Mother of all conception months Graduates

[molly85]

man its worse than labour my eyes were actually watering.

 

[tas1]

Gilz I agree with madly about trying to move Noah's feeds then you can still give him his meds!

Madcat glad Bailey is getting sorted and I hope it works for him!

Madly glad Charlie is ok and things seem to be working for him!

Pink sorry to hear about your boobs hurting,I think I must of got that but I jusg stopped BFing which I wished I didn't so hang in there! Don't feel too bad about not having energy to devote to James coz he is still young he won't remember and when you do have energy for him just do loads with him that's what I try and do with caden! It's so hard sometimes coz all I wanna do is sleep and with caleb just wanting to sleep on you in the day it's hard!!

Loopy did you still want 0-3 vests I haven't had chance to sort them out but I know I have loads! Or if anyone else wants them just let me know!

Today I've had some pictures done of the boys but caleb wasn't happy so I have one nice picture we are going back next week to get some more done coz I want a nice picture done so I can get some personalised christening invites done!

Why do babies like to sleep on you when it's hot,he's proper sweating on me!
Also caleb hasnt gotten away with not going bald,his cradle cap is making his hair come out so it's going finer and finer,poor baby lol

I hope the gaviscon helps Bailey, Madcat.

Big pink. Fingers crossed it eases off soon. If you can bear the pain I was always under the impression that feeding was the right thing to do with mastitis.

Ozzie I'm glad he had a wet nappy. Indigo's have been much dryer the last few days and she is feeding loads and not chucking it back up. Thus hot weather does dehydrate them. Make sure you keep an eye on his fontanelle as it being depressed is a sign of dehydration.

all round.

Molly I've just had an invite to an eat study through bounty I think. Was all for it til I read about the two groups. Half are to be bf til 6 months the other half start having foods introduced at 3 months. I appreciate that they are testing early introduction if allergens compared to UK guidelines but it doesn't seem to take account of early weaning issues. Guidelines for peanuts are to have none of it til 3 years so maybe a better comparison would be that against introduction with weaning at 6 months. If I could guarantee which group we were in I'd do it but I'm not comfortable with introducing any food at 3 months. Shame.

We've had a good day. Got lots of jobs done before lunch then had a friend round. We're now just chilling til 5 ish when I go for the boy. Just need to decide whether to try and nap or just read.

 

[pinkclaire]

Yes I'm on antibiotics. Explains why I was feeling crap over the last couple of days. I've been told to feed off it first everytime I feed which I'm doing but it's making me everytime!

James is being good so far he's watching cbeebies so hopefully that will entertain him for a bit. If not I will bribe him with biscuits!!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I hear ya on the sleeping on you when it's hot. Thanks for the tip, PB GP says Alex is fine Lil menace!

 

[molly85]

Abs is a right wingey fart and just wanting cuddles.

pink def sounds like what i had and just got her to feed through it and used pump when i thought i would die squeeze her leg off.

PB i thought the theory looked good as abby will prob have the allergens when she weans, iv eatten nuts all the way through pregnancy and bfing dropped a few on her to.

 

[PeanutBean]

The study just seems to be a whole world of changes versus the recommendations. I ate peanuts in pregnancy too and would be happy introducing allergens at 6 months just not weaning at 3.

God what is it with families

At the weekend we had another incident with my OH's dad and wife about them asked to have Noah. Again we explained that no one would be looking after Noah while he's still on all of his reflux meds and when he was being looked after someone who wasn't me or my OH it would be because we were going out etc not just for the sake of it. So that caused huff number one.

Now my dad has just been round with his wife and announced they have some Italian friends, his wife is Italian, coming over at the end of the month and they would be coming to see Noah. I replied that he could phone and see if it was suitable, they wouldn't be just turning up to see my son as if he's a performing seal. My wondeful dad told me I was clearly fraught and emotional and he left in a huff!

Why are we not allowed to parent like we want without grandparent huffing!!

 

[molly85]

lol gilz I have the opposit problem as I am not that maternal I keep offering to take abby to visit people with them and pah noooo they don't want to go. Show your damn grandchild off people lol. But yep hate people just showing up i could be in puke covered pjs!

 

[madcatwoman]

Gilz i dont know what it is with our bloody families announcing theyre going to 'have' our babies, like you say, as if theyre performing seals!. You stand your ground, it doesnt win you friends but you have to!

My pleasure loopy, hope you get a bit more use out of them than Bailey.

Thanks peanut, hes on his gaviscon, and so far this afternoon he has fed alot better and has been is normal self, i hope it continues!!
Tas i often wonder the same ...why babies have to choose the hotest day to sleep on you, and their heads get all sweaty dont they?!!

 

[molly85]

Abby is in her chair covered in a blanky and wearing a summer hat was only trying on if fitted her and she has flaked out lol. How has she gone length ways from tiny baby to probably needing 0-3 shorty romper

 

[pinkclaire]

It's amazing how quick they grow isn't it Molly!

Even though Charlotte was a big baby she was long rather than big and all her clothes were massive on the body but tight on the length!

