Mother of all conception months Graduates

This is the second night we've tried Alex with a little expressed milk. I got a Medela Electric pump on ebay for £30 and I'm waiting for it to come. In the meantime, I was using my manual pump. I pumped a bit in the morning and got more today. DH is giving it to him while I eat dinner. He's doing well with the bottle and still latching with the breast :cloud9: My little man! :)
 
:haha: I said to DH that I still want to breastfeed a majority of the time and he said "That's good so I don't have to feed him." :dohh: Oh, I expressed 2oz off one breast this morning. Dead proud! :)
 
bleeding heck thats good. really explains alot with me feeding abby, next time i will do colustrum and wean it down as my milk comes in with bottles. the women in our familyjust can't make milk
 
Is it normal for them to be slightly wheezy with the bottle??? DH winded him and he burped so I wonder if he's just taking in excess air?
 
Doesn't it just Molly?

Ozzie I think because the bottle gives out so much faster they can swallow more air. Maybe! Lol

Apparently my little sil has been scouted for modelling by a photographer who works with Madonna and blah blah. Seems it was all genuine. She turned him down as she doesn't like cameras. Lol Good move I say!
 
aw madly sorry to hear that the baby isnt 100% healthy :(

thank you so much ladies for commenting sorry to blurt everything out then have to leave but it did make me feel a little better to know i am not a complete loon.

my midwife called me on the way to the funeral and she was absolutely livid if it isnt sorted out by wednesday i am to text her thursday morning and then she will be sorting them all out love her, if i could gaurentee having her there then i might be more open about trial of labour but even then i would never be able to shake my concerns away that easily

well today was a mixed bag, almost throttled someone at the funeral. this no body - literally she was just someone who lived down grandads street and came to gawp at the coffin had a go at me mid service for bringing our son really loudly too! she plonked herself in the second row which was reserved for family hence why i was in the row behind her, her husband was appauled, the family members in the row behind, next to and in front of her all came up to me saying they were ready to jump on her i just could not believe that this no body actually said this to me! my grandad actually had a go at me for taking leo out of my nanas funeral so there was no way that he would have not wanted him there and all he was saying was mummy i want some more (we were scoffing him with food during it) that was it! her husband had a go at her and she looked particularly humiliated when i said now now leo grandad wouldnt want to hear you kicking up a fuss ie she thought it was a room full of no bodys obviously! she ran out the service once it was finished, didnt say anything to any of the family members, didnt look at the flowers and most certainly didnt go to the wake. how dare she but she bloody well sticks in my mind, i just wanted to yank her by the hair, pull her face next to mine and go i am well within my rights to bring davids only great grandchild who he loved you have no right bringing your vile disgusting and disrespectful attitude with you! coffin gawper!

ha rant well and truely over, my mum was like it is a shame that people like your nan and grandad are gone but people like her are still stealing our oxygen lol lol lol lol lol

stupid old woman

no no really rant over, i hereby promise not to rant for at least a week lol only happy smiles coming this way lol

we left the wake and my dad was well and truely trashed, my great, great aunt brenda came up to him and said grandad again soon and he went he he he he its for the seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecond tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimeeeeeeeeeee! made me chuckle lol
 
I'm in a I hate men stage again! He's had ago at me about money saying I'm the one spending and even his parents have said why are you left without any money erm because he smokes 10 or more a day eats lunch out everyday and parks in a car park all week and has to pay for it!
I get our tax credits every week but that's for some bills and then food shopping I don't spend on me at all but he doesn't see it!
He's told me well if you got a job instead of getting pregnant we wouldn't have Caleb and that's far better than any money/job! He's such a knob I feel like I'm not allowed to do anything we made a deal last yar he wouldn't play on consoles and I wouldn't get Facebook but he has been playing on his consoles and I only have facebook for you ladies but I can't have anyone else not even my family,I hate lying to my family and I'm not even allowed to be friends with a girl because she voiced her opinion and one time was too much but I didn't need to fall out with her for it! He doesn't even like me going running he complains and has a bitch everytime I go!!
He keeps telling me to get a job and make my own money but then when I went on Sunday to the car boot so try and make extra money he days sorry this is too hard I won't moan at you ever again for not making any money!!!!
I'm hurt and upset I don't know what to do.

Xx
 
Sorry Kate totally slipped my mind that it was your grandada funeral I would be dangerous if my brain worked!! Glad it went ok except the lady,it's shocking what people act and say she had no right to be rude!!

