Oh no L-C I really hope Will is feeling better soon and I hope he has a good night sleep tonight! x

 

[modo]

LC I would do the same thing too Hope he feels better tomorrow!

 

[muddles]

:wave: Hi everyone.

Amy Sorry to hear that kerry is still being a prize tw*t! Don't stand for anymore of his crap, you deserve so much more.

Emera your brother sounds so lovely, bless him looking after your teddy then giving it to Roh.

Maybe Yay for the good night's sleep. Hope you get lots more!

LC Oliver seems to get a slightly higher temp just before a tooth comes through, and usually needs a dose or two of Calpol to get him through the breaking through stage. Ear thermometers are the way to go, as it is so accurate. Hope Will gets his new tooth soon and that he feels better soon too. I would do exactly the same thing, sleeping on the floor, it's not neurotic he is poorly and needs mummy nearby. Wonder if we will still be here when our boys are grown up but complaining that they are 35 and still need mummy???

Modo Oliver will sit hapily for ages but is a bit like Will in that he gets frustrated that he can't do exactly what he would like to (standing). I have found that if I am in the kitchen he will fuss until I bring him through too then he will sit happily. He seems to want to see what i am doing, he is so interested in everything which is lovely. Yesterday when i was sorting washing he spent a good five minutes examining a plastic coat hanger-touching it, turning it round and round then bashing it on the floor a lot He has also cut down his feeds and now feeds once mid morning, once mid afternoon, before bed, then twice in the night. He drinks/spits water with meals and is eating a good amount most days.

H&F sounds like your wedding plans are coming together nicely. So exciting!

Sarah burgundy sounds lovely.
Hannah that's great Amelia is doing well with her solids.
Windmills Daisy is so cute in the standing up pictures on FB.
Frufru :wave: Hi.

I went to a engagement party last night, and picked a bad night to go as Oliver woke 6 times! He NEVER wakes that many times, his normal is 2 with the occassional 3. My H said he would cry, fart, cry some more and kept looking at the bedroom door. I got back just after midnight and heard the sound of crying, and the little monkey stopped crying instantly when he saw me and laughed! He then cuddled in to me and went back to sleep.

Oh and I think we have found the cause of wind at bedtime-fruit with dinner. He didn't have any for three nights at tea time (just had dinner with veggies) and didn't wake with wind but last night he did have fruit with dinner and he woke with wind. So we are being cautiously optimistic that we have found the cause.

Edited as i had missed a load of people out!

 

[A3my]

Katie - great to have you back!!

Hannah - wow Amelia is really coming on isnt she! suddenly they start achieving all these developmental milestones. It still amazes me fab news you have found a nice new home for you all, I hope you can move in soon. How are the wedding plans coming along?

LC - poor Will Alex had a mild fever once or twice with teething. You're not neurotic! I'm always worried when Alex is poorly, good mummys worry I hope he gets better soon and you all get some sleep

modo - Alex has frustrated times but he's really crawling well now which has cheered him up. He pulls himself up to stand all the time though so I expect he'll be the same when he decides he wants to walk Alex definately has object permanence and cries if I take away something he shouldnt have.

H&F - glad you got the rooms sorted You are being good if you can turn down pork crackling yum yum! Are you going for a new hairstyle tomorrow? x

muddles - typical Oliver decided to have a wakeful night while you were out I hope you had a good night?

Well Kerry and I have talked and he wants to sort things out now which really means he will expect to carry on like it never happened and I have to bite my tongue and get on with things but thats OK. I realised I really didnt want a divorce, despite his tw@tish behaviour of late. Being a family is too important to me. We had a nice day, we went out for a walk and pottered about. Its been really chilly today though

 

[muddles]

I hope you can work things out Amy if that's what you want. I really hope he starts treating you more nicely, as you seem so lovely.

I had a lovely night out thanks, saw a few friends I haven't seen in ages. I decided to drive but even if i hadn't couldn't have got drunk anyway as Oliver is not a fan of expressed milk but will tolerate it for the odd feed here and there. The party was in London, and would have taken an hour and a half on the train and tube which I really didn't fancy. Had I not taken the scenic route (went the wrong way not once but twice...of course I blame the satnav for not telling me in enough time to change lanes which way to go) it would only have taken just over an hour to get there instead of 1h 20m May also have driven through a red light

 

[A3my]

Aww thanks Muddles

its always the satnavs fault I do find mine tells me to turn too late sometimes! I'm glad you had such a lovely night. I still havent been out but I think I would prefer to drive rather than drink, its so nice to have a good night out and wake up feeling all refreshed rather than have that sense you have had a drink the night before, even if its only a couple xx

 

[A3my]

no sarahwoo today - hope you and Oliver are ok xxx

 

[Windmills]

Amy - I hope you can sort it out if that's what you want to do. As long as you're happy and the kids are happy, that's what's important

Muddles - Glad you had a nice time, I'm horrendous at directions and used to regularly get lost travelling to Vinny's by bus, although it was a 90 minute journey!

