I still don't think its completely sunk in that I'm a mummy. Does it ever? 
i'm so fed up of waking up 10 times a night too 
it's really taking it's toll. the kids all have sniffles too 
dylan crept into my bed at 6 and didnt have the energy to put him back in his bed. i'm usually really strict! 
then at 6.45 owen decided it was time to get up for the day and so the others got up too am shattered and have job interview at 10.40
he cant see past the end of his nose and here's poor lee, who i was really good friends with in my a-level days dying and his wife recently had a baby 
phew what a busy weekend.
After my hangover day I am soooooo behind. I would say never again but I had a fantastic time 
I had only taken a small amount of cash to stop myself getting plastered but when it ran out my friends just bought me drinks instead Next time I must remember to pace myself with glass of wine-glass of water, why do I never remember these things at the time 
I have cooked a few new dinners over the weekend and Joni has loved them. The beef casserole and haddock in cheese sauce were particular favorites which is great as we can all eat them 
Life just is not fair sometimes But as you say things like this do help make us recognise and acknowledge the good things in our lifes. Hopefully your OH will come round to this realisation when he thinks about it again. Good luck with the job interview 
My hubby does work for the same firm and I was able to ask him about the party and he bought me a ticket to go. I know I got to go to the party so it should be alright but I am still really peed off with the fact that I only went because I pursued it myself 
A friend mentioned the Christmas lunch and I said I had not been told about it but would like to go. Bless her she went into work and brought up the matter with my boss on the sly and he has now phoned and invited me it is on wednesday and hubby's area are at the same sitting as my team so he can show off Joni while I eat and chat I picked her up out of her cot and sang to her which brought her out of the sleepy crying enough to relax and drop back off. I tried to put her back in her cot drowsy, but she just started wimpering again which she only really ever does when she is poorly 
I love the late night snuggles too 
at your hubbies outbreak 
Last time I checked you were a Mother not a housekeeper Does Kerry not realise that looking after 3 children and the pets (including a new puppy which is kind of like having another baby!) is a full time job on its own. Blooming men I love the bibs, my friend has been making her own version and has let me have loads for Joni in exchange for cake and babysitting She is in the process of setting up the bib making as a business and Joni is going to feature on her website 
He looks so cuddly in his starry babygro. Do mind me asking where you got the babygro from? Oh and great weight I think Joni and him must have been coaching eachother How did he sleep last night after the missed milk? I have had to re-organise Joni's routine now she is eating so well in order to space out her bottles and meals more evenly to make sure she is still drinking enough milk. SO far the new routine seems to be working but it does mean I am either giving Joni a meal or bottle every couple of hours which is forcing me to be a lot more organised, which to be honest is a good thing. Headstrong and wilful like her Mum She did give me a real fright before her nap. I had put her down and left her as usual then taken myself off tot the kitchen to wash up. I could hear her grumbling as she put herself to sleep but then started really crying hard all of a sudden. This is not like her so I popped my head round the door and she was on her front with her arm stuck through one of her cot bars 
I have an airwrap cot bumper to stop her from being able to poke limbs in between the bars but it looked like somehow she managed to flop her hand/wrist on top of the bumper and as she rolled onto her front her body weight caused the bumper to sag so her arm went through. I am really thankful she did this during a nap rather than at night!
I can see one on Amelia's gums but I don't know how long it'll take to come through completely
for oliver's tooth!!! that must be why he has been a bit more unsetted than usual! no2 will probably follow soon!
for Oliver's tooth and out of the blue too, that must be why he was crying in his still 
the afternoon naps have really gone out of the window, need to get them sorted again. still very vague about how where, what and when but I don't really care, my focus has completely changed now!
I started by opening the blind and curtains, then kissing her, then kissing her and nibbling her ear. When none of that did not result in even a flinch I put all of her clean clothes away letting each one of the 5 drawers bang as I shut it but still no joy So in the end I actually had to pick her up and cuddle her awake Then this afternoon she has slept 2.30-4 so anothe 1.5 hours. She did get up a bit earlier today so by the time you take off the early rising her naps only total about 3hours which is about right for her so hopefully she should still sleep ok tonight. Stamping will have to wait though as it is Joni's dinner time 
What a great sleep! at your little shoplifter. The bubble thing sounds cool, I love bubbles. I love snuggles too, and stroking Oliver's hair. I noticed he plays with his hair when he is trying to go to sleep. 
