Emmsy's weebles - enjoying comfort, support and mini eggs, onwards and upwards!

[VJay]

A new home ladies! Tis the season for mini eggs , time for baby neeko to arrive, and more BFP's, oh and mls joining the bigpant bench

They are might have to resort to bottle in a minute...im hot, she is hot, been pooed on twice, sick a few time, where is dh when you need them hey? He just called and wont be home til mid night. Hoping she will give up fighting the sleep and i can get my three hours in before dh gets home.

Hope you are feeling better x

x post with pfj jope you get some rest too....Our bodies are wierd and totally amazing but sadly they some times can let us down try not to think too much about it all, or you will end up all muddled and confuzzled! Though easier said then done when you wish for something to blame....

Can you stop going on about mini eggs...i cant get them anywhere! i want some sooooooo badly

eew.. baby poo. Poor you...

I'll come over and help you clean up....

Barbie do you want me to post you some mini eggs? I have every sympathy, Isabelle only giving me 20mins-an hour between feeds during the day. Today I have given up and just stayed in bed and let her latch as she pleases (which is all the time!)

MLS's friend Louey I'm sorry to hear you've had a miscarriage, please do join us when you're ready and we'll do our best to get you through it.

barbie how sweet that you woke up thinking of me, however not wanting to rain on your parade but my lower back ache started yesterday, so i am out for this month why is it taking so long this time round, sometimes i wish we'd never even started trying for a baby, all this pain for nothing and it never ends and you have nothing to show for it. Then you get stupid programmes like Eastenders who show abortion scenes and i for some reason i have to sit and watch it

sorry for me post

Moon - big hug. fingers crossed for you that next month you conceive your Christmas baby.

Morning! Still here Had one lousy contraction at 5.15 last night after scrubbing floors, walking, eating pineapple, bouncing... yada yada yada - then NOTHING! Think I'll still be carrying this one when he/she's 16!

Moon Sorry to hear your news but it's not over til the evil with flies in. Still keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Barbie I'll post you some mini - eggs too if you email or text me your address They are half price at Asda just now! (Sorry!) Have you considered giving Devon a dummy? It sounds like she is using you for comfort a lot of the time and since she'll take a bottle there's little risk of nipple confusion. I know lots of people don't like them but they are supposed to cut down the SIDS risk and will gve you both some relief. DD gave hers up no problem at 2.3 and it was far easier to get rid of than a thumb! Gracie above advice is for you too.

PFJ You've had such a time of it and your poor bum! Maybe there was something going on with your immune system, unfortunately you'll probably never know. Glad for you that that part's over with.
DH and I are fine now. He's a great guy really but so hard on himself and - like all men- can be blinkered by his own to do list. Still it takes one perfectionist to love another and to do lists are my specialty.

MLS glad you got to see doc and are on the mend. It's much harder to be pregnant when you have a toddler already and even worse if one of you is ill.

Hi to everyone else. Mermaid have you taken up skating yourself???

hi neeko bless you for offering but im back in the uk next thursday so i think i can wait until then

Come on baby neeko, its my sweepstake day and i must win!!!

The doctor also recommended a dummy to also help with the difficult poo problem....i bought one yesterday but she refused it thinking prehapes the teat taste funny or is too big

Hi Barbie The offer stands after you leave the UK. Nothing worse than having a notion for something and you can't get it.

DD liked the Avent dummies and would never take one with a cherry style teat. Maybe try it dipped in a little bit of expressed milk? If you have any left.

thanks

the ones i got yesterday are cherry teat style, they were the only ones i could find for newborn...maybe she dislikes them too. ill search for the advent ones

You can easily get them over here in all the supermarkets and stuff so if you can't find them there at least you don't have long to wait (and you can stock up on mini eggs at the same time! )

hi neeko This LO is really making you wait isn't he - I agree with the others, got to be a boy to be so difficult! Good that you got one contraction - maybe you should try the opposite approach today, sitting on the settee with your feet up , watching crap telly and eating chocolate?

Barbie Persevere with the dummy - mine never really had them as DH hates them but with DS we did try a couple of times and it took a few attempts before he started using it properly. This was one of the cherry teat ones as I think I'd been told they were better for the teeth. But having said that, I really don't know as mine never had them - DD used her thumb and DS his fingers but would have been happier with a dummy imo.

Got to go - working from home and "lovely" boss , asked yesterday if I can get enough done at home.. Cheeky . Clearly he can't!

morning all,

Quickie while Ben is post-feed puggled.

Neeko -damn it I'm out of the sweep . Good advice from LBM - to do opposite of rushing around. Did you try the sex option yet or are you holding out until your 10 days over .

barbie - great advice from Neeko re dummy. Ben refused it and boy I wish he would have sometimes when he was screaming trying to get his wind up. I've read the best way is to place dummy on their tongue so they can have a wee feel. Good Luck hope it gives your (.)(.) a wee rest.

Embarrasing admission alert - I still suck my thumb and so does my big sister .

Monkey - hope you've been able to lurk and are reassured re: nuchal fold. We don't get them up here in Scotland - one less things to worry and fret about . Great news though that your 12 weeks

I had a terrible day yesterday, B threw up at every feed, really fretful etc. and had bene up four times the night before - I was . Went to BF support group and they are running a pilot one to one clinic on a Friday to help bf mums . Of course B was only up twice last night and has fed like a dream today - typical. My problem is same as DS1 in that I have too fast a flow (or so I think) and B gulps it down creating wind and pain etc. But the thing with bf is its all guess work as he might just be a colicky baby. Starting to contemplate introducing one FF at @ 10pm to give me a break and hopefully have him stretch out a bit..

