Oh exciting Sass!! Keep us posted!

The bank holiday is every year - it's always the first Monday in May. We also have another at the end of May too. Mays a good month!

Pink: amniotic fluid has a very specific smell to it. Earthy. Primal. Can't explain it. If what you're smelling is like amonia it is probably uric acid i.e. urine. If you have a white towel, sit on it for a while then look at the towel. If the towel is yellow, it's urine. If the towel is pink, it's amniotic fluid.

Ooooh Sass - exciting!!!! I bet that's labour. Sounds exactly how mine started. Can't believe it was almost a week ago.

Sorry I'm quiet. I didn't quite realise just how much time a newborn takes! She's feeding right now. Which I always thought would take maybe 20-40 minutes but by the time she's woken up, been changed, fed, burped, fed a bit more, changed again and then settled at the boob again for a bit that's almost 2 hours gone and time to start it again!!

She's adorable though and feeding beautiful.

I won't be posting her name on here as its very rare and googling it would bring up all my TTC stuff etc that I don't want family and friends to know. But if any of you drop me a PM I'll tell you.

On here she'll be Baby Bee.

Oh I hope so. I'm really not trying to get my hopes up. Just ordered a buffalo chicken hoagie for dinner and I plan on drenching it in hot sauce. Lol.
So how many diapers are you changing a day cupcake? DH was just telling me how nervous he is about diapers. I def know how, I just don't think I've given much thought as to how many are in my future!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Hmmm. Maybe 12-14 or so. We generally come to bed with a stack of 10 and a good night we'll use 5 but then you get times where the second we put a new one under her she'll pee. Or we'll do it up and hear a big squelch. Lol.

My DH was super nervous for changing her but he's doing great already.

I made sure he did her first one and dressed her etc. so he was actually more of a pro with her than me and it really helped his confidence from the start. While I had my after labour bath he dressed her.

 

[MightyMom]

Sass: With DD we used 16 diapers a day until 2 months.

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Also I was worried about ours being too small. She's 7lb 8oz and I got mainly new baby size 1s (4-11lb) and they're huge. Can't imagine them on a 4lb er.

Thanks turns out to be just urine from what I can tell ugh only a few more days lol I can make it through this.

 

[Sass827]

Oh thanks for the info! We only have size 1 as well. Maybe I'll go out tomorrow and buy a pack of nb size.
Great idea on having him do the first changing.
So I've been losing small amounts of plug every time I pee for the last hour or two. Still having cramps and bh but all very mild and manageable. I've been reading up and they say this can go on for days. Hope that's not the case for me! I can do this while lying on te couch but not while trying to live life for days.
Happy you got yourself sorted out pink.

 

[pinktiara]

Ya my toddler doesn't allow for much rest that's for sure haha I am surprised i havent had this baby on the kitchen floor. Carter was in newborn diapers maybe a week than he was peeing right through so this time I got a week of newborn and a week of ones than we'll go from there.

 

[jtink28]

[CupcakeBaby]

Beautiful jtink. Enjoy him. Xxxx

 

[missmayhem]

Jtink he is stunning, hope you are recovering well

Happy due date to me and all the other ladies due today.


Happy Star Wars day to everyone, may the 4th be with you! Now all I need is my little yoda to appear

 

[kezziek]

Ahh soooo beautiful jtink xxxx

Cupcake I hear on you on how long it takes to feed a newborn- it's just like practically all you do. With my first I struggled with this as I didn't realise it wouldn't last forever and I felt I should be doing other things but with my second I just enjoyed it- it's a chance to sit down- do nothing and just enjoy them they soon get quicker and more efficient and before you know it a feed is taking ten minutes and they are wanting to know all about the world and pulling off your boob every five seconds to have a good old nosey around I love babies!! I just can't wait xxx

Feeling really rought today with the sinus pain like somones punched me in my cheeks I think I probably need antibiotics to clear it up but it's a bank holiday weekend here so that won't be easy and plus I really really don't want to take them incase it upsets newborn baby if I haven't finished the course so I don't know what to do really. It might clear up on it's own I guess :-/ going to look online now to see if theres any other natural remedies or natural antibiotic style things I can try.

Ooh sass I'm excited for you! Definitely the start of things if nothing else! Send me some labour dust! X

 

[Lady H]

JT beautiful! Xx

Yes happy Star Wars day, your go Missmayhem!

 

[MightyMom]

Jtink he is PRECIOUS!! Can't wait for the story!!

Missmayhem: And also with you? LOL!

Kezz: yuck. Maybe try a netti pot?

AFM: Can't sleep!! Daddy and grandma need to get here already so I can have this baby!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Sass. My latent phase woke me up at 2:30am last Saturday morning. It was very cope able until maybe 5pm and then got hard, quick.

Bonus is this early labour is great for preparing your body. I went from 3cm to delivery in about 4 hours!

 

[Sass827]

He is just precious jt! Congrats! Can't wait to hear all about it and how your doing since.
Happy Star Wars day! I hope someone has a baby today!
I'm still feeling like I'm going to be pregnant forever, and still losing plug. How long does the plug loss usually go on for? It's so weird.
DH is terrified I'm going to go into labor tomorrow as there is a marathon in town and the route is right near our hospital lol.

 

[missmayhem]

That sounds nice and fast!! I'm prayer for a fast labour this time
