Lol always the case when your not prepared! He did drift off to sleep after two dummy drops so I put abit of calpol on it and he went straight to sleep wish my eldest would of done that,Caden finally went to sleep an hour and half after we put him to bed,think he is getting jealous again!
I was just thinking whilst sterilising washing up tiding up downstairs before going to bed that mummies jobs never end,when babies and children are asleep it's tiding up so it looks ok in the morning and even when we are asleep we are still listening out for our babies or children just in case they wake........and for men they stop when they get home from work lazy gits well mine is anyway lol!

I've got the MIL coming round in morning so I can cut her hair :s which means I'll have to Hoover up and dust before she comes so it looks like I'm coping,I hate the thought of her thinking oh she isn't taking care of my son properly lol I'm sad I know but I too will think like that one day lol
Think I might bake with Caden tomorrow as well......I got a recipe off Internet for scones which said nothing about eggs but my OH and mum said you do put eggs in scones do you?

Aaarrrggghhh hate being awake I keep thinking I can hear things outside!! I got a big torch that shines all the way down our drive so I do a check before j go to bed out of the window of course lol

Tas, never a truer word spoken.

I made a batch of scones last week and put the amount they told me to of baking powder but didn't rise much so I'll try today putting loads in!

It is true madcat! That's why we should get spoilt on mothers day lol

Seems promising outside today so I may step into the garden and cut the grass so Caden can play on it but first gotta get the MIL out of the way lol

&Theres no way on earth im spending my 1st mothers day with Dh's mum either. After all i do, why the hell should i. its going to be a very selfish me day!.

 

[tas1]

Lol I expect that too but when it's fathers day I go let's go out with my dad then see yours lol when my OH does more be might deserve an all day fathers day lol

Xx

 

[madcatwoman]

well i was good. I let him have fathers day as his day this year, i thought that i couldnt expect to have mothers day all to myself if i expect him to share his fathers day with my dad.
My dad is quite good about it though and says to me to concerntrate on our own little family etc and not to be spending money on him, his mum on the other hand likes the attention,money to be spent etc etc, used to getting what she wants.

 

[tas1]

Luckily everyone says that to us too but I still buy for my parents and not my in laws coz it should be from there son,I dont mind getting a present from the boys or them but that's it,this year my OH forgot to get his dad anything and they came round so he had tk go out and get something he got him a tent magazine and chocolate lol I did think it was funny!
Just waiting for my MIL to come round,my house looks tidy and Ive bathed Caleb and now he's asleep,it's just Caden who needs to get dressed but he's eating his chocoakte spread lol oh a break through he likes frosties but dry so I need to get him to like milk next!!

Xx

 

[madcatwoman]

yeh i just get my dad a card, dh dad says the same too,but ian always gets him a bottle of something, but his mum likes flowers, meals out , presents etc. It cost a fortune last year and money we really didnt have,and with only one of us working and a baby to pay for she really should have told us to do the same as our dads did. Unfortunately it was a real expensive meal out organised by Dhs brother&wife, they told us they would split the cost, when we got to the till we realised it was the most expensive menu we had ever seen

 

[tas1]

We do that and £50 to me is quite expensive especially when you have two kids and only one wage! My sister has a good job and is really good with money so she never struggles so she doesn't mind spending loads on meals out!
I wish the weather would decide what it's doing coz I wanna put washing out but scared too lol

Xx

 

[madcatwoman]

yep.our last meal came to £70!! BIL is a carpenter and his wife is a manager for rbs bank, so money is neither here nor there for them.



wow!!!! i noticed that soft spot thing pulsating just now, if you lot hadnt spoken about it id have probably been a bit concerned lol!

 

[tas1]

It's freaky ain't it??

Caleb is getting fussy abit his milk the last 3oz takes him ages to drink it then he leaves an ounce,he has either got a complex about everyone saying how big he is and is putting himself on a diet or those injections have effected him this time!

Once Caleb is asleep think me and Caden will bake some stuff depends if he carries on being naughty but I know he's bored and the park closiests to us is in a rough bit and the fair is on the next field so I don't fancy taking him for to have a tantrum because he can't go to the fair (were going tomorrow with daddy not that daddy knows this lol)

I have a very sleepy baby today! He's usually up by 10ish and we both slept until 12 He had a feed, fussed for a bit, and is sleeping on my lap now. I wonder if he's growing....

