Hey girlies,

Having a very emotional day today and i dont no why as i wasnt like this during pregnancy! I cant stop crying and Arianna isnt helpin as she wont sleep...starting to think im not cut out to be a mum!!
Also my ex is still away in the armyy n hasnt even seen his daughter...his sisters say he is desperate 2 see her but he wont show me that!!!!

 

[navarababe]

yay welcome back dana huni, and CONGRATS. i cant wait to see pictures of your little one bet shes gorgeous. Well done u not having any pain relief tho hun

Lucky u losing all that baby weight, ive still got the hanging belly and stretch marks but my mum keeps telling me that will fade, so im trying to believe her.


I went to register Brooke this morning and her name is now Brooke Sophia Edgar, Glad i got that out the way.

Update on brookes colic, ive realised it must be colic as she done poo this morning, ive been giving her infacol since last night, and it seems to be helping a bit thankfully....It smells nice aswell, nice and orangy lol. Maybe thats helped with the constipation aswell....who knows.

How is everyone else? xxx

Hi. I've only just found this thread.....
Charlie was born on 09.04.09 at 37 weeks weighing 6lbs 11oz. I am breastfeeding him and finding it really hard going - especially with 2 other lo's to deal with also.
Congrats to all other april mummies.

Awwww hun I get like this sometimes, Lucas has been awake since 9.30am and has only just gone to sleep now which is bloody typical as he will probably sleep now until late evening and I had specifically invited friends round for 7pm as he is usually awake then so thought they could keep him entertained !

I probably have a cry at least once a day, the other day I was inconsolable, was in a lot of pain from bf and just so tired and my oh was pissing me off.

Just let it all out hun, have you got anyone that can look after her so you can have a couple of hours sleep ?

 

[jenny_wren]

and ive still got the saggy belly
stretch marks and the good
old brown line lol

anyone elses little uns

xx​

 

[mellllly]

infacol i great, it makes the wind come out one way or the other lol!
Sophie can be quite jumpy!

Jackie and Mama2b - I was very emotional in the first couple of weeks, its very overwhelming, just take each day as it comes, you will have good days and bad days. One day Graham walked in from work and i was crying my eyes out because sophie hadnt stopped all day - It gets better honestly! The only tears I have now is for Grahams brother (RIP)

My mum said she would but i feel like i failed if i let her cos i chose to have her knowing it wouldnt be easy u no what i mean!!
EVERYTHING is makin me cry even reading your message i dunno what the hell is wrong with me, my friend says its the baby blues, it doesnt last long does it?
Im so scared of failin bein a mum and crying all the time feels like im doing that...i never cry i feel like a BIG GIRL lol!!! xx

I feel exactly the same hun. This morning my mum and dad bowled in and it made me cry that they were just treating my house like it was theirs...dad was asking me if i wanted toast etc. It was making my blood boil - how bonkers is that when they were here to help me and sort out breakfast etc for me and my other 2 lo's whilst i was seeing to Charlie. It is as if I have no patience or tolerance levels left. xx

 

[mama2b]

I reckon we should all just have a big blubbing session !

I cried the other day becuase OH's mum ironed our clothes and left iron to rest on ironing cover and leaving small creases in Lucas clothes. How ungrateful do I sound !!!

I have also become super sensitive and whatever oh says to me I will have a right barney at the slightest thing even though I know im being unreasonable. I went mad the other day when he bought tesco breast pads instead of johnsons !!

Arrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[chel27]

awww sounds like you all need a big hug

i have been up since 5am and amy has been unsettled all day she just doesnt seem to want to sleep...nothing seems good enough for her......im hoping she will pass out later and sleep all night so i can join her ha ha fat chance eh lol xx

Hi girls, getting pages to catch up on again now!

Girls who are sad/teary - just remember how much we have been through. 9 months of carrying little ones - and different hormones. Now they're here, hormones dropping out and bodies changing again - all with a teeny little one who needs us! Keep smiling, it won't be hard work for long and you'll feel like your in more of a routine!

