April 2013 TTC girls, where we ALL get our babies!

[Ducky23]

We quickly ran out of room on the old thread so here's a shiny new one

Omg I really want a steak. A nice thick steak that's lovey and pink with a Diane sauce mmmmm. Oooo or garlic mushrooms on top!
:( pregnancy cravings u can't have are awful!! And being so hungry all the time is awful too haha

Aww swimming is good exercise, babies seem to love it don't they. I look awful in a swimming costume, I still have a pouch from my csection lol!!

Omg I really want a steak now too cupcake!!! At 6.30am!

I am so tired I don't know why but ds keeps waking at 5am since this growth spurt. I have been going to bed later as I have been trying to get in an extra feed before bed but it doesn't seem to work. I went to bed at 11.30 last night, up at 2 to feed him then up again at 5. He's not hungry when he wakes up, I think he's just bored.

I miss pink steak Ducky so much! Not the same when u have to have it wel done

DS was like that Ducky :/ he still is some nights. But if he wakes in the night it's usually because he's had a nightmare and needs a cuddle. But he went from sleeping all through the night to waking up 1-2 times a night for no reason. Was so annoying. Ur DS will go back to sleeping through again soon :)

I'm so ill today. I went to bed with a headache and I've woken up with a migraine. Every time I move my head it hurts and I just want to go back to bed and close my eyes under the duvet! But being a parent doesn't allow u to be ill tho DS is being very good atm and sitting quietly.

I have my steak well done anyway cupcake

It's just worrying me as the amount of threads on here that talk about babies his age going 7-7.

I think il add some puréed stuff in for dinner too, see if that helps. But I didn't really want to do that yet without talking to the dietitian. We should of had his appt by now but they lost his referral whenever anyone asks me how much he eats everyone sounds shocked

Lying here with DD on my chest, need to get up soon as the cleaner is coming this morning.

Starting to get used to the broken sleep now. cupcake I had a lot of migraines during pregnancy, they really sucked. I'd say lie in a dark room but not really practical with your DS to look after.

Last night DD wanted feeding at midnight, 3am, 4:30am, 6am I'm looking forward to when she sleeps through a bit longer!

DH was sharing the feeds but you both wake up when they cry.

I'd like to take DS swimming but I think the only bAby swimming class near here is puddleducks and it's just too expensive! I'll have to wait until 6 weeks since my section too.
I got some brilliant tummy control pants from jojo maman bebe - they're incredible! I wore a really tight top yesterday and you'd never have guessed I'd just had a baby

DS's rash has nearly cleared up now. And he slept for 5 hours straight last night!!!
Here he is looking concerned about something
I met up with my friend whose baby was born the day after DS and the difference was incredible! Her DS was 7lb something so not small but next to DS he looked tiny

Lil I'm sending DH on the swimming lesson mission. But I doubt we will do it until she's had her jabs.

DD was 8lb 4oz when born and she seemed big, she was straight into up to 1 month (9lbs) clothes. Very little of the newborn stuff fit unless it was up to 9lbs too.

frantically searches for pants like lil's

How high do they come up lil? How much!? I need to know about these magic pants!

We just took DD to lessons in the council pool - it was £1.20 a lesson! Quite often fully booked though.

DS wakes up about 1, 3 and 5 at the moment - the longest unbroken sleep seems to be from
~9 to ~1am so it's early nights for me. DD didn't sleep through till she was 2!

also googling magic pants

Those are the pants. I've also got a couple of tummy control tops:

I'm only a size 10/12 on top but couldn't fit into the medium top yet so got a large. I think I'll be able to get into the medium when my tum and boobs have gone down a bit but because it's so tight it's difficult to get it over your head. Well worth the struggle though
Can't remember what size pants I got though, I'll check in a bit and let you know

I could be tempted by those pants. I am still flabby even though I have lost a lot of weight.

