ohh the are you nuts test she'll like you having any sort of issue they have boxes to tick

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Hey, I'm nuts in my own right! I don't need a test to tell me!

 

[sequeena]

Ozzie you poor thing I'm very lucky in that after all the build up I had a complication free birth. Alex is here and safe

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I totally know what you mean Sequeena! It's so much build up and then nothing! I'm thankful our little ones are here safe and sound, but I'm not sure what to do with that build up iykwim?

Yeah I get you. It's anti climatic and you prepare yourself for the worst case scenario. Luckily when Thomas was born he screamed straight away so I didn't have to wait to see he was ok but it was odd and I kept asking where the doctors were and why weren't they monitoring him? My waters didn't break until I started pushing and they did note that there wasn't much water but that was it

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Thank you for your lovely words Ladies in a nutshell i know if i am pregnant i will be having the baby so i am goin to hang fire until the weekend and do another test and face things with DH when we know for sure

Ozzie i certainly know what its like to think 'what if' i do think its a good idea to talk it over with your hv or dr though

Sounds like a lovely day Peanut

NOMORE am excited for you its getting closer and closer to little ladys arrival

Ozzie I know what you mean about what ifs. I have had alot recently particularly surrounding my mmc at 10 weeks. Found the ultrasounds from that pregnancy recently. I had chucked them away along with my mat notes and stuff after I found it was a mmc. Luckily OH had rescued them in case I regretted it and hid them in the shed.

ALex is thankfully well and very obviously thriving! He is gorgeous and we need to be thankful for what we have and that our babes are ok But I totally understand where you are coming from.

Need to check out OH handiwork, he is custom built a bed for our 4 year old

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Gonna go have a bath with my little guy

 

[molly85]

awwwwww sounds cute loopy.

 

[sequeena]

Enjoy the bath! I so want to do that with Thomas but even with the heating on it's much too cold in there so I don't want to risk it

Evening

Poor you madly,me and my OH went through the same before Caleb and he told me to get rid and I said fuck off then coz I'm keeping baby if I am....it was just my thyroid that messed my periods up and he regrets saying it! He'll come round just give him time!

Ozzie hugs xxxx

How's everyone else today?

Xx

aw i love having baths with leo! its the only time i get one at the moment once he is in bed i am just too tired to do anything which brings me on to this very important question . . .

which one of you ladies is going to come over and cook me the pancakes with nutella that i so badly want . . . . anyone . . . doh! lol! will peel myself off the sofa in a minute, getting thirsy and need a wee . . . oh defo at that stage where standing up has to involve at least 3 important jobs - loo, drink, food - to make it worthwhile lol lol lol

 

[loopylollipop]

wooo hoooo the bed is rockin!!! Clever OH. Ds gonna love it, all built in.

Madly tbh my Ohs reaction would be the same I imagine. Hopefully it will come round. He asked me to get rid of our first - the mmc. I was convinced he had doomed the pregnancy and blamed him when the baby died. I got pregnant on the pill. It was only after the d&c we sat down and he agreed to try again.

I reckon your DH will come round eventually. I truly hope so. All our kids except Dyl have broken homes and it is really hard, but worth it rather than battling through an unfixable relationship. Lots of hugs hun

Peanut, that sounds lovely. I cant remember the last time we did something like that. You do wonderful things as a family, your lo's are so lucky

Gilz, know you are out there battling through hun, thinking of you

Vbaby, not bothered testing yet. Waiting to see what happens with all this bleeding rather than let it mess with my head even more. I suspect, if (and thats an if given test was out of time), I was, I am not now.

Love the pic Sequeena! Luna looks a big softie.

 

[sequeena]

Successful booby feed not successful enough for him to only have booby milk though but getting there! Latched on for about 10 minutes, saw him suck and heard him swallow (WOO!), had a little bit of EBM and is now topping up with formula via daddy. Feeling very happy now!

 

[PeanutBean]

Well done sequeena.

I must be weird or lucky (or both) as my what ifs all focus on things that went wrong and what I could've done differently.

DH and I have been talking about a third today - I blame you lot! I don't remember what but I said something that clearly implied an open mind, contrary to the decision we made soon after Indigo was born, and he was pretty surprised. I guess he has been thinking this is it when each day I've been mulling and wondering maybe. For me it's all selfish, all about the pregnancy and healing. I'm feeling pretty good since having my period so now it all feels like a year feeling rubbish for a lifetime of joy. DH doesn't have that of course, he well remembers how difficult it was for him and feels unsure he has emotional space for another. He reckons he couldn't cope with the two if I was pregnant and as ill again. We're on a 'we'll see'. I figure if Indigo gets to 2 and we crave to do it again then we will. If she gets there and we're full of exciting new careers and happy with our family of 4 then we won't.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Sounds like a good plan PB. We're aiming for Alex to be 2 before we try for another and then after that, we'll probably stop unless we have another boy. Then, most likely, DH will want to try for a girl one last time, lol!

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

why oh why oh why when i never ever use recipes did i think tonight with my belvoved pancakes did i think to trust someone else's "best pancake ever" recipes, i looked at the mix thinking hmmm looks too runny but mine is thicker than most anyway . . . i ended up out of 6 attempts getting only half a pancake and you know what it tasted like crap so angry!!!!! lol lol dh came up at the right time and is off to buy me a brownie from downstairs lol lol lol i think i am mostly angry because it took so much effort on my part to get up and do it and now i still have the washing up from it to do . . . stupid stupid recipe "best ever" whatever must have been written by a man

 

[molly85]

lol the best recipes are our own.

Loopy pictures please.

We had a bath to she can now float head up with me only holding her hand we had a full head submersion incident shea wasn't to pleased about. I was thinking wouldn't it be nice if she could still bf if i squeeze mynipples i still produce milk. Not great for her growth obviously with my water milk but thought it would be nice

 

[sequeena]

I may have to leave the group because I definitely am not having another one for a long time if ever. Keep your super fertility away from me

 

[PeanutBean]

You can't leave sequeena! Once nomore's popped we're moving to parenting, preg ladies or no.

Molly if you're still producing a bit of milk and would like to bf then you can work on relactation. You know a woman can produce milk even 10 years after having a baby. Have a look in the bf section, I bet there'll be info in there on how to go about it. If you only fed Abby once a day she would benefit from your immunity.

We've just watched a Torchwood. I must be feeling better to want to stay up! Still coughing and tickley chest and sore throat but I feel I have a future again. Lol

Speaking of future, I've just discovered a company doing marine surveys based in the town a mile from me!! Plus I've discovered a new charity who on their website say they hope to start shore based education for adults and children. Going to send my cv to them once I've started my masters and properly know the content of the course to sell it to them. Man, a new project setting up marine education would be right up my street, especially if it was managing volunteers to deliver content. That's like everything I know how to do! A part time job doing whatever in a marine company down the road would be pretty cool too and would fit me into the sector for networking etc. I love being excited about my future!
