Hello Ladies,
Still waiting for a phone call back to say there's a bed available Hmm, they do want to try and get me in today
BUT I have just seriously lost my plug and getting lots of pain so now not sure what will happen!!!

KLou111 · 13/10/2011 16:53

Ooo madkatz sounds like you're on your way. Can you phone the ward yourself? You'll have no choice but to go in if the pain gets stronger cos you'll be well on your way!! Huuuge good luck to you all x x x

Euan bloody brilliant. Very very brave, had one scream, straight on feeding and that was it!!
50th centile weight and head circ, 75th for height!!! He is 60.5cm so I was a bit out there lol!!

Going swimming Saturday with him, hv said ok and phoned leisure centre as usually from 3 months but they said ok. Can't wait, I've got him such a cute little swim suit :)

Prince Edward flew over in a helicopter while I was feeding to land in the school.field next door. Hv opened the door to see so I hope old princey didn't get an eyeful lol!!

Going swimming next Thursday now, brother coming Saturday to meet Euey for the first time (he travels a lot). Am a bit gutted as was looking forward to it, but will be nice for my bro to meet our little man :)

OP posts:
KLou111 · 14/10/2011 12:58

Am being a bit of a loner on here lol!!

Well, think the jabs have really took it out on our little man. He slept 7-11.30, feed, asleep 12:30-5 (dummy in), woke 6 for quick feed, asleep 6:15, awake at 9:15 for feed, asleep at 10 and still asleep now!!! Got a feeling we're going to pay for this tonight!
Letting him do what he likes today though, mustn't be nice those nasty bugs going inside his pure little bod :(

Yep klou it's just you here [hgrin] That red snowsuit is for when it's really cold, it's size 6-9 months. Gorgeous though isn't it? None of poppys jabs affected her like that, she was just grumpy and extra clingy for the rest of the day!

Hows it going madkatz? Hope it all goes ok anyway, good luck to you all!! [hsmile]

iwish how has joshua been since the other night? I hope he's been good for you!

liz did you manage to catch up on your sleep?

Hope all's ok with you gruff!

I am ill. Got a stinking cold and i can't have anything for it [hsad] feel like a bag of shit tied up. Had a bad night with poppy last night and tbh i don't feel like i should be alone with her. I go dizzy when i stand up! At least simon will be home at 3. I wish someone else could have her for a few hours [hsad]

KLou111 · 14/10/2011 14:43

Lol melly on the suit. Euan got a blur one when he was born 6-9, I said to my mum and dad when they got it, there is no way he'll be that big so soon surely?? I'll be eating my words I think lol.

Hope you feel better soon, not nice being ill :(
I've not been ill since before I was pregnant so am not looking forward to it if I do.
Can't you have lemsip?

In case you're interested, boots are doing little swimmers nappies half price!! Had a £2 voucher too so got a starter pack which is 6 nappies and a hooded towel for 67p!!!! So I got another box cos will need for hols anyway if we haven't used them all by then.
Have 2 packs already but they are 15lbs+ so a bit big at the mo, but these are up to 15lbs so should be ok for a while :)

lizandlulu · 14/10/2011 19:32

hiya all. no news from madatz?

my internet has been foo all day, local fault aparently. its stil lslow, but working now.

melly Sad for you, its awful having a cold at the best of times, never mind having a baby to look after. have you got some vicks rub? or would that put poppy off feeding?

klou how long till you go on hol? i go a week on wednesday and it cant come soon enough!!

the woman who owns the apaptment rang me on tuesday asking me if i would cancel my booking through the website and pay her by bank transfer! errr not likely!! she rang me and sounded really nice but still not doing that! so have left it as it is, she said the website was going to make her wait for the money, but she needs to take that up with them, not me.

iwish hows joshua? is he behaving himself today?Smile

KLou111 · 15/10/2011 11:29

22 Nov we go Liz so about 5.5 weeks I think. Came bloody wait, although this gorgeous weather isn't making the wait too bad!!

madkatz is there a mad kitten yet???

KLou111 · 15/10/2011 11:29

*Can't wait grrr

OP posts:
KLou111 · 15/10/2011 11:35

That's a bit of a cheek isn't it?? Asking you for the money. Stick to your guns!

Have never known a baby to sleep so much. Euan had probably only been awake a total of 4 hours from 7 thurs night to 8.30 this morning! only woke for food, nappy and his bath. Think those jabs really affected him. (Good for us though lol!! Shock slaps her hand)

OP posts:
Iwish · 15/10/2011 11:44

Morning all!

Joshua has a fairly decent night last night so a happy bunny again. Wasn't as good as the other night but definitly making progress. Also had him weighed yesterday and he's now a chunky monkey at 9lb 3oz!! He was 7lb 4oz at birth then lost 7%. Very proud of him gaining the weight, he's 4 weeks old tomorrow.

Sorry you are feeling so crap melly will Simon have her for a few hours so you can go and get a few hours rest/sleep? Are you feeling better today?

klou not long till your hols then! Are you taking the Mick re nice weather? It's lashed it down here all week [hsad]. How is Euan since his jabs? I have joshuas appt for his jabs. 4 weeks away. I can't wait to take Joshua swimming. Are you going to a class or just taking him to a open pool?

liz She's a cheeky cow asking you to do that! It's her own fault for advertising through that website. Is lulu excited for your hols? Will you be taking violet in the pool etc?