Had my first mini packet of mini eggs on Sat - shared them with DS1 and he was converted .

Better go for now x

Hiya, lots of catching up to do

neeko lol at your one contraction, that's pathetic , why don't you try doing absolutly nothing, maybe babyneeko likes all the rocking and movement you create, so go and put your feet up and eat mini eggs

blue it is all guess work, I bought a tin of SMA on Monday, now Ajay is back on the boob full time again

barbie ds1 took a dummy fine for me where as Ajay completely refuses, I've bought loads of different ones and he's just not interested, he's a thumb sucker. He didn't start sucking his thumb until he was a couple of months old though, then he settled himself a bit. It's all trial and error

mermaid are you on MN strike? Hope you are ok

pfj hope you are ok, everything goes through your mind when you mc, we all want answers as to why it's happened so we can avoid it and have a successful pg. Most of the time we don't get the answers though. A few of us on here bought the Miscarriage book by Lesley Regan and found it very helpful.

monkey thinking of you

moon big hug to you, what cd are you on?
I wasn't on here yesterday as I spent the day playing with my video camera, thanks for the kick up the bum there, I had great fun and got some good footage of both boys. I've decided to leave it lying around so I can just pick it up whenever I feel the need

Big cheery waves to you all xxx

Vjay I am loving that you are using the camera. I have mine within reach too!

Morning all - I felt like it was time for a spring name change

Do I look different like this?!

Nice and pink , is that you iggy?

Felling v sick so can't write much, but just wanted to say thank you so much for the reassurances and hand holding, it's muchly appreciated. Iggy will have a look at those links, thanks
Am trying to stay calm but am terrified it's all going to end badly...

Neeko Hope you're doing okay, at least one contraction is better than none Let's hope it's the start hey!

Haven't managed to say hi yet to PFJ, so sorry to read what you've been through. You sound like you're being very strong. I know someone with one fallopian tube, and she's managed to conceive very easily, three times. In fact the last one was an accident so she's very shocked!

Really have to go - sickness has got worse again since hitting 12 weeks on Friday, it's an absolute nightmare and I can't even open my mouth to speak. Am really hoping it goes soon, am getting thoroughly fed up!

Love to all, and will try to come back on when I can xxx

Thank you monkeybumsmum! I LOVE it when people tell me about sucess stories on one tube

I really really hope you get better soon.

XXX

hi all. Great minds must think alike as before I logged on here I ate a full bag of mini-eggs and put on House doctor. Plan to do nothing until it's time to pick up DD.

Monkey Sorry to hear you're feeling so awful still. really hope it eases for you soon. Big hugs, cool cloths for your forehead and a funky sick bowl coming your way.

Blue at the thumb sucking - maybe that's why you're so chilled? I'd def try Ben with the one bottle of formula. It'll put your mind at rest to know what he's getting and you might even all get another hour's sleep. You've done a great job so far so give yourself a break. Have thought about sex but can't muster the enthusiasm!

Vjay you shouldn't tell a hormonal pg woman she's pathetic - you'll make me cry! Glad to hear you've got lots of footage of your boys now. DD loves watching old footage of her but keeps asking for all her old toys back!

PFJ How you feeling today?

Hi to MissPiggy Why the name change?

MLS is still feeling yucky so is in full lurking mode.

Sabs How's Saara's tummy now?

Hello all
monkey glad baby was v active at the scan but sorry about more worries hope 4ever's comment about being told a 6mm fold could correct itself has reassured you. Also rubbish you're still being sick One poor girl in my NCT group is still being sick all day at 8 months..just feel so so sorry for her so fingers crossed yours buggers off soon!

barbie I'm hoping I'll still be able to stay in touch...I can get online in the office a couple of days a week and hopefully our internet shouldn't take too long to hook up once we're in the new place thanks for the advice. I will try to do nothing! I packed up crockery yesterday and was exhausted after it so poor dh this weekend we have friends helping out too though.

Neeko we're waiting!

blue me and my big sister still suck our thumbs too! but only very rarely and for comfort in extreme circumstances!!

Moon boo to back ache...but I agree it's not over yet! Christmas baby would be luuurvely

PFJ so sorry to hear of your horrible experiences hope this year gets better for you.

Has 4ever not been in to update on her scan yet then? Everything was fine and her girl is big and strong, estimated at 4lb 9

I had a letter from hospital telling me my bloods have come back anaemic so have to take iron tablets. No wonder I've been feeling crap the last couple of weeks! Thinking of taking mat leave a week earlier than planned but bit scared that that leaves me barely any days in work! So weird!

Cupcake Take the earlier mat leave. You'll need it and you'll have lots of nesting to do. If Wriggler makes an appearance while you're offline, I'll try to text you. Now sit down and put your feet up!

Sorry for name change - don't mean to confuse people! Just bored of old name and want new one

iggypiggy to MsPiggy seemed close enough!

cupcake Can you try taking Floradix? Is a bit vile - but made me feel better when I went all pale and pathetic a while ago - is an iron supplement and is safe to take. xx

Neeko I love House Doctor. My DH hates it. He also hates Queer Eye For the Straight Guy, but if I assist on putting them on he always seems to want to openly discuss whats going on instead of looking at his PC.

He also hates Big Brother, X Factor and shows of that ilk, but funnily enough he knows all the characters and has strong opinions on all of them. Funny that?

PFJ Funnily enough, my DH hates my programmes too but alwys seem to know what's going on Since his TV viewing of choice is football, it'd be fair to say I don't like his choices either

MsPiggy Do like the new name but you'll always be Iggy to me now!
