Df is still off work this week mrs d so he's been with her. My boss says I can do 70 hours before beginning of December and still get my mat pay, then once it's December my mat pay stops so I can work as many as I want til I get my set hours in January. Just hope they have shifts I can do once it's January!

How is everyone today? Hope you are all well! Been on a 9 hour shift at work today and really enjoyed it. I missed Emilia but df seemed to cope well! Glad to be back but was so happy to get home and give Emilia a big snuggle!

Thanks TTCbabyisom! How are you doing hun? Any symptoms yet for this TWW?
MrsD, was that enough pics for ya lol! I unloaded my camera, which I only get around to about every 2-3 months. Picture overload! Heheheh. I am thinking boy for you too, so it must be true Is your MS finally starting to go now that you are nearing 2nd tri?
Bailey, I'm impressed with your great attitude about going back to work! I don't think I could cope and am really glad I work from home right now. It's funny, but having no family support here means no breaks from the baby since she was born and now I can't imagine it.... UH-OH! Think I might have separation anxiety too! Hahhaah
Sorry I don't get on this thread much anymore. I was AWOL for so long when Madison was a terror of a newborn and I couldn't find time to use the bathroom nonetheless BnB and then I felt like I'd missed out on too much it was kind of hard to pop back in! But I miss catching up, so I am going to make an effort to post more (I do stalk, creeper that I am, but I will say HIIII more often!)
AFM, we are probably gonna try Madison in her own room tonight (EEEK!) DH finally came back to bed, which is wonderful as this sleep regression has kept us apart for 7 weeks now, but he is snoring SO BADLY that it is waking her up! I don't know if it's always been that loud, and I just hear it more now I am listening for the baby, but MY GOODNESS!
It will pretty much suck a lot for me to have her move into her room as she is still up about 7-8 times a night (joy!) but I think it needs to be done now rather than later when it will be much harder. Maybe it will help? Who knows!?

Aw Tawn so nice to see you in here! You are missed! Good luck with getting maddie on her own room, we are gonna put Zach in his crib tonight for the first time in our room, so we may both be having sleepless nights (well, more than usual lol!).
Mrs d do you have another scan this week?
Bailey if df still off work? Are you desperate for him to go back yet? I was so glad when hubby went back to work on Monday he was driving me bonkers!
Think Zach is going through wonder week 5, he's clingy and wingy and a pain in the evenings. I had a horrid night last night I accidentally choked the poor little bugger with gripe water. Why don't they give you a pipette with that stuff?!? Was on the phone to NHS direct panicking id broken my baby
. Expressing is still going well, we're almost on every other feed being breast milk now

Wow cupcake, your perseverance with pumping is amazing and so admirable! I don't think I could have managed that, you are a superwoman! 
Madison always cluster fed (if not on the breast she screamed) from about 6pm-10:30/11pm until about 8-9weeks. It was rough but it did pass.
How does Zach do with sleeping?

Hey Tawn, he's a good sleeper, settles well during the day and just wakes up once about 3/4 to feed. I think he's so good cos he has bottles so gets a nice full tummy. How is maddie sleeping now?
I love the pic of maddie in the coral hat and jacket, so sweet.

Oh wow, that is so amazing! Lucky mummy! I'm glad he is a good little sleeper for you, as much as I have baby sleep envy I wouldn't wish a bad sleeper on anyone
She is rubbish, still. It was getting tolerable at about 10-12 weeks where she was finally sleeping in her cot and only up 2x a night and then we went to America and she has been jacked up since then
I am kind of resigned to it now, it's not her fault and I am making sure to settle her without feeding or picking up so that she has an opportunity to learn to get out of it, but at this point it's been over 7 weeks of up every hour (or 2 if we are lucky) and you just get on with it I suppose
Yeah, I never dress her up, I am all about comfy baby clothes, but I was cleaning out her drawers and found those and had to do a photo sesh
Did you ever write out your birth story hun? If you did, do you have the link because I wasn't on BnB much I don't really know how it went etc (besides the c-section part which you told us on FB). I hope it wasn't too traumatic

Oh that's terrible that she's still such a nightmare. I really don't know how you cope, especially as Steve can't do a full nightshift for you as you're BFing.
I never got round to writing a birth story, never found the time. In a nutshell, my waters broke at about 5pm on the Wednesday evening (at 38+5) after they had leaked all day. I'd ended up at the hospital all day to as my bp had shot up, but noone believed me that I was leaking and something was starting! Went to the hospital after they'd broken and they sent me home telling me is be induced the following evening if I didn't start to labour on my own. Went home, had some mild contractions, went to bed, woke up the next morning and it had all stopped. Spent all day trying to get into labour to no avail. Got the pessary at 10pm that night, nothing, started on the drip at 4am on Friday am. Laboured all day on tens, pethidine and g&a, at 2pm was 7cm, at 6pm was 7-8, had hardly progressed and learned his head was in a awkward position and he was back to back. I'd had enough by this point, was exhausted, so they decided to do a section dnd he was born about an hour later. Was pretty gutted to have a section as I worked hard all day to avoid the epidural and forceps which were my biggest fear, only to end up with a section. Combination of c section recovery and pain, and pethidine made BFing so hard for us. Zach is a really hungry baby and he would get so frustrated getting no milk as it took 5 days for it to come in. I was a wreck dnd would dread each feed as my nips were bruised and cracked from his over zealous sucking to get the milk that wasn't there. Made the decision to express as I wanted to enjoy Zach rather than being miserable trying to do something I was finding so impossible, but I still really wanted him to have the benefit of my breast milk. And that's about my birth story!
