Mother of all conception months Graduates

I scrubbed and scrubbed it with salt and cold water and that seemed to get the worst of it out. Need to wait on them drying to see how it turns out. I'm just so pissed as I'd literally just been to the toilet before we left so had a new tampon and still super leak. It was fantastically fun trying to explain to my aunt and uncle without crying.

So, I just got off the phone with my grandmother and what's the first thing she asks? How much weight have you gained? Honestly! Does it matter? Shouldn't it be more important that Alex is healthy and his heart rate is high?

Gilz I meant to suggest soaking in cold water, use some vanish then stick in the wash without letting it dry first. Salt can be used as a dye fixing agent but not sure that would apply to blood. Hot water is bad as it fixes the protein. There was blood all over our settee covers and that came off just fine with the handwash cycle in the washer.

And the tears have started again!!

I don't know what the frig is up with me!

Jake has been fine since DH went to work at 3pm but I just feel so overwelmed! He isn't going to be back until around 4am ish and I just want him home and I just want a cuddle!

Doesn't help that we are going to the cremotorium on Monday so Jake can meet my dad and lay down a flower and a card for him.

Just want to have a big cry with DH and I can't seem to do that because work has roped him in to do this stupid shift cover today and tomorrow!

 

[PeanutBean]

What's wrong with you Sofie is you've just had a baby and your hormones are all over the show. It sucks but it is normal and it will pass.

Nomore James is forever hurting himself I hate it! He is so accident pro and my DH is the same. I mean remember when he split his nose open at nursery on a plastic train set designed for under 1s your so right though, other people don't think the same. Even my mum said it's amazing what you forget they can get up to and she has a 4 YO and is a childminder. You know your child's own antics lol.

SK we are going next week to visit where my dads ashes are so I completely understand

Gilz plain White cheapy soap is the best thing ive ever used for blood!

Ozzie people are so untactful. I get told I'm not eating for two anymore, well screw you I am lol.

Sorry if ive forgotten anyone it takes a lot of brain power these days!

I think I was given the wrong baby. She's so quiet, she sleeps in her Moses all day.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw sk there is absolutely nothing wrong with you hun, stop worrying that you are not normal! you completely are!

i never worried about whether i was normal or not even when i shut all the doors to our flat when i was trying to get leo to sleep without rocking him and sat in the pitch black hallway (all doors leading out of it were shut and it had no windows) for a couple of hours rocking myself lol lol lol dh thought it was weird but i needed to just calm myself! it had been a very very long day lol

hun i am going to have a newborn and a toddler and a dh going back to work 5 days afterwards and am having a c section! i am absolutely bricking it and feel overwhelmed already and she isnt even here yet! of course you feel overwhelmed hun you have gone from being responsible for yourself to being responsible for a small baby who doesnt really communicate their needs well lol and doing that on your own for the first few times is overwhelming!

look at the time in small stages instead of a whole day, i used to do it in the routine of sleep, eat, burp, change. sleep eat burp change. seemed to help me when i felt like i was out of my depth i just used to get myself to the next sleep which at first was every 2-3 hours and would congratulate myself with sleep, shower, food lol

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

oh yeah ozzie i find just plain soap gets it out! good old fashioned lather of leather or whatever its called lol and then wack it in the wash xkx

edit: doi i meant oh yeah ozzie my brother asked me that today too! and gilz lather of leather! lol i need sleep

Lol! I love it. Relatives have no tact.

The first thing my dad said is 'Is your OH having the snip now?'. WTF!!?? How is my contraceptive choices any of his business??

When I told him I was pregnant he said 'Oh No.'

Well actually I am happy about thanks Dad...

 

[loopylollipop]

Sofie big , like the ladies said it is completely normal. We all feel overwhelmed at times.

 

[pinkclaire]

Loopy nearly all my family said oh no when I told them I was pregnant, well both times actually! The first time I can kinda understand, but the second no, I think I'm actually a pretty good mum, well I couldn't do more for my kids!

 

[tas1]

I feel like I'm having on of those days,I just seem to settle caleb he has fed bum changed then abit of sleep but he keeps having crying sessions where nothing works so I feel useless! I'm so tempted to put some calpol on his dummy as I can't remember when he is suppose to start teething feel like pulling my hair out! He is laid on the sofa happy as pie but 5mins ago he was screaming

Xx

 

[molly85]

caleb and abby are in cahoots. why did i wake her at 8 for a bath??? feed etc
shes been up and screamy since on and off.

i wimped out on formulafeeding she litterally drained me then a 3oz bottle as she was screaming blue murder and is now feeding again supply looks ok i am thinking growth spurt as she slept all day in the wrap.

SK insanity is normal at this stage hormones and sleep deprivation.
i usually use a boil was and stain remover. i hadblood on some white pants most came off in a 60 degree wash

 

[PeanutBean]

Loopy - I think I broke myself yesterday too helping get the big pram up steps. Feeling all prolapsy again.

 

[molly85]

every 2 hours she woke i am a zombie! full of beans now. i think this young lady might be being poked awake all day get your ownback time.

1 month old today where did that go? if only pregnancy sailed so quickly by

 

[tas1]

Don't wanna jinx myself but caleb slept maybe 7hrs when he finally fell asleep and he seems to be going 4hrs between feeds!
I also got a lie in til half 10 thanks to my OH who took caden downstairs but I still feel tired why is that!

I wish the weather would be sunny so I can put washing out instead of on my radiators! When is those two weeks of a heat wave coming?

How's everyone else this morning? X

 

[molly85]

lol you get used to the broken sleep i could have stayed up earlier but followed matts instructions andjoined them both in bed. damn absolute radio and the bouncy chair just as good as the wrap. for a quiet baby i actually got ironing done and dressed and breakfasted

 

[tas1]

Lol at least you have two ways to keep Abby quiet!

Xx

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Ugh, I'm sore!!!!!! Baby Alex was curled into my left side again in a big knot! Little poo! I'm beginning to feel really possessive of him again. I might have to leave the room when people want to hold him. Just thinking about it is making me anxious, lol!

 

[PeanutBean]

Just say no Ozzie!

We're hopefully getting a bouncy chair today. It better bloody work! We've come to the conclusion she is a whingey girl, now to be known as Whingigo.
