Lota, Huge Congratulations And a big well done as well How is Aiden taking to the new addition? How are you feeling?

And Wuzz, I wrote an email to Jen yesterday (that reminds me, I didn't finish it and send it!!) but I was saying you hadn't been on for ages, but I have lost your email so couldn't get in touch, glad everything is going well

Cori, I can't believe Jack is 17 weeks already, I remember when he was born, seems like yesterday!!

Peachy, have a good last week, not long to go now

Everything is going really well here, George is breast feeding really well, we have just gotten over the 6 week growth spurt, awaiting the 12 week one with baited breath! Pictures are here here and here if anyone is interested

Anyone else want to join me back on the TTC threads next year?

hi nat i will not be joing you next year on ttc thread my ttc days are over

I shouldn't think you would want to go through it all again, but you still have the best bit to come yet!!

lol

been to gp this morning about my spd! he can not get over how am putting my self through this again

Was he helpfull about the SPD? When is your scan?

hi nat!! omg your lo is gorgeous!!! my email addy is [email protected] as im sure u guessed, dh picked it say hiya to jen for me

glad that u are both well

trace, hows pg going??

Yes he pretty damn lovely LOL And, get me with the links, I am a techy girl now!!

No comment on the joining me on the TTC threads again then???!!

HAH!! not likely lol. my poor fanjo nearly had a nervous breakdown lol think anna could well be an only child

are u seriously having another next year??

lol @ ur links. well done nat!! must admit i was chuffed first (and only) time i did a link and it worked

LMAO nervous break down!!!

Yes, I am serious, this time next year we will be back to buying tests and having a bloody good go at getting pregnant I can't wait!!!

Second labours are much easier BTW (I am hopelessly trying to get others in the mood for the next one, it seems I am the only one mad enough so far!!)

bloddy hell your brave!! so tell me, how is your other son dealing with being a big bro??

how many children do u want then? lol, ur mad woman, i dont think i could deal with the sleepless nights again either. i love anna dearly, but another...hmm, think id have to be very drunk i mean that in the nicest way, obv

DS1 is being so good, he is completely smitten with George, constant kisses and cuddles, not the slightest bit of jealousy, not that we've given any cause for it, and friends and family have been really good, taking as much time with Thomas as with George, bringing them both pressies and what nots. DH and I are being very careful to spend time with DS1 alone so he still gets the one to one attention he was used to. He has had a few unsettled bed times, he doesn't want to be the only one upstairs basically, but we seem to have gotten through that now. When I very casually sounded him out about maybe having another baby brother or sister, he replied with 'I'd like another baby brother, so we can call him George again'!!

Seriously, second babies are so much easier, I was really worried how we would cope with another newborn and DS1, but 6 weeks in and things are normal, sleep routines have established already (they never 'established' with DS1!!) breast feeding has been so so so much easier, I think it helps me that DS1 is at school, I think it will be a different story when we have the next one because I will have two at home all day, but I am willing to give it a go!!

The next will be the last, DH thinks he is getting too old now, I wouldn't want the two of them to be any closer than a year in age so we have to wait 12 months (well 10 and a half months now!!) and DH doesn't want to leave it more than another couple of years, so it will be sometime in 2008 or never really.

aaaah, thomas sounds like hes a fab big bro!

im sure that i'll still be around on mumsnet to be buggin the hell out of you in your next pregnancy

how long are u goin to breatfeed for? anna was 11 weeks on wednesday and shes still being breastfed

I don't know really, definately till 6 months, from then on, who knows? Having said that, if he carries on growing at the rate he is he isn't going to fit on my lap to feed for much longer!! He was weighed on Wednesday at 5 weeks 6 days and he was 13lb 7oz!! He is in 3-6 month clothes, and is actually starting to get too big for the 3-6m sleepsuits!

Big well done to you as well, have you thought about when you will stop? I guess you are coming up to the 12 weeks spurt, I am not looking forward to it, we have just gotten over the 6 week one and that was bad enough!!

wow!! big baby then anna was 11lb6 when she was last weighed at 8 weeks ish and she is just about to be in the 3 to 6 month clothing. i rekon by a week or so she will be in them,

she'll be having more injections before long i expect. i wanted to lump the bloddy doctor lol. she went beetroot and cried like mad, was very upset for the rest of the day and for about 3 days after she wasnt her happy little self.

as for the breastfeeding. i'll carry on with it till sehs 6 months, and like you, see what happens after that.

Ahh bless her, DS1 was never bothered by injections until he was old enough to understand, but I still hated taking him for them!

I am going to have to go and get DS1 from school, was nice to catch up though, and if I ever get round to finishing Jen's email I will say hi to her from you!!!

Hope we catch each other again soon, TC xxx

yeah it was great to catch up with u a bit! im on more often now so im sure we'll catch eachother on here again soon nat.

tc and it was good talking to you again xox

I have been and got DS1, come home, put a load of washing on (literally just muslins!!), changed the kitchen bin, fed and changed George, he is now led on the floor 'chatting' with DS1 (involves lots of "give us a smile" and "George is so nice mum" from DS1!!) Now don't know what to do with myself!

im waiting for dh to get hopme from work so he can have the baby while i do my exercise stuff. i miss working out believe it or not so started up again properly on monday for half hour a day when dh is home

aaaah @ thomas, thats sweet

Thomas and George

Well that filled a few minutes up...!!

Working out? What's that?!!! I have been walking round the block (I live on a mountain so round the block is more like climbing Mt. Everest!!) after I drop Thomas off in the morning most mornings, but other than that I am doing nothing to shift the weight!! I don't want to diet properly while breast feeding, and I don't want to loose loads of weight only to put it all again next year, so I am just going with it