 

[madcatwoman]

i too have a sleepy baby today, hes fed and slept, fed and slept!!

 

[vbaby3]

Hi everyone!
Well it seems we're on a roll!!
Teagan did even better last night!I put her to bed at 9.15 pm and she slept right through until 9am again
Madcat I'm just kinda following her lead.The last few nights she drained her 5oz bottle so I ended up giving her another couple of ounces,so that must be whats stopping her waking hungry.
We've also had to up the bottles to 6ozs,and 7 in the bedtime one,as we can't fit more than 4 bottles into her waking hrs lol!!
It takes at least an hr and a half to get them into her,but we eventually get them mostly drained,you just have to keep going back to them!
The even more wonderful thing is,I put her down in her cot last night wide awake.She was happy as anything,lying there talking to herself,looking around her lovely room.I kept nipping up and peeping in at her,and she just closed her eyes and dozed off after half an hr
What a lovely wonderful daughter I have,I just adore her!!

 

[PeanutBean]

Well done Teagan!

I don't get the mothers/fathers day stuff. We just give cards and didn't do fathers day at all as it's a new invention. When I went to church as a kid we used to give daffodils on mothers day and of course did breakfast in bed but obviously that's redundant as a grown up! We never spend loads of money on anyone.

I had rubbish sleep. We didn't get to bed til about midnight then I some suddenly at 4am and had to have a pee. Had insomnia worries about prolapse for a whole then some time after Indigo woke to feed. Dozed again briefly then Byron came in about half 5 and then we were all awake at 6am. So not much sleep really at all!

We've been to Eureka today. Had an excellent day. Left early enough to not worry about traffic and hopped off the m62 before queue warning for a relaxed drive over Saddleworth moors and through E Lancs towns. Nearly home now. I got indigo a couple of things for the pram at last and Byron got some gruffalo stuff - a bag for nursery and a lovely apron and painting set we'll give him for Christmas or birthday some time.

bailey tends to fall asleep by8, i try to feed him before bed but hes too tired to take anymore lol!. He does always leave milk in his 5oz bottles, maybe i should do as you say and try a little harder for him to finish them off, he should be on 180ml now but hes still on 150 because he wont take anymore!

 

[vbaby3]

Do what you think best madcat,i wasn't forcing extra on her,she just drained the bedtime bottle so i increased it,and its from then on that she's slept through.
To be honest,her sleeping til 9am isn't really doing me any favours as the boys are up at 7ish,so I would rather put her down to bed at 7.30 or 8,and have her waken same time as the boys,That way i'd have some ME time in the evening,or ME AND DH TIME LOL!!
Saying all that I won't look a gifhorse in the mouth,and just appreciate the sleep lol!!

I think I persevere with the bottles so much because she's only taking about 24ounces a day,so I have to really keep going at the bottles til she finishes or she wouldn't be getting near enough.

Bailey is doing great as he is I think,if he's in bed at 8 at night,and goes til6am thats good going.You'll probably find he'll start gradually sleeping in later and later.My ideal for teagan would be 7.30-7.30.Thats the way I had the boys sleeping,but probably not for another month or 2 at least!

 

[molly85]

vbaby i do the same with abby as i can get 3oz inno probs but then you know shes still hungry so a good burping session later and a bit of a break the other 2 go down butshes clear 2 5 oz bottles today so might be giving some 6ozs soon. she only has 5 bottles a day.
I'm such an idiot after finally getting her off between 9.30 and 10last night i was still up gone midnight so gave her a dream feed ( was dead impressed she didi this then she slept til 6! why didn't i go to bed????????? 8 hiours sleep i missed wahhhhhh then she went back to sleep til 9! if anyone sees me online after 9 tonight shoot me.

we went to bounce and rhyme at the library, abby decided to puke lovely but we had a gd time, i have asked somemums of younger babies to come to the tuesday group as the other babies are crawling if not walking. Abby is now a member of the library and is taking part in the book crawl. if she visis the library 4 times she gets a certificate. The library lady suggested abby might chew books what? she doesn't hold anything heavier thanher dummy.

I have got matt the big jigs catalouge we could be getting alot of train stuff
