Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

Meansbeans - wow 3 times a day, I am impressed with so many children around!!!! However my problem this month is how to keep away from dh during the fertile time!!!

Rainbow, I do feel xmas looming once sept hits. A month off sounds like a great idea ~(((((((hugs)))))))).

Babyblue, how is the little one now? He must be getting big now and filling out those newborn wrinkles.

Sweetkitty, I get exactly what you mean, some days I am desperate to have another little baby kicking and other days I think 'oh dear god, what on earth am I doing'!!!!

Kat have a wonderful holiday.

All is well here, been at it like rabbits, 3 times a day somedays. Still don't think it will make a difference because of the breastfeeding but a suprise would be nice....and if all else fails my sex life is good lol.

Hi Just popping my head in here, but am taking a month off of ttc, my body has had enough of being pg then not for so long.

Babyblue - hope that the soy formula has helped?

SK - hope that you get your bfp, but that you don;t panic!

kat - have a great holiday

meanbeans - lol at xmas songs in august!

New thread

Am on 2ww but don't feel very hopeful although am now starting to panic if I go get a BFP, there's no going back then is there? Some days I am like bring it on, other days I think I must be insane, 3 is really hard as it is. I won't feel pregnant until I feel the baby kick as unfortunately I know a BFP doesn't always mean a baby. What am I like?

babyblue - glad LO is doing well

Kat - nice about the holidays. I am hoping that DH and I can sneak away to Las Vegas for a few days with his sister and her family. It all depends if I can convince my mom to come and stay with all 4 kids! LOL... the more you have the harder it is to pawn them off!!

So my little guy was circumsized today, so he is not very happy. Hopefully the Tylenol will help him get some sleep tonight, or we are in for it! We did take him to the BF clinic today and they weighed him. The little beast is now 9lbs 7oz, which is a gain of over 2lbs in just 3 weeks! No wonder my BBs cant keep up!

So how is everyone else??? Thread is quiet lately. When does everyones DCs go back to school? Mine don't start back until September 8th this year... a little later than usual... lucky them!

Yey new thread that loads straight away and doesn't crash my computer

All this baby talk is making me even more broody! I seem to be surrounded by babies at the moment! My best friend is 16 weeks pregnant, my next door neighbour had a baby last week and a couple of other friends have recently had babies!! It doesn't bother me, it's lovely for them. I know it will happen for me eventually and it's not like I don't have 3 to keep me busy already.

I'm child free tonight, my youngest and eldest have gone away to Norfolk for a few days with my Mum to stay with my brother, sounds like they are having a great time on the beach and having fun. Middle DD didnt go as she had dancing commitments but she's sleeping at a friends tonight so just me and DH V relaxing!

Haven't booked yet but we're hoping to go on holiday week after next, gonna surprise the kids the day before and tell them to get packed, I'm looking at Cyprus but as long as it has a beach and a pool I'll be happy. It's been a few years since we went abroad and we deserve it!

CD5 today, holiday coincides with fertile times so roll on

Hi girls marking the thread, had a crazy w/e with friends. You know you are drunk when you sing xmas songs in August lol! Oh dear!

Babyblue, yay on the sleeping. It may be colic, I hope it goes soon.xx ~It must be so lovely having a new baby! I LOVE new baby smell and new baby feet. And I especially love when they have finished feeding and arch their heads back with little grumpy faces!!! Aweeee!!! One day for me....

MrsD, how far along are you, have a happy healthy pg.

Hi to everyone else.

MrsD - Nesting already!! LOL. I started nesting early this time around, and then had another round of it the week I gave birth. My poor DH was complaining that his 'honey-do' list kept getting longer the more things he did!

Had a good day with the boy today He must be going through a growth spurt because he has been sleeping quite a bit. Makes for an easier day, thats for sure. Too bad he is still fussy when he is awake. Was able to go on our first outing today to a family BBQ, which was quite nice. Adult conversation, good food, and had my first nice cold beer in over a year ... cant go wrong! Not to mention, there were plenty of eager arms to hold the baby!!
