My boobs have never really grown much when bfing and I never had my milk 'come in' in a big dramatic fashion, I just gradually had milk so have bought a few nursing bras. Got one a bit more expensive from jojo maman bebe as well as a tummy tucking vest! And then have bought a 2 pack from mothercare that was in the sale so only £14. TbH they're not a great fit, the straps seem to be a bit far apart but I'm passed caring now, they'll do! Am on the lookout for a couple more cheap feeding vests though, no idea whats happened to the ones I had last time.
Notnearly - I felt a lot less movements on saturday so went in and spent half hour on monitor just to check all was ok. The mw was a bit crap though and first thing she said was 'oh yes they do slow down at the end', followed by 'have you had 10 movements today? You should be having 10 movements a day'
I had had more than 10 movements but normally I've had 10 movements within the first 10 mins of waking up and I had significantly less than I normally have so I lied and said I wasn't sure and then hissed to dp 'that's all bullshit!' the second she left the room!! But he started to move a bit more towards the end of my time in there and got really active again that night and has been ever since! But I would recommend going in if you're at all concerned. I felt a bit silly and like I was being a bit paranoid and only doing it cos I'd been reading the CTK threads but then thats the whole point of those threads isn't it - to get people to keep an eye on movements and make sure they get checked if they're at all concerned. I'd much rather go in and be told everything is fine than not go in and have it turn out that everything isn't ok.
Button - very glad I'm not the only one slacking on the home cooked meals front! Have ordered mince so will have to show dd (10) how to cook spag bol, think its about time I got her cooking anyway and spag bol is her absolute favourite so she should be well motivated! Have also bought stuff to make beef stew which I can just bung in the slow cooker so not too much effort involved there either!
Not sure if I mentioned it but I am now dog sitting for my dad for 2 weeks. The dog is a flat coat retriever and used to be mine and is ever such a good dog but not very easy to exercise in a town. We have 2 parks near by but despite being a retriever he doesn't really have any interest in retrieving and wanders around sniffing a bit but generally stays close and just walks with me so I end up having to walk round and round the park for him to get a decent amount of exercise. Struggling with this now and its also the reason he went to live with my dad a couple of years ago as I just couldn't manage to give him enough exercise like that with 3 young children. He wasn't misbehaving but just seemed miserable
My dad lives in a village and is semi retired and walks him a good couple of hours every day and double that at weekends and Murphy seems a lot happier now. But part of the agreement of my dad having him was that I would dog sit when he went on holiday so couldn't really say no. He is ever such a good dog, fantastic with the kids and they adore him and generally very well behaved. But he does pull when we first go out on a walk which is not good at all for my hips and neither is picking up his shit!! And while he does a great job of hoovering up any food the dc drop he does an equally good job at shedding black hairs all over everything! I normally love having him back (particularly in the summer when we can drive to nearby woods and hills and all go for nice long walks) iits just the worst possible timing at the moment.
Having some quite painful BH still - fingers crossed they develop into something more (and legs most definitely uncrossed!!!).
