Mother of all conception months Graduates

[vbaby3]

Hi ladies!!
Well I caught up this morning,and didn't have time to post so I've forgotten loads
Sofie I got my period at 10wks both times,so expecting it anyday now.I remember 1 month it was so painful I actually thought I was in labour again

Thats lovely you're thinking of fostering pink.My mam and dad were foster parents,and had over 60 babies and young children over 25yrs.Very fulfilling,and I am in awe of my mam.I could never do it though,I don't know how she gave them back,some of them were with us for over a year,from they were born
Thats where my wee sister came along,she was a foster child that we had from birth who went up for long term foster care so my mam and dad applied to keep her,which they did.Thank god,couldn't imagine life without her
Hope you boobies are getting better,sounds like torture.x

Madcat I never left my lil 1's to cry it out at this age.Although obviously with 2 others to look after Teagan is sometimes left a little longer than say shay was,just a case of only having 2 hands lol!
I did however leve them cry it out wheh they were older,I knew the difference between a genuine cry and a being naughty cry,you'll know bailey inside out and will know his ways too.But I don't think a baby as young as ours should be left to cry unless its for your own sanity and you need to leave the room for a breather!

Molly looks like Teagan will be going out to her own room soon too,she's starting to look very big in the basket.Her cot could fit in our room but it would be completely in the way and block our ensuite
I'll leave her a couple of wks more and see how I feel.

Belated happy birthday tas

Madly so glad the gaviscon is working,hope it works for bailey too madcat.We got to the point that nothing seemed to work for teagan,She seems to just gradually be getting better day by day.FINALLY she has started to drain some of her 4oz bottles so I've started making her 5oz,a very good sign as I think anymore than 2 was causing her so much pain before.Wonder what she weighs now.
Peanuty Indigo is a great weight now,and ozzie Alex sounds like he's doing great too.

As for me,I had an amazing wk end!!!!
Missed my kids no end,but did me the world of good.It was quite the session,so plenty of booze and dancing,and we had a jacuzzi in our hotel roomso took full advantage lol!!
It was just so lovely to relax with dh and friends and not be constantly looking after someone else at the same time,just me lol!
We didn't get to sleep until 5.30amneedless to say I died a death on sunday,and boy is it a long day when all you can think about is your bed lol!

Dh had yesterday booked off and it was the most beautiful day here,so we got the bar bee out and the paddling pool for the boys and relaxed all day,the perfect end to the perfect long wk end

Vbaby sounds like you had a fab time, dont envy your hangover though. Glad Teagan is making progress in the right direction

Peanut we have talked about adoption/fostering. We have both said it's something we'd like to consider but we have friends who were at the last stage of adoption process and they were really pushing her to be a stay at home mum. We couldn't afford for me to do that and if I said no I think it would count against us given my OH works away. It's something we'd need to look into once Noah was a little older.

 

[molly85]

gilz look at long term fostering then you get an allowance i am not sure on adoption. You could then stay home. but never give up on science making advances so you can have your own.

Didn't make it to the group again i feel like crap i think its just those dodgy nights when matt was off. will try again tomorrow

 

[Sofiekirsten]

N'Awww Jacob weigh's 7lbs 13oz!

They are happy with his progress and are amazed at how long he is!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Yay Jacob! I must have a big baby, lol!

 

[pinkclaire]

It's ok Ozzie lottie was 10lb 4oz on Friday!

 

[tas1]

Evening ladies,

Damn this baby brain I just got caught up with all the posts and went go get cadens DVD charger and forgot!

Glad you had a great weekend vbaby!!

And glad all babies are gaining weight!! When i got caleb last week he was 14lbs 11oz so your babies seen tiny compared to that!

Sofie my first period was 10wks but I had cramping for weeks and they were bad then on the first day of my period I was in loads of pains i described them as mild contractions!

Well today we have been to sundown adventure land,it was good for caden he loved running around! It was really hot though! Caleb had a little look round had a photo in the wanted picture it was cute,I'll have to do a big post of all the photos I've taken so you can see!
Just watching a thing with naughty teens and it's awful I would hate it if caden or caleb was like this,I hope I teach my boys good and they grow up to be nice boys

Xx

Evening Ladies :wave:

Thank you Ozzie and madcat

Peanut I cannot believe Indigo nearly weighs the same as Charlie he was 11lb7oz yesterday and is on 25th centile sods law you shaved your legs and it that so happens to me grrrrrrrrr!

vbaby sounds like Teagan has turned a corner because she able to feed better I sincerely hope so it really is pants Sounds likes you had the perfect weekend glad you had fun and let your hair down

Wow Pink lottie is now at Charlies birthweight

SK as for the return of AF OMG is all I can say I didnt think she would rear her ugly head because I had the depo jab a few weeks ago and it stops my periods but I guess my cycle was already in progress She arrived on Friday evening not too bad very light (which is great cause I have been known to have extremely heavy periods - sorry tmi but run down leg when you stand up type ) well yesterday morning and this morning after getting up I have been literally rolling around in pain so damn painful I could hardly walk .... I have been knocking back the pain relief and tbh it I didnt know different I could have mistaken them for been in labour again because they really have been that intense and nasty I am hoping this is not a sign of things to come every month and the depo kicks in and works as it use to

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Oh I love sundown adventure land Tas glad you had a fun day

 

[tas1]

Lol i didn't realise you was from around here madly, it is good but quite expensive £10 each even caden so I tried to get our monies worth lol

Poor Charlie. Hopefully he'll starr piling it on now though.

