[tazgirl]

Going to the Royal (if not staying at home haha).

Where are u going LaurGil? I see that you, me and Nuke are all very close together for due dates!

I feel like I will be starting from scratch again after 5 years, it's been a long time since the baby stage and life is so easy again, help, what have I done LOL!

 

[tiggertea]

Can I join you please???!!!!

Hi, my names Lindsay and I live in Belfast with my OH and my 2 week old son! Cayden Alexander Mccullagh was born on 30/01/12 at 1240 hrs at the ulster. Im still recovering from a c section so cant drive at the minute luckily my OH is off work until the start of march. Cayden is doin really well apart from the breast feeding. He was 3 weeks premature and is slightly jaundiced at the minute. He was in intensive care for 2 days with underdeveloped lungs and was fed off a drip. All these factors are making him lathargic and it's hard for him to latch on. I just feel like I'm constantly attached to him or a breast pump!

I was introduced to this thread by my sis in law - nifirsttimer - kathryn.

I'm off to do more feeding!!! X

 

[EmyDra]

Awww tazgirl that sounds awful really hope this time round is a really positive experience for you.

I'm dieting for the next three months. Will see how it goes, since I haven't concieved in the two months I wanted too (really niave to think I would I suppose) I'm using the time to learn to drive and lose some weight, which is wise really

Heya! Numpty! :wave:

 

[tazgirl]

Thanks Emy, good luck with your diet!
Are you having formal driving lessons or is someone taking you out? Driving lessons seem to be so expensive nowadays! Good luck with them anyway

Welcome Lindsay, I am new on here myself
Congratulations on the birth of your little boy! Sorry to hear of all the problems you are having. I had problems getting breast feeding established with my DS 5 years ago after having a CS and I did not have the added complication of a premature baby so well done on doing so well with perservering! Good that you have some support with your OH being off for a few weeks yet. Hope things get easier for you all soon

 

[NuKe]

welcome and congratulations lindsay! i do believe we have met once before! at ruby's first birthday party (i was the one with the tattoos)

 

[JosieM]

Hi Lindsay and Congrats! Good luck with the bf. I had both my babies at the Ulster too.

Hope the diet goes well Emydra. Dunno if this is nonsense or not but when I was ttc my first, I read somewhere that full fat Greek yoghurt could help, I ate this daily with honey and seeds and a month or so later I got my bfp, not very conducive to dieting though! I also conceived one month after a session of acupuncture, could all be coincidence but we had been ttc for a year and a half. Second time, Jack Daniels played a part!

 

[MajellaG]

Welcome numpty!

Gd luck with the driving emy - you would know yourself if you got your test. I was sayong to my mum yesterday, I'd have to be put down if I lost my licence now - I dont think I could cope!!

 

[numpty1979]

welcome and congratulations lindsay! i do believe we have met once before! at ruby's first birthday party (i was the one with the tattoos)

Yeah I remember! I was nosying at your wedding pics through Kathryn's Facebook. Loved your dress!

 

[NuKe]

aw thankyou very much

 

[lauzie84]

Welcome Lindsay and congrats!!

Emma - are you not ttc for the next few months?
Im learning to drive at the moment and it's honestly the best thing I've ever done!

Linds- I'm going to give Jo jingles a go. If it doesn't work out I won't go back.

Going to have to book my baby rave tickets this week.

Down in Donegal at the mo. everyone is napping so I thought I'd catch up on here!! Xxx

 

[EmyDra]

Driving lessons are awful for money, OH only passed his test in August and I'm going to learn with the same guy. There's quite good deals that brings the price down to about £20 a lesson which I don't mind paying, after a few I'll go out in our car. I've had 5 lessons previously a couple of years ago so I know the basics, I've also had one motorcycle lesson and drove a scooter for 18 months so I have 'road confidence'. Hoping it won't take too long.

I'm not worrying too much about TTC, at the end of the day it's only been two cycles and it's still 'normal' for it to take about a year, I hope it doens't but still. I'm 10lbs lighter than when I concieved Silas so you'd think it would happen fairly quickly.
I'm on a mediterrian diet so loads of nuts and geek yogurt anyway!

Yes, Laura I'll race you!

Beep beep

 

[JosieM]

£20 a lesson, it's so expensive. Think it was about £13 when I was learning but that was a long time ago. DH only learnt to drive 2 years ago when we decided to start a family, before that he was happy to be taxied about by me. I have friends who have had some dodgy instructors in Belfast who messed them about which is a disgrace given the money they charge. Hope it goes well Emydra, at least you're not a complete beginner.
