Just told my boss (the head teacher) that I'm pregnant!! So nerve racking. There's loads of ppl in my school that are either on mat leave or expecting so she doesnt get best pleased about these things!

Abbi I'm going to try to go to baby show in Manchester at end of August with my friend that's expecting 6 weeks after me!! X
 
Amelia that's brill you told her! Was she ok?

Abbie didnt even know there was a baby show haha!

X x x
 
Yea she was ok!! She thought she had her staffing sorted for September but now she has to find someone to cover me!!
Loved your photo on FB of not needing a side table btw!!
 
AmeliaLily-sounds liks she gets grumpy lol. I'm not pregnant yet but there is something in the water at my work-so if I do get pregnant I think my boss will be the same lol. I think there is a baby boom :-)
 
Yea she does get grumpy mrs H!! I know she's basically a business woman looking after her school but if people didn't have children then there wouldn't be any to teach!
Yea there does seem to be a baby boom. Apparently more babies are born during a recession than other times.
 
Exactly right AmeliaLily :-)
I wondered if that were the case re: the recession, I heard marriage rates usually increase during a recession too -people need things to look forward to :-)

I wanted to go but I will close to the 36 weeks I think and reckons is going to tell me I need to rest as I have pretty swollen feet at mo x x
 
Amelia thanks :) wonder how much I'll be able to rest on there in 8 weeks! :haha:

I'm sure your head will manage ok lol! Has she got children of her own?

Hay the course sounds good, what sorta things does it cover?

Pink I think it sounds like you need to be resting :thumbup:

X x x
 
Hi Ladies

Sorry I haven't been around I have been sooo tired and had another scan so have been staying off of the internet as I was starting to scare myself.

I hope you are all well. I had my scan today and baby is perfect :) my dates have been put back to my original dates so due 28th Oct. I will try and read through posts I have missed.

Xx
 
Yup recessions equal over worked Midwives lol i'm dreading going back i keep getting told how busy it is.....Sept is always super busy too with all the Christmas/New year conceptions =o)

When and where is the baby show?

Take it easy pink!

Glad you told work. I dreaded telling my boss and put it off until my scan but as i had been throwing up from 6 weeks most people know so to say she wasn't impressed i hadn't told her is an under statement!

The class sounds interesting Hay. I wanna find something local here i'm bored of my own company and have done nothing since the baby yoga. There is a baby signing course so might do that.

Sophia had a marathon of a sleep last night 20:30 until 09:00 couldn't believe it when i looked at my clock...she also had a 2 hour nap today which is good too but then when i was bathing her i noticed a little rash on her tum so now i'm worrying loads because she slept so much and has a rash so i've put 2 and 2 together and got 1million!!! She's sleeping now and she seemed ok so i hope i'm worrying over nothing =o(
 
Ahh fab news your scan was good Moomoo! Yeah Dr Google is evil stay away lol
 
Hay what course are you doing? I have made friends with 5 really lovely girls from a breastfeeding group I go to every Friday at our hospital and we do all sorts together its lovely as all the babies are between 11 and 18 weeks. We have started a baby massage class and starting a weaning class in a few weeks.

Thanks for your comments on expressing Abbie and Honey, I have tried everything to get him to take the bottle and have spent a fortune on different bottles and teats and nothing seems to be working. I have tried at different times of the day and all sorts but so far no luck, have tried not being in the room or even the house and still no joy.

Honey I won't be able to still breastfeed when I go back to work as I will be back 4 days a week so practically full time. I am going in to speak to my manager in a few weeks about going back and hope he is ok with the 4 days as I really don't want to do 5 I don't even want to do 4 but need the money and I wouldn't be able to do my job in less than 4so wont have a choice really. Amelia I was really nervous telling my manager when I was pregnant its so hard when you are split between career and baby.

How are your little ones getting on through the night? Aaron has slept through from 8 weeks (he is 12 weeks now) I was worried about him not waking up as he goes to bed after his last feed at about 8.30pm and sleeps to 6-7am every night. I got him weighed today though and he is doing brill 15ib1! He's always been great sleeping and has gone in his moses basket no problem from day one but has totally out grown it now so he's been in his own room for the last 2 weeks and looks much more comfy. I wasn't sure at first because I know they recommend 6 months to be in your room but there is no space for his cot in our room and he is only right next door with the doors all open.

