Haha I was a little surprised there was only one too, I feel so rough.

I just hope this is my rainbow pleeeeeeeeease

That will be nice sath, will they be expecting you or will it be a surprise?

 

[baileybubs]

Aw little gummy bear duckling!!! So glad you are having another scan in 4 weeks too, is that going to be your proper dating scan then?
What did they say about your tsh?

Amy Emily sounds like she's such a lovely little baby! Yay for sitting for herself, clever girl! It amazes me how quickly these LOs of ours are learning all these new things!

 

[MrsDuck]

I'm not sure as I'll only by their calculations be 10 and a half weeks but they said their dates will be more accurate at that scan

My TSH is 0.02 so it needs to go up a little but they weren't too concerned

 

[baileybubs]

Oh that's good that they weren't concerned then, have they told you to reduce your meds then?

 

[CherylC3]

[cupcake1981]

Yey mrs d for a hb!!!!! It's the most amazing sight ever isn't it. I'm so happy for you Hun, you just deserve this gift so much after everything!!

Bailey is Emilia happier now?

Cheryl yey for bfn lol, I still find it funny when were hapy about that on here!

Sath boo to cleaning! I get a man round to so the oven lol, I hate doing it!

Well the lady at the hospital couldn't get him on so im gonna carry on expressing, my supply and quality seems good considering I've only had it a day, and I pumped enough at the hospital for almost a whole feed, and have just pumped now and combined with this mornings yield, have enough for the tea time feed. I'm not giving up tho, I'm gonna have lots of skin to skin with him when he's not hungry and let him find the boob when he's relaxed and if it happens it happens. At least he's gonna get my milk for a few weeks and that's the main thing to me.

 

[baileybubs]

That's good that your milk supply is good hun! I really hope you can carry on either bf or expressing for him Hun.

Emilia has been miss cranky pants all day, just trying to settle her to sleep now before I have a bath. I've been in my pjs all day and I feel like I stink (which I probably do lol)

 

[SATH]

Cupcake sounds like you have a good supply of milk so he is getting all those nutrients and antibodies skin to skin is a good idea maybe when he's not hungry he'll discover the boon! Can you believe this time last week he wasn't here!

Bailey sounds like you've had a tough day. Wish you lived close to me you could clean and I could play with Emilia great idea don't you think?

Cheryl nearly in the clear. I've never had a bfp though until 13dpi so few more days. Have you got the heating on yet? I'm cold.

Amy Emily is so cute she sounds like she is a great character. Sitting up already their growing too fast. Love the pic.

Mrs d great news about them not worried about tsh. You can sleep easier tonight well until the nausea kicks again.

Had very lazy day oops will have to make up for it tomorrow. Boys didn't know I was coming so they were thrilled. Nice to feel loved. Little one had to hold my hand the whole way home then the fighting began who gets to play with aunty jen first.

 

[AmyB1978]

What a gorgeous little duckling!

 

[baileybubs]

Sath that would be a deal if we lived closer lol!

Cheryl are you feeling better now and less anxious? How are things with you and dh?

 

[MrsDuck]

Thanks ladies, I've been out with the girlies tonight so sorry not been on here, hopefully I'll get a good nights sleep tonight now

Aw sath that sounds lovely, so cute, how old are they?

Sorry Emilia has been cranky pants, after her good nights sleep I thought he would have been in a great mood

Cupcake that's great news about your supply, does he take your milk in a bottle? I hope he gets used to your boob, it'll be so much easier for you xx

Amy are you still working?

 

[AmyB1978]

MrsD, I am still working just Saturdays. We decided we will revisit it when she turns a year. We are using savings to make ends meet so can't do it forever but being home with her is really important to me so were figuring it out as we go.

 

[cupcake1981]

Glad you are still only working Saturdays Amy, I can't imagine leaving Zach to go back to work. I miss him when I'm in bed and he's in the living room with daddy whose doing the dream feed!

Mrs d did you tell your friends about your duckling? Yes I'm expressing and putting into a bottle, it's hard work tho, need to get hold of an electric pump to get a good amount out!

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh that's good Amy that you can last on savings without going to work more often xx

Is pumping more painful than actually bfing?
Haha an electric pump makes me think of cows being milked
I don't blame you must be hard work with a manual pump xx

Nope we aren't going to tell anyone until after my next scan in 4 weeks. I did email my scan to mil as she already knows

 

[CherylC3]

Hey sorry Emilia has been cranky Hun..x

Sath yeah heating is on its freezing winter is coming. Had to buy Leo some more clothes to get him wrapped up..x

Cupcake don't beat urself up about the formula feeding cos they wudnt be allowed to sell it if it was bad for babies..x

Mrs d hope u slept well and thts good ur keeping it a secret for now. X

Amy yeah for just doing Saturdays I've been doing my back in touch days here its 10 days u are allowed to work during ur mat leave but I'm not going back to work till nov il be doin 3 days wed,fri, sat and my mum will be watching Leo for us..x

Me and dh are doing ok. It his mum causing bother asking when she's getting Leo all the time wanting him for sleepovers and she's in her 70s and not fit for it and this makes us argue cos he's the middle man. X

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw sorry your mil is causing problems. Is your hubby happy for Leo to stay with his parents then? A baby is a lot for a couple in their 70's to cope with xx

Have you tested again today?

 

[CherylC3]

No he's not happy but men and there mums are a nightmare. It's just his mum so tht worrys me more and she stays a good 35mins away. Xx

Bfn this morning so expecting af

 

[MrsDuck]

Phew yay for a bfn
Yeah so she's not on your doorstep if she is finding it hard through the night
Stick to your guns hun, you know what's best for Leo and if it doesn't feel right don't be pressured. Your hubby is gutless if he doesn't want her to have Leo either but won't stand up to her. You poor thing

 

[cupcake1981]

Dont blame you Cheryl I won't be letting my inlaws to have him overnight for a very long time, they're not used to babies and I would be terrified. It's funny isnt it cos you totally trust your own parents, and I'd be happy for him to go to them in a few weeks. I'm sure well be having the same arguments in the coming months!

Mrs d it's do much better only telling people after the scan, so you know that it's all good and you can actually get excited!

Bailey what you up to with Emilia today?

 

[MrsDuck]

I'm off work today yippee, I've got a hospital appointment at lunchtime about my thyroid and then there is an air-show that we will watch over the bay below the hospital

Ooh I've just heard my garage door go, I think my Doppler has arrived yay
