The Pact Cont - April 2021

[SS123456]

Just starting up a new thread 😁. Hopefully I haven't forgotten anyone!

@kirinm @whambam89 @Rotagilla @MrsB2019x @LeopardLover @Sansa87

@leopardlover lovely to hear from you glad you're doing well!

We found out today that we're having a little boy!

Congratulations @whambam89 how do you feel about that!

I’m not sure the ratio of girls to boys on this thread

@Sansa87 Aww, really well thank you! I mean, we don't sleep but you know. Is Frankie a good sleeper? Just wondering if there's any truth in the 'girls sleep better than boys' myth 🤣 how are you?

I really loved being pregnant! If it was safe to do so and we were ready financially I think we'd crack on! It's nice you feel complete ❤️

@whambam89 Yaaay! A little boy! Welcome to the boys club 😉

@LeopardLover she only sleeps if she’s in bed with us and has a boob at her disposal when she demands 😂 we’ve only managed one night in nearly 8 months where she’s slept through the night 😂 she’s good at naps as long as she’s on us, otherwise she has a hissy fit.

I’m SO tired 😂😂😂

@Sansa87 I'd have been happy either way! I really wanted DD to be a girl but wasn't bothered this time round...just got to get used to being a boy mum 😂

@LeopardLover thank you 🥰 I'm mainly looking forward to him being less hard work than my sass pants 4 year old when he hits 3 years haha

@Sansa87 In that case, welcome to the no sleep club haha! I think we managed one night where he slept through... Such a distant memory! But he does sleep in his cot (which we tweaked to be a next to me). Naps are few are far between these days!

I'm exclusively expressing still so it's an extra hurdle haha. Are you heading back to work soon?

@whambam89 Hahaha well I wouldn't count on it. This boy is the sassiest thing ever! And my nephew out-sasses my niece by a mile 🤣🙈xx

@LeopardLover oooh sounds rough! I still breastfeed, but she has one bottle of formula before bed! I never seem to find the time to express 😂

I’m going back the beginning of May. Decided to take the whole year. What about you?

@Sansa87 I bet you don't if you're feeding around the clock! It's nice you can get one feed off

Same here! Although was contemplating not going back... Still am actually. But I'll give it a go! Can't imagine leaving him x

@whambam89 congratulations that's lovely news 😁

@LeopardLover great to hear from you! My DS (now nearly 10) didn't sleep through the night until he was 5 years old! 🙈. We had a rough first 9-10 weeks with Jessie but she is settling down a bit now. She sleeps from 10/11pm to somewhere between 4-7am most nights at 4 months old so definitely can't complain. I am still breastfeeding with the odd bottle from OH but it's tricky juggling everything with work and being a taxi driver/PA for DS 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@SS123456 5 years!! 🤣 Oh well. It is what it is I guess. I'll just accept this is my life. It's not so bad really.

Wow, that's fantastic sleep!! We used to get 5/6 hours in one go but that changed. I'm just hoping he'll eventually go back to waking once a night. Honestly you are a superwoman for not only having a baby, but working and looking after your son too xx

Congratulations @whambam89 that’s lovely news! 💙 is your DD happy he’s a boy or was she hoping for a girl? How are you feeling now you’re in 2nd tri?

Nice to hear from you @LeopardLover, glad everything is good with you! I’m exclusively expressing for Ella too, it’s so hard isn’t it 😩 but totally worth it.

@SS123456 The thought of not sleeping through the night until 5 has made my toes curl a bit 😬 glad Jessie is better though!

Pretty sure Ella is in leap 5 at the moment so sleep has gone to shit again 😩 I’m beyond tired. But she’s learning new things all the time so that makes it worth it I guess.. 🙄😅

@MrsB2019x neither of us were really bothered either way! I'm still not feeling great, had a weekend of sickness which seems to have settled down again fingers crossed. 17 weeks in a couple of days!

Aww the leaps are hard but almost worth it when they start learning new things 🥰

We are in leap six, & omg my head is ready to explodeeee.

@MrsB2019x Oh you are! Well done to you, mama! It's not something I would've picked but 9 months in now and planning to go until 12 so not long left 🤣

Gosh, can relate with the sleep thing but no idea what leap we're in anymore. We're all in it together haha. Hang in there @Sansa87!

We turned 9 months on Thursday!

How’s everyone doing?

@Sansa87 ah look at her! ❤️. We are good thank you, Jessie is 6 months old this week! We got her weighed yesterday and the little chunk was 16lb 10oz 🙈

@sansa87 she's gorgeous! How are you getting on?

@SS123456 can't believe she's 6 months already!

I'm almost 22 weeks, it's flying by!

We went to Devon last week for a few days, & she seemed to have picked up the mother of all colds from softplay there.

Had an awful 6 days of it. I’m so sleep deprived. It’s worse than her being a newborn 😅

@whambam89 oh wow it's going so quick! Are you feeling ok?

@kirinm how are you doing?

Hello everyone!

How are you all doing?

I have been away for a while after the 3 miscarriages during 2020, we relaxed a little, came away from social media etc. I had our rainbow baby, a beautiful baby girl, Adalynne on 8th November weighing 6lb 15oz. She's now coming up to 4 months old and such a little character.

I hope you are all well! The little ones are all growing so quickly! X

Ahhh @krj260888 absolutely beautiful! Congratulations! I’m so pleased for you ❤️❤️❤️

@krj260888 congratulation, such amazing news! She is beautiful 😁❤️

@Sansa87 What a cutie - and happy 10 months! We're 11 months now and the walking has started 🤣

@SS123456 How is your gorgeous chunky 7 month old? 😍

@krj260888 Eeeek! Congratulations, she is beautiful! So pleased for you 😍 they really start to show their characters at that age!

@whambam89 @MrsB2019x @kirinm How are you ladies?

Can I just say, I love that it’s been nearly 2 years since the original thread (though called something different) and we still check in on each other 😍

We’ve just started reaching up for things!

Hi Ladies! I was actually thinking about you all yesterday ❤️

We are good thank you! Jessie is still just as chunky @LeopardLover 🙈. She is sitting on her own and rolling so I don't think we are far off crawling now!

How are we all? @kirinm how are you getting on?
