Loopy,I would crack up if I didn't go out!
I've always loads of bits and bobs to do in town,and I'm very lucky to have some lovely sahm friends,so we're out and about most days.
I was unsure the 1st time I braved it alone with the 3 into town,but it was mostly ok.Some days are better than others!Even putting 3 in and out of their car seats is a job,especially if you've a few different places you need to drive to!
I think my relaxer tablets helped today too,my kids are probably thinking hhhmmmm mummy is nice and chilled these days lol!!!

On a good note,my lovely gp has got me in with a neurologist.Hopefully end of this wk if he can slot me in,or definately next wk.
See what health insurance does for you over here,1 wk wait if you have it,2 year wait if you don't

Hello ladies.

Loopy call me mad but how about not getting him weighed and thus not seeing the HVs? I agree with madly it's not to do with your OH. I can't imagine DH ever saying anything like I should stop BF. I think in the early difficult weeks with Byron it never occurred go us to switch and we'd both been gutted when bitch HCP made us give formula on day 2 with her ill-founded scare tactics. I agree, do what feels right for you.

I don't remember anything else. Sorry.

Had a busy day. Did I even post this morning? In case not, indigo woke at half 2 to feed then screamed an hour. I thought that was it but then we all slept til 8am, Byron in his own bed. DH let us as we all needed it. Indigo and I are both ill. I still seem to be on the downward. As well as a cough I'm now getting tonsillitis too. Apparently my nephew has had the same thing, ears and eyes then secondary infection stuff. Could do with not feeling like this really.

We had a teddy bear's picnic 12-2. My mum came over as I'm so ill which was sort of a help. Then Byron slept an hour and a half. Dogwalk, Byron's tea then he painted a dinosaur moneybox. DH came home and has taken over. Byron is watching a new film about dragons, I'm lying in the settee with an asleep girl. We have the second part of the comprehension study tomorrow so an early start.

I've spent spare moments on fb and twitter debating the riots.

aw pb sorry you are not just still ill but worse! and loopy i agree with pbs not getting your baby weighed. i never ever ever took leo to the clinic to be weighed, every time the health visitor came round to weigh him she wa slike oh only a lb or oh only 2 lbs well that to me is growth, he is a 4 week old baby wearing 3-6 month clothes so he is fine buggar off! he was drinking the amount for a 3 month old as well not that they ever asked how much he was drinking, if i could avoid even one health visitor visit this time round i would be a very very pleased mummy lol

well my mia for the day is down to day 2 of happy leo!!! my dad came round today and my dad is a wind up merchant, doesnt matter how old you are 95 (his gfs nan) or 2 (leo) lol and leo normally tires of being tickled quickly and starts smacking him around, he got tickled, he got tickled and thrown in the air longer than ever and although he got tired of it eventually he just went no nana op (all grandparents are nana or nana op lol) dad puts him down and no slapping! honestly dad was so shocked he was like errrr he didnt belt me one! welldone you whatever you did lol (i still dont know!)

 

[tas1]

Hope you feel better pb!! Try get as much sleep as you can as sleep makes you better apparently!

Yey Kate glad Leo is still being good fingers crossed he stays like this!

Hope the riots aren't affecting anyone!

My back is hurting so bad,from where I had my epi all the way up,ive taken some pain killers and have a heat patch on to see if it helps! I'm thinking of going to doctors about it actually coz it could make me cry if I let it

Xx

Evening Ladies :wave:

Loopy that sounds exactly like me everytime the HV came and weighed Oliver I would call DH at work in tears One day DH decided to be there for the appointment and when she started making noises about coming again he said `we know where the clinic is if we want to see you again!` needless to say she didnt push the issue He was fed up, in a nice way of seeing me so upset so we focused on the positive things and avoided getting him weighed He was happy,alert and feeding at his own pace That said I can also understand the obsession because I am obsessed over Charlie and is weight Thats only because I know he weighes 1lb5oz less than Oliver did at this exact age and there were concerns over Oliver weight I know you cant compare babes but the best comparision has to be brothers who were only 1oz different at birth I think if its at all possible you shouldnt get Dylan weighed AND maybe I should reep my own advice

NOMORE sounds like Leo has def turned a corner when you work out what you did maybe you could share

Peanut for bugs ... I saw the `riot` discussions on FB and a teddy bears picnic sounds good might have to try that one we made `bottle people` today which was quite fun

vbaby glad you have an appointment sorted I admire you I find it hard with two even though Oliver is `mostly` behaved but 3 under 5 I would say is a challenge which am sure you wouldnt have any other way .... I do wonder I must admit what it would be like if I had another one on the way you know Oliver been nearly six, Charlie been a year old by the time baby arrived and a baby Not sure DH would go for it though hes still talking about the snip

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Tas I am convinced my lower back/tailbone problems are down to the epi too because it hurts from the epi site down

 

[tas1]

How do you make bottle people?

