Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[bbymc]

I told family but they acted like I was being unfair and unreasonable. Total joke!

 

[lj2245]

That's terrible. At least you are shot of her now. Lesson well and truly learned lol!!

 

[bbymc]

Definitely. Never again.

Lewis has moved onto size two nappies ive got loads of size 1 left though

 

[lj2245]

Keep them for the next baby lol

 

[bbymc]

Lol. I genuinely considered it lol. But my friend's sis just had a baby yesterday so I'm giving them to her.

 

[arlene]

Everyone is having babies! My work bump buddy had a gir, Caitlin Sarah, on the 30th of May (9 days early) and one of my besties had a girl this morning, Freya Elizabeth! Very excited this morning! Xx

 

[Kaybee]

Aww I want to have one more baby Although I will probably change my mind when Dylan gets to the into EVERYTHING stage and crawling off when trying to change his nappy

Laura any word on the pediatrician appointment?

Emma the cousin is gone. Maybe one day when she grows up she will realise what a PITA she has been.

My ear is still very painful. Going back to the docs at 10.30. Driving me loopy

 

[lj2245]

I know I am jinxing myself big time here but Alex has been a 'normal' baby for 2 days now I haven't had milk, soya, wheat, gluten, oat or corn in that time so have had oats this morning to see if he reacts. Will try corn tomorrow if he doesn't. It's been brilliant I got 6 hours sleep last night He has thrown up tiny bits here and there but I figure most babies do without it being a problem He's also been calm when awake, sleeping lots and has been SO smiley it's just making my heart totally burst with happiness

I think we have a ghost. Alex keeps staring and laughing at the same corner of our living room and I don't think the clock is that interesting. A hairdresser once told my MIL that that same corner was haunted! Lol.

I hope you get on better at the docs Karen.

I have a friend who is due today and my cousin's fiancee is due in a week or 2. Stephen's step mum had 3 grandchildren born in April lol. I also have about 5 friends who have had babies over April and May. It's definitely a baby boom!

You never know Karen, circumstances can change quickly and you might find yourself in the position to have another

Alex is sitting on the couch babbling away. It must be so normal for you guys but it's a total novelty for me.

 

[Kaybee]

thats great progress Laura.

Do you feel like you have a ghost? They say that babies/ children are more open to that kind of thing.

its the 50 shades of grey baby boom lol.

 

[arlene]

Aww Laura, that's great!! Do you know how long it takes for a certain food to pass into your breast milk?

Emma, yay for getting rid of the witch? Lol

I really want another baby but John is totally against it. His argument is that he has 3 kids already (my two stepsons) and at 40 is really feeling the effects of having a newborn. He has a brother and sister and while they all get on, they're not close. I had and still have a great relationship with my two brothers, we talk at least 3 times a week and I don't want James to miss out on that. And this will sound morbid but when John is old and passes away, he has 3 kids and me to help look after him and support each other. When it's my turn, it's just James and he has to deal with it on his own. My mum was an only child and I saw what that did to her when my Nana passed away last year, I just don't think that's fair on James. Does that make sense? I have my 6 week check on Tuesday and have said I'll go back on the pill but I want us to have a proper talk about having another baby eventually xx

 

[lj2245]

Shaun was an only child for so long and he hated it. He was always so lonely. None of my siblings or his Dads siblings had any kids though so he didn't even have a cousin. If James will have lots of kids around you don't need to worry about that. Did you guys not agree on a number of kids before trying for James? It was a total negotiation between me and Stephen lol. He just wanted to have one but I said if we had kids we'd be having at least 2 together and if both were boys we'd have a 3rd!! Sometimes now he'll say 'no more kids' but I just tell him I'm having another whether he's part of it or not

It can take between 2 and 24 hours for food to pass. I figure I will give the oats 24 hours to affect him then do the same with the corn. I might even wait until Saturday before trying corn just to be sure.

 

[arlene]

We never discussed it properly I suppose. He's always said 1 and I've always said more!

Hopefully it'll make a difference Laura and you can work out which foodis causing the problem xx

 

[lj2245]

We got our appointment letter through this morning. He has to see the paediatrician on the 2nd of July. Just less than 4 weeks to wait!

 

[Kaybee]

Glad you got your appointment through. I would be tempted to wait until Saturday before introducing something else into your diet.

Dave always said NO children As Kaiden got older I didnt want him to be an only child either.

I got antibiotics from doc. She thinks the infection might burst my ear drum. In a way I am looking forward to that because I should get relief from it.

 

[lj2245]

Did she say why you were told there was no infection? What happens when your ear drum bursts?

How did you manage to convince him to have 2? lol

 

[Kaybee]

I was initially told it was a viral infection and it should clear up on its own but to go back if it didn't. They never seem keen to give out antibiotics. If it burst she said I would feel a relief and it should heal itself but will need to go back and get it looked at.

 

[lj2245]

Will your hearing be affected?

 

[bbymc]

My neices ear drum burst before. She felt much better afterwards but they had to keep an eye on it cos if it doesn't heal they do a wee operation to fix it. I hope you get some relief soon!

Excellent news on Alex Laura!! I would wait more than 24 hours if I were you before introducing a new food. Only cos my dad had to do a diet like that to find out what was aggravating his arthritis. With some foods it was longer than 24 hours before he even got a reaction. So he left 3-4 days between introducing a new food.

Arlene I totally get how you feel. One of the big reasons I want more than one child is so they can support each other when Ryan and I are old or gone. Ryan and I never really discussed how many kids we would like, only thing we agree on is that Lewis hopefully won't be an only child. I've also said if we had more kids, we would have as many as it took to have at least one of each sex lol. Ryan didn't object lol.

I took my unopened size 1 nappies back to sainsburys today and just said my partner had bought the wrong size lol. They let me swap them for size two

 

[lj2245]

Yay I should do that with the packs of vests and babygros Stephen's aunt bought Alex that only fit up to 7lbs lol!!!

Alex has been spewing so looks like it's oats! That could be good because it may mean he's fine with wheat. The reason I suspected wheat was because he'd been spewing after my shredded wheat but I'd been having that with oat milk. I'm going to wait until he's gone a full 24 hours without spewing then I'll try the corn then the same with wheat.

 

[Kaybee]

My sister's eardrum burst as well and hers healed on its own. Hoping if mine bursts it will heal ok too.

That was good you were able to exchange the nappies. Dylan is in size 3 really but we have been trying to use up the size 2 we have left as they were opened I bet the store get people in swapping sizes and blaming it on their partners a lot lol. I should have thought to bring them down for you guys! There is only about 3 left.

We are not long back from having a picnic down the park. It was great being out in the sun.
