Aw Cheryl I'm sorry dh is being a pain again! That sucks! So you aren't gonna be ttc in the new year then? I don't get how going to college is gonna help you right now with money though Hun. Is he willing to at least look after Leo if he's gonna be a college and maybe let you work full time?
I'm sorry Leo isn't sleeping well Hun, is it maybe teething?

Mrs d oooh enjoy your meal Hun, hope you don't end up feeling sick. When's your scan this week?

Espero hehe that made me laugh, tred sexi non? Lol, my df doesn't get it much (our routines clash too much lol) so I could wear a bin bag and he'd still say I was sexy haha! Do you use opks or anything to detect O or just go by O pain?

Ahh. Absinthe makes the tarts grow fonder. Or something.

Binbag you say? Hmmm... Worth a go!

I've only ever used OPKs once, when we were TTC the first time - used hundreds of the damned things and not a sausage. Turned out I was already pregnant.

I do get a very distinctive crampy pain in my right side on O - (no ovary on the left) so I tend to go by that. Might try them again after a couple of months.

Espero xx

Ah i see! So the opks never been helpful then lol? I didn't use them first time as we miraculously conceived month after I stopped BC pill but after the MMC I used them. I get quite a strong O pain now too though. Will deffo be a POAS addict once I'm ttc though! Do you O every month still then espero?

And yeah my usual attire is baggy pjs with no bra (I hate wearing bras these days so as soon as I get home it gets whipped off haha!) my hair is then scraped back and a hair band put on lol, I'm sure I look the least sexy I possibly could! Perhaps I should make more effort more often....

Never! Baggy PJs for the win! With floofy socks. And a bucket of wine. Because we are Ladies.

Seem to O every month, although my cycles are a bit everywhere. I am a reformed POASaholic - used to spend fortunes and line them up to check progression and scour the internet for comparative reviews and.... Breathe. Breathe. Walk away...

How's your, ahem, regularity? If you don't mind me asking of course!

Hey ladies

I've been AWOL again, had an awful day yesterday, Zach was constipated and had been since early Sunday am and kept throwing up after each feed, I stank of sick! Finally pooped this am! Is still being fussy and clingy, and doesn't want to play, just sleep.

Mrs d when is your scan? I'm so excited for you to spill the beans!

Bailey are you working anymore this week? What was it like dtd the first time after your section? I have my 6 week check next week and I know hubby's gonna want to once we get the green light, even tho I have absolutely no desire to ATM, prob cos I'm still technically breastfeeding and it kills your sex drive! How much if a routine did you have Emilia in by 5/6 weeks? We hardly have any, just take each day as it comes! Am I opening myself up to problems in a few weeks?

Cheryl boo to hubby being a pain again. Are you working again now?

Hey espero, hope you get your oh later on

 

[Espero]

Hey espero, hope you get your oh later on

Thanks hun.

Is that your mini-man in your profile pic? He's beautiful!

 

[baileybubs]

Espero for me my cycles have been a bit extended since having Emilia, but nt drastically so. I seem to O between cd16 and 21. I'm just tracking at the min so when I ttc I have some idea of when I O (or maybe just coz I am a POAS addict lol!) but today's opks are negative and I'm cd12 so who knows! Starting to get slight tingles on my right so maybe it will be around cd16-17 this month.
Hehe a reformed POAS addict, mine has retuned full force these days lol!

Cupcake I don't think we had any sort of routine at all at that young age, I was still pretty much demand feeding. I think it was only from about 10-12 weeks that we got a slight routine going. Aw sorry he was constipated Hun, how has he been since he pooped?

 

[cupcake1981]

Thanks espero, yep that's Zach, he is scrummy but I am biased of course!

He's pooped loads today but is still a bit not quite himself. I think it's the wonder week causing him to be a bit of a pain! We're starting to put him in bed, in his crib in our room in a sleeping bag, after his 8/9 o clock feed, with lullaby lamb, but not doing a bath or anything beforehand.

I've still not been brave enough to go to a baby group, that and it's such hard work getting out the house sometimes!

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh we went to see our photos from the shoot, I cried a bit they were so beautiful!! We ended up buying more than our free one....knew we would haha

 

[baileybubs]

We didn't do bath before bed til just a few weeks ago cupcake, it got her more overstimulated before then and made it harder to go to sleep!

I went to that one sensory group last week and I didn't like it. They were doing things like baby signing which I'm not sure I want to do with Emilia, plus the mums were all chatting away when we are supposed to be doing stuff with the babies.

 

[baileybubs]

Lol I bet you did Hun we spent loads on the ones we had lol, worth it though

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh that makes me feel better, I can't handle the stress of a bath in the evenings!

I may try baby sensory tomo but I do think he's prob too young at the mo.

 

[MrsDuck]

Espero sorry hubby was a bugger last night, I hope you got him tonight

Bailey I can't wait til you are back ttc and poas

Sath any symptoms?

Aw I bet the photos were gorgeous cupcake, sorry zach still isn't himself, hopefully he will start to feel a bit better now all the stale poo is out

My nt scan is Thursday lunchtime, I'm pooping myself I think after this scan if all goes well I can start to relax a bit

 

[cupcake1981]

Aaagh look at you 12 weeks! How did that happen! Your pregnancy is gonna fly! Everything will be fine with the duckling don't you worry chick.

Zach has started screaming after every bottle, giving hungry cues, and arching his back to make it impossible to wind him, being sick and usually getting hiccups. I suspect reflux . Cheryl does this sound like Leos symptoms?

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh no not zach too are boys more prone to reflux?

You think it's gone quick??? It's dragged for me. Thanks hun I really hope all goes well, I can't wait to start telling people

 

[cupcake1981]

I have no idea, my nephew had it to, maybe. Suddenly seems to have got bad last few days, dunno if it's part of this growth spurt/wonder week but it can bugger back off to where it came from.

Feeds are screwed again tonight, gonna be up at 1 & 5am.....urgh

 

[AmyB1978]

Emily has, somewhat, outgrown her reflux but had very similar symptoms to Zach.

 

[CherylC3]

Hey cupcake sounds like reflux Hun I'd get to the dr with him to get some gaviscon Hun... Reflux is a nightmare.x

Hope ur all ok..x

We won't be ttc.. I worried we will even be together after the new year it's so hard after u have a baby with no sleep and bickering all the time. X

 

[CherylC3]

Amy Emily is so big such a cute pic of her. X

 

[baileybubs]

Aw cupcake I'm sorry I can't help you with that coz Emilia didn't have reflux but it sure sounds like it to me. Poor little mite!

Mrs d I bet it's gone so slow for you! That first tri seemed like a lifetime for me! But you made it Hun! You're almost 2nd tri now yay!

Cheryl aw Hun are you and hubby still struggling? Have you tried having some time off together or something? I found that df being off work for a bit and him having Emilia whilst I worked helped a bit.
