Mother of all conception months Graduates

[Ozzieshunni]

Well, I have a screamer. Not long after I posted Alex started sobbing his heart out and would not be soothed at all. We finally gave in and gave him Paracetamol and he calmed down shortly thereafter. DH and I are have another fight over the same old crap and I want to fly home to see my family so badly right now

 

[tas1]

Aww Ozzie sorry your having a hard time! Men can be do insensitive sometimes! Do you know when you will get chance to go over? And he will feel the same when you move over there so you can get your own back on him

Xx

How old are they PB? and they into more natural parenting lsimiler to your style or are the every gadget under the sun people?

I've just given abby a new wooden spoon lol i keep getting her random bits like this

 

[molly85]

yikes i actually feel like doing the family list now. Scare myself stupid at the cost

 

[Ozzieshunni]

tas, we're planning to go over in June next year for his first birthday. It's very important to me. We're going to Thomas Cook tomorrow to see about flights because DH gets a discount there. They are also doing a deal for Inverness. £89pp including two nights at a BB and rail fare, so DH and I will more than likely be able to go for my birthday in November. First time we'll leave wee man alone though, but I think we'll need the time away at that point and he'll be 5 months old so no worries there.

 

[molly85]

Thanks everyone,i am on cloud 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for xmas pressies,we get my mam and dad,my brother and sister,my niece here,and my niece and nephew in oz.
As far as dh's side go,we get his mam a pressie and thats it.It was decided between the lot of us before xmas last year,that it was getting beyond ridiculous,every year there's a couple more nieces/nephews,we're breeding like rabbits!
So we just do nice birthday gifts.The kids get that much toys from santa anyway,having 3 or 4 extra pressies from dh's family wouldn't even be noticed if i''m honest.And it definately took the pressure off last year!

Well Teagan had her3 month check up this morning.She is bang on 14lbs,and 63cm's.
She's just on the 50th centile for weight,and nearly the 91st centile for height,so she's long and slim,like her mam lol NOT!!I'm just long!
She's quite a bit lighter than the boys were at 15wks,especially considering she was a lot heavier at birth than them,but she's still healthy,and apparently has a small head
Also the creases in her thighs aren't matching,is that a sign of hip problem?they were fine at her 6 wk check.
The hv told me to take her to my gp.

She also did the nutty test on me,which i just answered the least nuttiest i could so wouldn't have to explain myself.I've had the most stressful month of my life and was feeling beyond nutty lol!!but didn't wanna have to go into it with her,I know the stress and anxiety has already gone since yesterday and i'm on top of the world!

She also talked me through weaning,as though i haven't done it twice already
Anyhow,interestingly she said they keep changing the recommended weaning age,they had put it back to 6 months,but were in the process of moving it closer to 4months.
I asked her was that the irish guidelines or the WHO guidelines.and she said the WHO.
Don't know how accurate that is,coz this woman seems a little nutty herself!
Anyway i doubt i'll be weaning at 4 months,as lil miss teagan has no interest and she's doing fine growthwise

 

[vbaby3]

Oh meant to mention my REALLY REALLY BAD MUMMY moment today.
A hairdressers has just opened up in our wee village,I was all excited coz it means I don't have to drag the boys into town for the barbers and stuff.Anyway I said we'd walk down and see if she could fit the boys in for a trim.
I just took the single pram for teagan and let the boys walk,all holding hands!!
When we got to the hairdressers I opened the door,turned the buggy backwarks to pull up the step,but let go it for a second to usher the boys inside,in that split second the buggy started moving,and ended up off the pavement and on the road.I had to literally shove oran in the hairdressers and leap after the buggy.Thank god there were no cars coming.My heart skipped several beats.My god,the pavement didn't even look like it was slanted,but it obviously was
Moral of the story ladies,if you take your hand off your buggy even for a second put the brake on!!
Now what would they do to me in baby club for that??!!!
I feel so awful

 

[molly85]

Go teagan, would love to see her next to abs?

I've actually found someone on here that lives a mile away from me with a baby born the same day so they would be ingtresting to line up.

LOL i nearly didn't pass the 8 week nutty test all over a bit of feeding so those tests are rubbish

Madly do you know what you failed yours on? Do you feel PND ish? or is it the fact you've had a dodgy test a dodgy Hubby a sick baby and a five year old on school holidays? and a sore bum? Yikes thats making me feel a bit dodgy.

