Mother of all conception months Graduates

[PeanutBean]

The new one is a sort of tiered blue long top and white bloomers. You'd have liked the other Molly, it had Disney piglet on. I'm not a fan of Disney though so it was a double no-no though the style was pretty.

This is certainly period pain. Ugh just the start and it's making me feel so off. Hope the period hurries up and comes so I can get the awful first one over and done with.

I've done two lots of ironing today. Washed all Indigo's gift 3-6 months clothes and ironed. She is a chunk so I reckon some might fit now. Guess I need to look at Byron's stuff and see if anything is ok for the summer. Big problematic them being born 5 months apart. I'm excited about her new outfits though.

I like winnie the poo not disney. I wanted her in "day clothes" so choises are limited in new born and I go nuts saying mollys a girl so for abby would drive me crakers but I just get weight quiries bleugh. We are going to be very naughty tomorrow. We are prob going to ikea so need space in the car but don't want abby in the car seat for 4+ hours so we are going to use her pushchair bit which is tecnically from 6 months but I am transfering her head huger from car seat and have fiddled with the belt. she has room to kick about then and stay cool and she likes sitting up a bit so the recline will be perfect.

Oh and piglet should wear a green top not pink grrrrr

 

[madcatwoman]

Glad to hear you found some more clothes Peanut! loving the pink top youre returning!lol!

Madly, i feel horrified for you finding charlie like that, i really dont know what to say but for the love of god please dont ever let it happen with me, you need to run that by the docs hun!

 

[PeanutBean]

Molly you know Disney own all the original art for Winnie the Pooh too? . I love Winnie the Pooh but can't bring myself even to buy stuff with the original art on. Stupid sellouts. According to my mum it was Christopher Robin's mum who made up the stories, his dad just wrote them down. This I had not known!

I've kept the pink sleepsuits. Next do great quality sleepsuits and the pink is bright, not the baby pink you see everywhere. One is striped with white, another is a floral pattern with green and I think the third is white with a flower motif so they are ok.

 

[madcatwoman]

I just re-read your post peanut, funny, ive just put a load of 3-6months clothes in the machine for washing today,ones that people have bought us, we have some real nice stuff from Baby Gap!,goodness knows how much they cost. Bailey is already in 3-6 vests, sleepsuits are just a tiny little bit long, i havent tried the rest on him yet!

 

[molly85]

ohh iv seen them i liked those onesi like her in bright colours they dnt do enough of them. she doesn't wear alot of baby pink.

iknew the storys were done by a parent i have no moralsi just them to be correct not like piglets camp enough stick him in pink to

 

[pinkclaire]

Everything I've put on of Lotties that's 0-3 months is really quite tight. I can't believe it she's not even 1 month old yet and going to be in 3-6 months sharpish

Ms at work again tonight. It's crap I'm shattered but Lottied feeding, can't wait to go to bed!

Madly good luck tomorrow really hope you get some progress!

Sorry I'm to tired to remember anything else

 

[pinkclaire]

Oh yes just remembered something, I hate Disney as well PB, and people keep buying me bloody Disney and poo clothing. Now I've not been shy about telling people this so why do they keep getting me it I don't mind so much on older kids who actually like the programmes etc but on babies

 

[molly85]

I looked through abbys newborn stuff earlier and its all trousers and loads ofpink pregnant woman shouldnot be allowed to shop not that trousers arent good but really what was i buying i want to get in the 0-3 month stuff where all my noce out fits are for her.

Abby just had her first bath with Daddy as I supervised she just stared at me like hes not as fun as you mum lol

 

[loopylollipop]

evening all

sorry been MIA for a few days been busy and am knackered!

All is well though, nothing much to report. Just busy with normal day-to-day life with a baby....

Have tried to keep up as much as possible but cant comment individually as would take forever!!

Just want to say GL Madly for tomorrow, I hope you get some answers.

Cyber love and to everyone else

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Well it's the twelve to three cluster feed lol. Thank god for my itouch! The doctor just wants to keep an eye on me. She is not convinced it's pnd because it's still very early days. Today was better though. She is more worried about my anxiety of being Aline than anything. So we shall see how things go.

 

[madcatwoman]

Morning all!

Pinkclaire,DH said lastnight, putting Baileys sleepsuit on "oh its a bit tight!".

Madly, i hope you have some joy with this docs appointment(it is today isnt it?).

We're off to buy a travel cot today

Tomorrow Bailey&I have our 8 week check, im sure that'l upset Bailey to start with,then straight afterwards his jabs Im really not looking forward to it. I know he needs them, but it seems so evil at the time!

