believe he is going to be 7 months already! Dylan started crawling at 5 months and is now pulling him self up and standing (while holding on to things) He just started standing in his crib, it is too cute! Hope all of you are doing well....I am going to start going back a few pages and hopefully find some cute baby pics!

 

[maybebaby3]

hi babyhope nice to hear from you! if you are after cute baby pics then i think a lot of us put them on facebook. are you on there?

amy - its great that alex is adventurous with tastes!

sarah - my sil is studying in leeds and said on fb it was -6!!! so i can imagine you are freezing!

dylan's bday went well and we had a decent turnout despite the torrential rain! i cant believe he's 5 already! the time has just flown! i am bf owen now and everyone else is asleep which is unheard of on a weekend at this time! (8.30am) oh spoke too soon! erin's just come in to the bedroom!

 

[Frufru]

Hello everyone

Well it is here and snowing yet again. We are in the city so we don't get as much as those out in the sticks but we still have a few inches. My Mum lives in a rural area and said there was 8 inches on top of her car yesterday morning and there was more snow falling. Joni and I stayed inside wrapped up nice and warm yesterday and spent the whole day playing and cuddling

Babyhope - so good to see you Wow Dylan is a super-baby with his mobility

Hannah - bummer about the video monitor did you manage to get it to work/return it?

Sarah - ooooh freelander, just think of the boot space I have a Honda Jazz and it is a great little car. I could not afford a new car but to be honest I am happy with mine, I have had it from new and it is so reliable and cheap to run. Plus where I live all the streets and parking places are narrow and I could not get a big motor into half the parking spots. Also it is permit parking and the bigger your car the more your permit costs It looks like Jazzy Jeff is here to stay for a few more years.

H&F - I hope you are ok and feeling a bit better. I know what you mean about Amy moving so quickly, Joni is the same. I used to be able to leave her on the floor playing on her own while I pottered around the hour doing jobs but now I have 'contain' her in her playstation or door bouncer I bought a travel cot the other day which doubles as a playpen which will come in handy when she is crawling

Maybebaby - I am so pleased that Dylan had a nice birthday, I trust he was suitably impressed with his pressie How is Owen now, do you still think he might be gluten intolerant?

Amy - bless little Alex with his little hands and his little face eating all the buffet food It is really hard when our babies get upset like that You have got plenty of time to get Alex used to being with other people before you go back to work. My Mum says when she used to run the playgroup when I was little there was a little boy who used to absolutely howl when his Mum dropped him off. He would cry his eyes out for 5 minutes and then would just stop really suddenly, giggle and run off to play and always had a lovely time The first few weeks Mum and the other helpers would try to console him but it made him worse and they realised he needed to have that little cry to settle himself and was better off being left to it.

Emera - I hope you and Roh are snuggled up and warm

I had a lovely time on Friday night. Poor hubby had to contend with Joni not able to sleep because of her cold. In the end she sat on his lap with her head against his chest and fell asleep like that. I did not get in until 1am and I was just falling asleep around 2am when Joni woke up again and would not settle in her cot. I was so knackered I ended up taking her back to our room and climbed into bed with her where she promptly snuggled right in and slept until 6.30. I would not want to go back to co-sleeping but that was a lovely sleepy snuggle

I have been giving Joni the HIPP goodnight milk for her last feed at night but recently we have found it a real struggle to stop her falling asleep before she has finished. The goodnight milk is much thicker so is much harder work to drink and its almost that she seems to take enough to take the edge of hunger and then falls asleep because she is so tired, but then wakes up looking for a feed in the night So I think we are going to try her with a regular feed at bedtime tonight and see how she goes.

We are still starting the day at 5.30 at the moment I am unsure if she wakes then from habit or that she has had enough sleep by then. I would move her bedtime back a bit but I don;t know we could as Joni is so tired at 6.30 she shouts at you for her bottle and bed. Ah well, its a work in progress.

Righto my little boo-bear has woken from her 20min nap blooming cold I will go and give her a snuggle I think.

Have a lovely day everyone

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around. Bobby's sleep hasn't quite recovered yet from jetlag but its getting better

Bobby started showing signs that we was interested in food while we were in Dubai. He tried to eat my sandwich while we were in a cafe. So we have started BLW on Wednesday (the day after we got back) and its been going really well! Today when I gave Bobby his lunch he leaned forward enthusiastically

For those of you doing BLW how has it been going for you? I know most of you have been doing it for a while now.

Hope you have all been doing well!
