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

Hope everyone is okay and has had a good day! :)

I'm exhausted! Built DS's new toddler bed! He's growing up so fast! :( it's his "big boy bed" he absolutely loves it! Got the cot set up also on the other side of the room as him and his brother will have to share for a bit :) it seems so strange that the cot it sat all set up but a different baby is going in it and not DS1! Lol! Got lots of DS's baby clothes out as well and there's tons! Even with labels on! :) very happy with that! Can't wait for my bed now !

He's a sweetheart Tori Did you get breastfeeding established easily? How's he sleeping at night?
Cupcake that must be odd putting DS1 in a big boy's bed! How exciting getting the room ready for DS2

That's good And he must be getting plenty if he's going so long between feeds!
DS has been cluster feeding this evening.

That's a lovely picture Tori- he just looks very full and flat out. I like his sleep suit.

We took DS down to the nature reserve today where there are moulting seals. He was fascinated but wanted to get closer which we couldn't do as they were on the rocks at the back of the lighthouse. He screamed and we had to leave as they were looking a bit wary and like they might jump into the water and other people were watching them.

Then he had a bit of icecream which shut him up He has been a little love this afternoon. He has spinach and potato puree for his lunch and loved it after a few funny faces at the beginning, followed by pear and apple mixed with baby rice. He played on this mat with some toys for ages and DH entertained him.

DH is at work tomorrow and is fast asleep. I am wide awake. It is pouring outside and there is no moon tonight.

Cupcake is it one of them fun looking beds?

Tori, glad it's all going well will go look at the pics in a bit!

How are you doing now lil?

Lulu bet he liked the ice cream! Ds had dairy free yoghurt the other day and loved it! He tried baked not naked like my phone keeps trying to put beans and some peas yesterday.

Have changed him to 6 month milk now, I do have some more tins of his other one left but I'm hoping this makes him sleep better. Have been up since 4am he also doesn't seem to want to drop his night feed any time soon! I will also offer him dinner tonight too to see if that helps. He does love his food. Were just about to have weetabix

Don't think changing the milk is going to help.... So far today he's had 3 6 oz bottles, half a weetabix (with another 2oz of milk) and some toast .

What a hungry boy Ducky! He might be going through a growth spurt?

He's always been a big eater lil! I just thought it would calm down a bit!

Since then he's drained a 7oz bottle and had some beans, cottage pie purée and banana puffs! I don't know where he puts it! Might try ringing his dietitian and ask them if it's normal but it's near impossible to get hold of them!

Aww Tori he looks adorable and so peaceful :)

Lill yes it was very weird setting up his bed and then also having the cot all set up for a newborn! It's starting to settle in that I'm having another son on the way :)

Lulu where u live sounds so so lovely! Seals nearby and everything! I'd love to like somewhere like that :)

Ducky it's an IKEA toddler bed, it's blue :) a proper kiddy one :) it matches his drawers and also has a little bedside table to match too.
Gosh Ducky he is a hungry one! The milk u have is there a hungry baby version of it? I know it's a prescribed one. But yes maybe speaking to the dietitian about how much he is eating is a good idea they might be able to suggest something :)
I know DS had to go on hungry baby milk as he was feeding too much. Maybe ur DS just loves all the new tastes of these solid foods! :)

DS slept amazing in his new bed last night!!! :D my alarm actually woke me up this morning instead of DS! He was very happy when he woke up as well and kept tapping his bed going "ooo! Ooo!" :)

It is half 10 at night here. DH and I are lying in bed with no lights on. Outside is still twilight- sky is still a lightish dusky blue in the West and it is pouring with rain. Amazing! Almost like lights somewhere behind the clouds. Trees swaying in the wind and patterns on the bedroom wall.

I was prepared to sell DS to any bidder today. Has been a little horror all day. Over-tired, wouldn't sleep, lots of wailing and screaming, wanted to be just carried around all day. Spat food out and just wanted milk. As DH came through the door he beamed at him and held his arms out. Has been good as gold since and is tucked up in bed rosy cheeked and cherubic, fast asleep. I would have taken 50p or a second class stamp for him at tea-time.

Ohhh cupcake bet you loved the lie in! He must really love his new bed!

Tori that's a lot of feeding! Your doing really well!

Lulu ds does that sometimes, hel be a monster all day then when anyone else walks through the door hel act like an angel!

He woke up at 4.30 this morning, he wasnt asking for food but I did him a bottle in the hope it makes him sleep again, it worked for a little bit but he still woke up early. He's having mango &passion fruit soy yoghurt for breakfast, haven't decided on lunch yet but then he will have sweet potato, beans and carrots for dinner. Hopefully it will help! Just a bit of a pain ATM as I have to make him seperate meals as his gets cooked with his milk in which is gross

Tori uve lost a lot of weight! It's probably all that feeding DS is doing! He's draining the weight off u

Lulu my DS is still like that now, he can be awful and misbehaved and then suddenly his nana pops round and he's an angel! Like butter wouldn't melt haha.

Ducky the lie in was great but! Because I'd had longer in bed I was in a lot more pain when i woke up! This bloody spd ruins the good things lol I've still not had my own physio appt come through yet! I think if I don't get it in the next few days I'll have to call the doctor up.
It's hard work making all those meals isn't it Ducky? And the amount of milk u get through too is a lot when u start to wean! It was expensive for me ! A tub of formula £10! And using around 2 tubs a week... £20 a week on milk!

DS was very cheerful this morning, I got up and went into his room and he was sat at the end of his bed with his feet hanging over the side DS2 has been very active this morning I've felt rather a lot of kicks! Still not very strong just little ones. I have my 20 week scan next week! can't believe that's half my pregnancy gone! How fast has that been!! I'm shocked! Will check that DS2 is still a boy!

Thts great about the movement cupcake shame about the spd though. Your pregnancy seems to have flown by!!!

Tori looks like your little man is doing really well!

I'm just off to the shops. Have been planning a surprise birthday party for dm since January. It's this weekend just hAve to get the finishing touches, candles and things. Hope it goes ok I've spent so long planning it all!

Although with a few days to go my grandad nearly let the cat out the bag! My aunt lives far away and she's coming over for the party, my db needed to stay at my grandads and he said loudly in front of dm 'you will have to sleep in the small room Saturday though as da is staying the night in the big room' my mom keeps saying 'he's losing the plot, he's convinced himself that da is coming to stay with him!'

That's good he's put on weight Tori! :) and yes I think I'm the only one left who's pg!

Yes Ducky I'm glad he's a right wiggler! :) ooo I hope the surprise party goes well! How lovely of u to organise one! :)

There's something wrong with my poor car :( think I might have to take him to the vet.
He keeps sort of heaving? He's been doing it all day, he's tried to eat but hardly eaten. He's not been sick or anything just keeps doing this weird motion like he's heaving.

Oh no cupcake! Do you know if he's been drinking? Do you have any chicken you could offer him? How has he been in himself? Poor kitty.

Take him to the vet in the morning Cupcake. That sounds very odd. Has he got something stuck in his stomach do you think? Poor cat.

He's not drank a lot no. He's making. Such a weird noise now. DS is trying to copy him! He sounds like he's sneezing but he rele isn't sneezing! Looks drowsy too :s

I think the vets is a good idea tomorrow

Yea take him vets first thing.

So nervous about Saturday! She's really not expecting it, especially as her birthday isn't until the following week. I had to do it early because we booked someone to be there who she LOVES and they could only make it that week.

Cupcake, I would be quite worried about your cat. Noises and drowsiness and heaving are not good signs. You need to get him seen asap tomorrow. I hope he is OK. Let us know. I will worry about him.
