sarah - what's up hun?

well i bit the bullet and put owen in the cot and let him cry (and boy did he scream!) it took just under half an hour for him to sleep. i popped in once but he just cried louder so i didnt go in again and to not cave i went on fb and talked to a friends who has recently done the same thing with her baby. poor owen i felt so bad tho in the end i found him asleep with his head shoved in the corner of the cot! am just waiting for him to wake and wail again tho!

 

[maybebaby3]

Thanks ladies

I'm just having one of those days, I've nothing to complain about really

Firstly, Oliver woke up at 4.30am and spent two hours feeding and singing and generally been wide awake before I could get him back to sleep. By the time he fell back asleep it was almost time to get up, as we had an appointment to see the school at 9.30am. I remember thinking I'll set my alarm and just have half an hour, and then I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up it was almost 9am So I had to call and say we couldn't make it and rearrange the appointment, they were fine about it but it just set my day up really So then there was a tomatoey mark on the rug that I JUST got cleaned, right where Steve had sat and eaten his pizza last night, so I had that to clean, then I see that Steve has left the back door unlocked all flippin night which fair enough could be worse but he has SUCH a go at me if I even leave it unlocked if I'm upstairs for five mins, and when I told him he just said oh, oops.

So Steve worked this afternoon, he'd asked what my plans were and I said I was going to drive to the local farm shop because they sell some specialist local beers, and its my Dad's birthday on Saturday so I wanted to buy some (he loves his beer ) for him. Then I had to get a card etc. Steve said absolutely nothing, and then as he left (literally as he was walking out of the door) he said oh, can I take your car, because mine doesn't have enough diesel to get to work and I don't have time to go and fill up' Well if he's got up a bit flippin earlier he would have! So he took my car, and said there was a bit in his, just not enough for the 30 miles to get to work.

So, Oliver had his nap, I did my hair to try to make myself feel less pissed off and then Oliver and I had lunch. Oliver has so many teeth popping through at the moment he's a bit of a grump, bless him. I understand why and everything but it's hard work when he's grumping at me all the time. So after lunch he played for a bit, and then I decided to drive the 2 or so miles to the local Outlet village where I could get a card and a pressie, rather than driving to different places. So that bit went okay, except Oliver was pretty grumpy. I did buy myself some shoes too as another attempt to cheer myself up

So we got home - by the time we got home the car said we had absolutely zero miles left in the tank, so I worried all the way that we were about to run out of diesel. (Just to add, I won't fill up on my own with Oliver as we don;t have any pay at the pumps locally). So we pull up at home and my MIL is outside with Steve's nephew and niece, Oliver wants his tea and is grumpy, but they come in and then they take all Oliver's toys out of his play pen and put them every flippin where Ahh, so they go, Oliver has his tea (which he eats ) and then we go up for bath and bed. As I was running the bath, Oliver managed to slip and bang his chin - he starts REALLY screaming so I pick him up and he has blood in his mouth Long story short he had cut his tounge with his bottom teeth, he cried none stop for half an hour and was SO upset. It stopped bleeding really quickly but I think it was a little swollen and obviously hurt, so he was trying to breastfeed and he just couldn't, which made him even more upset and set me off crying I managed to get some ibuprofen into him and after about an hour and a half he managed to feed, and within about half an hour of that he was giggling and smiling again - thank god! Bed time was all out by then, so he missed his bath but was asleep for about 9pm, so not too bad. I feel like crap that I couldn't stop him from hurting himself

So now he's asleep, I've cleaned and tidied, so I'm going to go and find something really naughty to eat and go to bed. I'm sure tomorrow everything will be better

ooh I forgot! i got good news! i got the job i applied for! i am now foundation subject leader for music in a local middle school. i also got my extension of my maternity leave til september so in september i will start at the new school!

OMG!!!! YAY!

Well that made my day a bit better

 

[Sarahwoo]

Oh, and Maybe for the sleep training, it will be worth it honey

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - huge i hate when days just do not go according to plan. at least you got some new shoes poor oliver! remember blood in the mouth always looks worse than it is. poor mite! hope you have an extra good day to make up for it tomorrow!

owen woke just as i went to hang out the washing i was torn between going in and letting him cry. i went in after 2 mins and turned him on his side and patted his bottom and put on his mobile and he went back to sleep in 2 mins i'm sure that won't happen with every waking though!

 

[maybebaby3]

is it mad that i miss having owen beside me in bed to cuddle up to? i'm going mental

 

[hope&faith09]

Morning Ladies-

Hope your all ok today.

Sarah I really hope you have a better day today than yesterday!

