Hi Karen - WElcome back, of course we don`t mind you joining us, the more the merrier As for the tantrums, about 4 weeks ago we went through the same thing with Matthew, he was throwing tantrums about anything and everything yes including nappy changing time, it is hard especially when one is heavily pregnant and you are struggling with a child who doesn`t want clean nappies on, we got through it, just tried lots of things, nothing seem to work then suddenly he was happy again, tantrums have all stopped only now and again he`ll now take off with something he`s not suppose to have like this morning he grabbed a pen and took off at fast walking speed then threw it, then picked it up before Mummy got there and threw a tiny tantrum when Mummy took it off him. Do you find that with your DH Harry can be a little angel? I`m finding that myself.
Angel - I have picked up a lot in the last few days, before then I was quite down in myself as well guess it can be expected when I was so sick at this stage of my pregnancy. Wow your first scan already, glad bubs isn`t ectopic, bet you can`t wait to see that wonderful HB flicking away, although I know you`ll be nervous about it. Poor Kynan being so scared.
Michelle - Yay for Alex sleeping through.
Girls, you will all know when baby boy is here, I will not keep you in suspence. Not sure if Mark is totally satisfied with the name, men!!!!!!
Had to get up to the toliet 5 times last night, I was getting really annoyed by myself. Baby boy is certainly a lot quieter then normal as well.
Just thought I`d pop on here while waiting for Matthew to go to sleep, I can`t hear any noise so guess I should go and do the housework, my boys make such a mess, it looks like a bomb has hit the place!!!!!
Thanks for the input guys. Deejoy, I'm so happy to see somebody else has gone through the same thing and made it to the other side. Did you think you would go mad? i just seem to be on edge all the time, hoping whatever I am doing doesn't set him off! It's just he is usually the complete opposite to this - my little laid back boy is nowhere to be seen! I do hope it's part of him being sick. He's starting to feel better so hopefully as the days go by his tanties will dwindle off...
Angel, he has had a fever for a few days so it all ties in with that I think. I know that when I'm sick and I have to get changed I start shivering so he must be relating those feelings to getting changed, nappies and bath time as well. Poor little thing...
Karen - Sounds like the tantrums might be linked with Harry not being well, when I look back Matthew`s tantrums were happening when he came down with gastro (he had two different gastro bugs within 2 weeks). Yes I did think I`d go made with the tantrums, I was blaming myself that I was doing the wrong thing, like Harry Matthew is very laid back and placid most of the time.
It`s very quiet in here, I hope everyone`s okay and that your just busy.
Are any of you girls finding that when you say No, your being ignored, all Matthew does is smile at me or even growls at me :eek: Yet if Mark says No to him and it doesn`t even have to be in a harsh tone Matthew brawls his eyes out, perhaps he knows he can get around me but not Daddy. He`s even starting to bite which isn`t nice.
Since we`re no longer Breastfeeding - boohoo I have found a wonderful time that Matthew and I can enjoy together, having a shower in the morning, Matthew thinks it`s great, this morning he was being quite bossy trying to get his pj`s off then he realised oh Mummy is still dressed so he tried to pull my ugg boots off, so cute So that`s our little our time for the moment.
