I still have to write a birth story. I wanted to wait for a while until I was ready to talk about it, but the health visitor and counsellor agree it is a good place to start, writing it down on here, to get me to talk about it and to deal with it. So birth plan will follow soon!

I hope all you ladies are good. I hope your little ones are all being good jellybeans! Bless them. I can't stop staring at Maddie. I can't believe she's mine! I 'm not sure its a good thing but I can't stop snuggling her! My heart physically feels like it swells every time I look at her! I thought I knew what love was, but I had no idea!

Gotta nip off, Maddie is calling!!

Big hugs!!

Sam xx

AWWW Faff, nice to see you and maddy here, she is amazing and look at all that hair... I look forward to hearing your birth story xxx

 

[Jolene]

Welcome Sam. You have a really beautiful baby! Congrats!

I know I said I'd post more soon... and I will I promise!!! right now, I'm in a crazy nesting mode!!! I think that since I felt so like crap during my pregnancy and couldn't do anything, now that I can, the nesting I was supposed to have is hitting now. I've been doing everything from scrubbing floors, re-folding laundry, re-organizing cabinets, and dusting every single surface to even scrubbing the walls and cabinets!!!!

I feel awesome right now though. Breast-feeding is getting less stressful, my man is taken care of (even though I still can't DTD, there are other things ), my baby's happy, I have loads of energy, and I'm able to clean and be a woman again. Plus my figure is looking pretty awesome already so I feel better about my self-image too!!!! Overall, I'm so much happier than when I was pregnant- I feel like Super Woman!!!!

 

[millward329]

Go go super woman!

Lovely to see Maddy Faff, she is beautiful. Glad you a feeling a bit more with us and have come on to say hi...it's good to hear from you x

 

[Jolene]

Regina, so glad you're feeling better. Wish I felt that good but i'm getting there, yay!

 

[sar35]

ive just got a baby massage course sorted, its a drop in so will go there next week as Joe has his tongue tie appt this thurs. Also really dont want to go back to work so im enquiring about being a childminder again! Might be able to wangle another baby too, if im at home any way
Oh is ok now but he pissed me off yesterday by asking me where I was sleeping I said on the sofa as the bedroom is a mess and his clothes are over all surfaces, he said i was weird but I cant get Joes feeds ready up there when there isnt any room, so it got to bed time and he said hes going up now!!! WTF i said you obviously didnt want me in the bedroom that badly as you would of tidied it up, so i was on the sofa again, its been a week now!
I did go to my bed for an hour this morning and it was lovely so I may sleep there tonight as he has tidied his mess.
Got a busy week this week

nice to see you. Jennifer is 4 weeks as well and I still haven't done her brith story, so you aren't the only one

So many of the january jellybeans have loads of hair, I must post a piccy of Jennifer, she's going to need a haircut soon!!!!!

 

[Fraggles]

Some truely beautiful babies ladies.

Well I didnt think my boobs would grow much when milk came in but boy I was wrong. I only stopped breast feeding my eldest about 9 weeks ago but they are huge today going to have to relief myself in the shower later.

 

[hodbert]

Sarah you're going to have to get that man of yours kicked into touch! They say men don't do subtle hints so just bloody tell him to get his shit out of the way girl! You carried a baby for 9 months, gave birth and now slept on the sofa for a week - you deserve your bed back!!!

 

[Disneydancr]

Agreed! How dare he? make HIM sleep on the couch. My OH wouldn't dream of kicking me out of bed- not because of anything I would do, but because he loves me and wants me as comfortable as possible- He was like that during the pregnancy, and even more so now that Madison's here. It's not too much to expect that from your husband. Stand up for yourself- You deserve it!

Anyways, We're doing great- Madison lost her umbilical cord stump sometime during the night or early morning- she's growing up so fast! lol Also, I think she's hit her 1 week growth spurt a day early- I think I've fed her 3 times in the last 2 hours! She's been eating non-stop. I'm not complaining though- all 3 times have been latched on with no problems- latched on like she's been doing this for years. I'm so proud of us! There was a while when I thought that I was done with breastfeeding. it gave me the WORST baby blues because every time I'd try to feed her at the boob, she would not just cry but SCREAM BLOODY MURDER! I can handle crying, but that tortured cry is too much for me. Plus, her Daddy can't stand that scream either- she sounds so traumatized! It made for some really teary nights, so I had given up- just went to pumping and giving her the milk from there. Guess all this goes to show I shouldn't give up- she's now making it so easy! Anyways, she's fussing AGAIN- probably wants MORE to eat, but I have to go tend to her. Have a great day ladies!

 

[hodbert]

Regina glad the bf has gotten better for you!

 

[sar35]

slept in the bed last night, and tbh I was better off on the sofa, i dont know if its the sleeplessness that is making us crabby or what! I wouldnt mind but Joe wakes up twice in the night, its not as if we are awake ALL night or anything i suppose we are just adjusting.
Got copious amounts of EWCM which has a tinge to it, cant describe the colour though, kind of like greeny yellow, and sometimes tinged with blood, dont know if im ovulating or its just the very end of the blood.
Hope you are all ok x

 

[jms895]

I need to find out about baby massage for ALexander, used to love it with Caine.

HV is coming tomorrow, hope he has gained lots of weight! I think he has!

Everyone ok?

I am soo tired today, Alex was up every 2 hours and really fussing plus had 4 nappy changes in the night

 

[sar35]

our baby massage class is a drop in class, found out about childminding today, just gotta book myself on a course

 

[millward329]

Most childrens centres run baby massage Jade, should be one in your local area if you google for it. Hope you get a nap but guess it's not so likely with Caine too.

Hello January mummies. I get to join you earlier than I thought. 20 days before my due date and 15 days before my c-section. And here is the short version of my details......

Well ladies I can't remember whY my last update was and I'm on my phone so don't want to look back. Sorry if I already said some of

I went to hospital Sunday night to get checked out beacause ofcontractions. Dr said o was not dialated at all and only 50% effaced. They sent me home with some pain meds. I continued to have these BH contractions every 2-5 montes All night. At 6am the pain was getting worse and moving into my back. I called hospital and woke OH up and off we went. Ii was so afraid they would say I was still not dialated but I was at 2 so they started setting things up for my section (after trying to convinceme to go natural )

So after 18 hours of labour (I didn't want any labour that's why I chose a repeat section!) my son Quinlan Matthew Stephen (Quinn for short) was born on Monday the 10th (37wk1d) weighing in at 5lbs 3oz.
He only weighs 6 oz more than my daughter was and she stopped growing at 32/34wks. I guess I just have small babies

 

[jms895]

Congratulations Laura xx

Afternoon ladies,

Am shattered Jennifer won't settle for more than an hour in the day or night!!!! Even tried co-sleeping last night and she still wouldn't sleep, a trip in the car didn't work either. Finally fell asleep when Ilet her sleep on her side and I spooned her at 8am. Think I may take her to the Drs tomorrow to make she isn't coming down with something, also think she has thrush again!!!

Anyone else still feel as if the whole parenting thing is a dream and we've gonna wake up soon or someone is going to ask us if they can have their baby back??? Might be the lack of sleep but OH and I still don't feel like this is real.
