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

I dont know if someone gets kicked out! Kerry flicked over to some stupid programme and I missed the end. you're feeling exactly how i was feeling. I thought I must be carrying the second coming! i think thats probably the end of our s3x life now! how long have you been taking the pill for? it takes a while to build up in your system. i HATE the idea of taking hormones, I feel I've put my body through enough now but I am going to go back to the docs next week and get the pill again. i dont want another baby now, i want time with Alex xxx

 

[Sarahwoo]

I've been taking it for three weeks, and I think I've been feeling worse and worse

I feel the same about another baby, I want to enjoy Oliver. I hate taking hormones I don't know what to do

 

[A3my]

crappy isnt it! its a shame we cant just decide mentally to ovulate or not!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Haha! That would be great! An ovulation on off switch!

 

[A3my]

Awww cheryls out of the jungle. I dont know who half the people are on the ITV2 show!

H&F - I hope Dave came home and looked after you

L-C - for Will's weight. Before the cold Joni had reverted back to 5.30 waking Lets hope she goes back to 6-6.30 after the cold goes.

Sarah - for you, sorry you are feeling so crappy. I felt as rough as a badgers bum after having to take the morning after pill and it has taken me a couple of months to get back to normal

Amy - BOO to another cold I am annoyed and exasperated on your behalf! I hope the kids and Lyra went to bed quietly for you. You have plenty of time to get Alex used to spending time with others

Well Joni is still well bunged up bless her, but she went down nicely at bedtime and we have not heard a peep so far I expect to be up at least a couple of times tonight but perhaps she will suprise me I am looking after my friends LO tomorrow while she goes into work for a few hours to discuss her return. She and Joni are <1wk apart in age and get on well, when they play they like to try to eat each other I am pretty sure Joni caught the cold of this LO so there is no worries about Joni passing on the lurgy. When my friend comes to pick up her LO we are going to have lunch. I am going to make sweet potato, red pepper and chilli soup tomorrow and I have already baked a courgette and banana cake to go with our cuppa's

Right I better sign off and get myself to bed, after all I have been up since 4.55am Sending you all bug

amy - OH is the same as yours. swearing is a way to let off steam!

h&f - hope you feel better soon

frufru - did you get the drops. i got them OTC.

sarah for your mood swings

amy&sarah - i like you do not like the thought of the pill, though was on it for years before having dylan. sarah we just used condoms between the children as we thought what was the point of hormones when we wanted more. now i'm not sure. was thinking maybe the coil but OH not sure.

 

[maybebaby3]

frufru - can i have the recipe for the courgette and banana cake please? sounds yum!

 

[LogansMama]

h&f - I hope you feel better soon. Sorry about having to go through all that.

About the swearing - When Logan was a little thing, we were in the grocery store. They have carts shaped like cars that the little kids can "drive" while we are shopping. Logan started beeping the horn all nuts and screams "fkin Idiots!"!! The guy near us started laughing and I could have crawled under the shelf i was so embarrassed! And it was totally my potty mouth he picked it up from I'm sure! Especially when i'm in the car driving and would forget he's in the backseat! You can be sure i've been more careful since - but it IS a hard habit to break! Funny thing is though - i can totally edit myself at work (teacher - no choice!), but at home I "forget" a lot!

Well - anyways - our Thanksgiving dinner was DELICIOUS. Dinner was: Turkey, 2 kinds of stuffing, green bean casserole, bread, cranberry, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with the marshmellos on top... Appetizers: brie with bread, cheese and crackers, spinach dip, sangria, white wine... Dessert - 3 kinds of pie, 2 kids of cheesecake, chocolate cake.... YUM YUM AND YUM! I must have just gained 50 lbs back.

And baby Dillon ate like a starving animal! He ate turkey, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and he couldn't seem to get enough! Little piggy! LOL. It was cute!

 

[LogansMama]

Check this out! So cute! If Santa comes to your house and you have kids old enough to "get it" - do it for them. Logan's eyes almost popped out of his head. LOL!

LM - we used that website last year and the kids loved it!!!

going to get kids ready and go to town whilst dylan's in school as it's his bday tomorrow and i need to get a card and wrapping paper. cant believe he's going to be 5!!!!!!! bought him a nintendo dsi xl which he's wanted for a while.