 

[Windmills]

H&F- I'm missing a bit, what are you excited about? Have fun anyway
Maria - Daisy was like that for a while with the frustration, it passed but it's so grating isn't it. She's getting better when I tell her no when she reaches for things she shouldn't have- although she's so cheeky. She shakes her head and laughs when I say no
L-C- I hope Will feels better really soon!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Hey Ladies!

I'm here Amy, bless you for missing me

L-C I have the same ear thermometer as Emera, I get really paranoid about Oliver having a temp. I really hope Will gets better soon I would be sleeping on the floor too.

Emera four teeth! Poor little Roh, I hope they don't give him too much trouble

Katie YAY!!! Good to see you back Daisy is such a advanced little super cutie!!!

Hannah great news re the house!! I hope you can move soon!

Modo Oliver sooooo has object permanence He alsi has an obsession with wires, laptops, TV remotes, mobile phones . . . . the cat. Basically anything he shouldn't have, I'm constantly removing him from things and trying to distract him with toys while I take something off him The other day he crawled over to our big floor lamp, which has a dimmer sliding switch thing, and he was sliding it back and forth making the lights go up and down - he thought that was AMAZING Oliver gets quite grumpy too, I think its frustration and to a point been tired but refusing to sleep

H&F It sounds like you have really got to grips with the wedding planning!!!

Muddles I'm glad you had a good night out!! I hate sat nav I always prefer to drive and not drink . . . I can't imagine having a hang over and a baby to look after!!!!

Amy I'm glad that Kerry is been a little more reasonable Do you think that at some point you might be able to have a chat to him about things? Maybe see if there is a reason he's such a soooo tight with his cash? I'm rubbish at 'talking' but after your advice the other week Steve and I had a chat (in a 'not having a serious chat' way IYKWIM) and it made me feel soooooo much better. So thankyou and I'll say the same advice to you You deserve to be happy, and I can't help but think that if Kerry wasn't so hung up about money he would be happier too

We have had a lovely quiet day - we watched 'Avatar' which we hadn't seen before so that was nice. We had a nice Sunday Lunch and I got some house work done, so its just been a nice relaxing day! This evening I've been trying to get everything ready for tomorrow as Oliver and I are off to stay at my parents for the night, while Steve is in London. I've tried not to pack too much but well, you know what its like I think I'm going to take my netbook with me so I'll be able to post, if not I have my phone

Not such good news is that I think Oliver might be starting with a cold He has had a runny nose all day. I've propped him up in bed and he's sleeping okay, bless him, but he's very snuffly.

Hope you are all well, thanks for all you lovely comments re the wedding things You're all so fab!

 

[maybebaby3]

modo - it sounds like bobby is going through what owen is. he loves wires too and keeps trying to pull himself up but slips on the tiled floor with his socks and has no shoes as his feet are too fat to fit into pre-walker shoes and they won't measure for walking shoes until he has been walking unaided for 3 weeks! i think it is frustration at not being able to do what they want.

emera - hope the teeth come through soon!!!

LC - hope will is better. it's awful when they are ill

h&f - well done resisting the fatty pork. i was naughty yesterday and had the left over indian takeawaf for dinner

katie - welcome back

amy - glad that you are sorting things out!

sarah - have a good time at your parents!

well i think owen is teething and getting a cold as he had a streaming nose yesterday and kept waking up screaming last night, not just normal crying. he seems ok at the moment and is playing with his toys whilst erin is dancing along to 'the wiggles' dvd (very annoying dvd!!! but she loves it!) dylan is in school. we have a kiddy party in McDonalds later so will not do much before that. at least we dont have far to go as McDonalds is literally across the road

well good news i lost 1kg!!! so now i weigh 67kg/10st 8lbs so only 9kg to go my goal and 3.5kg to go to my pre-pregnancy weight

my FIL just called me to say he called the environmental health dept and that they are going to call me to arrange to come and look at the damp/mould. i think i need to clear up a bit before that or they'll trip over all the toys in the way

 

[L-C]

hello ladies

what a night....will had a massive temperature again and we were up every hour and finally at 6 am I'm so sleepy.

Thank you very much for all your good wishes, Will is very grumpy today but the temperature seems to be down, I think it's his teeth rather than a virus, just hope one pops through today. for those who have the top ones through did they calm down once the skin was broken? and did the next one come through quickly?

Well done on the weight loss maybe, had another freddo binge yesterday!

Amy I'm so pleased Kerry has finally come to his senses xx

Hope you all had better nights... and a good day today x

 

[hope&faith09]

Morning all -

Well done on the weight loss maybe.

Sorry for quick post I will catch up properly later though we are just off to rhythm time.

Amy - Just having my hair cut back to where it was about three months ago ... I want the front bit so I can wear it as a fringe or push it to the side, the lady coming to do my hair is also doing my wedding hair so I really hope she does a good job!

Right I need to go wash up, hang the washing out and go and get some money out before rhythum time!

