Praying for a 2012 BFP and 2013 Baby!!!

[30mummyof1]

Was up most of the night as well girls, obviously writing touch wood is not the same as touching it!
Think Harry was teething again, so over the night gave him 2 sachets of powders and some calpol which eventually did the trick about 4 something! My Oh was so lucky to miss out on last night in his hotel room miles away....
can't believe you haven't ever had any help with night feeds, naughty dh's

Yes sounds like the early stages of teething Claire, Harry was about 3mths ish then got his 1st 2 at just turned 6mths

I wish my husband helped more but I was screaming in pain, rolling on the floor of the bedroom for over an hour when I was in labor, and I could not get him to wake. I had pulled all the blankets off and was pulling him off the bed by his feet before he finally woke up enough to understand what I was trying to tell him. But since day one he hasn't woken up in the middle of the night. He feels bad about it because he's always been this way, his mom used to have to pour water on him to wake him up for school when he was little.

He does what he can but he has school in the morning an hour after I go to work so now that I'm getting "used" to it I might as well continue to do it... he usually goes to bed after me though so a few days a week he will stay up with the baby and I go to bed around 9 or so and he'll bring the baby to bed around midnight and I get a couple extra hours sleep that way. There have been a few times out of frustration DH will start stirring in bed hearing the baby cry and I'll get him to wake up and feed him but that's usually around 7am so its not that early.

I think I jinxed myself because last night, LO had a feed around 9, and I wasn't quite ready to go to bed so I decided to stay up until LO had another feed around midnight and then go to bed. Well, LO didn't wake up, and finally at 1:30 I went to bed thinking, as soon as my head hits the pillow he's going to wake up. Well, he didn't. He woke up at 5am! So he slept through the night and I missed half of it because I was convinced he was going to wake up. So in the last 48 hours I had had 5-6 hours of sleep. I went to work today and was dozing off after the first hour so I came home sick and slept almost 5 hours while my mom kept the baby. I feel a lot better now and won't be trying to "stay up" anymore because I think he's getting to the age where he's going to be sleeping more anyway.

Claire I have to agree, sounds like she's teething. Jackson has been putting his fists in his mouth the last couple days too and has been very fussy, I wonder if he's teething early as he's been doing other things early too (like rolling over).

 

[MrsPTTC]

Glad Jackson was better for you the other night Kendra it sounds like DH is doing a bit to help but I still think seeing as you're back at work now DH should give you more of a hand during the night feeds. How was his sleeping last night? Or was it a one off? Jackson I mean not DH

It's gone quiet on the thread how is everyone? And what's happened to MrsMM? I'm just so worried about my baby, the 1st can't come quick enough. A friend on another thread is miscarrying for the 2nd time at 9 weeks. I really feel for her, its horrible, & it makes me worry about my little pea

[MrsPTTC]

Mrs... don't stress. Stress is not good for your body or baby at this point! I know its easier said than done even for people who haven't been trying as long as you have. Just relax, breathe, know that it's not in your hands, there is something greater at work (whatever you believe in) here.

We started Jackson on rice cereal in the bottle for his first morning feeding and his before bed feeding. He takes to the morning one very well, usually goes right back to sleep for a few hours after about an hour of play. The night one isn't as good though, I think it's because since he had eaten only a few hours before he doesn't get a lot in his belly before he's full and passes out. Usually he will eat 5-6 ounces in a bottle, with the cereal he only puts down 3-4 max... and that's if I'm really trying to keep him awake. So he's not sleeping that much better at this point and its hard for me as when he wakes up its about 430 am and I'm supposed to be up at six.. so I try to feed him really fast so I can go back to sleep for 45 minutes or so, and it just sucks because when I finally give him the morning bottle at like 7 he will go back to sleep for three hours! I keep thinking, damn, the babysitter gets him like that, and I have to go to work But now that it's the weekend I will be able to test it out better and get some naps in! I have never been so tired in my life as I have this week having to go back full time! i was working Monday-Wednesday the last month, so when Thursday rolled around this week my body was like, huh? ... and by today, oh Lord, I was dozing off again. I have been so unproductive this week, I hope my boss understands at least.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks Kendra, everything you said is true, still can't help worrying though will try not to. I think once the first scan is over with I'll feel better, when I see the hb

With hungry baby milk not being available in the US can you not just increase his milk?

[Flowerbaby]

Hi girls!!!

Hope you all well xx

Awww its hard on you being back at work and having too get up at all ours too feed Jackson i do feel for you Kendra xx I know my DH does bugger all but at least im off next day whereas you have too work, you must be exhausted hun xx

The hungry milk defo helps Poppy sleep better although thro day she still feeding every 2-3 hours but i dont mind! She now taking 5-6oz aswell with each bottle so i think she enjoys the hungry milk more than the awful comfort/colic milk i had her on, it tasted vile! Shes now pooing every day aswell! Yaaayy! I started her on baby rice yesterday, she spat it out of course and pulled funny face but swallowed some today, not much but defo better than yesterday! She slept fab last night aswell 715pm-745am with one bottle at 1am! Bet she dosent do it again! Lol! xx

I will post that pic of DH and Poppy as soon as i can get on laptop, he always bloody on it! Yes shop is fab MrsP, very professional and DH has a lot of fun in there aswell as works hard! x

Well im off too bed girls, shall speak too you all soon xxx

 

[Flowerbaby]

MrsP try not too worry too much hun, think positive ...your beanie is all snuggled in and growing nicely i just know it and i cant wait too see your scan pics. xx

 

[KendraNoell]

Mrs- it's not the amount of milk he's drinking, its the consistency. If I up his feeds and give him more he throws it all up. So I think the hungry baby type of milk is a thicker milk. That's why I've been adding the rice cereal to his morning and evening bottles so its thicker and he doesn't get hungry as fast. So far its not really working though I mean I guess it is a little but not as much as it will take me to start feeling human again.

 

[deafgal01]

MrsP- your beanie is just fine. Aug 1 needs to come around so you can see your baby's heart beating away. sorry to hear your friend is miscarrying. It is not easy to hear about things of the sort.

Kendra- hope the rice helps.

Baby hopes-how are you?

I'm starting my second week at another camp. Kids arrive today.

 

[30mummyof1]

wow thought it had been quiet and it was just because i hadn't got the updates!

Yes try not to worry mrsp, not long now. It is easy to say though and i drove myself crazy and ending up giving in to waiting at 10/11 weeks and having a private one!

ahh the sun is finally shining! had my friend round earlier with her kids almost 5 and 6, was funny even though they are quite a bit older than Thomas he was still trying to be bossy! don't know where he gets it from...??!
Now this afternoon another friend is over with her daughter who is same age as Thomas and new baby Travis ahhh can't wait for a little cuddle

Oh is away again tonight, so hmm what shall i cook for tea thats a bit naughty!

Looking forward to seeing pic Claire

dg and Kendra

 

[deafgal01]

well verdict is in. Not blockage definitely so now I am taking a little time to consider our next route in the journey to ttc.

 

[30mummyof1]

oh dg sorry to hear you don't have any more answers what are the next possible steps?
sending you big

Just had a little picnic with my friend and her twins, which was nice well apart from the regualr fighting between them and Thomas over toys etc!

How's everyone else? x

 

[deafgal01]

Three choices... Ivf with hopefully dh sperm if they find, or have dh stay on meds and hope we get lucky or go straight to donor sperm.

 

[30mummyof1]

ahh ok, so would you try ai with donor sperm before ivf if you go for that option?
