Mother of all conception months Graduates

[PeanutBean]

Sorry about my boring post. Blah. Stupid house stuff.

Gilz if it looks like a possibility do research it well. It sounds like the sort of procedure that might have as many side effects as benefits and if this really is something he's likely to grow out of, hard as it is, it would probably be better to lump it til then than opt got drastic surgery. Hopefully it won't come to that anyway.

By the way madly, it sounds like a great financial opportunity for you. I hope things work out. I would have no qualms about DH being breadwinner for a while. I've been the main and sometimes only earner for the full 10 years if our relationship and I reckon I deserve a break after two horrid pregnancies!

Oh no gilz I really hope it doesn't come to surgery! Fingers crossed weaning works and he liquid stuff! Are you allowed to wean early? I wish I was magic so I could make all these babies better!!!

Hope you can get your renovations sorted pb,it's such a nightmare with damp! We had aload of damp course done on our house a couple of years ago but sometime we still get mould and there are damp patches where they did the treatment! I too wish I was a millionaire

Hi ladies been trying to keep up ! My laptop has gone to heaven and keep trying to post on stupid new phone . Keep losing posts and doing random stuff. All ok here, babe currently on boob fascinated by light of my phone. Hugs to all poorly babes and struggling mums. Special hugs to mums still growing theirs x nomore hope your gramps pulls through x x x

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

Thank you so much for all of your support over the last few days and all your thoughts for my grandad

Unfortunately he hasnt made it.

I am absolutely devasted beyond words. I decided not to go up to say an official last goodbye, it would have been too traumatic for me I have never seen any good to having a last memory be so sad. My grandad was unfortunately very aware of what was going on but he was the bravest man a true hero.

I miss him so much already just trying to remain as calm as i can and breathing through everything so not to get too worked up. little rachael kicking around as normal so far so hopefully i am doing good by her by just breathing through, living above a pub has come with lots of food being bought up for me to make sure i keep my strength up

i just want to say again thank you so much for all your support and thoughts, you have no idea how much that has meant to me

xkx

 

[PeanutBean]

I am so sorry nomore. There is sometime relief in the end of the wait but I'm sorry it has ended in this way. I'm sure your girl will be just fine so don't worry about her. Let yourself grieve or it'll all flood out after the birth. I'm glad you're being taken care of at least.

 

[madcatwoman]

Oh nomore, so sorry, you sound so close to your grandad as well x

Gilz god i hope it doesnt come to an operation, i know what youre saying though about the valve/muscle to the stomach, ive heard about it before. Give the weening a damn good go. I know what you mean, the thought of anything being wrong, let alone an operation on our babies is just unbareable.
Poor Noah,.whens his luck going to change?.

All things good here, i had another full nights sleep from 10pm till5.45am,he was just kicking his arms and legs and gurgling away there in his basket and smiled at me when i decided to get up and see to him!
He has a very predicatable routine in the mornings. awake at 5.45, kip at 7.30, feed at 8-8.30..........

 

[pinkclaire]

I'm so sorry nomore

Its taken me two days to catch up lol but thanks for those who gave me support.

I have the slappIng thing as well with my toddler, it's when he's tired and for attention.

 

[gilz82]

Nomore I'm so sorry about your Grandpa. Massive hugs I understand why you didn't go to hospital, I went when my gran was dying and then after my mum died to see her. With hindsight I wish I'd done neither as you can't take that back as yor last memory. If there is any we can help some how let us know.

PB if we get pushed towards the surgery I will research it to death. The problem will be if weaning doesn't help. If it doesn't help he's looking at having this problem until 18 months even longer maybe. I really couldn't watch him suffer until that point. It'd be different if his reflux came in bouts but it's all day everyday and I feel like it's already ruined the first three months of his life.

Madcat Bailey is a little champ well done him on sleep through! You'll need to get used to sleeping in long stretches again

Morning Ladies :wave:

Gilz hon I hope the omeprazole liquid works am not sure I would be happy with the operation either fxed it wont come to that and weaning will help loads whilst we are on the subject I cancelled Charlie review at the hospital with the two clowns however the Receptionist called yesterday about his appointment with a dietician. The two clowns did mention this but I thought it was to do with weaning him back off the lactose free milk when the time came and cause hes not on it now I didnt think it was nessecary However the Receptionist said the dietician is really good with reflux babies you know giving advice and stuff and I do have questions mainly about when it comes to weaning So we have an appointment next Tuesday afternoon and should he need to see a consultant after that she said I should ask to see a different team Apparently the two clowns were junior Drs no wonder they were crap and with attitudes like they have probably wont go far in their professions grrrrrr!

Peanut sounds complicated imo why is anything like that never easy

HUGE NOMORE I so sorry glad your been looked after but as PB said please let yourself grieve now because it will all flood out after the birth otherwise

well done Bailey

:wave: Loopy, Pink & Tas how are you all today?

