still here. achey pains did seem to be getting more so but now eased off. rats!
egg glad you have a quick wash facility
Major congratulations to tyaca, you did it! looking forward to hearing about it. well done and good name
jaysthird, i'm now more worried i'll be last but at the same time i don't want you to be miserable being last either-let's hope we go into labour together.
could do with another creme egg-is this a sign???

A joint labour for the two of you would be perfect!

Oh well done tyaca - i nearly cried. how gorgeous. hope the birth was not too ghastly. did you get the bus to the hospital in the end. that's what we did - the bus driver nodded to the bump and i thought, 'well, he's really coming now'. congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Princess, what is it with our babies, we have made it too comfy for them!
On off niggles, same old same old. Feel like a fraud when i say things are happening then they stop!

A joint labor, that would be funny! Princess, i am 'into' extra strong mints at the moment - i HAVE to have at least four in a row and i HAVE to crunch them....same as ice, i can have a whole glass and crunch my way through it!! - thats not to say i dont eat my fair share of chocolate too though!

Raspberry thats encouraging to know you went into labor 36hrs after the show. I know shows can go on for weeks, but when your so overdue, surely a show means something more than that!!

Congrats, Tyaca! And good luck Jay and Princess (and anyone else left)...

oohh well done Tyaca xxx kisses for Esther

Jay great news that you've had a show, and princess aches and pains please keep us up to date, have either of you given much thought to title of our new post natal thread? now that its down to you two

Jaysthird - I didn't go into labour 36 hours after show - I had my babies within that time. DS1 was born around 20 hours after bleeding, DS2 was around 36 hours and DS3 was around 18 hours. I've got my fingers crossed for you. My third labour was pretty quick after 2 straightforward but not quick labours so hopefully your third will be quick too.

Congrats Tyaca!!!!

Bet you are over the moon with you baby girl!!!

Look forward to hering all the details as soon as you are up to it!!!

Good luck to both Jaysthird and PrincessLlama - it can't be long now.!"!!!!

oooooooooooo! Congratulations to Tyaca!! well done, petal!!! lol at the "ouch" comment too..... i remember my mum telling me having a baby was "a bit nippy!"
Jaysthird i had a show with dd1, and went into labour 14 hours later, so imagine it will all happen for you soon!
Princess fingers crossed for you too, and yeah, babies by Monday please from both of you would be lovely!
Well the infacol stuff seems to be working well for us, Alex is lke a different baby, and i've stopped being so miserable and have lost that feeling of dread as we get towards feeding time. For the last day or so she's managed to guzzle a 5oz bottle in about 15-20 mins, and then burp like a Boddingtons drinker before passing out knackered, perfect behaviour for someone nearly 4 weeks old! Huge sympathy to those still suffering, though, it's that horrible painful cry they do that just goes through you.... and very difficult to know what to do! One of the girls on the Jan post natal thread swears by Colief, and i also think there's a homeopathic thing too that might be worth trying? Have to say i'm also a fan of laying them on their tummy for a bit of a back rub..... added bonus that you sometimes get a big fart that way too....!
Anyway, had to go and buy a new washing machine today, old one now worse than useless!! took both kids into Curries with us, manager felt so sorry for us with broken washing machine he gave us a really good deal on delivery, and they'll even take the old one away on Monday when they drop off shiney new thing!! How sad am i to be excited by a new washing machine?? Show's how your world shrinks a bit, doesn't it!?
Also made appointment at docs for monday to get new prescription for the pill, dh waiting on appointment for a snip, but we're terrified of having "a wee accident" in the meantime. Egg much as i admire you i can't imagine even more mayhem than we have right now and 3 under 3 would just be a bloody nightmare!!! i'm more than happy with my 2 beautiful dds and my lovely dsd... adn dh reckons 3 daughters is expensive enough for anyone! Can you imagine the boyfriends we'll have to meet over the years? hee hee!
Anyway, didn't intend this to be such a long rant, hope everyone has a nice quiet night (except Jaysthird and Princess.... get contracting!!!!) lolo xx

...hi guys, what's been happening? More babies, great! Congrats to Tyaca, and hope you others have your babes soon.

Can't believe DS4 is 4 weeks old today, he's growing up too quickly! Even though his feeding technique isn't the best - takes in lots of air - he's putting on weight, over 9lb now from 8lb birthweight, and is getting a bit big for some of his clothes, although that may be partly down to his cloth nappies, he's in a disposable right now and he has no bum! And disps smell weird/horrible....Who was talking about cloth nappies? I'm using Diddy diapers which I'm not that keen on, and Sandys which I do like, and Fuzzibunz for going out/nighttime.

No cradle cap or spots here, but then he hasn't had a bath yet!

Gotta go, DH decided to go to work today, even though next weekend he will also be away (skiing) He obviously thinks I'm coping so well that I don't need him around...

morning ladies.

Nothing, nothing nothing....have decided to just lurk for a bit, i feel a right fraudster reporting 'something' then having to report 'nothing' it must be boring for you also!

I will keep my eye out for Princess and her 'news' and will let you know when something more definate happens....!!

Hope you all have a great day and a lovely weekend

jay you have to keep popping on to report nothing until something does happen or we will all worry when you are gone that you have been gone too long (if that makes sense...).

Feeling satisfied as have finally received CTF vouchers from government so have got all forms filled in and signed and set up direct debits etc etc all ready to post now. Am using Family Investments as we used them last time with DS1 and we can't be bothered to do more research.

How is everyone today? We had a good night last night. I went to bed LATE at 10pm but thankfully then got to stay in bed til 4am. Managed to get them both fed and back in bed by 5pm (did not tandem as DD still asleep when I started feeding DS2), and then got to stay in bed til 7am when DS1 woke up. Couldn't get back to sleep though til nearly 6am but hey, that's still SEVEN HOURSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Babies had a feed at 8:10am and have been asleep ever since. I think perhaps I ought to wake them if I want a good night tonight but it is so peaceful, esp as DH has taken DS1 out into town.

