Madcat is your bunny the same as Byron's, the bashful bunny? If so the fur is too long. If it were knitted or cotton or similar I wouldn't worry so long as it's not so big it could smother. If the toy is furry they might swallow clumps when sucking it (as baby's suck everything) so it's not advised for them to be left with them.

We had a funny night. Indigo slept loads yesterday then got really upset at about half 11 from snot and some tummy pains. Took a good while to settle her and meant cosleeping for the first time. Then she slept til 6.20am.

It's a gorgeous day. DH is going to a comic con. What to do?

 

[madcatwoman]

no rolling here!, he tried once but has stopped since.

im mortified, ive done a gilz lol. just put my jeans in the wash and saw a huge splodge of blood on the bum where everyone can see, must have happened when i was sat down and a bit 'heavy' no idea howlong is been there, but ive been out a fair bit so im sure people have seen!

 

[PeanutBean]

Indigo is rolling. She did first back to tum last Wed and did first tum to back yonks ago then not again for ages.

 

[madcatwoman]

sorry, just seen youre reply peanut. the bunny is about twice the length of my hand with very short fur which he sucks on daily/gobbed on!, it doesnt come out though

 

[molly85]

I wouldnt have a clue on cuddlys i have a muslin hugger.
Tas tell himwere topoke it, get yourself back tocollege you shouldget help with childcare and get your level 3. Your children will not blame you for it I promise.

Abby can roll on her side from front and back she just doesn't lazy moose, asfor head lift vary rarely when doing tummy time but can sit up with only lower back support. she doeslift her bum when on her front and tyry to wiggle/crawl which isfunny to watch.

yawn pants night inbed before 9 and ibartley slept before 1 matt got up with abby

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw well done bailey! he is sleeping better than me! lol

aw tas, why would he not trust you? big hugs xkx

my night was awful, i couldnt shake that whole nasty woman at funeral thing out my head and decided it distracted me so much that i feel like i didnt get a chance to say goodbye to him properly, i was just concentrating on really really not slapping her one i was so mad. i think he is going to be scattered with my nan in the downs but i have no idea where abouts so might go there some time and just walk around and think about him. stupid woman.

when i finally fell asleep i must have woken up about ten times with what felt remarkably like contractions, i was so tired that once they were over i fell back asleep, didnt think to look at the time each time or anything, i am thinking perhaps they were just painful braxton hicks but everytime i got up and walked or changed position it would either stay the same or get worse . . . . havent had any for a couple of hours now so thinking prob was just painful braxtons

 

[molly85]

theyd still be here if they were of any use

 

[gilz82]

Wow Noah is so far behind with the rolling over etc. He's 10 weeks correct tomorrow so I'd imagine he should be starting to attempt these things but I can't put him flat on his back or tummy.

He does hold his head really well when sitting or on my shoulder as he spends all of his time almost sitting up.

 

[gilz82]

Oh and Nomore sorry about the woman at your grandpa's funeral. There were loads of those type of people at my mums funeral. Mostly teenagers as my sisters were all still at school at the time but it made me so angry on an already shitty day.

 

[PeanutBean]

Don't worry Gilz, the hv asked me if Indigo was rolling (before Wed!) so I said not since a couple early on and she said oh well it's normally about 4 months. God only knows why she asked me then!

Morning Ladies :wave:

Well I got to see baby Harry and my Sister yesterday She is doing really well considering she only had her c-section less than 24hrs ago shes already on her feet and recovering well My Nephew however is still on the neonatal unit but I went down with my Sister yesterday in place of my Mum (her birthing partner!) who stayed on the ward with my Niece, my Sisters other LO ..... hes a little cutie pie, he has my Niece`s cute button nose and he has a head full of jet black hair infact he has more hair than Charlie does right now I was very surprised to see that when I looked at him hes the absolute spitting image of Charlie except the black head of hair of course He looked so tiny surrounded by all the tubes and wires and the little noise he was making made him sound like a little kitten My Sister has done amazingly well and I am so proud of her ... she was yesterday I have said it before and I say it again `nothing can prepare you for having your baby taken away at birth!` shes feeling really down right now so my Mum has gone down to spend some time with her and Harry and I have my Niece today We have an house full with all three kids Basically baby Harry has a collapsed lung which is called pneumothorax caused by delivery even though he was delivered by c-section hes on 100% oxygen and is been fed by the saline stuff The plan is once he is well enough to come off oxygen they will try to bottle feed him however if they feel he needs to stay on oxygen longer they will put a NG tube in and he will be fed by that until he comes off oxygen right now hes settled loads overnight but is still making the grunting and kitten like noises .... the consultant reckons that Harrys body will repair itself through the 100% oxygen and there such be no need for a further procedure however me been me I googled to see what this might mean if he doesnt pick up soon and it basically means they will put a syringe into his chest cavity and draw out the air so his collapsed lung rights itself I dare not tell my Sister at this stage `what` might happen so we are keeping our thoughts to ourselves right now

off to catch up now

 

[gilz82]

Aw Madly I hope your sisters little man gets better soon. They'll take great care of him in neonatal. The tubes and wires are very intimidating but you have to tell your sister to try not to focus on them or the monitors. They won't be there for long hopefully

Thanks Peanut he's a while away from 4 months corrected so I'll not worry about rolling just yet

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw madly your poor sister, you are so right that no one can prepare you for not having your baby with you xkx your poor sister

sounds like it is a nasty condition but one they are able to handle really well i have my fingers crossed for a nice speedy recovery - oh and doctor google is the absolute worse at times like these.