Samie so sorry to hear about your friend I have just read the article it is so sad and really puts everything into perspective makes you realise how lucky you are just to be here xxxx
 
Glad your doing well Kix!
Sophia slept through from about 12 to 15 weeks then hit the 4 month regression and went back to waking twice in the night. The past 2-3 weeks she has started sleeping between 8-9pm waking about 5 for a feed then straight back down until 9ish but last night threw a 12hr plus! Shes 24 weeks now though so i was hard going =o(
She was in a crib but out grew it so we moved her cot to our room and thats when she started sleeping again so had we moved her earlier she might have slept better.

I can't bring myself to put her in her own room i'm such a wimp! I just love having her in with me....serious seperation issues from mummy not baby lol
 
Betty no she doesn't have any children! School is her life and she thinks everybody else should think the same way!!

Glad your scan was ok moomoo :-)

Samie great about Sophia sleeping through more now!! Luckily I didn't have sickness so when I told a few other ppl that I had to tell (head of department, deputy head etc) they were utterly gobsmacked as they had no idea!! Lol
 
You lucky thing!
I was sooooo ill from 6 weeks on the dot until the second she was born! Soon as her little legs left my body i felt human again lol
 
Well it's gonna be baby massage, and a good few other things il update as week go on. She did say what it covered but I have terrible baby brain!
Kix wow that's a good weight especially for breast fed :-) Allister was 13lb 14oz when I got him weighed fri before last think it was.
He has been sleeping thru for a few weeks now, but his dummy drives me mad have to keep puttin it back in thru night. But then if I put him in bed with me he doesn't have dummy and sleeps no prob without it. Mad!
Whos little ones have dummies?

Xx
 
Hay Ollie used a dummy for about 4-5 months and it was a godsend when he was in hospital when he almost dies coz the sucking calms the cough but he hasnt taken one for months, doesnt wanna know? Down side is sometimes he uses me for comfort sucking and to go to sleep. Still I had trouble getting the dummy from my daughter and next youngest son :haha: :haha: My eldest had one till he was bout 8 months then started teething and spat it out and never looked back, they are all different. Dummies are great soothers when children are poorly or upset :thumbup:
 
Amelia - aww that will be nice going with your friend. I said to my best friend that I want us to get pregnant at the same time next time (she had her lo a year before me) so that we don't have to spend so long not being able to get drunk together! haha!

Moomoo - great news! So glad it went well! :D

Pink - that is a shame! At least you can get looked after by your OH whilst you are resting!

Samie - the show is in Birmingham, London and Manchester I think. The one I am going to is in May. WOW! I would love Jake to do a sleep like that. I think he is teething cos he is very fussy at the mo. Just keep an eye on the rash, I am sure it is nothing serious. A lot of people worry about meningitis with rashes but from what I have read about it, a rash is rarely visible as it comes in the very late stages when septicaemia kicks in so don't start worrying about that! Jake has a bit of a rash on his stomach at the mo as well, I think it might be a bit of eczema though!

Kix - I am sorry you are having no luck. Maybe give him a break for a couple of weeks and try again? As for sleeping Jake is a terrible sleeper, he used to go down by himself and wake me once or twice but now he won't even go down. I am currently getting him ready for bed downstairs, feeding him and then taking him up to bed once he falls asleep. He wakes 2-3 times a night too! :( I don't want to teach him bad habits but I feel too awful just leaving him up there crying so I keep giving in and getting him. I have to force him to take naps too by bouncing his bouncer chair with my foot (I am doing that now actually) or pushing him in his pushchair. If I don't he will just stay awake and get really miserable! Hope it gets better...

Hay - Jake doesn't have a dummy. I tried him with one the other day and he did like it I think. I just feel like I have got this far without one so I should just carry on - I don't want to have to wean him off it. Not sure if I should just use one though - maybe he would sleep better? Oh and Jake sleeps brilliantly with me too - I guess they just find it comforting! Looking forward to hearing about that course...

For those that want to know about the show:-

Another 12 hr stint last night its fab! Not gonna get too excited because she's done this before then turned back again.
I never wanted Sophia to have a dummy but after those first good few weeks went I needed something to get some sleep but she refused it haha id agonised over it for sooooo long too but I kept trying but she didn't want it so she doesn't have one. I'm glad now that she refused it so I don't have the fight of taking it away when she's older.

Abbi Jake sounds just like Sophia was I really was at the end and didn't know what to do. Naps didn't exist and she was sooooo grumpy then bedtime was a fight every night for at least 3 hrs, I really wasn't in a good place. I eventually got the baby whisperer book and did the pick up put down method. It took a while and was truly stressful but Naps happen 2-3 times a day in her cot and bedtime takes about 30 mins now, we still have the occasional bad day but its much better.
Hope he improves I know how hard it is xxx