Maybe - huge congrats on the job and yay for the extended maternity leave! You must feel so happy.

Argh well I have been up since 4 - not entirely sure why but we are going to the safari park today with my mum, dad, sister, brother in law and niece. I cant wait! At least being up early has given me time to make a yummy picnic and not be to rushed to get out the house! We havent seen my sis since October so I am really hoping she notices I have lost weight and I cant weight to see my niece!

I hope you all have a lovely day - I am currently ignoring Amy's moans as I only get her up at 7 at the earliest as I think that is a resonable time to start the day but ecause she knows I am up she is grumping!

 

[maybebaby3]

h&f - have a lovely day with your family

well i am proud to announce that i didnt feed owen or take him out of the cot ALL NIGHT!!! he slept 9.30 - 11.30, then woke but settled quick. then he woke 1am and didnt settle properly til 2am. then at 3.30am and then at 5.20am and 5.50am and then at 7.20am when we got up. it took 5-10mins to settle him each time. i only slept a total of 4hrs so am tired but am determined to crack it. it helped that danny was on night shift as he gets annoyed if he hears the baby cry. he's on nights today and tomorrow so am hoping by the time he is off nights there may be an improvement

the weather is soooooooooo crappy here still. it is raining so much! we're supposed to be going to my MIL for good friday lunch so much for the diet especially as i stuffed my face with choc and biscuits last night!

 

[L-C]

Hi

OMG maybe that is so good!!! You'll both crack it in no time, since I stopped feeding Will in the night he has been great and I've had some full nights sleep. That's not silly missing him, I even miss Will getting me up which is very strange because when he was all I wanted him to do was sleep. Yay for getting the job and maternity extention xxx

We ordered some ELC stuff and they are well known for being rubbish for deliveries here!

Huge hugs to H&F you are amazing! Have a lovely day x

Eeeeew to the spider mork I hate them.

Sarah I hope you have a better day today.

We have had a busy few weeks we've all been run down and bug ridden, my latest was an infection in both my eyes which I particularly enjoyed, not. Will was sent home from nursery yesterday, he has a cough, he had a temp and heat rash. Took him to the dr and have antibiotics incase, with the bank holiday.

Work is going well though, I'm quite enjoying it at the moment, when they really pile on the work it might be a different story.

We have the in laws round later, which should be nice, then I am working sat and sun urghh.

Will spent an hour in the paddling pool on Wed and absolutely loved it!!! Have some cute pics.

Hope you all have a fab weekend!!!

 

[maybebaby3]

LC - glad that work is going well. i hope you have an illness free time now!

well we are on to the second night of sleep training and after 20 mins of me going in and out and shush/patting him he fell asleep. he fell asleep without me in the room too i shall keep you posted as to how the night progresses but for now i am going to make a and watch eastenders on bbciplayer (i am assuming it was on tonight, otherwise i'll watch something else)

 

[A3my]

sarah - I hope you had a better day today, you poor thing!! how is Oliver today? I always find that Alex wakes up at stupid o'clock then fallls asleep etc on the days I need to be up I loved your condensed spider story

maybe - whooooohooooo :yippee: thats fantastic news!!! for the job and the sleep training and the extended mat leave

LC - poor you with the eye infection! Alex has only just got over the reccurent colds he has had since starting nursery. I'm really glad you are enjoying work, I hope they dont pile it on anytime soon! what sort of policing do you do? I understand if you'd rather not say on here

H&F - hope you had a great time at the safari park

we had a family get together at our beach hut today, it was lovely. emily and Holly swam in the sea I dipped Alex's feet in but he washighly unimpressed! I couldve stayed there all evening but I had to take Emily to a friends house. I am loving this warm weather

 

[maybebaby3]

wow amy the sea must be freezing! brave girls!

owen woke at 10 (so slept for an hour only) but settled quickly i am determined to crack this.

the upstairs neighbour came round and told me there was a bird in my patio it was a swallow so it couldnt take off from the floor so i had to pick it up in a plastic and take it outside the block and release it!

 

[A3my]

I think you'll crack this

wow, a swallow! I had a magpie come down the chimney into our lounge in our old house and it flapped and flapped so it was sooo hard to catch and freaked me out

 

[maybebaby3]

owen just started crying so i rushed in and shushed/patted him and he went back to sleep i should clean the kitchen and go to bed really!

 

[maybebaby3]

well he woke loads, about once an hour but i didnt cave quick question. yesterday when he woke at 7.20 i got him up, took off his grobag and took him into the living room for a feed. today at 7 i took him out of his grobag but brought him to bed with me for his morning feed. do you think thats ok or is it going to confuse him? i was just sooooooo
