Lib ~ OMG that is steep! I paid £42 for the 1st session and then £38 for the other 3. We have one more session but I'm considering cancelling it as I can't see how it has helped. I'm in two minds. Every time I go the lady says he's really coming along, well of coarse he's growing up! They change every week.

She's been checked by a couple of people who said there was none, and she can stick her tongue out. Also, she's fine feeding off the left boob, it's the right one where I get all the problems. Just had a bit of a cry, feel much better for it.

DH is walking up and down the stairs with her, seems to be the only thing that soothes at this time of night.

Roll on 7.30. Bath time and lovely bed.

AGnu, can you pm me who you are in RL, I'm confused since the name change!

Librarina · 30/07/2013 18:09

I don't know if I can spend that much money, but I really want it to not hurt!

peardrop2 · 30/07/2013 18:59

Has anyone collected their book start books yet?

kittykatsforever · 30/07/2013 20:26

For that much money lib I'd home and ask if that's something they think they can make a difference with, if they are reputable I'm sure they won't say they can if they can't or they don't think it sounds like she's got a problem, I'd want a money back guarentee Wink

kittykatsforever · 30/07/2013 20:27

Pear if you don't think it's helping I'd cancel, is want to see obvious improvement for that money, what is she surposed to be helping with?

bringonthetrumpets · 30/07/2013 20:38

Would you be willing to travel to another location that has cheaper fees Lib? That does sound pretty steep! I agree with kitty in seeing they offer a free consultation before you agree to treatment.

You might have to keep taking the lecithin, but you can slowly decrease to smaller amounts until you find a level that doesn't give you a bleb. You kind of have to be your own science experiment unfortunately.

I'm sorry frus. That sounds really frustrating! I love going to Ikea and get so grumpy when I have exciting ideas and plans and they fall through (stupid money, who needs it anyway? Why can't we just trade things?)

Took the boys to the movie theater to see Turbo. M started screaming for milk as soon as we got into the lobby and would not settle down so I could go feed her in the dark.... I totally just flashed the whole movie theater lobby and shoved a boob in her mouth. She slept through the movie Grin.

kittykatsforever · 30/07/2013 20:43

Being I think I flash on a regular basis!
I've found after giving birth I just don't seem that bothered anymore lol

kittykatsforever · 30/07/2013 21:07

That was bring, my iPhone keeps getting you wrong!
I'm watching an episode of OBEM on really I've not seen, an I really not having another baby I miss it allready

FrussoHathor · 30/07/2013 21:08

I've heard some fab news. For those that remember lolcbcb from the monthly conception buses, she just had a little girl.
thunder told me Grin

kittykatsforever · 30/07/2013 21:52

Oh I knew that frus, I'm on one other thread she is on feels like cheating it was a long running thread so rather then the August bfp and that it was for the whole of 2012 , there is now a grads one and she is a member, she's a beautiful little thing
Where is thunder?? I thought we asked demandeddaily updates??

AGnu · 30/07/2013 22:23

That reminds me, I sent places a PM a while ago & she had a girl. I really must reply to her. My communication skills are appalling these days! Blush

Anyone heard from merry recently or know how ponk is doing? We seem to have lost several people along the way! I'll add "cover holes in bus floor" to my 'put on to-do list' list. Yes, I really do have one of those! We'll track everyone down, drag them back aboard & lock the door! Wink

I think we should threaten to out thunder's bump on facebook if she doesn't come back with regular updates. I wouldn't really do it but blackmail might get us updates! Grin

FrussoHathor · 30/07/2013 23:34

Thunder's about.

kitty you cheat. I don't go into any other buses. I like our small and cozy bus, I don't think I have the mental capacity at the moment to keep track of who's who on a bigger bus. I like to poke the vipers nest in aibu when I get restless

Isn't ponk pink? Yes, and merry, If there still about on mn.

peardrop2 · 31/07/2013 01:17

I vaguely remember lol... Conception is now a blur lol

Librarina · 31/07/2013 01:53

I can barely keep up with our little gang. Motherhood makes me stupid!

I've found someone cheaper who also offers a free clinic once a week, out of love and goodness. I'm going to go on Thursdsy.

kittykatsforever · 31/07/2013 03:05

Frus it is a bus of about equal size, not that big but was actually on there's first as started after my first mc, the grads thread is newish though as most people on it were long time TTC ers, it's slower though, only about one post aday so easy(z to keep up, only me, lol and 2 other actually have our babies, one of whom is mrs bri who was also on our bus, she had a little girl too ( you remember she was convinced shed have a boy! Lol)
Who else did we loose, pink, places, merry, mrs bri,blending is that it apart from our lovely thunder?
I'm sure we could hunt them down Agnu Wink

kittykatsforever · 31/07/2013 03:06

Lib you are the apitomey of all that is good and kind Grin I'm sure she will thankyou in years to come Wink

FrussoHathor · 31/07/2013 11:01

lib not stupid, just baby brain. And it's not just you.

Eek we have green poo.

FrussoHathor · 31/07/2013 12:56

Ds made me laugh last night. He fell asleep on me after
feeding so I put him in sneaked him into j mhis carrycot. He did the rooting thing. Then was clearly trying to sniff me out. Then he starting patting the mattress in front of him trying to touch me. Then he opened his eyes and looked awfully put out when he realised where he was. I had to laugh it was just so methodical.

AGnu · 31/07/2013 14:09

Don't worry Frus, green poo isn't at all concerning! Wink Has he been checked for tongue tie? According to my research it's really rare to have lip tie without tongue tie too!

FrussoHathor · 31/07/2013 14:13

Apparently he got checked at the hospital before discharge. But he won't open his mouth or lift his tongue up for me to check. I suspect he might have as he doesn't poke his tongue out.

FrussoHathor · 31/07/2013 14:26

Just had a nosy poke with a torch. No tongue tie that I can spot. But his lower jaw is set back. It just seems to be his top lip that's tied.

FrussoHathor · 31/07/2013 14:27

Agnu were a family of rare medical conditions. One more wouldn't be out of place. Wink

AGnu · 31/07/2013 14:30

By whom though? If they're not an expert they might not identify a posterior tie! I found the person to be referred to from this website. Might be worth a look!

AGnu · 31/07/2013 14:33

Lol! As I understand it, not all tongue ties are visible - sometimes they have to be felt by an expert. I can't see that DS2 has a tongue tie, but then I haven't got a clue what it's supposed to look like! Confused
