Beach Bump Graduates!

sorry as per usual just a quick post, BFing #2 is ok here, it's just normal for DS now. I guess it depends on the toddler. Cam's no more demanding when Cassie's feeding. I'm quite adept at cuddling him on sofa whilst feeding or he plays happily on his own. Also w second after successfully (ish) feeding one baby the second has been easier for me. Lots of variables I guess. (And it means I have to/get to sit down through the day)

Doh I posted from my iphone earlier and it's not come through...

Simmy - shame about your childminder, I hope she is better tomorrow. I wish we lived closer to help as we'd have Leo to help I bet him and Ajay would get on well these days.

Han - poor you. I hope annabelle's lip is ok and that you have managed to relax this evening. Just remember Greg is off work tomorrow so you have a wonderful week together!

Mel - so glad Lucas is being a good boy still but please take it easy and don't work too hard. Also, you're setting a precedent for us to bake when we have our next babies and I could barely function after ajay! I am so glad the recovery is going well though for you.

Georgie - I love the photos of you and M on facebook. How is she with her colic tonight?

Julie - I'm sure you will be fine with the feeding. Hopefully Violet will be a good girl and feed quickly!

I've had a wonderful few days off work. Today we came home for toddler group which was nice to see our friends and then this afternoon we just mucked about at home playing games and cuddling. I feel so close to him now and we have had so manhy cuddles and smiles and he says 'happy' now when he means it which is so sweet.,

I'm off to Birmingham tomorrow as we have an office there and I am joining a friend from works hen do so we have a night out tmorrow which will be great. Then Neel's parents have asked to have Ajay on Friday as they didn't have him on Tuesday. I'm sure it will be fine but that will be two days apart for me but it will be a nice time for Ajay as well - getting spoilt bless him! x

Hey everyone, just a quickie as Annabelle now has a temperature so I'm looking after her and Gregs out. Can't believe shes properly sick again, very sad.

Simmy - I hope the nanny comes back tomorrow for you but well done on doing such a fab job the past couple of days and for having the ability to go into london. It will be worth it to show you are interested but a long day I'm sure.

Saw OBEM, very very sad. I can't believe the couple were so strong and amazing to have recorded it all and bringing such a terrible condition into the public eye. I had never heard of it before but certainly am aware now.

Oh and yescan't believe I'm 34 weeks tomorrow - where has that gone?! Although I'm really expecting to go to 41 weeks so I have time still. I do need to start actually doing something for this baby though as I have done nothing at all - it doesn't have a bed, clothes, and my hospital bag is far far from done lol! I promised myself I'd do it this easter....

 

[melissasbump]

Hann... based on my experiance you may only have 3 weeks left..lol x

 

[Hann12]

I take your point Mel - but I don't have high BP so I think I'll be fine for a good 6-7 weeks yet

 

[melissasbump]

famous last words...lol xx

 

[Hann12]

Lol it seriously cannot come early!!!

 

[mummySS]

Tee hee you just never know Hann, especially with no 2!!

Caz how sweet that Ajay says 'happy' - bless him! Enjoy your hen tonight, enjoy a night out, goodness it's been ages since I had one of those!

Nanny called in sick again today but Paul has been a star and has taken the day off, taken Leo to the lido in the morning while I slept til 11.30! Lol. Haven't got much work done (again!) and now I'm waiting at the doctors surgery for my hyperemesis check up. Am still on the meds and when I don't take them I feel even worse, so they keep asking me to come back to weigh me etc.

Oh sorry tmi but have any of you pregnant or recently preg ladies been leaking? Leo rammed into my chest earlier and a trickle of colostrum came out, I was a bit surprised as I never had this the first time round. I guess your milk ducts never really close properly? Hann have you had this?

 

[Hann12]

Just at soft play so will answer properly when at home but no not had leaking at all! My boobs are starting to get a bit more achey but that's all. Just actually ordered a pretty bra and knicker set from babame so that i can feel moderately nice in the normally frumpy underwear!!

