Happy Birthday Oliverwoo
​

 

[Sarahwoo]

Awww you are all soooooo lovely

We have had an amazing day - Oliver has been a delight and so well behaved, its just been amazing! I feel so emotional every time I think about the past year, I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have such an amazing little boy. I know that what ever happens in my life, so long as Oliver is there I will be happy

I have some pics to put on Facebook soon, my parents bought Oliver a Police Car Cosy Coupe and he absolutely loves it - Steve was pushing him around for ages and he was making a 'brrrrrrrr' car noise - so cute!

I will catch up with everyone soon

You are all amazing ladies

Where is everyone

Owen has woken 3 times so far and erin once. i wonder if she's coming down with something dylan is also coughing so i am not anticipating the best night. Dan is in a foul mood (coz of work) and has gone to bed. i am waiting for the tumble drier to finish and then i'll hit the sack. it annoys me that he makes sarchy comments when i go to bed before midnight/1am but i have to lump him going to bed at 10pm and/or sleeping all day oh well he did come to the park with us this afternoon, i guess the extra activity has tired him out

 

[Sarahwoo]

Morning all! Sorry I haven't been around much! I've had a few days off the netbook, but I should have more time to post again soon

Emera what did you make? I have so much sewing to do, I wish I was quicker

Maybe I'm sorry Danny has been so grumpy I think if I were you I would have to go to bed at about 10pm all the time - I really don't know how you cope with so little sleep!! How has Owen's sleep been? Any sign of improvement?

Well Oliver got up at 7am yesterday, by 10am he seemed tired again to I took him back to bed, normally he has about an hour in a morning, but I fell asleep too and when we woke up it was 1pm!!! I wondered if he might start doing one longer nap instead of two shorter ones, but we'll see. In the afternoon we went to Tropical World in Leeds, Oliver seemed to enjoy it but spent most of the time just looking quite shocked and amazed at the different animals and things. It was fun though, I think he'll enjoy it even more when he's a bit older.

I'm sorry I haven't caught up with everyone properly, I'm on my phone and its really hard to scroll back and see what everyone posted, and I can't remember

I hope everyone has a good day!

Amy I hope today goes as well as possible

Xx

[hope&faith09]

Hope today goes ok for you Amy.

I am on tidy up mission as my house is a complete tip and I just want it to look at least a little bit presentable. Today my dad also gets his results from the CT scan to see if and how far the cancer has spread with a prognosis and what will happen next. So I will find out this evenign what is going to happen.

Hope everyone has a lovely day. x x x

 

[Mork]

Oh h&f thinking of you too hon x x

 

[maybebaby3]

h&f - hopefully you'll get some good news tonight

amy - hope you are ok

last night was the worst night ever. owen woke twice every hour and i was exhausted by morning and i had to go to my new school and talk to the head and staff and all i wanted to do was fall asleep at least they had homemade carrot cake in the staff room to soften the blow according to the staff there's always something or other there to eat. not good for the diet! well am finishing my and then on with the housework and then am taking dylan to beavers. catch you all later xxx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Evening!

Amy I hope today went well I hope you have some fun things planned with Alex tomorrow Has Kerry finished now too?

H&F for you too, I hope the results were better than you expected

Maybe to you aswell you poor thing - I don't know how you do it! I really, really hope that you get some sleep tonight

Well Oliver was sick as I was putting him to bed so I'm not sure if he's a bit poorly . . . he's still got a little cough lingering from his cold and he was coughing like mad and then was really, really sick He doesn't seem to have a fever though I keep popping up to check on him. He had two really long naps today too - 10am - 11.30am and then 3.30pm - 5pm (when I woke him up!). So I think maybe he is a little under the weather, hopefully he'll be feeling better in the morning.

I fell asleep again during Oliver's morning nap but got quite a bit done this afternoon. I still need to find space for all Oliver's new toys etc! But I did get quite a few little annoying jobs done so that feels good

On the downside, I had to place an order for some fabric (to make some chair cover bows) and I found out that my fabric wholesaler has gone into administration I have a wedding in three weeks who wants a particular shade of purple satin which I now can't get my hands on I have ordered some samples from other suppliers so I'm hoping that one of them will be close-ish so that I can send the bride the sample when I tell her I can't get the original fabric - I don't want to tell her and not have a replacement to send her right away, if you know what I mean? Argh so thats a bit annoying, and I now really need a new fabric wholesaler Luckily it's only for the satin bows that I make myself, so only have a couple of brides who will have to find a new colour.

I hope everyone is well . . .

lots of love

Sarah xx

Morning!

Well we had a decent night and Oliver seems absolutely fine today

I have a few things to do today - I need a trip to the post office and bank and I'm meeting a bride at three.

Oliver is SO close to walking now! Amy how long was Alex right on the brink for? He keeps standing on his own and looking like he'll take a step, and then right at the last minute he drops to the floor and crawls instead

I hope everyone has a good day! X

 

[maybebaby3]

amy - is alex walking?

sarah - glad you had a good night

well our nights just get worse and worse. i think he may be teething as when he woke he would seem to settle but then go stiff and start screaming so i gave him some nurofen and then he slept about 1 1/2hrs as opposed to 20-30 mins i need some improvement soon! i may as well have carried on co-sleeping as i got more rest then than now

 

[hope&faith09]

hey all -

sorry for not being around - struggling to keep it together at the moment.

Hope everyone is ok. x

 

[Sarahwoo]

H&F we are all here for you! I hope you are okay Feel free to PM if you would rather not put it on the forum

We had a nice day . . . didn't do much this morning (I napped with Oliver again ) and this afternoon I had a meeting with a bride. Oliver and Steve came along and went looking at trees while I was busy, when I came out Oliver had a stick in each had and refused to let go of them for about an hour On the way home we stopped and bought some sandwiches etc and called at a country park for a picnic - it was a little bit chilly but it was good fun!!

I am getting the impression from Steve that he thinks Oliver should be going into his own room soon, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Oliver still wakes once / twice night at least and at the moment it's so easy for me to get him settled again. If I put him in his own room the issues as I see it are: 1) He hates cots - he sleeps in his side car cot but in a 'normal' cot he always wakes up as soon as I put him down. I have tried and tried but he always wakes up If I put him in his cot awake I think he would just be really upset until he fell asleep so I really wanted to avoid that. 2) Oliver's room is pretty small, there is no chair or anything in there, so we would have to have a big move around and get a chair so I don't have to feed him on the floor. 3) I like having him in with me! Since it's me who gets up at night and would have to do any sleep training etc, I feel like it's easy for Steve to say he should be in his own room because it's not him who would have to impliment the changes. Argh I don't know . . . I need to think about it. I will try again to get him napping in there I guess and see how it goes.

Does anyone know how old toddlers are when they can go into a toddler bed? I think he'd settle better in a toddler bed (its a cot bed so that would be okay) with a safety rail thingy but he's quite a wriggly sleeper so he'd probably fall out. Any ideas anyone?

I hope everyone is okay, to you all!
