My almost seven month old son has been largely breastfed and very dependent on his mother. No one else can put him to bed at night, and when he wakes a couple of hours later he screams and screams and screams if she's not there to put him back down.

Tonight was the first time I managed to put him to sleep without much involvement by his mum. Very pleased. Read Where The Wild Things Are and rubbed his back until he drifted off.

Good win, may it be the first of many!
 
He just woke up and screamed and screamed and screamed... and his mother had to put him back down! Ha. You have to start somewhere I suppose.
 
We tried everything and none of it worked. 13 days overdue, induction booked for next day. Had fun times in the bed that night and low and behold he came... Ooer Mrs! ;)

I think if I had tried that with the Mrs she would have told me where to go. She WAS desperate to get that baby out though...


In other news, my daughter now has new catchphrases that she keeps rolling out at any opportunity. "sure am kiddo" and "let's rock and rooooll". She is definitely going to be cooler than me.

This happened to my wife last Friday night. Son was throwing up at 3am. Wife was not happy with me though I'd been out catching up with a mate who was over from Oz and I'd had a skinful and was out for the count until 8am.

Had the exact same thing on Sunday night. Sadly I got a big dose of sick on me too. I don't think there's anything more disconcerting than being woken up by someone puking on you.

Yeah, it's awful for a number of reasons, not least being that you have to take immediate action, and all the cleanup involved is guaranteed to leave everyone fully awake, but exhausted.

The silver lining is that she now tells us she's going to puke and with a bin close to hand we've avoided any more mess in the subsequent chunderfest.
 
3 weeks to go, had a number of complications recently that seem to be pointing towards the boy being brought along early, poss as early as next week. Cue a manic weekend of sorting the house....!
 
Wife is away for a night. Within minutes of her leaving, our house became very silly indeed. Silly weekends are good fun.
 
Hey guys, you might remember my post 6 or so months back when we had the horrible scare at my first scan with a high measurement at the fold on the back of her neck. Thankfully all the tests since that scan came back fine and it was deemed a likely mis-measurement.

But today we welcomed our baby girl, Ivy in to the world at a healthy 8.6lb

She did give us one last scare. All sat talking to the midwives during labour (which was 12 hours in at the hospital), when all of a sudden one of them hit the emergency button and a load of people ran in, whisked my girlfriend away before anyone could explain and I was left in the delivery room in a mess beside myself with no idea what was happening. 5 minutes later I’m brought in to theatre and about a minute after that, our baby girl was delivered via emergency c-section and was absolutely fine.

My nerves were shot after that, I think i cried 33 years worth of tears in one afternoon, just couldn’t stop with so many emotions going on from before the birth and all the ones after. It was all a bit amusing in hindsight, I must have looked a state.
