Suz, too funny you say that! i have been really bloated in the evening but i usually have a flat stomach when i wake up... since yesterday though... i cannot hold my guts in anymore! I know it's not all bump but i think my guts have now been pushed up so much i cannot hold it all!
no weight gain yet, which i hope will last a couple more week at least

I got Mirabelle (our youngest dog) spayed by my brother during the holidays, i would love to post pictures of her with her cone of shame on Facebook but all the over breeders are on my friend's list and a lot do not believe you should spay before 2yo (she is 14 months). Anyway, it's a big relief as she was about to come in season and we had booked a bed and breakfast in Wales (i am not sure their dogs would have appreciated... and even if it's the most dog friendly place i know... blood everywhere in the room is porb off limit )

Why are they against spaying before 2 years? We spay/neuter at 6 months here if you aren't going to breed!

 

[Euronova]

breeders are, it's a rare breed and a lot want to wait until the dog is 2years so you now what he will look like when he is fully mature before you decide to breed or not (they are also against breeding dog of that breed that are under 2yo so not all bad).
Also I think the owner of Mirabelle's dad hoped i would have a litter with her, but she is a bit of a miniature for the breed and it's my turn to have babies!

 

[lisaf]

Huh, I guess I can see that... we fixed our dog before 6 months because we knew he was pet quality, we did not have the money, time, or resources to be responsible breeders, and to avoid some of the behavioral problems that can come up once they hit puberty.

As a result, my dog's penis is so small you can hardly tell its there A fringe benefit I guess, but it was quite hilarious to see him next to my dad's Bichon that was a retired breeder and was nicely endowed!

 

[Euronova]

both our girls are spayed now, the cat was too at 5 months!
Breeding is exhausting... I did not sleep more than 10 min at a time for 3 weeks (sorry Lou)
Pets are much happier without the hormones!

When I'm old and retired I'd like to breed Burmese cats!

V we'll have to post bump pics soon!!

Night all, I have a horrid headache so off to bed. Hope you've had fun Lou!

[lisaf]

I'd love to breed Ragdoll cats, but I figure I'd have to be independently wealthy to really do it to my satisfaction, lol.

 

[SBB]

Lou how's your head?!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

Rough!!!

We started "operation no-boob" last night so I didn't feed him drunk and I got a full nights sleep in the spare room! Unfortunately I'm too hungover to have felt the benefits of my first full night sleep since he's been born!

I'd love to co-sleep and BF him in the night until he's ready to stop but he just doesn't sleep next to me- so we decided Ste taking over for a week and seeing what happens is a good thing to try before sleep training...

 

[SBB]

Definitely a good plan. Did he sleep?

Did you smoke ???

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

No he didn't sleep at all!!

Yes I smoked loads!!

 

[Euronova]

Naughty!!! Glad you had a good night!!

[Euronova]

[SBB]

Lou I knew you would!!!!

Scan all fine will post a pic in a bit... Lol V you'll see the difference between the shitty nhs scan/pic and your decent one!!

X x x

 

[SBB]

Haha that's not a bump V you skinny Minnie!

X x z

 

[Euronova]

Glad the scan went well can't wait to see a pic anyhow!!! it seems to have deflated a bit again today...must have got stressed at my parents lol

 

[babyloulou]

Oo Suz- I forgot about your scan!! Post your pic immediately....!!!

V- that's a very flat stomach you jammy cow!! 

 

[Euronova]

starting to think maybe the baby is not growing enough.... i know it's silly but i had a horrible dream 2 nights ago that they told me at the 20 weeks scan that the baby had just not grown.... and there was nothing to do
i am petrified to get big (and worried that i might get so obsessed with not putting on too much weight i will not put on enough!) and then on the other hand i want signs that the baby is changing as it should and want to see week to week that i am getting rounder.... full of contradiction!!!

 

[babyloulou]

Why are you scared of getting big V? It'll be baby not fat! X

 

[SBB]

V it's fine you don't need to worry about it not growing. It's so unlikely and most people don't show yet. And you'll lose the weight you put on. I lost 3.5 stone!! And I was all bump even with that weight gain. And honestly you'd never know looking at me that I'd had a baby. So chill and eat what you want/need!

Here's the pic. It's a unicorn baby!
