Lucky thread

[baileybubs]

Funny you should say that actually coz the woman from sure start came for a visit today and went through what the children's centre offers and put me on the waiting list for baby massage and kindermusik (which sounds like an overly excited lady getting you to move along with music with baby lol). But there's a newborn babies group every Monday that I think I'm gonna start going to but can't next week coz a) it's my 30th birthday next Monday and apparently df has it all planned and a surprise (!) and b) it's bank holiday so there's no session next week lol!! It looks really good though, the next session is child safety and the one after is messy play and Father's Day card making.

Yeah she can go up to 9-10 hours without a feed now overnight, she's so good. She then feeds every 3-4 hours during the day so has about 5 feeds a day. I'm pretty sure I am blessed with a brilliant child now and my next will be much more challenging! My mum said I was just like this, I was great but my brother didn't sleep a whole night through til he was 4!

Hi mrs d

 

[CherylC3]

Yeah cupcake for organising ur mat leave

Bailey I so jealous how much is Millie taking each feed?x

Hey mrs d how u doin?x

Well I was so looking forward to my night in with hubby as he's off tomoro and I thot we wud hav some cuddles but nope we bickered all night about Leo not settling and he's still awake and hubby has went to bed cos he's doin the feed during the night so I'm sat here in my nice new Jammies on my tod feeling sorry for myself I don't think hubby realises being home all day with a baby is hard... And it's nice to get company especially after having a baby it wud be nice for him to pay me a little attention. Sorry for the rant prob just my hormones.xx

You truly are blessed! I hope im that lucky I'm so worried about lack of sleep I don't do well on it!

Aw lots of groups sounds fun! Defo get out and make some mummy friends!

 

[baileybubs]

Aw Hun I don't blame you, it doesn't sound like your dh is being very fair. How long does it take to do Leo's feed during the night and settle him again? Does he wake more than once?
I'm always bickering with df about settling Emilia coz he keeps jumping straight to her when she cries (even when it's just a little whine) and I think that's why she doesn't settle sometimes. She cries sometimes with me in the evening and I've found if I leave her 5 mins most of the time she settles back to sleep. If she continues after 5 mins I pick her up and try to settle her.

She's having about 20 ounces a day Cheryl. Sometimes a little more or less, depending how much she sleeps during the day.

 

[baileybubs]

I know I can't believe how lucky I am cupcake but I'm sure I'll get my comeuppance when she's older or with one of our future babies lol!!

 

[CherylC3]

Aw I kno Leo normally feeds at 11 then I hear him at 2.30 but its just him making noises wakes up at 4 for a feed and can be settled for 5.. Dh let's le scream and tht drives me mad.. I was pissed off with him sat night we went to my uncles for his 50th hubby said we are only staying an hr as soon as we got there he went into the kitchen I was left with Leo trying to settle him he was screaming and hubby was pissed off when I said can we go after 2 hrs its as if he can't be arsed with him and it really annoys me.x

 

[baileybubs]

That's what happened with me and df at that BBQ the other week. He's quite happy to show her off like a proud daddy but then he left me with her (after unsettling her by passing her around everywhere) and just played games with his brother and the twins the whole time. Then he did the same at his parents last weekend, just played on the wii with the boys and left me with Emilia. I love her to bits and I don't mind having her but like you said, sometimes it's as if df can't be bothered with her. I asked him if he finds her boring, he said no but I think that's what it is, coz she's so young he can't play with her or get any kind if response from her. I think it's a man thing. So what I've started doing is nipping out and doing errands etc when he's on his break from work so that he has to spend time with her and he's become more interested.

 

[CherylC3]

See I'd be worried hubby wud just leave him in his bouncy chair and not pay him any attention. U exited about ur 30th Hun?x

 

[CherylC3]

How's Tawn getting on? How's wee maddie doin? Has she updated on fb?x

 

[baileybubs]

No I'm not really lol, I think coz I'm worried about what df has planned. I'm worried he won't have invited people if its a meal or something, or that his plan is something boring that I won't like lol!! He has given his mum some money to pay for whatever he's got me or got planned, but I don't think it was that much really. I'm not very good at hiding my disappointed face lol!! And it's terrible that I think this of df isn't it? But he's not had the best history of birthday presents etc lol. He once bought me a hummingbird necklace coz he used to call me his hummingbird, but then I found out he used to call this slag at work the same thing (think he used to fancy her) so it became the worst present ever lol!!

 

[baileybubs]

No she's barely been on facebook. I saw she posted a thread on the baby club about Maddie crying every time she's put down for a sleep and Tawn not being able to get any sleep. Poor thing I think she's just so busy and too tired to update.

 

[CherylC3]

Aw Hun hopefully it's something nice then. X

 

[baileybubs]

I'm sure it will be, I know whatever it is people are invited coz they have all stopped asking me what I'm doing, but then my mum asked me what I was doing yesterday so I'll be really annoyed if he's not invited my parents. But then it could have just been my mum trying to throw me off.

 

[AmyB1978]

Bailey, hope you end up having a fab birthday! Glad Millie is sleeping so well and you're feeling better!

Cupcake, yay.for countdown to leave! Especially since you love your job so much! have they done anything about your work chair?

Cheryl, sorry you are feeling lonely and that you and DH had a fight... Having a baby changes everything, that's for sure! I think the lack of interest thing is just an age thing, at least it seems like it might be.

MrsD, how's work? How's you?

Emily's congestion finally seems better (knock on wood I don't jinx it!) as for allergies we will just wait and see... Alot of people who live whee we do have problems with the pollens and mods, including DH and I. She's been up a lot and nursing a lot lately, I'm thinking a growth spurt! Her 4 month well baby visit is Friday.. More vaccines and I have some questions and concerns to go over with her Dr. I can't believe she's almost 4 months, I can't wait to see her weight/length at her appointment.

Hope you are all well, I am soo sleepy but am up nursing Emily, hopefully back to sleep soon.

 

[MrsDuck]

Bailey I'm sure df will have planned something lovely for your 30th x

4 months already wow and I'm glad her congestion is better

Cheryl I'm sorry you are having a tough time with hubby at the moment

Is anyone doing anything nice today?

Afm I've got a long week at work this week, all of my appointments are after working hours, every night this week, I really struggled last night so by the weekend I'm going to be pooped

 

[CherylC3]

Aw poor Tawn she was planning to go back to work straight away too..x

Aw bailey I'm sure ur parents will be invited Hun... X

Aw mrs d you will be shattered Hun.. U can just chill at the weekend then x

Amy so glad Emily is better Hun..x

Well I slept on the air bed in the spare room and hubby came in thru the night to apologise and naughty cuddles and this time I remembered a condom but hubby said aw just leave it so I thot he wasn't wanting to finish but he did I'm very annoyed the sooner I get on the pill the better I did an OPK and there was a faint line so I'm hoping il be ok. I said il need to strap condoms onto me from now on. X

 

[AmyB1978]

MrsD, rest up when you get home at night, other things can wait, and make sure you get lots of rest this weekend.

Cheryl, you definitely need to get on the pill, unless you are okay with two so lose together. Stupid DH! If he's feeling out of sorts now does he not think how out of sorts he will feel if there's a surprise baby?!?

 

[CherylC3]

Aw I kno, I'm just so worried to fall pg cos of the section and if we had anither I want a 2 or 3 yr age gap. I'm going to the drs tues for my 6 wk check and to get the pill. X

 

[AmyB1978]

Understandably! Isn't it weird, after wanting a BFP and a rainbow for so long to be worried about getting preggo!
