...katie...????????????????????

[Menelly]

Nope, I'm 5 foot 7 and Colin is 6 foot 1, so not exceptionally tall

you're a foot and an inch taller than me...

You're 4'6"? Really???

 

[Menelly]

Nah, Katie, I consider 5'7 tall for a woman, from what Ive researched 5'4 is now average for women, whereas 5'6 used to be 0.o so maybe we're getting shorter in the us? IM AVERAGE BUT BARELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the tall one. 5'9" here.

 

[Menelly]

Hey everyone!

i'm fucking exhausted. i miss you all terribly. I'm home now, and have three days off, so I will be here a little more =)

goodnight everyone!

We miss you too! Thread got too quiet with you gone.

 

[Menelly]

Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me.

Guess what?

Evacuation time.

Wow, really? Sucks to be you today.

For the record, you shorties? My 14 year old is 5'11".

 

[Emerald87]

Hahahaha I still don't feel like a midget in comparison to some others...

 

[Emerald87]

I need to wee again but I don't want to get up. But then again she's kicking me in the bladder. Ack. BRB

 

[milf2be]

Well this one is especially for preparation for childbirth. However Colin likes to inform me that there are also sex toys that have a similar action. I am NOT pleased with him and nor will he be helping me prepare my perineum anymore. Hmph.

Hey Carly, I read on another thread you're an ex-MW. Does that help or hinder the pregnancy journey?

it was good and bad in different ways. it meant that people didnt bother explaining things to me, even though when its you thats going through it, all the medical stuff goes out your head! i also found some staff were a bit wary.

it was lovely when i was in labour and all my friends came to see me. i also had a friend deliver the baby it was one of her first deliveries, i was so excited for her (once the pain was over anyway )

when i got admitted to hospital for pre eclampsia, i was terrifed. i certainly knew too much about that. eclamptic fits were my worst nightmare and i was so scared my pre eclampsia would get worse whilst i was waiting to be induced.



update of the awkward grandparents: OH told FIL yesterday and FIL said he would THINK about coming. he said "he had standards" yes thats right, he has STANDARDS. he cant come to his grandsons party because apparently out standards are too low because we are inviting mil's parents. oh said what about when me or sil get married? his reply was well you are going to have to decide who is more important and who you want to be at your wedding. OH told him to grow up and he wasnt uninviting them and if he didnt want to come because of them then thats his problem.

i swear if he doesnt come all hell will break loose

 

[Emerald87]

That's screwed up. I'm sorry your family is doing this to you. I'm lucky enough that my Mum and Dad (who live a LONG way apart) are very civil when they come in close proximity.

Seriously, he has to get his priorities straight. At some point in the past he was involved with that half of the family and he can frikkin do it again. Grrrr.

Yeh I'm finding medicine being a huge hindrance. I'm worried about everything. And I have an irritable uterus and my BHs have been particularly frequent and a bit on the painful side this weekend; I hate knowing what can happen. I want to live in ignorant bliss.

 

[Emerald87]

Early night. Exams in 2 days. Night ladies.

worst thing they did to me was put me on neonatal for 5 weeks when i was 23 weeks pregnant. seeing the little babies at 23/24/25/26 weeks struggle was horrible

 

[Emerald87]

That would be so painful If I go in, I don't want to be on that ward. For one, I'd get too clucky and secondly I'd be so jealous like you as I lay there praying bubs holds on

 

[Emerald87]

On a different note, I expressed my first tiny itty bitty smigen of milk tonight!! Woot woot!!

 

[ashiozz]

!!!!!!! YAY for squirty boobs.


Tyler slept well last night, I Thought he had woken up for food in one of my posts, no, he was just crying in his sleep, but this time it was more of a normal cry in his sleep type and not "OMG I HURT SOMEONE SAVE ME" crying in his sleep. Thank goodness.. Anyhow.. So he fell asleep at 8pm last night and stayed asleep til 3:15AM .. I fed him.. he went back to sleep until 9am 0.o ... I reallllllllllly hope this keeps up, that was AWESOME sleep.

I meant Colin damnit!!! lol, once again, soy una idiota.

 

[ashiozz]

lmao.. the thought of a 4'6 adult who hasnt disclosed being a little person to me was funny... but ifigured you either did math wrong or meant Colin.

0.o my baby is now cranky..

 

[..katie..]

oh my god, i'm....relaxing!!!! it's 11:30 and i'm not panicking about getting ready for work, I put patrick down for a nap, I contemplated writing 16 and Pregnant and telling them they're ruining my life, I took pictures.....aaaaaaahhhhh =) soon, i'll shower!


so confession...

Patrick is less than two months old. He's eating rice cereal in his bottles and with a spoon (im using the spoon, obviously...)...buuut he's also eating applesauce and pears.

yeaaaahhhhhh... I should post that in babyclub. But he's doing really well...his poo is nice, he isnt gassy, he focuses on the spoon and opens his mouth when it comes to him. He got all excited with the pears =) grinning and kicking his legs, then holding really still when I scooped more up.

I sometimes fear he's too advanced for his age, know what I mean? Like i'm really worried that next month he'll be crawling and shit.

Oh well. I'm proud of my smart boy. I wish he was chunkier lol.

 

[ashiozz]

Holy crap! Hes eating solids already? (or rather starting) 0.o

Tyler doesnt eat as much or as often as PAtrick, and hes still a chunk as usual but i don't think he'll be into eating real food yet in the next couple of weeks..

However, we like to have tyler help pull himself upward from a lay down position and we give him a lot of tummy time and things like that, Im trying to work out his muscles.. last night mitch and i were holding him in a standing type position and we noticed he can put almost all of his weight on his legs. SCARY.. SCARRRRYYY.. My son will crawl soon I know it, and it makes me sad

 

[..katie..]

do babymush foods count as solids? if so, yes. if not, no.
patrick can stand too, but he has absolutely no balance. those little legs will hold him up forever and ever though.

Any ideas on how to get them to use their arms in the lifting-of-the-torso process?

 

[ashiozz]

tyler does use his arms to lift his torso, but he cant move them to move himself yet.. uhm he learned it cuz i lay him on his tummy on my chest sometimes to relax him, but if hes wide awake he'll put his arms out so that theyre pushing on me and he lifts his top half and his head up from there, IDK if that'll help Patrick, maybe showing him while hes on his tummy? I tried to show tyler the army crawl by moving his limbs for him last night, lmao
