My First Response Ovulation Test

[Kitta]

Abagail, Olivia is adorable!!! Breast feeding is hard for some unfortunately. Have you tried shields? I used them for the first few weeks because Tessa would pull off several times during feeding. I don't need them anymore but they were great! Also seemed to improve her latch by teaching her to open her mouth wider.

I haven't gotten them yet but I plan to - I tried putting her on the breast again yesterday and she took right to it but it's still hard for her to latch right away and she gets a bit cranky over it

I'm sure Olivia will get the hang of it abagail Forrest how are u doing and Alaina

 

[Forrest]

I'm a bit cranky this morning! I don't understand how my husband can sleep through Tessa's crying! I ask him to take her so I can sleep an hour or so last night and that whole time she was upset, it irritated me to hear her I have no idea how he ignores her! I keep her down opposite of end of the house to minimize the noise at night, I'm co sleeping to minimize the time it takes to get her in the night so she doesn't wake him and my son! Currently totally exhausted and frustrated!
Any spare time I have during the day I spend cleaning (which is not much)! I went to get a drink and found the sink full of dishes again after I'd already cleaned the kitchen!
Sorry girls, I'm so cross ATM and very very tired :-/ Tessa came to bed with me at 12:30am (when I gave in to her crying with my husband) it's almost 4 am and I've fed her 3 times and changed a few nappies in between.
Hope you all are having better days.

Oh Kitta MEN! I'm sorry you're tired and having a rough time. I wish I was there to help you so you can get the sleep and rest you need. Moreover to play and cuddle with Tessa. She is too sweet. Take care and tell your dh to help out or else... you'll go to America by me to get rest lol I bet he will get things in order.

 

[Forrest]

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you are all doing good.
Afm ...I'm 16 weeks today yay! It's another milestone and I thank GOD for bringing me through. I'm happy to report I have a small baby bump finally. It's not quite obvious but it's there!

 

[sunflower82]

Hi kitta sorry to hear that it's unfair of
Your hubby to do that I hope he helps
You out soon Forrest I'm so happy for
You

 

[Alaina1217]

Hey girls I'm doing ok. I'm trying to get used to all the weird feelings in my uterus lol. I've been sleeping so much lately though

 

[Forrest]

Hi Alaina, enjoy your rest. Do you have morning sickness?
I never threw up but I had terrible nausea ALL THE TIME. Thankfully it's done with now. I only get nauseous sometimes. It's been replaced with headaches but I love the trade off. lol I must say that I'm enjoying every headache because I waited for years to get my bfp

 

[Forrest]

Ladies I have not yet felt my baby moving....should I be worried?
Do any of you remember when was the first time you felt movement?
My friend is just 2 + weeks ahead of me and she's been feeling her baby moving since before she reached 4 months.

 

[sunflower82]

Hello Forrest I wouldn't be worried about the baby movement too much yet it's still early
Every lady feels the movements at different times or just ask your doc next time and Aliana
Enjoy your rest

 

[Alaina1217]

I just get the nausea (thank the lord its not actual throwing up). I've been getting headaches on and off but nothing too bad and no sore boobs yet either

 

[Kitta]

Forrest, I'm not meaning to sound rude at all but it will probably look that way! I think larger girls have feel babies a bit further along than smaller girls. I've always felt movements early but I hold all my fat in my butt not my Tummy try not to compare your pregnancy with others. You have your checkups, your baby will be fine
(of course always get checked out when you are much further along and stop feeling movements ). Tessa was a quiet baby, Crispin was super active! I always worried about Tessa's movements!

Tessa is almost 8 weeks old now. She is smiling and chatting a little bit I had her 2 month check up yesterday and she has put on 695g In the past month! I'm happy with that! I'm still breast feeding her and everyone tells me she is too little but I think she is just a petite princess ;-) she also grew 3.3 cm long and her head is growing well too!
We have visitors coming today! I should be tidying up and having a shower. Crispin and I made a cake this morning for our visitors and he got the eggs out for me. He broke one on the floor accidentally. I love cooking with him though :-D

Hope you all are having a good day!

I do have one issue though, I have a stinging pain in my left boob. Its also hurting pretty nasty when Tessa feeds that side. Does anyone have any suggestions? I think I'll have to see the dr if it continues. It's quite uncomfortable!

 

[sunflower82]

Hi kitta how you doing enjoy with your guest

 

[Kitta]

My visitors were great thanks Sunflower! I haven't seen my aunt and uncle for a while so it was love to see them (and they have. 2 boys too so Crispin had loads of fun playing!) I hope you've had a good day! Are you enjoying your iPad? Mine currently has a crack in the screen! Crispin is really careful with it I don't know when or how it's happened. I'll get it fixed ASAP and I have a new child safe cover on order.
Alaina. Hope the nausea doesn't bother you too much !

I went to the 24 hour clinic tonight because the pain in my breast was getting worse. Nasty infection so on a big course of antibioticsc. Hopefully they help soon !

 

[sunflower82]

Oh I hope your pain gets better soon kitta yes I'm enjoying my iPad how are you ladies

 

[Alaina1217]

How is everyone doing?

 

[Forrest]

Hi, how is everyone? I hope fine.
sunflower how are you? How is your pain? Any progress on your surgery? I hope you get it done soon.

 

[Forrest]

Hi kitta how are you? I hope your pain stops soon and you feel better.

Thanks kitta. I've been told the same thing and considering my size I was curious. I was 104-105 lbs when I got my bfp and now I'm 112 lbs. I have no fat anywhere so it's weird that my friend who is 2wks ahead of me is way bigger than me is feeling her baby since last month. I just found it strange that's all.
