The Pact Cont - April 2021

@MrsB2019x anhh how gorgeous is she! I wish I’d gotten that romper! I got the top and bottoms in the end.

we went sunflower picking yesterday.

Hi everyone! Sorry for my silence on here, since going back to work everything has become so hectic 😳

Massive congratulations @whambam89! Is he Jesse now? 🥰 so, so pleased for you all.

Happy birthday to Frankie for May @Sansa87 🙈 Hope you’re doing well.

@SS123456 How is Jessie? Can’t believe our babies are approaching one!

Ella will be one in just over a week and I’m not ready 😩 Absolutely loving this age, she’s just a ray of sunshine.

@SS123456 it was never even on the list for us but he just looks nothing like any of the few names we'd kind of narrowed down, all I can see is a Jesse when I look at him!
First night at home was really good, although probably a fluke 🙈

@Sansa87 thank you! Hope you're doing ok x

congrats @whambam89 welcome to the 9lbs 9oz group!!

@SS123456 thank you! I feel amazing in comparison to how I was after having my little girl, the birth ended up being VERY quick though after my waters started leaking on Saturday morning and having on / off contractions since then I was put on the hormone drip to try and speed things up due to risk of infection and went from 5cm - 10cm within the hour, by the time I'd asked for an epidural it was too late so I had to manage on just gas and air and hadn't slept for over 24 hours which just escalated everything for me x 1000 because I was already so so exhausted. Worth every bit of pain and all the months of trying though! I am 100% done having babies now 😂

I can't believe Jessie is 10 months already! Jesse is actually on our short list for baby boys name so we might have 2 The Pact Jessie / Jesse's (it's currently my fave but OH is taking some persuading and DD has started calling him Jesse already so I think I'll probably win that battle 😂)

@SS123456 little one arrived yesterday morning 4 days over, weighing a very healthy 9lb 9! He's an absolute chunk with a very besotted big sister, no name yet.

How's everyone else doing??

@Sansa87 not too bad, luckily we're north so it's not been as bad as down south and the last couple of days have been quite cool. 38+3 now though so hoping we don't have much longer to wait! How are you doing?

@whambam89 how are you coping with the heat?

Frankie turned one yesterday 🥺 I can’t believe I have a toddler. When I had the mmc I didn’t think this would ever happen for us.

@Rotagilla congratulations! Love his name too, we're really struggling with boys names 🙈

@Sansa87 Frankie is looking so grown up! Being back at work will get easier and is definitely worse for you than it is for her 🥰

@MrsB2019x I can't believe Ella is 9 months already! I'm not too bad, I've got SPD so not very comfortable and it's a lot more exhausting with a 4 year old to look after but I can't complain. Hopefully only 8 weeks to go 🤞 good luck for Tuesday!

@SS123456 Jessie is gorgeous too, they're all getting so big!

@LeopardLover

@Rotagilla Oh sooo lovely to hear from you!! Gosh, Rocco is an absolute cutie (& great name choice - this is on our list of boys names 😉). ❤️

@Sansa87 Frankie is getting more beautiful by the day! Sorry to hear you've been struggling with work, I'm sure that's perfectly natural. I start work in 2 weeks so I bet I'll feel the same!

@MrsB2019x Good luck for Tuesday! I bet Ella will love it and it'll be great for her development. She's so sweet and has such a beautiful smile! I definitely think this separation lark is much harder on us than the babes haha.

@SS123456 Oh Jessie 😍Why are chunky babies so darn cute!? We also shot up in percentiles as time went on haha. Although I think walking has resulted in weight loss. SOB. I do not envy you with all those stairs hahaha. Walking up and down never ends! Even with it shut he just stands on the step, shakes it and shouts until we give in. Oh wow - you are such a superhero working so soon! I'm assuming you were working from home? Gosh, the parenting guilt never ends does it!

I don’t know why it posted the picture sideways 🙄

Congratulations @Rotagilla he is absolutely beautiful!

@Sansa87 Wow Frankie is suddenly looking so grown up 🥺 Sorry to hear you’re struggling with going back to work. I’m going back on Tuesday and absolutely dreading it 💔 a Mum at nursery today assured me that as the weeks go on, it does get easier. Finding it hard to believe that atm though!

@whambam89 How are you doing? Hope you’re not too uncomfortable!

Ella will be 9 months old on Monday, still not crawling but getting very close! She had her first nursery settling in session for 2 hours today and I sobbed all the way home 😩😂 she did okay, got a bit upset after I left but managed to sleep for a bit and do some messy play. Pretty sure she will cope better than I will!

Congrats @Rotagilla hes beautiful 🥺🥺🥺

Frankie is going to be one in 12 days. I started work again this week which has been really hard emotionally, & physically. I miss her so much and didn’t feel ready to go back, but she has so much fun at nursery and her nanny’s. Thankfully I’ve dropped down to 31 hours from 42 so at least I get more time with her.

how is everyone doing?
