Passion, I say I'm very fertile but obviously hubby likes to think otherwise and joked he should sell it on eBay. Men!!!
It was me who started the 30 day shred. I love it. I did it before I was pregnant and it was great!! I'm really
Stubborn though and can't start at level 1 so I started at level 3 lol. It's killing at the start but it keeps getting easier.
I switched Markus his cot mobile on for the first time today. He looks shocked lol!!!

 

[OmiOmen]

I couldn't do the 30 day shred, I have to wait until 6 months pp before I can start slowly on a treadmill. I wanted to be back at the gym at 3 months pp and quickly back to high cardio classes but it's not going to be possible.

I love that t-shirt!

 

[pebbie1]

Thanks Omi! It's a little onesie Got it from Tesco's x

 

[OmiOmen]

I'll have to have a look. I have far too many pairs of Animal PJ's for myself.

 

[babyface15]

omg what is this 30 day shred? i def need to look into it. i bought my first post partum pants yesterday - lets just say i was shocked lol!!

pebbie he looks mesmerized hehe!

 

[OmiOmen]

I am 4-5 sizes bugger than pre-pregnancy.

 

[babyface15]

hehe these were 6 sizes bigger and still a little tight LOL!! i, kept having to go back and get the next size up bc i was in denial that I've gone up so much. oh my

i think i jinxed myself last night, she never went back to sleep after her 2 am feed until 6:30. i'm the walking dead here today.

just got baby girl weighed, at 6 and a half weeks she's up to 12 lbs 7 oz. eek! no wonder my back is killing me

 

[OmiOmen]

Lol. I was a little too optimistic with the sizes I took into the changing room to try one too.

I'm getting less sleep with the teething and reflux. Annoyingly DH seems better at telling which one of the two is bothering him at any given point than I am.

Babyface, 30 day shred is amazing! It's from Jillian Michaels, the American trainer on the Biggest Loser. It's a quick workout where you do 3 mins power training, 2 mins cardio and 1 min abs and that 3 times. It's tough but so nice and quick and I had results really quick last time. I love it and almost was addicted to it pre pregnancy. I can only highly recommend it!

Markus his sleeping times are all over the place but on average he wakes around 2 and then 6 and that is after his feed at 7-7.30. So he's not doin too bad He wasn't staying in bed anore either after his bath and feed at 7pm but for the last 2 nights he's been staying in bed again and he's skipping his 11pm feed.

Omi your recovery is more important than exercise and shifting baby weight. It is good they are keeping an eye on you for PND as I imagine a lack of exercise to be a significant factor - particularly if you were active before.

What are pp pants? Do we get a photo of those?!

It is so hot here to be exercising in the house - or outdoors. I did 3 days. Will start again tomorrow!

Matilda is 11lbs 6oz at 8 and a half weeks. 50th centile for everything.

How were the jabs? We have ours Thursday.

 

[Zfbaby]

Jabs went well. He screamed the place down when they did them but calmed pretty quick. I gave him some calpol when he got grizzly in the evening and he seems ok now. It's just so hot in the house even with fans etc it's probably making him worse.

 

[Little Ducky]

He's just really suffering with cramps/colic/constipation still, does seem to be getting better slowly though.

I've joined Slimming World, i gained 5 stone during pregnancy so I've got my work cut out! Might invest in that 30 day shred DVD too!

 

[CLH_X3]

Good luck at SW ducky!

Iv lost all my baby weight about 1-2 weeks ago, all 2st 5lbs gone! Thank god ... I joined ww last week aswel ...

 

[OmiOmen]

Glad the jabs went well zfbaby.

I know it won't help you feel much better little ducky but reflux is normally worse the first few month so you should get an improvement soon.

Well done on the weight loss CLH. You'v done well to lose it so quickly.

I'm am not happy with just how much bigger I am now but am not going to worry too much about it yet as I can't really do enough to shift it yet.

 

[Zfbaby]

Ducky- was he checked for tongue tie? After weeks of being told louis had colic, reflux,milk allergies etc it turns out all out problems were caused by him being tongue tied. The only hv to notice it saud it didn't matter but it turns out it mattered a lot and now it's been cut he's having to learn how to feed again. I remember you saying that our babies sounded the same? Just wondering?

 

[babyface15]

thanks pebbie I'll definitely check it out - I really like how short it is

haha passion I meant my first pair of non maternity pants since having the baby. I knew none of my old clothes would fit as they were all really fitted, so I went out top do a bit of shopping.

on that note, bf mammas what do you wear in terms of tops. I went to try on a whole bunch of gorgeous summer tops to realize my big nursing bra made everything not work

good job losing the weight clh and so sorry your having a hard time ducky

 

[pebbie1]

Babyface I wear tops that are a bit looser so I can sort of lay Markus underneath it when feeding. I've tried a few pre pregnancy tops but my boobs are just too big now and they won't fit in any of the tops that are a bit tighter around the boobs!

Markus woke at 4 am this morning for a feed and was making lots of sounds so to my absolute delight (NOT) Marielle came walking into the room!! So I've been awake ever since with a very hungry boy (growth spurt?) and a very grumpy toddler who doesn't want to go and have a nap! I need a drink lol

 

[Zfbaby]

Bottle feeding mamas how much is baby drinking and how often?

 

[babyface15]

yeah I think I need to go out again and try on different things. I kept trying on things that I would have liked before baby lol

oh that sucks. I had a beer yesterday, it was heaven. if you wait 2-3 hours before nursing its ok to have a drink I've learned to my delight. hahaha

btw how did you get him to start sleeping such a long stretch? are you topping up at night? I'm so tiredddd

 

[OmiOmen]

Any top I can easily get a boob out of, lol. I don't wear nursing bras though, I couldn't find any at a reasonable price in my size and I'm not convinced many look supportive. I am still only going out for short spaces of time so feeding discreetly while out isn't too much of an issue yet. I have NIP once so far although in all the time of feeding DS1 I never did it in a really public place anyway.
