April 2014 TTC Girls- babies almost all here and last one on his way!

[LuluJakey1]

Here is our new thread everyone.

I hate the control crying advice! :( it's like they only see that as the only option. I couldn't do control crying.
I hope they manage to give u some decent advice ducky.
Oh and I completely jinxed it!! DS is poorly...... I knew he was off and not right. It's not like him to sleep so much! He hates sleep!
Well DS was sick absolutely everywhere! It was rele bad bless him. I've not seen him be sick like that in a very long time! It even panicked DS too. It was everywhere. All over him and all over my clothes too and the carpet and the puffè stool thing we have. My mom was literally due to arrive in 10 mins for a takeaway! I had to strip me and DS off I cleaned him with wet wipes then I had to get tons of cloth and disinfectant and a plastic bag to clear all the sick up, then disinfect every where. Then sprayed febreeze over where he was sick then I quickly took DS up and bathed him and me together! Omg.... It was a nightmare!
I just knew he wasn't right tho.

I'm so ready to sleep haha. DS is still awake tho :(

Oh no cupcake! Poor thing , he's been through so much lately. ????I don't know what to do anymore. I can't go on like this. He was up until 1am crying if I wasn't with him. I finally fed him to sleep and he's been up since 4.45

He has bless him ducky. 1st a cold now this!
And all I can say to u ducky is keep going. Try and push through the bad stages. Ur DS is incredibly similar to mine, he'd have awful patches of no sleep being clingy and everything then he'd sleep great and I'd feel he was finally a normal baby! :) then he'd go back to being awful again. It's exhausting :(
DS is 2 now and most of the time he's been sleeping fine. U'lll get there I promise. Just make sure u ask for advice where ever possible.

Hope everyone's okay today?

Got the new oven installed today! :)
Went to use it for tea.....

It broke.

Honestly! The fan started to bang about and has become loose so I can't use it mans coming back tomorrow to sort it out. can only happen to me!

Oh no cupcake!!! Was it a professional installing it? We got a new oven recently.????Fingers crossed ds sleeps tonight I have a camp bed waiting in his room incase he has a bad night so I'm closer to him. He's already been up loads tonight. ????How is ds cupcake?

Yep it was a professional who installed it!
Aw bless ducky :( I'll keep my fingers crossed for u as well. I hope he sleeps well for u tonight.
Ds is okay, he's not been sick again but he's been very winey all day crying on and off and being clingy. He's only just fallen to sleep! Been a long night already.

My back is aching so bad when I lay down tonight! DS2 has been extremely active too! I'm ready to get him out now lol
I see midwife tomorrow and have a scan next week.

Well it's not long now cupcake even if it feels like years for you! It feels like your pg has flown by here! ????Still no good nights sleep here

Not long at all! Looks like I'll be having baby around the last 2 weeks of October :)
I'm being left to see if I go into labour by myself but possibly be booked for induction at 38/39 weeks! My midwife reckons I'll be 1cm at least by then as its my 2nd pregnancy and most women are already dilated by this point.
So looks like I have about 4 weeks left to go! Omg scary!!!!

Oh no was DS up through the night? :( I hope he improves again and starts to sleep. Try get a nap today if DS does, it'll get u some energy back

Hello everyone! DS went to bed at 8 last night and slept through until 4 am! Unfortunately he woke up then because DD had crept into our bed then leaked through her nappy so we all had to get up and change the sheets! . Then DS stayed awake singing to himself for the next hour

Fingers crossed ds2 comes himself! But not too early. Hopefully then you can have your water birth, I'm so gutted I didn't get mine.????Hi bears! That's great of ds!

Hey Bears :) wow that's a great sleep ur DS had! And the story with ur DD sounds familiar

Ducky they've said if he comes anytime now he'd be okay. N yes I'm hoping for my water birth, my midwife told me to ignore my new doctor and just request the pool when I go into labour. She said she's had ladies in consultant led who have used the under water monitor so she said so can I!

I'm just hoping he comes very very soon. Obv my chances of early labour are higher, but midwife said if he was to come next week he'll be fine so they aren't worried. I've been told to start hand expressing milk from next week to store incase baby has low blood sugar and needs care but can still drink my stored milk.
I'm gonna start everything possible to help labour from next week too. Exercise ball, pineapple, etc so any tips please let me know!!!