Can't wait to hear madkatz news. I reckon she has a blue bump.

Are you about gruff? not heard from you for a while.

lizandlulu · 15/10/2011 12:58

wow klou that is alot of sleep!

iwish yes will be taking her in the pool/sea, she has 2 sun suits i have kept from lulu and cant wait to see her face!. i am really looking forward to it. lulu is excited, the other family have got 3 girls and they all play well together so am looking forward to her being with them and not wanting me all the time! sounds awful i know, but its nice for her to play with kids, rather than me! i am actually going to take a book!

Iwish · 15/10/2011 13:38

It doesnt sound awful, you need a break sometimes. Especially if she is usually a little clingy with mummy lol. I bet she will enjoy having someone to play with. Aww little sun suits! Im going to but a little swimsuit thing for Joshua and take him swimming when he's big enough and has had his jabs.

Well we are going to have a walk round the local lake today and possibly out for lunch then our friends are coming tonight for tea. What's everyone else doing today?

KLou111 · 15/10/2011 13:50

Aw it will be nice for you to have a break Liz. Aren't sun suits soooo cute!!
She'll look lovely. Can't wait to use ours. I've got Euan 3, but one is size 12 months lol but it was a bargain on ebay (99p new!) so I bought it.

We're taking him to a class Iwish in the slightly heated pool I think. He's got to have a full suit (we'll use his sun suit) so can't wait!!

Nice weather here today, been crap all week mind.
Enjoy your walk.

Brother still not here yet, he's had to go another way due to the millennium stadium being rammed for the Welsh game. Took mum and dad 6 hours to get here the day Euan was born due to the England v Wales match! (Usually 3-3.5 hours)
Not sure if he is staying or not, he said depends on how long it takes him to get here.

Have a fab weekend all x

iwish well i have had a thrilling day..not. went up town this morning with mum and me mate, had coffee, came home and dont not alot of anything apart from a few jobs, put washing out etc. i have just made the new bouncy chair that we bought last weekend, its been in the box all week waiting for chris to make it, but hes got too much else onHmm he is bad books yet again.

we got this onewww.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=fisher+price+infant+to+toddler&hl=en&rlz=1W1ADFA_enGB419&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1360&bih=521&wrapid=tlif131868830047610&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=372487391036841809&sa=X&ei=TZaZTpriFIiMswaQ0fHdBQ&ved=0CFkQ8wIwAA# it sits up alot more than out other one. she was nearly laid flat in it and she likes to be sat up abit more now

lizandlulu · 15/10/2011 15:20

klou have a nice time with your brotherSmile

KLou111 · 15/10/2011 20:24

Bro just left, was nice to see him. Don't envy the journey back for him though, but he wanted to get back tonight rather than go in the mornung, which is fair enough. Meant I haven't got to worry about someone being here tonight and waking them.

That's the chair we almost got Liz looks fab x

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 15/10/2011 21:24

have you got summer clothes for euan klou? i have had 4 short all in ones for violet off ebay, dead cheap cause they are out of season arent they. i looked in a load of shops in meadowhall cause i thought there would be some in the sales, but nothing in her size so got them off there. wont feel bad about chucking them in the charity shop bag when we get backSmile i have reused alot of what was lulu's but as she was born in oct, all her 3-6 stuff is winter.

got to play tooth fairy tonight too, lulus 3rd tooths come out, its been hanging by a thread for days! she could wobble it back and forward loads, but wouldnt come out!

MadKatz · 15/10/2011 22:26

Evening ladies,
After 19 hours of no progress on highest dose of inducing injection and epidural AND gas and air Confused Sophie May born at 13.17 yesterday 8lb 7 ounces by caesarian, we're both fine now although she was very sick for the first 8 hours due to severe ingestion during the c section, paeds are happy with her today x

Iwish · 16/10/2011 06:23

Yey congrats madkatz!! welcome to the world Sophie [hgrin]. Hope you recover nicely and can't wait to see the pics.

Joshua has been attached to my boob from 5:30pm until 1:00am!! I have had maybe 1 hour rest in between and that's been a few 5-10 mins here and there! I put him down at 1:00 and he woke up at 5:45. 45 mins extra sleep for 7 hours of feeding lol [hhmm]. Going tonput him back down soon n go back to bed!

SpookhettiTwirlerAndProud · 16/10/2011 06:35

Congratulations madkatz!! That's a lovely name! Hope you recover ok and try and rest as much as you can! Really well done [hsmile]

Hope you get some sleep iwish. Speaking of which, i'm going to put poppy back to bed and then go back to sleep myself!

lizandlulu · 16/10/2011 08:38

madkatz yeyyyy!!! fianlllyyyyy!!! another cesarian mummy like meSmile bet you are glad its over now tho. lovely name too. was you awake during the op? shes a good weight too (cause you been cooking her for so long!) did you have a feeling it was a girl? or was it a complete suprise?

ohh i am sooo happy for you!

iwish Naughty joshua!! get some sleep today?

violet went to bed at 9 on the dot, was alseep by9.20 with only a few moans, not enough to make me go to her. then woke up at 3.20 for bottle and again at 6.30 but made chris do that one. hes off racing again today so i made him get up and go to her. shes just starting to wake now.

klou i was thinking about what you said about 5 hours counting as sleeping through!! i bet who said that is not the proud owner of a new babyGrin
