Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

Karen that's great dylan's doing so well. You're lucky if he does sleep through fairly soon. I don't think lewis will. He always seems to get bad wind at night and struggles to settle.

Laura, I guess we'll all just need to cross our fingers you go b4 the 22nd. On the bright side, you have an end date. That will give you something to focus on. I feel for you with the sweep. I had one before I went to labour ward and it was so painful that I was terrified of all future examinations and ended up having to use gas and air for them. Even after I'd had the epidural. I refused to let that doc near me again!!

Lewis has had bad wind all day. Poor wee soul is shattered. He's settled for now but ryan's mum will be here any sec and she'll just storm in, wake him and pick him up :-/

 

[Kaybee]

Aww its horrid when they have trapped wind.

I would be fizzin mad if anyone came in and waked baby

How did you get on with Ryan's mum? I just woke up after a looooooong nap

 

[bbymc]

It was ok. She came right when he was waking for a feed so he was waking up anyway. Thank god. She got to change him and cuddle him after. I was just a bit annoyed when she was cuddling him cos instead of lettin him sleep she kept chattin away and shoogling him about all over the place
She just wanted to see him awake, but that will impact on me later on and I felt bad for him cos he clearly wanted peace.

It was weird. I felt way more protective over him tonight. Don't feel like that when its my family lol. There was nothing to feel particularly protective over either lol.

Btw Christine, if you want to try breast feeding again, I would use the pump to express as often as you feed paige. So every 3-4 hours or whatever. Both sides
Thats what I did and my milk supply increased massively over just 3 days.

 

[lj2245]

Aww poor wee soul. If it had been you jiggling him and talking he'd have slept through it as that would be what he was used to being inside you. I think it's just instinct to jiggle them a wee bit lol and maybe she felt Lewis was more familiar with her than he is.

Poor wee guy Emma! Bet he just wanted to drop off!

I had a lovely evening, made Persian chicken with couscous and pitta breads for one of my besties from work. Managed to catch up on all the office gossip and showed her all our baby stuff, was lovely! Xx

 

[bbymc]

That sounds very tasty arlene!

God its 11.45pm and Ryan's mum has still not left yet! She came at 5pm!

 

[lj2245]

I'd just go to bed and leave her sitting there. Cheek of her!

 

[CherylC3]

Aw no more baby's yet??

Aw I'm with u with the mother in law thing mines makeover sat at 12 and didn't leave till 9pm I wasn't happy..x

 

[bbymc]

I ended up going to bed. Just told ryan to bring lewis to me when he needed fed. She hasnt seen lewis much so I think she was just super keen to spend time with him. But that was a bit much! Think im gona make sure ryan knows I felt she stayed too long. I dont want a repeat. Im happy for her to visit and all that but I hated that she didn't give him any peace during the whole visit. It was a bit full on!

On the brightside though, he slept and fed great and I was only up at 3.30am and again at 7.30am

How are you all today?

 

[arlene]

Oh my god Emma, that's totally over staying her welcome!! That's ridiculous! I mean I know babies are up at all times but to stay any later than 9 or maybe 10pm is ridiculous! Glad Lewis is such a good wee sleeper already!

No sign of my bubs yet Cheryl xx

 

[lj2245]

Well my waters have just went all over the bed lol

 

[CherylC3]

Oh yeh Laura Alex is coming keep us updated, I hope I'm next. X

 

[CherylC3]

I'm braving a trip out with my mum hoping it will help start something off..x

 

[arlene]

Yay Laura!!!! Well jealous!! Lol. Keep us posted! Xx

 

[bbymc]

Keep us updated laura. I hope all goes well. Im sooo excited for you! Cant wait to see pics of wee Alex!! xx

Im off to mothercare for nursing bras and sleep bras today. This is the 3rd night ive managed to soak the bed and be forced to sleep on soaked sheets. Not the best experience! Lol.

My wound seems to have stopped leaking. Here's hoping its a sign the antibiotics are working!

 

[lj2245]

Contractions are 10 mins apart so will be a while yet I'm just lying in the bath while Stephen gets some sleep.

It was mental, I just lying there and a wee trickle came out and woke me up and I thought wtf is that, then it started gushing out! I soaked 3 towels. Now I just have tiny amounts when I'm contracting.
