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

Oh dear Cupcake, I hope it's not the onset of the Terrible Twos. My 2yr old nephew is going through those at the moment
Aww lovely kicky DS2! It's not quite so fun when it hurts though. I remember DS punching me in the bladder and kicking me in the ribs and stomach

Oh dear Lill! U were up a few times! It's good DS slept a while tho ! Hopefully it'll start happening regularly and he'll go longer between feeds :) and DS went to bed finally at 10:30!!! And he usually Eats something and I've never seen him turn down a biscuit I'm hoping he isn't coming down with something. Because his behaviour was awful yesterday as well and he's never that bad.

I'm awake early because DS2 is kicking me so hard hitting something that's making me have belly ache! I can't complain tho! At least he's kicking away like he should be

And we're awake again! DS's spider sense must have been tingling because when I opened my eyes there was a spider on the wall just above my head I had to get DP to rescue us from it
Tori I forgot to say how lovely those hand and footprints are! I did a similar thing for DP.

Hmm... I put him bank to bed after last message and he's just woken up again for another feed I hope he hasnt just moved his feeding times closer together! I can't keep my eyes focused now I'm so tired xxx

And Bears I hope your DS manages a poo soon! Are you weaning him now? I lose track!
Tori, I live Red Hot Buffet, especially the dessert area!! My tummy's rumbling now at the thought

Ok no Cupcake, I've just been through and read the thread since I was last on, I hope your DS went to bed in the end! How strange that he didn't eat, not even the biscuits. Had he done that before? I hope you managed to get to bed and that you can have a restful day tomorrow.

Well DS had his last feed at around 8:30pm and has only just woken up for another! He's missed out two of his usual nighttime feeds! I really hope this is a sign of things to come - fingers crossed!

I'm exhausted. Can't keep my eyes open. DS fell asleep at 4am then up for good at 7:30am. He's had no nap today but that's his own choice as he's been very very difficult. I've struggled to get him to eat today he refused lunch ate about 3 mouthfuls of rice and hasn't had tea yet again as point blank refused it. I've handed him toast and biscuits just cuz I want him to eat but he hasn't eaten them! :( he's still awake now! I'm sat with him as he's screaming every time I leave him. I don't know what's up :( I keep dropping off and when I do he constantly taps me on the arm to wake me up lol. He's with his dad from 9'till 1 tomorrow so maybe I could catch up then on sleep. I'm just so tired it's awful. At least I'm getting practise for DS2

That's lovely Tori :). We went to the local ceramics cafe and got a photo frame. DS had his foot prints put on it and DD painted some butterflies on it. Then the lady who runs the shop wrote a message on it (because I have atrocious handwriting at the best of times!). Then I forgot to bring it with me so he won't get it until we get home tomorrow evening .

Poor DS is constipated :(. He hasn't done a poo since last Friday and nothing seems to help. It didn't bother him at first but now he is quite upset whenever he is awake but not feeding :(

Father's Day tomorrow! DH is getting a framed photo of him and DS, we are going out for his favourite breakfast and he is getting a new shirt he likes.
DS has made a card with his hand prints on it. We did it yesterday and he cried

Sounds lovely lulu

Tori, have you tried that monkey farts? Seriously ds had the worst nappy rash and stuff that was amazing! It hasn't got rid of it but there's definitely improvement!

Poor ds cupcake! Did he go back to sleep ok?

I picked ds up from dm's, he had a great time! But when I walked in he started crying

They are cute Cupcake. They are in the bushes round the pond today because it is cold and wet here.

DH is out on his bike with his friend. DS is snoozing - unusual for him to have a morning sleep but he did not sleep well last night. I am taking him into Morpeth with me later to have a wander- some nice shops there. We will have to be wrapped up.

What are you up to? Hope your DS slept after his night,are and you got some rest.

