Junebugs 2010

[-Linn-]

just went to bank and set up an account and direct debit Lili.. OH did it though, sorry guess I'm not much help. Found that bear at argos for £25 instead of £35 like at M&P so might get one soon!

I hope it will be less hot tomorrow... BF is unbearable in this heat!!

Congrats June mummys!!
Thought I'd update in here. Elsie was born 7th June at 1.21am weighing 5lbs 10.5oz.
She went down to 5lbs 5oz a week later and today (3 weeks after she was born, and 2 weeks after she was last weighed) she is 6lbs 5oz!!
She is only being fed breast milk, but mainly in a bottle as we're still having issues with latching and feeding in general. My HV has arranged for me and Elsie to see a lactation specialist tomorrow so hopefully it will help a little bit

congrats tannembaum, our LOs got the same birthday.. mine was 6lbs14 though. Hope you can get her to latch properly, my friend had that problem with her LO so she cupfed for a month so he wouldn't get used to the bottle and then he finally just latched on one day, good luck!! I wanted to express at first as I don't feel so confident about nursing in public but I have done it a few times now and it's ok.. I am getting the hang off how to do it without anything being on show now too!!

 

[E&L's mummy]

Thank you! Congrats on your LO.
We tried to cup feed in the hospital but she wasn't keen, it used to take her over an hour to drink 35mls!!
lol I no longer have any shame!! Two days ago Elsie latched on good and proper (she fed for 3 hours!) someone knocked on the door and I had to answer with her on the boob! Elsie will only feed when held under arm so everything was on show!! lol!!

 

[-Linn-]

haha Tannembaum that's funny! I did that too this morning and it was the Jehovas witnesses lol.. I just said I'm busy and pointed at E and they were like oh... but there wasn't anything much on show, made them leave though lol

Sounds good that she latched on already, fingers crossed it will get easier, and well done you for persevering, I would have quit if my baby didn't latch so nicely! Now I am happily breastfeeding and glad I didn't give up after the first couple of days!

E&L hope you will get that move all done and settle in nicely to be back with us more often

 

[lili24]

HV has been and gone now She didn't say much just asked how I am coping and whether I feel weepy or miserable? She always comments on how tidy my house is which I just find weird, like she expects all new mums to live like tramps or something lol!

LOL at opening the door with boobs out!!!

 

[-Linn-]

Lili noone will say that about my house!!

 

[E&L's mummy]

my house looks like a bombhas gone off in it....boxes everywhere. oh and a mother in law and all the crap that comes with her too. sorry just feeling a little invaded tonight.

Lili....CTF...i just did it thru the bank. think its a Lloyds tsb and childrens mutual one. but the girls have savings accounts too for birthday money etc.


had a weird idea tonight that i was thinkng of running past you ladies....... now all the babies are here, for our little buddy gang anyway, i was wondering about having a little virtual get together one evening. we could all sit down with a drinkie and nibbles and have a good old natter for an hour or so one evening. what do you think???? would be nice to catch up properly and celebrate or little ones safe arrival.

Heres a few pics of wee Frank who was born 14.6.10 by elective section and weighed 9lb 7oz

 

[lili24]

Linn you're funny

E&L I think that's a fabby idea! xx

Frank is lovely! Congratulations xx

 

[aliss]

I can't wait for July, this has been the best and worse month of my life. I love my LO but his horrid screaming 24/7 is really shattering my nerves. He has an ear infection now but it will take days for it to start helping. Tylenol does nothing to ease the pain. He was born with a fracture so we just got over that screaming to have this begin. I have not slept 1 hour per night (no exaggeration) since June 5. Actually starting to go insane

 

[AshleyKeil]

my baby was born june 22nd! keaton marie

 

[-Linn-]

I think thats a goo idea E&L!!

Lili I definitely need such a bear.. baby will never sleep during play group so I end up feeding or holding her on the couch and would much rather play with DD1!! As soon as we get out of the group she sleeps for hrs in her pram.. aaaaaahhhh! Did you have a better night with Layla? I did... still hot and tired but baby didn't wake so often!

