Oh Bums I have just realised that means I am next!!! Shock

It's the boys weekend with their Dad so I am going to bathing in Clary Sage and eating curry. In fact I might eat curry while in the birth pool filled with Clary Sage.

Grin mckayz Grin

Yey mamma!! What a beautiful name and a good size too! Well done for doing all the hard work, that's crazy impressive with cx like that for 36 hours!

I know a little about how scary it can be when everything changes at the very last minute. The main thing for now is that you're both ok. But if you're still struggling with the birth in a few weeks then it would be understandable! Enjoy those snuggly newborn moments Smile

:o That's the spirit, McKayz! :o

Photo up now, sorry, Bun. Will add more when I sort out the dongle/computer/lap top/wireless/interwebs..... nothing bloody works!

Davinaaddict · 08/06/2012 08:47

That sounds like a great plan McKayzGrin Although fx that you won't need it as the baby will arrive today when you sneeze WinkGrin

Lauren had her first overnight in her cot last night and only woke up at 3.20am and 6.55am Smile I'm so pleased, as it had got to the stage where we seemed to be waking each other up in the night, more than sleeping Sad I missed her lots, but at least we both got some more sleep, which means we'll have better quality time when she's awake Smile I just hope it continues to go so well!

Congratulations Mamma!! What a gorgeous name!
So sorry you had such a difficult labour, sounds exhausting! I hope you get lots of rest and feel better really soon Thanks

Fools! What a gorgeous picture! She's beautiful Smile

Woo McKayz! Grin

I've just realised, I never properly shared my (rather short) labour story, It's all a bit hazy now! Grin

Today would be a very nice day to have the baby. It is my Nans birthday.

But I don't see it happening.

aw mamma I'm so sorry the birth didn't go well - I know how it feels to be left in unbearable pain for hours like that - there are no words. I hope you have someone you can talk to about it - but equally don't feel pressured into discussing it all if you don't feel ready. I couldn't really talk about my birth at first and even now prefer not to apart from with DP. For me it's very much been a process to come to terms with it - and I think it will haunt me for a while yet. Whenever I find myself lingering on the shit bits I remind myself to look at Odie and think about how amazing he is and I try to be thankful that we both came out of it ok in the long run.. It is getting easier with time - I hope the same will be true for you.

That said - CONGRATULATIONS!! What a great weight she is! I love her name - it's beautiful! I hope you had a good first night together with not too many poo-explosions!! Grin

davina wow! that's fantastic - fingers crossed she carries on sleeping so well in her cot! I'm not looking forward to Odie going in his cot - but I can totally see co-sleeping getting trickier as he gets bigger - I suspect he will just want more space at some point and will hopefully be happy going into his cot to get it! I will really miss my sleepy cuddles though.. The bed must feel really big without Lauren in it!!

fools Flissy is gorgeous!! Grin re name changing - I've always liked your name - but I can't agree on you being an idiot - you aren't at all!! Grin Hope Flissy's tummy is better today! :)

davina ooh - EpicOde - I really like that - I think we have a winner!! Grin

trouble how's Fyfe doing? Any new photos to share..? :) Once the weather is nicer we must arrange for you, me and bun to meet up!

So, do you all have the horrid weather today? We've got 60mph winds here so i'm planning on spending the day on the sofa with Odie.. (well, I might do a little bit of housework, but I'm feeling pretty lazy!!) Our gazebo made a bid for freedom in the wind and made it from the super sheltered north facing patio behind the house all the way around to the side of the house! Is totally wrecked - off to buy a new one this weekend (and some weights to hold it down!!) I'm also getting one of these for the beach so it's easier to go there with Odie without worrying about finding shade for him (bun and i made comedy shelters with the buggys on the beach the other day - reckon this will be easier, if less funny looking!!) Roll on summer!!