I'm hoping it's not another sign of a period coz I have only just stopped after 7weeks but then I had the same back pain while I was feeding! I have to stop what I'm doing and arch my back or rub or move to try make the pain go!

Xx

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw ladies i know what you mean about back pain, i had back pain from the epi several months afterwards!

 

[tas1]

I bet you have worse back ache than us,I dont feel like I have had a break from backache had it all through pregnancy and now now!

Xx

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Tas we covered empty bottles which I washed and dried out and covered with masking tape so we could paint them we used plastic balls (you know the ones that go in them ball pits!) for the heads and we stuck on pipe cleaners and straws for arms and legs and got some of those google eyes and used pompoms for noses a bit odd looking but we had fun

 

[molly85]

no backache here few but one screaming very tierd baby thats hardly eatten so had to be drugged as she sounded in pain and nothing was working got her in bed by 9 though.

I am sat here assemblinmg her bonce bounce baby and matts watching footy.

 

[PeanutBean]

Riots in manchester now. Very disappointed. There's rumours about my local town too but they haven't been confirmed by any reputable source. It's so awful.

Indigo was asleep by 8pm. In a state much of her awake time. I think she must be feeling like me. I'm kind of getting delirious. DH made me go to bed. But I'm on here. Don't think I have a temp but definitely wrong in the head anyway. Not looking forward to getting up early to visit the scene of riots.

I have back ache. Did with both babes but sure it's the not the epi or spinal but the amount of time I spend hunched.

 

[sequeena]

Popping in with a quick hello. Hours escape me and it's almost time to booby feed Thomas and then Sean can top him up with formula. Wish me luck... will try my inverted nipple first

 

[molly85]

champion. eugh unj happy baby matt did her night feed but still an un happy baby and a unhap[py matt not been back to sleep so am sat alone with a slleep ing baby and half a bottle grrrr.

Hugspb maybe don't go or ask your mum to take him

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Morning Ladies :wave:

How are we all today?

Charlie went 11pm-6.45am so am hoping we are over the growth spurt

Today we are indoors again because its bloody gahhhhhhhhh!

 

[PeanutBean]

We went in the end. Seemed the lesser evil compared to a whole day indoors. My mum is an hour away and busy so I can't usually call on her to help.

It was quick and we were soon home. Byron snoozed about 10 mins which I'm praying won't ruin naps later. Poor Indigo has only just fed since half 6. She's well out of sorts.

 

[loopylollipop]

It sounds of pure poorlieness in the PB household I hope you are all feeling better soon I hope the riots didnt get too close to home. It is very frightening for people. I am surprised Bradford hasnt kicked off big time, the tensions here are usually on a knife edge and can only be so much of a rumour that sets it off. Worked in A&E through both major riots and it was terrible.

Yay for Charlie Madly

Molly wondering if its something in the air. Dylan has gone from sleeping well to be very tetchy and feeding or thinking he needs to feed when he really needs to sleep.

Nice weather spell over. Bum.

Pic of Dylan on mat last night. Made me chuckle when I turned to talk to him.

 

[PeanutBean]

Good pic loopy!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Cute pic Loopy

Well seems like the inland revenue are getting better at refunding me my 1k over payment of tax I just got a cheque for short of 200.00 Can send another claim in as of 17th

DH got offered a contracting position in London paying 650.00 a daily DH is not a London fan and straight away when he heard it was based in London said I was hoping I could get him to see the benefits now after the riots I have no hope Am sure something else will come up I have faith

We are now on day 5 of weaning and we are doing superbly heres our menu so far

Day 1 & 2 - Cow & Gate baby rice
Day 3 - Butternut Squash
Day 4 - Butternut Squah & Pear ( not together )
Day 5 - Pear mixed with Cow & Gate baby rice

Charlie loves it his food so far I have been giving him his `meal` at lunchtime except yesterday he had butternut squash for lunch and pear for tea Yesterday and today when me and Oliver sat down for lunch he started creating, I knew he wasnt hungry for milk cause he had just been fed so I went and brought in his bowl of food .... biggest cheekiest grin I have ever seen both days as soon as he realised he was getting food He chunters when its gone too

 

[vbaby3]

Hi everyone,

Sorry you're feeling so shite peanut.x

madly my tailbone is completely busted too and i didn't have an epi.Mines from a posterior 9lb baby i think!!
I'd say your is from a 10lb forceps baby.

Gorgeous pic loopy.

Well just got my neurologist appointment through for next wednesday morning.Thank god i've only a wk to wait.
Weather is shit here too.We were down my friends all morning,just home now and feeding baba.Hoping she'll have a long snooze then and me and the boys will watch a movie or something and chill.

Madly,lol you sound like you wouldn't mind another lo!!!!!!
Do not let dh get the snip until you are a million percent sure.
We're 99.999999999999999% sureWe're finished,and we've talked about dh getting the snip.
However I've said I'll happily go back on the pill for a couple of years until we'vve reached that absolute 100%!!