DH could not care a jot about it. He tells me he loves every inch of me but I am bothered. Mind you he is no skinny minny. He's tall and big built but not fat. He has got a bit of a belly mind but it's not flabby. He's got lovely legs and chest and bum. Could lose a stone. But I like him as he is. I find small slim men really unattractive. He isn't self-conscious at all about his body.

Ds has not slept at all since he woke up this morning. Not for a minute and he is fighting off falling asleep at the minute. DH has taken him out for a walk to see if he can push him to sleep. I am lying on the settee watching David Cameron and wanting to smack him one. Grr!

Oh no lulu! How is his sleeping at night now? Have you gone to any of the baby groups?

Beautiful pic of DS Lill and I'm so getting some of those pants for after this baby!!

Lulu I would love to smack David Cameron too!!!

I've been feeling ill all day with this migraine, it's turned into a dull headache now and I am desperate to go to bed but DS is still awake and full of beans and won't sleep. :(
He knows when to pic his days lol!

Ducky, he is a good sleeper most night- goes through from 10 or 11 until 6.30/7ish.
We occasionally go to a baby group in the village, but I am not keen. It is too Yummy Mummy. I can't be doing with the competition to be the most perfect mummy and have the most perfect baby when clearly DS is the cleverest and most beautiful
DS is now fast asleep. He had his feed when he came back from the walk. He was very sleepy but still managed to scoff it all. Hopefully that is him until 7 am.
Lill, your DS is such a cutie. I love his hair and his big eyes.
Hope you get some sleep and your headache goes Cupcake. Nick Clegg took a hammering on that programme.

Lulu sleep seems to be non existent tonight. As u may be able to tell as I'm posting this at 3:30am
He's been up and down all night and I'm so so exhausted. Maybe he's preparing me for DC's arrival in October?
I have to be up early and ready to take the kids to school in the morning as well so unfortunately even if he stays asleep I need to get him up!
I don't have work so naps all day seems like a good idea to me

Hope you managed to get some sleep cupcake. Ds woke up at 4. I could actually cry I'm so tired.

Looks like it was a sleepless night then!

DS woke just after 2 and was awake almost an hour and has been awake since half 4. He is so tired. DH went into the spare room and I have been with DS but he kept him awake anyway. He has gone to work looking so exhausted.

I am going to take DS out and try and get him to sleep. Babies!

Hope you get some sleep Duckey and Cupcake.

No I've not had any sleep :( getting everyone ready for school now and I've already had 2 cups of coffee so not allowed any more these pregnancy limits aye! Ducky I feel like u, I could cry I'm so so tired and I know I probably won't get to sleep till tonight :(

Gosh Lulu u as well! Maybe our DC's have been communicating and all decided to have an all nighter hope DS goes to sleep for u!

Morning everyone,

I'm also tired, DD still isn't in a proper routine now so she wakes a lot. Currently asleep on me! Which is annoying as I might as well get up af do things. Cleaner cancelled on me yesterday and rescheduled today, I've got a bunch more viewings happenings so need to be up and have the place looking presentable.

Knackered!

They must be! Maybe there's a babynet! I didn't sleep either he went to bed at around 10.30, woke up at 1 for his dummy, woke up at 3 for feeding, then woke up at 4 he used to sleep so well aswell. It's since this sleep regression thing

I won't sleep either. I don't know what it is but I just can't sleep in the day time!

I feel for you cupcake, I was exhausted when pregnant anyway, even when I had a full nights sleep, couldn't imagine having broken sleep then up early

On the plus side I've lost another 2lbs in two days. Going to hit my lowest weight since school days soon!

I think it's the thyroid meds I'm taking, the doctors haven't reduced the amount much and I think I'm taking too much (which continently makes you lose weight). Have to wait six weeks before I get another blood test. But not complaining fastest weight loss since the first trimester is all good with me.

ducky that sucks, that's pretty much like a newborn schedule. When did your DS start sleeping longer before?

DD is three weeks and one day today, she doesn't seem to be sleeping longer yet!
