Wife, two daughters, and now four granddaughters. The Monstrous Regiment of Women. Seriously, it's great. We had big sister (3) staying with us overnight, and we've just dropped her off back home to meet her new kid sis. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 We downloaded a “tinder” for baby names. I added “Emery” and she matched with me as that being a name. I won’t tell her why I added it I also added Unai, Ollie and Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been home a week due to some birth complications. I've read some horror stories about crying and am aware how things can change with babies sleeping patterns for better and worse but so far he's been pretty good, he only cries when he is hungry and being changed and sleeps somewhat regularly in 2 or 3 hour spurts. I hope this continues and improves. Despite this I feel incredible guilt, I actually think we've got a good one. I told him last night at 2 a.m he's a good boy and it's me failing him because I just can't shake the negativity that sleeping in shifts and waiting constantly for the next feed and nappy change is so draining. Plus I go back to work next week and there is anxiety there though I know we will all cope. I can work from home half the week or when I require. It gets better doesn't it that's what people say. Enjoy the newborn stage they won't be young forever. I just want to fast forward my life 6 months. I get sleep now. Life is good, we actually have a person, a great one. "You'll miss those moments" I absolutely won't. Those months were brutal nd anybody who says otherwise is lying! It'd be a shame not to give him a sibling but I don't think I have it in me....and I think this kid is one of the chill ones. God forbid we get a screaming dick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 What's the youngest you'd take a kid to the football? Say my son would be 1 in the FA cup tie if it's a home one and it's 30k attendance I'd be comfortable taking him, it's really not phased by anything. I know he's not going to pay attention , he'll be bored after 10 minutes but the experience and the sensory I think would be good for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
