Lucky thread

[CherylC3]

He's just went back to work after having 2 wks off. The 2 of us said we will try and make more of an effort I do think some of it is my hormones too.
He said if we waited a yr or so to hav another one and tbh now tht dec is so close I want to enjoy more time with Leo think the earliest I'd want to be pg is maybe jun or July.. For finances too as I'm not back to work till nov so wud be nice to be back 6 months before falling pg again..x

I mean if it happened before then fair enough but thts the plan.
How are u doin? U still going for dec?x

 

[Tawn]

I hope you and hubby come to an agreement of what works best for both of you Cheryl!
PS: Happy 6 months to Leo! OMG time flies!

MrsD, are you so excited for your appt tomorrow? I can't wait for a better pic of the little duckling

Bailey, I can't stand when people pop round without calling first, that would drive me bonkers! I feel like it is more of a UK thing (I never had this happen when I lived in the States) and I really found it difficult to adjust to because sometimes I don't feel like socializing or I want to make sure I am out of my pjs before they come round Roll on move-date huh?

Cupcake, I am working again yes. I only had about 3 weeks where I didn't have to do anything at all whatsoever, then I had to ease back into a few necessary projects. I only am working about 15 hours a week, so I arrange it around Steve's work schedule or maddie's naps or the weekend etc. It is a challenge to find motivation though as it means all my "spare" time is taken up by trying to cram some work in.... what I wouldn't give for a few hours to myself to read a book in a hot bubble bath!

Welcome Espero! I really hope you catch that eggy this cycle hun!

Sath, that sounds like great therapy to get out with the dogs! De-stressing will hopefully do wonders with TTC.

Hope I didn't miss anyone, my brain is scrambled eggs this morning! Madison is melting down in her own room, it's not going very well at all but I am determined to give it a real go before succumbing to moving her back in our room again. I'm struggling a bit to find my PMA right now though, and feeling sorry for myself that I've done everything the books and experts tell me to and we are still having 8 wake-ups a night. I think there might be sleep training in our future

Also, I decided to move her naps to her cot as well figuring it can't get much worse than it is now, so we might as well decide "how" and "where" we want her to sleep from now on and just stay consistent until she gets it someday.......whenever that day may be!

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh hugs Tawn, sounds like your having a tough time Hun x

 

[CherylC3]

Hey Tawn aw thts a shame it sounds hectic trying to fit ur work in. I kno 6 months I can't believe it. X

Cupcake how's zack u thinking its reflux then?x

Welcome expero hope u get ur BFP very soon..x

Yeah hoping we sort something. X

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw Cheryl I'm sorry to hear you are still going through a tough time with hubby, I could strangle my hubby most of the time and that's before baby arrives so I can tell with a lack of sleep and hormones we are going to be on the verge of murdering each other. Does he ever have Leo on his own?

Aw tawn your life sounds do hectic at the moment, how you manage/function on no sleep is beyond me. I really hope she starts to sleep more xx

I'm pooping my pants but hopefully I can relax a little from tomorrow onwards

 

[cupcake1981]

Mrs d your scan will be great , look forward to it cos you have so few scans in pregnancy. You won't get your nt risk tomo so ask them what the measurement is when your being scanned.

Forgot to say my little genius went from 9-4 between feeds last night! We've not made it out the house again today, I've had a lazy afternoon watching magic mike and gbbo while Zach has been asleep!

 

[baileybubs]

Good afternoon ladies!

Cheryl, yeah we are still going to ttc after christmas, it works out better for us moneywise (weirdly!) if we do because I can't go back to this job full time, and to get a better job I would need to be more career focused but cant do that with Emilia, so we figure we may as well have another baby now and I can go back to pursuing my career properly when they go to school. Unless of course I find a good job before I get pregnant coz I keep looking for something that will pay me more and be more suitable for putting Emilia into nursery.
That sucks that you guys are falling out so much though, me and df still fall out a lot but I am making a big effort to stop flying off the handle and counting to ten when I feel angry (lol!!) and he is making more efforts around the house and with Emilia (that may have had something to do with me threatening to throw his xbox through the window though!).

Mrs d so excited for tomorrow!! Cant wait to see your little duckling again! All this is making me so broody but I am adamant I am waiting til New Year because then I will have that minimum 18 month gap. Have you thought of any more names yet or found any you and dh agree on?

Cupcake hows Zach? Is he still puking a lot? Did you manage to get in at the doctors?

