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

Lill I have my doctors appt on Tuesday so hoping he refers me straight for physio. And I am using a pillow between the knees but it's a very flat pillow as its old and my only spare so isn't doing much good lol

Lulu that's great :) it'll be nice for u to have the year off with DS. If u get him into nursery near the end, maybe 2 months before he'll be very settled by the time u go back to work and ull also be able to have those couple of months having some u time :) Lulu yes I did have this with DS but I had it a lot later on, but it was extremely bad with DS as I didn't have physio or anything and ended up not being able to walk or lie down, I slept sat upright on the sofa for the whole of my last month of pregnancy. I don't want to be like that again this time.

Ducky bless him! They will do a lot of gagging whilst weaning! It's so scary isn't it! I hated DS doing it as I panicked lol.
And I've not even been referred yet, its taken 2 weeks for a doctors appt ! u have to wait so long just to get in these days. I'm hoping I don't have to wait long for physio !

I hope you get to see a physio soon cupcake! I have heard SPD starts earlier and gets worse with each pregnancy That and the morning sickness reeeeally put me off having another baby
My SPD got loads better towards the end of my pregnancy... No idea why

Actually come to think of it I'd been sitting on my birth ball lots! And having a little stroll every day... That's the only thing I can think of that could have helped it.

Lill I would love to eventually have another :) 3 children sound nice. When these 2 are at school and I've married someone wonderful then have one more! :) the only thing that puts me off pregnancy or that would put me off is if I had another csection.
I'll have to get my birth ball out the attic for later in my pregnancy :p

I loved my birth ball!! really it's just a cheap exercise ball

Cupcake that sounds like a good plan you have!!

Great plan Cupcake, and I'm 100% sure it will happen for you
Ducky, the milk has just arrived! Thank you soooo much!! I'm going out for a friend's birthday tomorrow night so will express some breast milk and DP can also give DS a couple of bottles of the formula so I won't have to worry about rushing home

Great hope it works! And have a nice time!

So we've had an exciting week! We viewed a house on Saturday which we both fell in love with, and put in an offer. However, we could only afford 95% of the asking price so it was rejected :(. It has kicked us into gear though and we now have a mortgage in principle form and know exactly how much we can borrow. I'm just off to see another house now, with DS in tow! We need to move this year to ensure we can register DD at school so the pressure is on.

In other news, DS is trying to crawl! He is 12 weeks . It won't be long before he is mobile enough to cause trouble!

Bears when did u potty train DD if u don't mind me asking?
I hope u find a nice house Bears! :) and wow DS is eager bless him! :D

Ducky I think mines a yoga ball or something haha! McDonald's Argos only a cheap one but it did the trick :p and i remember it being the most comfiest seat in the house to sit on!

Have a nice time out tomorrow Lill! :) be nice to get out on ur own I bet.

Went to town today with DS and had my eyes tested! They have gotten worse and I picked some new glasses which I collect next week :) I rele like them! Tho it's shocking how much glasses cost!
But my pelvis hurt so bad after I'd walked around for 4 hours in town. And it hurt to walk up the stairs lol

I hope you found a house you liked Bears! Are you moving far?
Cupcake, I need my eyes testing - I'm sure I need glasses, I'm always squinting to try and see
Up with DS again! I hope he lets me sleep soon...

Hi lil! Up here too! Not moving far hopefully, just we currently rent and are now finally in a position to buy!

cupcake DD is still not potty trained . We are trying at the moment but she just doesn't seem interested. She has used her potty twice, knows what it's for etc, but just wants her nappy on. We are going on holiday in 2 weeks, when we get back I will hAve to crack it!

Lill I'm the same I squint all the time! I only had them done because of my headache but they said my eyes were really healthy so not the cause of my headaches but said wearing the glasses could help as it could be me squinting causing them. Or they said it's just a pregnancy thing haha

Bears I'm so glad u said that!! I'm in no rush at all to potty train DS. He's 2 in August. I'd happily wait till he's 3 and he's knows exactly what to do so it makes it easier for me but I have 2 friends their children are YOUNGER than DS!!! And have already started potty training! They have been pressurising me to do it now with DS as apparently he's old enough to understand! One said her DD had constant accidents for a whole week but now apparently gets 'if u don't wee on a potty u get soaked' they aren't even 2 years old for god sake! I don't know how anyone else feels about this? I think this is just cruel to the child, let them be babies a bit longer :(
There's no way I'm forcing DS to potty train until I know he's 100% ready.

