"I'm a July baby.....GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!"

[JimmyChoo17]

hi ladies fresh new thread in which hopefully we will ALL have our babies happy and healthy on the right side of our bellies by the time it comes round to a fresh new July new born thread :)

oh and weight wise 2 weeks ago tomorrow BabyTwit was 10lb 4 WRT nappy sizes.
Have I you all yet?

Thank you for all the suggestions. Glad to hear I am not the only one. I thought I was doing something wrong. I told DH that I might be able to sign off on accounts but clearly I can't put a nappy on the right way!

I am still perplexed as to why huggies are sold everywhere. They really were so much worse than any of the brands I have tried. Even the target up&up was better (and yes the poop went up&up to her neck!).

Perhaps they've changed them then, DS1 is nearly 13 after all. great seeing as i've now got a pack. Ah well we'll see. (maybe American huggies are different clutching at straws )

I'm currently using pampers/sainsburys before I start with the washables.

Huggies this time proved less reliable with wee. However with ds1 huggies were the nappy of choice!

Btw, at some point tomorrow, I'll be disappearing til Sept - off on holiday so no posting.

Hopefully I'll be back with good news about tans, successful tt snips and big weight gains

so far so good with huggies, they are the normal size 3 not the new baby ones if that makes a difference.
Eglu how many breast pads do you get through and did you get measured before buying a bra? I am enormous big of norkage so might need to try a couple of sizes- did you send any back etc etc? I like the look of the nursing vests..

have a great holiday, although not telling us about the snip etc for 2 weeks? Hmmph.

That's a good idea button! I've just nagged DP. I don't feel good about it but it needed to be done. I rarely do it so hopefully with his tail inbetween his legs he'll do the jobs I've asked before me and my post natal hormones do it myself! Ooh and I think I'm about to ovulate, feels odd not ttc, that just me?

Change of subject: poo, DS2 is pooing a lot now he is on hypoallergenic formula- milk protein allergy. Perhaps 2/4 poos a day. That normal?

Have a lovely holiday.
Hope the nappy issue get resolved.
I wish I wasn't so grumpy!
How's everyone else getting on?

The snip button?

Wrong snip! DS's TT not dh. There's not a chance he'd do that

Twit The Anita onesare european sizes. I had to get an I cup. I am usually a GG/H. I kind of knew what I needed size wise and was correst in the hotmilk and anita. The hotmilk I got a GG.

I only have 10 breatpads and it is not enough really as I use two pairs in 24 hours minimum.

oooh been AWOL from this thread hope everyone ok (im on fb everyday but not always time to mn) will read back will we start a PN thread? x

Ah I see. Oh let's hope so!

Make sure you put it in bold (what it's called and where it is) otherwise when I get back from holiday I might be lost!

We do need a postnatal thread. There was one started with date of birth and stuff, but I can't find it.

Someone asked how FAB and Confuddled were, they are on FB a fari bit and both doing well.

Agreed Eglu we do! I am so crap at thread titles though!
Button I'll pm you the link when we have one :)

Close to breaking point today. Sure it's just hormones but Argh! I'm cleaning whilst my mum watches the boys to cheer myself up and not sob at my lack of birthday festivities and cake for tomorrow

I'm not great at thread titles either.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

What about:

HELP, I have a newborn, get me outta here!

What about, 'HELP, I have a newborn and am covered in poo and puck!'

This morning she decided to do a poop which went up the front of her diaper and pucked at the same time all over me. We were both such a huge mess I took off her diaper and took her in the shower with me. When I got out of the shower I found the dog 'cleaning up'. Never thought this would be my life!

My SIL and her perm fiance (it's been 3yrs now so no idea why they don't just go and get hitched) are visiting. I have not gotten on well with her in the past but things are going well so far. Hope it lasts.

Sounds good to me!! Lets get it started asap so we can assist one another with our woes!

Just got back from first night out. Went out at 7.45 two v small galsses of wine and had to come home. Not feeling nice after that. Missed bubba!! x

Hi all! Had a good wkend?
Mine has been up and down, or maybe I just feel very up and down.
Do we have a new thread? Have I missed the boat?
DS2 is doing really well, still not enjoying being put down too much and does like having a morning nap too much.
Hope everyone else is well.

Hi all,

I was at a party in Yorkshire for the weekend for my cousins 18th. It was lovely to catch up with the family, but the 4 and a half hour drive home was not so good. I was also up at 6.20 am with DD and my boys woke not long after that, despite being up until 11pm. I went to bed at 8.30 last night and am still tired.

I then had a not so good time when I got home last night as when I checked my emails I had a message from my Dad congratulating me on DDs birth.

Long story short, I haven't spoken to my Dad for 18 months as he is crap at keeping in contact and I was getting sick of making all of the effort. He only ever got in touch with me when I did things like send him birthday cards etc. because it reminded him I exist. It got very upsetting for me and I decided to stop sending him cards etc. for my sanity.

He is still my friend on FB but doesn't use it much, so I'm not sure if he knew I was pregnant or has only just found out I've had a baby.

I spent half of the night feeling guilty for not telling him, even though he has never called me or contacted me in any way in the past year and a half. I never get birthday cards or even a text from him. My children don't get birthday cards from him, yet I'm the one who feels guilty. I am so angry with him for making me upset, and I now need to calm down and think what to reply to him. The main problem is he is my Dad and I still love him and have always been a Daddys girl, even though he never deserved it.

Arrrgh, I don't need this when I'm still hormonal.

Sorry for the epic ranting post.

Oh Eglu! Firstly, minus the journey and what not on glad you had a lovely time catching up with family for your cousin's 18th.
And secondly, don't feel guilty about your dad, you have done nothing wrong. You deserve much better, you don't need me to tell you that.
Post natal hormones IMO are as bad as anti natal ones if not worse. I hope you are being looked after.

How is everyone holding up? The 4am night feed and putting 2 to bed and sorting the house and dinner out is seriously stressing me out!

oh Eglu hugs. My dad was crap until i had kids, strangely brought us closer together. Hopefully now he's made first move things may improve?

PWB I so know what you mean its groundhog day every day isn't it? i find the end of day, trying to do tea when dd is overtired and often crying the hardest. Tea, tidy, bath and bed is exhausting. DH is constantly tired So often off to bed at 9pm feel like I never stop like a whirling dirvish! Having four is ALOT busier than I imagined. But looking forward and onwards to september and my sanity and routine returning!!

I know what you mean about having four I am constantly busy. I have to admit during the week I had extra help my cousin stayed mon to Thursday and helped out with my DD (she has SN and is a wheelchair user, unable to feed, dress herself etc she is 10 and needs the care of a newborn). But she goes back to London on the 1st September. I know I will manage but the extra set of hands is so helpful. I think I am starting to panic and I know the boys will miss her so much. Ds3 is now 8 weeks old and gets his first immunisation later on today- poor baby and typical dh is away for afew nights with work. I hope he is ok with them. Back to bed now as ds3 finished his feed.
