Beautiful pic of DS Lill and I'm so getting some of those pants for after this baby!!

Lulu I would love to smack David Cameron too!!!

I've been feeling ill all day with this migraine, it's turned into a dull headache now and I am desperate to go to bed but DS is still awake and full of beans and won't sleep. :(
He knows when to pic his days lol!

Ducky23 · 30/04/2015 20:32

Oh no lulu! How is his sleeping at night now? Have you gone to any of the baby groups?

I could be tempted by those pants. I am still flabby even though I have lost a lot of weight.

DH could not care a jot about it. He tells me he loves every inch of me but I am bothered. Mind you he is no skinny minny. He's tall and big built but not fat. He has got a bit of a belly mind but it's not flabby. He's got lovely legs and chest and bum. Grin Could lose a stone. But I like him as he is. I find small slim men really unattractive. He isn't self-conscious at all about his body.

Ds has not slept at all since he woke up this morning. Not for a minute and he is fighting off falling asleep at the minute. DH has taken him out for a walk to see if he can push him to sleep. I am lying on the settee watching David Cameron and wanting to smack him one. Grr!

I'm only a size 10/12 on top but couldn't fit into the medium top yet so got a large. I think I'll be able to get into the medium when my tum and boobs have gone down a bit but because it's so tight it's difficult to get it over your head. Well worth the struggle though Grin
Can't remember what size pants I got though, I'll check in a bit and let you know Smile

We just took DD to lessons in the council pool - it was £1.20 a lesson! Quite often fully booked though.

DS wakes up about 1, 3 and 5 at the moment - the longest unbroken sleep seems to be from
~9 to ~1am so it's early nights for me. DD didn't sleep through till she was 2!

also googling magic pants

Ducky23 · 30/04/2015 12:58

How high do they come up lil? How much!? I need to know about these magic pants!

Lil I'm sending DH on the swimming lesson mission. But I doubt we will do it until she's had her jabs.

DD was 8lb 4oz when born and she seemed big, she was straight into up to 1 month (9lbs) clothes. Very little of the newborn stuff fit unless it was up to 9lbs too.

lillamyy1 · 30/04/2015 12:35

DS's rash has nearly cleared up now. And he slept for 5 hours straight last night!!!
Here he is looking concerned about something Grin
I met up with my friend whose baby was born the day after DS and the difference was incredible! Her DS was 7lb something so not small but next to DS he looked tiny Blush

I'd like to take DS swimming but I think the only bAby swimming class near here is puddleducks and it's just too expensive! I'll have to wait until 6 weeks since my section too.
I got some brilliant tummy control pants from jojo maman bebe - they're incredible! I wore a really tight top yesterday and you'd never have guessed I'd just had a baby Grin

Siarie · 30/04/2015 08:01

Lying here with DD on my chest, need to get up soon as the cleaner is coming this morning.

Starting to get used to the broken sleep now. cupcake I had a lot of migraines during pregnancy, they really sucked. I'd say lie in a dark room but not really practical with your DS to look after.

Last night DD wanted feeding at midnight, 3am, 4:30am, 6am I'm looking forward to when she sleeps through a bit longer!

DH was sharing the feeds but you both wake up when they cry.

Ducky23 · 30/04/2015 07:48

I have my steak well done anyway cupcake Grin

It's just worrying me as the amount of threads on here that talk about babies his age going 7-7.

I think il add some puréed stuff in for dinner too, see if that helps. But I didn't really want to do that yet without talking to the dietitian. We should of had his appt by now but they lost his referral Hmm whenever anyone asks me how much he eats everyone sounds shocked Shock

Cupcake92 · 30/04/2015 07:29

I miss pink steak Ducky so much! Not the same when u have to have it wel done Grin

DS was like that Ducky :/ he still is some nights. But if he wakes in the night it's usually because he's had a nightmare and needs a cuddle. But he went from sleeping all through the night to waking up 1-2 times a night for no reason. Was so annoying. Ur DS will go back to sleeping through again soon :)

I'm so ill today. I went to bed with a headache and I've woken up with a migraine. Every time I move my head it hurts and I just want to go back to bed and close my eyes under the duvet! But being a parent doesn't allow u to be ill Grin tho DS is being very good atm and sitting quietly.

Ducky23 · 30/04/2015 06:36

Omg I really want a steak now too cupcake!!! At 6.30am!

I am so tired Confused I don't know why but ds keeps waking at 5am since this growth spurt. I have been going to bed later as I have been trying to get in an extra feed before bed but it doesn't seem to work. I went to bed at 11.30 last night, up at 2 to feed him then up again at 5. He's not hungry when he wakes up, I think he's just bored.

Omg I really want a steak. A nice thick steak that's lovey and pink with a Diane sauce mmmmm. Oooo or garlic mushrooms on top!
:( pregnancy cravings u can't have are awful!! And being so hungry all the time is awful too haha Grin

Aww swimming is good exercise, babies seem to love it don't they. I look awful in a swimming costume, I still have a pouch from my csection lol!! Grin

Bearsinmotion · 29/04/2015 22:18

Tori we have a bednest, it's great. Easy to set up, and lovely having them so close.

I love swimming. Not been since I went with DD at 38 weeks pg, so looking forward to taking DS! Hope he is a water baby like DD!

Ducky23 · 29/04/2015 22:04

I'm keeping ds in with me as long as I can get away with!

He's almost 21 weeks now Shock can't believe it!

Id probably be too self conscious in a swimsuit now too. Mil has a swimming pool but I wouldn't go there when she's there!

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 29/04/2015 21:07

I should go swimming and take DS. I just look a sight in a swimming costume and I am so self conscious. My self confidence about my body is crap.
Tori, we are almost at the point of DS moving into his nursery. I can't bear the thought of him being by himself. It is all set up and it looks lovely. It is only about 6ft from our bedroom but I love waking up in the night and watching him sleep.

Lulu i had some chopped up banana with mine, mmmmm DS loved it too :)

Tori how exciting getting everything ready for baby! :) I can't wait to get to that stage.

Ducky that's like where I am for swimming, the nearest and most decent place is a posh place and costs £10 each!!! Shock it's ridiculous when DS is only in the water for an hour.

Lill it tasted amazing lol! And thank u :) will have to start taking everyone's bets on what it could be Grin

lillamyy1 · 29/04/2015 19:43

Ooh Cupcake that looks amazing! Also forgot to say before, very exciting about your gender scan!!

Ducky23 · 29/04/2015 19:43

lil I agree with cupcake, as long as your off meds it should be fine Smile although be careful, my first glass of wine after ds I went a bit woooooo in the head! But I hadn't drank in a long time as i was pg with dd before!

Cupcake that sounds yummy!!!

Tori I would love to go swimming but there's no where really round here unless I went to one of the fancy places that cost a bomb Confused glad your feeling more comfortable and getting ready for baby Grin

That looks like just what I could eat right now Cupcake, with a dollop of cream and some strawberries.

We are having Apple Crumble and cream.