Got another two hours sleep in then DS woke me up making noises in his sleep!! I hope you got back to sleep too Bears!

I totally agree Cupcake, I don't see the point in potty training until you can have a basic conversation about it and the child can tell you when he or she needs to go! I have a nephew who's 2 and a half and he's still in nappies. I don't see the rush. It's easier to change a nappy than a whole outfit if the little one has an accident!

I think the infacol has been giving DS a poorly tummy His nappies have been really unpleasant since he's been taking it. I'm going to go to the chemist today and see if they can recommend anything else.

What did you think of the house yesterday Bears?

Ducky, how did DS's weaning go yesterday?

I have no idea at what age you should usually start potty training I guess is when they can actually tell you they need to go.

Cupcake I had to get new glasses recently.... Bloody rip off

Lil, I hope he gets a bit more into it soon! He had weetabix this morning but he prefers sweet things! Can you try gripe water for ds? My ds hated gripe water with a passion but some of them like it

Oh and I forgot to say, ds can now sit up he likes to sit up on his changing mat and stare at the tv

I've also heard with potty training it's much quicker if you do it when they decide themselves. We are emphasising how big girls use potties or toilets so she'll want to do it herself.

Ah, the joys of weaning! I think I've blocked out those memories!

Lill Ducky mentioned gripe water that's a good one to try. I'm not sure if there's anything else out there

Aw bless him Ducky! He's growing up so fast :) it's crazy, I can remember u waiting to know when u were going to be induced lol.

See potty training I'd like DS to be able to say he needs the potty. Otherwise how am I menna know? My friends are rele pressurising me to do it now tho and keep saying there's no way I will be able to potty train DS when I've got another child around and that if I don't do it now he'll end up in nappies till he's 4. It's hard enough being pregnant and looking after a toddler let alone potty training at the same time

I had a look at lots of baby clothes today! :) going back on pay day to buy it all! I can't wait! :)

There's infacol, colief, dentinox colic drops and gripe water but I think that's it (when ds was bad with his cmpi I tried everything!)

Yea I have no idea how you would know if they can't tell you! Don't let your friends pressure you cupcake, you've obviously done a fab job of raising ds so far so just trust your instincts

Oh gosh Ducky I didn't realise there was that much I'm deffo getting some infacol In before baby is here. Was a life saver with DS.
Aw thank u Ducky :) yeah I'm deffo gonna wait till I think he's deffo ready.

Can't believe I'm 17 weeks pregnant already, seems to be going fast!

DH has just come back from the pub. He didn't go along there until 9 oclock. He has had two pints and he is all romantic and after a couple of kisses announced we are going to bed and having wild sex.

He's gone to the loo and I have heard him go along to our bedroom. Bet you he lies down on the bed and falls fast asleep! Two pints!

I am watching Elizabeth 1 on tv. It's good. I must have missed it when it was first shown. I think I'll stay down here with Jeremy Irons.

Oh Lulu that made me laugh did he drop to sleep?

Worst night I've had last night. The pillow in my legs isn't doing much to help anymore :( my hips/pelvis were so painful! And every time I rolled over the bottom of my back clicked! Eugh I can tell this is going to kill me off when I'm about 30 weeks pregnant lol it deffo feels exactly like how I was when pg with DS.

Haha lulu was he asleep? Have you decided what your plans are with having another?

Cupcake that has gone fast! I remember those days of the bad sleeping because of the pain not nice! I thought the other day I haven't had a full nights sleep since about august last year! Crazy!

Oh gosh Ducky! That's a long time without a decent nights sleep! I have this all to come again

Cupcake, I just remembered seeing a bump support belt for SPD... Worth a look? And maybe one of those full body pregnancy pillows? I had one in hospital and it helped a lot. I can't believe you're 17 wks already! Nearly halfway there
Ducky I didn't get anything else for DS's wind yet, he had really nasty diahrea (sp??) yesterday morning so I decided to give him a week or so without anything extra in his diet and see if that helps.
Having said that, he had a couple of bottles of the Nutramigen last night as I was out for a friend's birthday and when I came back I couldn't bf as I'd had a couple of cocktails and a beer! He was fine with the formula but I tested the temperature by putting some on my hand and licked it off and my god it tastes terrible!! I'm guessing babies don't have a very developed sense of taste?
Now I'm sitting here with the electric breast pump as my bbs got sooo uncomfortably full and DS isn't hungry enough to empty them
