Eliza that is lovely, and so lovely for you that the girls slept through it so you didn't have to worry about them too.

YellowWellies · 15/01/2015 14:05

Awww Eliza lush! Perfect birth xxxx

TheRealGracePoole · 15/01/2015 18:20

eliza sounds like a dream! I also take hat off to you getting up and about so quick. Doesn't your bottom hurt!

BigPigLittlePig · 15/01/2015 22:11

So polite Grace Wink

GwenaelleLaGourmande · 15/01/2015 22:16

Grin but you did ask what we are all thinking. Eliza how are you doing this?

Elizadoesdolittle · 16/01/2015 09:20

Haha.... not really that sore. I'm ok once I get going. This has been the easiest recovery I think. Body is obviously used to being battered about. I want to go for a walk this morning and feed the ducks but looks like rain. Don't want to get stuck in a rain storm.

Baby A is sleeping well between feeding which is helping my energy levels. It's going to be interesting when DH returns to work next week. That's when it will get interesting.

Elizadoesdolittle · 16/01/2015 16:02

A bird pooed on my nice clean hair when we went to see the ducks. I could have cried!

YellowWellies · 16/01/2015 20:18

Eliza I'm hoping it wasn't a duck!

GTbaby · 16/01/2015 20:32

Elizadoesdolittle · 16/01/2015 20:35

BigPigLittlePig · 16/01/2015 20:52

Hello GT Smile

How's things?

GwenaelleLaGourmande · 16/01/2015 21:00

I saved a bird's life this week when the stupid fucker flew into my French doors. It shat on my hand as I moved it to a safe place.

TheRealGracePoole · 16/01/2015 21:26

Ungrateful I say gg

I am just polite kind of gal bp

Is bloody freezing here, all ski kit laid out for next week is getting used now. I will just have to wash again.

Just a little update,

I've decided I'll do as HV asks and go to parenting, just to prove I'm not a bad mum like she seems to think. I have also found out the reason why the children's centre and HV are so keen to keep an eye on me...they have spoken to my MW and she has informed them of my previous stillbirth and my miscarriage last year along with my anxiety/panic attacks so I'm thinking it's just so I'm not alone and it's their way of showing they are there for support kind of thing...

Had my pregnancy consultation today at 17 weeks. They've put me on aspirin - 75mg a day until 34 weeks. Not sure how to feel about this but Know they are just safeguarding me because of my history of pregnancies.

Congratulations Eliza! What a lovely birth for you! And birds pooping on your head is meant to be good luck do I've heard? Count your blessings! Grin

Elizadoesdolittle · 16/01/2015 21:43

fructose That all sounds quite positive then. Make sure you use their support.

StuntNun · 16/01/2015 22:40

Fructose I have been on aspirin since my booking in appointment at ten weeks due to suspected low birth weight of two of my babies. I'm happy that there's something they can do about it.

Pikz · 17/01/2015 05:31

Bloody insomnia

Jillian didn't answer my question. Confused

StuntNun · 17/01/2015 09:59

James has been asleep for 13 hours bar one wake up because he was out from under the covers and probably cold. Should I be worried? He usually sleeps for 10 hours maximum.

GwenaelleLaGourmande · 17/01/2015 11:26

How rude of her stunt

GwenaelleLaGourmande · 17/01/2015 11:27

I wouldn't worry stunt I would be too busy doing cartwheels round the garden

Zamboni · 17/01/2015 13:12

Fructose that sounds like a very sensible attitude (I'd prob still be smarting a bit) and I was on asprin too last pg when I remembered to take it.

Eliza so glad you had a good HB, congratulations!

All good here.having a lazy arvo I think, after a hectic week and swimming this morning. Some idiot me signed DD up for 8am lessons on a Saturday and as DH takes the car it means we all leave the house at 7.30am! I took S while DD had her lesson - he didn't understand why he wasn't with her. He's going to miss her terribly when she goes to school!

TheRealGracePoole · 17/01/2015 18:32

pikz if only I had known, I was up last night, from about 01:33 to 04:30 at least. I cleared out my whole massively cluttered inbox and filed a load of emails In organised folders. I signed up for a trial for reading eggs for ds1, downloaded a load of toddler games onto the iPad and worked out how to play them all.

I a knackered today. Hence I have eaten really badly and feel v bloated .

I woke up becasue I had a bad dream about ds1. He hasn't been as well behaved as usual and so it is obviosuly in my mind. I dreamt he fell off the roof becasue he wasn't listening to me.

Today has been better. I started the reading eggs with him, he did some compare bears while O did play dough and we wound the day up with baby yoga and story time which O even sat and listened to most of.

I have banned the tv. We have had maybe 20 mins. What a difference. I think is mainly beacuse I have spent time doing stuff with them.

I know what I should be doing but sometimes life gets the better of me. Need to shake myself up again I think.

Right. Is he is sitting quietly investigating tne sticker book I have found him to take to church tomorrow and O is away in the playroom.

fructose I think you are approaching it the right way. I think that we all need some support parenting sometimes and should take it when it is offered. We can't do it on our own.
