Hi Ladies :wave:

Off to catch up now .......

Well in the land of Madly Charlie slept through again last night 11pm-7.20am Thursday night must have been an unsettled blip due to his jabs He also had a major sleep today from 10am-3.30pm He just didnt seem to want to wake up

He has been a little grumpy this evening however we have just noticed he may be teething and on the left hand side of his lower gum you can see the top of a tooth I always thought the middle teeth were the first to come through We may have to cave in and give the calpol although today I must have had some sort of feeling a him teething because I bought some dentinox teething gel when we did our shop at tesco

In other news I have had words with DH today because MIL decided to take it upon herself to go out and buy Oliver`s uniform for next school year She didnt ask if this was ok, what we needed or even enquire as to the size or whatever she has just taken herself off and bought him his school uniform Now DH told me on our way out to the supermarket today so our food shop around Tescos made for an unpleasant atmosphere because he thinks I am been irrational because I am so raged at MIL. Imo its a parents privledge/job to provide their child with school uniform and go out and buy it etc ..... This to me is just another way of MIL trying to have some sort of control I guess it may sound a little irrational but MIL doesnt have a great track record as some of you may know so of course am quick to jump on the anger band wagon DH swears she was just trying to help out mmmmm yes of course she was she knows how down I feel about not having a job and been able to pay my way right now because DH told her so imo this is just her way of saying `you cant buy it but I can!` shes making sure she keeps control however she can and going out and buying MY BOY! his school uniform without consulting us is just plain not acceptable. I said to DH that if he asked any Mummy how they would feel if their over bearing and interferring control freak MIL went out and bought their child their school uniform without prior discussing it they would say that they felt similar to me Though DH doesnt see why I am so upset over this He said to me `you wouldnt feel so bad if it was your Mum who had gone out and bought him his school uniform` and hes right I wouldnt BUT then my Mum wouldnt do such a thing without discussing it with me first because she would know how it would make me feel. DH was all kisses and cuddles earlier after he was horrible to me I just cant believe that woman grrrrrr!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Just catching up

Peanut Charlie does the over tired random nutting things often and to poor Indigo the jabs are just evil Sounds like a fun day you have planned hope the weather stayed fine

for a refreshing 7hrs Pink

Tas you dont have to tell me about trying to cut back on the shopping bill We arent doing so bad but still it seems to cost a bomb and not a lot to show for it We have about 500+ nappies and about 50 packets of wipes because I went mental at the Tescos baby event using all my coupons up so got myself some damn good bargains which should last us a while Am tempted to do online shopping but I have been told that you get crap dated stuff ie the stuff thats close to its use by date So I have avoided that because theres nowt worse than having no fresh food come mid week cause its out of date

vbaby I just love the fact that you have different clips to match each of Teagans outfits Shes such a cutie pie Oliver had hair exactly like Teagans but no clips for him I had to take him to the barbers at 6mths old however Charlie is bald on top but has lots of hair around the back of his head ... infact when people see little bald him and then they cop for the hair at the back of his head they are in

Huge nomore I hope you grandad is one of the 15%

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw madly i would be the same! i dont think it is the fact that she is the mother in law it is the sort of person in general that bothers you about it. i wouldnt mind my mum doing that for me but i know her sole reason would be to help, same with my mother in law her reason would be to help. but your mother in law is putting a point across, to me it doesnt matter if she is you mil, own mother or aunty jean from across the road it is the reason behind it that is bothering you not just the action itself which is more than an acceptable reason to be royally pist!

thank you gilz, i keep saying that other than what has happened he is actually very healthy due to keeping to a really strict lifestyle and being checked over regularly since a heart attack he had like 20 years ago, i think i am just shocked more than anything else. i have had loads of relatives when they pass part of me thinks oh they have been suffering terribly for years now though at least they arent in pain anymore but my grandad is as fit as a fiddle! my family entered a football competition and got drawn to go into a penalty shoot out but because this happened after the actual football competition finished a load of my uncles had already left meaning that they were one short . . .so my grandad filled in and scored the winning penalty to make them win the whole comp! this was only 2 weeks ago

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

thanks madly . . .i always did online shopping when leo was little because 1. c section 2. 2nd story flat and 3. meant i could keep to our budget plus i used to use asda the dates were always really really good i only once had something marked as not having a good shelf life and i think it still had 3 days on it also if they didnt have a product they would swap it for another one without charging you more! i always won that game

hmm wish i had a huge bar of choccie right now, might make some pancakes and stuff loads of nutella in it . . . not the same but still lush i just said to dh i wish they did a family sized bar of dairy milk which was part caramel, part plain and part fruit and nut! i would LOVE that xkx

 

[Ozzieshunni]

nomore. I'll be thinking good thoughts for your granddad xx

 

[molly85]

hugs nomore.

just watching casualty how is dr winters back on the unit?

