Oooh Serina how can you cope with the night garden, it drives me potty, i have to turn in off lol, like teletubbies, they just really wind me up (altho everything winds me up at the mo )

Cath hope all goes well with the MW this arvo, let us know what she says xxxxxx

Well, the boiler repair man has just left. Fingers crossed he's fixed the leak!

Violet's only just fallen asleep too - she's so nosey and wanted to see what the repair man was doing! I hope this doesnt mean she's going to have a late night now!

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Carol xx

serina i sky plus in night garden too!! and something special evie just loves Justin!!

 

[happy mum]

Enjoy the break Carol!!

i don't know what makes a difference with mine sleeping. there never seems a pattern we can have no day sleeps and late to bed and they are still up at 5.30 6am . nothing makes adiference so i just go with the flow in the day and usually have them in bed by 7.30.and they usually sleep till 6 ish? give or take an hour. X

 

[Baci]

Well, someone has woken up with the grumps! (And it isnt me )

I wish Violet was in bed each night by 7.30! I guess I can't complain too much at the moment as at least she's started to sleep through (or very nearly). She's never been one for needing a lot of sleep really. If I'm lucky she'll be in bed by 9, but it can be later as she's still going to sleep on my lap. Kinda thought one step at a time and get her sleeping through first. Sometime she wakes up at 6, but I normally get up at about 7, 7.30ish.

Pity your plumber Jue - three pairs of eyes staring into his back while he's working! I hope they made sure he'd done a good job!

 

[happy mum]

We've always had a strict bedtime. lucky i guess they like it and usually both asllep by 8pm, its my saving grace when had atough day!!

 

[Cariad_bach]

Nats im not sleeping because of pregnancy insomnia (get it every time) the stilly aching in the ankles thing (also get it everytime) and also ...the RAF helicopters are doing night flights this week , Ryan has the loudest cough in the world ever and.....by bump hurts lol not to worry soon i will be so tired none of the above will stop me sleeping

My kids also have a stick bedtime ..and its early, between 6.30 and 7 on a school night and between 7 and 8 at weekends,
I dont allow TV etc in their bedrooms but i do let them play with their teddies etc,
They always get up sooo early (know matter when they go to bed, tried keeping them up for a month and it never helped) and they get so tired.
They actually all love going to bed and trot off up the wooden hill quite happerly thankfully.

 

[Jkelmum]

Ethan is in bed by 7:30 as is katie aged 9 and jake goes at 8:30 both jake and katie hav an extra hr on wkends

Clairey:
Florida now... but was born in Massachusetts (usa) so grew up with cold long winters and spring thaws. (hey now you know why I have the Massa in my name!)

Cath:
How sweet! you never held a newborn? The first one I held my my nephew and he is only four years older than myself. He was ten pounds! so not really a "newborn" more like a month old baby, have a photo and he was half my size at age 4!

Do you have animal shelters? I know here in the states we have tax funded shelters that is for hurt and homeless animals. Need not pay to leave them either if you just found it.

Yes, yes off to lay down and try to sleep I confess to having a coke! and a non coffee drinker like myself can not handle it... should know better *tisk tisk*

Arghh nasty coke , i did that the other night then couldn't sleep!!

i was a au pair in boston for 6 months, little place called Melrose. where were you?

I am glad I am not alone to my devilish behavior drinking coke. But, had been to the OBGYN Doctors and saw a very pregnant woman with a jumbo sized coffee! Boy if I drank that... well would be wound up for 12 hours or more! heck may get some cleaning done because nesting is not setting in at all...

I lived 80 miles west of Boston. But, yes I know of melrose or have heard of it. I spent 22 years living up north.

Florida is nice, but to be honest we have no seasons. The land is very flat. I love mountains and hills with lush green trees! not here... guess you can not get everything you want.

 

[massacubano]

and jue is probably making pancakes again lol.

cath are you going out while your friends are staying? i still have to think of places to take my grandparents.

i think we should all live in a big house once we have had the babies and all the mothers (Nats, Jue, Serina, Kathy etc) can show you and me what to do!! xx

awe how sweet! that would be fun all us new moms can take turns getting up... I am sure you will do just fine Clairey. I honestly had no clue what to do with a newborn baby when my first came. The internet was not something everyone used. I had no connection or help. Matter fact had no idea they did not sleep! that was a shocker!

i had insomnia in both my last pgs. not too bad this time so far fingers crossed!! its so hard isn't it. i used to watch birthing programs on sky at like 3am. trouble is a lot of them are repeats now. so i'm hoping to not be joining you at 3am on the sofa, in the nicest possible meaning!!
hope you get some sleep soon!!

To top this bloody cold i now have diareah!!! was sick on tue night thought i was getting trots then seems to have been delayed to tonight!!. was caught short at dinner so had to leave kids at table dh not home yet. when i got back dylan had tipped all his dinner on table and rubbed his face with hands full of dinner and his hair... what a mess!!
i guess its hair wash night tonight then!!

Oh dear hope you all feel better soon. I had the bug end of last month. Being sick while pregnant is pure torture!

well, read back on the pages I missed, horrible thing is I was in bed staring into the darkness for over an hour than gave up and got the kids ready for school *lesson learned* no coke! but chocolates I have to have in small amounts only

Glad everything is Ok Jue!

Serina... had heard nothing but bad things about breast pumps. I am seriously thinking of investing in one now!

 

[Baci]

Oh dear... I feel like a bad mummy for Violet having such a late bedtime!

 

[Jkelmum]

Oh dear... I feel like a bad mummy for Violet having such a late bedtime!

Dont feel bad we all do things are own way ....i love my me time once kids are in bed so get up early with them if that makes sense


Nat i hope u get better soon xxx

 

[mrsholmes]

thought id have at least 10 pages of catch up to do! Lucky cos ive only got two mins!

glad your ok Jue

I started watching those birthing progs to Nat, made me not worry so much about the labour!

seen midwife a different one! all ok with bp/sample and babys heartbeat and I told her about the pain etc and straight away she said I have SPD and shes referred me to a physio and judging by the way I was walking/moving I have at least another week off work, she said theres not alot I can do but rest not work the pain as that makes it worse. but im sooooooooooooooo glad they are not fobbing me off!