Sorry to hear about the vile woman :nope:

Pumped 1.5oz this evening and that was just with the manual pump for about 10 minutes. :happydance: Alex took the bottle then breast with no issues!!! Take that Ms. Know-it-all HV! :haha: She said he might reject the bottle and to try it early. I just have a greedy baby that wants fed no matter what!
 
aw yay ozzie! i love it when they first start roling over lol they always look so pleased with themselves lol oh health visitors i would be inclined to just ignore them! the only one i ever thought was any good was one who came to my flat and i honestly thought i had let a hooker in lol she was wearing a leather skirt with thigh highs massive hair boobs hanging out plastered face but she said a lot of what you have been told by health visitors is just them reading from a book. they just do not accept that babies do not come with a manual, with me it was in relation to me not waking leo up for a feed he didnt want, i was told to did it and had a miserable baby for two days because of disturbed sleep and no feed! she said utter twonk, i would have been forget you i am goign to consider myself lucky that my baby sleeps very well and drinks enough during the day forget what she said she is another text booker lol lol lol

so ozzie forget her she is obviously just another text booker lol leo drank from a bottle and breast from about 7 days old! and continued for a month until the obvious milk reduction and him preferring the bottle

aw tas i dont know what to suggest with your dh, sounds incredibly overprotective for some reason! my dad was a little like this with my mum, he is well off so my mum was sahm but obviously needed a joint account of which to buy food pay bills etc, and each statement there was the erm x why have you spent 100 quid on food one week then 150 the next drove my mum bonkers, she could only spend our child benefit on herself because it went into her own account so he couldnt see it, i think some men struggle to really let go, they have earned the money fair enough but if you are saying to someone i do not want you to work you do not have to work then you have to accept that like every human being they need clothes, hair done, want to go out etc and as yours is the only wage as long as the household can afford it then money will be spent on those areas from time to time!

i dont know some men are so weird and full of double standards, i am sorry but i would be very much inclined to be like well i am on facebook i will make friends with whoever i want on there. OR you chuck away your consoles and your console related stuff as that was the agreement . . .not that i think computers and having a social life are at all a fair trade . . . xkx
 
I agree with nomore tas. I'd never let a man dictate how I run my life no matter who earned what money. It'd be one thing if you were splashing out but bills or the children's needs weren't being taken care of but it sounds like he is being beyond unreasonable.

:hugs: nomore. I'm glad your mw is on the case.
 
Thanks Kate!

It just dawned on me today that he is in some way controlling me and I was like how did I let that happen! I might tell him I'm adding my friends and family on facebook because sometimes it's the only way I talk to them,the agreement was we got rid of them and spent more time with each other getting a hobbie and doing it on an evening but we don't! At the minute I'm sat upstairs putting Caleb to bed (well we played abit he's rubbish at rolling over think he needs more practise he enjoyed it lol) and my OH is downstairs on the playstation! I need to go and do dishes and steriliser but that's all I'm doing I'm not sitting with him being nice! The thing is before I got pregnant with Caleb I was gonna do my level 3 hairdressing so I could get a better paid job than just a stylist but I got pregnant I didn't do it to get out of going to learn then get a job because my plan was start going to college then start trying for Caleb finish my course have baby and by the time I left I was ready to leave Calebi would get a job so I don't plan on being a sahm til they leave secondary school just these first few years while they are still learning as I wanna teach them and watch them learn theirs first plus I did it with Caden so I can't not do it with Caleb! Also if I dont get a decent paid job that's will cover what we get from benefits we will be outof pocket and he doesn't understand that!

Xx
 
Thanks pb!
I don't spend on me at all because I don't need anything! I even spent my birthday money on the boys at the next sale!
His mum buys him loads she came in today with shoes trouser and tops for him

Xx
 
you do what is best hun, my plan is to work part time when i need to and once the children are in school then will be the time to worry about an actual proper career and even then i would want to be home for home time the majority of the time you know. ..

so hard, i think its a case of he sees it as his money as opposed to ours, with dh and and me we have seperate accounts but money is ours, unless we take a lot of money out of the others account we dont worry about tenners here and there you know?

get control of your life back hun, next it will be he doesnt want you to go back to work at all to spend time together but then will go out you know lol
 
We have spoken he has apologised and I can add family and friends to Facebook so I'm gonna do it this time he's said it to me before but I have always been like no but not this time! He has admitted he doesn't trust me and I said if you don't trust me why are we getting married he said because I love u so I said love means trust! I have trust issues with stuff that have happened in my family and to me but I trust my OH its taken time but I do!
It's sorted now hopefully and I didn't even cry I just said what I wanted and let him deal with it!

Xx
 
Morning all
Just been reading about the man issues!:dohh::shrug::growlmad:

Bailey slept for the 1st time in his travel cot last night without crying, he woke at 4.30 but i think that was more to do with the fact the window was open and it had turned really cold at that point. I wanted to but his little bunny in with him for comfort as he really does love it, but i know theyre not supposed to have toy stuffed animals in bed with them, am i being ott or do any of you do this, its just a little bunny.
 
Morning

Well done to Bailey!!! Caleb is still in his basket has no room for anything else lol! I'm not sure if it's advisable I wouldn't til he's old but then if it's next to him it might be ok as well it's away from him but still in sight! I never gave Caden teddies til he was older than he sometimes had his mickey mouse teddy in!

How many babies are rolling over? Caleb is pulling his head forward and is trying to sit up but no rolling!!