Aw I bet it's cute seeing all the ducks Lulu! DS loves ducks! He tries to quack but he doesn't do it right

Ducky I'm deffo going to complain! It's been too long a wait for an appt it's silly. I'm not going to be pg forever! (I hope!)

Tori I've heard of that place and a lot of people I know have been there and said its rele good. I've never been but would love to go! I imagine it's a bit like Cosmo that we have in Derby. All u can eat and food from different countries etc.

DS has woke up. He had a nightmare. I woke up to him shouting very loudly! Just sitting in his bed going "ahh! Ahh! Ahh!" Bless him. And because he never ate his dinner his belly was rumbling! So I've given him a biscuit and a drink to help. Hoping he falls back to sleep soon! Luckily for me I went to sleep at 9 so I've had a bit of sleep

Have you been before Tori? It should be beautiful in October - the Cheviots will be all autumny colours and it will be lovely up around Allendale and Alston and the moors around there. Blanchland will be beautiful too- it is a tiny village built by monks and has a great tea room and is stunning. What area are you staying in?

We don't live anywhere posh Ducky. It is just a 1930s semi in a village. We are lucky that it is a conservation area and a wildlife corridor so the character and open spaces are protected. Northumberland is big and has a small population in comparison to other counties so it is quite rural and untouched in most places with lovely coastline. And there are never crowds of tourists.

The disadvantages are it is colder than the south of England- definitely- and North of Newcastle, you have to reach Edinburgh before you find another city- about 120 miles away in another country. Northumberland does not have a city- just lots of country market towns.

Cupcake I think you should put in a complaint, it's awful how long they have left you with such pain. It might also encourage them to get a shift on with your appt. it's been ages now!

Lulu where you live sounds lovely! I would love to live somewhere like that.

Ds is with dm for the night, feels so strange!

DS is thrilled because the ducks from our park at the end of the street are having an amble along the street most days- a group of 6 adults. They were snoozing in the sun on our front lawn this morning when we went out. Soon shifted when he shrieked at them. Waddled off next door looking cross and quacking.

We went into the village this morning shopping and then for a walk this afternoon. It has gone really cold tonight and looks like rain.

He is ready for bed, having his last bottle and DH is reading to him.

Then DH and I are having a pizza and a small bottle of cider each. Life is wild up here!

Sorry to hear DS is poorly Ducky. Gald to hear your DS is asleep Cupcake - thatpicture of him sleeping is really funny. I don't know how you are managing all the feeding Lill- it must be exhausting.

I used the, taking DS to the park, idea today and oh my god! He's asleep!!!!!!! :D
It's 7:15pm and he's fast off!! So happy!
It's been a long day but it's worth it for him to go to bed at such a decent time! :)
He didn't eat any of his tea tho lol!

Tori and Lill I'm good anywhere as long as I can park without hassle as I don't know Nottingham very well at all

And Lill how annoying about the loud neighbours! That would rele do my head in!!

Oh no Ducky that's awful about ur DS being ill again!! :( poor thing! It's scary tho how ur DS sounds just like mine. All the illnesses he could get and always in and out of hospital. But they never seem to help and just send u home!
Also my DS has only 1 nap a day. It used to be at about 10:30am and he's slowly made it later and most of the time falls asleep at 2/3pm! As he's not tired at all until then. And yes I'm going to have to find a distraction for him, hopefully it will work!

I'm so sore today. Still not had my appt through. And I think I'm going to end up complaining because I rele don't think it's fair they have left me this long. I don't think I'd have been in this much pain if I'd had my physio quicker!

Yeah, there are some nice places around there

Yes they said it was a 'viral rash' lil he's now got an awful awful cough but he's still smiling bless him. I just feel so fed up on his behalf, he is constantly catching these things even when we hadn't been round anyone who is ill!

Oh no! Poor little DS Ducky! They didn't think it was too serious with the rash then? Did they send you home after seeing him? I hope he gets better very soon.
I don't understand how babies pick up bugs and viruses - it's not like they touch things that are contaminated or use public loos etc
