Just not had chance to get back on since. & only sleeps fitfully. I'll have to start going to bed earlier I think. 
We don't have a chimney breast. Just a stupid hot air heater on fake mantle piece. We did elf on the shelf for the first time. I enjoyed that! Have to start thinking of ideas for what I can do with it this year. Rex's memory is do ridiculously good that I can't get away eiyh repeating things 
He's been in bed for 7 on a night & sleeping til 6 
Sure it won't last!
although he did seem a bit better today, he's only had 3 dirty nappies all day and they're becoming a little bit less green. I should hopefully have the results from the sample I put in at the doctors tomorrow. The weird thing is that apart from the runny bum he's completely fine and happy.
7 till 4 is fantastic, shame about the resettling afterwards though. We just can't win can we lol so the HV told me to start him on solids. So much for the BLW plan lol. He's doing really well though so I'm glad I started him off. He's had one meal of baby rice a day at lunchtime and today I moved him on to 2 meals a day and he tried some carrot mixed in with his rice at tea time, he ate the lot he's so much happier after his solids, tonight after his dinner he laid on his mat for aaages just chilling out 
he's absolutely desperate for something to play with, he's too big for his mat now but can't sit up yet. So my mum is going to go halves with me on the jumperoo. I really hope he likes it! sometimes the repetitive stuff is the best stuff at Christmas time though, that's how family traditions are formed 
That's been ages now. Hope the sample gives you some answers. I wonder if the bad sleep is linked to his tummy issues? He's the same afterwards as well, much more chilled out after eating. It really does make me think that I've been starving him by BF Starting a second bottle tomorrow. The last week on one bottle has gone fine. He's absolutely guzzled it!m Monday is our swimming day too. Leo has been great for our childminder while we've been going as well
just when I was starting to get a bit of freedom too. 
she's getting so big, bless her. At one point I even heard someone behind me saying how well behaved she was being, very proud mummy moment! I never fancied BLW. Simply because you have no way of knowing how much they've eaten at a meal time. I feel like they could just fill up on milk & not eat much. especially when BF & you have no idea what they've drank. Glad it was a successful trip. Hope Wesley likes the Jumperoo after all that effort!
so I'll give it a few days before trying the formula again and see if it starts again its maybe a little bit cruel but its the only way to test if it is CMPI. I'd much rather cook up a couple of batches of baby food on a Sunday afternoon and just pull a little pot out of the freezer for him each day. I loved doing that with Olivia, I had a great baby cookbook and made loads of yummy purees for her. Olivia had a great time swimming, she was so excited, bless her. She floated on her back and kicked her legs and practiced pushing off the side. Only thing she didn't like was dunking her head under the water, but I'm sure it'll come. She didn't want to get out at the end of the lesson so I'll take that as a good sign! I tried my fitness pal again a few weeks ago but couldn't get into it. Randomly though, I lost 4lbs last week without even trying! I hadn't eaten any chocolate that week, I wonder if that's what did it..... Lol
hopefully it was jus wind. It's not cruel to try formula again. You need to know. Totally agree about BLW. Leo also couldn't eat half of what we eat! I like stocking the freezer up with meals too. I did the same as you when weeing Rex. Made a couple of things every weekend & ended up with a wide variety, especially in stage 2. I already have zip lock bags full of apple, pear, sweet potato, carrot, courgette & swede cubes Need to make some green bean cubes this week. Rex is a nutter in the water. Constantly dunking his head & wanting to jump in 
Chocolate is included in my points every single day! Can't live without it!
He's probably making up for all the poo explosions!
I haven't got him any fruit yet, I'll get him eating the veg first before I introduce him to the sweet stuff I put him down at 8:00 tonight and I'm expecting him up for his firs feed any minute now is your husband back home again now? I hope he's taking care of you. How is shresh? Shradha. You've had it really rough lately haven't you. You poor thing Hope things look up for you soon Just driving up & back but having lunch out with my sister before I come home. Can't wist for some boy free time!! I won't even have to miss a feed now Leo's having 2 bottles in the day which makes it sooooo much easier.
he was up 2 more times after that but the point is I actually got more than 2 hours of sleep in one go and was only up 4 times all night as opposed to his usual 5 times lol then we cut out pictures of all the toys she wants (and some suggestions for toys that Olivia thought Wesley might like) and stuck them onto the letter. We got off pretty lightly tbh most of the stuff she picked wasn't too expensive, with the exception of a £150 wooden kitchen she saw at early learning centre I told her that Santa usually only brings one big present per child so he might have to choose between the kitchen and the bike (and bike will win of course!) We have to resettle him on average about 3 times in the first couple of hours after he goes down. Then if he feeds earlier in the night, he'll wake up & only settle in bed with me 
I felt so refreshed when I got home yesterday. I've pretty much finished Rex's shopping. Need a few more bits for Leo then onto everyone else. I swear I had more this time last year but I also have more shopping opportunities this year with being off work so I won't panic just yet! He just loves being around other babies! Finds them hilarious! So we're definitely off back.
these naughty boys, why don't they ever sleep? Olivia was never that bad although to be fair, she was a nightmare to get to sleep in the first place, but once asleep she was out for the count. By 5 months she was only waking up once or twice a night. I'm getting there now, I have both their main presents now, just need a few smaller ones and stocking fillers. Are you doing a Xmas eve box this year? If so will you put something in for Leo too? I'm not sure whether to include Wesley or not. Other than PJs I can't think what else I could put in for him.
DH came home with a nasty cold and passed it to Kyle. I really hope Lucas does not get it. If he does I foresee another hospital trip 
Wesley is teeny tiny though lol how awful that your replacement was so crap while you were away, must've been so frustrating trying to get caught up again! last night I completely broke down and cried and cried. DH tried to help and settle him so I could have a break, but the trouble was that I still laid there awake the whole time and DH wasn't able to settle him so I ended up taking over anyway. I've been reading your updates on FB but don't like to comment in case people are like 'who the hell is she?!' So god Lucas is doing well after surgery. Poor little guy has been through so much already I'm sure Kyle will potty train soon. It's a huge adjustment getting a brother, he'll get there. I have no idea how you cope with 2 jobs & a family!! You are amazing, lady! Does he feed at every waking? Leo is usually up twice a night with a few re-settlings shortly after bedtime. Compared to Rex, this feels amazing but I'm sure some people would think it's awful! I can't believe how well Lucas is sleeping! I had a day at the races with DH, my sis & BFF & their DHs. Had such a good time! And my lovely mum did the night shift for me so I could enjoy some drinks Don't think it was a hit but I'll give it another go tomorrow.
