Thanks for reading the birth story guys! Ashley now georgia is cluster feeding its rather annoying when she wants it every 15 mins. cant believe ur mum threw away ur milk, why did she do that did u ask her? Why did u start pumping btw?
Hayley sorry ur overdue i bet ur fed up now. I just say enjoy it while u can i wish i had enjoyed and appreciated the sleep more!
Also if its the same for hayley as i think it is for us all in uk they start talking about induction when ur 14 days overdue.

Morning,
What a manic day at work already!!
14 days!! That's loads, my mum drank castor oil with me one evening and the next morning I arrived after a 2 hour labour!!

Here's a pic of my bump at 27 weeks...

Jo I started pumping so that I could sleep at night well for part of it, that way I can miss out on a feeding however engorgement still wakes me omg cluster feeding drives me crazy sometimes!! its like I feel like I can never satisfy her. So then my mom told me that I'm not producing enough milk so she bought formula and gave her an ounce and it actually put her to sleep. Also my mom told me that my baby needs DHA since I don't eat fish they apparently put that in formula.
Well when my mom leaves I won't be using formula

Awww susi you look so good

 

[Blondiejay]

Thank you x

any one with 2 kids or more?

i have a question.

when you had your 2nd one did it seem like your first calmed down a bit to help? i ask because my son is a nut right now going thru the no phase and terrible 2s but when he is around babies and other kids he behaves very well and with babies he wants to help all the time and be like a "big brother" its really sweet to watch...but ijust think maybe he is lonely and needs someone to play with.

any one experience that?

I always thought that having Reece who is now 2 would calm my eldest down (way to be 5) and it did for a while but now that Reece is older they are both as nuts as one another lol. They love each other to bits but can also fight like cat and dog. Now that im 2 weeks away from my due date im hoping this wee man will calm both of them down lol. Jacks at school now and Reece absolutly adores babies. I think as long as you keep them as involved as possible it helps to calm them down a bit as I know my 2 will like to think they are helping their brother out rather than me.Just gonna phrase everything like "Can you do this for Jamie pls" Can u get this for Jamie pls" Let them help with bath times etc.

I suppose though that every kid is different but im guessing that if he loves babies already then he should be a good help for you. Fingers crossed lol xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hahah boys will be boys lol and yes that is how i visioned my life if i had 2 kids it would calm them down for a while then when the youngest got older they would both be nuts and then life would go on from there...thanks for you input. i really cant believe you are almost at your due date to me it really seems liek your pregnancy flew by! congratulations tho you almost to the finish line for the 3rd time it should be exciting good luck and hope you have a smooth and easy labor

Happy Friday!

Hayley, any news yet????

How are you all? I'm really well, nothing much to report really. I have my 28 week appointment with the midwife next Thursday where she will be giving me my anti D injection as I have rhesus negative blood and she will also be doing the glucose test too. I hate needles!!

 

[AC1987]

Hayley has news but I will let her post


omg went for cassidys one month appt at the pediatricians, shes now 7lbs10oz!!! thats like 2 pounds in what 2 or 3 weeks?! So apparently she IS getting enough breastmilk

 

[Blondiejay]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wow brilliant! I really hope I can breast feed, but I'm going to buy some bottles at the weekend just in case and also hold off buying a breastpump until after the baby is born.

 

[boxxey]

News?????????? I like news

 

[hello_kitty]

Cant wait to hear Hayley's news!

I will be having an appointment with my ob next Thursday. I will be 23.5 weeks then. I dont know when they will do the glucose test but I am dreading it since he already diagnosed me with diabetes at the start of my pregnancy. Strangely, I dont feel like a diabetic at all. I wonder if there was some sort of error because I keep monitoring my blood sugar with the glucometer and still eating all the things that I want, and yet my blood sugar always stays within normal range.

Today is my last day of babysitting my nephew and the past week has not been a very good experience. Maybe its my pregnancy hormones, but I have been so irritated towards my nephew almost everyday. I get tired really easily and have to cook and feed him, yet he doesnt even bother to say thank you. When I try talking to him, I have to ask him twice, seems like he doesnt want to talk to me. Yet, he gets along with my husband. I tried expressing my frustration to my husband but he keeps defending my nephew, you would think its his own nephew. As a result, I didnt even cook last night for my hubby and went to bed mad. Its frustrating when no one understands what I am going through. I was so excited to be having a boy but now my excitement has went down a little from the experience with my nephew. Sorry to vent about this, I just dont know who I can talk to.

I have also noticed that a few of our women are not on here as often. Where have Sam and Patrice went?

 

[josephine3]

Omg ashley u cant do that to us lol. Hayley we want news!!