Tawn aw hun I'm sorry you are still struggling with Maddies sleep patterns, you must be exhausted! You are doing an amazing job hun, and I think you are right to persevere with her in her own room and for naps too coz she will need to be ok with it one day, may as well keep trying now. Have you spoke to a gp about it, see if there is anything that can help? I dont know what that would be though.

 

[baileybubs]

Aw well done Zach! He is a little genius! Ooh and dont tell me what happened in gbbo, I'm watching it tonight. I was gutted when Howard went a couple of weeks ago
My money is on Ruby I think, she just keeps getting better despite her nervousness!

 

[cupcake1981]

I know bailey! What a little superstar! Dunno if it's trying to start something of a bedtime routine that's helping. We're putting him to bed after his feed at 8/9 in his crib, in his sleeping bag, in the dark with lullaby lamb playing. But mummy got 6 hours sleep in a row (I went at 10) so I just hope it's the start of longer sleeping at night!

I love gbbo, I miss having the time to bake intricate little things. I've made cookies a few times last few weeks and that's about it! My money's on Kimberley, she keeps knocking it out the park!!

Not so much puke today, am taking more time winding him and making sure I get wind up at the end of the feed , despite the infacol it's taking 20 mins to wind sometimes. I don't want him to have to have gaviscon if I can help it, he's an ickle bubba don't want to put medicines in him yet

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh and having a baby changes your relationship so much, hubby and I are snapping and bitching at each other all the time to

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah Kimberley or ruby deffo gonna win I think. I might get stuff to bake my own brownies again tomorrow lol, I gave up on the diet ages ago haha!

Aw I hope it's the start of him sleeping well for you, that will be good (until you hit the 4 month regression lol).

Yeah I get what you mean about not wanting to give him gaviscon, I was reluctant to even give Emilia calpol at first coz I'm not really a medicine taker myself. I think too much can make you immune or need stronger and stronger so only use it sparingly. We've done well with the calpol though, we've just about finished the bottle we bought when she had her 8 week vaccinations so haven't used much.

 

[MrsDuck]

Thanks cupcake and I'll be happy if I can see a nose bone

I was out last night so missed gbbo, I'll have to watch it Sunday

Whoo hoo for a good sleep cupcake, I hope it continues and yay for no puke

 

[cupcake1981]

Tbh I already have the calpol in the cupboard for when he has his jabs! But I don't like the idea of adding gaviscon to his feeds. I already hate having to give him formula as I wanted to bf, let alone formula with drugs in . Still if it's what he needs ill do that but trying to wind better and keep him upright longer for now.

Aw brownies. I ate the last cookie earlier so am now all out of goodies, maybe brownies will be in order.

Ah I've heard about that evil 4 month sleep regression. Just as you get them sleeping well they go backwards again! Hoping for another good night tonight!

 

[MrsDuck]

My brownies are pants apart from that recipe you sent me cupcake that I used rollos for they were so good

Hopefully my baby will be like me and hubby and love it's sleep. Here's hoping

 

[MrsDuck]

I didn't sleep much at all last night, 3 hours to go.......

I hope all you lovelies managed lots of sleep last night and weren't kept awake by your little ones

 

[cupcake1981]

Happy scan day I can't wait to see the pics!! It's all gonna be great! What time is it?

Only manage 5 1/2 hours between feeds last night.....seems Tursday was a fluke!

 

[baileybubs]

Aw mrs d I am sure it will go brilliantly!! Cant wait to see another pic of the little duckling!

Cupcake aw bless Zack's doing really well with 5 1/2 hours between feeds, but I am sure he'll just keep getting better and better with it, he'll be sttn before you know it!

I'm just watching the Wright stuff and the topic of conversation is articles about how apparently the ideal age to have children is 26 (which I think means your first child). All this is doing is spurring me to have baby number two asap lol!! I think its rubbish though coz I dont think that there is a perfect age, but I think the article refers to physically its better. I think mentally I wouldnt have been in the right place at 26 but thats a personal thing as I was divorced and single and at uni lol!!

 

[MrsDuck]

I'm back.....

All went brilliantly, the people due to be scanned before me didn't turn up so I was allowed a double length appointment so lots of baby watching time. We saw a good nose bone and on average fluid measured 1.4mm so she wasn't concerned at all about downs, she forgot to print me pics so as I was about to leave and I asked if I could have a pic she apologised for not printing as she went along and got me to lay back down and did some more scanning and printed them which I thought was really nice of her

 

[MrsDuck]

5 1/2 hours is still good cupcake I hope it continues to increase xx

Bailey I always wanted my children before I was 30, so much for that hey. I blame hubby, we've been together 10 years.

 

[Tawn]

Yay mrsd so pleased for you! Post a pic when you get a chance
