Lucky thread

It's not showing me it properly cupcake, don't know why!

I know what you mean about in laws. I feel like everything in my life seems to have to involve them these days! And I get on with mine but I'm finding it too much lol!
They are lovely but df still relies on his mum too much for things. She took him shopping for all my stuff so she probably influenced him a lot when it came to my birthday. I don't understand why he didn't just go on the bus!!
But his mum tends to "pop" over every day! And to be honest even my own mum is annoying me, purely because she just assumes her and my dad can come up and visit every week, I love them loads and am really close to my mum but I feel like between all of them they aren't bloody leaving us alone to get on with it!

Funny thing is I really want my mum around to help me, but I think when I'm recovering and trying to get into the whole BFing thing I'm gonna want my privacy and space to get on with things, I'm dreading all the visitors tbh, I hate people in my house lol! So what other birthday pressies did you get?

Oh bugger the link won't work, it's basically pale blue with white stars on, first thing we both like !

 

[MrsDuck]

The link won't work for me either it just takes you to m & p homepage.

Thankfully my in laws are a plane flight away so can't just pop in

Yes bailey what else did you get? x

 

[baileybubs]

Nothing, lol. I got the necklace off df, the spa treatment off my mum and dad, money off df's parents and off his brother. I didn't get anything off my brother despite the fact that we share our birthday, and the rest of my family forgot it was my birthday.
And my best friend from school wasn't invited.
My other friend who df did invite (the one who I think didn't like me when I was pregnant l) got me cheeses and cider that I couldn't have whilst I was pregnant.

I'm a very private person, even from my mum and I felt much more comfortable just having df around whilst I was recovering. I didn't like people coming round whilst I felt like crap and was constantly in my pjs. I know it's to be expected from me after just having had a c section but I just wanted everyone to leave me and df alone lol!! I'm so anti social haha!

 

[cupcake1981]

Did you enjoy your spa treatments, I love a massage, pregnancy ones just sent the same, I can't wait for one I can lie on my front for! Wow I didn't know you and your bro shared a birthday, what a coincidence!

I'll be exactly the same, and I know hubby wont understand and will just keep inviting people round! I think we're gonna have to have a talk beforehand!

 

[baileybubs]

Oh yeah the spa treatments were amazing, although the back massage seemed to be over really quickly!
I was gutted that I still couldn't have a proper massage after birth coz my tummy hurt too much lol! But it's much better now so it's fine.

I had told my df about not wanting visitors etc whilst I was in hospital and yet he still invited BIL, SIL and their kids on THE DAY I came home from hospital!! I was so mad!

Have you thought about wall stickers/decals for your nursery rather than full wallpaper? There's some really nice ones out there.

 

[cupcake1981]

Ill go mental if he does that! They forget that you're recovering from a major thing and all they want to do is show off their baby lol! Ill be spelling it beforehand that he's not to incite people round until I feel up to it!

Yeah I think cos were struggling for paint, I'm now thinking about wallpaper!

They always do go quickly don't they, I think cos they are so enjoyable!

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah I would defo give your dh strict instructions, use me as an example if you like lol, coz my df just didn't seem to understand how important it was to me.

Have you been watching BGT cupcake? I'm so annoyed that its not on tonight coz of stupid football lol!!

Have you managed to have a proper massage during your pregnancy? I'd have loved that!

 

[AmyB1978]

MrsD, that is infuriating regarding your letter! I hope they listen and get you booked soon!

Ttc, welcome back! I hope you get some answers today and I've got everything crossed to you during your tww!

Cupcake, I agree with bailey... DH and I still love one another very much, it is just a huge adjustment. Five hours in the car?!? You need a day of rest, put those preggo little feet up!

Bailey, it helps to know you are going through the same feelings/ issues, makes me feel not so crazy!

 

[cupcake1981]

No in not keen on bgt at all! Watching the chefs protege that I have in series record, it has Michel roux jr on at the mo, I love him.

I will use you as an example!

I had a pregnancy massage a few weeks back, was nice but I had to lay on my side do I didn't really fully relax as I was worried my noobs would fall out the blanket that was over me!

 

[baileybubs]

Hehe, you noobs lol!!

Mine were still a bit sore to lie on for my massage but after a few mins they felt fine.

Amy we can feel crazy together lol!!

Oh yeah I remember you are a Voice person arent you cupcake? What did you think of last weeks? I think some of the people that they chose were so wrong!! Tom chose the Welsh girl over the Adele impersonator and I preferred the Adele lady. I don't think it was fair the way that the steals worked, unfair on those who had their battles last/towards the end. And Jessie J still annoys me lol!!

