Its tough, hahah... I do love it, but last night was SO hard. She cried ALL night, unless I was holding her. And my DH didn't want me holding her all night so he kept putting her in the crib(which I HATE... like I dont think its up to safety standards, apparently its my dhs old crib but no one will listen to me when I say that I don't think its safe )

But today is so far going ok. I find she'll sleep if I put her straight onto a blanket on the floor. So thats good

Anyways... alls good, my mom is coming today She took a bus last night and will be here by tonight. My DH has been so helpful lately... the place is a mess but I don't care at the moment. Cause atleast I got enough sleep for once.
Advice to new moms... ACCEPT help!! Its SO needed especially the first few days. I've heard it'll get better however I don't see that in my future yet I had an embarassing emotional breakdown yesteday at Cassidy's pediatrician appt. Apparently who ever was supposed to bring us to a room didn't get the message so we were waiting for like a good 40 mins... leaving me sitting on my stitches and cassidy crying and fussing because she was hungry (I'm uncomfy nursing in public and also have no nursing clothes ) So a lady finally walks up to us and calls us... and then is appologizing for leaving us waiting.. by this point after only 5 hours sleep in 2 days and everything I start having a meltdown bawling my eyes out.. when I went to stand up I thought I was gonna be sick. It was NOT a good time for me. But anyways.. they got us into a room, and everyone was being so nice.. ended up taking them 2 hours to calm me down. OMG! So embarassing. But they had alot of good advice to get Cassidy to sleep, the pediatrician is like even if you hafta put her beside you on the bed to sleep you can. So thats what I did after her crazy cluster feeding last night.

I think I got 6 hours sleep last night I feel SO rested and good now

 

[Blondiejay]

Aww Ashley, your hormones must still be a little off too. You have done amazingly well, it must be hard to try and get into some kind of routine when everything is so new.

Boxxey. I loved being a blueberry and since then my littl'un has got the nickname Bluebs from it!

All is well this end, my oh's sister and husband were over from Ireland with their 8 week old little girl. OMG I fell in love with her, she is just the most adorable little baby you would ever see. It has all become real for me and I'm ready now. :0)

 

[boxxey]

No my ticker is right my scan was a week ago....im 7weeks and 1 day today

 

[josephine3]

Sorry boxxey i think im the one thats behind lol.

Aww good to hear ur ready susi! Seeing a lil baby does make it seem more real. And scary lol.
Ahhh ashley ur story is so sweet bless ya! Hope u can get a lil sleep tonight. How old is she now, like a week? Is it like u imagined it would be?

 

[samanthax]

well.. well.. well..
hey strangers!
How is everyone? I see 2 people are having a bean! congratulations!
Well as for me. Ill be 12 weeks on friday

I'm pretty stressed as me and keelan both lost our jobs, and now we are on the Job seekers, witch is pretty scary. Me and keelan had our house.. and now we can not afford it.. Witch now come to think about it I'm glad as we don't like the house. But the landlady told us we have to be out in two weeks witch is next tuesday

On a plus side I have a scan next tuesday!
xx

 

[Blondiejay]

Aww congratulations, that's great news!!! So sorry to hear about your jobs, that sucks!! But it seems like you are being really positive about it so fair play!!

Looking forward to seeing your scan!

 

[Blondiejay]

Happy Friday ladies!

This thread seems to have gone all quiet. I hope you are all well.

I'm really good, enjoying this sunshine! I weighed myself and measured my waist last night.... Before pregnancy I was around 8 stone 6lb with a 25 inch waist. Since then I have put on 8lb and 8 inches! I'm trying to eat a good balance of food including treats!! I cannot deny myself chocolate and biscuits!!!

 

[josephine3]

Hey ladies it is all quiet on this thread i think patrice leaving and ashley being occupied with Cassidy has a lot to do with it!
Its lovely weather just wish i had the energy to enjoy it! I wish baby was here now... Its weird the longer i wait i actually get less worried and just sort of indifferent and impatient! I know i shouldnt moan as im not overdue yet but.... Argh!

 

[AC1987]

Wheres Hayley? shes gone too!
I go on here once a day sometimes more. But then I don't really know what to say anymore... cause I'm not symptom spotting. I really hope you guys have your babies soon so we can all blab about baby stuff together.
Oh well atleast this way you guys can ask me if something is normal and since I've been through it I can let you know my experience on things.
If anyones planning on breastfeeding... gotta say the first week is HORRID. My nipples have FINALLY healed however the first latch I hafta grit my teeth.
I have SO much milk now I feel like a cow it sprays my baby in the face as shes trying to latch. And soaks through breast pads, bra, tank top, shirt. Everything gets covered in milk!!!

 

[boxxey]

sorry Ladies..........i just feel like crap, I feel like i was out on a drinking binge with out the drinking of course...sort of a let down lol if i am going to feel hungover 24/7 i would at least like the fun of the drunk first lol.....i'm almost 8 weeks my dr has been on holidays for 2 weeks so i havent seen the ob yet or had bloods drawn, but i had a scan so i know that all is ok........just wish i didnt feel so horrible

 

[Blondiejay]

Jo, I bet you just want to see the baby now you're so close. The weather has been beautiful hasn't it. At lunch I walked over to Hyde Park (I work next to it) to watch a bit of the mean swimming in the Olympics, what a great atmosphere!

Ashley, How are you feeling now? I'm hoping to breastfeed but not looking forward to the sore nips!!

Boxxey, Sorry you're feeling poorly. You should start to feel normal once you hit second trimester. It's amazing at how different you feel.

 

[skyraaa]
