Modo yay for Bobby been such a good boy! How was the baby show? Did you buy much?

Amy enjoy the DIY shopping! I need to make a list of all the little DIY jobs we need to do. Steves trademark is that he never finishes a job

I just finally got Oliver to take a nap (on my knee of course ) My mum and dad just popped up which was nice

 

[hope&faith09]

We are just off out for a walk with a very grumpy little girl! Catch up later. x

 

[maybebaby3]

hi girlies!

modo - so glad you had a good day at the baby show!

amy - happy shopping! are you definately selling?

sarah - glad your parents dropped by! it's always nice to have an extra pair of ands or 2!!!

h&f - hope you had a nice walk.

well things started really well with danny offering to give the kids breakfast so i could go back to bed i thought i was hearing things! there's a 1st time for everything i guess! it was the first time he's fed owen! tgen things got crappy. i got up at 10.45 and set about the chores and made a roast chicken. we sat down to eat and i told him i'd told my friend in leeds that we're going over and he hit the roof saying he doesnt want to meet up with her and her fiancee and that i was really selfish for just thinking of me and that his sister doesnt know her well and that they'd have to be making an effort and he just wants to be relaxed! he told me to f off and grow up and stop putting other people first (coz i said i couldnt very well go to leeds and not tell her as if i bumped into her it'd be embarassing) he said he doesnt even want to go now coz he doesnt want his trip to be dictated to by other people! i only asked her if she fancied joining us for dinner!

sarah - we never finish any DIY off properly either its the last little details, I always get bored

H&F - hope you had a nice walk

maybe - kerry thinks we'll definately have to sell. I know I'll never eran what I did around here and our mortgage is massive I cant believe Danny flew off the handle like that! sounds like a nice idea to me! you're the least selfish person ever so that comment of his makes no sense! Hopefully he'll calm down about it

 

[Sarahwoo]

Maybe I'm sorry that Danny is been such an idiot again

H and F I hope you had a nice walk!

I think Oliver is getting another cold or something today he had quite a runny nose and his cough seems worse, and I thought he felt a bit hot although when I took his temp it was fine. I'm going to take him to the drs tomorrow. He's been fine in himself but urgh, I hate it when he's ill. I think its because he's never had more than a sniffle, so I panic a bit when he's off colour I've given him calpol bu he still feels worm to me, I might see if I can take his temp without waking him.

I'm also trying to do my grocery shopping online, I have done a basic meal plan and written a list, I'm just thinking it might work out cheaper if I shop online where I'm less likely to end up buying a lload of stuff that's not on my list. Our grocery shopping is just getting more and more expensive and I'm sure we don't need most of the stuff. So I'm thinking I might try Ocado for a month and just see how it goes.

 

[maybebaby3]

i am not mentioning meeting up again. my friend is the sort that is strong minded and so is danny so i guess thats why he doesnt really want to meet but he could've made it crystal clear to me before i said anything!!! danny's not used to being in with the kids all day and sorting them this morning whilst i rested made him really bad tempered! he's been fine this evening and has helped me prepare for the interview tomorrow! i'm so nervous am going to see which shoes go best with my suit now. will sign on again in a while xxx

Oliver is a poorly boy

His temp was 38.2, so I called NHS Direct and went through a few things with them, and got his temp down a bit. He was still bouncing about and acting fine. So after speaking to the Nurse I gave him a feed and popped him down to sleep, well he wriggled about for a few minutes and then he was soooooo sick! It was awful, he's never been sick like that before So I did what I always do and phoned my mum and then phoned NHS Direct back and had a long talk with another nurse. She said that she doesn't think a doctor could do anything and that he seems to be coping okay, although he is obviously poorly. He's asleep on my knee now, mum and dad are coming up cos I got a bit upset on the phone and also because there is sick all over the cot and bed so at least mum can take him while I sort that out, he cries if I put him down

I'm so rubbish at him been ill!

 

[muddles]

Oh Sarah Poor Oliver for him and you. Hope his temp is down quickly and he isn't sick again. I was thinking messy play outside on the patio in the summer as it can be hosed down!

Maybe that's nice you got some sleep but what a shame he blew it by being mean later in the day.

Modo that's great he was such a good boy for you. Hope you enjoyed the day out.

Amy not sure if it was meant to be edible, it was suitable for babies (well the woman who brought the paint trays in said it was) but Oliver certainly seemed to enjoy it! Sorry to hear you will probably have to sell your house.

LM that is great Dillon is saying words. We get mummummum and dadadada but not to us, well I often get called Dada

Emera you did really well to breastfeed for as long as you did. Will go an read the thread you posted. Well done!

H&F will have a look at your pics on fb next time I am on there. Sure you look fab!

Amy and Sarah Oliver likes to play with my hair whilst he feeds meaning I often look like a scarecrow when he has finished as he gets a bit and pulls it outwards, he has also poked me in the eye whilst grabbing for hair he also keeps trying to roll over when I change his nappy-I have to give him the plastic drawer thing (that the wipes are kept in) to wave about and do it quickly-then usually whilst I reach for his trousers he unsticks the velcro on the nappy and kicks meaning his bits are all out again!

