Hi Ladies, sorry for the delay. Well, team yellow turned to team pink! Baby Darcey arrived on Friday morning at 2.40am weighing 6lbs10oz exactley 2 weeks over due!! We are delighted, she is beautiful. It was a very long labour and will update fully as soon as I can. I hope you're all doing well with your little bundles and will be asking for any tips soon.

 

[LadyL]

Congrats on baby girl Darcey!! (love the name!). Sorry you had such a long labor, but I know she's worth it!! 6 lbs 10oz-- that's tiny for 2 weeks overdue! Maybe I
Just think so since I had a chunky 8 pounder!! Haha! Enjoy your new baby girl!!

congrats claire, super cute name. i really thought i'd have a 6lb baby as im pretty small woman, and we were both 6lb babies, Erin is a little chunky monkey. on friday she had gone past her birth weight (8,5) up to 8lb8. she's feeding well, although at night was every 2 hours which was exhausting as by the time she'd gone back down, i was only getting an hours sleep at a time. working on extending that now, and last night was at least every 3 hours which was better. i am loving being a mummy soooo much, keep staring at her in awe and can't stop kissing and smelling her (her head smells amazing lol)

lady and trix, cute pics of your men, gorgeous little things!!

i cant seem to find the time to come on here much, but hopefully that will improve as theres longer between feeds!

hope everyone is doing well

exciting lilrojo, not long to go now!!!

was thinking what do people think of creating another group for now we have the babies/as the rest do? not quite sure where it should go though, as under baby forums there doesnt seem to be a 'group' section. would love for us all to stay together somehow

 

[LadyL]

Yay Lilrojo! You're in the home stretch now!!

Dreamer, I am down for us creating another group. I would also for all of us to stay together too. I don't really get on the forums that much other than to check in here. And now, I check out the breastfeeding section if I'm curious about breastfeeding-related things. I think there is a baby "groups" section under the lounge/general chatter area.

So Jack and I are doing well. The hubs goes back to work tomorrow, so we'll see how doing this alone is going to pan out. And this Tuesday, Jack will be getting his newborn photos!! I can't wait!! I am currently on day 3 of exclusively expressing/pumping breastmilk. We were doing well with breastfeeding, but my poor nipples hurt SO bad, I would literally be in tears during feedings. So I made the decision to exclusively express. And I am a much better person for it!! I feel like he is getting more milk this way and he stays satisfied longer...and I am maintaining my sanity!! It is a bit more time consuming, but since I only feed him every 3-4 hrs instead of every 2, it really isn't that much more taxing. He is taking in 3 to 3.5 oz per feeding. When reading up on how much he should be taking in, it says about 2 oz at this age. So I definitely have a little chunk on my hands. We will go Friday for our first pediatrician appt. I am so curious to see how much weight he has gained. I would not be surprised if he's already passed his birth weight.

Hope all you other ladies are doing well!!

 

[Tobaira]

congrats Claire!!! Lilrojo your time will be here before you know it!

good to hear you are finding a way to stay sane ladyl =)

hope the rest of you are getting some sleep! We're doing ok here. Tonight I actually went out for the first time (somewhere other than dr's appointments and the store lol). My mom took my MIL, my sister and me to the exhibition part of one of the international figure skating competitions. It was really cool and the seats were surprisingly good. It was good to get out of the house, although I had to sleep all day to have the energy to even go (luckily everyone was very accommodating and handled all the daytime feeds).

Tomorrow is our next visit with the pediatrician and the respiratory therapist comes as well, so hopefully Cassandra will be able to come off her oxygen. And I'm excited for the measurements as well.

Here's a question for you guys - we've had tons of problems with the girls wriggling out of their diapers (poor kids have the flattest butts in the world) - we've been using huggies preemie diapers. Anyone have better luck with another brand (doesn't have to be preemie)? I've had days where I've had to change their outfits 3 times (as well as the bedding) because they've wet through. not sure if it's the brand or just the preemie diapers are too small for the amount they are peeing out.

Hi girls, i've never done a link before so hope it works! i know lilrojo, baby2310 and workingttc are still awaiting their bundles of joy to arrive (and any of the others who still follow but maybe don't post...), so perhaps we can wait and use the new thread once everyones babies are here so we can all stick together...or we all move to the new thread now...whichever. just thought i'd set it up ready while i had a bit of time

Hi ladies

I was on this thread at the beginning when I was TTC using the CBFM and then once I got pregnant. Life then got in the way with my brother requiring heart surgery, moving house, redundancy etc. So I have been MIA but I have been stalking the thread to hear your news

Congratulations to you all who have had your little ones and it wont be long for those still waiting

AFM, Amber was born 4/2/12 by emergency C section weighing 7lb 15 oz. She is gorgeous and worth the horrendous labour and delivery experience although I'm not sure I could ever do it again

Thanks to Dreamer for the new thread, I would love to join you all there if I may?

xx

Hi everyone

I was just scrolling down and i saw your thread, i was in the cbfm thread with you all and remember you all getting your bfps, cant believe u have nearly all had your babies, time has flown. Just wanted to congratulate those that have had theirs, beautiful pics and wish those waiting tons of luck. We did get our bfp but due to male factor it wasnt with the cbfm but hoping after this baby we can use it again. Hugs to all.

 

[LadyL]

So glad you found a way to get out Tobaira! I am sure that makes you feel loads better!! As for diapers, I like pampers swaddlers. They are more snug fitting and I find Jack doesn't pee out of them as much as the Huggies brand. Plus, they have a wetness indicator line that I like so I'm not poking my finger into the actual diaper.

Hi Fizzio!! Congrats on baby Amber. Sounds like you've had a rough ordeal for a while. Here's hoping things only get better for you and your family!!

Good luck wednesday for your appt Lilrojo! Hopefully, you'll have made some more progress and it won't be much longer before you have your little one! I know you're team yellow/green, but I'm feeling BOY for you!

For those of you that had a c section, how long did your Dr tell you to wait before driving? Mine actually never said, but on my discharge papers, it said to wait 6 weeks before driving. Yipes!! There is no way I can wait that long! I live out in the country, 20 minutes from everything!! Now that my husband is back at work, it may not always be feasible for me not to drive. How long did you all wait?

 

[LadyL]

Congrats on your BFP babies!! I remember you from the TTC CBFM thread!! Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy!!

 

[baby2310]

Congratulations Claire & Fizio!
And congratulations babies, i remember you too!

Glad to hear all the new mommies are doing well and looking forward to hearing news of your arrival lilrojo.

Great idea on the new thread dreamer, i'm happy to start using the new one either now or when our LO arrives which is just over 6 weeks away! OMG where did the time go????
Super excited, baby seems to think its quite funny to play football with my bladder now lol and i'm feel prods and kicks pretty much everywhere!
Good to know baby seems happy in there xxxx

Hi everyone. I have not read any posts because we moved 2.5 weeks ago and I don't have Internet hooked up so I'm on my phone. I just wanted to give a quick note to say I hope everyone is well. Can't wait to get online and read the new developments!! I hope no one else has planned on moving with a newborn! What a dumb idea that was! Take care everyone and hope to be back online very soon!!