 

[molly85]

Vbaby thats one for my jprnal repost there please. just click on the naughty mummy

 

[vbaby3]

If I'd had the double buggy with me it wouldn't have happened,its shit and really hard to push,and wouldn't budge an inch if you didn't push it.
My single 3 wheeler just glides effortlessly,even onto roads unaided apparently.
I probably have a few bad mummy stories!!
I also dropped the full big long hoover attachment through the bannisters upstairs,You wouldn't have managed to get this attachment through the bannisters even if you tried,but the 1 in a million chance that it would actually bend the correct way to find its way through,and then the 1 in a million chance that 10 month old oran would be in the hall in the exact spot where it fell
It was as though it happened in slow motion,and he looked up so it hit him in the face,his eye was bleeding.
I was crying,it was soooo awful.Took him straight to doc on call,and his eye was perfect once it healed.
Thats the 2 worse things I've ever done,Shay seemed to get away relatively unscathed!!

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

that is defo naughty mummy thread material lol lol one of my friends actually did the impossible and left her baby in a shop once! imean come on! your own child lol lol lol

my worst fear is leaving leo at the side of the road and me zooming off in my car thinking i have put him in his seat and then not realising for like ages . . . i blame my friend for me thinking that lol lol

gah men, honestly just had a convo with dh because on every one of his days off he is so deflated and depressed and he said that life was difficult, i dont see what is difficult with having all the housework done for you, your dinner ready for you every day, your clothes all cleaned and ironed, all childcare done even when you are here, getting lay ins like today -10.5 hours sleep!- getting breakfast andcoffee in bed, being able to pay your bills without worrying that you have enough to cover it, and having a wife that not only does all those things but doesnt complain about it! todays rant for him, the kitchen is a mess, well if you will make yourself supper at 11pm not tidy it up make a complete mess doing so and then add to it in the morning it will be a mess wont it!!! and oh my god he moaned about having to do one lot of washing up! i do like 5 a day!!! and it was all his stuff!! argggggh stop moaning!!!!!!!!!!

he said i hope it gets easier soon . . .. wtf!!! this is as easy as it blinking well gets without a lottery win! ds wants something allthe time, yes he is a toddler! and what does he want a cuddle! not exactly taxing!!! grrrr


sorry to rant on here yet again but its things that i could really blow up at him for and cause a major strop fest for the rest of the day or i rant here and let it go until we have both calmed down a bit. but gah stop moaning!!! lol

 

[molly85]

I've just had a moment too, but it was under DH's watch! The cat, in a playful manner, pawed the top of his head and he has a wee scratch there I know it's nothing, but I called NHS24 just to double check. They are going to call back, but they asked if he was sleepier than normal and I can't bloody tell cause he had his jabs yesterday and has been sleeping a lot today. Is that normal, btw? He screamed last night, fell asleep at 11pm, work up at 1am for a feed, back down again until 5am, up at 8am for a feed and then asleep until 12pm, now he's asleep on my lap again. He never slept this much before! Yay for paranoid mommy

Tried the conditioner trick, Madly and I'm waiting to see if it works

 

[vbaby3]

Paranoid mummy works overtime when its your 1st baby ozzie,I was a regular caller to the nurseline with shay!
You do relax as time goes on,and by the time your on your 3rd,sure they raise themselves lol!!
I'm sure alex is fine.x

 

[Ozzieshunni]

She said not to worry, just keep an eye on it. It was DH that asked me to call actually, lol.

 

[PeanutBean]

Lol I think we only rang NHS direct once, the first time Byron got his teething temps so we didn't know what it was. I just assume everything is fine unless it is apparent that it is not.

Busy morning for me. The girl slept so I did washing and hoovering and tidying. Got my photo albums from boots - they had literally just arrived at the shop so not impressed. I'd gone specially to get them and would've been pissed off if they hadn't arrived.

My relations are 12, 12, 3, 10, 4, 8, 8, 8, 1, 1, 3. Dunno how my Oz brother parents. Sil is pretty natural. Sister fairly so, maybe more gadgety.

 

[PeanutBean]

Then sils/bil on DH's side are 14, 15 and 16.

 

[sequeena]

I'm on my way to buy a carbon monoxide detector because my Cnut landlord didn't provide one and hasn't had our boiler checked in the almost 2 years we've lived here. I'll kill the landlord if it's leaking

 

[gilz82]

Sequeena that's illegal. All boilers must be serviced and checked every year at the cost of the landlord. The tenant should receive a copy of the certificate and one for the landlord to retain. If anything was to happen to the house caused by the boiler and he hasn't done this it will invalidate any buildings insurance he holds on the property.

Sorry not read anything else that just bugged me.
