My friend's sister had a baby this morning. Pics are all over fb. It's made me so excited for our wee one lol x

 

[lj2245]

I know I'm soooo broody haha Not long though! 6 weeks ago we were all a week or 2 into 3d tri already! Doesn't seem like that long since then! I think it's going to fly by

 

[bbymc]

i really hope it does. I actually can't wait! I'm a bit scared about how it's gona be just cos of folk saying how hard having a baby is but then I'm also super excited since all i can ever remember wanting to be when i grew up was a mum. Lol. It's like a dream come true lol x

 

[lj2245]

Awww it can be tough at times but honestly, the ones who say its hard make it hard for themselves! Shaun was easy but I was determined it was going to be that way. I got him in a routine quickly and the day he turned 1 was the day he stopped getting bottles of milk, it was a sippy cup after that! He never had a tantrum EVER because I ignored any behaviour even approaching a tantrum. It can be as easy or hard as you want it to be

 

[bbymc]

i hope so. Before my current job i used to be a nursery nurse and it was pretty easy to keep control over a lot of kids at once so I'm hoping with just one of my own I'll manage fine. I'm not good without sleep so its the first wee while I'm more worried about. Routine is key to success there tho so I'll just have to be strict with it and pretty patient.

 

[lj2245]

Yeah. Just go with the flow for the first few weeks. Forget there is a night and day because your baby doesn't know they exist! Sleep as often as you can whenever you can and when baby is a couple of months, start to establish a sleeping routine with bedtimes and baths and leaving baby to settle. Friends of mine started the whole rocking baby to sleep in the buggy when they didn't settle and then moving them to bed and wondered why they were still doing that at 3 years old haha. I never allowed Shaun into my bed and he's now 7 and has slept in my bed maybe 3 times in his life, all when he's been ill. It's just about finding Whts right for you long term and sticking to it, don't compromise for an easy life in the short term!

 

[bbymc]

God no. My friend used to Akers her son in the car to get him to sleep. What a joke! I won't be doing anything stupid like that!

I've watched way too many episodes of supernanny and the baby whisperer to make those mistakes lol. I couldn't handle a kid in my bed every night!!

Do you go away on Friday for your weekend Emma?

Laura was your physio appointment today?

My throat isn't as sore today but voice still lost and got one of those annoying coughs!

I sleep with Kaiden most nights or he ends up in beside us. I quite like him snuggled in next to me with his cute wee snore

 

[lj2245]

Yeah physio today. They couldn't do anything except recommend a belt. I've damaged the ligaments in my symphysis pubis. Joy! She said I just need to rest but with a 7 yeah old and a husband like Stephen who thinks that working a 40 hour week is more than enough of a contribution, I have no chance.

I like my space in bed We have a super kingsize bed and that's the way I like it. I'd happily sleep alone in the bed every night. When Shaun has been in beside us I feel squashed! I'm not a cuddle in bed type lol. I'll happily cuddle Shaun for hours on the couch but his bed is his and my bed is mine. I have a friend with 4 boys under 6. Thre youngest are 2 year old twins and he has a 4 year old and 5 year old. The 4 of them are always in his bed sleeping. I would go nuts lol. 6 in a bed? No way. I don't let the cat or dog on my bed either lol.

 

[bbymc]

yeah its this weekend Karen! Can't wait to get away! I've hardly been out in weeks so a change of scenery will be great!

Thats bad news about your pelvis laura! Hopefully its nothin permenant though! Hard as it is, youll just have to let some stuff slide for now. Housework and stuff i mean. That should give you more time to rest ready for the big day.

I was out visiting my brother and his family last night and both my little nieces managed to feel baby move. Their wee faces were a picture lol. The youngest will be 2 on my due date. She absolutely loves babies and has spent a lot of my pregnancy either stroking my belly or pointing at it sayin 'aww baba' or 'shhhh baba'. So when she felt it it really was amazing!! After that she kept laughing saying 'baba' and pointing at her feet to tell us repeatedly that the baby had kicked her lol. It was super cute!

Hey ladies. just wondering if any of you have had your parenting classes yet. Mines starts today just dunno what to except lol. got them at 2-4 so im going to have to leave at like 1.15 to walk down lol since i just cant walk that fast and ill need to ask were im going, little freak out and nervous hahaha lol glad ryan shall be there so im not a told ass on my own xxx

 

[bbymc]

[Cherrybump]

[Cherrybump]

Lol im home now. Was pretty interesting..

Was nice to finally meet Arlene even though didnt we didnt speak much lol. I was super hot and my back was going sore.

TMI i need the loo lol ive now got little cramping in the front .. at least i know to hold off as much as possible when it comes to the labor. Also there is 2 different size of those gym balls at agros. the cheapest one is 4.99 and 55cm there next one was 6.99 and 65 cm. I aint sure which size to get but i think il get the smaller one.

Now going to relax as im still super hot. xxx

 

[lj2245]

I got the Davina McCall one as it's weight limit was 22st instead of 14st. I figured it would be more sturdy with a pregnant woman bouncing all over it!!

 

[arlene]

Hey Cherry! Was lovely to see you today too! I went to tesco after the class and they have a 65cm one for a fiver!

Remember we were talking about the dogs acting strange? We are looking after my brothers Belgian Collie for the weekend and since he has arrived, Moby won't let him near me! Everytime Ben comes near me, Moby runs between us! It's bizarre! Lol.

We've decided to have a chilled weekend. It's the first weekend we've had alone in ages where John hasn't had to work or we haven't had to go anywhere. We're about to settle down with season 1 of 24 cos I haven't seen it. Then tomorrow morning we're gonna take a wander to the Jack and Jill market at Heriot Watt uni. Anyone else going? Xx

 

[lj2245]

We bought the 24 box set with the intention of watching them all. We got to the end of Season 1 and never bothered about any of the others hehe

Chilled weekend here too. Going to Shaun's Tae Kwon Do tournament tomorrow morning then no plans for the rest of the weekend other than decorating the nursery!

 

[Cherrybump]

Oooh thanks hun i might need to nip down there.

Im still rather sore . think im going to hunt out the paracetamol lol xx
