Mother of all conception months Graduates

[molly85]

I'm watching Cherry on bbc3 brilliant it's on different styles of parenting. I weirdly think my parents got it right strict on manners and behaviour at home and to my elders etc but sex, drink drugs i was allowed to do as long as I did them at home. I could drink like a fish but was never stupid, never touched drugs and lost my vaginity at home when I was 16 in a safe and loving way. Not to bad me thinks I think I could cope with Abby doing that I just don't want to watch lol

Morning ladies

Nothing to report here!

How is everyone? What's your plans today?

Xx

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Just watching the news. We were meant to watch our niece today, but BIL isn't working. Some cheek of him though. I was going to take her to Jumping Joey's today if we were watching her and he just phoned asking if I still wanted to take her. I politely said no because I've not planned to do anything now.

morning all

Gilz I am so happy that he has finally been seen. And it sounds like they are truly accepting the severity of the situation rather than passing you of or just doing a bit of fiddling here and there. Lets hope this works and doesnt come to surgery. Poor Noah, and poor you. You must feel alot of the joy of these early months has been cheated from you But hopefully soon you will have a happy healthy thriving little boy

I am not contemplating any introduction of weaning foods yet, but then again Dylan is happy as he is. I am still trying to give as much bf as possible, with some top-up ff. He certainly doesnt gain well when I fully bf him. But am trying to give him the benefits of bf too. He loves boobie so much too, his little eyes light up when its offered after a ff

I am really swinging between trying to go back to exclusive bf and to swapping to ff. The HV just always end up worrying me so much, even though he appears to be developing fine. OH is keen for me to swap to ff but it makes me thinking of giving up bf altogether.

Not such a good night last night. He woke a couple of times, not sure why but he accepted bf so just may have been hungry again. He did have a mammoth sleep yesterday though.

Madly, yay for sister and Harry being home Wil check out book, I dont have any weaning books. Am interested into looking into the baby led weaning too.

Wowzer Ozzie on your lovely big ! Wish I had your calorific boobie juice!

Nomore - fab news with Leo hopefully as you said something has clicked and turned the corner. Sure is needed before arrives.

I think I read Dare has had her baby?? If so super big hugs and congrats

Hope those boobies are playing ball Sequeena, and Thomas is doing well. It really is down to persisting through it all. I really struggles through with the weight issues with Dylan, and still am in fact. Bf is just so worth it if you can.

Hope you are feeling better PB. And your DH has stopped throwing up hee hee. Wow Indigo looks lovely, just like her brother

Cant remember what else I read soz but cyber love and hugs to everyone. Now I am getting a bit more sleep am hoping to be able to catch up easier xx

 

[loopylollipop]

morning Tas!

Nothing planned here really, just a lazy catch up day around the house. The looming pile of ironing needs tackling, I just keep moving it from one room to the other so I dont have to look at it or trip over it

Have you any plans with your boys?

Ozzi - cheeky BIL you did right!

 

[tas1]

Same really,got two loads of washing I want doing as I'm going out tomorrow with my best friend so wanna clean today so I don't feel guilty for going out all day tomorrow lol! But I have some clients later so have to drop boys off at my mums but I'll probably go a couple of hrs earlier as I have to print some stuff out for the christening invites then need to send them all! It's a same that we all don't live near each other coz you would get an invite too!

Ozzie that is cheeky my BIL does that sometimes to my mum she doesnt mind but it's like don't you wanna spend time with your son!

Me and Caden are watching mickey mouse eating carrot cake but he has eaten all the icing off the top so doesn't taste as good....I use to finish a whole cake with him when I was pregnant now it's got thre quarter left and I feel sick lol
Caleb is asleep on me hence why cleaning and washing has stopped lol

Xx

 

[molly85]

she did it again up at about 6 yay stayed up for an hour and a half then we went back to bed

abby is not eatting today thogh i think i did try and give her the bit left in last nights bottle rather than the fresh one i had whoops.

 

[loopylollipop]

not suprised she wasnt too keen Molly eww

Dyl and I are outside enjoying some nice weather. He is on his activity mat shaded by a blanket and I am trying out the new parasol. Got a whole new bistro patio set for £50 as my old one didnt have a parasol (or a hole for it) and it stopped me sitting outside in the mornings outside the back door where it gets the sun. The parasol alone can be £30 so am pretty pleased. Alot are too big, this is perfect for our weeny house.

Washing in, gearing up to cleaning kitchen. Domestic goddess I am not

 

[loopylollipop]

and yay on the sleeps Molly

 

[tas1]

Lol Molly I can remember doing that to Caleb on a night feed then remembering in the morning then felt guilty lol he drank it though! Glad Abby is sleeping!!

