pregnancy buddies due in June 2009!

[ClaireyF]

Nats, i have to mop the kitchen and dining room this morning and make the beds, my grandparents are coming to stay until sunday, i got to go collect them at 1pm from train station so i wont be on much this weekend. my week off has been ok, it would have been better if i could have gone out but i've had to wait in for this bloody delivery!!! it will probably come 10mins after i have left the house this afternoon. Hope you don't have a cold coming!! Oh and its only the built in freeview that i messed up on the tv so managed to get the normal non digital ITV last night in time for corrie but DH still isnt impressed lol. i had some making up to do

Jue, hope you don't have a cold too

Kathy, hope you manage to sleep well!! xx

 

[mrsholmes]

yeh we do, so if the owner dont come forward it would go there, so thats ok!

No newborns as my cousins are the about the same age and only one of my friends have had a baby but she lives in Devon so I didnt see the baby until it was 7 months- I found them ok at that age- not as scary!

 

[happy mum]

Thats ridiculous Cath. Dh doesn't need to feed the baby to bond!! my dh is very bonded to his kids and i bf them exclusively for 8 months. he can change nappys, wind, dress , bath,..... the list is endless.... just make sure he has his jobs with baby so he feels included. i was abit possesive with mine that peed dh off but learned my lesson!!

too late for this cold i'm full of it!! booo... feel crap!!

 

[mrsholmes]

First time i held a newborn>>>>>>> god i can't remember. i think it was prob younger brother when i was ten then , sister 13. always been obsessed with babies. my older sister kids. then i became a maternithy nanny looking after just newborns for first 6 weeks getting them into sleep and feeding patterns, so just held newborns for 3 years loved that before marrying dh and having my own. what am i going to do then as not having anymore?????? be grabbing newborns off streets for a cuddle.... ooo ijust love them. my friend had hers last week.going to see her on monday. hope i've got rid of this cold. hers was just a wee one 6lb 10oz.... mines prob that now ha ha!!

I have an idea u can come and be my maternity nanny

thanks, he will def have his list of jobs! I suppose u can read to much (esp on here)

sounds like u have a day like me claire, ive got my two friends coming at 12pm toorrow till sunday, so im cleaning doing the beds etc and wont be on over the weekend

where Jue/serina this morning?

 

[ClaireyF]

i can see serina is watching this group at the mo xx

 

[ClaireyF]

and jue is probably making pancakes again lol.

cath are you going out while your friends are staying? i still have to think of places to take my grandparents.

i think we should all live in a big house once we have had the babies and all the mothers (Nats, Jue, Serina, Kathy etc) can show you and me what to do!! xx

 

[Jkelmum]

Lol claire yes i am not used to 4 pages to read over night and think ive forgot most already
Kathy have a nice sleep xx
Cath dont worry i was 14 when i first held a baby and he was mine I think everything is natural with your own i still hate holdin newborns that arnt mine

I think the feedin i am gunna have a fight with mw about it they dont question bottle feeding ...but i want to express from day 1 as bf isnt for me my boobs are too big i felt like i was suffercatin ethan and they will tell me to try BF b4 expressin but i dont wanna i want to do what makes me happy cos happy mum equals happy baby most of time

 

[mrsholmes]

What a good idea!

yes we are not sure where tho.......as we normally go on the pop for a couple of days! prob go out for food one night and maybe go to margam park as theres lots of things there to do and some shopping. Not sure about grandparents tho.....when my aunty stayed with me when lived in cheltenham shes in her 60's we went to gallerys and museums which was surprising good!

Joke on Balamory made me giggle..

thats mad! it shouldn't matter if ur expressing, my friend has big boobs and she was worried about the same thing

does it make a diff if u have small boobs? mine were 36b before I got pregnant, but they are growing 40d at the moment

Morning!

I'm having one of those mornings where I'm having trouble waking up! Violet slept through to six and then I managed to get her back to sleep with me for another hour or so. I'm also having to wait in today. Our boiler has a leak and someone is coming round to look at it, any time between 8 and 6 - why cant they at least give you a vague idea when they might be coming?!?

Hope the cat is OK Cath, poor little thing. With any luck they will find the owner.

I can't remember ever holding a newborn (apart from Violet!). I wouldnt worry Cath - I BF exclusively and my DH didnt have a problem bonding. I had a hand pump and tried expressing but didnt have much luck. This time I might invest in an electric one so that I can give the odd bottle.

We took Violet to Orlando in June last year and thought it was so hot! I guess I'm just not used to that sort of heat (and Violet wasnt impressed either) - especially walking around the parks. I found myself walking from shop to shop just trying to cool down in the air conditioning! I'd love to take Violet (and bump!) again in a few years, but I think I'll be going when it's a lot cooler next time!

Hope you get over your cold soon Nat!

Sorry if I've missed anything/anyone! I think I might go get myself a coffee!

When my boobs was smaller i had no probs dont worry ....with ethan i was juggerling keepin boob of his face while makin sure he was latched on and when i was stoppin boob goin on his face he kept unlatching as he couldnt breath thru his nose from my boob covering it

I think I might get one of those - which one do you have Serina? The mini or the swing one? Or are there others?

It used to take me ages to hand pump. I used to get an ounce after about 30 mins pumping so gave up.

 

[Jkelmum]

mini melda cost 25 pound off ebay and i sold it for 32 after usin it for 6 months so guess they dont loose there value x