) as to why I haven't done any. Saying that I do keep on top of the washing up, washing, cleaning the bathroom and changing beds its the hoovering and dusting I am not so good at doing frequently though it never gets so bad you could write your name in the dust. The babygrow is from Asda. It comes in a set of two. The other babygrow says 'Mummy's Little' then it has a picture of a Christmas pudding on it. My H has banned me from walking past the clothes and shoe section when I go shopping now as I keep coming home with things! I told him he should be grateful it's Asda clothes and not really expensive ones How did the interview go? Hope it went well and that you get more sleep tonight. to those of you with hubbies telling you to get your own pressies! Don't say anything on my Facebook about it though please as I have a couple of work people on there.
Sorry your work were jerks and didn't invite you to your Christmas parties 
and even sorrier about your DH's insensitivity Loved hearing about the shoplifiting Bobby isn't crawling yet either or sitting up oh his own but he does make a lot of noise Glad she is ok Glad Joni sleeping has been settling down I think they are communicating He woke up at 7.30 which was great He had more milk today for his last feed because Mondays are usually very busy for us and he only get's 1 and half meals. Thanks for asking
to Joni for getting her arm stuck I brush ALex's little teeth sweet shame your OH made such a stupid comment hopw the interview went well I've been wracking my brain trying to work out a way I could stay off longer but my money's already run out Alex has no interest in crawling, I love how they are all doing different things at different times Alex has just started saying ad-dad-ad and yuh yuh yuh, its so funny he took AGES to settle tonight, he's normally asleep between 6.30 and 7 ish but he didnt fall asleep until 8.30. He is struggling to breath with all the snot and everytime I tried to lie him down he'd cry. He keeps writhing around as if he has terrible wind but nothing comes up. I think i am in for another bad night

Even though i've been doing contact days for a while this was my first full shift, phew, it was hard work! I love baking, but the quantities are pretty scary, i don't know if i'll need my excercise class now i'm working again, stirring 12 kg of oats to make flapjacks is quite the work out (that makes 240 flapjacks and i have to make 720 in total ). Really glad i have a giant cake mixer, but i still have to do some of the cakes in 2 batches i have to make so much of each mix! It went well though, and i'm back in at 6.30am tomorrow morning Congratulations on the tooth Oliver! Roh's second one arrived a week after the first, hope they come through close together The second one was worse for Roh, but for less time Roh never did settle properly last night and ended up spending the night in our bed, just so i could get some sleep Tonight he's fallen asleep on his own in his cot though, fingers crossed for a good one for both of us! Poor her getting her arm stuck though Roh does it all the time, but we don't have bumpers so i think he must be used to it, as he seems to find it really funny having his feet and arms through the bars I was going to say i wish i could, and i sort of wish i could have a bit longer just being a Mum only, but i'm also quite happy to be working a few days a week, it makes me enjoy my time with Roh more. Plus i think it helps that i know he's with his Daddy, rather than a stranger. I also think its good that OH and I are sharing the childcare and working, it puts us in a very equal position, where we both understand eachothers "jobs" if that makes sense. I lost a friend last year to breast cancer, her little girl was just 2, she was still breastfeeding when she was diagnosed. Its so sad when people die so young and have little ones they leave behind I can't believe how thoughtless your OH was to make such a comment, he should be so grateful for his life, he has a lovely wife, 3 beautiful children and his health....what more could anyone ask for? I hope your interview went well! My going back to work has come round soooo quickly, i wish i could have afforded to take the full year, but OH just doesn't earn enough to support us
sometimes its just the luck of the draw My lips are sealed about your job. It is great that you are able to stay home with your little man I am curious about anbesol now as so many of you have mentioned it and said it is really good. Can you get it in Boots? I love the word toothypeg too It is funny that you mentioned that you have busier days where Bobby has slightly fewer meals, Joni used to be like that but now she has got into a routine with her meals she shouts and will eventually just cry until she is fed. If you try to offer her a milk feed when she usually has solid food she is not a happy bunny. Sometimes before her meals she will look at you smack her lips together in a chewing motion whilst going Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm I'm guessing you have tried all the usual tricks like elevating his mattress, vapour rub etc? I must confess when Joni has been really snotty I have kicked hubby out of the bed and let her sleep in his spot with her head and torso on a really steep pillow I hope you get more than you are expecting. The night before last it was so painful it woke me up and kept me awake for nearly 2 hours! Thankfully Joni's waking that night fell in those two hours so there was a silver lining Hubby has the day off as holiday to make sure one of us is here when the courier comes as I will be out for a couple of hours in the morning for baby yoga. Men and their beer
