Congrats to all those who have had babies since i last logged on..xxxx

alittlebitshy · 18/08/2008 12:44

ds having sleepy day today

grabbing lunch before he wakes up

starving always (me and him )

bealcain · 18/08/2008 12:44

sazzles don't firget that a baby is by far more efficient than you at getting milk out, just coz you can't express it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

on the boob note, i had to put my nursing bra in the wash yesterday after leaking so much from my left, so went to bed with no bra or pads....big mistake went through three tops in 2hours....and she doesn't even like that side, so god knows where all this milk is from, think i;ll give the milk bank a call see if they want any!

alittlebitshy · 18/08/2008 12:46

sazz my left nipple is odd shaped. seems there's a theme.
am going to buy tommee tippee bottles today = a friend suggested them last night actually for same reason as you.

sarah argh at your dad

alittlebitshy · 18/08/2008 12:48

bealcain - see another one with a side baby isn't keen on. i feel normal!!!!

PetitFilou1 · 18/08/2008 12:54

My sister used those bottles - the teats are much more boob shaped aren't they. Off for a nap as keep bursting into tears for no reason (especially when dh rings and asks how I am) TS Keep on in there

bealcain · 18/08/2008 12:55

albs with ds2 i ended up just feeding on one side from 8weeks as i really couldn't get him to latch properly on one side, it was more hassle than it was worth. it does mean i have one boob bigger than the other but hey when i get boob job you'll never tell!!

Nezzi · 18/08/2008 13:09

Hello all
I'm new here and this is my 1st post. I've been lurking for a little while but this thread moves so quickly that I don't think I'll be able to keep up. I'm a little late to join but I hope that's ok? I'm pregnant with 1st baby (sex unknown) due on 28th August. Maybe I should join the Sept club too??

Thank you No1 & especially TS!
I can't believe you're doing this whilst you're in labour I'm having a hard enough time trying to do it around my lunch!
Keep up the good work & I hope you get your epidural soon!

Just popped in while chipolata (love it Sazzles!) finally agrees to a little kip. Welcome Nezzi, all the new babes, and TS, I'm so excited it's all happening for you (possibly as I type!!). I am also stunned with your capabilities. I'm not as together as you, even on a good day, let alone when IN LABOUR!!

poppysocks · 18/08/2008 14:48

How exciting..!!! Good luck TS. Will HAVE to make a special effort to log on later to see how you're getting on.

Just a quick post (as much as ever with me...) as my Mum's here now so getting lots of help and company. We've had a good chat about the name thing and I think it's just now that I wish we'd gone for Alice, rather than feeling any more odd than you normally do on giving a name to a small, new person. Know though that Emily is the right name for DD2 though as DH loves it and will hopefully be permanently grateful for me for allowing it .

Poor you on that expressing as well as feeding Sazzles. I'm finding it hard enough to just keep up on the feeding, although it seems to have tailed off a bit today. 40-60 min feeds have turned into 15-30. Is that normal? Hoping it's maybe that my milk is better now/she's better at getting at it, rather than just that she can't be bothered to sleep now and will just want to feed all night. Poor you gigglegirl. How on earth are you managing to function with 3 other LOs?!

TwilightSurfer · 18/08/2008 15:33

Just popping in to say
I have my epidural now.

DH is taking pictures of me typing....he still thinks it's funny. I just like having something to take my mind off these transition shakes. They are fading slowly.

Might have the baby in the next 45 minutes or so. Just as long as it's before lunch because I'm starving. Will be ordering japanese...filet mignon, steamed rice and veggies. YUMMM!! All the BF chatter makes me that all your LOs are getting food and I'M NOT!!

It is so wonderful to look over at the monitor and see a massive contraction AND NOT FEEL A THING. Drugs are amazing.

Will sign off now to rest up for the big PUSH.

CaptainCaveman · 18/08/2008 16:14

Had ds2 weighed today - he is now 7lb 9oz so has put on 12oz in 5 days . What a good lad . First day on our own today as dh went back to work. Not too bad really, had a friend over for lunch then we wandered down to the park at the end of our road for 45 mins.

Welcome nezzi how lovely to have you join us. Congrats on your pg btw Where abouts do you live?