so i was closing down all the tabs left open from the internet last night and spotted one that needed chatting about. my dh is buying life insurance for me (and also him in addition to his work one) which yeah in sensible but the reason for it is because he thinks i am going to die in the operation so i said to him, it is not what i want but if you are that scared of me dying then i am willing to go and speak to a professional in the next week about vbac answer no no no no you might both die lol lol lol erm . . . . . . thanks lol lol lol my dh has fantastic timing, me i would be going no hun everything is going to be fine i love you but when he comes round would be like oh my god i thought you were going to die . . .you know like AFTER

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Peanut grrrr @ families I agree with Molly puppy over grandkids says it all

Ozzie well done you and Alex on the feeding and for the rolling over

NOMORE @ the coffin gawper honestly some people we had a few at my grandad funeral too we call them the `noisy neighbours` and great news that your MW is standing your corner

Tas men can be such idiots sometimes imo say you did get work then he would have to help out with the boys and house a whole lot more than he does now and from what I can see he doesnt seem to want to help out now so what would he do if you left the boys with him each evening to go to work like he suggests There would be no games console for him then infact it would be a life of looking after his kids ... bottles, nappy changing, juggling bedtime and then all the household chores, do marigolds suit him?!?!?!?!?! ... honestly hon call his `bluff` say `ok I will look for an evening job so when you come home I will go it work!` bet hes not so quick to suggest you work then imo `some` men want it all ways and they are so quick to forget they made these babies as well We are not superwomen we come bloody well close a majority of the time but honestly a little bit of help goes a long way and as for spending money if its on bills and the boys is that not what he works to pay for I went shopping on Monday and bought stuff for the boys and for a rare change treated myself to a new top it was only 8.00 and I charged it all to my account and then had DH transfer to money from his account to mine so he paid for it DH dare not say anything to me about the money I spend anymore after we too had words because I hardly spend anything on myself except for bus fares or the odd sandwich tbh and then I walk most places these days. He always questioned everything I did or spent and I told him if I was going to be a SAHM for the majority I needed some space because I wouldnt have my own money and his wage would be our household income therefore he would be paying for everything in return I would take on all childcare and household chores during his working hours but when he came home on an evening or a weekend I would expect him to chip in and help I do as much as I can in the house cleaning wise and quite often he has to do very little but we if are having a very bad week then he has more to do and he has to except that been a SAHM can be as challenging as going to the office for the day and at the end of it all we made these boys together they are not `mine` they are `ours`

madcat Charlie has `daisy` in his crib with him `daisy is a cows head with a muslin skirt attached so I would say if he could suffocate on anything it would be that because its a large square piece of material I`m quite laid back about this sort of thing tbh and Oliver had his `baby` a very similar comfort blanket in with him from an early age Charlie likes to have `daisy` up near his face and he will go to sleep holding it against his cheek but will nearly always wake up having kicked it to the bottom of the crib imo its each to there own and its pretty much how you feel about it children quite often pull `comfort` toy over there face and it doesnt matter how many times you remove it they will always pull it back over

As for rolling over Charlie has done it an handful of times but much rather prefers for some reason to do it at baby class than at home funny child

NOMORE bless your DH I swear this was one of the reasons why my DH didnt want to try for number 2 for so long I think after our bad delivery with Oliver he was so scared it might be worse next time round

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I have two sleeping babies and a nagging Oliver

 

[molly85]

lol nomore i'm pretty surehe has left it to late for death in child birth cover I know our cover had to be running 11 months to get money for abby you won't die you might feel like it for 5 minutes then you will be fine.

Madly that procedure sounds worse than it is. If you watch casualty its wher they jab a needle through the rib cage the relief is always better thsn the intial pain hes a brave little boy so he will handle it fine. I am sure with or with out the procedure he will be up and screaming soon enough Yikes all 3 of them busy day.


We're going to the beach with my neighbour and we are meeting another baby and a whole load of other people so excited. just got to get us ready

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Have fun Molly

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

that was my point to him lol lol lol it was more the mention of i think you will die that got me lol like build me up yeah section is the best for us i am supportive then bam you will die! lol omg! timing! doi! the fact i worry about that anyway doesnt help lol never mind

gah i really want to go outside but it will be too hot for me going to have to plan lots of morning trips and then indoor visits next week, it is supposed to be 30c on wednesday . . . . that means prob will already be too hot for me from like 10am . . .

i am hoping that dh is doing a better rota for me next week, i dont need him to take any days off other than one but two would be great but please today is day 9 of me looking after leo on my own all day long (dh isnt great at the out of the house boredom tactics so i did most of it yesterday) and the soonest he will have a daytime off is next wednesday and even then potentially not . . . and will most certainly need a lay in . . .

how are you finding things gilz? your dh is back at weekends isnt he? fantastic weather for you both to get outside and enjoy!

 

[molly85]

nomore i feel your pain matt did 11 nights in a row then was sod all use i think i may have yelled at him enough to get the hint

3o degrees wahhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[PeanutBean]

I was very afraid of dying in childbirth when preg with Byron. I was totally confident with Indigo though. I'd had this awful image of DH and his baby without me.

We're having a troublesome day. It's lovely weather so I hoped to go out somewhere but the whole morning has slipped by. Indigo screaming and being sick from snot, Byron waking her and being naughty. We've done some painting in the garden which always looks and sounds far more fun than it is! Now he's not eating his lunch but Indigo has crashed out on me so I can't shove it in his mouth. Lovely days are wasted on children!

Sounds like you'll enjoy the beach Molly. Our nearby beaches are all a bit crap. I miss Northumberland.