 

[Doodlepants]

Hiya, sorry for the lack of posting! I am reading along- Naomi's poorly and as a horrible rash. Will post properly in a bit! xx

 

[Blue_bear]

Simmy, I leaked xx

 

[melissasbump]

Hi all

Thanks ladies for all your concerns, i am feeling pretty good but know i do have to slow down a bit. Went to GP today re blood pressure as i have to have regular checks at the mo as im on tablets still, its still a bit high and will be on the tablets a few weeks yet unfortunately. other than that all was fine.
Boys are good, Harrison had a hair cut today, he was such a good boy, say in the chair all by himself and let the barber cut and clipper him without batting an eyelid, so proud of him and he looks so grown up! He is also in bed on his second night of duvet and pillow with success!

Simmy, re leakage, no i never did either time hun

Maria, sorry to hear Naomi is poorly wish her better x

Dont know why im writing this post backwards... think im tired Whats everyone got planned for Easter weekend, we are over my parents for most of it i think. Weathers gonna be so cold for being out in, though we do have tickets for a spring country show for monday if we feel like going.

Hann... based on my experiance you may only have 3 weeks left..lol x

Based on your experience, I should have a one week old instead of being a beached whale.

I leaked colostrum with both pregnancies.

I was a big milk leaker, too, which was so annoying because my supply was crappy and I wanted every drop I made to go to baby.

Maria -- I hope Naomi feels better very soon! Poor girl.

Sorry I can't seem to get organized to post all at once today. Nesting, apparently, but running out of steam quickly so have been sitting down and reading bnb when resting.

 

[caz_hills]

Hi everyone,

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. Was in Birmingham for work and had a hen do for a work colleague which was loads of fun.

Han I didn't leak before I had Ajay or after.

Mel is h in a bed now? We have a fireman Sam duvet for Ajay once it gets warmer!

Han - how is Annabelle? Is she better?

Julie - you rest up please not long to go now!

So need to drive home soon and neels parents want to see Ajay today as they didn't on Tuesday and the rest of the weekend. So Neel and I thought we might have some time together. X

 

[Hann12]

Hopefully only 2/3 weeks left max Julie - make the most of it while you can!!

Caz - sounds like you've had lots of fun! Hope you have a nice day with Neel - is he better now? I'd have told the inlaws to poke it but I'm mean lol!

Maria - how is N now? Hope much better

Georgie - hope you are okay

Mel - H has really stepped up into his role as big brother! Hair cuts and all! I'm glad the dr said you were doing well, that's fab news. Its bound to take a good few weeks for the BP to lower. I think you are being inspirational anyway!

Simmy - hope you have a nice weekend!

Just had breakfast in bed, off to London in a bit to meet a friend for lunch. It always tires me out going into London especially at nap time. It's probably my last opportunity to see her before the baby in a very long time though so should make the effort.

Hope everyone has a nice Good Friday!

 

[mummySS]

Hello all, typically late post from me!

Mel, how sweet that Harrison sat still for the barbers, my goodness he is such a good boy! And doing well with his pillow and duvet too, bless him! I agree with Hann I think you're doing amazingly well, so inspirational. Please tell us the bad bits too lol as I'm going to start getting complacent otherwise! Haha.

Julie I'm glad you're managing to get a rest in between working!

Caz glad u had fun in Bham, hope you have a lovely weekend.

Maria hope Naomi is better soon xx

Hann how was your lunch in London? I know what you mean about going into town, it's always such a mission! I do love London though, am such a city gal at heart. Anyway hope you're not too tired and enjoyed the outing. How was greg with annabelle while you were away?

AFM busy day, we took Leo to our favourite park in Ealing this morning, followed by nandos. We were going to shop while he napped in the buggy but were both so knackered we just came home lol. So we all had a long nap in the afternoon which was nice. Then this evening I went out for dinner with the NCT girls - just to local pizza express but was sooo lovely to go out - it has literally been months since I've been out!

Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend x x
