OH NO! The school is shut tomorrow because of cival strick. 3 kids to keep entertained until about 2 tomorrow afternoon. I am going to be pulling my hair out by the time my DH gets home. I hate being on my own especialy with my eldest as he is a dady's boy big time and my daughter is a mummy's girl big time and baby well he has his moments. Got 10 mins quite as they are eating there dinner just behind me at the moment.

The kids love days off but I hate them as the older 2 argue and fit and I have got to the stage with them were I think leave them let them sort the problem out there selves until 1 of them start crying as they are only behind you in there toy area

Well it hass been almost a week since I last posted and a lot has changed. Edward now only has bf's at 8am, 12pm, 4pm, 7pm and 10pm all for 20 mins except for the 8am and 10pm when he will feed from both sides for a total time of 45 minutes and still has his 2 finger food snacks, breakfast, light lunch and family dinner at night and is drinking loads of water in between meals and bf's. He seems a lot more settled at night and at the moment is waking in the night for a feed but I am giving him the feed as he is teething again and is suffering with a temperature so is having infant ibrofen with his 10pm feed to try and help him sleep better. Will re-get back on track with the night feed once teething is over with as I do not want to course him anymore distress than he is already in with his teeth. Number 5 has broke the gum and number 6 is just under the gum but not quite broke the gum yet and both are on the top. He loves chewing on a dummy/paci but that is all he is doing with them so not sure weather to take them away before he gets attached to them or weather to leave him with htem as they are helping to keep him carm. Also tried to say DAA-DAA today but came out GAR-GAR but he was strocking his dads arm when he said it so we think it was meant to be a daa-daa. Ooh and also Kate Enchanted worked a treat they sat and watched it from start to finish with out a word so it got put back on again when Edward went down for his nap and I sat with them and we had a lovely cuddle just me and my 2 monkeys. I am going to buy it for them as a treat when I see it in stock at the disney shop as my daughter loved it that much she is after a cup and new bowl and plate but it has got to be enchanted and she wants to have a princess party for her birthday in November and she wants to dress up in the enchanted costume she has seen in the disney shop at my local shopping mall.

Teething is the pits!  At his age he's not likely to get as dependent on it as if he were using it for sucking, they do need a chew toy of some kind when they're teething.  Sometimes a nice cold carrot is good, nice and firm.

Glad to hear things are otherwise doing better - and Enchanted is lovely!

Sounds like things are doing great and how cute 'GAR GAR' ;D

Well done, its such hard work at times. I bet it was nice when you sat down and watched the film with the kids, i know  you only watching a film but its nice to have a long cuddle.

Poppy is mad on it too, if you were round the corner we could have a joint party for them ;)

He did his GAR-GAR again to do with his arms up in the air to his dad so I have been tessing DH all more by calling him GAR-GAR. He just laughs and says he must have been gar-gar to marry me but I know he is only joking as he hates being away from me but even worse the kids over night as he can not sleep unless I am layed next to him as he uses my legs as a hot water bottle for his knee as he has arfarituse in his knee. Oh and Edward slept right through from 10 until 8 this morning I went to sleep at 11 so I am full of energy again today. He ended up have paracetamol and ibrufen last night as he was running a temperature of 38 but the emergency doctor I phoned told me to give him this and if the temperature went up or was still the same in an hour to take him to the hospital by phoning for an ambulance. Thankfully temp was down to 36

Kate were is you are from as I can not see it meantioned on the side bar. We are planning on taking her away for the weekend of her birthday just got to decide were to

Yes I did mean were you live and the sleep was lovely. DH recones I look a lot better for the sleep too as I was having to put lots of make-up on to cover my black tired bags under my eyes as I looked like a panda. Not so much make-up was needed today as they are now a greyish colour. He has just waken from his nap but it only lasted an hour so he might need to go for another nap later but I refuse to let him nap after 5:30 as if he does he is a wake then until 11 at night and I am enjoying have children free time cuddled up to my DH for an hour at 9 every night. Last night after the 10 feed my DH  :o me with a glass of wine (with lemonade in  ::). He refuses to make me a glass of wine without lemonade just because of bfing I keep telling him 1 every now and again will not hurt. I have family that live in Essex but I can not remember the area as they have just moved there last week. At the minute birthday holiday is ever with the in-laws, my dad and uncle and Aunt in Wales or Essex with my sister and hopefully future BIL or Scotland with friends or yorkshire with friends or with the childrens great-grandparents on DH's side of the family that they only see twice a year in Devon

Well I think we have a new feeding routine which is now starting from his df at night goes:
10pm - df for 30 mins (20 mins 1 side then 10 mins other side)
5am - bf for 25 mins
8am bf after breakfast
10am snack generally fruit sticks with drink of juice
12:30pm bf after lunch for nap
4pm bf for 30 mins
6pm family dinner with drink of water
8pm 15 mins bf at end of bedtime routine

So he is now down to 6 bfs a day which I am happy with and I have just put him into his brothers and sisters bedroom to see if that will help with the night waking which does at the moment seem to be working as he woke 4 times last night and just cooed his self back to sleep instead of crying but I woke to him cooing and was ready to go in and give him reasurence if he started as he has only been in there room now for 2 nights and is in a new cot as his old one broke when we moved it but it was his sisters before his and she used it as a bed to start with until she was ready to move into her big bed. The cot cot is one of those that you can change into a bed once they are ready for the side to come off but he only has the sides that he can see through now instead of all 4 sides and he seems to be more daddy as well since we have taken a lot of his bfs off him. I think I am going to leave him with the 6 bf's for now as I am beginning to feel like I am pushing him away which I know is silly but I love our time together when no-one can take him off me. I thiunk this is because I had the IL's over for the weekend and my MIL kept taking over she had to bath the kids, take them out everywhere she went and she spoiled them all roiten. So glad she has now gone. FIL is great he thought it was funny when he first got here as Edward has not seen him since he was 4 days old so he kept crying and crawling over to me to protenk him form the strange person. But 2 days later he was trying his hardest to climb up his grandad's leg to get up on his lap to play row,row and give him a cuddle. It is so strange only having my DH in our room I keep thinking of telling him to put the cot back in our room but I know we have done the right thing.
