February 2014 thread for new mums :)

Aw glad he liked it! I'm looking forward to taking her swimming just not sure when i can go, my dh doesn't really like it and i don't fancy taking 2 on my own :/
We had our jabs last week, no reactions but she threw the rotavirus one straight back up again so we're going back later today. Hopefully she keeps this one down...

So Ladies who here is getting some action lol.......... Me and oh are on totally different schedules and at present are never in bed awake together at the same time or if we are I'm feeding looks like this baby will be an only child and ill be a reborn celibate ...............

I have to say though I'm loving ever second of being a mum even the tough days I seriously cannot believe how much "stuff" they accumulate . My living room has been taken over !! I got a new mei tai sling and am loving it . Grocery shopping is now transformed

Exactly the same here! I think the 'will' to DTD is gradually returning but the logistics are not making it very likely at the moment! My official bedtime is 9pm. I managed to get LO asleep by 8 last night but was so knackered we just had a quick cuddle on the sofa and tried to discuss non-baby things for 30 mins!

my hubby came home yesterday after being away for a week at work and was immediately doing the 'come to bed' actions. skye went down for a nap and I was in the mood so happy to go alIng with him ;-) however only problem is hubby is still too focused on making a session last whereas I'm like 'get a move on or she'll wake up'. so romantic!

Candy that's so funny ! Can just iMagine ye telling him to get a move on lol !!!

I'm kind of popping in here late but I see a lot of familiar faces!

Tyler was born on February 22!

It's been a bit exhausting as a new mom but I love my little boy beyond comprehension. He is continuing to amaze me every day.

How is everyone else doing?

Thank you! He has so much clothing. We're trying to throw him into all of it at least once.

hey ladies I want to take my girl swimming but confused as to what she needs. I'm guessing a waterproof nappy under a swimming costume (any recommendations for a good brand) but what about arm bands or inflatables?? advice appreciated please xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

I went last week with Sean . We bought swim nappies ( Huggies ) do them called little swimmers . I just bought them in the supermarket buts I'm sure chemist shops sell them too , had him in all in one swimming costume I got in mothercare . And I didn't use anything like rings or armbands . I just held him and let him float while supporting him . He LOVED it . It was like he was saying " hey I remember this feeling " lol ....

 

[wishuwerehere]

Hey sweet i remember you from the due dates thread. Your lo is a cutie!

You definitely won't need armbands at this stage - possibly a support or seat but i would just hold lo and let them float in your arms. A lot of pools also have a double swim nappy policy - one disposable then one reuseable.

LOVELY pics sweettart naww look at that blanky! x

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Ri. They are beautiful how much they change is incredible !!

 

[Kay_Baby]

I love photos. I was sorting what we got printed a couple of months ago last night into an album. Couldn't believe how much both my boys keep changing.

What have you all got planned for the long weekend? I'm going to visit an authors house with my book group on Saturday afternoon. We are going out for dinner on Sunday for MIL's birthday and are going shopping on Monday for a couple of camping bits we need (going on the next bank holiday weekend) and clothes for both boys.

 

[Left wonderin]

I'm going to get a start on packing . I'm off to Italy next Saturday for 11 days. Oh is representing Ireland in the world agility competition and me and Sean are going along to cheer him on .

I'm a bit unsure what to bring tbh and what to buy there , nappies etc ??? And clothes , I've bought a good few romper suits but Ireland is so cold even in summer dressing for the sun is not my strong point !!
