Hey for mrs h :hugs: team blue baby Finlay can't wait to here the story......and you Amelia!

Pinky eyes...your next!

I'm jealous!

Had my return to work chat yday wasn't fab but we will see xxx
 
Yay for mrs h! I'm the next one due at daisy birthing too - seems very real now!
Xx
 
What is the daisy birthing thing like? I saw a leaflet once but seemed very expensive.

Are you all ready now pinky eyes?
 
I really enjoy daisy birthing classes - my teacher does a loyalty bonus if you're doing two or more courses, so I pay £45 for 6 lessons. Each lesson is at least 90 minutes so I think it's worth it, i treat it as my 'me time' once a week. What I like is that whilst it supports a natural approach to labour, there's no pressure to have a drug free labour and no failure attached if you don't get a perfect labour (I didn't do NCT classes but I've heard that the pressure/failure thing can be an issue from friends who took those classes).
I'm more or less ready now,haven't bought a big changing mat yet, but I have the small one in my changing bag which will do if baby comes early. Oh and I haven't put any snacks in my hospital bag.
My midwife appointment was fine today, but I can't get an appointment for next week because she's already booked solid. Guess that's the fifty shades effect!
Mummydonz, the opk sticks are great to give you an idea of your cycle, I used the smiley face ones which always made me giggle - smiley face equals go have sex!
Xx
 
I think they were more expensive when I looked, it doesn't sound too bad.

I didn't do any classes, maybe I should have! I ended up on everything but the pethadine just made me sick, the epidural got ripped out and I decided I didn't like gas and air so ended up on nothing! However afterwards as I was being stitched they took my gas away as I then decided it was great! Maybe Sam will be nice and rob me some for my birthday :haha:

We got a fancy big change mat with this luxury cover that was machine washable and matched the nursery.....it annoyed me as the cover was irritating if it got messy so I took it off and just left with a plain white mat now.

Where's everyone gone? Has Marcus killed you all off with the last nappy?! Fish and spinach for lunch = fish smelling nappy, really not cool, might try feeding him citrus fresh to see if it has the same effect!!

Betty, hope the powders get to you soon, been reading a few people seem to rave over those amber teething necklaces?
 
Anna I got them the day after you sent them! Was going to message you and totally forgot, you must think I'm so rude!! Thank you very much for them :)

Daisy has an amber necklace :) she seems better with it on than without it!

I did the nhs parent craft and can honestly say I'm glad I did I didn't learn a lot but I did learn something! I should add I did them when I was birthing partner to my sister too so not my first time :)

I can't believe how quiet it is soooo many of us missing!

Anna maybe us prattling on has scared then away :haha:

Pinky the classes you've done sound lovely! As per usual don't think we have any near me :wacko:

X x x
 
We did the nhs ones too, I thought they were really good, giving a fair coverage to all types of birth and pain relief, breast and formula feeding etc. I also felt really smart as I knew a lot of the stuff already!
Xx
 
We did do the NHS one but ours wasn't great :nope:

We took the nursery application form to nursery today and ordered his uniform. I got 1-2 yrs as he will be 9 months when he starts. I don't want him t go but I think he will love it, we got there and he got all excited and giddy so ended up getting down to play! Hoping to just work 2 days so not too bad.xxx
 
Our nhs ones were fab on the labour, birth and pain relief parts but I though very bias towards breast feeding which was great for me but prob not all the women there would have bf :shrug:

Anna I can't believe how fast it's going! It's nuts huh?!? You must get a pic of his uniform I bet it is super cute! We got Daisy a team hoody from oh work it's also 1-2 yrs its so cute!! Matches mine :)

X x x
 
Awww can't wait to see that Betty :hugs:. I sure will get a picture, hopefully I pick his uniform up before he starts! He really was having fun so I'm sure it will be nice for him. I may end up leaving work once my required term is up,3 months, will wait and see. Thing is I would still love him to have at least a day at nursery, they had everything there and since we last went they now have a HUGE indoor sandpit....think he will be in there lots.

Betty, when I had to go from bf to ff there was no help or support I had to send hubby to mothercare and ask!

Pinky are you bf? Hope honey is ok not seen her on fb in a while either x
 
I will take pics when she fit in it, will be a while away yet lol!

We are gonna have fun in the snow today :)

Just hoping my hubby makes it home ok!! X x x
 
My hubby is on call so just me and the grouchy one! He loved the snow though, took him to baby yoga only just got home, can't get car on drive!

Xxx
 
I'm planning on breast feeding - already had one on my boobs leak a couple of drops of colostrum on two occasions so I'm taking that as a good sign!
My hubby has come home from work early (joys of being your own boss) cos he was worried about the snow. Normally I love snow but being so extra clumsy at the moment I'm scared I'll fall and hurt baby. I wouldn't mind too much, but my dad in hospital at the moment and whilst I want to go visit him, he made me promise to stay home if the weather was bad. At least if baby comes I'll be in the same hospital as my dad! Xx
 
Pinky bf is so rewarding once you are established! My only advise would be stick with it! There are times when you think your not producing enough and that baby will be attached forever! If ever you need advise honey is our resident pro :winkwink: but I will def try and help where I can as I'm sure the others will too :)

Hubby is on his way now, will be a loooong wait he has 100 miles to travel lets just hope the roads are kind!

X x x
 
I've heard the first fortnight is the hardest and then it gets easier. I'm so looking forward to the 'fourth trimester'! Sore nipples, bleeding, no sleep but baby cuddles to make it all worthwhile.
My hubby and doggy are now home so I'm having a cuddle on the sofa with my fur baby, I think he likes the feel of baby squirming away in my bump!
Xx
 
Our boy cat used to love my bump!

Deff stick with bf if you want to do it and enjoy it, it certainly is rewarding and much cheaper. We pay £10 a week on Aptamil! Saying that it was the right move for us at the time and he has been happy with ff....if you think the bf ff war is bad wait until you get to weaning....the traditional v blw scene is ridiculous.

It is bitter here, Marcus loved the snow but we are in now keeping dry! X
 
I would agree the first two weeks are the hardest and I think it's because your establishing supply and learning how to feed!

My gp said to me if you make it to 6 weeks your on a home run and she was spot on after 6 weeks its so easy and convenient :)

Totally agree with Anna tho you have to do what's best for you and baby, if you don't get on with bf then switch to ff, there is such a pressure to bf that I think women feel a failure if they ff but its not at all :)

Love that your fur baby likes your squirmy bump :)

X x x
 
Not long now pinky!
Im not gonna get on the bf/ff stuff because it annoys me lol. just do what you want with feeding and dont pressurise yourself the baby will be fed and grow and be loved regardless. Have baby skin to skin at birth and try feed straight away and they usually feed lovely =o)

Wonder how pink and her diabetes are now....

Had lots of snow here was almost sleeping at the hospital! Anyway im off again to do that thing that pays the bills
X
 
That's what I was trying to say samie babies grow and thrive regardless of where their milk comes from!

Hope work is ok for you tonight :) you are changing people's lives forever not just paying the bills :)
