Yeah Emilia was just so impatient with it and continuously writhing around coz she couldn't get any milk straight away coz she couldn't get a proper latch. You've deffo done so well cupcake, I couldn't have lasted as long as you have.
I think the pressure to do it is so strong too, I have a few friends who always tell me how amazing it is and you just need to get through the first few weeks, but I think it can be easier or harder for different women and babies. The relief I felt when I gave Emilia her first bottle of formula was amazing, she was so happy and content after and so was I. I'd given her little bits beforehand and whatever I had managed to pump from my one working boob haha! But it wasn't enough! Funnily she is still such and impatient little eater, and impatient in general actually, she's got that bad trait from me lol!

I didn't feel the epidural at all, she was sticking me with needles for over half an hour and I was in so much pain and concentrating so much on sitting still that I didn't feel a thing lol! I sometimes wish I hadn't had it coz I think it slowed my labour, but I couldn't move anyway to have an active labour coz of all the monitoring which was disappointing.

What are your name ideas mrs d or do you not want to say?

AF took me by surprise this morning! Worked out I must have O'd on cd16, I did get an almost positive opk that day, must have just missed the surge!

How is everyone today?

 

[cupcake1981]

That's good sounds like your cycles are nice and regular! When did you get your first AF after birth?

Tired.....Zach was screaming for food at 6:30 almost an hour earlier than he was supposed to want it, so fed him, then my boobs starting leaking everywhere cos he was crying (first time in ages!) so had to pump. Just going back to bed for an hour!!

 

[baileybubs]

I got mine exactly 6 weeks pp but that was the same day I started taking the cerazette and I didn't get AF til the afternoon so I'm unsure if the cerazette had any effect.

Aw Hun, hope you get another hours sleep! I've been up since 6am with Emilia, she didn't wake in the night for a change last night woohoo! I'm hoping to get an hour nap later coz I'm working later.

That's good that you got some more milk coming through when he cried though!

 

[MrsDuck]

I'm glad your cycles are nice and regular leading up to you starting to ttc again
Yay for a good nights sleep bailey

Cupcake sorry for a pants nights sleep, I hope you've managed a nap

I likes names that you can't really shorten like ruby, darcey, Amy, Lilly but I don't think it's a girl anyway, I've no idea on boys names apart from Rhys but dh hates that.

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah I got another hour or so! Lovely.

Hope work is ok, you're lucky you enjoy it!

Mrs d you ok today?

 

[cupcake1981]

Ah I love those names mrs d, I always felt cheated having a name no one could shorten so will give my babies names you can! Don't have a middle name either so they'll all have those to!

Sleep wasn't to bad, standard really just an early wake up call. Zach is pretty good at night geverally.

 

[MrsDuck]

Glad you got another hour. Yup I'm at work today but everyone else hasn't turned up as they were at a drinks event last night (I made excuses not to go for obvious reasons). It's going to be a long day but thankfully it's Friday

 

[MrsDuck]

No middle name! Mine's Emily

My aunt named my cousin Oliver and hates the name olly but of course that's what everyone calls him haha

 

[baileybubs]

Aw they are lovely names! I'm the same as you cupcake coz my name can't be shortened (well it can but then it's even weirder and people look at you like you have 3 heads lol). So that's why I love Emilia, she can be Emilia or Emmy or Millie or even Lia if she wants lol! But then next baby will probably be Ethan or Niamh neither of which I think you can really shorten.

My middle name is Marie (no surprise those of you who know me on fb lol).

My nephew is in the NICU he had the cord wrapped round his throat and apparently my BIL had to basically make them do something to get him out coz he was having decels but they were stalling taking her to theatre (which they think is coz they had other emergencies). His heartrate is quite rapid apparently and they are gonna x ray his chest. This sucks, after everything they've been through why can't they just have had a healthy baby who could go home with them I just hope he recovers quickly and it's not something serious.

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw that's awful, talk about adding to their stress I hope he recovers quickly and can go home with them soon

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh bailey that's awful about your nephew. I hope he's better very soon, he's in the best place so im sure hell be just fine. Annoying that your bil had to make them take her down after all they've been through previously!! You'd think they'd make her a priority!

I always feel cheated that I don't have a middle name, I have all sorts of stupid stuff I call Zach but mainly I call him sausage, no idea why but have done since he was born!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw sausage

I'm still on my own at work and fed up

 

[MrsDuck]

You can tell its the weekend, it's so quiet on here xx

 

[baileybubs]

Hey mrs d how are you today? We have been busy sorting out stuff for a car boot tomorrow, it's amazing how much junk we have! Just hope we make some money!

What you up to this weekend?

 

[MrsDuck]

I'm impressed bailey, I haven't got the patience to do a car boot, I just end up giving my junk to charity. I hope you make lots tomorrow

I've just been doing lots of washing and cleaning the house ready for hubby's parents coming over next week. I'm shattered now

 

[baileybubs]

Well normally I would just take it to charity shops buy with my maternity pay almost up and cost of moving etc we are gonna see if we can make anything. Anything we don't sell will go to the charity shops. Plus may as well take the opportunity of df being off work too lol!

Aw Hun don't over do it with tidying and stuff! Is it weds your scan too? So you can show your in laws the scan of your little duckling!!

We finally saw a pic of our nephew today! He's gorgeous, loads of hair like Emilia but lighter colour. He's hopefully gonna be able to go home tomorrow yay!

 

[MrsDuck]

Yeah scan is Wednesday, I can't wait just so I know one way or the other if all is ok.

Oh that's great news. Is your sil already at home?

 

[baileybubs]

As far as I know she's still in hospital, but I'm not 100% sure. Coz of breastfeeding she might be allowed to stay in but I don't know if that's what she's doing.

Aw I bet you are so nervous Hun, but don't panic coz I'm sure that little duckling is fine and wriggling away in there. Keep positive Hun, as hard as it can be, this is your rainbow I really do believe that

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw that must be awful, that you are able to go home but baby has to stay in hospital

Thanks hun, I'm hoping like cupcake says if it's not baby I'm hearing on the Doppler then it's placenta but either way it indicates everything is ok. Well that thought is keeping me positive, plus the fact I still have sensitive nips, yuck taste in my mouth and sicky feeling

I've had a busy day, on top of all the cleaning and washing, I've made a cake
