I'm being impatient about Photobucket but I did upload some to Facebook so I'll just post a link to the album:

You lose a lot of the quality with Facebook but that's okay!

Allie, those pics are amazing. I can actually see a little bit of a man in his face if you know what I mean. There is something in his face where you can tell what he's going to look like as an adult. He's going to melt hearts.

How did they do the floating balloon one? I'm dense. Blaming it on the pregnancy brain. I love the ones with him in a suitcase and the Scotland teddy bear.

Allie- I'm at work so will get on FB to check out the pics later today Can't wait!

Hi girls, I've been reading posts back recently, but too tired to comment as Charlotte's sleeping is really poor at the mo. From what I can remember:-

Good luck Rounders, can't wait to hear news!

Nato, love what you did to the lamp! Admit it, you did it deliberately didn't you! I wish I had that much money to spend on a lamp! Did you let your MIL take Eloise in the end today? She sounds like a right pain in the ass! Is there any mileage in getting John to have a word with her about her treatment of you?

Allie, your little man is so cute in your fb pics!

Vicky, I'm jealous of you going to Paris! Mal and I got engaged and spent part of our honeymoon there, I bloody love the city!

Hearty, you are so close to the finishing line. Hope you're taking it nice and easy!

Ditto Jen. I had the electric shock thing in the last 10 weeks. Scared the hell out of me! I got used to it eventually and stopped freaking out as much.

Hi to every else x

 

[Sugarlove2]

Meant to say re the sex conversation. I felt really randy during pregnancy and dtd right up till the end. It's now I have a problem with. My libido has totally vanished. Do you think this is normal? Charlotte is over 5 months old now, and we've dtd once. Rock and roll eh!

 

[Allie84]

Hey Sugar! So, what's Charlotte's sleeping like? I've only gained a good sleeper in the past week so I'm not sure I have any sound advice lol.

Hearty, for the balloon photo she had Alex hold the basket on one side in the air for a few shots, then had him hold the basket in the same position but on the other side and she composited them using photoshop, so you can't see Alex. I love that one! Alistair was very confused as to why he was in the air in a basket.

Lucy, I meant to answer your quesiton about my MIL and address what Nato mentioned as well...my MIL isn't even Scottish, she's from Belfast! She's lived mostly in Scotland since she was 15, though. As far I know she thinks it's fun and exotic that I'm American but I'm sure she resents me a bit for taking her little boy away to another continent.

Nato, I'm curious like Sugar as to whether your MIL took the wee one today or not?

 

[Sugarlove2]

Allie, Charlotte was a great sleeper from 3 weeks old sleeping right through the night and waking up at 6 for the day. Suddenly it's all changed. The other night she woke up at 1,3 and 5am and that was her up for the day. This morning I could hear her thrashing about next to me from 4am, but managed to ignore her till 4.45 where I fed her and again that was her up. I'm exhausted. It could be a lot worse I know, but it's just changed when she turned about 4 months old. Must be this bloody 4 month sleep regression thing I keep hearing about

Allie, good to hear things are improving on the sleep front. Maybe there's hope!

 

[LucyJ]

Allie I love the photos Alistair is gorgeous love the pic of the 3 of you just perfect.

Vicky I forgot to say about Paris thats great news yoy & Alex will have a wonderful time.

Sugar its rough I know but will get better Benjamin didnt start sleeping through untill about 9 monthsish apart from the odd day but now hes pretty good well apart from tonight when hes been awake since half 2. Does she nap during the day? Benjamins not great at it and there doesnt seem to be a pattern to it getting him down can be a bit of a drama some nights. As far as sex I think we did it once or twice in the first 8 months. Benjamin not being in our room has made a difference but I wouldnt say its regular at the moment as I was always so tired and didnt have much of a sexdrive but that seems to be coming back now. Just give yourself time for me it took a while for my hormones to settle down.

He's here........Bryce Elliot was born last night at 9:39 pm he weights 6lbs 5 oz. He's so adorable, I'm totally in love. Forgot my phone cable, so will upload pics later.

Crazy delivery, took 7 hours for the induction to start. Then only 2 hours to go from 3cm to fully dilated. They put my epidural then I could feel his head start to come out so they didn't even give me the drugs. I ended up pushing him out using only gas and air (which I didn't know my hosptial offered).

Everyone is doing fine, he slept quite well last night, so I actually feel pretty good!!

 

[Dazed]

Congrats round!

 

[vickyd]

Yay!!!!!! Congratz hun!!! What a great name!!!!!

 

[NatoPMT]

OMG!!!! That was bloody quick, i was thinking he'd be here today on Hoping's birthday....

CONGRATULATIONS​

How is Maddy? How are your lady bits? are you back home yet? PICTURES!!!!!!!

Hoping.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY​

​

Sugar, she'll get the hang of it again, she might be regressing, or just learning something new which can interrupt their sleeping with all the thinking about the new thing.

Afm:

I am officially TTC - its CD1 and this is the month we start trying again. Let the hysteria, panic and anxiety begin! I just dusted off my opks and have been taking my pregnacare and 5mg folics for a few months now, so i am ready to roll (in the hay).

Eloise stayed home with me this week. Her pal Isabella came round and showed off crawling while Eloise decided to opt out of any mobility to sit and chew stuff.

 

[vickyd]

OOOOhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Good luck Nato!!!! Looking forward to your neurotic antics hahaha!!!!!

 

[NatoPMT]

careful what you wish for Vic, i can crank it up to 10 you know

In fact, Ive started already, just off to buy some CoEnzyme Q10. I have started reading the TTC over 35's and theres a thread about it in there. I took CoEQ10 for a few years in my 30's, i wonder if thats why i was lucky enough to have Eloise at 40

 

[jenny25]

Congrats round well done xxxx


Eeek nato so excited for you xxxx

 

[hoping:)]

Welcome, Bryce!!! LOVE the name. I can't wait to see pictures of his sweet little face.

Nato- Thank you! That was very sweet of you. I'm also looking forward to your crazy TTC madness!

I haven't read back but I will and repost

 

[Sassy_TTC]

[vickyd]

Nato I predict you will be heavily pregnant by end of October as I will be back in London Town for another wedding. Stay true to the tradition of me smoking fags in your garden while you stare passionately at my hand to mouth motion hahahaha!!!!!!
