Mother of all conception months Graduates

[molly85]

Glad you got out PB and it wasn't to bad.
Great you got an appointment so quick vbaby
Brilliant pic Loopy.
yummy food Madly

Abby has been for her weigh in and has slowed her growth right down she is now the same weight as charlie was at birth 10lb 4oz making that an average weight gain over 4 weeks of 5oz a week but they were happy with it and didn't say anything on giving her fast teats etc bunch of use they were

 

[vbaby3]

That sounds about right for her weight gain molly,she's doing great!
I'm a bad mummy,I haven't had Teagan weighed since she was 6wks old
There is supposed to be a 3 month check with the hv,and I haven't heard from them,and I certaintly am not chasing them up on it!
Sitting waiting my turn in a packed clinic with 3 little 1's sounds like a nightmare to me,so hopefully they leave us be til shay starts school then I'll only have 2 to contend with!
My gp weighed her at 6 wks and she had dropped on her graph thing but she's started fitting her 3-6months clothes now so she's grand!!

She's still pretty colicy/trapped wind etc,but do you know what,when her tummy is not hurting and she's had a nice sleep she is sooooooo pleasant and placid.
She would smile and coo at the devil himself lol!!
I am officially CRAZY ABOUT HER!!!!!!!lol
Can't imagine not having her!!
My happy pills are obviously making me feel the love at the moment lol!!!

Glad you got your appointment vbaby

I would like another baby if I am truly honest but I have doubts about my body been able to cope right now I feel so knackered not tired but my body aches and my tailbone OMG DH really really doesnt want anymore I cant stress how much he doesnt (but he didnt want to TTC Charlie at the beginning either) I cant except deep down that my baby making days are over We both have to be in consent for him to have the snip and he knows I`m not which was why I agreed to have the depo

Abby is doing so well Jo for reaching Charlies birth weight .... HV told me minimum weekly weight gain allowed is 2.5oz

vbaby as for been in love with Teagan I am totally besotted with Charlie Hes settled down an awful lot but still has his bad periods which means I am practically sat with him in my arms all day BUT if I am completely honest I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! Hes not going to want to sit in my arms when he gets bigger so am taking advantage Today he has his first 3-6mth grower on (I have cleared out 0-3mths for baby Harry!) its yellow and white with ducks on and he looks so cute and adorable .... its very big and baggy on him but that just makes him look cutier imo I am a bit gutted I bought `first outfits` for him now because he has spent most of his time in sleepsuits, rompers when its been warmer and pjs you know the ones with feet in them Hes worn the odd outfit mainly a cute Baby K one and a few tops with his Baby K jeans but thats it really I am handing a load of clothes to my sister which have never or hardly been worn Am glad I have someone to hand them to be honest ... I didnt even go mad this time (I learnt from having Oliver!) but Charlie has spent more time in his cute sleepsuits and growers than Oliver did which is funny cause Oliver was a winter babe where as Charlie was spring

Hello ladies hope everyone is ok

Thomas was weighed today, he's down to 6lbs 5.5oz so dropped 3oz which is about 3% of his body weight. Midwives are very happy with this, got the midwife coming out again on Friday

Breast feeding isn't going well today I just can't seem to get it right, he gets into a state and screams and screams so his tongue won't come down which means he can't latch on properly anyway it's awful to hear him cry like this because I know he's so hungry and just wants to be fed so I've passed him over to Sean now and today will only do skin to skin. I can't bear the thought of trying him on the breast again right now. He's just taken 60mls of formula.

Right I'm off to attempt to write my birth story...

