Just Shagging Grads thread No.13 for upduffed viroids!

[Nessalina]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 13th grads thread... celebrating the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed!

For those that don't know, a 'viroid' is from the original JSing thread 1, where someone was trying to type ladies (in reference to all the JSing ladies), but their phone decided to call us all viroids instead!

The name stuck and we've been the JSing viroids ever since.

The thread we have graduated from is here in its 29th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

There is also a Just Mumming thread in postnatal clubs here for once your babies come along, or to keep up with the graduated graduates! It's a bit quiet at the moment, but with all these upduffed viroids hopefully it won't be for long!

There is also a private facebook group (so it doesn't give the game away in your news feed!)... if you want to join to see photos of new babies etc, just ask in-thread!

So, roll call below please, viroids!

Also risk of overheating with co-sleeping I think Callipy. The cot things aren't really the same as they are separate from you but easier to get access to. We'll hopefully just have a bog standard crib though if we can borrow same one we did last time. cos I'm cheap like that.

Luna would he read up on it? (MrWil probably wouldn't). It is a big deal having a CS but he may start to realise there are benefits too. My recovery last time was similar in time to a CS recovery but if you bounced back quickly, I can see that would be an issue. Especially with another child around. MIL sounds a bit forceful? You know your body better than anyone. He'd come round I'm sure or just book it and tell him the doctor said you had to have it.

MiniWil up with a cough, sigh.

That's an ungodly hour Wil

I also just noticed the time you posted wil how old is mini wil? DD is nearly 4 and still has me up through the night but she's getting better. No 4am extended wake ups for a long time. I don't envy you!

She's two. In fairness, she is normally a great sleeper so I shouldn't moan. But she was up from 3-6 and I now look like . We're skipping swimming and watching Peppa!

Sounds awkward Luna Ultimately your decision though!! Maybe leave him to simmer down a while and rebroach the subject later? Perhaps he has a bit of pts from the last birth - if it was dramatic?

Yuk Wil Hope mini wil is ok and naps later!!

Big baby turning wishes Ness and Juni

We've got the bednest cosleeper. It attaches to side of bed but seperates you from baby with a mesh panel. so you can still see and be physically close but not actually have them in your bed. I think the smothering risk is what makes actual cosleeping a bit unpopular.

The husband isn't too bothered about me having a C-section, neither am I tbh, I just think as long as we both come out of it the right way i'll take it, however I was all prepared with a story to convince him, and everything.. it goes something likie this..

'but honey, after ive recovered, think of how nice and tight ill be!'... hahaha, is that awful?
Sadly, didnt need to use it, gutted, would have loved to see his reaction!

He said something quite entertaining last night. Im feeling a bit achy (a lot) in my hips and thighs and walking anywhere is proving to be a bit painful now (im not even big so who knows why) so I think he wanted to change my mind and chat about something else..

H 'Guess I'm doing christmas dinner this year then?'
M 'Well, yes. I think it's probably happening that way'
H 'Oh'
M 'Why? I'll probably not be fit for purpose, you like cooking, it'll be lovely'
H 'I'ts not that'
M 'What is it then?'
H 'Can I play with the baby in between doing the dinner'

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Soft lad thinks he's going to miss out. Bless him!

I'll dine out on that one for a while, especially tomorrow when his 'rents rock up!

What other adorable (stupidly ) entertaining things have your blokes said?
Cheer me up, i'm stuuck on reception and its DEAD"!

Lots of Telly and cuddles today wil! It was the sleepless nights that put me off having another for so long! I need my sleep!

I reckon I'm due a terrible sleeper this time Lauren, although hopefully it'll be a less fussy eater!

Min, I think that's really sweet! Can't think of anything MrWil has said. He is besotted with MiniWil but did say he would quite like a boy so he could take him to the football . Because obviously you can't take a girl... To his credit he did spend literally hours walking about with the wee one when she was a colicky baby as she screamed whenever he sat down.

Do you think you should self-refer to physio Min? It could well be uncomfortable at your stage but you shouldn't be hobbling already. My friend has crutches for PGP and the physio sees her every week or so to pop her hips back into alignment. May help?

Aaah Min that's so cuuute! Lol. Bless him!!

Mr P has come out with some stunners. Including:

"So baby wipes, are they different to like... flash wipes then?"

"They make nappies in more than one size!?!? "

On feeling baby kick a week or so ago... "Awww, it's really in there!" Err... yeah!

Oh and then there was the time he suggested painting the nursery burgundy...

Aw min that's lovely! My DP hasn't said a massive amount yet, he's told me he will do some night feeds and take his turn but that's a given. It's probably more how he was when I had the bleed this week that I'm pleased with this week. He's not a big talker and if he's worried he won't talk at all, so the journey to the hospital was silent. But he didn't let go of my hand from the minute we got there until after the scan bless him. For my DP that's a big deal

Popz! Burgundy?!

