Puddle jumping is a MOST LOVED past time here as well. Like little splashes of sunshine in the gray...... someone go ahead and slap me for my blissfulness.

TwilightSurfer · 09/08/2008 17:37

okay i'm heading back out for another walk......

OP posts:
oopsacoconut · 09/08/2008 17:44

TS would you like some puddles to go with your walk?? You can have some of ours.

sazzles How was your walk? Just been up and down the canal path in the rain - it was fun but now wet and need to amke a curry (from scratch) for IL's who just announced they would rather eat curry than bbq (not that i was asking them to stand in the rain whilst it cooked??)

Okay so we've had a bit of a 2 day boom who's next - Sarah, TS anyone???

Sibh · 09/08/2008 18:25

Congrats to BabiesEverywhere, Pertolete and PetitFilou.

There are puddles everywhere here too ... DD is supercute in her new red wellies with white spots (Lidl's finest )

AnnVan · 09/08/2008 18:29

Baby is now hyperactive and thumping everywhere!

Oh Sazzles how I wish - why can't they just offer to bring dinner??? or to go out - they drive past 4 curryhouses on their way here and we live in pub country so there is always somewhere to eat. But apparently I would be too tired to eat out but not too tired to cook for them. how does that work? What are you having from the curry house? We are having Cape Malay Curry, pilau rice and bombay potato, papadums then a very Indian destert of ...... Eton Mess!

TS can I come visit? want some sunshine, cool breezes, and a restaurant by the water.

Aah -- I meant Poppy not Petitfilou.
My brain has gone to jelly.
Sorry for the confusion caused

dizzydixies · 09/08/2008 19:16

I give up have come down to try to catch up with everyone and Dylan has woken up - I think she has a pressure pad on the laptop

needless to say I now have 2 naked girls (naked dancing before bed - don't ask) a half eaten tea and an angry baby who will want fed again even though its only been a couple of hours - meep - my boobs will never forgive me at this rate

anyway, huge congrats to all the new babies - loving the names

and not meaning to brag but I've seen photos of Emily Alice and she is a wee corker

dizzydixies · 09/08/2008 19:17

and when is the fecking rain going to fecking stop - I have cabin fever from hibernating in the bedroom trying to sort my feeding and the kids are about climing the walls too - fecking british summer

Due Aug 08 summer reunion 09 at TS house - anyone with me

alittlebitshy · 09/08/2008 19:42

how is feeding dizzy?
and every 2 hours - Henry has been every hour for half the afternoon

dizzydixies · 09/08/2008 19:47

ALBS it is draining absolutely exhausting, I feel as if I have nothing left at all and everytime she wakens up she needs fed instantly or all hell breaks loose and by the time she gets latched on its like slamming my nipples shut in a garage door have just posted in b/f section in hope someone has some great advice

am also horribly short tempered with the girls during what very little time am spending with them and just about pulling back when getting a cuddle incase the bash my nipple or stomach by accident

dizzydixies · 09/08/2008 19:47

god sorry - was determined not to come on here and be a whinging mare

FoghornLeghorn · 09/08/2008 19:57

I'm defo up for a reunion at TS's next year ... book me up !

Dizzy Sorry your finding the feeding hard ... I'm going to try bf for the first time this time and am getting increasingly nervous about it.

Sarah I sooooo cannot wait for this baby to come .... I'm trying not to focus on Monday but on 21st instead as that is when I would be incuded if baby doesn't put in an appearance before then but it's so hard, Monday is the day we've been working toward for 9 months !

Ooops Try and enjoy your curry at being too tired to go out ... silly PILs

alittlebitshy · 09/08/2008 19:59

I think I'm exactly with you dizzy. I'm not spending anywhere near enough time with my beautiful gorgeous lovely dd and am spending my time exhausted, drained, being sucked away at by a hoover. Just spent 20 mins sobbing on dh. I can't remember when any of it gets easier, or can't tell if this is just me in a mess and not normal at all

oh no - i meant to not come on and whinge either (though you'e not dizzy, its me being pathetic)

LadyOfWaffle · 09/08/2008 20:00

ALBS {{hugs}} Can you pump at all at give baby to DH for a little while? I remember so well how tiresome the early days can be, never mind already having a child.

dizzydixies · 09/08/2008 20:00

foggy ask ask ask and keep asking the whole time you're in the hospital, its the best way I promise

please don't be disheartened by my whinging, I fed dd1 with NO problems at all, none in the slightest - am just paranoid that I'm doing something wrong where as it all boils down to each baby being different

when you get it right its great but getting the right support really helps

DD - just read your other thread (briefly) - I found pumping great (DS wouldn't latch for a week so had to) - you can control the suction and give your nipples maybe abit of a rest? ALso if your low on iron, try Spatone (it's a liquid you put in orange juice (or water)) - Our tescos stocks it and it's very easy to take and so much better than the tablets the GPs will maybe give you (which turned my poo green!). It absorbs alot better too x

cyteen · 09/08/2008 21:18

Much hugging to dizzy and albs, avoiding the nipular and abdomen areas of course.

Can I just share with you some facts about my angelic DP? Today, completely unbidden, he has:

  • made dinner

  • rubbed my feet

  • brought me drinks and cookies on tap

  • run me a huge indulgent luxury bath

  • promised to rub my back later on this evening.

What have I done to deserve this! Give him a cheer if you have a spare moment of energy, he's really looking after me

TwilightSurfer · 09/08/2008 21:27

Just popping in for two seconds....

No more babies??? Oh Well.

Labouring nicely here again. Baby getting lower and lower. Won't be surprised if she appears overnight. But not holding my breath either.

Dizzy {{{HUGS}}}

Just let me know when everyone is coming so I can mop the floor. Airport code is CHA. Loads of cool things to do and see in Chattanooga!!!!!

OP posts:
oopsacoconut · 09/08/2008 22:10

Well the PIL's have now left and I can finally put my feet up - DH being a darling and cleaning up after dinner.

DIZZY and ALBS {{{{HUGS}}}} but I do have to thank you it gives a first timer like me a honest idea of what it is going to be like - none of the wonderful blissful ignorance the bf lady at nct gave the impression it was and I would rather have the truth so I can prepare myself thank you.