As for me huge drama with my Mum again. It's really getting me down, I know what she says isn't true but it doesn't stop the niggling doubts in my mind. Whole story in Girly Sanctuary if anyone is really bored.

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - poor oliver hope he's better soon xxx

muddles - i'm sorry things with your mum are bad again. i'm going to read your post in gs now.

it's almost 2am and owen's on the boob again am going to look soooooo great in the intetview i have dark circles under my eyes that no makeup can conceal

 

[hope&faith09]

Morning all -

Maybe - good luck in your interview today. really hope it goes well.

Muddles - am off to read your post now ... my mother has been awful about telling me to go to work and generally putting me down.

Sarah - really hope Oliver is feeling a bit better today ... its so horrible when they are poorly.

Amy - hope your ok.

We had a long night - Amy was up loads think its proabaly just her teeth tho. We are meeting some friends at a soft play place today and then out for lunch I think but I am meeting with the girl who always puts be down so I will see how it goes. x

 

[maybebaby3]

h&f - i think maybe you should stay away from that girl who puts you down, you need to be surrounded by positive people not negative ones have fun in the play place and have a nice (low pointed ) lunch!

sarah - hope oliver is better this morning.

well i am back from the interview and it was not too bad. now to wait and see! i lost 3.5lbs this week so i am happy only 5 days til we go to the uk too

 

[Sarahwoo]

H&F I agree with Maybe, the nasty girl doesnt sound like someone you need to be around, if she is the same tody I'm not sure I'd be seeing her again. Enjoy your day!

Maybe well done with the interview! And the weightloss!

Oliver is still poorly He slept on me all night last night, everytime I tried to put him down he cried. I think I got 3 - 4 hours sleep so not too bad. I took him to the doctor this morning and he has a poorly throat. Rather than give him antibiotics hes got antihistamines which apprently help dry up all nasty stuff and the dr says it will help him sleep too, so I have to give it before bed. He's never really been poorly before Today although he's sat and played etc for a bit he's really quiet and clingy and he looks ill My poor baby Last night when he was throwing up he just kept shouting 'mama' and I felt awful because I couldn't make him better

 

[maybebaby3]

vomiting is awful in kids as like you said there is nothing you can do and you feel so helpless. i remember when erin was like that over summer and she was puking up all over her and me and the sofa and the floor. the poor thing kept saying 'sorry mummy' as she knew she was making a mess. horrid! hope he is on the mend very quickly

 

[hope&faith09]

Aww Sarah - really hope Oliver is feeling better soon and you have a better night.

Huge congrats on your weight loss Maybe - I had a low pointed lunch ... just half a jacket potato but then I followed it with a scone. I really wanted 2lbs off this week but dont reckon I will get there I just seem obsessed with food at the moment!

Our day has been good ...the soft play was so packed as its half term and we went to a lovely cafe at a vineyard for lunch and I found a little wedding shop that I can hire ribbon trees from for outside the church! The girl was very self obsessed as she is back at work soon but its ok we had a lovely day anyway!

 

[maybebaby3]

h&f - glad you had a good day! i'm sure you will have a good weight loss, you always do even though you worry about it every week

 

[hope&faith09]

Maybe - I know I am a constant worrier! its awful I just wish I could be relaxed about it each week! My sister is coming over in the middle of April and I would love to be about a stone nearer goal by then so I need to lose about 2 lbs a week! It feels like I have been doing WW forever!

 

[muddles]

Sarah poor little Oliver, bless him saying mama. Hope the antihistamines work and you both get a good sleep tonight.

H&F glad you had a nice day. Maybe if you were running about the soft play that would have earnt you a few extra bonus points to cover the scone?!

Maybe glad your interview went ok. Hope you get the job and well done on the weight loss.

Not done much today, apart from going to Asda where I bought a new top and then made some muffins from the BLW book whilst Oliver slept.

Have a nice evening everyone.

 

[Sarahwoo]

Just a really quick one from me as I am on my phone. Oliver is still super clingy so I ended up coming to bed at about 9pm bless him I think he might finally be settling to sleep. Poor boy. His temp has come down thank goodness, and though we have two explosive nappies this afternoon he hasn't been sick again - touch wood! He's looked pale all day though with red puffy eyes, and he is obviously feeling sorry for himself. he spent most of the day wanting cuddles - but every now and then he would have a crawl about and chase the cat

Sorry for not replying properly, I hope you are all okay

Xx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Oh, and on a happier note, Oliver has taken his clapping to another level and now claps along if thete are people clapping on the tv! So cute! And if I sing him a song, he claps at the end!

 

[Miss_Bump]

Hi girls sorry I don't post in here much but I'd like to ask a question please.

How many of your LOs are crawling?

Evie is either on her knees but with her arms out flat in front and with her face planted into the carpet or she has her legs out flat and pushes up on her arms. She has been doing both for ages and I always thought she would be an early crawler but she doesn't move. She does get frustrated and kind of moves around but not really iykwim.

I know all babies are different and you shouldn't compare but I can't help it.

A friend of a friend had her LO 7 weeks early and she is 1 month older than Evie and she is walking already

Evie is very strong on her legs but just has no coordination - should I worry?