I'm feeling weirdly optimistic about the future. DH has a contact recommending him to a publisher he is submitting his book to. Plus his editor at one of the mags he writes for wants to also a comic anthology with him which would involve pay. He's not sure if the latter will come to anything yet as the guy had bags of ideas that I guess don'g always own out but the possibility of him earning sufficient extra income for me to quit after my three months at work even without a job to go to is very exciting! Together with the MSc and I've contacted the new person at one of my local Wildlife Trusts about volunteering again. Life weeks full of possibility at the moment which is hood as we otherwise don't know how on earth we will afford to live after my leave!

 

[molly85]

Sounds promising PB Matt has had a possible job come up round the road we are waiting to will save a fortune in petrol. will mean he is working 15 hours 2 days a week but will work the same days each week. An volunteering sounds intresting.

Eugh periods no thank you. I have had weird cramps for a few weeks but no sign of her yet I have checked my CP a few time seeif we have any signs but it seems all quiet up there. I think its a week tomorrow I have my smear and other checks in time for my coil fitting eugh. Being a non condom fan what would you girls do about in the mean time as I am sure Matt would be very happy if i gave him the gree light

 

[gilz82]

Personally without protection of some variety I wouldn't risk it unless you fancy a brother or sister for Abby right now, but that's just me.

We've had a terrible night, Noah's reflux is starting to get worse again. He fed at 12 took 4 oz and then screamed and all the othe reflux crap for the rest of the night. Didn't matter how I held him, over my shoulder, on my chest nothing worked. Gave up at 5am and came downstairs. Have finally managed to get him to drift off for a much needed sleep.

I'm so feking sick of this disease, he gets one or two days where he's reasonably settled during the day and not as bad at night and then we are away back to this!! I can't stand to have to watch him in pain and just count down the days til he can start weaning

 

[madcatwoman]

Oh gilz when are you both going to get a break?, i feel so bad for you, mainly because i cant begin to t hink how shattered you are, and i know from Bailey how awful it is to see your baby in pain!

Peanut, sounds like things are looking up!..."possibilities are endless"

Im afriad i havent had time to go thru the previous pages.."yet"(sorry)


As for me. Enough is enough. I had one cat who comes in to our bedroom meowing SOOO loud, creating, at 3 or 4 or 5am and it wakes Bailey, it wakes all of us, but obviously Bailey wants milk then, or a cuddle. I never wanted to lock our cats out of our room but ive had enough because Bailey will never learn to sleep thru and i'll never get any sleep!

 

[PeanutBean]

Blimey what did autocorrect do to my post?

Gilz. So sorry you're having such a tough time and on your own so much. I remember well how difficult it is without any sleep and a constantly upset baby.

Madcat, think I can do the same with the boy? He always wakes Indigi with his shrill voice!

 

[gilz82]

What a wee rascally cat, you are quite right to shut the door to keep it put at night. Do you think there's any chance it'll just sit outside the door an meow?

We shut beau in the kitchen at night, that's where his bed is so he's happy anyway but if I left the door open there's only one place he'd end up and it's not in my room. He'd be sprawled out on the couch thinking he was King Beau on his throne

 

[tas1]

Morning ladies!

Sorry Noah isn't any better gilz,must be awful for you both! But your doing a great job!!!

Cat I lock my cat in the kitchen she lives in there or outside just so I can control the fur as she is quite hairy and it does my head in! Plus I get scared she will jump in Caleb's Moses basket or on Caden bed. I hope Bailey sleeps through soon for you!

A couple of questions- where can you get big baby grows from in 3-6months? Coz Calebs sleep suits are getting too small and I think coz his legs and feet are too big,all his other 3-6month clothes fit him and I really don't wanna get 6-9 months unless I really have to!
Also when I go on to hungrier baby formula do I make the same as I normally do or leas because it's thicker?!?

Xx

 

[PeanutBean]

Just buy footless ones Tas. It's warm enough and then you don't need to worry about his feet getting squashed.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

glitz. I was up for five hours last night with Alex. He finally settled around four and slept until seven them up for a feed and back to sleep until ten. I've just fed him again and he's back asleep. I'm exhausted and pissed off at dh. I get he has work and needs sleep but he doesn't have to make me feel bad for asking for help when I'm at my wits end. Having kids does not mean I do everything while you are at work and at night.
