Moms of April/May/June 2010 babies thread! :)

[Windmills]

Oh yeah- Hannah, maybe is right, Mothercare do lovely long sleeve vests, Daisy has some with elephants on. Think they're about £12 for 5.

 

[A3my]

Sorry Amy I didn't mean to be rude or upset you, I just meant if you are then I'm sure Kerry will come around again xxx

you didnt upset me silly!! you're right, I'm sure if I was that he would come round in the end. not much choice really if a bubba comes along! Thats so cute Daisy cries when Summer cries, they're gonna be bestist buds

sarah - I wouldnt stop the mini-pill, I bet AF is because of Oliver weaning and not the pill. Did oliver have a few nights where he slept longer (before he got the snuffles)? That might have had an effect x

modo - are you feeling better now? hope you are having a lovely time in Dubai x

Well as for me, still no AF but I'm not stressing about it anymore. I still feel a bit wierd but I talked to my sister who is a doctor and she reckons its the domperidone stopping AF and making me feel wierd. Kerry doesnt seem to worried either, probably becasue he is all focused on his baby Lyra Alex was a but hard to settle tonight, think its his teeth.

FruFru - Joni's pressie looks very cute! Its so sweet that she likes Waybuloo, Oliver always gets grumpy when it comes on He quite likes In The Night Garden but I'm not keen, mean mummy! I have Button Moon and Bagpuss on DVD, I'm going to put them on one day and see what he thinks - he can be a retro baby I hope you get your window fixed soon, when we first moved in here there was no double glazing and we actually thought the windows were pretty good - but we got them done a couple of years ago and had extra loft insulation etc put in and gosh there is such a difference! We were wondering why Oliver's room always seemed cold, until I remembered that I turned the radiator off
I hope you have a really wonderful time this weekend - def make the most of it and have a massage, lots of bubble baths, the odd glass of wine etc!

Katie gosh your heating is so expensive! Is that gas or electric? I never think twice about putting the heating on, ours is quite a warm house anyway, and the lounge has the sun on a morning so its always lovely and toasty. We still have the heating on quite a bit though. I have no idea how much we pay though - but I'm sure if it was too much Steve would moan at me

Hannah I have bought the bigger size sleeping bags (which Oliver doesn't like ) from John Lewis, Mothercare (the grobag ones) and Ikea of all places! I actually really like the Ikea one Long sleeved vests, I just buy from Asda / Primark in plain colours as I just put them underneath things. He also has a couple of nicer ones from Next for wearing under things were you can see it, if you get me!

Oh, and I have another bargain for you all I have these for Oliver . . . I found the sizes big, 6-9 are still way too big for him, they are really, really long so might be good for the long babies? But for this price what a bargain!! In pink and blue at the lower price

Hi Modo! Hope you are having fun!

Amy I'm sure everything will work out I'm so tempted to stop taking the mini pill . . . you think I should keep going? Do you think it will settle down? It doesn't really feel like a period, I felt a bit dodgy earlier but I've always had really awful periods with loads of pain and it just doesn't feel like that. So could it be not a real period, more of just because of the mini pill? Argh I bloomin hate contraception!!!!!!

Well I got to the post office and the library but the weather was so awful! We ended up taking the car and I just dashed in. We then went to Sainsburys, we normally go to Asda but I fancied a change. I have to say though my shopping normally comes to about £50 and today it was £70, and I didn't even buy any of the big occasional items like cat food / washing powder etc I think I'll be back at Asda next week

We have baby club tomorrow, I hope the weather picks up!

Hope you all had a good day

sarah - that does actually sound like pill induced bleeding. What brand is it? have you taken the mini-pill before? x

 

[Sarahwoo]

No, I've never taken it before . . . I was on Microginon (sp?) for years. Its called Femulen? Do I keep taking it?

 

[A3my]

Here is a picture of Lyra snoozing on the settee tonight

 

[A3my]

I couldnt take micrgynon - made me really grumpy I've never taken femulen but I took cerazette (which was a mini pill) and that made me bleed/spot for probably a couple of weeks before things settled down (after that I had no periods on it for years!). I think it is a side effect of PO pills that you get bleeding at the start but I'd carry on if you want to be on the pill. I wish I had taken mine now, I was just worried about my milk!

 

[Sarahwoo]

I'll keep going then and hope it settles down soon. Thanks Amy - you're a star

Lyra is so cute!!! Is she okay now after her little accident?

 

[x__Hannah__x]

Sarah - I was thinking of getting one of the bigger sleep bags but worried that she would be able to get her head through Regarding the sleepsuits, that's a bargain especially for John Lewis Amelia's still in 0-3 sleepsuits at the moment we've got some 3-6 ones but they swamp her at the moment

Amelia was hard to settle tonight, think she's teething real bad, she's been whinging all day today and when I put her down to bed she just screamed and screamed and screamed, soon as I put some gel on her gums she calmed down and fell asleep

Me and my OH have finally decided we're going to get married September next year and I can't wait

 

[A3my]

yes I think she is now thanks Sarah - no more blood in her poop and she's eaten better and her tummy isnt so swollen. DH is still on his sickie! x

Hannah - congratulations! thats lovely news x

 

[Sarahwoo]

Yay Hannah - congrats!!! I love a wedding, well I should really considering what I do

Amy I can't believe your OH is still pulling a sickie!!! I guess he'll just take the full week now What has he said is wrong?

