Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
Buckets · 19/08/2008 13:36

Oh here's arant, sorry...

I've been miserable today too, poor DH doesn't know what to say, I bite his head off whatever. I showed him an NCT article about supporting your BFing DP as he was getting upset with me moaning about BFing, and he's been great since. But last night I accidentally said out loud that I hated it and he went back to saying I shouldn't make life swo difficult for myself etc. Felt so heartsick this morning as I really am hating it but I know I'd regret it if I didn't give it my all. So I went to BF clinic and DS fed for about 5mins and went back to sleep.

VG Visitors!? I've had none but family and one friend (sans kids), it's the pressure of it! DH's idiot ex-colleague (the one I sent away) keeps leaving messages to go out for a drink with him, I've been deleting them before DH even hears! DH has also cancelled his nice lady colleagues who wanted to visit this week because I've been so up and down. And I absolutely won't let him bring his grandparents over, his grandma is the generation that would be silently appalled at the state of our house, plus the panic that feeding Kurt fills me with of course.
DH is fab but just taking ages to get his head around the short term inconveniences of BFing, wants to take Kurt out and show him off. I keep telling him it will be fab for all of us in the longterm. Guess I don't look/sound too convincing when I'm crying my eyes out about it.

Buckets hugs I think men find the whole bf thing quite hard to deal with. I think it can feel as though they are being exlcluded from the relationship between you and your lo. They don't like to see you unhappy when it doesn't work and can do very little to help you to get it to work (except be supportive). Men are very solutions oriented imo! and not brilliant at the empathy side of things so that is hard for them too. Thirdly, I think some men find it hard to see what were 'their boobs' being taken over for another purpose so secretly I think a lot of blokes are quite glad when/if you give up! Keep going, you are doing really well and give your dh a hug and tell him you love him really. So ends pf's counselling session!

PetitFilou1 · 19/08/2008 13:59

sazzles Awwww Emma is so sweet and Lucie is very pretty too!

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 19/08/2008 14:18

Beautiful babies Sazzles

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 19/08/2008 14:21

Feeling very strange today, after all those bh yesterday. Think baby may have dropped down further.

As I have like a soft spot under my boobs in middle which I am sure was hard and higher up yesterday. IYKWIM Have very strange sensations and aches in groin area too. Starting to really want to waddle when I walk.

PetitFilou1 · 19/08/2008 14:28

no1 I've been waddling for a while! But ds2 refuses to go down any further (think that is not unusual though, I'm lucky he's engaged at all)

TwilightSurfer · 19/08/2008 14:50

Yay TS and babysurfer!
Congratulations. I guess she was just holding out to share her birthday with my DP

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 19/08/2008 15:17

wow congratulations TS and family. Hope all is well

PetitFilou1 · 19/08/2008 15:18

Hooray for TS and Reese! Phew!

Mr Twilight thinks 8lb 9oz is big - clearly he is not au fait with the ladies of the MN Aug thread and their offspring!

miamla · 19/08/2008 15:21

woo hoo congratulations to TS, Mr Surfer, Miss Surfer and new little baby surfer!

cyteen · 19/08/2008 15:23

pf shutupshutupshutup I am not having a big baby

PetitFilou1 · 19/08/2008 15:29

hehe oh yes you are cyteen - this is the 'healthy size' baby thread

sarahnh · 19/08/2008 15:30

way to go TS and congtrats Mr TS xxxx

cyteen · 19/08/2008 15:31

I've decided I'm having a concentrate baby, one of those ones that swells to full size when you drip water on them. And he will let himself out of my womb while I'm asleep, AND clean and dress himself ready for me to find when I wake up in the morning

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 19/08/2008 15:34

i have been warned mine feels could be another big one.
dd was 91b 30z

VintageGardenia · 19/08/2008 15:36

Welcome Reese! Hope you are feeling well TS and all the delights of your birthing centre are as you anticipated. Thinking of you x.

Re. visitors, I know, I know, but it just seemed impossible to stop people coming. One day there were ten people! In succession, not at the same time, but still. AND I had a temperature of 101.5 that evening! (Poor me, sob sob.)

I feel a bit better today, though still as if seeing the world through a veil. Brought both DSs to the library and got a few things out. Feel fine driving now, though even a little outing like that wipes me out! Idea of 4 DCs at Chester Zoo would have me back in hospital!

sarahnh · 19/08/2008 15:38

got a couple of pics on profile now.. totally exhausted today but my dad has finally gone home.. yeah!!!!

Hope all those waiting to pop are doing ok and hugs to buckets xxxx

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 19/08/2008 15:39

VG that is an awful lot of visitors so early on never mind the same day. Poor you.

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 19/08/2008 15:40

Sarahnh Beautiful dd's.