I really can't complain about Layla, she sleeps soo much! Last night, fed at 9pm, 1am, 5am then 10am. She taking 1 1/2-3 oz a time. She can be a monkey getting her wind up though and we've had projectile sick twice! Don't know if it helps but I don't let her go more than 4-5 hours without a feed in the day if she doesn't wake.

She cried a bit earlier ( nappy and bottle just been done) so I got her out and she went to sleep on me - promptly put her back in, she did the same for her Daddy lol. How can they cotton on so quick?

Did any of you put stuff in their bath? She got quite dry ripped looking skin in places
And getting red bum on some changes - but she poo's that much she's on like 7-10 changes a day so not like she's sat in it much?

UHm rant over, taking me ages to digest what everyone has said and remember babies names to go with usernames now lol!
Oh and I'm over in north wales with jacquii btw !

 

[jenny_wren]

emilys got patches of dry skin
her feet hands and face are terrible
baby oil seems to have worked
a bit though ....

took some 1 month piccies earlier
she's changed sooo much in the
last month ....

xx​

 

[mz_jackie86]

Ahhhh i cant deal with emotions seriously they suck!!!

I hate that everythin is making me cry!
I need bubs in a nice routine and everythin to run smooth and ill be ok..aint gunna happen lol

 

[kellysays2u]

Ugh I am so tired... Spent the day out with OH and Athenas "Aunt" Kori (one of my really close girl friends) and Athena. Dad went swimming (crazy man the water is still only like 40 degrees but it was like 90 out so he thought it would be ok) and Aunty Kori read Athena her first book ever... I know I am a bad mom I dont read to her... Oh and we gave her her first REAL bath... She HATED it... She didnt mind the sponge baths but dear god she was screaming in this bath... Poor little girl.

I havent really been all that depressed which is suprising for me as I actually am diagnosed with depression and am off my meds... Maybe having a baby was just the trick for me... or give me a few days and I will be really bad...

OH and I did have a HUGE fight this afternoon and he told me he wanted a break cause I was refusing to talk to him cause of my angry hormones... But he left for awhile completely mad at me cause I wasn't being nice at all infact I was a complete and total bitch (although I had a reason as this whole fight was cause all of a sudden because my friend didnt know the whole story about something he thought I lied to him and couldnt trust me) and then we talked it all out and everythings better right now...

The only thing on my mind now is that OH and I really want to go have dinner alone just once as we never got to do anything for our one year anniversary cause we were broke from buying baby stuff... Well her "Aunt" Kori is willing to watch her but the problem is she lives over an hour away and we have no way to go pick her up so she would have to stay the night there... I completely trust that her "Aunt" will be amazing with her and all that as she helps me with her all the time and is amazing with kids... I just dont know how I will do with not having her with me... I mean as much as I need/want the alone time with OH at only almost 2 weeks old I feel it might be a little early... I mean my friend didnt leave her son with her mom for a night till he was 2... What do you all think?

 

[jenny_wren]

emily LOVVVVESSSS the bath lol
she screams when you get her out!!



atleast she wont be a smelly child!!

argh she was a right madam last night

Hey ladies

BIRTH STORY!!! ...

https://www.babyandbump.com/birth-a...itehead-3-15th-april-2009-uber-uber-long.html

It is really long but I didn't want to forget one single thing!!

I really really hate hospitals..

Since Thursday Amelia has been making a grunting/bleeting/squeeking noise ... the community midwife came round yesterday and got us to go to the GP, who then made us go to the childrens ward fo her to be looked over.. who then decided she needed a chest x-ray!!! .. that turned out to be clear.. and they haven't given us an explanation for the noises! ..

My 3rd degree tear stitches have also completely come undone.. it doesn't hurt at all but I am so worried they are going to make me have them re stitched.
I'm also worried it won't ever heal and I won't ever be able to get intimate again!!

Picture time...

God I love her soo much!!
