***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[24/7]

We have a little retail park nearby, has a Next, M&P, Marks, Mothercare, Debenhams and a Costa so a nice evening stroll and a drink is on the cards - I haven't really been out all week, but hopefully it might be just what Sam needs.

Just had some dairy free smarties after a little nap, now for a drink, grab the washing out the machine and back to sitting here.

Will report back on the socks, hopefully they will be good though.... xx

Ah Wud sounds like a nice relaxing day You never know this my be the calm before the storm

i think a nice strole out might be what Sam's mummy needs hun Enjoy it

OH is here fixing my bathroom, he sooooo well behaved he isnt letting me distract him

 

[24/7]

I hope so!! Sam needs to be here in the next couple of days as I shaved my legs last night for the first time in ages, and don't want to have to bother again.

Good OH!! xx

 

[Wudluvanuva1]

Do u keep thinking to yourself i wonder if this will be the last time i do this before the baby arrives?
God i do i'm trying to keep up with all the washing & ironing, even down to cleaning the bathroom & yes shaving want everything to be perfect otherwise i get stressed i've let everything lapse a bit today so maybe i'll get caught out ha ha x

 

[BizyBee]

Morning ladies! Still here with a huge baby bump. I don't feel like he's coming for a while. Tried walking yesterday and so hope to get things moving this weekend.

Afternoon!

Well i was in labour lol

Had my little man at 11:50am. We had to stay in until 12 midnight as there was meconium when he came out and he had a bit of trouble with his temperature but he seems fine now apart from very sleepy.

He's called Joshua William Jones and he weighed 7lbs 8oz.

Don't suppose any of you 2nd time mums have any advice? He is hardly drinking any milk at all and i don't know whether it's because he's tired or what. I don't even know how much he should be drinking at this age. I told the midwifes i didnt want to breastfeed and apparently no one seems very supportive now!

 

[24/7]

Congratulations Meow - You can give me and new some hope of one day giving birth!!

We have the SMA starter bottles and they each contain 100ml, and I remember my friend saying her LO just had a few sucks out of each one at a time for the first few days, then started feeding properly. xx

 

[meow951]

Thanks 24/7 I feel abandoned and dont really have a clue what im doing tbh Plus i'm knackered!

 

[24/7]

Her LO was deinately the same as she said she got through so many bottles/milk as she just had little and often.

Hope you are feeling better soon. xx

 

[mummy3]

Congrats meow I remember the bottle fed babies in NICU getting anything from 30-40mls ( these were the bigger nearly term babies). I'm sorry you feel abandoned

Wiggler, omg at your neighbours! Just do what you need to do hun and screw them. Yay for Bethany sleeping better.

24/7 If he's bashing your bladder that much I'm sure he's engaged hun. Enjoy your evening.

New, drink more! Lol yeah you need drink loads for bfing, I try and drink 3 cups of water everytime I feed or pump.

Wud

Span I remember the time I accidently had a vindaloo

Bizy, good luck with eviction.

Wild, no playing with the gas and air

Going swimming this morning here, Eilidh only had me up at 1am, she slept 8 30 to 1am then 1 30 to 5 30am She has maybe 1 night a week like that so I make most lol.

 

[24/7]

Well done to little Eilidh!!
All will be revealed on sunday as to whether or not Sam has engaged - No change in where I feel him and no pressure, so I won't get my hopes up!! xx

 

[BizyBee]

Yay Mummy! Good for Eilidh.

Happy due date 24/7

Congrats Meow! Can't wait for pics.

 

[BizyBee]

Congratulations Meow - hope you get the feeding sorted.

Mummy - good little Eilidh.

Bizy - your nursery is lovely! I love the picture frame and pics too.

24 - really hope you get some proper action from Sam this weekend!

I've just got home after popping into work for some insulin and needles for my cat. Also wanted to see the bosses dogs 8 week old puppy (now owned by one of the other vets) and he is soooo cute! He's very chilled out though is at that mouthing stage and has such sharp teeth. Saw a couple of nice clients while I was there which was cool.
I had quite a few BHs on the train on the way home - about every 5 minutes or so but they settled down as soon as I got home. I'd spent a lot of time on my feet and dashing from tube to train etc. Dragging hubby out for a walk later.

Here's some puppy pics (the vet is like a proud father bless him). He's a tricolour springer spaniel:

 

[24/7]

Aww, cute puppy!! xx

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Congrats Meow!!

Yes, it is fine that he's not eating as much right now. 4 feed, and at least one poop and one pee within the first 24 hours is what is considered normal. His feeds will pick up over the next few days, so don't worry.

Anberlin and Isaiah both had the same issues but by day 3, Isaiah was feeding like a pro, and Anberlin, well, she just has her days and nights mixed up and wants to feed for 6-7 hours straight in the night. My poor nips!

Congrats again!!

 

[new_to_ttc]

yay! Congratulations meow!!! Great name Joshua didnt like his milk too much either, he didnt feed very well but he thrived and it was just what he needed. What pain relief did you have? he may be a little sleepy from that, birth is as traumatic for him as it is for you Give him a few days you'll see what he needs. If he is settling between feeds he is getting what he needs xxxx

Great nursery Bizy

Mummy so glad Eilidh had a great night
