Mother of all conception months Graduates

It's so easy for men to forget about their babies,I jump straight up if caden or caleb cry but my OH takes 10mins to wake up actually I don't know how long it is because I'm always straight up!
Your DHs mate sounds horrible I'm sure I've said that before! Wu wouldn't you want your baby close to you!

My OH doesn't argue with any decisions I make now because he knows I'll do what I want,when he does everything then he can tell me but til then I know whats best! I've asked for his opinion but he never gives it or is total opposite and I'm thinking why did we have kids because I thought we was on the same wave length!

It breaks my heart when my babies cry even when I have told caden off and he cries it crushes me! They don't need to cry unless there is something major wrong with them!
Now I sound too soft lol

I find I can't eat if Alex is crying. My stomach goes in knots. DH says just to let him cry and eat my food, but it tears me up to know he's in distress while I'm eating

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Oh and my grandmother is driving me mad! She keeps insisting on calling him "Little Al" and I swear I could kill her when she does it!!!!!!! ALEX! HIS NAME IS ALEX!!!!

I hate it when people try to shorten names,people call me tash and I hate it I dont mind tasha but my name is Natasha! That's why I chose names that no-one could shorten for my boys,my sister and BIL winds me up by calling caden cad and my FIL calls him ka and I'm like that's not his name so be won't answer you!!

I'm just having cuddles with caleb as he won't settle being laid on his own and although I would love to be in the garden getting a tan I love this more!

I cant continue eating either if hes crying, if found a very selfless side to me since having Bailey, he ALWAYS comes before my needs, but DH would carry on eating or the same for any similar sinareo.

 

[tas1]

Sounds like me and my OH cat! Caden and Caleb have everything before me but my OH does what he wants! Same with clothes my OH gets lovely clothes but whatever spare money I get I buy something for boys including birthday money so people get me vouchers so I can spend it on myself! It's a mother thing I think

[PeanutBean]

If it's a mother thing I dunno where DH learnt it! He's so attentive to Byron I do sometimes think he needs to step back a little. And the eating thing is a bit different if you bf. I often eat cold/burnt food that's been interrupted and regularly eat crap as it's fast but I do try to eat something or I'll end up risking my milk supply.

It is easier as babies get older. You learn their different cries and can distinguish between whinging and real need. Also with second kids they naturally have to be left a bit longer sometimes.

Caden has been with my inlaws all day and sounds like he had a good day! A few things that has annoyed me which my OH said I'm nit picking these are:
1.he came home in new pants just pants because he didn't put his willy in the toilet properly and wet his pants and trousers,now as a mummy I did prepare for that so put spare pants trousers and socks in his bag,so they said they had some spares at their houses so used them (he doesn't go round that often so not sure why they have spares) so I said did he have two accidents coz he had spares in his bag they said oh I never thought to look in there......why would I give you a bag then
2.I gave him some juice in his bottle as Capri suns and fruit shoots give him the runs but I understand that one bottle of juice isn't enough for a whole day so thought they would buy him some drinks but his juice bottle is still full,they know fruit shoots and Capri suns give him the runs coz I've told them millions of times
3. Caden went on this dance thing on the wii (he went to a big show so they had different stalls,it was in the village the inlaws are from) and apparently he was really good and cute but MIL made out that random people were stopping and taking pictures of him......erm I hope not I don't mind people I know taking pics but not strangers!!!!

Am I being unreasonable? I just want common sense to be used when my son is out with anyone....it's easier to tell my parents the dos and donts but if I tell my OH to tell his it's I'm nit picking

gah i do hate people who dont follow "the rules" i really do, i think sometimes though they just want to make sure they are liked and give them things that their parents specifically do not to 1. look good to the child and 2. doesnt matter to them as they do not have the runs to look forward to the next day or the hyper kid at midnight on a sugar high

my mum is looking after leo whilst i have the c section and honestly i am not dreading it as suchbut i am dreading what state he is going to come back home in, he is a fussy eater but still gets very good things eg will not beg for chocolate he hasnt had any for weeks, he loves muslei you can see where i am going the things he likes are actually healthy things BUT if someone says oh lets go get a cake, lets get some ice cream, some chocolate that is it! and he is a hyper little thing when he has too much of a good thing!

update on wasp situation: went absolutely balistic this morning when i was greeted by 7 wasps which rapidly increased to 10 within 30 mins all before 8am so said we are going out, buying some filler you call rentokil and ask where are you! the number of wasps today has so far been 15 at 3pm rentokil came and we got the guy to help us fill in all the holes in the ceiling and TOUCH WOOD i havent seen a single wasp since! even if i have to kill one or two day that is a vast vast vast improvement on 15 by 3pm! yes!

am happy because dh bought me a wispa, its been one of those days where only a nice bar of cadburys once dh is back at work, leo is in bed and the house is just mine will make me feel better! i now do ! nom nom!

