January JellyBean mummies

[LuckyStarr]

Lotsa lostunicorn.

We survived our 1st journey out together BF clinic was awesome. I'll be going every week now. It was great to talk to other mummies and see all the babies. I go t some good advice and reassurance which was much needed!!

I also find it hard to get on here. I really try to sleep when kieran sleeps so I seem to have very little time left in the day.

Congrats on surviving your first journey out!

jojo-m I'm the same Jennifer hates not being on me!!!

Lovealittle1 Jennifer does the screaming crying pushing herself on thing as well, it does get better. I find having a hand either side of my boob works well and also stroking her hair.

Thing here are ok, we have had a busy week with rhymetime, visiting work, BFclinic, lunch with a friend and shopping in town. I feed in public for the first time yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, my friend was with me though. Don't think I'd feel confident doing it on my own but mothercare have a breatsfeeding room so that's ok Just need to find a loo that I can fit her pram into now!!!!!

I phoned my health visitor today to say I think I have the beginnings of PND, I am gutted, I so wanted to prove them wrong, that just because I have a MH diagnosis doesn't mean I'll get it. Last night I just fell apart. I felt so angry with Jennifer and Dave and then so guilty for feeling angry. The HV is going to phone on Mon and will come to see me on Wed. I feel like such a failure

Hope everyone else is good x

I think you sound to be doing amazing, I am too nervous to go to any baby groups at the moment.

I think I must be going crazy... Me and hubby have always said that we would only have one baby but the thought of not being pregnant again brings tears to my eyes! I want to be pregnant again... I really am bonkers x x

Joe is handsome, sar. My baby sleeps a lot also. She's usually only completely awake for a couple of hours in the morning and maybe three hours in the evening. But that doesn't count the feedings every three or so hours.

Lovealittle, a clinic to get out once a week sounds awesome. With all the snow in the Northeastern US, I'm getting out very little. Can't take the baby out in freezing temperatures and snowy conditions. My son has had 2 snow days and a delayed opening this week. At this rate we're going to run out of snow days.

Lostunicorn, I felt a little off for the first while also. I think it's all the hormonal changes and exhaustion.


My husband keeps saying this is our last child. We have an 11 year old son. I'm not so ready to say I'll never be pregnant again or have a newborn.

Izzie is definatly on a growth spurt at the moment she is very sleepy and eating like a machine! She is going to end up a little fatty! Lol x

 

[sar35]

how much does she weigh now?

 

[jms895]

Alexander is sleepy today too! He gets weighed Monday I think he will be about 8 pound 10 oz

I read they have a growth spurt at about 1 week, 3 week and a biggy at 6 week. I remember Caine;s 6 week, he didnt sleep much but fed EVERY hour for 2 days I was whacked! So be prepared breast feeders

I think they either eat or sleep alot for a spurt!

She is only up to 8lb 2 oz but she went down to 7 lb after she was born. That was when the HV weighed her yesterday, she must have put that on again during the night she had 9oz of milk in 2 hours then all her normal feeds too!

[LuckyStarr]

Wow a 19 year old daughter that sounds useful. I had a bath with Izzie and my mum came in and took her from me to dry her off while I had a soak. I have lost all bashfulness with my mum since labour! Sooo glad I went to mums for tea.

I tried izzie in her big girl pram and she loved it so we are all ready to go for the show tomorrow. She fell asleep straight away! While the washer was on a spin cycle
