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

I love pugs!

I have a French bulldog but she always gets mistaken for a pug because she was so mistreated before I had her she has a few problems including floppy ears

What yoghurt did you eat cupcake? I hate breakfast but I usually just stuff something down me or I eat rubbish. I was told the other day that I have lost too much weight since ds but this jelly belly just won't shift! I have tried dieting, healthy eating and excercise but nothing works!

Aaww bless him! I love golden retrievers I grew up with them :) I only ate Greek yogurt with honey. I get them in little pots from asda have u tried a stomach wrap? They can get rid of a jelly belly!

I have looked into them but they seemed quite expensive, I also didn't know which ones to trust (if you got a cheaper one)

Ds just had his special cheese on toast and loved it. Solids seemed to have helped his sleeping in the day most the time he will have longer naps, but does nothing for his night time sleeping!

Yeah they are pretty expensive :/ that's the downside of the wraps. oo I love cheese on toast! Glad DS liked it :) he'll soon sleep really well at night don't worry :)

Anyone know any Spanish tapas places? There used to be one in derby called La Tasca that me and my mom went to a lot and I can't find anything like it! And I really crave some good Spanish tapas! :p

I'm feeling like crap today ds has been over tired for about 2 hours, nothing I can do will get him to sleep and he's scratching all his head because he's so frustrated when I put him down, if I pick him up he goes stiff and screams I know it's stupid but I feel like every one else's baby at his age sleeps 7-7, I'm lucky if he sleeps 8.30 to 2am. Feel like a bad mom right now

Annnnd relax. Ds just gone to sleep. I now have a glass of wine and all is good with the world

Aww Ducky, of course you're not a bad mum You're doing your best! He's usually a happy little boy isn't he? I'm sure it's just a growth spurt or he's not feeling too good- it won't be your fault at all!
Tori, that sounds very tasty! I've given up cake and sweet things, or trying to at least although I'm having a treat of apple with peanut butter, that's a healthy sweet treat! I've only gone over my calories by about 150 today... Not great but less than yesterday!
Cupcake, there's still a La Tasca in Nottingham I think, and one called Escabeche just outside nottingham.
I love Spanish food as well, I ate so much when I went to Seville last year and the year before! I love Spain, gutted I can't afford to go this year.
Tori, I'm usually free on Thursday and Friday afternoons. I'm not sure how easy it'll be for me to get to the ikea though because I don't drive so would have to get two buses. Been trying to work out where else might be good...

Cross post Ducky! Enjoy that wine, you deserve it

Oo Tori sounds yum! Oo I'll have to look up that then as I just love tapas. I work Mondays and Thursday so a Friday would be good! I also get paid next Friday so even better

Ducky I don't know if it helps at all but I felt the same as u honestly. DS was the worst sleeper, he started off amazing then stopped sleeping well. Even now he doesn't go to bed at an early time and I struggle some nights! Where as my friend has her 2 girls I bed by 6:30pm!!!! DS would never do that! That's in the night garden time I've attached a photo of DS..... He fell asleep 10 mins ago as he's been a nightmare!! But he's looking so so chilled as if he's accomplished something In his naughty behaviour!
U enjoy ur wine!! so jealous!

Lill I will deffo have a look into the la Tasca in Nottingham! I'm jealous u have peanut butter! I eat it out the jar with a spoon I also drive Lill so I could get anywhere, where would be better for u?

Thanks lil

Thanks cupcake, it's crap for you but glad to know it's not just my ds

I only had a small glass but it was very nice. Dm is having ds this weekend, hopefully I will just catch up on sleep! Think I'm just a bit run down ATM

Thatll be a good break for you
Ducky. Has your DM had DS to stay before? I'm hoping DS gets used to my DM soon an likes bein looked after by her, it'd be nice to be able to leave him with her while we have an evening out, also whe I go back to work she'll be looking after him a bit.
Cupcake, Tori maybe we could meet somewhere in nottingham if it's not too hard for you two to get to? Then I'd just have to take one bus into the centre.

Fridays are good for me too

Yes she had him once before overnight but has had him quite a few times during the day. I hope he's ok as he's starting to get a bit more clingy now! It's so cute, he holds his arms out to you to be picked up and he thinks he can kiss people he really just grabs faces and puts his open mouth on their face and shakes his head

That'll be a good break for u Ducky! Just what u need :) and how cute of ur DS!

And that's good Lill I'm fine going anywhere :)

I'm a bit worried this morning. Not felt baby move yet and I usually feel him as soon as I wake up he was moving around so much yesterday. I'm nipping my moms in an hour so if I've not felt anything I might call up the mau and see if I can be monitored a for an hour and leave DS with her

How many weeks are you now cupcake?

When I was pg with ds, right up to around 25 weeks there would be a day or two I didn't feel him at all. I remember the midwife coming out at 17 weeks to find his hb. It's so stressful isn't it! Hope he starts booting your insides about soon.

He's kicked! I'm 21 weeks Ducky but I'm starting to worry again. Even tho I know everything's okay n had my scan and that. Just panicking lol
Think it's because I've not got anymore scans till the end at 36 weeks and I hardly see my midwife. And I remember with DS I was in from about 24 weeks with reduced movement as I went to midwife and said he hadn't moved for a whole day and she sent me straight to hospital. Got to try not to worry I guess!

That's a horrible stage isn't it, from 20 weeks - 30 weeks you seem to have no contact from anyone. Just keep aware of your movements and if your worried at all get straight to mau

Lil you were right, ds woke up with a cold this morning, I think it is anyway, could be hay fever. He has all bogeys under his little nose

Ducky that's so cute about your DS! Poor little thing having a cold. I thought it was that though, there's one going around. My DS was worse before the symptoms like bogey and watery eyes appeared, so hopefully your DS will feel better soon.
I hope the baby's moving more now Cupcake! I got worried in the last trimester too.

I know Ducky, doesn't feel right not seeing the mw for so long! It'll have been 10 weeks since I last saw her! I need to see her every 2 weeks to put my mind at rest

And yep baby has been moving a lot more this afternoon!! :) think he must have been asleep this morning. As soon as I had lunch he wiggled loads and has done all day now. Phew ! In fact he's kicking now

Thanks Tori. And of gosh, bless him. Hope he feeds better today for u!

I had an awful nights sleep. Lower back was in agony and cracked every time I moved. My pelvis was awful too and just hurt. Like growing pain but a bit more painful!
I've added a bump pic and as u can see I'm already huge!!! I still have 19 weeks left or 16 weeks if my baby is nice and comes at 37 weeks! I think I will deffo have a 10lb baby this time! DS was 8lb 13 so ....

Could he be having a growth spurt tori? Has the feeding calmed down a bit now? You've done really well with that.

Cupcake glad he's moving it's so bad they've left you waiting for your appointment like that utter madness that they can leave you in pain. And that's a good bump you have there! I just went online to look at your bump pic and saw the pic of your ds chillin! So cute! And love his top!
