Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[lj2245]

Hey I've been busy with cleaning and the nursery. Still no sign of Alex either!

Emma asked me to update you all. She got home yesterday, finally. Had some problems with Lewis's feeding and he lost a bit of weight so had to supplement to get his weight back up. Both are doing grand now and I'm sure she will be back on when she's not as exhausted!

 

[Cherrybump]

Thank you for the update hun.

Arlene hopefully he'll hold off until then for you lol

I just had a wee tiny cry to myself there. I cant believe its paige due date tomorrow and today she is a week old. its so over whelming. I still get some pain from the right side of my stitches as it was leaking fluid. i got a badge up when i got to get my jag which i did not get btw lol they said there was no record that i was due to get it :S but its clearly on my notes through my pregnancy lol turns out the midwifes and the doctors dont always share notes so when the midwife came out yesterday she found the bit paper in my folded thing and took it up to the doctors for me so i re book for monday to get my jag ..

Anyways I hope with the thoeries we tried last night to get paige to settle better may have worked. I swaddle her into a blanket at 12 before ryan seemed to struggle a little and i never heard anything from her util 6.30am took few mins before she was down again and its now 11. she'll be due a feed shortly but im dying to find out how she did between 12.30 and 6.30 lol cause if she slept its means it all worked yay!!! but i dont wanna give her a bath every night lol may just a once over with warm water might help to xxxx

Hi girls

Laura is your nursery finished now? Arlene hope you have a good weekend.

We are getting on great. Dylan was weighed on Thurs and has passed his birth weight and is now 7lb 15 So far Kaiden is being really good with him and kisses him ALL the time. (I dont get kisses anymore though ) Everywhere we go he stops to tell people all about his little brother - its really sweet. He had a wee wobble when we left him with my mum the other day with him getting a bit upset and saying he wanted mummy but my mum said as soon as I left he was fine. I'm wondering if he will have a wee wobble about going back to nursery after the school hols. He normally is perfectly happy about me going away.

I got my stitches out last weekend and had to get a few paper stitches as the wound opened a little. Got to take them off yesterday and it seems to be a lot better now. Although it is still VERY tender.

We still need to agree on a middle name for Dylan. Think we only have just over a week left before we need to register his birth so will need to decide soon.

Cheryl I think its this week you get your ELCS? I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Cheryl posted on the 3rd tri. They think baby might not be breech any more so she's to have a scan on Monday.

Nursery all done apart from the wardrobe being built, which we can do any time really.

What are your options for middle names? We were just going to have Thomas as a middle name for Alex but Stephen wants to put his dads name, David, in there too now since he plastered the nursery lol.

Shaun hates going back to school after a weekend so I know he's going to be a nightmare after the holidays! Kaiden sounds like he's having a great time with his mum and wee brother

I'm so done being pregnant. I almost peed myself during the night because I just couldn't get out of bed and hobble to the bathroom. Had to wake Stephen to drag me out he's starting nightshift tonight so god knows how ill manage.

 

[Kaybee]

You going to put some pics up of the nursery?

So far we don't have any options for a middle name. Don't want FIL name (Robert) as I have an uncle of the same name and don't like him, at all, and therefore don't want that name. I have nothing to do with my dad (James) so not his name either. Someone suggested my maiden name, Stewart, but I'm not all that keen on it. Would use David but it doesn't really sound right.

I know that being done with it feeling. At least having the planned section organised I had an end in sight to focus on. I peed on the bathroom floor a few times when throwing up in the morning/during the night

I must be crazy because with both (crappy) pregnancies I said I'd never do it again and Dylan is only 12 days old and I would if I could afford it & wasn't so old

 

[arlene]

Glad to hear Emma is doing well. Karen, it's great Kaiden is such a good big brother! I think the kissing is a boy thing, my nephew won't kiss anyone! Lol.

We're having Michael as a middle name for James after my uncle who passed away a few years ago. He was my gran's brother and more like another grandparent for us. Xx

 

[Cherrybump]

Kaybee did you have a section to?.. I never got staples kind of glad as i would be crappy myself when they took them out lol. I the dissolving ones and my skin was glued. My scar was leaking out fluid to and it still pretty sore when i get up from the bed i was at the doctors for my jag and got her to look she cut of the little hanging plastic thread for me to and put a badge on my leaky part. the midwife is going to take it off tomorrow for me which im scared about it lol as it been pretty sore just getting out of bed only. the badge was put on to help dry it out as it opened up a little bit i was panicking that id fall out lol

 

[Kaybee]

Arlene I used to get loads of kisses now Dylan gets them all

Christine, yes I had a planned section after an emergency the first time. I didn't want staples either so was glad to just get stitches. I find mine hurts the most getting out of bed but noticed a big improvement today.

