Thanks Erin! Lovin' that princess just like I love her momma!! To the moon and back, loves! xxx

Pyper is just so gorgeous Erin, you must be a very proud mumma!

Hope everyone is well, just found out my OH's sister is pregnant again, with her third due in september, she will have 3 under 5 yrs old. Finding it hard to be happy for her and then feel guilty for feeling that way! I really thought we would be preggers again by now, i know its not been that long compared to what some folks go through but i am starting to get down a bit now!

Mrs swaff - big congrats on little Harrison well done you!

What's everyone going to be up to this weekend?

 

[disneydarling]

Boozlebub, I know exactly how you feel about OH's sister, I felt the exact same about mine when she got pregnant with her 2nd baby in 2 years, still under the age of 20. It will be your turn soon!

We went for our 3D scan last night, and it did not go to plan! Little girly decided to have her face down and no amount of jumping and eating sugary foods made her want to move. Of course as soon as we got home she started to move around like crazy. Going for a re-scan tomorrow hoping she decides to co-operate, silly baby! Luckily she's growing well though (and definitely still a girl) so it was still a good scan!

Sorry about your scan, DD...hopefully she will behave herself more tomorrow!

Boozlebub, I know what you mean....my 16 yo cousin has just had a baby...everyone keeps saying how proud of her, and how happy they are for her...and I just can't be. It will be our turn soon though

Got wicked pains in left side...hoping its a sign for Oing? If I do it means the soy worked

Erin thanks for sharing those beautiful piccies of Pyper

Disney - hope bubs behaves today for the rescan! Naughty little thing

nlk - got my fx that the pains mean O for you!

How is everyone doing? This weekend I haven't got much planned other than a walk on Saturday. I'll be in town to collect some nursing bras and probably try and find a little pramsuit that doesn't cost loads to bring baby home from hospital - apparently we're getting all this Siberian weather blowing over to us dammit! I wish I had more planned though to take my mind off it being due date. I'll probably be in a right sulk all day

 

[flapjack10]

You might not have anything planned, Joo, but Harriet might !

[joo]

Eeek! Stop teasing me!!! Intense tummy aches all day and night yesterday, and today NOTHING! So she can bloody well wait until I've collected my nursing bras tomorrow so I don't have to get my boobies out at the hospital. Also I want to DTD with OH one last time before she's here. And I also want a takeaway.

 

[flapjack10]

Hehehehe! That's right you lay down the law - don't give her an inch!

[xopiinkiieox]

[disneydarling]

Haven't forgotten about you guys... no time/no sleep. 1st week is HARD! It's also so amazing & special. I'm really gutted because we hardly got any photos of Harriet's first week & they change so much in such a small space of time :'( My recovery has really got in the way of things so at the time photos aren't at the forefront of my mind. Breastfeeding is wonderful, but a bit hit & miss - when it doesb't go right& Harriet suddenly struggles to latch again feeding becomes the most stressful thing of all (for all of us) & i really feel like chucking it all in & like a massive failure. But when it's right (which is most of the time but the tough times always seem to stick out the most hey!) it's perfect & for me there's not much that can beat the feeling of feeding her & having that mummy & daughter time. It is true that breastfeeding does get much easier & I'm confident any troubkes we have will be ironed out by the 3rd week. Harriet is a night time feeder & poo-er so we don't sleep much at all at night yet somehow doesn't seem time during the day for a nap! We're getting there though. And now I'm babbling so I hppe you're all well & I'll keep checking even if i'm not posting xxxx

 

[mrsswaffer]

joo! Sounds like you're doing great! The first week is bloody hard!

I certainly had my fair share of teething problems with breastfeeding. Not all babies are born knowing what to do! We're totally there now though, and are using nipple shields which I am gradually weaning Harrison off of now.

 

[flapjack10]

Happy Mother's Day to all you lovely Mums, Mums-to-be and Mums-you-will-be!

Xxx

 

[joo]

Thanks Mrsswaffer! I was given nipple shields my second day in hospital as both Harriet and I couldn't get to grips with latching on and I had sore red blisters! Unfortunately we still couldn't get the latch right with them so feeds were taking double the time due to poor flow (although I carried on using them for a couple of days at home so my nipples didn't fall off and die & I had the reassurance that at least she was getting some colostrum). I had one bad night at home where we managed to get her on the nipple on my right boob but she refused the left unless she could have the shield. Luckily when my milk came in she forgot all about the shield. Hope the weaning is going well with Harrison and glad breastfeeding is going good for you both. xxx
