Tara I will def check out that site, I wanna win stuff lol... If you win again I would see what some of those items are going for on eBay, that way you can sell and get something you may need.

Amanda hopefully the sweep works, idk exactly what those do but I know your coming down to the wire.

Bailey glad your having a good time on vacation!

Afm I'm just dead tired lately... Mylan is still on a sleep all day schedule and then it's hard for me to keep him up during the day because I'm trying to catch up on the sleep I lost the night before. My body feels a lot better and I've lost 30 lbs so far but I'm still 20 lbs away from pre-baby weight and about 50 lbs away from where I would like to be...also I'm still bleeding occasionally and it sucks because I'm dying for some loving

Hi girls

Here's a photo of isla at Bathtime

Afm I am still bleeding too (and tomorrow that's been 3 weeks). When does it normally stop? I'm crying quite a lot too and struggling to handle the fact that my boyfriend goes out whenever he wants and doesn't seem that interested in 'family time' at all

Xx

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Bailey- glad your having fun on your vacation!
Nikki- hopefully his sleep schedule gets figured out soon!
Nicky- she is adorable!! I can't remember how long I bled with Mikey.

AFM- today is my due date. I've had nothing yet besides the occasional contractions that I've been having for the past week. I am so hoping and praying he comes on his own before I am induced next Tues/Wed!

 

[Dollybird]

Fab pics ladies!! Glad u having a nice holiday bailey I'm jealous! Lol. Amanda hope your sweep works!
Nikki I'm still bleeding too, and I'm 4 weeks post op.. Missing the loving too! Haha. It's been months for me as when I was preggo I didn't want to (no desire at all!) can't wait for the bleeding to stop so we can "resume physical activities"
Nicky I've been crying a lot too - think its hormones really. I'm gradually getting better but I too am having issues with hubby - I get annoyed as he doesn't help with night feeds and I sometimes feel like he assumes because he's back at work the baby is all my responsiblity. I get that kinda but at least when he goes to work he's sat at a desk, can eat/drink/toilet when he pleases. Then he come home and can sit on his iPad or watch the telly.. I'm not so lucky! Lol. However we ha a big heart to heart last night and he's agreed to help more, and do the last evening feed so I can go to bed early and get some sleep before baby is up again for another feed during the night. To be fair he does loads else to help, and I kinda blame myself I should've been more open with him and told him from the start what I expected of him- sometimes men need it spelt out! Lol. Anyways my little man has been a real grump the past few days. The health visitor thinks he has reflux and he's also constipated so I'm switching formula to comfort stuff at the next feed.. Wish me luck! I'm praying it works I need some rest.. He's been barely sleeping, day or night, past few days, ad crying inconsolably at times it makes me feel awful. i hate thinking he has a sore tummy and there's nothing I can so to ease it for him!
Hope everyone else is well! Hello to Tara, Sophie, Naomi and anyone else I've not mentioned (I'm tired so excuse my forgetfulness) lots of love xxx

Hi all, just to let you know, Noah John Clarke was born on 13th August 2013 at 9.07pm uk time, weighing 6lbs13oz (3.1kg). Labour was v quick, waters broke, I didn't realise I was having contractions until I was 3cm dilated, 5 hours later he arrived! No painkillers, no gas n air, just an episciotomy at the final push as he wasn't coming out. I love him so much but after one night at home am already exhausted!!! I'll pop back soon, am going back to bed. Lots of love Sophie xx

Oh Soph he is so cute.......WOW boy thread.........Isla what the heck you have quite the little gents to pick from....lol

Nicky- I love that pix of her it is darling like she is waving to us all. I love to take pix I will post some cute ones soon....As for ur crying probably a little post partum depression, if it continues, call ur dr. THEY will help you and it's totally normal.

AFM- Well this week has been really nuts my kids BF which is also are neighbor I she is 6 and a fun little girl, well she went away with us last weekend and I ended up having to rush her home sunday am cuz she got VERY VERY sick on me. Her mom took her to the ER and they said she had a bladder infection, 24 hrs after the antibiotic was in her still no improvement went back to our childrens hosp ER told her the same thing and she had bladder infection...48hrs on an antibiotic and STILL NOT better (tues) running a high fever and not eating at all. Got rushed to ER weds afternoon to find out that she had a puss sack the size of an orange building off of her appendix which in turn made her appendix rupture and she had to go in for emergency surgery and have all the toxins taken out. This little girl is so cute and my kids Best friend...She is in hosp and VERY sick still, she will not be coming home til sun at the earliest and she also has to have Home IV antibiotics for 2-3weeks after coming home. Please say a prayer she gets better....I went to visit her last night after surgery and wanted to cry. But my motherly instinct took over sun am and knew something wasn't right. So her mom said I want you to know what a wonderful person you are and how intuned you are to children..Made me feel good
With that being said Natalie (my 5 yr old) has been complaining the last 2 days her ear hurts and she bumped her head by her ear a couple days ago. I attributed it to that, well last night I asked her was it inside or out that hurt she said inside. So I called the dr this am to get her looked at and she ended up having a bug that crawled into her ear canal and had attached itself to a piece of wax...... What the heck I cannot catch a break. She is okay and they gave her eardrops to help with irritation. What a day!!!!!

Now with all these boys when I do start TTC really hopes it rubs off on me........I just want 1 more and a boy at that. lol
Hope everyone is better and the bleeding stops soon for all of you...Lots of hgs and love as ALWAYS Tara xoxoxoxoxo

Amanda, I know your probably so frustrated with not having the baby yet...40 weeks is long enough as it is but its hard to imagine going past...Have you been doing anything at home to try and bring labor on?

