[Traskey]

Congratulations Logan, what a lovely name. For some reason I don't have you on FB either but I think i've sent you a request from Andrea's list.

Sarah, BF seems to be really difficult for everyone. None of my cousins have ever managed it so I admire those that can.

Stacey, glad DH will be back soon. Better clean up the car hair

Rachel, I admire you for giving up those 5, that's like my favourite 5 things

Vikki, hope you make it through today ok, with the family gathering.

Andrea, hope Josie is feeling a little better.

Sarah I bet you're a great mum, don't feel bad about struggling everyone does at times! I felt awful that I couldn't give Eden what she needed breastfeeding-wise because of my low milk quality, but she's happy and thriving on formula now so I know I did what was best in my situation. As long as you and your LO are happy and healthy that's all that matters *big hugs* xxx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Logan, thanks for the short version of your story. And welcome to baby Bryce!! Just a reminder-- cabbage leaves will dry up your milk!

Stacey-- sorry about your car. At least you have public trans available... we don't have any of that here. But hopefully they will have it fixed.

Sarah-- big big Stick with it. You're a terrific mom! And it will get easier in the next couple of weeks, and even moreso in the coming months. The first six weeks are the hardest.

Tracey, how are things going? (I'll be headed to your journal in a minute anyway...)

AFM... having BH for a few hours now... pretty sure that's all they are, though. Of course I'll keep you all updated if anything changes.

Vicki...hope the outing goes okay...I can relate to the anxiety of those trips in the early days. Yay for some Well done on the bfing.

Good to hear from you Logan...was the decreased HR due to the cord around his head maybe?? SOunds like a quick delivery. HOpe the milk dries up quickly for you and the hormones ease up. The early days are amazing, but hard. We appreciate the updates!!

Ysatis...how are you and the twines??

Tracey, don't you have a MW appt soon??

Stacey, glad you are coping okay with Mo gone, sorry to hear abut your car. Hope its fixed soon.

Sarah, BFing is hard, it will get easier...have you tried a paci?? Pumping and giving a bottle occasionally really helps. Hope you get some sleep soon.

Rachel, that is random (about the piano). Can't believe you are giving away all those things again..I remember that last year. I couldn't give up the cheese...I love cheese!

Jen, exciting...can't believe in one way or another your LO will be here in 3 days!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

THREE DAYS? I swear yesterday it was like a week away! lol Can't wait now, come on Princess Crumb! (LOL) xx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hehe @ Princess Crumb!

Yeah, three days or less. I'm hoping for three days, though. Since all these BH have come on, I'm suddenly feeling a little panicked... Idk what's up with that...

 

[DrGomps]

Jen you are going to be a mom of two...in just a few days. I would probably be a bit panicked, excited, eager etc.

Come on princess crumb.

Josie is not doing well. Breaking my heart. Crying and sick. In pain. Poor baby. I am going crazy. Never heard her cry this much. Ever. I wish there was something I could do.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Awww, there is nothing worse than when your baby is sick!! You just wish it could be you instead, you know?
Is it a cold or what?

 

[truthbtold]

Hi ladies.

Congrats Logan I love the name Bryce. I cant wait to see pictures.

Jen did you find out the gender or is everyone just guessing crumb is a girl lol

Sarah i hope breastfeeding gets easier for you.

I hope everyone else is doing well. Time is going so fast. Ysa almost in the second tri and Stacey is in the third tri. I cant believe we are still on the ttc boards when everyone is pregnant or delivered lol.


Afm Im just enjoying everyday with Jeremiah before i head back to work in April. I turned 30 on Valentines day never thought i would be married with three kids at 30. I never had dreams of marriage or kids its so funny how life has changed for me lol. Guess i will sit back and enjoy the ride.

 

[Traskey]

Jen, i'll hope those BH hold off then so you can have your Feb 22nd baby.

Stacey, hope your car gets fixed today.

Andrea, i'm sorry Josie is so unwell. Do you know what it is? Will pop over to your journal.

Erika, happy 30th birthday for Tuesday. Hope you had a lovely day.

Ysa, how are things with you? Sarah, Rachel and Vikki

AFM, had the midwife appointment yesterday. All was ok, we've chosen a hospital and now there's nothing else to do apart from wait for the 12 week scan. Although we do have the scan at the fertility unit on the 28th to see if it's 1 or 2.

 

[sspencer99]

Morning all and thanx I'm so lost without my car Nd have had to get up eailer to get the bus into work
Mo is back today and I can't wait to see him lol

Jen just two more days yay I cnt wait to see what ur having

N Tracey not long till ur scan

Erika happy bday for last week you kept that quiet cheeky cheeky lol

Have a good day all xxxxxxxxx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hey, Erika, happy 30th!! I just had mine in August... Are you and Tracey and me the oldest in here?
No, we didn't find out the gender, but everyone seems to think it's a girl... everyone on BnB and everyone in real life, too!! Except me and DH.

Stacey-- yay for Mo being back, and hopefully your car is fixed soon!

 

[DrGomps]

Happy 30th Erika!! You are way ahead of me on the kids front. I turn 30 next year and will only have one (and maybe a 2nd on the way, but probably not). Glad you are enjoying your mat leave!!

Tracey how exciting, your first MW appt!! I can't wait until your scan, just 8 days!

Jen, how you feeling??

So Josie had a better night, no more screaming. She did puke a little twice and still has a cough. But the gas seems better. Her runny nose is gone. It was so hard hearing her cry like that. I am so happy she is back to her happy disposition. Steve is convinced its something I ate, that hurt her tummy. But I haven't changed my diet radically. I an just eating less.

 

[truthbtold]

Glad Josie is feeling better.

Tracey I cant wait to hear if you will be a twin momma.

Jen your time is just about up. I hope your prepared for newborn toddler days there no joke lol. You may be better at it then me. You probably already have Thomas on a schedule. I wonder how Logan is handling it.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Andrea, glad Josie seems a little better. It doesn't sound like something you ate... could eating less affect her somehow? I know nothing about this. I think she just caught a little something.
Seems like when they're that little, they catch things so quickly and easily but usually it goes away just as quickly.

Erika-- haha I'm not sure how I could prepare!! What advice can you give me?
I think Thomas is a little older than your middle guy? I feel like he's pretty stable... does a lot for himself... and yeah, he's on a good schedule as far as meals and bedtime and stuff. I'm just worried that when Crumb comes, I will have to be on a completely flexible, 24-hour schedule... and still keep DS on his...

If nothing else, kindergarten starts in six months.

 

[truthbtold]

Sadly i have no advice lol. Thomas is older Marcel just turned three. He still goes to daycare during the day i wanted to take him out to save money while i was on leave but he would have lost his spot. But when he is home its like he reverts back to baby ways....whining...babbling....he wants to be picked up of all things lol just craziness. But a lot of other tot moms told me to expect this. But Thomas is a preschooler he should be a little better I didnt realize he was that much older.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Yeah, Thomas did that a LOT when I was babysitting a one- and two-year-old and he was not yet four. He would whine and talk like a baby and he acted out really bad. It was hard.

I can already see that he's going to do that a little bit when Crumb comes... sometimes he pretends to be a baby... but I'm trying really hard to impress on him that he's the big brother and he's going to help me... he likes to help, so hopefully that will work.

I just can't believe I will have Crumb in my arms THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!!

 

[sspencer99]