 

[emera35]

L-C - Hope Will is on the mend, these teeth are awful aren't they? Roh has one on the bottom and 3 on the top coming through at once. He's all snotty and keeps getting very flushed, but not as grumpy as i would be. His top teeth have been a nightmare! One came through, i can't remember exactly, maybe a couple of weeks ago, but its not really moved down much, and it still looks a bit sore to be honest, the second front middle tooth has just broken through yesterday, and then he has the 2 on either side that must be close, as he has little bleeding patches there and massive swellings. Also he has one of the bottom teeth (he already has the middle 2) coming through. Poor little man! At least he only has one more and then we will be on to molars, which come through more slowly apparently, so are slightly less hassle. These top ones are supposed to be the worst, i hope thats true. They've taken about 3 months for Roh! x

Boooo, i don't wanna go to work!

 

[modo]

Muddles: Hope you had fun at the engagment party! Your poor DH dealing with Oliver's six wake up I hope getting rid of fruit with his dinner results in better sleeping.

Amy: I am glad things are better!

Katie: Daisy sounds soooo cute

Sarah: I hope you have a nice time at your parents and Oliver feels better soon

Maybe: Sorry Owen had nasty teething pain but glad he is better now Well done on the weight loss. I have started cutting down on eating this week (no snacks either!) in preparation for a diet next week. Yay! Really glad they are coming to get rid of the mold:thumbsup:

LC: sorry you had a tough night hon

Emera: Poor Roh

 

[A3my]

Thanks Katie - how is Daisy's sleep these days? I know you said she was being a bit of a tinker at night on FB

sarah - you're so right, Kerry would be a much happier man. I do want to talk to him. we cant go on like this everytime something financial crops up. life's too short! I dont want to rock the boat at the moment but its there at the back of my mind. Largely because I am out of money now and getting into debt while he is looking at speakers for his car!! and calm.... I have to blot it out for now. I'm glad talking helped you and Steve What did you think of Avatar? I thought it was amazing but I got so angry about the w@nkers selfishly destroying the planet that it spoilt it for me the first time. I've seen it a couple of times now and I enjoyed it more each time

Maybe - well done on the weight loss hope you had a nice time at McDonalds did the environmental health people get in touch? x

LC - poor you, hope you have a better night tonight and that Will doesnt spike anymore temperatures you deserve those freddos!

H&F - ooh the hair sounds nice - i hope you enjoyed Rhythm time too!

emera - hope work wasnt too bad - I'll be saying that in two weeks! booo

modo - was Bobby in a better mood today?

We had a lovely sunny walk this morning and then did a few errands this afternoon. Alex is obsessed with stairgates at the moment and pulling upself up to stand on them all the time. He'd spend the day standing there if he could

 

[emera35]

Evening!

Amy - Work was meh... it was fine, just work, blah blah Its not so bad now i'm used to it. I'm sure you'll feel the same after a while.
I still find it so odd that Kerry doesn't support his family whilst you've been not working, so strange, i mean its his son you've been caring for. I hope when things settle down a bit that you are able to have a calm converstaion about it, as like you said, you can't both go on like you have been, and its bound to make him happier too.

Roh is being a real trooper with all these teeth, no more movement on them yet though, it looks really sore to me, he's being very brave!

Came home from work tonight to find Roh still awake and OH asleep on the floor of Roh's room Roh was desperately trying to get at his beard through the bars Woke him up and sent him off and took over and Roh was asleep pretty quick. I can't blame OH he'd been up since 5am for work, and i guess lying in the dark had been too sleep inducing! Can't blame either of them that Roh was still awake either, i've done all the bedtimes since we started on the routine crackdown, so it was never going to be easy for either of them. I was a bit miffed to find poo in the livingroom floor though Apparently we had a bit of an escapee poo! Fun scrubbing poo out of the carpet after work, what a glam life i have

Ah haha, funny thing happened! OH and i didn't really talk all night last night, not in a bad way, but he was playing computer games and i was getting Roh to bed, and then went and lay in bed reading, anyway, i'd made dinner (pasta in tomato sauce) before Roh woke up, and was about to serve it when he did, so i said to OH just grab the pasta and put some cheese on and cover it over for me, i'll have mine when i've sorted Roh out. Well when OH came to bed we had this conversation:

OH - That cheese sauce you made was really odd
Me - What cheese sauce?
OH - The one in the glass jug by the pasta pan.
Me - Oh well thats because it was apple and raisin custard i made for Roh for tomorrow.



So OH had a lovely meal of pasta in tomato sauce with apple and raisin custard on top, thought it was weird, but ate the whole thing?! I've been giggling about it all day! At least he left some for Roh

 

[maybebaby3]

emera -

amy - environmental people have not been in touch

 

[A3my]

emera - that is the funniest story I've heard in ages! bless your hubby haha, and he ate it hehehehe. too funny! well he was tired


maybe - booo! hopefully they'll be in touch in the next couple of days x

 

[maybebaby3]

i'm going to give it to tomorrow and then get back onto them and the management office of the estate. it's getting more disgusting by the day and i am soooooooo tempted to clean it up but my MIL says to wait til they come round to see it. erin was upset yesterday as a craft snowman she had made has gone all mouldy just sitting on her shelf
