The 6th Broadly Gemini Luxury Bus - this way ladies.

[FrussoHathor]

Welcome aboard our 6th bus ladies.

[FrussoHathor]

When it's just me and ds I stop on the sofa and watch tv, and alternate ds between the play gym, my boob, and my shoulder. Yup. That's about it. Oh and change his nappy.

When dds are home, I do the above plus running around like a manic, stressed, headless chicken. but I won't scare you with dd2

lib you need to teach her the zoolander pout.

[AGnu]

DS2's weight gain is tailing off. It's all happening again!

[FrussoHathor]

Have you heard back from your email? phoned your new contacts?

[AGnu]

Yes, MBL replied saying she's happy to see us & offered us an appt on Thurs but DH is supposed to be driving to the other side of the country & back for work! He hardly ever has to go anywhere! I can't stand the thought of doing it by myself. I'll be in no fit state to drive if she says there's no PTT! I'm really tempted to just send DS2 with DH, since we just need her to look in his mouth! Wimp!
DH rang her earlier so they could find a time to suit them both but had to leave a message & she's not rung back yet.

[FrussoHathor]

Oh agnu that's the day after tomorrow. And she agreed to look. This is positive. Oh I do hope you get a soon appointment if you can rearrange. If you can't could you do it alone/have someone you could take with you?

[Librarina]

Oh Agnu, I'm glad you're going to be seen, I know what you mean about needing the support for a significant appointment, I took DH with me to N's Imms yesdterday as I was worried about the drive after with a screaming baby, turns out she was fine!

Lor, you're right, I struggle when I'm hungry and I'm a bugger for getting dehydrated and not realising. I'm completely with you on the stress, especially when it comes to wind...it's a choice, post boob snooze happy but grumpy baby later!

Had a nice day with her today. I camped out at my Mums (who was away last week, hence why i struggled now i realise!) and took her for a walk in the sling, breastfed her in it walked further then she napped and i successfully got her out and she napped for a further 30 mins not in the sling but sucking my finger... That's progress!

[kittykatsforever]

We celebrate progress lib

Agnu hope you get another app or find someone to go with you, being seen in Thursday would be great and don't look at the negative, if its not then she may be able to tell you why you've had such difficulty

[bringonthetrumpets]

Small victories make all the difference!

So glad you got the apt agnu!! Please just go to hear what she has to say. If anything else, she may be able to help you in other ways as well as not gaining weight is definitely a sign of something not going the way it's supposed to.

Took kids to a children's museum and wanted to cut my head off So many screaming, obnoxious children running around and my two heading off in two different directions so I have no idea where to even look to make sure they're ok. Annnnnd now the boys are back home and are acting like they're going to kill each other and are screaming at each other outsideI can only imagine what the neighbors are thinking DS1 is such a d** head sometimes.

[bringonthetrumpets]

damn, cross out text FAIL. I just want a nap and for September to be here so I can pretend that I only have 1 child for a while.

[FrussoHathor]

How long do you have left bring? I have 2 weeks to get through. I have been watching dd1 and have witnessed enough of her winding dd2 up to have decided to let them fight/squabble sort it out by themselves minus the sympathy. They are definately as sneaky bad as each other. 2weeks until I have 1 baby at home.

I've had too many carbs today and feel bleugh.

And my secret is that bfing is making my joints ache. And half the time I feel nauseous whilst feeding hence all the carbs and ds will only feed properly when i'm lying down. And his feet kick my legs. Which makes the skin on my legs feel like theyre burning. And I just want to snuggle him at night but it hurts and makes me feel more sick

[bringonthetrumpets]

2 weeks. 2 weeks. 2 weeks. 14 more days. 14 more days. I must keep telling myself this. I just let them fight it out too, but I'm really f'n sick of having to listen to it and constantly shouting at them to leave the poor baby ALONE.

My secret is that I've been shouting yelling,screaming far too much today and I really don't like the little walking, talking, fighting people that I've had to be around lately.

[AGnu]

It'll all be worth it eventually... When they've got DC of their own & come running to us like we're parenting gurus! & we can steal their snuffly little bundles & hand them back when they poo/puke/scream!

[AGnu]

Eep! Tomorrow is the only day MBL can do before she goes away again! Am going to have to find a last minute babysitter for DS1 & go by myself!

[Librarina]

AGnu, be brave my lovey, it MIT just be the appointment that makes all the difference.

I've made an appointment at the Docs, it has been suggested that I must have a spot of PND, apparently you're not supposed to dread spending the day with your baby. I didn't know that, I thought it was normal to fear them waking up.

[Librarina]

And such love to you all for sharing your secrets. A secret shared feels better x

[FrussoHathor]

You can do it agnu think strong. Big hugs and a big

[FrussoHathor]

lib hugs for you to my sweet. I am glad that you are seeing a doctor. And pleased that it is early on.

[kittykatsforever]

Lib you've been so brave and funny x
P.s I hope my kids stay asleep every morning too!

[Lorelei353]

Good luck tomorrow agnu.

lib I'm so glad you're seeking some help. I really hope you'll get a lift and feel more like yourself and start enjoying things a bit more soon.

[bringonthetrumpets]

Thinking of you dear, lib I think you feel so much better once you're able to just speak with someone about what you're experiencing. PND is way more prevalent that it seems and there's nothing wrong with you. Hormones can be a bitch (as they tend to be the culprit of it!).

FWIW, I like it when the kids keep sleeping too :)

Good luck agnu Not ideal to have to go it alone, but I really hope she's able to get you some answers!

I'm thinking I'm going to have to take M and myself to an LC. She's developed a really bad habit of not getting a great seal and letting her tongue slip when she opens her jaw to pull in the milk. Pretty sure it's not anything tie-related, but something to do with her suction ability. It's getting really annoying, but thankfully it's not affecting her getting enough milk (yet). I almost wonder if I should get her in for more cranial work and see if it resolves just typing out my own random thoughts

[FrussoHathor]

I'm beginning to wonder if ds looks like a girl. I've had 2 people today comment on "her" being beautiful and what's "her" name type conversations.

[FrussoHathor]

Morning all

[AGnu]

Morning Frus!

DS2 woke me at 4 this morning but I managed to shove a finger in his mouth settle him quickly only to be woken by DS1 at 5! He's never wanted to cuddle in our bed before but woke up screaming & clung to me when I went in! He spent the next half hour snuggled up with me pointing out various things around the room before starting to look sleepy. I put him back when DS2 started disturbing again at 5.25 & just as I fed him, DH's alarm went off & I had to shout at him to wake him to turn it off before it disturbed DS1 again! Both boys are still asleep now & I'm hiding in MN-world trying to pretend I have nothing to do today! I do at least have a babysitter lined up for DS1 who lives right next to the hospital!

I feel sick & am wandering round the house feeling like I'm hardly breathing but I'm terrified that if I try to breathe more deeply I'll end up hyperventilating. I miss my diazepam prescription!

[bringonthetrumpets]

Eh, oh well frus Hes can be beautiful too :) DS2 is always being called a girl, she, her, etc. b/c of his lovely curly locks (despite him wearing blue outfits with dumptrucks on them )

Off to the fair for my birffffday. Yay for junk food!

[FrussoHathor]

It's okay to cry agnu