I managed to fix the buggy board to the Powertwin earlier, was so impressed as it actually works and with the extenders goes far enough back for him to be able to stand up. He was so excited since last night when we took it out of the box and kept trying to stand on it before I was done. Got it all finished and he stood on it while I wheeled the buggy plus board about a foot forward and he said "no no" and leapt off. Great. I think perhaps I will have to tell him he is not allowed to go on there and then he will want to . I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO ALWAYS CARRY ONE BABY IN A SLING EVERY TIME WE ALL LEAVE THE HOUSE.

Just sipping a nice cup of tea and eating more chocolate. Yesterday's food intake was APPALLING for me.

Chocolate and coffee for breakfast.
Mcdonalds for lunch.
Various biscuits and chocolate during afternoon.
Pizza and salad (with lots of dressing) for supper.

No wonder I am spotty with wobbly skin.

Morning Egg, i'm very jealous of your big sleep

We too have a buggy board and Ds1 loves it, i don't know about you but when i'm pushing it i feel like my arse is stuck right out (like i need more attention drawing to it!!)

I am really trying to eat more healthily i have now lost 17lbs but really need to loose another good stone to get back to pre-pregnancy weight

I know there's no rush and everyone says "it took 9 months to make a baby so give yourself 9 months to loose it" but i dont feel comfortable being this size and have allways been a size 10/12 and have nothing nice to wear and i refuse to buy a load of size 14 stuff..right there's my moan for the day over with

Jay how are you feeling today, are you still on knicker watch

And princess you get eating them cream eggs while you can

I have a feeling you two will go at the same time, preferably tomorrow???

Tyaca hope you and baby are settling in ok and all loved up xxx

still here. sounds so positive that you all went into labour so soon after a show, but mine was more than 54 hours ago and nothing...thought it was kicking off last night with some more achey pain then nothing. boring

Princess am i right in thinking that you are now 10 days over...get your daughter in the pushchair get well wrapped up and go for a brisk walk, it worked for me, a few hours later i had Ds2 xxx

Hmm, I have a friend who had a show a whole MONTH before she gave birth . At least that wont happen to either of you tho!

leesmum, I know what you mean about the bum sticking out, have not taken buggy board out of house yet, but can see the position I will need to be in if I don't want to knock DS1 off it as soon as we move.

Does anyone watch Hollyoaks? Does anyone watch Hollyoaks AND have a DC who likes Barnaby Bear on CBeebies? I was horrified / aghast / dumbstruck to see sweet little Becky from Barnaby Bear, who is about 8 years old and such a "nice" girl, all dressed up with goth-style make-up and clothing, planning to shag her boyfriend in a graveyard in Hollyoaks (ok, she is no longer 8 but still seems wrong).

well done tyaca, esther is a lovely name. all the girls are coming now aren't they. come on princess and jaysthird, we are all rooting for you. maybe hurricane helga will get you moving

And if one of you has a girl you HAVE to call her Helga .

Hi all

just popping into say Hi-

DS and DD and i have been shopping today with my mum we had a great time,

bought loads of stuff to make DS his easter bonnet for nursery- was going tobe a bumble bee but ds told me he needs to be Humpty Dumpty! OMG so we are attempting to make humpty dumpty!!! could be interesting!!!(have seen some on ebay so its poss) will put pic on when were done if its not to bad!!!lol

I cannot believe DD is 4 weeks and 3 days old already- where has the time gone, it onlyu seems like yesterday i was on here moaning about still being pregers!!!

Anyway nough about me,

Hope everyone is well, and doing ok-

leesmum i should have gone for a massive walk, you're right. today was the first day that i felt too tired and didn't even go out of the house once. i don't think i could bare to name the baby helga. i have noticed that they advised people not to make unecessary journeys tomorrow night because of the weather, so maybe with sod's law it will happen then.
egg i almost fell off the sofa -1 month . v funny about the girl in hollyoaks.
does anyone know how long a 'show' can go on for? seems to keep going? bit puzzled.

Chin up princess!!! Hopefully you will get a good night sleep and go into labour!!! The end is near now!!!!

evening all. many thanks for all the lovely words of congrats. princess and jaysthird, i am thinking of you and forwarding you the remains of my labour vibes. it will be over v v soon. lol princess @ "unecessary journeys" - home birth??

all ok here. discharged this afternoon. still a bit overwhelmed post-birth and kept in extra night didnt help - no sleep. v good to be back home and with the marvelous mr tyaca.

esther is v small and v ginger (i got my wish mitfordsis!) even tho she almost 7lb, all the nb clothes swamp her and she looks like she's just dressing up and playing at being a real person. will post some pics when i get a mo. got home just now to find that my sis and parents had been round while DH collecting me from hospital. knew they were coming but didnt expect to find immaculate house, clean windows, brand new bed linen, homemade stew in a packed fridge and even a ham (my mum has written out a recipe for DH on how to cook it!)... bless em.

will post pics soon. ty again to jay for annoucing to everyone. look forward to catching up on all news - confess i now have the heart to read about everyone's little ones - it had been fading a bit as i got more and more overdue

princess and jays - thinking of you

Welcome back Tyaca! It was all my pleasure to spread the news of your new addition. Perhaps - if you have time you might want to do it for me?!

Am glad that you are at home now, theres nothing worse than being somewhere where you cant relax or sleep. Try and take some time to adjust to your new baby, and dont forget to take a bit of time for yourself too!

Good on your family for the homewelcoming!

Hope everyone else is ok, Thinking of you princess!

Will catch you all later