Nicky, Isla is soooo cute...shes going to be a heartbreaker. Hopefully DH will start helping more..being a first time mom will make you feel even worse about how much help you get because we are soooooo into our babies and guys are kinda just there lol He will start helping more, he just hasnt had the bonding that you and baby have had over the past 10 months.

Sophie, your little man is sooo cute..congrats and get some sleep girl!

Bailey have you started the clomid yet or are you still on vaca?

Tara, what a good thing that you were able to bring attention to that little girls problem otherwise she could have really been in danger because of her appendix!!

Dolly, Hopefully LO starts feeling a little better...its hard not knowing what is wrong with them. I would use gas drops with feedings if you think it may be gas..or burp more frequently or you may need to switch bottles to reduce air. I know those things helped me with my other LOs.

AFm, still no lovin yet! lol maybe tomorrow since we will have a babysitter for our older kids. Im going crazy. Mikayla's bday is next wednesday... 4 years old... it goes by so fast it makes me really sad. We are taking her to Waldameer (this amusment park / water park) then the following weekend we will have a bounce house and party at our house for her and I ordered such a girl cake, I hope it will turn out nice.

 

[bazzb]

I'm still on vacation
Ill be home tomorrow will catch up then

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Congrats Sophie! He is adorable!

Tara- that is scary, I can't believe the doctors blew it off so much! John had a spider in his ear once, and it was still alive when the doc flushed it out! Yuck!

Bailey- I hope you had a blast!

AFM- good news! Thursday I went shopping with my mom to get walking in. And Thursday night around 8:30 my water broke! I wasn't having regular contractions yet, so we waited for my in laws to come pick Mikey up, and then we headed to the hospital. Contractions kicked in on the way there. They picked up pretty strongly around 12:30-1:00am and Wesley James was born at 3:38am! He was 8lbs2.4ozs, and 19inches long. He is so sweet, and looks exactly like Mikey did when he was born! My goal was to not have an epidural, and I didn't!

Even though I have this cute and wonderful new baby boy I am feeling somewhat down. My mom and sister were in the room while I was laboring, and John asked them to leave when I was getting ready to push. It had always been the plan (same when Mikey was born) that it was just going to be the two of us plus our doula while I was delivering. So my mom got upset and left. She said that John was disrespectful and rude to her. My sister was there, and she says my mom is way overreacting and he was not rude about it at all. So now my mom won't even come see her new grandson, and is keeping my dad away too. It's just so frustrating and upsetting to me and I don't know what to do. She is now saying that John must not like all the time I spend with her, so she is just going to distance herself. He has never once said that! This is supposed to be a happy and exciting time, and it just doesn't feel like it now!

 

[MommyNikki]

Amanda that seems really immature of your mom...she should understand that this is a special and intimate moment for you and DH and that she would have gotten to see the baby right after anyways. Hopefully your sister or someone can talk some sense into her. You would think especially with all the health issues you have been through that they would appreciate any time spent as a family and learn to pick battles a little better rather than hold grudges over petty things and end up regretting time lost.

congrats on the little one, cant wait to see more pics!

 

[Dollybird]

Tara that poor little girl! I will have her in my prayers. I'm sure she will recover quickly though, children are so resilient! That's crazy about the bug in your little ones ear also!.. Scarey stuff! Hope things are ok with you otherwise and hope u catch a break soon
Nikki I've got the wee one on infacol drops and I'm using dr browns bottles. He's still a wee bit unsettled but hoping it passes soon once the new milk has had proper chance to take effect. Hope u get some loving soon
Amanda big congrats chick!! So pleased u finally had your bubba!! Try not to worry about your mother she'll come round eventually once she realises how daft she's being. Don't let it spoil this special time for you
As for me.. Another wound infection so more antibiotics. The doc says I might need a scan though and possibly further surgical intervention as things haven't resolved but hoping this second lot of antibiotics fix things. Keep your fingers crossed for me ladies, I just wanna be healed! Feeling very down about it xxx

 

[Womble12]

Congratulations on Wesley Amanda. Cute cute pic of mikey holding him! And it sounds like a good labour, well done. What a Shame about your mum but I'm sure she'll come around.

Jenna glad the drops are working. There is so much to learn, I've no clue at the moment why Noah cries and what to do when he does!

Tara, well done on spotting your neighbours girl wasn't right. And urggg your poor little one with the bug. She Needs lots of hugs now.

Nikki, hope you got some lovin ha ha!!

Nicky hope your fella is helping you a bit more, you done the hard bit, he needs to help you now. Men eh!!

Tara your a supermum !! You seem to have an unfair amount of difficult stuff to deal with! I so hope u get a break soon....

Afm doing mostly good (less tears) and wee isla is just a star! Two nights ago she did 5 hours in a row then last night did 4.5 hours then up for 30 mins then down again for nearly 3. So proud of her!! What a difference I feel getting just a little more sleep
Anyway (advanced tmi alert!) I had a horrible constipated type situation yesterday (I've never been constipated in my life) and it was so sore and then I had blood pouring out like a heavy bleeding nose!! I didn't know what to do so I took some laxatives and then a few our later I tried again. So painful!! I eventually used my hands (!!!!) the rectify the situation!! Sorry tmi. Anyway all good now thank goodness . Geez the things we have to do to have a baby!!!

 

[Dollybird]