 

[PeanutBean]

Ozzie I meant to post yesterday to say not to even entertain the thought of pnd yet. It's early days and you'll be well into baby blues at the moment which can last days/weeks. You've extra stuff to process with his heart condition and the roller coaster pregnancy coming to an end. Give yourself a break. I found that accepting I felt how I felt and not analysing further helped me with any guilty feelings and time alters your thoughts and emotions anyway.

We have our check tomorrow too Madcat. What a nightmare getting the appointment! It was meant to be last Monday so I rang the day I got the letter (about a month ago) to change it and was told the diaries weren't available for yesterday and to call back. I spent about three weeks, called about 7 times, to try and get the appointment booked. Then last week they called on Thursday to tell us the antibiotics Byron was given were not a worry (only two weeks later!!!) so I went to book again and was told it was all booked up. WTF?! Seems I should've been put through to some woman who schedules the check instead of them going to the doctor's diary direct. They offered one on Monday but she'll be 10 weeks then and some of the reflexes they check don't last forever. Anyway they conceded and got me an appointment tomorrow begrudgingly as if it had been my bloody fault.

Morning all

Hope all goes well with your appointment madly!

Ozzie glad the doctor doesnt think it's pnd and I agree with peanut! You had so much tk deal with so of course your gonna have down days!

Peanut what a pain with your appointment but glad you got one! And I'm glad the antibiotic werent anything harmful as it would probably be too late after two weeks,can't believe it took two weeks to tell you they were ok its a good thing you was t worrying too much!

Madcat which travel cot are you getting? And don't worry about baileys injections they soon forget!

I'm gonna try and get caleb weighed today! Then not sure what else to do today! It's been raining here but I'm hoping it stops so we can go for a walk! Both of my boys have clothes on today lol

What has everyone else got planned today? X

 

[madcatwoman]

Oh i hope yours&Indigos appointment goes ok as well then!

Tas,im done for today lol.Been to tescos(i wont rant about the parking lol!), im trying their own nappys to see what they are like &been to argos, we got a mammas&pappas travel cot, DH said if we were going to get one to get a decent one and one that will last, unfortunately not a bassinette type though (he wont stretch to that lol!). Just sterillised & waiting for Bailey to wake from his car seat!!. Very warm & sunny here, just been throwing the windows open!

 

[tas1]

Blimey cat you are organised! I've managed to get a bath and boys dressed just can't get motivated! I've tried tescos nappies I didn't rate them but that was 3yrs ago! I do like Asdas own nappies and may go on them when my free nappies run out!

I'm feeling slightly rubbish today,tired and I have a head cold!

Xx

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Thanks ladies. Yesterday was much better. The HV is coming today around 3pm so I'm interested to see what she says. On another note, when I was at the GP yesterday, I ran into another American from Idaho who I had met briefly when I was working at the school. She gave me her number and said if I need anything to call . She went through the same thing because all her family is in the US and she's pretty much on her own here with her hubby and four kids. I'm glad I'm building a support network in this town.

to everyone. I don't think I could have gotten through all this without your support and love

 

[vbaby3]

Hi everyone,
madly hope your appointment went well.
Poor babies getting their vaccinations,but tas is right,they're fine a few mins later.
I have Teagans booked for 14th july,shay is due his booster shot now so getting them both done the same time.Teagan will be fine,its shay i'm worried about.When i got the swine flu jab for him he was so upset with me and looked at me with pure hurt in his eyes,how could i be letting this happen to him,it broke my heartA good bribe will be in order i think!

Madcat i use the tesco nappies on teagan and they're fineI was a pampers girl too,but when i was preg and buying nappies in advance i noticed the huge price difference between pampers and tesco own and decided to give tesco a go.They're fine for now anyway,got some for oran too,only started using them today.They might not be as good for big boy wee's but we'll see!

I had my friend and her dd over this morning.Teagan went til 4.30 this morning,just took 2 ozs and then straight back down til 9am!She's cottoning on to this routine thing i think!
Poor mite gets in a terrible state with her cough though.Really hope she's improved by the wk end,or i'll really hate leaving her

 

[molly85]

ok do i have a piggy baby? she seems to do better on a fuller boob guess more milk on offer but she will also clear a 4oz bottle how does she have a bigger tummy than tegan

not a bad nght here didn't gobed til 2 am but abby had snoozed o and off all day. matts feeling it has had maybe 4 hours sleep i had 6

 

[vbaby3]

Don't know molly,I make 4oz bottles and she never finishes them,and she's only on 6 bottles a day.She's an exception I think,or maybe its the reflux.My boys were on 6/7oz bottles at this stage.I think sofie said jake was on 5oz bottles too,and he's teeny compared to teagan.
She's thriving though,so I'm just thinking she has a small appetite!
