What's everyone been up to today then? The sun has come out here finally!

Went and got the pram priced up and tried it in my car, didnt order it yet tho. I kinda wanna have a play with your one Cheryl but they don't have one in the shop at the moment for a couple of weeks, and in the meantime I'm running out of time to get the order for the iCandy in if thats what i want as it takes months......dilemma.

Went out with my mum to and she bought us a 10 pc started pack from m&s with onesies, bodies and a hat and booties in white and blue Stars and Stripes, sooooo sweet

Aw wots the latest with Tawn?x

Amy how was ur first day at work Hun.. Not sure of the time difference from UK to yours..x

Bailey 7 hrs amazing wots ur secret?x

Cupcake aw I bet it was nice buying things in blue missy.. Aw our pram only took 10 wks to come in..x

Mrs d hope ur fit flops work I always fancied a pair of them..x

Well it was nice going for lunch but think it wud of been better just going to my mums house to go for a sleep lol cos we're both shattered..x

 

[cupcake1981]

Haha can you take it in turns this weekend so one if you gets up with Leo tonight and the other tomorrow, so you both get a decent nights sleep?

Tawn was sent home from the hospital she didnt say what dilation she was but think she's doing ok at home for now x

 

[CherylC3]

Aw we do take turns but if hubby's doing it and Leo's screaming I always get up and vice versa lol..x

Aw has she I hope she's back there sn. X

Think my good luck with Millie sleeping so long last night had consequences! She hadn't stopped crying since 5pm! Every time I put her down she woke up again and just started crying! Managed to have some soup briefly in between her crying!

Glad you enjoyed lunch Cheryl, I like your idea of someone looking after Leo so you can sleep, would be tempted to do that myself with Millie lol! Would be so nice to have a sleep with df and not have to worry about her being ok. I feel like I'm constantly listening out for her so I never really sleep properly lol!

Cupcake - hmmm that's a dilemma, how long does the other take to order?

I'm really being a geek today, not only is it Star Wars day but Star Trek (the latest movie) is on tv yay!!! Make it so!

 

[cupcake1981]

Aw bailey has she calmed down yet? Do you think it's just colic still?

Hmmm I think the other one is about 10 weeks to order like Cheryl said, it'll defo be my 2nd choice (that ill be totally happy to have) if I miss out on the iCandy.

Just been out for Chinese buffet with hubs, making the most of not needing a baby sitter while we can lol. My back has been so sore and I've been a bit crampy for the last few hours so gonna go to bed I think! x

Cupcake I've an icandy but I'm eyeing up the pink bugaboo now. Can't buy yet though.

Cath I only read one bit of comments but the fertility monitor can take a few cycles to sync with you and be correct. I wouldn't trust it just yet x

 

[baileybubs]

Hope you manage to get some rest cupcake.

Millie is fast asleep now and letting her mummy watch Star Trek, she's a good girl!

Oooh Chinese buffet sounds awesome, I love Chinese buffet coz then I can eat loads of starters like spring rolls and seaweed and salt and pepper wings mmmmm, I'm making myself hungry now lol!!

[CherylC3]

Hey ladies how are u doing?x

Cupcake ur Chinese sounded yummy we went for an Indian yest but god my tummy was dodgy after it

Bailey aw sorry Millie was playing up hun at least she settled and u got to watch star trek.x

Hey dani how u doin Hun?x

Leo slept last night at his awkward time but we paid for it at half 10 when we fed him and tried to get him down or bed he screamed we argued we fell asleep.. I got up at half 4 and the same happened again... I was really annoyed with dh tho cos he was sayin at least ur sleeping thru the night but yest he didn't change one nappy or do one feed so I think I'm entitled to sleep thru and him to se to him as he's still on mat leave... Sorry for the rant..x

Cheryl, big

MrsD, cath, and others with weekend plans, hope you had a great time!

Bailey, how is Millie and how's the family visit going?

Cupcake, nice you got to play with the prams (funny how things have different names!) I am so excited for you! Have you been shopping for anything else just yet? What are you going to do about te nursery since you might be moving before he comes? How's your back and worries?

Tawn, come on Maddie! You guys are in my thoughts, can't wait for you to hold your girl!

Also wanted to update for you, Cheryl,, tawn is in hospital, 3-4 cm on her own (after 30 some hours of contracting every 3-4 min!) and as soon as there is a room they will break her waters, so baby Maddie s on her way!

I survived my first day back with little tears but I think I was just functioning cause once I got home I had a bit of a cry. Yesterday is also, horrible timing, the day we lost our angel AND Emily seems to be sick again, slight slight temp and just acting like she feels worse, not better, AND I have definitely caught her bug, or something else and feel horrible so just lots going on! I think today is going to be cuddle on te couch day fr us sick girls, hopefully she cooperates!

I think DH realizes a bit more what it is like with her now, the poor things... She slept only about 40 minutes te entire time I was gone and, I guess, cried te first 3 hours and fussed practically the entire time. She dd take her bottles ok though thankfully! DH seemed surprised he didn't get any homework done, I was surprised he thought he'd be able to! He is good about it though, in general, and doesn't imply I sit around all day... In fact last night when I was having a sick, tired, hormonal moment he was saying I can let him help more (by talking to him when I'm upset, by asking him to do things, etc) and I said " but you work all day" and he said "so do you." He's a good one!

 

[CherylC3]

Aw thts great about Tawn hoping it goes ok for her..cx

Amy I'm glad ur day back was ok Hun.. Yeah ur dh will realise now how hard work it is sorry Emily's sick again and I hope u feel better sn..x

 

[baileybubs]

Afternoon ladies!

Cheryl I think it's easy for the men to forget that we have just been through quite a physically draining experience, not only have we been pregnant for 9 months but then our bodies have gone through the trauma if giving birth (and in our case major surgery). We should be far more tired right now than they are, and the purpose of paternity leave is for them to look after us women as well! I had a bit of a cry at df coz of that, I think explaining to him in terms of other surgery to see if that helped him understand, I said "how would you treat someone who has just been in hospital for a major operation such as a transplant? Wouldn't you insist that they rest as much as possible and not do anything?" He said yes so I asked him to try and remember that my recovery was no different and I needed more help and be able to get sleep whilst he was off.

Amy oh no I hope Emily's fever doesn't come back!! I'm glad your dh realises what it's like being alone with a baby all day too, it's amazing how quickly time passes and you seem to have not been able to do anything except look after baby!
Well done for getting through the day, it must have been very tough for you. Have a nice relaxing day of cuddles on the sofa today.

Afm family visit is going great, got my great Aunty and my mum coming up later with my aunt and her husband again (they came yesterday too). They got me a Peter Rabbit First Baby Book and I'm so happy coz I love Peter Rabbit so much!!

And sorry on the tmi here, but movicol works wonders, it doesn't hurt half as much when I poop lol!!

 

[AmyB1978]

Bailey, glad the meds are working and your bum isn't hurting so much! Especially since the medicine tastes so bad, at least it works!

 

[baileybubs]

I know, it makes it easier to drink it knowing its actually working lol!!

 

[CherylC3]

Aw I kno bailey I shud of said tht to him.. The gd thing is we argue when Leo is screaming and as soon as he's settled it's as if we never had a crossed word so I guess thts a gd thing.. We're going to try and keep Leo up today after each feed to see if this helps him sleep later.. I can't wait till he can go 6 hours thru the night the longest he goes is 4 the now.. I'm glad it's easier for u to poop Hun.. Nothing worse when ur struggling to go.x

Amy enjoy ur cuddles Hun... Wot weight it wee Emily now? Leo's getting weighed on tues can't wait to see wot he is..x