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

Yay day 3 of mia! happy boy leo!!! had a few moments today because he gets frustrated with dh, dh is in his own little world sometimes and doesnt realise leo is talking to him so then he goes "i hit dada" not hard just a tap and then i have to run in to ensure that it doesnt spiral out of control "why'd you hit me!!!!" right you he hit you because he has been talking to you for the last couple of minutes andyou are ignoring him and you do not hit dada, if dada doesnt hear you just go "dada" loudly! now apologize! lol

i want a third baby madly but as you can see i already have to bang my two boys heads together so technically rachael bump is my third lol lol lol lol

aw sequeena cant wait to read you birth story, as you can imagine i am trying to read as many positive ones (people on here seem to love going "horrific traumatic birth with details!!!" so they are easy to avoid lol) as i can, i feel so un prepared, i feel a little like i did when i had leo, not really knowing what to expect but with an element of i know exactly what to expect to a certain point . . . iykwim?

pb so sorry you are still ill but you are so right a day indoors can really drag (i am an expert on them now lol) good for you for getting out!

oh i am so glad your appointment has come through so quickly vbaby!!! xkx

ozzie that is such a good pic!

loopy yours made me chuckle a bit i have to say bless him!!!

i cant believe there are weaning babies in this thread now and i amstill cooking mine lol she feels low but not that blinking low having another appointment with the head midwife this friday re birth plan and also feel of belly so hopefully she will have some good news for me about positions etc

 

[PeanutBean]

He may be tired too sequeena, the only times indigo screams at my boob is when she is more tired than hungry. If he's in a state pick up him back up and jiggle and calm him down then try again when he's done screaming. The more you supplement with formula the less milk your boobs will make, it's a fast track to exclusive ff. Have you got your milk in yet?

Glad Leo is doing so well nomore. Byron's been very good today considering how boring I've been. He's also he's been dry all day and wearing big boy pants since we got home at lunch plus his nappy was dry this morning after sleeping through in his own bed too. He's really coming on!

Hey madly. It's good you've got someone to benefit from your fine shopping though a shame you haven't got much wear out of things!

Things seem to be quiet in Manchester tonight. I've had to bow out of a thread on the riots because I was in tears over some of the opinions being expressed. Can't believe mothers could think them. I won't go into it here though in case any of you agree.

I'm still kind of mentally broken with it all. Nursery day tomorrow and DH isn't working late then he's off Friday so I'm hoping I'll be on the mend by Sat when he's in work again. Can't believe how poorly I am. Indigo has slept most of the day, not fed much and mostly cried when awake. I hope she improves soon too. Tomorrow we can both sleep all day.

Evening ladies

I can't remember what I've read now but I'll try!

Madly it's so cute Charlie knows when his food is coming! I'm gonna start on Friday I'm nervous about it never crossed my mind with Caden just thought it was right! I think Caleb will be going in to 6-9months soon they grow too fast!!

Vbaby glad your appointment has come though! What are those tablets called I might need some lol they sound so good lol!! Glad your chilled out especially with three kids,I want into town with my friend and her two kids her eldest is 6 and it was hard coz her 6yr old and Caden clash sometimes so they get naughty so I was experiencing having three kids coz my friend is pregnant and had to sort out her 1yr old! So now I'm definitely sticking with two lol!!

Pb sorry your feeling poorly I hope you get better soon! And glad things have settled down in Manchester! And I'm sure we will side with you no matter what!

Sequeena please keep trying the boobie as I really regret not carrying on but left pressured by mainly my sister! Think she got it into my head that Caleb wasn't getting enough so I panicked and I regret it I wish I just asked and listened to you ladies!

Kate glad Leo is being good and give your DH a slap,it annoys me when my OH doesn't listen to Caden coz you can see the disappointment when he's looking at daddy telling him something exciting and all my OH does is 'mmm'! Don't worry about cooking Racheal still coz I miss being pregnant it feels like i was pregnant then blinked and he's 4months old!

I can't remember anything else but hugs to everyone xx

In my world I'm so pissed off with my sister and how she reacted with fb then how she flagged my OH off! She took it over the line so I walked out of our workout! I haven't told my OH coz he's trying so hard with my family so this would really upset him! It upset me alot and I'm not gonna bother til she apologises! I don't see why I have to please her and just take all the shit she says to me! Sorry about the rant I hate my family sometimes

Xx

 

[sequeena]

nomore my birth story is in my journal now if you'd like a read!