 

[Sarahwoo]

Morning all!
I've never heard of this sweet potato and marshmellow pie thing but it sounds lovely! Can anyone point me in the direction of a recipie? Do you eat it with the main meal? Mmmmm might have to try it

I'm just waiting for my parents to arrive so they can watch Oliver while I try to make space for the sofa, I'm hoping the new one doesn't arrive until later on!!! Steve didn't get in until 4am so I guess he won't be much use today he might prove me wrong but well, we'll see. No snow here as yet so hopefully it will stay fine, its really cold though - I might just leave the heating on today

I hope everyone has a good day!!

Xx

 

[hope&faith09]

Morning all -

I am feeling a little better today - I am currently writing a huge list of things to do for the weekend - my house needs baby proofing! We need to buy a playpen that opens up so I can block off the stairs in my lounge. - Amy has tried to fall down them a number of times now she is moving!

As fir contreception ... I am having a coil fitted, the pill messes with me too much so I have been advised to have the no hormone coil which has a really good success rate.

We are hoping to get to ikea today so i can start sorting the house out ... we need another wardrobe for our bedroom and more storage for amys room.

Am also back on track with WW yay ... yesterday was well within my points and I feel super motivated ... not sure how im going to feel when i'm looking at the cakes and all sorts at ikea.

Hey guys

Have any of you got a video monitor? We've just had to get one as Amelia's started to roll in her sleep We've got the motorola one and going to try and use it but don't know how good it is, will just have to see

What's everyone up to today?

 

[LogansMama]

hannah - if she is rolling on her own - you need not worry. She'll be fine.

 

[x__Hannah__x]

Logansmama - Trouble is she can't roll back yet and get distressed if she's been on her front too long, but last night I didn't even realise because I couldn't hear her but now I can keep an eye on her

[maybebaby3]

LM are you on fb?

 

[Frufru]

Maybebaby - in the end Joni has coped with the cold pretty well so I did not get the drops. Bless her she slept through until 5.30 this morning but it was another "hello poo" situation then she had the audactity to do another poo an hour later 2 poos in as many hours from the baby that, at one point, did not poo for 15 days
Here is a link to the cake recipe: https://www.allotment.org.uk/recipe/60/recipe-for-courgette-cake/

Sarah - there is a Nigella recipe for the sweet potatoes topped with Marshmallows in her book Feast if you have it. If not let me know and I will dig out my book and send you the recipe.

Logansmama - I am glad you had a nice thanksgiving. Dillon sounds like he is doing well with his eating

Hannah - good luck with the video monitor, I only have the most basic sound monitor which I rarely use so can't really comment. Joni kept rolling in her sleep and getting stuck, I am pleased to report she has now put 2+2 together and stopped doing it but it did take a month and a half for the penny to finally drop

Joni is much better today. Still under the weather but definately improved She is really flagging now as she has only had 2x45min naps today and a 15min snooze in her buggy. Hopefully she will be so tired out she will give us a good night, I really hope so I am off out tonight to a winter ball with my work mates who I have not seen in AGES and am planning a few drinks I still have to shower and shave before I can even begin to get ready but Joni is so grumpy I am not going to be able to shower until hubby gets home and he has texted to say he is running late

I made a sweet potato, carrot and pepper soup today. I made it with a low salt stock so when the veg was cooked I took some out to puree for Joni, of course she spat most of it out

Got to go my baby wookiee is growling and demanding attention, I think I may have to break out the door bouncer

Have a lovely evening everyone

 

[Sarahwoo]

Frufru I hope you have a really great night! Sounds fab and I do have Feast! I will def look that up, thankyou!

Hannah we have a video monitor which I use on an evening before I go to bed. I love it, its a summer one. Oliver is in our room (and bed lol!) So its just for the evening time before I go to bed.

Maybe gosh how on earth did you ever manage to fit in working!!!

Our new sofa has arrived and its lovely, I'm so pleased with it! We couldn't get the old one back in the door downstairs (its a funny space) so it will have to go to the skip. At least I got my room sorted out though! I'm just getting Oliver to sleep now and then we are going to order a curry. Oliver has hardly napped at all today, I think it was all far too exciting, he's so nosy! so we will either have a great night or a rubbish one, fingers crossed for a good one!!!

Xx

 

[maybebaby3]