Well a 11pm-6.40am stint here he woke at 5am I put his dummy in and he went back off Hes currently having a Mummy love

Charlie is most def teething right now and we had to get calpol out last night he was doing the painful cry He keeps ramming his fists and well anything into his mouth on a happier note he has a new favourite ickle teddy hes called Larry the Lizard and hes a tiny beanbag toy from the `me to you` range Charlies eyes pop out of his head and his arms and legs thrash ten to the dozen when you hold Larry in front of him and shake him

Slightly off topic but I realised for some of us its nearly a year since our babies were concieved Charlie was concieved at the end of July 25th/26th It got me thinking about it over the weekend because although I didnt say anything Sunday was the anniversary of our before we concieved Charlie The Grads have been together for over a year now Peanut started this thread on 22nd August not sure when the conception thread was started though will have to go check that one out I think its amazing we have been together for so long now and I dont know what I would have done without the support and friendship of all you lovely Ladies

 

[PeanutBean]

Gilz, aside from how horrid an operation would be, I'd want to know how it would affect him in later life. Whilst 18 months of it would be awful, for me it would be the lesser of two evils if the operation could cause problems in later life. Obviously I know nothing about the operation and could just be a simple thing but I would want to know all about later effects too. Fingers crossed it won't come to that though and the weaning will help.

Wow madly a whole year! We are dedicated ladies.

Wish I could sleep through at night. The problem isn't really even Indigo. I so hate insomnia. I always get a nighttime madness I can't sleep through. Last night it was a combination of Harry Potter (I'm half way through the last book now) and should I have spent hundreds more pounds I don't have and got a Nikon camera instead of the Pentax!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

to all, good or bad, lol. I really am reading everything.

Alex gained 13oz in a week! I have a VERY greedy baby, lol!

 

[madcatwoman]

Why do you think you should have spent more&got a Nikon Peanut?, or was it a twighlight insomnia thought?!!

I echo that Madly!!. Its fantastic we have all stuck together through our pregnancies(&TTC) and now we have our babies and a new journey altogether!, i felt like this point was so far off, but here we all are now!. Its been fabulous to chat to you!!

 

[gilz82]

Totally agree you girls are all wonderful and it's been fantastic having your support through the whole journey. I think the TTC thread was started in June or July. Did anyone ever hear from babywearinmum again?

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Ladies when I think back to joining bnb and TTC it now seems yonks ago but then at the same time this year has gone really quickly

I am so happy I am sharing this journey with such wonderful Ladies who are now Mummies and Mummies to be

Totally random but for those of you looking for sleepsuits with generous length I just realised TU/Sainsburys are very generous in length Charlie had a brand new three set pack and I have just bathed him and popped on one .... they are 0-3mths and sooooo long in the leg I dont think hes the longest grad babe but still they have more room in them than any other sleepsuit he has Just an idea for those of you needing 3-6mths

 

[madcatwoman]

MAdly, it felt like ages when i was pregnant, but now looking at it, its flown by. When you think about all the weird and wonderful things we have chatted about as well!

Anyone know next has a VIP sale on soon (cheapie baby stuff)

 

[vbaby3]

no more,so sorry to hear about your grandad.x

Gilz,poor wee noah.An operation would be my worst nightmare too,fingers crossed he improves on weaning and you don't have to think about operations.When are you starting weaning?

Can't believe how well charlie and bailey are doing,I can't really see teagan sleeping through until she' taking a bit more formula in during the day,she's still taking over an hr to feed,and sometimes taking 3oz,others taking the whole 5.She just couldn't be any different from her greedy brothers!

Peanut,I also find it so hard to get to sleep after nightfeeds,sometimes I never manage it and of course they're the days oran decides to get up at 6am,the days he sleeps til 8 teagan will be up at 6!!
I just can't switch off my brain,I have to read until my eyes can no longer stay open and switch the light out literally when they've closed and hope another random thought doesn't enter my mind.
If it does I switch the light back on and read again,there's no point in me lying there trying to sleep coz all I do is keep looking at the clock and freaking out that I'll have to get up soon,which makes me even more awake

 

[vbaby3]

The next sales are always fab,I always get bigger stuff for my kids in them and sometimes put them away for months til they fit!
Most of the stuff has 50%off,wonder is it on here too

 

[gilz82]

Madcat I was just looking at the next sale preview and Vbaby I was picking out the things that would do Noah in the next couple of sizes up

Vbaby we are starting weaning next month and I'm trying to stay optimistic about how much it'll help him. I have had some positive feedback from other mums with babies with reflux and I've had a couple of mums who said weaning made reflux worse and all they ended up was lumpier sick. I suppose I have absolutely no control over which way it goes so I'll just try to stay positive

 

[vbaby3]

fingers crossed gilz.poor wee man has been through enough.x