Aww loopy sounds like a nice day where you are,it's sunny here but windy so makes it cold! I have a patio set that we have used once,when we get chance we always forget,we have moved it out of the shed near our back door so we can use it more I need to get a cover for it as we have filled the shed with other rubbish lol

I have put washing on line dried the dishes,dusted living room made Caden lunch and feeding Caleb,I just need to have a shower then go to my mums then post office! Think I'm gonna clean my bathroom and kitchen when boys are in bed ad Caden always wants to help and I don't want the bathroom cleaner reacting with his sensitive skin!

Xx

 

[loopylollipop]

Wow Tas that made me tired just reading it ! Boy is having his pudding now (bf after ff) which he is enjoying. Weather is pretty good although clouding over a bit now...

 

[molly85]

im just eatting breakfast shush took an hour and a half to feed grumpy. went to get my cereal and what does she do. roll over on the sofa sideways so along the sofa front to back. I put her on a quilt on the floor and she did it again. about time abs. so in one week we have mini push ups rolling and a wee bit of sitting supported

Hi Ladies :wave:

Gilz hon I agree making your own purees will count out any thing he cant have I literally peeled and boiled butternut squash and carrots the other night in pans until really soft then stuck in my blender and popped in ice-cube trays The cubes last 8wks so batch making is ideal and will certainly help for time when your OH isnt around I wish I could batch make for you and send them over We batch made for Oliver every two weeks on a weekend and DH pitched in we made a combo of AK recipes and then we made things like spag bol and shepherds pie which me just mashed to death we also made some of her puds but we also used some of the jar puddings because Oliver loved the heinz choc pud Oliver fav was AK eves pudding and her chicken recipe (forget the name and it isnt in her new books!) it was like a risotto with chicken, rice, tomoto puree, onions and garlic and he loved it although he permanently smelt of garlic currently Charlie has 60 meals in the freezer and I am going to make some sweet potato and pear today

NOMORE fxed Leo has turned a corner

Loopy I think with regards to bf/ff you have to do what you feel is best for you and Dylan and tbh your DH doesnt get a say cause their your boobies

All this washing and cleaning makes me feel lazy cause I havent done anything today

for rolling Molly

and Ozzie get your DH ... the cheek

Well we havent gone to yogabugs today because Oliver has sacked it off, he says he doesnt like it so am not dragging him there We have been making bottle people which we are going to paint shortly

Has Dare had her little lady? Congrats if you have Dare

Molly fab news on the gymnastics x she is really coming on. Stupid receptionist how cab you get swans and blood results mixed up ??

Dylan been asleep since two. Nowdays two free hours us like a whole lifetime .....

 

[vbaby3]

Hi all.
The baby food jars turn me too,I always had a couple in the cupboard for emergencies,but making your own is so easy.Especially in the beginning.Literally boil 2 sweet potatoes,blend and freeze,and you're done for the wk!!!
Its when you start adding different veg and meat that it gets more time consuming.But my dinners were always pretty bland,basically potato,meat or fish,and a couple diffenet types of veg!!All pureed with some nice formula yum yum!!!!

Out all day with my 3 munchkins.Had a few bits and pieces to do in town,got shays school shoes and stuff.Teagan really does not like the double buggy,she's happy sitting up in a shopping trolley,but howls the shop down in her buggy.I think its coz her seats at the back and oran is in front of her and she can't see past his big head lol!
We had a nice lunch in subway and only got home a while ago.
Visiting a friend and her wee boys tomorrow,and another friend on wednesday.Trying to keep the social calendar full lol!!

Loopy,do what your gut tells you.If you wanna exclusively bf then do it.Dylan looks great,if you decide to ff don't beat yourself up about it.
I learnt after failing miserably to bf shay not to upset myself over it.I felt like the worlds shittest mam ever.I have learnt from that and happily fed my other 2 with formula without the guilt!!

Stupid predictive text. Dont think I will ever get used to a smartphone that is smarter than me

Madly, OH wants me to ff as he at the receiving end of my roller coaster ride. I happily demand bf away, until each weigh in which inevitably ends in me phoning him up at work in tears. Stupid hormones. At the moment combined feeding is providing the best of both worlds for me. I feed him a formula when he is really hungry, then follow offering bf and let him snack bf as he wishes throughout the day.

A rather listless start to the day has turned into rather a productive one. Well at least the dead rat in the garden has gone, it was so big the cat didnt bother trying to dance around it pretending it was his kill

Dylan still asleep.

Vbaby, thanks It is hard not to feel quilty. Men just dont appear to understand the inherent need some women feel to bf. Ahem.

I still havent managed to venture to the shops (supermarket shopping) with him, and I only have one! Brave you. I can cope with the farm shop but cant get everything there. I am def more of a wuss this time round. Maybe its because I am an old crumbly

Just ironing some of his cute little babygrows he has outgrown. I dont want to part with them!

Gilz hope Noahs new milk is helping him

Madly ooo that sounds fun. I wanna come play!