Aliss so sorry that sounds so tiring, I been through the same with DD1, try to lie down whenever he is asleep hun, in the meantime I wish you some strong nerves, even if it's hard to believe, it will get better!!!

Congrats inic and ashley!!

 

[Adrasteia]

Hi June ladies!

Congratulations on the birth of your little ones! It seems not that long ago I was waving a BFP around in front of my fiance's face lol.

Emma could you please add me and Isabella Rose to the list. She was born on 13.06.2010.

Its two weeks on and I still can't believe I have a daughter.

Big hugs to everyone!

Amy x

 

[lili24]

Congratulations AshleyKeil and Adrasteia!

Aliss that sounds awful Is there anyone who can look after little one for a couple of hours to give you a break so you can have a little sleep? I really hope it will get better for you soon. Im sure it will but I bet it doesnt feel like it right now. Hope the ear infection clears quickly xxx

Linn it was better last night, much cooler! We went to bed at 11 then she woke at 3:30, 7:30 and then 10am. I had my postnatal check this morning, what a load of crap that was, but at least I got the pill. I hate having to worry about contraception again, but it's better than getting pregnant again!

Has anyone heard from CJ?

xx

 

[Delilah]

Hello ladies - I'm officially here now!!!!!! E&L sounds like a fab idea we should sort it out definitely. I emailed CJ last week when I was scared about the induction but dont think I've had a reply from her she was going for her grandmother's memorial service though so may be away.

I had a 20 hour labour and Nathan is perfect, he is only 1 day and 10 hours old now but OMG he is is one hungry baby - I was in tears last night trying to stop him crying - and he is LOUD, I am in a communal ward with 3 other women and he cried and cried and cried ALL night - he has a fair pair of lungs on him. Anyway they told me to try to top him up with formula via a srynge because I dont have enough breast milk to feed him with the colostrum unitl the proper milk comes in which is why he is crying so much. I've done this after breastfeeding twice now and it seems to have settled him so fingers crossed! And girls none of you told me about that nappy!!!! Poor little sod, last night I had to wipe poo out of his armpits, toes etc gross!!!!

Linn I'm not sure why but I have not had your texts hon, I'm sorry I had texted you the other day but hadnt heard so knew I had to check your mobile number. I have had so many lovely messages by text and email and on facebook, we are so blessed to have you all as friends ))))

Nathan is currently sleeping on Paul's chest and I'm pulling together a proposal for someone lol - feel fine though no pain with CS scar until I move how I shouldnt but I'm not taking painkillers for it so am aware as soon as I start to hurt and stop.

So happy to have shared the pregnancy with all my super special bump buddies and the other ladies who have come on board more recently who I have got close too and look forward to the next stages we all have to come with our babies.

Mxxxxx

Hey guys, can you add me?

Evelyn Rose - 21st of June

Congrats Delilah!!

BTW, how much milk is everyone's bubba taking? Bean is just over a week old now and I'm expressing breast milk to give her at night - people are saying she should only be taking 2oz, but she's happily taking 3-4oz and only then will she settle for the night - two nights ago she had 3oz and slept 2am til 6am, next night she had 2oz and was up every 45 mins to an hour...last night she had 3-4oz (DH fed her, so not entirely sure how much exactly) and slept from 2am til 7am!!!!!!!! I mean, obviously 2oz isn't satisfying her, but getting up to 4oz at this point seems a bit much!

xx

 

[-Linn-]

Delilah to you I feel for you.. DD1 wouldnt stop crying at the hospital.. it will get better and your milk should come in very soon. Can you ask for a private room? I had one both times, at my hospital they're for cesarians and complicated births but I had one this time anyway as the private rooms were empty that day!! Aaaah how annoying I texted you a few times!! I got your texts this time, also the one that said you were in labour!

the meconium nappy! mine passed it in 4 nappies so there was no mess which is why I didn't tell you, but it is nothing compared to how his poo will be soon, so don't worry!!

and stop working lol.. but that's how we all know you

can you send me a picture message with a pic of him? xxx
