Seymore what a shock that must have been!!

MaMaPo · 31/03/2013 07:55

Thanks everyone. I'm ion the mini pill and can't tell if its bfing, exhaustion or that which has affected libido. We def used plenty of lube ( oh, TMI!) but it was v tight. I'm sure it will improve with practice.

No idea when BFP was - I realised I was late a few days after Easter, and took the test a week after that. Surprised it was positive as we'd been trying for only 6 weeks.

EggsMichelle · 31/03/2013 08:53

Happy Easter everyone!

8hrs and 3hrs. I think he has got used to his cot, and the breathable bumpers are brilliant (shame they look so boring). Off to ILs today for roast dinner, and eat lots of chocolate.

Spotty im going to sound terrible but DH injured himself playing rugby whilst i was pregnant and I'm secretly please as he hasn't had that excuse. Ill want him out from under my feet next season!

SpottyTeacakes · 31/03/2013 08:58

I suppose it could be worse, they could be golfers!

Such a lovely day. IL's are coming round later bleurgh. They're fine I just can't be bothered plus they will want to hold my baby. Hope they've got me an Easter egg no one else had

EggsMichelle · 31/03/2013 09:03

I had to buy my own bag of mis shapes from the Cadbury shop else I'd have no chocolate either!

Bil and FIL golf, once we move house DH will probably be golfing too [buconfused]

SeymoreBunnies · 31/03/2013 09:34

spotty DH is a golfer, but he does it less since we came here. It used to really annoy me, a whole day of the weekend gone and he took the car. Angry

IsThatTrue · 31/03/2013 09:46

Horrible night teething last night :( ds2 spent most of the night asleep on me with my nipple in his mouth Hmm he would not take the dummy!

honey it is completely normal for them to learn something and then forget it for the next x days (or even weeks) all mine have done it for various things.

MaMaPo · 31/03/2013 09:54

Sleepy house here - we've all taken C's morning nap and are likely to be late for champagne brunch with friends. Oh well.

My husband doesn't play sport but goes for long rides with his cyclist buddies. Doesn't do it in London but will when back in Aus. Brilliantly, his other hobby is cooking and he's just started baking. He made English muffins last night and I just had one for breakfast. :) He's a catch.

SeymoreBunnies · 31/03/2013 09:55

Oh and Happy Easter everyone!

Nearly 8pm here so I've got some Wine and a crunchie. I'm not supposed to be eating dairy but I've watched everyone else scoff chocolate all day and cracked. Grin

isthat Sad you must be shattered. I hope you can rest today.

SeymoreBunnies · 31/03/2013 09:57

mama [buenvy] !!

SpottyTeacakes · 31/03/2013 10:05

Hmm dark mucousy poo from ds Hmm teething?

SpottyTeacakes · 31/03/2013 11:07

So pissed off with mil. Ds was crying and she just let him saying 'oh dear' to him. Then she starts rocking him and I say he's tired and she just keeps going basically leaving him crying then ten minutes later she goes 'do you want me to put him down so he can sleep?' Er no he's in such a state now the only thing I can do is feed him whereas I could have cuddled him to sleep before. I've come up to my room with ds Angry

SpottyTeacakes · 31/03/2013 11:11

And I didn't get an egg

HoneyMumandSon · 31/03/2013 11:13

Oh dear spotty hope you're ok. Mils really are thoughtless at times, they don't seem to understand these babies just need their mum

HoneyMumandSon · 31/03/2013 11:31

D has been asleep on me for nearly 2 hours with a quick wake up when I had to go to the loo this is unheard of.

utopian99 · 31/03/2013 11:33

Ohspotty I'm feeling for you. Just because people like to think they can 'sort out' a baby doesn't mean they should be allowed to prevent the mother who clearly can do it faster/better for their lo.
I tend to just hover until they have no choice but to hand back..

Barbeasty · 31/03/2013 11:59

Ispy not much use while you're away, but have you been given a topical antibiotic cream to put on the tummy button? And are you wiping it with cotton wool and cooled boiled water?

A's "extra bit" fell of at about 8 weeks after the above, the main cord stump came off after 4 days.

DH took DD to church this morning. She was good so he popped to Tesco so she could get a treat..... Chocolate! Because she doesn't have enough today.

SpottyTeacakes · 31/03/2013 12:01

Dd has three uncles and her and ds are the only nieces/nephews yet not one of them got dd an egg. She hasn't had one so far Hmm but I know my sister will have got her one tomorrow.

Ds won't go to sleep because he's so over tired therefore I'm thoroughly pissed off and will blame dp for the rest of the day Grin

WLmum · 31/03/2013 12:35

Oh spotty poor you and poor dd. sounds like they're all a thoughtless bunch. I have developed a thick skin and just take dd out of people's arms if I feel she wants/needs me. Wish I'd been brave enough with dd1. Before dd3 was born I did actually shout at fil who wouldn't hand over dd2 even though she was hysterical crying and screaming g for me. And I was not sorry!

HoneyMumandSon · 31/03/2013 14:23

Well woke up for a poo a play and a feed and is asleep again Confused this is very unlike him, I think he's plotting something.

Clarella · 31/03/2013 15:42

oh spotty mils can be tough. a hv suggested exactly the same - no can do when they're in that state. dh keeps attempting silly things like that when at home - he learnt he's lesson this morning and had to resort to going out in the pram Grin

I would gladly swap your 4 hours for our 2 ;)

fucking buggery THRUSH. I think both of us. sodding antibiotics. luckily popped to walk in and got the drops for him cream for me(though think will ask for more - tablets?) yesterday but am sure tongue looks worse today and getting paranoid he's not feeding so well. after all the carry on with refluxy tongue tie crap, .bf refusal etc we'd been getting back into the swing of good bf ing, including NOT ON THE BED!

ARSE.

still, at least I know his kidneys will be thoroughly checked out sometime soon (a newcastle thing apparently)

SkiBunnnnny · 31/03/2013 15:46

Morning! Happy Easter everyone.

Honey, I had that yesterday. LO never normally naps for more than half an hour during the day but was asleep on me from 5-7. I was so scared he would go to bed but was asleep again at 8.30 only half an hour later than normal.

Thanks guys! You reminded me that when the snow melts golf season is here! We live right beside the golf course and DH gets a free season pass through his work. Last year I would go along sometimes to occasionally hit a ball lie in the sun and drive around the golf cart but not sure if I could bring LO along this year. It can't be a good thing for babies to be around flying golf balls?

SpottyTeacakes · 31/03/2013 16:16

Clarella to help with the thrush wipe his mouth with a sterile wet cloth after each feed and reduce your sugar intake. You would need tablets if the thrush is internal?

I'm in so much pain still on one side, just like the first few weeks. I'm not sure why though

halestone · 31/03/2013 16:44

Spotty sorry your having such a shitty day. Maybe book an appointment with your GP and get your boobs checked out?

Sorry that you've got thrush Clarella, but your doing brilliantly still breastfeeding through it all.

My DP is a golfer, hes taking me to the driving range its a sport i want to get H into although she is a girl. Is it good Ski?

Booked the church for H's christening its in September i know its ages away but want H to be able to sit up and handle being passed around Smile

SpottyTeacakes · 31/03/2013 18:43

Maybe Hales, there's not much to see though Confused I will give it a week and see what it's like!
