Ooh breaking news ......... SWI 1 (good too!)

harassedandherbug · 01/07/2011 08:51

And....another new name! Just trying them for size Grin...

Very glad I don't have to keep swi'ing. Most unusually for me I've gone right off it! Normally when preg I'm a bit of a Martini girl. So now dh is totally convinced it's a boy. It's not btw....and I'm always right.

I was C 2 5king before my bfp too. Seems like a good way to get a bfp Grin. Maybe get a new job? Oh, pay up front for a 6 month gym membership!

Harrassedinherbigpants?

Harrassednolongerinhersexypants - or is that a bit too long??

Fairygodmother1 · 03/07/2011 19:21

I'm running 30 mins 2mins run & 1 min walk. I've not really stuck to that couch thing as I think it progresses too quickly. However, the weight is def coming off. SWI...shamefully only 2!!! Blush have no idea what CD we're on either!!!

On the new job front...2 interviews out of 8 applications & nothing so will be unemployed (unless supply agency want me) from 1st Sept & work is a living hell at the mo!!!

Lou I like the 2nd one!!!

glad we're all back - thought everyone had packed & left for a new park!

Hey ladies - congratulations pants that's very exciting news Grin

I'm 38+3 today and ready to pop - pleeeeeeeeeeeease let me pop soon, pleeeeeeeeeeeease.

Anyway - just wanted you all to know that I'm lurking and thinking of you.

Louja how's your beautiful baby girl getting on?

HalleLouja · 03/07/2011 20:31

Ohhh Bicster getting excited for you. DD is doing well its just me losing my marbles.... She put on over 2 lbs in her first 5 weeks!!

FG keep on running seems like you are doing well. You just need to keep going. I will be joining you when I get more sleep.

Those of you who have LOs can someone remind me that even if you do feed to get them to sleep in the early days they do learn to sleep longer stretches. I think I need my head examined this drove me insane last time as DS is an ok sleeper once he finally sleeps....

UmBongo · 06/07/2011 21:47

Hi all, just been down to the park and back doing week 3 run 1, plus a couple of extra minutes, I have run for a total of 12 minutes Shock Very chuffed with myself I ran for 3 minutes without stopping TWICE!

No more swi to report, so nowt again for me this month. Will try for some more horizontal jogging next month as well as my new found running thing!

UmBongo · 06/07/2011 21:48

Oh, and Lou she will sleep, ds was always feeding himself into oblivion when he was tiny!

HalleLouja · 09/07/2011 09:51

The other night DD slept for nearly 5 hours and I slept most of that time too... I tell you I felt human again. It might not happen again but she is doing 4 hours or there abouts. The only problem is the last two nights she has been on a feeding frenzy for nearly 2 hours but worth it for some sleep! Grin

I think I might start running again soon. I need to get some childcare so I can do it. But my mum comes so could do some then and at the weekend.

PS I am not doing this to win another baby.

PPS We need some more white lightening round here.

Fairygodmother1 · 10/07/2011 19:36

Hey all,

running going well, only two weeks left at my job, & my hospital date has been put back by a month so almost 4 years since we started trying by then. Am not happy!!! Who do you even contact about this? Do they even care???

OP posts:
HalleLouja · 10/07/2011 20:00

Try PALS they are the people to contact about hospital complaints. Each hospital should have one.

Fairygodmother1 · 10/07/2011 21:05

Thanks Lou! xxx

UmBongo · 11/07/2011 21:09

Sorry to hear about your postponement FairyG Good luck with having a moan at someone!

Got some more white lightening Lou - I picked it up on my run - wk 3 run 3 and managed 4 minutes instead of the prescribed 3 so feel brave enough to look and see what I am supposed to be running in wk 4 - I have a feeling it is 5 minutes ShockHmm

Fairygodmother1 · 11/07/2011 21:39

Thanks Umb. Go you! I'm doing my own run plan as I felt it moved on too quickly, I wanted to build up steady. I'm now running a total of 30 mins with 3min runs & 1 min walks. Thats a killer. Am hoiping that next week I'll increase to 40 mins with 4 min runs!II live in such a hilly place that it's like some sort of croiss country event!

SWI has goine awol so maybe I'll get 20/20 out for the pit party! Think I'm due on the next coiuple of days! [hsad]

harassedandherbug · 12/07/2011 10:30

All this talk of running is making me feel incredibly lazy Grin, but I've had a couple of spd twinges so I'm being very careful. A bit crap this early on!!!

Biccie!!!! How did you get so far along??!! July babies rock, I have two...... on the same day Grin.

FG sorry that they've postponed, I think you should def complain.

Lou they do learn to sleep, eventually. Sounds like you're getting the 6 week growth spurt cluster feeding . I'd start trying not to feed to sleep, or waking dd a little just so that she's slightly awake when you put her down. Disclaimer: good at advice, crap at following it. Fed all 3 of mine to sleep, brought them in my bed etc etc.. Grin.

HalleLouja · 12/07/2011 15:55

Pants your disclaimer made me smile. There I was thinking you are far more patient with these things than me... I am going to persevere with the dummy and hope she finds her fingers to suck. Ds did dummy then quite late on found his fingers and sleep at night was less of an issue. She has slept for 5 hours a couple of times so must be self settling to stay asleep that long, she says hopefully...

Spd ouch. Not nice I hope it stays mild.

harassedandherbug · 12/07/2011 16:18

Patient in that I can deal with tantrums, watch the same dvd a million times - yes. Cope with no sleep?? Hell no!

Have added a photo of dd's finger sucking Ali G style. Was very funny!

UmBongo · 15/07/2011 21:55

Run 2 week 4, total of 16 minutes (2x3 + 2x5) done! Even in the drizzle this evening! Thats what happens if you put off going out for too long, it rains!

Happy Friday everyone! CD1 here so am hopping down t'pit with me cider. You got that 20/20 yet FG?

Fairygodmother1 · 16/07/2011 16:03

20/20 not needed yet!!! Boobs hurt so I'll prob be about 5 days days behind you! Not enough SWI!!!!

Had to extend my route again as I'm getting faster so 4 mins over 40 mins next week. When I get to running 60 mins I'll extend how long each stretch is so I should end up running the whole 60 mins!

permatannedpumpkin · 19/07/2011 19:16

I'm tired just reading about you guys running, all very impressive. I walk a lot, everywhere in fact but must get back and go to teh gym - at least to swim. This time at school is just so busy - can't wait til Friday!

How are you all, any plans for the summer?

HalleLouja · 20/07/2011 20:35

Just saying hi chavs

harassedandherbug · 21/07/2011 10:00

Hello!!!

Lou I think they're too busy running Wink.

Dh did 6 miles last night, I think he's done my share so I'll put my swollen ankles up and eat another pork pie Grin.

Why can I not have healthy cravings?? So far: Ginsters peppered steak slices, chocolate milkshake, cheesy doritos, full fat coke and now pork pies......

permatannedpumpkin · 23/07/2011 17:32

Don't think I've had any cravings yet, how boring of me! I did fancy a lager shandy the other day - made do with the lemonade, not sure if that counts - very chavvy though I guess so a plus there :)

Hi Lou x

In other news... it's the summer holidays - YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

:)

Fairygodmother1 · 23/07/2011 20:38

Hi ya chavs!!!
