April TTC girls! Where there's a new baby! Tons of BFP's! And lots more to come!

[Cupcake92]

New thread girlies!! :) hope this is okay.

Hope ds is feeling better cupcake

Glad your home lulu and ds is sleeping well in my book!

After one night of making up powder formula I have finally cracked and brought a perfect prep machine with my last pennies haha. Can't wait for it to come it will be amazing!

Thought you might break Ducky , let me know how you find it when I comes. Ours is just sat on the the work top waiting now along with the steriliser.

I like to be prepared so I don't mind that it's a little early (due end of April) but the times been going so quickly!

I bought a microwave steriliser in a sale, but DD had no problems with bf and it's still in it's box on the shelf! Might need it for DS, otherwise it'll be going to the charity shop!

Siarie I've really struggled with ligament pain this time round :(. Although I'm the other way round, it's worse if I don't walk anywhere.

Have been at MILs for three days now and done very little! Getting a bit too used to it - don't know how I'll cope with another 6 weeks back at work

We havebeen using our TT Perfect Prep Ducky, it is great. Really eay.

DS seems very content. He is lying in his baby rocker watching the coloured icicle lights we forgot to take down. No idea if he can see them but he is looking at them and wiggling his fingers. He looks so small.

DH thinks he saw him smile. I have told him he didn't but he says he is a very advanced baby and he definitely did.

Bleeding not too bad, like a heavy but not awful period. I expected worse.

I can't wait for it to arrive but it says up to 4 working days which will be delayed due to new year

Am currently making up a couple in advance, I know they advise not to but midwife said she knows loads of people who do it and they used to advise that, there's no way ds would wait for kettle to cool then bottle to be made and cooled more!

Glad ur home and settled Lulu :) DS seems like a good sleeper!

I've been rushed off my feet today! Supposed to be at my aunties right now for a New Years party but DS is still sick and has had to have an emergency bath! So we are running very late!
I just want to go to bed if I'm honest!

I hope everyone is okay and has a good new year!!!!!!

Poor DS. Well we are doing nowt

Feeds, nappies, cleaning up, sterilising bottles, looking at a sitting room that is full of baby stuff already.

TBH we never do much at NY except spend it at home. We usually cook something nice, watch a DVD, have a couple of drinks and go to bed early and have a bit of a thrash about. We will be doing the same tonight with the thrash about being replaced by feeding DS and changing nappies no doubt. He is a good piddler.

We have two individual bottles of cider so will be going wild with a glass each.

Happy New Year everyone- lots of babies in 2015.

Congratulations Lulu! So happy for you :)

Thanks Purple. I am sooo tired tonight. Have just given DS a bottle and he is asleep looking angelic. Am off to bed now. DH has said he will do the feeds tonight so I can get some sleep.

Happy New Year everyone. Hope it's a good one.

Happy new year everyone!!! :):)

Lulu we are going to stay at home alone next year for Xmas and New Years. It's too much hassle going out and has been so difficult with DS with year. I'm so glad it's all over haha.
and I'm so glad I'm in bed!!!!!! Good night everyone :)

Anyone would think I was the one with the new born!! I've had 2 hours sleep as DS just wouldn't sleep due to his routine being changed and feeling ill :( not going to be happy today :(

Happy new year lets hope it's a good one as 2014 was pretty rough!!!

Cupcake sorry about ds is it just a bug? Poor little man.

Decided I'm going to have to stick with ready made formula until my pp is here, can't cope with this powder!!!

Ducky I'm with u there! 2015 has to be a good one!
And no idea what's up with DS he was only sick once but has been playing up all day and being out last night rele didn't help. He's literally only slept 2 hours..... That was 10pm - 12am!!! So I've literally been awake since 4am yesterday. I'm so desperate for my bed :( DH is at work today as well! Not sure how I'm going to cope today.
Ducky I don't blame u wanting to wait for the prep machine! Formula was hard work! I used to also boil the kettle after I'd made the last bottle so then the next bottle I used the water n it had already cooled down. Then boiled kettle and put in a jug and put bottle in jug to warm up. It was hard work haha.

Happy New Year everyone hope 2015 is good to us all

I slept until.......12.05am. Woke up when DS started crying even though DH had said he would do feeds- except DS didn't want a feed, just a change and a cuddle but his crying woke me up.

He woke three times more between then and 8 am but just had a feed and went back to sleep. I slept through the first two- well sort of but DH did them. I got up to him at 8ish. I am very achey this morning and have lots of wind. I thought that would have stopped.

How the world has changed in 48 hrs

Hope DS is feeling better now Cupcake and he has a sleep.

Happy New Year everyone.

tmi but the wind situation is just your organs settling back into place and you will feel a bit of relief once you birth your first poo I was convinced my organs were going to fall out first time I managed to 'go'

hope ds is ok cupcake early night for you tonight when you manage to get I'm off. I was well known for just going to bed once I'd got my pair off to sleep when they were younger, they don't go to bed til about 8 pm now though DD1 would stay up later but I NEED peaceful time! We won't have much longer before she will be staying up later I don't think.

ducky I had a look at the pp it looks amazing! I didn't have any formula stuff bought first time round as DD1 was 2 wks early so I bf her, she was so good and took to it right away. With dd2 see struggled a bit to get latched but because midwife thought 'oh she's done this before she knows what she is doing' we had a few days of struggle before we got dd2 sorted and feeding - I bf DD1 for 16mths and DD2 for 10mths - my boobs have still not recovered!

Fx for us still waiting on our bfp it has to be our year! Feeling up beat, start as I mean to go on for the year ahead! I'm on cycle 14 day 7!

lulu it's so good that DH is willing to help at night time :) he's such a lovely one! U should should go back to normal soon Lulu, ur body needs to settle back down after child birth :)

Iam we'll all get out BFP's and healthy babies this year :) it has to happen!

Oh and DS managed to eat some hotdogs as that's all I could get him to eat and he's had a big nap finally! From 2 till now! I didn't sleep I just cleaned the house and took down the decorations haha :) going to have a nice hot shower and go to bed early tonight as ive got a long day at work tomorrow :)

I have cried on and off all day today. I suspect it is hormones as it just comes from nowhere and is over nothing. We couldn't go out for a walk because it has been raining, blowing a gale and freezing.

DS has been a little treasure, sitting in his chair and getting cuddles. He slept for 2 hours this afternoon and we just went to bed and had a sleep and a cuddle and I cried- no reason at all.

I am such a miserable thing!

Glad your DS is feeling better Cupcake and he has had some sleep.

DH is editting some photos of DS - I might attach one later. He almost has a name!

Glad ds had a good nap cupcake and hope he is over the worst of it now. I should have taken our decs down today but couldn't be bothered. We have had a real lazy day here. Back to work for me tomorrow too boo.

It's the baby blues lulu I think it happens to everyone a few days after the birth, it certainly happened to me. Don't worry you will feel back to normal soon.

I can't wait for all of us still ttc to get our bfp's. I feel so positive about it all today, back on healthy eating which I hope will help. Although not actively trying this month as dh has a minor op this wk so will have to see how he gets on but I am prepared to wait. It has to happen sooner or later right?

Here he is, taken yesterday, editted today. Little pet lip very evident. Holding my finger. DH is very pleased with himself

In the original he looked a bit red.

I do note I have been editted out apart from my finger. Start of things to come no doubt.

He is beautiful

He is lovely lulu you must be so proud

He is very photogenic. This is his latest. You can see his dark hair here and rosy cheeks.