Hahaha popz, I can see it now. 'Honey, we're out of the Johnsons wipes, but don't worry, I had some Mr Muscles in the kitchen! Also the cottons wools run out, panic not little woman of mine, I had some spare wire wool from scouring pans leftover!'
hahahahahah.....
Wait... That sounds like my bloke... hmmmmmm

wil not sure if it's that serious at the moment, I don't want to waste anyones time etc. Im going to hang on a week or two and if it does get worse i'lll be down there quicker than Bolt.
Someone else has just mentioned her friend went on crutches towards the end but because she was so tiny anyways, her hips really spread.
Now, me, Ive got the classic birthing hips, so this is especially unfair..

I'm with lauren here Burgundy?!

I'm going to leave mrLuna to think about the whole thing whilst I get as much info as possible, then speak to mum about a Doula, perhaps if she can suggest to him that in her absence we have one and then is mean about anything he did wrong in labour in a way she's allowed to be because she's his MiL and that's her perogative right? he might see the merit in one if I go ahead with a natural birth. Also going to call the health visitor over and get her advice because in theory as she deals with lots of mums post birth she can give me an idea on comparative recovery times and breastfeeding rates...

minion hubby has already told me he thinks I'm tighter now than I was before o.O I suspect that mostly I just healed badly as I was meant to get stitches but that never happened...

Onto silly things said /done:

MrLuna was told by a friend with a relatively young baby that you can never have enough muslin cloths, and I kid you not he bought a pack basically every time he went to a shop, I had to ban him in the end because we had near on 100 little muslin cloths! This time round he has my permission to buy any giant ones he sees but he's actively avoiding going near shops that I can make him spend money in :p

He also started researching into how early kids can grasp computer games, he was of the impression we could teach her to be a general damage dealer and start dungeoning on world of Warcraft with her before she could talk o.O at this rate she may well have grasped computers before she gets round to talking...

min it might be worth getting your name on the books regardless. I held off booking an appointment and then it got cancelled. I'm supposed to rebook but it's ok right now and it's in such an awkward place I can't be arsed.

luna it's definitely your decision - you're the one who's got to do the recovery etc. It sounds like your MIL is a bit over involved from here (sorry if over stepping the line). You don't have to tell her anything and do take what she says with a pinch of salt. My mum was a midwife and is really anti-vaginal birth!

Been reading up on posterior labour and there's a really good chapter in the Birth Skills book that's made me feel a bit better about it all. The churning sounds good ness. I had some big movements in bed last night but I can still feel it's knees all folded up at the front. I can't see how it's going to spin round tbh as it's got to sort of go round a corner so teeth gritted. Just hope it's head down enough for labour to start without going down the induction route etc....ARGH!

Sorry for the brain splurge, MrJ is still in bloody bed so here alone with my thoughts.

At the NCT classes they talked about placental delivery, DP sat their with a expression on his face, he thought the placenta came out with the baby coz on the telly after the baby's out the women go back to the ward!
After missing the last class he's decided he's just gonna youtube how to change a nappy & follow the instructions, can't wait for a poo fountain should keep him busy for ages!

Haha the menfolk are all so funny. MrWil says best nappy changing advice I gave him was get the second nappy underneath before sorting out the first one. That has saved some messy carpets. And of course if it's a boy, cover the front as quickly as possible to avoid getting sprayed in the face!

I love the thought of MrPopz wiping baby down with the flash anti-bacs and then wrapping it up in size 6 nappies!

Min, I reckon wasting people's time is the last thing you should worry about. It can take a while to get appointments and you want to be comfortable for labour. Luckily some nice physio saw me in her lunchbreak last time but doubt they're all that nice.

Haha, he's a special case And yes, burgundy... I have no idea why either!!

DP says things that are so daft they must be jokes e.g. we won't bother with nappies for long - we'll just teach them to go on the loo.

I once painted the skirting boards in my bedroom burgundy - mum was not impressed.

Oooh it's lunchtime! Having an eat-all-the-food day today. I'm going to a leaving party for an emigrating friend later and there will be a buffet. Can't wait!

It's not worth worrying about Juni (easier said than done) as you're already doing all you can.

Ooh Ness DS used to stick his feet out under my ribs and would squirm when I poked them. Fx it is his feet and not hands/elbows!

Can we have pics of how you've done your nurseries??

Mmm buffet. So jealous. Haha Pis you could do elimination communication or whatever it's called. Can MrPis come round and teach MiniWil to use the toilet please?

Wow I'd not heard of elimination communication before - just looked it up. Not sure I'm up for that! I especially don't fancy "potty whispering" on DVD Must make sure MrPis does not ever see anything about this practice......!

If he is successful in getting a newborn to use a toilet he will have a new career on his hands. I'll let you all have a discount

pis agree @ DP saying ridiculous things. Mr Tee cheerfully told me the other night that our baby with 'only need a few essentials' to start with 'three or four things to wear'

I love him to death, but he is totally, totally clueless in the bodily fluids ejection department. (unless it's his own)

Have any of you made a birth partner guide for your other half? Like with things he needs to research into / have an understanding of. The things he needs to pack. The things you want need him / don't want him to do? I'm wondering if a terrifying check list might help him understand my thought process,it would kind of be like a birthplan, but specifically for him?
