I'm like a lazy beached whale today!!
Got flu jab yest.
Hve no energy today.
Not sure if coincidence or not.
I'm lucky its a playschool day.

 

[maryanne1987]

Lilesmom you must come and cook me something now! Im starving lol. I'm with you on feeling like a beached whale though. Moving is on my list of things I don't want to do today. Just can't be bothered.

Doctor and midwife went well. Still heading towards a section though. Kinda over being worried about it now. Long as baby comes out safely I don't care. Be nice to know which one for sure though. Will now within the next two weeks or so.

 

[lilesMom]

My fridge is full if u wanna call over
Then my weird cravings made me go get a hot chicken roll

Glad ur app went well xx
Sorry ur still in limbo.
I've reconciled myself to a section now really
Longer recovery but safe bub
So all good xxx
Hugs

 

[Lucasmum]

Well it's no surprise my list still hasn't been done

Will try and get onto it tonight (who am I kidding)

Though I have seen a few changing bags I like so I may order one of those at least

 

[maryanne1987]

You need to start a delivery service lilesmom! Although I've got hubby cooking for me tonight. He's trying to be supportive and give me a rest but if I don't reply to this thread then you know I've died of food poisoning

Haha Lucusmum. Have you got much left to get for baby?

 

[Lucasmum]

Steriliser, breast pump, bottles, matteress, sheets, nappies, wipes, changing bag, clothes, breast pads, lotions and potions, nursing bras and probably a ton more stuff I'm forgetting

But look I made a list

 

[Lucasmum]

Wish someone would come cook for me as well I got in from work at 1915 to be greeted with I'm hungry I'm starving I'm going to die soon all from Lucas OH hadn't even done his tea sorted him out first as I'm not in the mood for dealing with a death although Lucas is the noisiest dead person you will ever come across and I'm just sitting down with mine

 

[maryanne1987]

Shame you don't live closer. I have a steriliser here you could have. You expressed didn't you with Lucus? What pump did you use? I'm using a tommee tippee hand pump and getting hardly anything. But Aurora has self weaned and won't nurse. I'm in agony. I'm thinking I'm doing something really wrong, it took me an hour to get 6 ounces.

 

[Lucasmum]

I did till I got bored I just the avent manual pump I had no trouble with it at all but I was very lucky the whole breast feeding thing was so simple and easy for us I can only hope that if it's half as easy this time round I'll be happy I'm not planning n expressing much it's more for Lucas than anything as he is desperate that one of his main jobs is feeding her I can hardly deny him he has waited so long for a sibling I feel I won't have a lot to do at all as he wants to do it all

So instead of doing anything useful I just booked an extra night away on our little trip in October what's wrong with me

 

[maryanne1987]

Are you going anywhere nice?

 

[Lucasmum]

Blackpool nothing exciting just some time out away before baby arrives for a few days

 

[Lucasmum]

OH is being incredibly mean he told me there was no way on this earth he was paying for the changing bag I want to be fair it is £79 but it's so pretty

He has said we will get the matteress and steriliser next week though, but they are boring and I want a pretty bag

 

[maryanne1987]

Sounds lovely. Bet you can't wait. I love Blackpool. Used to go there for dance competitions twice a year. Must take the children up one day. It's quite a long drive from us though. Be worth it though.

What changing bag was it? i have to admit that my favourite changing bag I have is my big slouchy red kite bag. It was only like £25 too. It's huge and still looks great after a year using it. DH buys me a lot of changing bags and although they are really pretty they aren't always that practical. The worst one is the pink lining bag he bought me, it looks lovely but after a few weeks using it it looked really tatty. I've banned him from wasting more money and buying me things now. We need savings and he wastes so much money. Drives me insane! Although he's adamant on getting me a push present, so I might let him off on that one as long as it's something that sparkles lol.

 

[lilesMom]

I got nothing off oh when I had simon
Yet when his sister had his niece recently
He bought baby a pressie
But went out looking especially for something for his sis after
Cos in his words she deserved a present cos the mom gets forgotten
Really????
Ahem ahem!!!
I give up.


No more move on my hosp bag either
Squishy doesn't go to school on wed
So busy day.

Had to go back to garage again
They were adamant they posted the cheque
But I got nothing
Cancelled and reissued it today.
Super annoying how hard u hve to hound them
But least I got it anyway !!!

 

[Lucasmum]

It was the yummy mummy one with either black cabs or owls I think they are pink lining aren't they? Hmmmm don't want it looking tatty after a few weeks maybe I should rethink

I didn't get a push present with Lucas either better start dropping hints for one this time round

We found out today that OH's sister is calling her baby Millie I always think of Millie as being a dogs name but to top it off the baby will be Millie Marsh I mean really

 

[maryanne1987]

Drop hints for a pretty change bag! Lol. I think you deserve one! You work so hard.

Millie marsh isn't the best name. My god child is called Millie but the surname is much better thank goodness.

Lilesmom really?? He owes you something nice this time. For me it's not to do with the money and wouldn't care if it was something cheap, it's the thought that matters the most. I'm sorry your still having trouble with the garage. Hope it's all sorted now. Hopefully your lovely car will be worth it.

 

[lilesMom]

I was actually thinking yest I like Millie
But I've a million names in my head
And Oh would never go for it

 

[lilesMom]

I like daisy too
But our dog is daisy

 

[LynAnne]

Millie was the name of my dog before we got her and changed it to Roxie. She just isn't a Millie whatsoever!

Sorry, I've been so rubbish at keeping updated with you ladies! I've been reading along but, honestly, I don't know where my energy is to reply half the time at the moment. Doesn't help that I do seem to have caught DH's cold now! Fortunately it doesn't seem to have hit me as hard as it hit him. I've just got a scratchy throat and sniffles. In fact, it isn't that bad at all.

I think that's us got the last of the "big" things for little guy now. Yesterday I built his rocking crib that will be in our room and he will sleep there for the first few months. We still have to rearrange our bedroom to make a bit of space but that can be done in the next couple of weeks. Will have to do it before he arrives though so that the dog gets used to it being in the room as she sleeps in her own little bed in our room. What I need to do now though is compile a list of all the last few little things we have still to get and prep a hospital bag for us. I keep putting it off!!

 

[maryanne1987]

Do you have a short list of names yet lilesmom? Can't wait to hear what you pick once little lady is here. She will you get your date for a section?

Sorry to hear about your cold Lynanne. Hope it passes soon. How are the headaches now? It's so exciting once you have almost got everything done. I love seeing Henry's crib in our room. Can't wait till he's here to go in it.

Had a midwife appointment today. Apparently my consultant has written to my midwife saying that I'm hesitant to have a section although it's recommended for many reasons, baby being breech, previous issues birthing and can she refer me to a midwife who specialises in birth trama to discuss with me what's best for baby. I'm super annoyed, since I haven't refused a section, only said I'd prefer to avoid it if possible. My consultant is getting impatient as I won't just book one now and I don't see why I should. Thank god the midwife at the day assessment unit is on my side and she said in my situation she would wait to see if baby turns too rather than just agreeing to major surgery that may not be needed. I'm so fed up of it all. Feel like I'm being pushed into a c section, not sure what else I can do. Should I stand my ground and say I want to give baby till 36 weeks to turn or should I just book it now and get the consultant off my case.