I got him on the boob again, it's still hard but I'm persevering.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

Aw tas sorry you had another sister barney, without fanning your arguement flames your sister seems very pig headed and stubborn, i sorted this same problem out with my sister by moving out and not seeing her often . . now we get on famously lol lol lol well my sister (even though older than me) finally grew up a couple of years ago lol

aw pb you sound how i felt a few days ago, i was literally counting down the seconds to when dh would be off work (14days worth of seconds is a lot of counting lol) i read some of your thread hun and to be honest people see these 10 year olds and think they look, behave and have the morals of people much much older but you are totally right that does not miraculously make them adults. you are right, the parents should be responsible, i was bought up fantastically i would never even have dreamt of being out at night at aged 10 let alone looting, the behaviour has been taught or bad behaviour been allowed to manisfest by the parents. if parents faced a stern punishment for allowing their children to become completely devoid of the ability to conform to decent human and social requirements then you can sure as hell bet that they would all be in school with their heads down! i think the people who responded to you have absolutely no idea just how little discipline these parents instil in their children - some genuinely have no idea of the difference between right and wrong, what is legal and illegal, the consequences of actions not just for themselves but the people they are doing it to. seen purely in the comments from the stupid pre teens "we are getting our taxes back" er you do not pay tax, your parents do not pay tax and the tax that others pay will have to go to fixing all the stuff you have trashed! doi!

anyway nuff said, i could go on but you get my drift lol

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

oh oh popping over now!! xkx

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw sequeena what a fabulous birth story!!!

i love that second picture of you, you look half oh my goodness that was fabulous and look at our gorgeous baby and half thank f£ck that is over, you with the camera! dont you ever come near me with magic stick again lol

such a cutie pop too! well done hun xkx

 

[PeanutBean]

I saw your birth story last night sequeena, well impressed!

Thank you nomore. It makes me cry to think of the background these children (teens included) come from to think what they have been doing is ok. I cannot understand how any mum could not feel the same. I've not looked at the thread since. I will look to see what comments were made when I'm less ill but don't intend to get into a debate again. I don't think there's any reasoning with people who don't intuitively feel this way so it's just a waste of my emotional energy.

Anyway....

Sorry about your sister Tas. I don't have any good advice though. I hope things improve soon.

Vbaby I must've missed that you've your appointment. That's good. I hope everything turns out ok.

Well I feel a modicum more human at last. Still plenty poorly but my chest is loosening up and ear is less stabby. My sleep was more normal (Indigo woke half 12 and half 4 so quite well spaced). I feel quite a bit less mad in the head! Hopefully a day resting with just Indigo will get things well on the way to healing. She seems quite a bit better too. Already had some smiles and an explosive nappy!

 

[sequeena]

Lmfao nomore!!!!

I think my milk is coming in! Boobs feel heavier, fuller, harder and hotter

 

[PeanutBean]

Get him latched on as much as poss to try and prevent them getting too engorged which then makes latching tricky plus it bloody hurts!

 

[molly85]

bleugh engorged boobs thats all iv read lol.

soz girls flying through as abby has been jabbed and is fine but her milk taking seriously has dropped off she feeds roughly every 4 hours but will only tak 3 ounces usually a bit more before bed and is going 6 hours over night so getting under 20 oz when she should be nearer 30/35oz taking her to gp as im not happy with this and she screams and is now very dummy reliant because she is hungry. Shes been such a happy baby so want her back not this pained starving one

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

ha ha! leo still being a happy boy! got dh here today so we are going to go into windsor, have a gander by the river, feed some ducks, kick a ball lol

i am going ss crazy over here! i thought she was coming last night, everytime i had a braxton my back absolutely killed just like it did when i was in labour with leo but after midnight it stopped . . . darn it! lol

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

ha ha just found a book that i stuck all my opks to to see the progression lol lol lol looking back it was all totally normal to keep them now i am like err kate that is literally a book of your p£ss lol lol lol with descriptions of af, cm, ewcm, preseed, bd dates, ss lol lol lol ttc is like a completely different world isnt it!

 

[molly85]

that deffinatly sounds weird

 

[vbaby3]

Molly,try not to worry,though obviously you know abby best.
Teagan has 4 6oz bottles and never finishes them,so prob gets 20-22 ozs a day,and she's prob at least 14lbs(a rough guess lol).

Out at my friends all morning,had a good laugh.
No other news here,teagan slrept thru til 7.30 the last few mornings,so hopefully she's finished with that wonder week!