Mrs d have you and dh finished work on the boat now or will you be doing more at the weekend. I;m still quite livid for you that they have lost your letter, its just appalling!!

 

[cupcake1981]

Lol that was meant to be boobs haha, but you know what I meant! Minecarwmtbthat sore at the moment for the first time this pregnancy, altho they are massive and my nips have gone proper dark! It's weird how they change isn't it!

Yeah I like the voice, there have defo been some weird decisions, and agree about those at the end being disadvantaged. I really like Jessie j, I can see why people find her irritating tho!

 

[baileybubs]

I love her music but some of the things she says and does really irritate me, but then again so does Will.i.am too!

Its also amazing how quickly they shrink back lol!! Although if you are gonna BF then they might not shrink back.

I'm trying a new thing with our routine tonight, I usually wait for df to come home from work and go to bed at about midnight, having Millie in the moses basket downstairs with me, but I have decided that I cant keep waiting up for df to get home. So if she's having a good night (which touch wood she is tonight) I am gonna come upstairs with her and read/use the laptop and go to sleep myself around 10pm if I feel tired enough.
Some nights she isnt actually asleep by the time df comes home anyway but I dont think its helping my mood that I'm staying up til midnight every night.

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah I love will I am but he does come out with some odd stuff sometimes! I think Jessie is really talented and passionate.

I'm very determined to bf, but I know it doesn't always work out that way. Just dunno whether to buy bottles etc beforehand. All my friends keep telling me boobs go like spanials ears after BFing, can't wait for that!

Yeah give it a go, can't hurt. I dunno how you stay up til midnight every night!

 

[AmyB1978]

Bailey, that sounds like a good plan! I know my mood is very closely related to how much sleep I manage to get.

 

[baileybubs]

I spoke too soon about tonight shes having a good night lol, shes awake and cranky lol!! But I still think it cant hurt to try and get her into the pattern like this so that when I am finally ready to leave her upstairs on her own when she's established a proper bedtime it should be easier for her to settle.

Cupcake - I bought 4 bottles beforehand coz I figured even if BF was successful, at some point I might have wanted to express and allow some feeds to be from a bottle to give me a little break. Now I have 12 bottles lol.

Amy - I think I managed to convince myself that I'm getting enough sleep, coz Emilia tends to sleep either straight through from around 10-11pm til around 6-7am or she wakes at 2-3am for a feed. But I am forgetting that at around 4am she starts making a grunting sound, she's still asleep but she's sort of stirring and I'm not fully asleep when she's doing this. And I'm sure that as a mum you then never fully have a deep sleep coz you are constantly vigilant for every noise that comes from baby!!

 

[CherylC3]

Hey ladies sorry I'm hardly on here but it's so hard having time to catch up with Leo.. He still has reflux and colic and he really fights sleep every night he still fights sleep and won't sleep till after the half 10 feed then he's up all night uncomfortable with his colic which is a nightmare cos he can go half 10 till 5 without wanting a feed so if the colic was better we cud sleep right thru.

The sensory class was great he was so alert and was watching everyone except at the end he had a dirty nappie and it was pouring out his trousers.

Yeah mamas and papas I liked the blue one Hun it's gorgeous.x

Mrs d sounds like a lovely anniversary u had Hun...x

Bailey I'm sorry ur df disappointed u but I defo this it's hormones I'm the same.. Do u hav to go on the mini pill? After a section? I just want to go on the normal pill.x

Amy how olds Emily now? I can't wait till Leo's more alert and responding to things..x

Ttc fingers crossed Hun.x

Has anyone heard how Tawn is? She's not been on since maddie was born. X

 

[baileybubs]

Hi Cheryl, sorry that Leo still has really bad colic hun. I hope it eases for him soon. I have one friend who used to take it in shifts with her hubby getting sleep, like she would sleep 9pm - 2am and then hubby would sleep, I dont know if that would be an option for you.
No the only reason I am on the mini pill is because I still have high blood pressure, the normal pill can cause blood clots in people with high blood pressure.
These hormones are horrible arent they?

I think Tawn was struggling with Maddie sleeping so I think thats why she's not been on here of FB much recently. She couldnt put Maddie down without her crying , poor things.

 

[MrsDuck]

Noobs haha

I don't know how I'll survive without a good nights sleep both me and hubby like our sleep, we are in for a shock haha

Aw Cheryl I can just imagine it, everyone quiet with relaxing music on and poo running down Leo's legs

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey did you buy a steriliser and all the other paraphernalia beforehand to?

Cheryl sorry Leo is still so poorly, can you get baby gaviscon for his reflux?
