Lucky thread

[baileybubs]

In all honesty mrs d I think I'm just lucky that Emilia is such a good sleeper, I can't really say what I may it may not have done to help lol! But me and df are both sleep lovers so maybe that has something to do with it? She definately is a light sleeper now though. Before the 4 month sleep regression she would sleep in our room and we could be chatting etc and she wouldn't stir, after the 4 months now even a creaking floor board can disturb her! So it's gonna be fun when we have a screaming newborn in the house too eeek!

Yeah she loved the pasta and pesto and so did I lol! I was a bit dubious about letting Emilia have some because there's debates over whether it's ok to have nut based foods from 6 months or 12.
Some say wait til 12 coz of allergies (or 3 years if there's a family history of nut allergies) but others say that waiting that long can cause the allergies so after 6 months is best. So I just went for it!! I was completely mentally prepared for a reaction but figured as there was no family history and I still are nuts throughout pregnancy chances were it would be ok, and thankfully it was!! Next try is peanut butter!

So good that you can feel HIM a lot now lol, I thought df thought I was making it up too when I felt movement. Just wait til you shout dh over to feel and he stops lol, happened all the time with us!!

Mmmmm those bickies sound yum hope they work!!

Bailey how did you get Emilia to drop a night feed. Zach now goes down at 7 and sleeps til 11 for a feed and then wakes up again to feed about 3:30/4. Desperate for him to drop the 4am one, he's 10 weeks now!! Should I try giving more at 11pm less at 4am and then more again at 8am to ween him off the feed or just accept that he'll do it when he's ready?

Tawn glad that the sleep training us at least working for night even if it is still a battle for naps.

Fletch I hope you get some answers at the docs.

Ooh speaking of biscuits I meant to share this super yummy amazing easy recipe I've been making. I put raisins in them to. You could add Apple to these mrs d.

PATIENTLY waiting to test. had a nice temp spike this morning. too bad it's MOST likely from progesterone. I still have hope though. I'm testing on wednesday morning...if i can wait that long! if i wasn't on progesterone this cycle, i would have test this morning with my spike. and i actually had a bigger spike than that, i temped 4 times to be sure all about same and this was the middle one. Neat.

Ladies....

BFP!!!

I took a cheapie last night and thought I could see a faint positive, but then I thought - nah, cheapie evap line and anyway you're early. Took a CB Digi first thing this morning and - Pregnant, 1-2.

Trying to work out how to post a pic - will upload asap.

I'm so happy I'm actually up an' attem ON A SUNDAY MORNING!

Espero

this is the BEST news i've heard all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not really sure she just sort of naturally dropped her feeds, she had her last one initially at about 7.30pm and we just left her sleeping until she woke and she woke at around midnight for a feed then went back to sleep til morning. After a while she just started sleeping through. Sorry I can't be of any more help. From what I've read Emilia is a bit unusual coz she dropped night feeds quite early. Does he wake naturally for his 11pm one? Are you sure he's waking for a feed?

Hi ttc, can't wait for you to test Hun!!! I reckon this month is just so lucky that there's gonna be so many BFPs!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

I wanna know what your having to!!

I feel a bit left out not being preggo lol.

don't feel left out cupcake, i'm not preggo either. ;-)

 

[cupcake1981]

We never wake him at night we wait for him to wake. He takes a full bottle both times and won't settle for a dummy I don't think. Tbh we've not really tried to settle him other ways we've just assumed he's hungry as he only has 5 bottles a day.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Where have all our ttcers gone??

Ttc, sath, espero, cath I hope you are all well xxx

I'm still here MrsD, just PATIENTLY waiting for wednesday to get here!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Nooooo I ordered a doppler off eBay that was from Hong Kong so would take 4-6 weeks to deliver, meaning I would be at least 8-10 weeks along when it arrived and so wouldn't be tempted to try it too soon! It's arrived today!!! So now I've gotta try not to try and use it for another 3-4 weeks argh!

Yay for doppler but wow, it got to you fast! Be strong Bailey and don't use it too soon.

I didn't watch it cupcake, I cried at that new sainsburys ad where the kids are filming a Christmas message for their dad who's a soldier and he surprises them and they scream with joy! It's lovely but even typing this now I'm feeling weepy so I don't think I could have coped watching children in need!
How are you and Zach today cupcake?

What's everyone up to this weekend?

omg thats my fave advert! i cried when i saw it last night!

Well, y last cycle was sept 25th. still no sign of AF. Had what i thought was a pos hpt the other day but not had one since so got a docs apt tomorrow to request a blood test. if im preg in 8 weeks tomorrow. the only symptoms i have are runny poops (sorry tmi) tingly and pelvis stretching pains/aches.

bnb ruins the pic but its ink not an evap. i even had hubby running into the bathroom thinking id hurt myself haha. he saw it straight away and rang docs for an at bless him xxx

Yep, that's a line, i see it, i see it!!!

 

[baileybubs]

Ttc I promise I won't use it yet lol!

Cupcake does he have 5 altogether including the 2 at night? Or 5 during the day and then 2 at night as well? How far spaced out are they during the day and do you still demand feed or is it more of a routine now? I started demand feeing but after a while she settled into a 3-4 hour pattern. Now I just tend to make her a bottle every 4 hours automatically and that way she has 4 a day coz she's awake for 12 hours (not including naps) then sleeps for 12 hours.

 

[cupcake1981]

He has 5 total, 7 oz each time so 35 oz a day which is 2.5 times his weight which I think is the guide? We demand feed but there is a rough pattern. Around 4.5 - 5 hours between feeds.

 

[baileybubs]

Maybe try reducing the timing bit by bit during the day and see if he will sleep for longer if he's had the bulk of his feed during the 12 hours of "daytime", maybe? I dunno if it will help, coz every baby is different aren't they? We had to do the opposite you see and extend the time in between coz she was drinking small amounts more often (every 2.5-3 hours). And maybe at the same time reduce the amount in the early hours of the morning one (was it 4am you said?).

 

[baileybubs]

I've just read that back and not sure it makes sense?

Ttc have you had any symptoms at all? You know how I love to symptom spot!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

I've just read that back and not sure it makes sense?

Ttc have you had any symptoms at all? You know how I love to symptom spot!!

had tons of symptoms but i am pretty sure they are PROGESTERONE related... :-/

nausea, sensitive nips, EXHAUSTION, headache, just plain nasty feeling...

 

[baileybubs]

Oh true yeah I keep forgetting the progesterone can be causing the same symptoms!! Fingers crossed they are all caused by more than just the synthetic progesterone though hun!!