 

[tas1]

Caden has just told me he has a top at grandma Karens (inlaw) that says here comes trouble........now if she asked me if she could get this top I would say no (again not sure why he has clothes at hers we don't go there it's not clean enough for me and she has two dogs that go everywhere and eats and drinks off plates that leftovers on) but I don't buy caden or caleb with anything that brands them trouble or monsters etc because he's not trouble or a monster it's not nice to put them in anything like that (sorry if anyone does but anything like this but it's not for me) so annoying now after I've said it's a horrible saying because he means your naughty and your not so he shouts at me!

Great news about the wasps I hope none come through! Bet you can start to relax now starting with the chocolate bar lol

My OH is in the kitchen baking me a cake for my birthday tomorrow

Hi Ladies :wave:

Tas I dont think your a bad mummy I just think your doing your best with a fussy eater We had Oliver tell us this afternoon he wouldnt have one of the honey granola yogurts offered because he didnt like them when he really only said this because he wanted one of the ones we bought with choc sauce in it as a treat DH got the honey sauce out of the cupboard and put some on a spoon and ate it Oliver was all intrigued and asked what it was and asked if he could have some so DH gave me some on a spoon after Oliver commented it was really nice DH said to him` thought you did like honey????` lesson learnt if he thinks something better is on offer he will always refuse what he deems second best ... he sat and ate the honey granola yogurt with gusto and I totally get your inlaws gripe why do `some` grandparents lack any bloody common sense grrrrrrrrrrr!

madcat I have left Charlie to CIO because I have tried absolutely everything and on occasion have felt me trying to `help` was just making him feel worse I havent enjoyed those times and tbh would have much preferred been able to settle my Son Charlie has turned a corner it seems fxed however I must say that the fact that Bailey likes to be held it a totally upright postion makes me think he could have silent reflux because I often find doing what Molly says she does with abby works well with Charlie too over the shoulder patting his bum in rhythm ..... this obviously helps Charlies silent reflux Charlie was worse on an evening than the rest of the day too and settled between 8.30-9pm Also I note you say Bailey stops crying as soon as you pick him up! Charlie does this and we now realise its because the reflux/colix is detressing him and whilst hes in our arms he feels comforted remember me saying Charlie was perfectly happy all day if I carried him around but as soon as I put him down the distress started my back is fooked from constantly carrying him which is why am so happy gaviscon is working for us my poor back is getting a much needed rest

Peanut so sorry to hear about your poorly doggy

Ozzie are you feeling any better blah for nasty bugs and take no note of your DH ever since my DH grabbed Charlie off me for tucking him into bed at the side of me and we had words he dared not say anything to me now about it

on the improved wasp front NOMORE

and Tas get your OH cake baking

 

[tas1]

Ironically he has made a bee cake! Sorry Kate! It's only because me and caden saw it on the hive on playhouse Disney and caden said he's gonna make me a cake like that!
It looks really good I'll try and put it up on here or fb if I can

Xx

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

ha ha ha leo loves the hive too lol fingers crossed but still no wasps yet!!! yes yes yes!!

i want another choccie bar now lol no no no, decided that i have let myself have way to many treats lately, i know i cant really control it too much but if i put on 3 stone including the stone i will put on and lose due to it being all baby related then i will feel a bit better. i have put on 2 1/2 already, have 8 weeks left, am supposed to put on 1/2 a week thinking i might just manage it . . .

 

[tas1]

That's a good weight gain! Think I put 2 stone and half on but after Christmas I started doing slimming world which helped me maintain my weight,I put way too much on with caden and I had gained a stone from my thyroid so I really didn't wanna put loads on!

And you can treat yourself your pregnant lol I still use that coz my belly looks 3-4 months pregnant lol

Xx

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

omg switched on a light a guess what attracted a wasp.. . hoping it has been hiding in here since before rentokil came. . . remain positive

baby is reinacting the film alien at the moment, i think she wants to push her way out lol she is pushing out so far that it is actually hurting a little bit!

i can actually feel with my fingers the outline of an elbow or knee!

dh has wonderful timing he came up right as it was happening! he normally misses her freaky kicks lol

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

thanks taz i retain a lot of water too so hoping some of it is that.. . i have been treating too much though, dont get me wrong am not going to calorie count but just going to make sure that the gateux, choccie bars, ice cream tubs and takeaways get pushed back a lot, i actually feel unhealthy and sluggish so time to just keep an eye on it methinks lol

sounds bad but this time i can not wait to diet! i lost all my baby weight in 9 months with leo doing it slowly and even then was only 9 months because i had my wedding as a deadline lol i am sure i could have gone even slower lol this time i think ijust feel so unsexy and unhealthy and have put that down to the weight when actually it is prob more to do with the puking, burping and farting lol

 

[molly85]

tas i kinda like those tops but there always for boys im not keen on the princess ones shes my little monster.

goodday for abby seeing all the family bfed beautifully then demolished a 3oz bottle

matt can't stand crying but doesn't have a foggiest over what crying is what. today though she has been all smiles

 

[sequeena]
