Good vid Maybe

And yes i'm BF, milk came in today, holy crap i forgot how sore it was being engorged!!!

Its all so much easier second time round, loads less stress! Not sitting crying in the middle of the night because she's crying and all that

She's very sweet and looks alot like Roh

Roh likes her lots and tonight wanted to keep cuddling her, and to share his milk with her. He also tried to clean her teeth

the bf worries Roh a bit, if he sees me he says "oh no Mummy, mipple owie, owie!!" he thinks she must be biting me i assume. Bless him

Freyja had her 3 day weight check, she lost 2oz, about 2% of her birth weight. I'm really happy with that

to you all

[maybebaby3]

it went really well we raised over £2000 i spent £20 on cakes, bouncy castle gos, crafts that kids could make there and raffle tickets but i won a £20 for a local restaurant so that is good. now trying to think of a night we can get someone to babysit so we can go out! will have to be next month though as our freezer broke the other day so that's £400 :S not good when we've just paid flight and a deposit for accomodation of £1000 togo to disneyland paris again in october half term :O

Happy mothers day everyone

 

[emera35]

Happy Mothers' Day lovely Mummies!!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Happy mothers day everyone :flowers:

Steve has got me a grand total of nothing for mothers day, not even a card He's had plenty of chance to get something - he could have even made a card with Oliver - but no He hasn't even got up to have breakfast with us. I'm so upset but I don't want Oliver to see. All I wanted was a card from Oliver, I don't even care about a pressie. A card and a nice family breakfast would have done me.

He can't even say its because he's been working because he's been off all week. Even yesterday he had an appointment on his own in the morning so he could easily have just called at the supermarket or something and got me a card. Or he could have made one.

Oh Sarah I am so sorry hon What was Steve thinking?!!! There is no excuse Like you said he could have made a a card Maybe he has a hidden pressie for you hon?

 

[modo]

Happy Mother's Day my lovely girls

Maybe: your video made me cry!

 

[maybebaby3]

Oh Sarah danny didn't get me anything, the kids all made stuff in school/nursery so he didn't have to bother. It's bad of Steve as Oliver doesn't know it's mother's day. Men are crap sometimes danny was saying to me last night what a commercial hype and crap. He doesn't understand the sentiment behind it! I even had to get his mum a card as he wouldn't have bothered! Will have to write it myself too as he's sleeping after a night shift!

 

[maybebaby3]

Sarah maybe you can go out for a nice family lunch instead?

 

[Sarahwoo]

Thanks ladies

Nope Modo there just wasn't a card Apparently he's bought me a print but it hasn't arrived yet. Which is really nice don't get me wrong, I appreciate that he bought me something. I would have liked a card though.

In a way I shouldn't be suprised - he didn't get me a Christmas card from Oliver, or a valentines day card (from himself), so I guess this is just how it is. I always make a fuss of him on 'his' days but maybe I shouldn't bother? He does seem to be sorry. I asked why he didn't make a card with Oliver and he said because I'm always there so he didn't get chance. I said why didn't you tell me to go take a nice long soak in the bath and do it then, and he just said he didn't think. I think the thing is he just doesn't think - but how hard can it be? And then if I'm upset he gets arsey with me because its not a big deal etc etc.

He does seem to be sorry but I don't think he realises just how upset I am about it. I am thinking about asking my mum to take over the Oliver purchases / cards etc - I know its a dad's job but what about when he gets older? I don't want him been all upset thinking he's not got me anything

 

[modo]

Sarah: I am sorry hon but it's no excuse. I saw my flowers and chocs yesterday because Bobby had a meltdown while Ben was in the queue paying for them. So I had to pay for the items while Ben took Bobby to the car. It's doesn't matter to me because that's life with a toddler and at least he made the effort. It is one day in the year for god's sake and Ben helps me LOADS with B. So I don't have it as hard as a lot of other women but I still would have expected something as B is too young to get it. He needs to think more about you and your feelings!

 

[L-C]

Happy Mother's Day to you all, sarah that's rubbish of Steve really, I'd have bought you one!!

I had a car from nursery, my favourite, one from Mark from Will and a slab of dairy milk, he tried to get flowers but they had all gone lol!!! Will walked over and said mmmmm when he handed me the choc. I then had three from my Mum quite unecessary really and she'd even got one from the bloody dog. Just to rub salt in the wound - typical!!

I hope you all have a lovely day and Sarah you manage to have a lovely day you are such a fab Mummy xx

We're not up to much today, Will has just slept and I got a load of ironing done and dug out my old change bag to wash.....still had tiny baby things in sooooo cute.

Think we are about to go and build a chest of drawers for the baby's room. Should be interesting with a helper!

Lots of love to you all xxxx

 

[Sarahwoo]

I know Modo, you are right. I wouldn't have minded seeing it in advance etc, it wouldn't have bothered me at all I don't know if he didn't realise until it was too late or what Oh well, its done now.

We've still had quite a nice day, got some more of the garden done and Oliver has had a lovely time playing outside. Steve is just making some ice cream with him now. I'm just looking at it as a normal day now, no point in been upset because it can't be changed.

It sounds like you ladies all got spoilt as you should Hope you all have a fabby day xx

 

[modo]

Sarah: Hopefully Steve won't let it happen again. Hope you have a lovely day

H&F: Yum your dairy milk sounds lovely! So cute how Will brought it to you

 

[emera35]

Sarah - Definitely tell Steve how it makes you feel for him not to sort these things out! Even if he gets grumpy and thinks you are mad he should at least get the message and so if he forgets in the future you can go nuts "legitimately". You know if Oliver knew it was Mothers' Day he'd have made you something, and that's what is important, you are a fabby Mummy!!

I got a hastily filled in card (heard OH telling Roh to draw in it this morning in the kitchen ) with some money inside so I can treat myself to something. Had my Mum here for the day too, which was nice. OH cooked us a roast and we watched the F1 on the bbc. A pretty nice day all in all I guess most notable was I actually managed to eat my lunch without one child or the other waking up! Ace! Had a glass of fizz too, as we had it for celebrating the birth, but I've not felt like any alcohol until now. That was nice!
LC if Roh had chocolate in his hand, wrapped or not, there is no way in hell he'd give it up without a serious fight!

 

[L-C]

I had to share it there and then, choc in bed isn't bad though!! there is now choc on bed too though!

Sounds like you've had a lovely day emera!!

Our day has seriously not been idylic since my cards, Will woke up a complete grump then had the biggest tantrum ever over a screwdriver that he wasn't allowed. He finally recovered then fell off his bike and has a shiner on his cheek.

I have just cooked roast pork, Will ate all but the veg, which seems to be par for the course. thank goodness he eats fruit and salad.

I'm so gutted, I had no stretch marks last time and this time, because I'm so huge, I seem to be covered in them and it's all really painfully itchy. I could cry, anyone else the same?? Taken shares in bio oil but nothing seems to be helping and still just over 8 weeks to go xx

 

[emera35]

LC I was the same with stretchies barely anything last time just one or two little ones. Admittedly I was pregnant like 6 weeks longer this time but still even at 35 weeks I was a tiger. Rawr!
