Well done Will glad he s feeling better as well!

Bobby ha his MMR jab yesterday at 4pm. He of course hated it but seemed ok the rest of the day. It took him almost two hours to get sleep last night though and he woke up 3am and went back to sleep briefly and would wake up again. He kept doing that till 5am but not crying till about then. I gave him some calpol and he went back to sleep from 5.30am-8am.

We are going in for his settling in session at nursery at10am. It has bee going well so far so hopefully this continues!

Modo I thought the red fonts was my phone been wierd How many days is Bobby going to be doing in nursery? Glad the mmr went well, are his teeth still bothering him?

Emera gosh you are getting close now!! Are you all ready? Fingers crossed you get your home birth! I really fancied a water birth but then when I was actually in labour I didn't want to move

LC I hope you have a lovely day!

We are at my parents, stayed here last night while Steve is away, We spent the morning at a local farm park thing which was brilliant, we'll def be going back, Oliver loved it! They had some really lovely outside play areas, Oliver spend ages running around and now he's fast asleep

Well with the water birth at the hospital (not possible to do it at home) its a birthing suite and has 2 rooms one with the pool in and the other with a big comfy couch type bed an a birthing chair and lots of space with floor mats and stuff, so if I didn't fancy the pool It would still be a really good room to use

And yes, we are basically ready, just have some shelves to put up tomorrow and hospital bags to pack today, then its jus a case of putting sheets in he moses basket

Oohhhhhh how exciting!! I saw my cousin yesterday who I haven't seen for years, she has an almost three year old and a four month old, it was very sweet. Oliver was sooooo good with the baby though, but at one point my cousin took the baby in the kitchen because he was crying and Oliver just shook his head and shut the door

 

[muddles]

Hello everyone sorry I have been missing for a little while again. I have been feeling so rough all day every day for almost 7 weeks now and soon as Oliver is in bed I just want to sleep! I know it's a good sign to feel so sick just finding it a bit tough to do anything at all at the moment. We had our scan yesterday and the baby was bouncing up and down throughout the whole thing, which was really funny to watch. The lady doing the scan had trouble getting her measurements as the baby was bouncing so much. They have put me 5 days ahead of what I thought but I wasn't very sure of my dates. Did I tell you all that I guessed my SIL is pregnant? It turns out she is due around 2 weeks after us. How exciting.

Bearing in mind what certain people were like last time when my due date got close we are going to tell everyone that I'm due 10th August (and not the 5th like the scan said).

Also we have decided that we are going to be much tougher with visitors like my mum and my H's Nan who came many times in the early days and stayed for HOURS (and also expected us to make drinks and food. My Mum also put the present down that she had bought and said 'oh there's a present over there if you can be bothered to get up' yes ok I will just jump up and run over there as it's so easy to move around with a second degree tear and a tonne of stitches that we will visit them instead then we can leave when it's all a bit much!

Also decided that the day I get out of hospital that we are having no visitors (again this applies to my Mum who must have got in her car soon as she heard we were home-a mere 7 hours after i gave birth having had virtually no sleep the night before and this was after a number of phone calls and texts before I was even released from hospital). This is so that OLiver gets time alone with his new brother or sister to bond before visitors are there taking over meaning he wont get a look in.

Sorry I am a bit annoyed with my mum as I was away from Thursday to Sunday with Oliver and she texted me more than my H did! She wanted to know what my plans were each day and all about Oliver and when I was intentionally vague and didn't say much about Oliver she thought there must be something wrong with me. She is away now and bearing in mind I was away Thurs-Sun (so Mon a.m was spent unpacking case, doing washing and the food shop and then we had lunch and spent afternoon with friends and Tues a.m H had a doctors app so had the car and Tues afternoon I was having my scan and bloods done) she sent me a text yesterday asking if I had remembered to post the parcel (something she sold on Ebay) and when I said I hadn't had time yet and that I'd go today after toddler group she replied saying ok but don't forget as it should have beeen posted on Monday!!!!!! She lives 1 junction up the motorway from here (so around 10 miles drive). Anyway rant over and breathe. Sorry ladies.


Modo hope Bobby is ok today after his MMR. Glad the magic Calpol helped. Hope the nursery settling in session helped.

Emera that sounds lovely. I have heard they offer the home away from home at my local hospital now too with the birthing pool in the room too.

Sarah at Oliver shaking his head and closing the door.

I will need to read through lots of pages and catch up with what you have all been up to. Hope you are all well.