Also my pelvis has gotten to its worse, :( I've been in tears every single time I've gone to turn over in bed tonight. I'm in so much agony at night, it's awful :(

And to top things off the iPad broke last night so it's costing me £65 to fix it! Annnnnnnnnnd DS dropped my phone and the screen is completely smashed so I'm guessing that'll be about £70 to fix too

Is your support belt helping in the day still? Ds had a bad night again. I feel awful as at one point I shouted at him I was like 'just go to sleep!' And he just looked at me shocked.

Yea Ducky the support belt is amazing
In the day! Just wish I could have one for
Night time but there's no such thing :(
Aw Ducky we all end up snapping at some point, I've done it as DS a few times and feel awful after :( u must be exhausted tho, can't H help u at night? Just to give u a bit of a break?

He has tried cupcake but it seems to wind ds up even more ????Have had a nice day today though and dm is having ds for the night she'll bloody regret that. ????We have been out for a nice meal and have got a new tattoo ds hasn't really napped today but is napping now. Getting ready for tonight

Sorry about the ??????The new app seems to do it if you try and leave a space

Oo sounds a good day Ducky!! :)
I'm dying for a new tattoo!! Going to get one once baby is here :)
Hope u manage to get as much sleep as possible tonight whilst DS isn't there :)

My DS has taken over my phone because he still hasn't got the iPad back!

I love getting tattooed. I got all the tops of my hands done will see how ds sleeps at dm's!

Me too, I love the feeling of having it done I want my arm done eventually but havent thought how I'd like it yet.

Weirdly DS slept till 7:30 today!

Ds' must be out of sync tonight then! He went to dm's last night, slept from about 8.30/9 to 11, woke up until 2.30 then slept til 5 don't think she'll be in any rush to have him again

Aw bless, I hope u managed to get some sleep tho Ducky!!
I'm so worried when DS has to go to dm's when baby is on his way! I doubt he will sleep at all

I've just brought the chicco next to me crib :) can't wait to build it and set it up!
Tho I've just realised I need to buy crib sheets as I only have Moses and cot sheets and they don't fit
Getting exciting now as I've now officially brought everything I need for DS2! :D
Just need to check the hospital bags and make sure I've actually got everything for them :s and pack a special bag for DS to grab for going to DM's.

Well Christmas is sorted. PIL and grandmas are staying with SIL. We are going there on Christmas Day and they are coming here on Boxing Day.

Ahh I loved doing my hospital bag, although both times I've not used anything in the one I packed and sent runners back and forth for things ????Lulu your organised! How is sil getting on? We're meant to be going out for Xmas, we don't usually, although I'm not sure as I don't know whether they will cater for ds. Has your ds sleeping been ok recently? From my research all day googling it would look like ds has problems sleeping during the 'wonder weeks' but no one else's ds does I am hoping he may be able to have further allergy tests soon to rule out anything else

He is sleeping fine generally Ducky although he had a bad night mid-week.

DH is hardly home at the moment - 3 nights this week it has been after 9 because of a governors meeting, an open evening and a conference in London.The other nights he has worked until 11ish here. DS has hardly seen him- he has been asleep when DH goes to work and asleep when he gets back. DH is now getting upset about it and feeling guilty but we knew the first term would be like this.

Oo u are on top of things Lulu ! :) sounds like a good plan for Xmas tho.
We are a going to my moms as far as I'm aware for Xmas dinner. I'm happy with that as DS is used to her house and I know he's able to run off and is safe. So I can concentrate on baby :)
Aw poor DH :( I bet he's exhausted also. He's just got to make sure he makes the most of the times he does have with DS.

Ducky, I suspect I'll be getting people to go get me stuff too especially once baby is born as I'll be demanding some chocolate!!
And my DS is the same always has been like that with sleep. I think my DS just hates sleep haha

Well our iPad is officially broken forever. We were told yesterday it's not worth fixing as it'd cost nearly the price of a brand new one. I don't have money for a brand new one tho, so been searching for a used one for £80. I was hoping new models may have gone down in price but they haven't
Ours was only a little iPad mini.

I said earlier DS hates sleep.... Well he's still asleep!!! Proof is in the picture!
It's nearly 8am! What's going on?

Also I keep having period like ache in my stomach. I'm sure I read that it means labour is near? Or maybe I'm just hoping