 

[x__Hannah__x]

Sarah - I've just taken a look at your page, the things you make are absolutely beautiful

I really hope Amelia gets a tooth it's really getting me down seeing her in pain

 

[A3my]

sarah - he said he caught a sick bug off the girls he's besotted with Lyra, he thinks he deserves paternity leave for her. bless.

Hannah - poor Amelia, they do all seem to teeth for a long time with the first teeth but maybe she'll get hers quite soon? xx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Thanks Hannah I also do wedding chair covers and things, this is my website . . . www.lovelyweddings.co.uk I recently re-did it my website so I'm all proud and showing it to anyone who'll look

I saw how bad things are in Cornwall with all the flooding and things - is everything okay where you are?

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy thats so funny, what are men like? still it could be worse, some of the guys Steve works with actually took holiday from work just to play the new 'Call of Duty' game I expected Steve to want it, he used to play on his xbox quite a bit. He bought the game for his son but it wasn't delivered in time, so he bought another one and said he would send the first one back. I expected him to end up playing him but he didn't - he sent it back! He actually said today that he's thinking about selling his xbox because he'd rather be playing with Oliver! The damn thing is brand new too, his old one broke just before Oliver was born so he bought this one, but then Oliver arrived and he hasn't played on it since!

 

[x__Hannah__x]

Amy - I really hope so although I can't see anything yet but her gums are very very hard

Sarah - Wow I've just taken a look, very impressive I'm not sure about colour scheme or anything yet but i'll keep you in mind hun

Everything's okay where I am, I'm about an hour away from where it was really bad today, I just really hope it doesn't come down here don't think I could cope!

 

[A3my]

sarah - I did use to be a COD widow but he's lost interst too thats lovely what Steve said

hannah - I forgot you live in cornwall, hope the floods stay away xx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Hannah any time you need any wedding advice etc just shout Its a shame not closer, I could have cut you a deal I hope the bad weather stays away from you!!

Amy I know, it made me smile

 

[Frufru]

Katie - how is your shoulder today, any better? How cute that Daisy loves Summer Joni started taking an interest in other babies about a month ago, we went out for a coffee with a friend the other day and she was holding hands with my friends little boy and cooing at him

Modo - thanks, Joni chatting is one of my favorite things in the world Are you feeling any better?

Maybebaby - Typical that the walker got peed on Hopefully the seat bit is washable. Did you have a nice time watching the movies? Any of them good? I watch so much less TV now Joni is here. If it was not for V+/sky+ I would not ever get to see anything!

Amy - about Kerry's paternity leave for Lyra I hope you got Alex settled ok last night in the end Lyra is a beauty

Sarah - I spent over an hour yesterday chain-drinking cups of tea to combat feeling cold and even resorted to cleaning the bathroom to warm myself up. It was only afterwards I realised the heating was off as I had not clicked it back on when JOni and I came home from baby singing
Thanks for the heads up on the JL sleepsuits Joni has had JL sleepsuits in 3-6 and I have to say they wear and wash up really well. I have been given loads of sleepsuits in 6-9 already so I think I will buy some in 9-12 and put them away.
Hubby loves COD. He hates adverts on tv and will often turn the sound off while they are on, however the other day an advert for Black Ops was on and he actually shouted at me when I walked past the tv obscuring his view He did apologise later. He got the game yesterday so I know what he will be doing when Joni is napping and sleeping while I am away on the weekend To be fair though hubby has hardly played his Xbox since Joni was born, it is only in the last month and a half he has been able to find time to play.

Hannah - CONGRATULATIONS I hope Hannah had an ok night with her sore gums

It is vaguely light outside now and the forecast is for cloud so I am considering I doubt it will dry much but it is nice to get some fresh air through it. I've not got much planned for today really, just pottering about the house and maybe a jaunt into the city later on.

Well I have EPIC news!!!!! Last night the unthinkable happened..... JONI SLEPT THROUGH ALL NIGHT SHe more-or-less slept through the previous night but did wake and cry a few times. HOwever, last night she went down at 6.50, we heard a couple of murmurs around 10 and she woke up at 6.30 Of course I was wide awake at 5.30 I can hardly believe it given that less than 2 weeks ago she was waking anything from 4-10 times a night, sometimes every hour and I was lucky to get 3 hours of broken sleep. When we sleep trained her I just wanted to cut her wakings down to 1-2 times a night with a feed at one of those, I never dreamt or dared hope she might actually sleep through anytime soon. SO to those of us still suffering broken nights there is hope, if Joni can do it anyone can!

Got to dash, JOni is grumbling as it is nearly naptime

 

[x__Hannah__x]

Frufru - That's great news, well done Joni! Hope it continues for you