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

thank you ladies!xkx

have no idea dont watch casulty but honestly i am watching this programme called pissed and pregnant and it is crap

i thought i was going to get a good debate on it and some in depth info on f.a.s etc when basically so far it has been 2 really ignorant women saying unless you drink in pregnancy you must be a hermit because there is nothing else to do, look at my first child she is fine

they also hired an actress to fake being drunk

they did report on an interesting case in the US where this woman was arrested and attempted to be charged for the attempted killing of her baby through drinking whilst she was pregnant

quite frankly it is rubbish! just another programme to make people go oh look at that uneducated woman giving her ignorant opinion on drinking in pregnancy isnt she awful as opposed to actually finding out exactly how much is too much, the exact guidlines and why well you know etc etc

they did show what one unit of wine actually is - think it was 85ml or something but what about the hundreds of other types of drink? beer, alchi pops, liqour, hard liquor, etc etc

grrr waste of time, all it leaves me with is a feeling ofgrrr stupid woman whilst thinking how bad i feel for her that she has obviously been asked to do the show because she is a little but simple, from a bad area and has not educated herself on drinking in pregnancy grrrr

rant over

 

[PeanutBean]

Big nomore. I really hope your granddad is ok...

for the MIL issues Madly.

Ozzie I just store the milk in the bottles I express into. We have lids for them this time but with Byron couldn't ever find them anywhere so left the teats on and they were fine.

Molly I should be able to answer your question but can't because the DVD recorder lost it's planned recording after adding new channels and forgetting this would happen I deleted the Sky copy without watching it. Meant to catch up on iPlayer but never did. So one week she was in the home, and two weeks later she was back in.

We have had a lovely day though exhausting as always. The event was great. Two hours with drop in activities and two booked ones. The first was a sort of sensory show with giant drums, singing and shadow puppets. The second was an exploration of paper with confetti and strips for playing in. Byron had an absolute ball and was seriously overtired and cross by the time we were waiting for a Pizza Express takeaway (that was sadly disappointing and took so long we may as well have eaten in after all!). I took my new camera though it might've been a mistake as it got bubble mixture on it in the first show then paper dust in the second! Hoping my lens has survived! Though I did take my old SLR all over the show and it was always sound.

Lol, I had to breastfeed Indigo during the first show! I had her in the wrap and she loved watching it all for a little while then got too hungry so I had to feed her. I stayed at the back while all the others went to bounce rice and raisins on a big drum on the other side of the room only then the next activity was another drum right by me and a big bloody spotlight while I was feeding! I guess I am having my dislike of public bf knocked out of me by force!

 

[molly85]

sounds fun pb, lol you have lovely feeding bras and huge boobs be proud lol I'mmore embaressednow i need to whip a bottle out its like i have to explain myself strange person i am.

can someone tell abby she is doing her hungry cry so bleeding eat don't scream more

 

[tas1]

Kate I hope your grandad is ok sounds hopeful though that he is up and talking! Fingers crossed for you!

Madly I would be peed off too my MIL sometimes comes across like that and I thought she would do the same but she asked if I was getting Cadens first uniform so I said yes then she asked if she could so we had more so i said yes then my mum is buying one too so I won't need to do any washing til the weekend lol but I thought it was nice she asked as she normally just gets stuff maybe I have moaned at my OH too much so he has told his mum lol!!

Pb sounds fun I wish stuff like that would happen here but S****horpe is boring! Hope your lens is ok!

Abby eat your super and give mummy a rest!!!

Haven't seen cat post for a while or have I and have forgotten coz my brain is rubbish but anyway hope your ok and Bailey is being good!!

Also hope Alex Noah Jacob inidigo Abby Charlie (sorry if I have forgotten any) and the unborn babies are being good and hope mummies have a good night sleep xx

 

[tas1]

I hope teagan and Dylan are being good as well xx

Too many babies to remember lol my brain is too small lol

 

[molly85]

She fell asleep midwinge lol

 

[madcatwoman]

Nomore!

