Sorry that I haven't got time to read everyone's posts. Hope you are all well.

MJIM Never mind hun, just a thought. Obviously our DS was bottle fed, i was only 20 and scared to death !! I would dearly love to get my BFP and breast feed, and do all the things i didnt with Michael, not that id change a moment, he will always be my special first born iykwim
It must be frustrating that Naomi is'nt sleeping, it can make it hard even though she is worth it xx

Oh Hi Willmouse.....Nice to hear your popping out your bra, i would love to do that ....Hope your well hun xx

Good afternoon all

Work was tiring as usual, half staffed at weekends, so lots of extra calls to do !!

MJIM What a shame you had a poor night, have you tried a teaspoon of honey in her bottle before bed, it worked a treat when DS was a babe, used to knock him out 8 hours !!

CE Hope you have a nice few days away hun, and just chill

HC Whats with the test ?? And have you done it ??

Belgian Hope today went well, fingers crossed for you xx

Chinese night tonight, no cooking for me

Hi all

DS2 has been horrendous with chicken pox but seems a bit better today.

Dawni - glad you are feeling better.

Bellie - congratulations on the birth of Orin - sounds stressful but at least he is behaving himself now

HC - glad its not just me who had to find a maternity bra immdiately! I am semi-tempted to get DH to lug the maternity clothes box down from the loft in case I suddenly need jeans which don't cut in the middle (I knew I should have lost that post-christmas weight!).

I wished I had waited and done that test next week. I feel Ok and don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing! Bedsides the boobs and lack of AF I have no other symptoms.

I will re-do stats just so I can go in the bonked section

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

We are going to the cinema - might not be going there for a while after this lol! and then cooking a romantic meal in tonight! (Not that I can get dressed up - I am starting to feel absolutely huge and nothing fits me! I might post a pic if I can think on!)

HC - is this the test that tells you how many weeks pg you are? Why not do it now? Unless I'm missing something?

BB - good luck for today xx

CE xx

PS. We are going away to SIL near Lincoln tomorrow til Tuesday so don't panic about me! I will endeavour not to go into labour whilst we are there, but will be taking my notes just in case!

Bellie- so glad to hear from you and glad you are now over the rocky start. How glad are you that Orin came out of the sunroof rather than the traditional point of exit?!!

HC- no idea I'm afriad- OPK a waste of time for me....

Oh Belgian Sorry to hear your spotting, you do hear people get pregnant cause the pressure has been taken away, mind you alot get pregnant after having a child on IVF because its kick started everything !!!

CE Thanks hun, it certainly does help being able just to vent on here, ive not really had anyone to blurt every little feeling out to knowing they will understand, i must come across as a bit of a nutter with alot of baggage !!

DS has gone to a mates for a few drinks, thank god he isnt coming home tonight after last weeks decorating IYKWIM

yay bellie, so great to hear your news. Congratulations!

Yeah! Well done Bellie - I have to confess I was worried about you and baby! Orin sounds a delight,sorry you had a scary start with him though. 10lbs 6 is massive isn't it! No wonder labour wasn't starting - that would have been hard work!

BB - sorry AF arrived - she really is an evil witch isn't she? Good luck with FSH test tomorrow.

dawni - glad you are feeling a little more upbeat, it is so sad to read your posts sometimes - I wish there was something I could do/say to help. I guess you just need to get it all out on here and that is enough!

Glad HC and willmouse are still getting symptoms - morning sickness is vile - I remember like it was yesterday! However, I would love to be bursting out of my bra - I am still only a tiny weeny bit bigger than UI was before I was pg! Hoping that when milk comes in after the baby is born they will go huge!

MJIM - glad N has gained more weight! She will be 13lbs before you know it!

I have finally broken up for half term. Only 1 more week to do after that! I had a really busy week though as I had a student teacher shadowing me - fun but you don't get a break! And also had crazy day yesterday due to snow starting at lunchtime and trying to close school and get all kids home safely. Bet my blood pressure has rocketed!

Congratulations Bellie - and welcome to the lovely Orin

Bellie huge congratulations to you and what a lovely name and he made my Sam look positively tiny in comparison!! Glad everything is ok now and Orin sounds like an angel!

HC obviously this thread is just 'boys galore' so you may get the blue one you want

MJIM great news about Naomi - obviously whatever you are doing is working!

HURRAY....Great to hear from you Bellie, and a huge hello to baby Orin, what a start in life pleased all is well now and DD adores him too xxxx

Hello all,

so sorry that you have got worried about me - a mixture of overwhelmed and some drama I'm afraid!!

Firstly - for those that were guessing a boy - you were right!! Orin James arrived screaming very loudly at 14.48 last Thurs 5th Feb weighing 10lbs 6 oz

We had a bit of a rough ride though. Firstly it took over an hour for the anethetist to get the spinal in as I was so huge I couldn't arch my spine enough and they hit my spine bone about 5 times before they finally managed it. Orin was born in meconium due to the stress (they think).

In the recovery room it started to go slightly wrong however - Orin was struggling to regulate his blood glucose levels, but they were not too concerned as apparently this is quiet common in larger babies. Got moved to ward and dh went home, later that night Orin was really struggling with breathing too and started to go hyper glycemic.

He was moved to the neonatal unit later that night and put on a feeding tube and 2 hourly feeds and 2 hourly gluscose monitoring. It took 4 days for him to stablise and we all eventually got home on Tues.

Since then he has been the perfect boy - eating and sleeping like a dream and generally being a little cutie! DD adores him and can't wait to get home from school to see him.

Huge congrats to willmouse, and glad to hear the symptoms are returning HC.

Sorry you are having such a tough time at the moment dawni.

Will try and post soon xx