TroubleAndFyfe · 08/06/2012 16:50

GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin congratulations mamma and welcome Violet! Gorgeous name, was the Violet/Blubes link intentional? Grin here's wishing you a really speedy recovery!
Sorry I've been a bit quiet on here of late, I have been reading but always in a hurry! I love the photos ghost! Haven't been on the laptop yet to see everyone else's! As soon as I get a chance though I will and I'll get some recent pics of Fyfe up too. Smile
I love the sound of your plan mckayz, good luck with that!Smile
Well done on the sleeping davina!
I know how you feel on the not being able to put baby down front ellie but it really does get better! Smile
trope I would love to meet up with you and bun! I'm generally free on Mondays and Wednesdays at the moment so let me know a date and we'll be there!
We had a lovely baby massage class this morning, Fyfe had a 15 minute full body massage and loved it! We start swimming classes next week so really looking forward to that. We've had lots of weather filled walks with the dogs this week, Fyfe is great and just puts up with it all, he's such a little angel!
Hope you all have lovely weekends and congratulations again to mamma! Grin

TroubleAndFyfe · 08/06/2012 17:22

Oh and fools have you gone off draw something? Smile

TroubleAndFyfe · 08/06/2012 18:38

As if by magic fools appeared! Grin

elliebug · 08/06/2012 18:51

Just getting ready to go to work Confused not my normal job, my second job- respite, which I don't get mat pay for Sad however, I'm taking jake with me cos oh is at work!! Should be funHmm

Davinaaddict · 08/06/2012 21:56

Mamma its just occurred to me that Violet arrived on her due date! Please can we have some pics soon? Grin

I've finally managed to catch up on the photos now I'm on the laptop & have uploaded a couple of Lauren & DS for you all to have a nosy at Smile I've decided that not only was the TTC a 2012 baby a lucky thread, but it also had a lot of parents that make very beautiful babies Grin

So, I've a bit of an embarrassing confession to make Blush As I was clearly so tired last night, I must have passed out after giving Lauren to DH. Apparently she didn't actually settle properly until about 2am Blush So much for both of us having a good nights sleep! She's had one good nap today but has then been mostly awake since 11am zzz So I'm hoping for a better night tonight for all of us Smile It's not helped by the fact that she's full of cold as well Sad

Now then Little Miss McKayz, it's time to come out now. You're mum is not feeling her best and would very much like to meet you, so hurry up please Grin

PS does anyone know how to get out of a game of Draw Something? DH has sent me one and I can't see it but apparently it's my turn. Plus I've another friend who has recreated her fb profile and I can't get rid of that one either Confused

elliebug · 08/06/2012 22:32

Slide to the left over that game and it brings us a delete button, hope it worksSmile

Davinaaddict · 08/06/2012 22:38

Ooh it did! Thanks ellie Smile I nearly deleted you by accident though as you were below the one I was trying to get rid of Grin Come back when you're brain power comes back neglects to tell ellie that once you've had a baby it never comes back fully Wink Hope you managed to get some biscuits and work isn't too awful.

elliebug · 08/06/2012 22:38

Mckayz, tomorrow (I hope) I shall update the stats, or at least try to, then your little one will have to come so she isn't left out! Plan!Grin

McKayz · 09/06/2012 11:35

Davina There are no pictures Sad If I click to have a look it says you haven't made any photo's public yet.

I had a spicy takeaway curry last night and a bath with clary sage. Nothing, not a thing. I was up most of the night. I fell asleep at 6am for an hour.

I've had another clary sage bath and I need to do housework so I am hoping I can get all that done in time for a nap later.

Davinaaddict · 09/06/2012 12:02

Oh bugger - will go and check when I boot the laptop later. Hopefully it will be because I'm a dingbat and haven't updated my mumsnet mates with your new nn Grin

Davinaaddict · 09/06/2012 12:04

Ps have you tried the evening primrose oil?

McKayz · 09/06/2012 12:12

No I haven't. I had some ordered with my Asda shopping but it didn't come and I haven't got round to buying any.

TroubleAndFyfe · 09/06/2012 12:15

Well worth it mckayz, 2 up the hoo hoo before bed! Grin

Davinaaddict · 09/06/2012 13:11

As I thought - rubbish me forgot to update my list when you and Bun changed nn. All sorted, so you should be able to see them now Smile

McKayz · 09/06/2012 13:22

Awwww!!! I love that picture of her grinning in her sleep! Sooo cute.