Madly so good to hear charlie is sleeping thru.Oh and our MILs are both at it again.Mine turned up yesterday(supposed to be every other sat but now shes using excuses like"dropping things off"&DH lets her in)Brought a relative with her.was having a rare moment where he was guzzling his bottle down in one and she started tugging his leg...distracting him,i was SO cross.I did say "its best not to distract him" but she carried on.In the end I asked DH to tell her not to do it next time shes he,i was so mad as usually he snacks.

Vbaby,im lovingTeagans Hair&the clip, she looks older than Bailey!,although the top of his hair is catching up nicely with the sides now
sounds like youre getting real broody again.They say you forget the pregancy pains and the horror of labour,im still reliving it,im quite happy sticking to one,but i know what you mean as you dont want them to grow up.

Baileys reflux seems under control(just an occassional short bout) but his colic returned last night....'bloody colic'.He wore himself out in the end and slept for hours in my arms for the rest of the evening.

 

[pinkclaire]

Nomore I really hope that everything is ok! My baby sister has a different dad to me and my other sister. Well her grandad died yesterday it's really sad but he was very ill so it was one of those to say it's probably for the best. Not that it makes it any easier to lose someone you love.

Got to go my dogs going crazy back in a min

 

[pinkclaire]

Madcat had he had an overstimulating day? If he had he night needed to just cry. Sometimes baby do that? Trying to keep positive for you it was that and it's not returned. Good his colic is under control!

Food shopping, well ours is about 80 every week, and we don't buy nappies, wipes, alcohol or anything. I must be doing something wrong lol.

Tas you found any more out about your hubby?

Vbaby teagan is so cute! Bless her with her clips already!

Madly I'd be fuming about MIL. It's one thing to ask if you can do it, but another just to go out and do it. And your right, you know who is trying to be helpful and who's trying to piss you off!!

Ozzie I've got the boots freezer bags. Find them easier to store than bottles and you get lots for your money. It's lasted me 2 babies lol. Def express if your engorged please please please make sure you don't get mastitis like me it's the most painful thing and horrid.
Sorry if I've missed anyone I'm surprised I remembered that much lol

 

[madcatwoman]

Ah i know what you mean pink. this was def colic though, his colic comes in waves, like a switch on and off & regular intervals/patterns, one moment hes fine, the next we get painful screams. Rubbing his back helps mildly, &for the 1st time i layed him on his front on a cushion which helped a little too(as i cant carry him on my forearm like they suggest!

 

[PeanutBean]

Maybe it's meat pink? We do have a milkman and quite often make our own bread (though i'm not sure that's cheaper than buying). We buy lots if fresh stuff between the shops too plus a monthly shop at Holland and Barrett that's about £20.

 

[pinkclaire]

We make our own bread as well and grow some veg and salad and stuff lol. Oh well!

Sorry madcat I meant good about his reflux sure you knew what I meant!

My family are doing my head in. James is really challenging at the moment and I am trying to discipline him how I want and my family just interfere. So he'll do something wrong and it'll be me, my mum and my sister all telling him off I keep telling them to leave it to me I'm more than capable! Last night my mum started talking about him right in front of him so I told her not to do that and she said he didn't know she was talking about him. Umm, yes he does! So frustrating cant wait for them to go lol.

 

[vbaby3]

morning everyone,or afternoon!
I went back to bed for a cheeky couple of hrs
Even though dh did the nightfeed
I think I really needed to catch up after the wk,well thats my excuse anyway!

Nomore,hope your grandad is doing ok

Madly,I would be fuming if someone else bought shays uniform.Its killing me to see him growing up,but definately something I want to do,my mam wouldn't dare,and mil wouldn't even know what colour it was lol!!
But its definately a thing for mummies to do,like getting the new school bag and pencil case and stuff.

Madcat,I'm just enjoying teagan so much I don't want the baby stage to endI know realistically speaking another isn't gonna happen.
Saying that,if I did end up pregnant again I will be going private and getting a c section,I'm not going through that again,and honestly I don't think my lady bits couldn't go through a fourth birth.But its not gonna happen anyway,dh wouldn't agree in a million years lol!

Pink,hope you're ok.Was thinking of you and how young james still is
I remember when oran was born I found it such hard work with 2,and shay was 2.Can't imagine trying to look after a newborn and a 1yr old.xx

Tas hope you're ok.x