 

[lj2245]

I'll put up photos when we have built the wardrobe and I've cleaned the window I'm so happy with it, I'm glad we took the time to do it properly

Just totally butchered myself trimming my bikini line. I've been doing my armpits and legs every day. I don't know why I bother, as soon as I give up shaving and trimming and go back to being hairy, that's when I'll go into labour!

Dylan David sounds ok I think. Wee DD Hehe. What's Kaiden's middle name?

 

[Kaybee]

YAY looking forward to seeing it.

about the hair...that would be typical.

We were thinking a J name would be nice but I can only think of Jacob but not sure. Kaiden's middle name is Lewis.

 

[lj2245]

Joseph or Josh(ua)? Umm...other than that the only J names I can think of are Jaiden (rhymes with Kaiden lol), Joel, Jeremy and Jonas.

DJ would be great initials

 

[Cherrybump]

Ahh!! im hoping it doesnt hurt when she takes this badge off tomorrow and i hope it dry out a little. fingers crossed maybe that why it hurts but who knows i just hope it aint leaked any more xx

 

[arlene]

Hope it goes well with the midwife Christine.

I think I officially have cankles!! Not sure if it's cos I've been doing a fair bit of walking around today but my ankles seem to have swollen a bit. Still no sign of James making an appearance though! Xx

 

[bbymc]

Hey ladles. Finally got 5 mins to come on and catch up lol. Hows everyone doing?

Is that the nursery finished now laura? You'll def need to post some pics! Only 3 days til d day! You think alex will come b4 then?

Karen it sounds like kaiden is having a ball being a big brother! Hows dylan settling in? I think Dylan Jacob would be a lovely name.

Arlene, any sign of James? You due date is fast approaching too. You think he'll show before that?

Christine, hows wee paige doing? I saw that her clip fell off on fb. Lewis' just fell off this morning!

So, thingz with me are gettin easier. We had loads of visitors yesterday as it was our first day at home. Everyone helped with somethin tho so we both got some sleep, a shower, a home cooked meal an our washing brought up to date lol. So although it was full on, it was great! Lol.

Lewis is doing well. We are cup feeding him atm which takes forever but hopefully I will be back to breast feeding really soon. He gets weighed today. He lost 13% of his birth weight while in hospital but gained liads overnight when we fed him some formula so im hoping he'll be near his birth weight again now

 

[arlene]

Aww that's good Emma! Glad to hear Lewis is doing so well. No sign of James yet! I'm happy with that for the moment though as I'm in Nottingham until tomorrow! My next mw appointment I'll be 39+6 so hoping she'll offer me a sweep then. Feels like Laura and I are left out!! Lol. xx

 

[Kaybee]

Arlene I always felt like my ankles were swollen but they never were. It was a weird feeling.

Emma glad you guys are home & Lewis is doing well. Its great when visitors come round and help out....I like those kind of visitors. Hope your MW visit goes well today.

Dylan has settled in great. I think its maybe a lot to do with BF Kaiden for so long but my milk came in really quick and he seems happy having a feed and then will sleep for 3-4 hours - Kaiden never really did that so already they seem to be completely different characters. I was expecting to be stuck to the sofa for hours on end again

I'm not normally one for lovey dovey posts but I have to say I am so lucky and in love with my 2 boys Laura, its true somehow your heart just doubles lol.

 

[lj2245]

Aww I was in a right bad mood until I read that Karen, hehe

There's no way Alex is arriving before his due date. 4 weeks of contractions and bloody shows and still no baby. He's going to arrive overdue, kicking and screaming and totally massive!

Glad you're all doing so well with your LOs. I still have Shaun's clip and cord haha!

 

[Kaybee]

Well its all true

When do you see your MW next?

 

[lj2245]

Thurs, when I'll be 40+1. Is it still 10 days overdue they book induction for?

 

[Kaybee]

Err I was 12 days over for my induction maybe cause the 10 days would of been a saturday