 

[loopylollipop]

Tas, would def be grateful for the 0-3m but wondering if Molly could use them more as Cat has kindle just sent me some through. What do you think Molly - do you want them? We are the only ones with teeny babes!

Gilz - OMG re your family issues! Why cant they understnad something so simple? And that it isnt personal? havent caught up re your feeding issues want to read it properly but just not had time.

PB am assuming if its a decent quality trial it would be an RCT and therefore you wont have an option. I wouldnt do it either.

Madcat I am sure Dylan will get loads of use out of them.The first size ones will last him a while, he is still in tiny baby ones but is starting to grow out of them slowly.

New carpet down will post some pics later on teen bedroom x

 

[tas1]

Hugs for you gilz,not sure why grandparents think they can have your children,I hate sharing them with anyone even if it's just a cuddle! And I hate it when people just pop round means you have to dressed and have the house tidy all the time even when you want a lazy day! Stand your ground,a phone call or text isn't hard to do before they come!

Loopy and Molly whoever wants them can gave them,I'll get the washed and dried before I send them! Can't believe he's grown out of them,I don't have a baby anymore

Xx

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Evening Ladies :wave:

HUGE Pink and dont worry about bribing James with biscuits we all do it now and again

Gilz would it be worthwhile to try and persuade Noah back to his old routine or was he waking 12-3am then too? and as for grand parent huffing you know my feelings on this one especially where MIL and step FIL are concerned infact your allowed to be fraught and emotional grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I just dont understand why some parents think that when they become grandparents they get to do the parent thing all over again mmmmmmmmm grandparents not parents the clue is in the title

madcat your very welcome and just glad I could be of help reflux really is crap

Way to go Abby

for wet nappies Ozzie and so pleased Alex is ok they do like to worry us though little monkeys

Tas you must let us have a peek at your photos

for a good day Peanut

and Yeah for the new carpet Loopy cant wait to see the finished room

Well Charlie was weighed and hes now 11lb 7oz so only a 3oz gain this week but better than no gain at all imo we have now been discharged until 3.5-4mths when my HV does the weaning visit so no more house calls until then I have had a clingy baby today must be the heat hes happy too Tas to sleep in my arms whilst getting an incredibly sweaty head

 

[molly85]

nooooooo i have 19 0-3 vests and 10 sleep suits lol i bought way tomany as everyone told me not to bother with newborn littl did they know. now if anyone wants and 3-6 vests or sleepsuits i have a fair few of them from my ebay purchases. loads in white.

 

[pinkclaire]

Sorry I've been crap at responding, gilz that is shit it's not like you said no just to check on the day? I don't think there's anything wrong with that! I think people forget what it's like to have kids!

Madly that's great about Charlies weight I hope it continues for you!

 

[gilz82]

Thanks for the grandparents support girls I'd never stop any of them seeing Noah but I just want them to respect my and my OHs rules. As Madly said we are the parents they are the grandparents.

Another thing that bugs me is that all six grandparents knew we were hoping my pregnancy would go well so that another baby would be a possibility for us. Now that option is well and truly gone you'd think they would understand why I'm so reluctant to relinquish any of my time with Noah. He's my only baby ever people just leave me in peace sorry just needed that out been crying on and off since my dad stormed off, it's the first super emotional day I've had for a while

Madly on Noah's feeding routine when he was doing the 8-8 routine he was still taking two to three night feeds. That was probably about 4-6 weeks ago. I'm going to lift him at 11 and feed him and see what happens. Will update in the morning

Hope all mums and babies have a good night that of course includes mums still growing their babies

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw gilz it is so horrible when people just do not listen and keep pushing, it in fact makes you even less likely to go to them should you need them to look after noah for the evening

the only time my son has been away from us was for our wedding night and even then thatwas for 9pm to 9am lol

quite honestly i would not want to force a mum to hand over her child to me who is still suffering from a condition or illness or anything that requires medication routines! i would feel it way too much responsibility i would be worried that i gave them too much, not enough, too many doses in too little time honestly i would drive myself crazy worrying that i wasnt looking after them properly!

i can totally see why you are upset at then end of the day noah is still on medication, he is still young and he is your only child! you are doing the right thing not giving in an handing him over! all of the reasons you have given are more than understandable!

well as for me i am getting a little hmmmmm concerned

so i mentioned a few days ago that she has dropped, she had definately dropped well the last couple of days my previous section scar has been hurting but have been told it is just scar tissue stretching blah blah nothing to worry about

i have also been feeling a hellof a lot of pressure and pushing down

well today i have been getting painful well what feel like kicks but obviously not more like turning of head and goodness they take my breath away it actually feels like she is going to fall out!

i have a consultant and midwife appointment next week so going to chat about it but honestly if i was like a month further along i would be thinking she is coming soon! especially as this is the second pregnancy! hoping not as only 32 weeks! but honestly feels like she is going to fall out!

 

[pinkclaire]

nomore! I felt like Charlotte was falling out a lot lol. Although when I did go into labour she did come out quick! Pregnancy is just full of worry isn't it!
