April 2013 TTC girls, where we ALL get our babies!

Ducky, we went to a different baby group yesterday and it was more of a social thing really. Mums chatting over tea/ coffee and babies on the mats in the middle. It is 0-1 yrs but they were all about Ds's age or younger. So no one was fleeing round. The other group we went to a few times was a bit yummy mummy competitive and I can't be bothered with that.

I love the idea of your Ds sitting holding hands with his little friend. DS didn't do any of that but he was very interested in the other babies, especially when the one next to him had an Oleg grub and he thought it was his and started to cry.

Oo yummy! Sweet potato is a good one :)
Weetabix is so good for weaning as well! I hope he enjoys them ducky :)

My pelvis is rele painful tonight :( n it goes down my right leg. It's so uncomfortable and annoying!

Oh wow Ducky that's rele good! :) are u starting him on 3 meals straight away then? Did they say what he can't eat?

Aw bless Tori! I hope he latches on wel soon :) keep going!

Congratulations Tori! He's a beaut
Happy bday for yesterday Siarie!

Tori, he is lovely and looks very composed there. Am so glad he is here and you are both safe and well. He looks like a big lad but his weight isn't anything huge. My friend had a 10lb 8oz baby Oliver is a nice name too.

Hope you are both home soon!

Happy bday for u as well Siarie :) and glad ur all moved in! That was fast well done! :)

The sale is just an added bonus just for that evening Ducky. Is like a seminar rele I guess. U sit and listen to experts speaking and asking questions etc. there's midwives there u can ask questions to and stuff :) just helps u prepare for having a baby.

Oh congratulations Tori!! So glad he's here now! :) he's adorable! Glad ur feeling well and what a lovely name :)
Agree with Bears too, lovely glasses! I go and pick my new ones on Friday but no idea what to get lol!

Congrats Tori! Spending your birthday in labour, wow not something you'll forget. I spent mine unboxing boxes and eating cheesecake yesterday.

We are all unpacked here and moved, can't believe we managed to do it all in two days!

PS I do like your glasses

Congratulations tori, he's beautiful! Oliver was on my list but DP vetoed it! Hope you get home soon.

They were awful there Lill, I was panicking as DS wouldn't latch on and seemed starving and then I asked why there was blood in his nappy and they said "he's not feeding at all which is making him ill, u need to give him something very soon." So I panicked and said well I'll have to give him a bottle then because I can't do this he won't latch on, and she just said "oh good I'll go and fetch u a bottle" then that was it. :/ I'll deffo have a research of that support group. Thanks Lill :)

Hope everything's well Tori! I hope u have ur baby in ur arms as I speak! :)

I booked a space for a mothercare expectant parents event in June :) it looks rele good and u get big discounts in store that evening! :D good chance to get baby things but cheaper. And they have a child's first aid session and also someone who comes to talk about breastfeeding. I'm quite excited for it rele :) I'm hoping to get my graco Moses basket cheaper as they are £150 brand new. Oo I can't wait to have this baby lol!

Ducky, that's so cute about your DS's friend!!
I'm going to a babies group today. Last week was DS's first time and he was the only one crying I spent the hour changing and feeding him so didn't get to know anyone!!

Ducky, he was awake for feeding mainly but also was very excitable and chatty! He's awake for the second time tonight now but I've had two two-hour blocks of sleep so far so better than last night already
Yeah I'm giving up dairy it's hard because I loooove dairy but the last two evenings he's been better so either it's working already or it's a coincidence.
I think my milk supply is fine now
Cupcake that's really sad the midwives didn't help you bf. they should have even if DS was started on formula. It probably took so long because you'd had a section too. I had to spend a lot of time trying to express by hand and with a pump and trying to get DS to latch on in order to get my milk to come in and it took 6 days when it's usually about three days I think
Have you heard of la leche league? They're an international bf support group and you can probably find someone in your area to help you. I think they can visit you and you can call them too.
I was really lucky that at my hospital they're very committed to helping everyone bf and it's the same with the community mws so I had people seeing me every day and helping for the first week.

Aw that's good Ducky glad he's on the mend :)

Oh no Lulu! :( my worst nightmare that is! They are so easily broken tho, they need to me made of shatter proof glass lol.

I feel so huge tonight! Think my tummy is expanding again lol!

Ducky, DS is in bed. I took him to a baby group today and he has worn himself out rolling and shrieking and trying to get things, kicking his legs and smiling at other babies. He is in his room with the door shut, fast asleep. Long may it continue!

I have broken my new ipad! Screen needs replacing. Can't believe it. I have only had it a couple of weeks. Dh just said 'It's only a bit of glass. Stop getting worked up over a bit of glass'

Happy birthday Tori and I hope it is a happy birth day too! Soon be over!
