April TTC girls! Where there's a new baby! Tons of BFP's! And lots more to come!

I know it's so cold!

Ds had a dummy and it is ace at settling him, it has come in handy as he's been ill, it keeps him calm for a bit but he will only have nuk dummies. I have tried every other dummy I could find but he only wants nuk ones!

Mil went mad when I said he would have a dummy, so I make sure he has it in his mouth when we see her

Oh God I haven't even contemplated AF coming back yet. I haven't had any more bleeding though so I do think that has stopped.

We have had snow this afternoon but it isn't lying. It is very cold. I am contemplating leaving the heating on all night. DS is having his tummy time on his mat with DH playing with him.

Ducky, does your DS have a dummy? I am wondering how you know if they need one. Sometimes DS is a bit whingey when he is in his moses basket and I think it might settle him.

Just thought it's like the duggars in here with jayden, Joseph and Jesse

I stopped for a few days the other week (tmi warning!) then I had like a pink heavy discharge, then it stopped the other day, now it's like stringy bright red stuff

loving the boys' names - Joseph and Jesse are both lovely

I didn't get af for about 10 wks after mine were born - I bled for about 5 stopped for a couple days then started again

Think AF is going to make an appearance soon

Typical DH after more than 2 pints. He got into bed, cuddled up and fell asleep. He just can not drink. So there was no need to disappoint him.
TBH I think he would be as worried as me about DTD - he was so shocked by the birth.

No snow here. Bit of blue sky and it was raining but it has stopped. DH is taking his old lady friend Elizabeth shopping later and then bringing her to meet DS and stay for tea.

I need some fresh air so I am about to go for a walk and take DS. Have a nice day everyone.

How did he sleep in the end cupcake? Ds has been awake since 5! So I managed about 3 hours last night

Lulu you are brave! I'm still of the opinion I'm never DTD ever again

It is scary I worry now that I'm never going to trust the gps with ds again until he can talk properly and tell me how he's feeling

He's just sitting in his bouncy seat, he's started to reach out for his toys on the bar

Joseph Guy. We call him Joseph, Joe, Joey, Jo-Jo and JoeyJoJo. Ridiculous really. He won't know who he is. He is fast asleep now. I am in bed and DH is in the bathroom. He has had 3 pints which means he is feeling amorous and has that rather sexy look he gets when there is going to be kissing. There might be kissing and a bit of something but not DTD definitely not.

Jesse is a lovely name Ducky. I really like it. I must say your experience over the last couple of weeks has made me really worried about the quality of some of the people you've seen. It isn't very reassuring is it?

DS hasn't had his supper yet. He is lying on his tummy on the baby mat. I am encouraging him to lift his head up. He tries but it is a bit early. He is starting to get frustrated so I am about to do the bottle. They just become your whole world don't they? I love watching him and he is so snuggly.

Oh and we called him Jesse, like of breaking bad :,)

Did he go to bed ok cupcake? I bet it was exciting for him!

The mouth ulcer wasn't an ulcer at all in the end apparently! Which made me angry as they prescribed painkillers for him! The consultant said it was a spot which is just one of the reactions he was having to the milk i was made to feel like an idiot, especially by the gp practice, one time when I called up after they wrongly diagnosed him the lady went 'oh let me guess, it's you again' then I saw the same lady when I went in and looked very proud of myself when I handed her the letter from the hospital diagnosing cmpi she's been lovely ever since when I have been in to get his prescriptions and things!

Thanks Ducky. I am just going to keep on with what I am doing. He seems very happy with it and has been fine and I enjoy it too. People do seem to get lots of different advice from midwives and Hvs over different things.

Isn't it amazing how much difference being on this food has made so quickly to your DS? I think it shows how good a mum's instincts are. You knew something was not right, whatever they said. Has his mouth ulcer healed up now? What name did you give him in the end?

Oh no cupcake! Can he easily get in and out now?

Lulu my midwife said it wAs good excercise and I've never been told not to take ds out. Infact I was told it's very rare for them to get a cold at this stage. As long as he is wrapped up I'm sure he's fine. When I take ds out I have him in his vest, socks, sleep suit, snow suit, hat, mitts and a blanket. He's lovely and toasty

I will go and get him a card tomorrow I have a follow up appt with him in 3 months to be referred to the dietitian so don't know whether to wait until then to give it him or if I can post it.

Aww Cupcake! He is very i quisitive and that is good. He is learning how much he can do.

I think the best time to have another one is when the first one leaves home At your age, you could do that but I will be in my late 50s probably so we might just stick to one, although DH would like lots but that is definitely NOT happening.

I have been takng DS out for a walk most days, as long as the weather has been OK. We usually go to the village or for a walk along the sea front or to the lighthouse. He is well wrapped up and we don't usually stop to chat to anyone- everyone is at work!

One of my friends rang and we were chatting and she said her HV told hernot to take her DD out for walks until she was about 6 weeks because their immune system is not very good at first and they get colds/viruses easily and their temperature regulation is not good and they can get too cold.

I am really surprised. No one has said this to me. HV came this week and jnever commented and I told her we were going out. All she said was it was good exercise for me.

I don't want to stop but don't want to put DS at risk. What does anyone think?