Hi all just wanted to check in.

Am feeling a little down at the moment after a couple of friends really putting me down. Dont want to have a full moan on here but I am sick of certain people in my life and I am finally going to cut them out.

Hope everyone is ok.

Emera - we are hoping for a home birth this time!

Muddles - I have been feeling similar ... we will be due around the same time I think!

hopefully catch up with everyone soon. x x x

 

[A3my]

very quick and pathetic but emera I'm so thrilled for you that you are likely to get transferred from high risk I remember the feeling when they did that for me with Alex

H&F - ignore your "friends", dont let them get you down honey how dare they put you down x x x

modo - hope the nursery settling session goes well

maybe - well done for getting hammered and surviving the hangover

sarah - I just love that Oliver says cheeky Daddy and mimi is so cute Alex always called me mumma until the last week and now its just Mum because he copies the girls.

LC - good boy Will for the good nights. Hope you are OK Mrs take it easy x

Muddles - glad to hear your scan went well, an active baby is a good sign

Mork - hope you, bump and T are all hunky dorey x x x

well things are naff so I cant speak about it but children wise Alex is so sweet at the moment. He's such a good boy. He tried to climb out of the bath this evening though and fell out I couldnt catch him. He is such a boy

 

[A3my]

oh Modo I hope Bobby remains ok after his MMR. Alex was a little moo for 2 weeks after x x x

 

[maybebaby3]

Reading and running! So busy! Hope to post later properly or at weekend! to all

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy Lovely to see you, Alex sounds very sweet - little monkey though climbing out of the bath!! Oliver is such a little boy too and just likes running around and sticks and puddles and mud When we park at my parents the car is on gravel and every time he gets out of or into the car there he shouts 'stones stones' and goes crazy until he gets a stone

 

[maybebaby3]

Agh Owen crying in his cot! He's given up crying for me and now he's crying for Erin to go and lie with him!

 

[Mork]

Hey all,
So nice to hear from you all I am so tried that I cant think straight to reply to you all individually, but i hope you are all ok.
We are good, i'm just so tired still in the evenings. DH is brilliant with T but he doesnt think sometimes - this am for instance he decided to do his ironing in the kitchen at breakfast time, which meanT I couldnt get T her breakfast and so she was grumpy and i ended up late for work - grrrrrrrrrrrr, men just dont think sometimes!!!!
xxxx

 

[A3my]

sarah sticks - Alex loves sticks

Mork - I cant believe you are 17 weeks already!!! how's your bump coming along? x

 

[Mork]

Oh Amy, I feel so huge! I didnt show with T till about 25 weeks, so cant believe how big i am already (tbh its actually getting me down because i feel so fat with it) xx

 

[emera35]

Amy - Nice to hear from you! Alex sounds so lovely, and such a typical boy! Roh is the same, just fearless and loves getting into muddy puddles!!

Mork - I felt massive to start with this time, but it seems to have evened out over all I've put on loads less weight this time, but started out way heavier, so now i'm slightly smaller than this point last time. I'm sure it will all even out for you too

Good to hear from everyone else too!

Gods i'm soooo grumpy all the time at the moment! I'm a horrible wife and Mum, andd both Roh and OH seem to just be putting up with it, bless them! I'm in so much pain though with the SPD, walking standing and sitting and lying down all hurt. Plus i'm a big hormone bomb Ah well, not long to go eh? Then i'll just be in tears for a few weeks whilst it all settles down

 

[Mork]

Aw Emera, big hugs to you! Like you say, its surely the hormones and soon they will be back to 'normal', hang on in there hon xxxxxxx
Im glad im not the only one to feel huge - i was bigger when i got preg with T than i am now, which is probably why i feel so massive as i was so proud of my weight loss.

[emera35]

I went from 11st 8lb before i got pregnant with Roh to over 17st when i was 35 weeks Not good! I lost a couple of st after, and went down to about 14st 8lb or something, but gained again before i got pregnant this time. Started this pregnancy at 15st exactly, and am now 15st 11lb, so its gone really well, i'm about 1 1/2 st lighter at this point than i was with Roh Hoping i'll come out of this at around 14st, which would be great

 

[Mork]

Well done you on doing so well this pregnancy emera, i am sure it must fall off when you have two to run around after (heres hoping anyway!!!) xxx

 

[emera35]

Hope so! There is also the advantage that if i try to eat anything when Roh is awake then he automatically wants it and eats about half of it!

 

[Mork]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
