...

Thanks memphis. Well done on your zoo trip and what a lovely photo. I find, once you finally get out the door, it is easier to be out and about for the day than in the house. We have had some really lovely days out since the twins arrived, using our english heritage passes, how sad!! The babies seem to sleep better after being out too which is always a bonus!

I have calmed down now after realising I am too exhausted to be furious. My husband very rarely goes out and even less rarely lets me down so badly so going to draw a line under it and move on. The £40 in coins he left laying in our front garden (along with our house key and a pile of puke) i have pocketed so i too might be treating myself to a new haircut this week!!

The day at my mums was lovely as my little sister gave birth to her first on Friday, a beautiful little girl. Am so thrilled for her and their absolute joy put things in perspective! Made the twins seem huge although at 16 weeks they are only 3lb bigger. They have come on so much though, hadn't really appreciated that until I compared them to a newborn!

tonights I hope your DH realises how lucky he is. I am not sure I would have been so forgiving.
DH was meant to go out last night but it got cancelled.
He has still been a miserable git all day, he might as well have had a hangover. Apparently he is tired. He has got up in the night I would reckon less than 10 times since we had DS. He really should know by now not to complain!
memphis well done on the day out! The zoo sounds pretty adventurous! I need to sort myself a haircut too, not us since LO got here and I am going to a wedding at the end of the month.

I'd be furious too tonights. And congratulations on your niece! :)
memphis lovely pic, I don't think I'd be able to do it by myself.
First day back to the gym and I cannot walk up the stairs. I had to go as I'd been pigging out on cakes and chocolate since I've had LO. And even though at the beginning I was losing weight (ebf), since I started him on the special formula I stopped bf and I've realised that I've put on about half a stone already! So body combat it is then.

Tonights your dh is lucky to have you (I still bring up what he did for me to ban him coming home after booze at that was 6 years ago....I also hacked his fb and told his whole newsfeed tagging his whole family)

I have just had a chinese.....my first bit of rubbish in 2 weeks to celebrate 11 pounds off! Back on it tomorrow though

Am I the only bugger who doesn't lose weight BF?
Bastard body

Tired my friend is a tiny size 10, when bf she is a size 16. Even if she diets while feeding she won't lose weigh, she stops thrn loses weight easily.

I am not bf. my diet is the no fun diet. No caffeine, no processed food or sauces, no gluten or wheat, no sugar, no booze, no white potato, no fluid apart from 3 litres of water a day....no fun i make so many slip ups I have to be mega strict to lose weight

Tired, even with feeding two I haven't lost a pound. Just trying to console myself with thinking it will be easy to lose this two stones when I stop??!!!

Well done Memphis. I think I might have to try that soon if we get some good weather.

Tonight's that sounds awful. I hope he's making it up to you.

Well done memphis (and well done for enduring such a diet!)
tired with my DD, I lost a bit to begin with, but I put it back on (and more) during the 6 months I was ebf. It seemed impossible for me to lose any weight back then.

Due to not being a le to stomach sugary foods when pg I left hospital the same weight as when I fell pg but then put on 9 pounds eating crap after he was born. Im determined to be a size 10 for my friends wedding in 6 weeks, I don't want to be the girl that looks fit to eat all the other girls in a group pic!

I have to add at a size 10 at this wedding I am still probably going to be one of the larger women......so much easier having men as your best friends they gauge how great you are on 1. How quick you can drink a pint 2. How much chilli I have on a kebab and will only comment on your outfit if it is a Goonies or Mr T t shirt

Sorry for the moan, just getting me down that's all (how shallow,I know)
Boobs are enormous, have gone from an E cup to a G and really don't want to buy a load more bras so I'm falling out of my recently purchased F cup.
Meh.

Diet? Hell, mine is awful. I have zero idea what I weigh, but I'm two dress sizes bigger than my 'happy' size so I have work to do.

Trouble is I'm so anxious and tired all the time I don't have the energy for cooking properly decent meals so convenience wins out. LO is in the throes of some kind of growth spurt at the moment and is either screaming blue murder, fussing at a bottle, or being delightful for DH, the fickle thing.

So. Tired. I haven't wanted alcohol in well over a year, but the bottle of Stoli we got last year is starting to look so appealing.

I don't want to sound smug but I am one of the lucky ones who loses weight with breastfeeding. However even though I did lose weight last time I didn't get back to pre-pregnancy weight until I stopped. There seemed to be a stubborn bit of fat which was under the influence of some kind of hormones! I don't think it's shallow though tired. So much changes when you have a baby it kind of sucks you don't have your own body either if you see what I mean! Although I am losing weight I am a good way off my normal. I have this wedding in about 2 weeks. Is a big Indian do (DH is Indian) so I need to wear a saree, that's good in terms of most of it being very adjustable but need to find a saree blouse which fits my giant boobs and back fat!
Frenetic do you have the wonder weeks app? Some quite good info on there about the developmental changes which make them fussy. Although that doesn't stop them being a pain while they are like it!

Yes the wonder weeks is brilliant. No it doesn't stop them being fussy, but at least I could explain to my MIL why LO started screaming as soon as I handed him to her yesterday .

I've had breast refusal today as well as lots of screaming. According to the Wonder weeks app, we change tomorrow.
Thank fook.

I have such a sweet tooth right now, it was the month being at home on ML bored before he arrived then all the goodies we had in the house for visitors etc that has given me a real taste for sugar.
Also having boob issues as I went from a DD/E to an F during pg and they aren't deflating much yet even though I didn't end up breastfeeding. They're the main issue for clothes not fitting.

I too am a sugar fiend at the moment. So much so that I'm pretty sure the local coop staff have taken to laughing at the contents of my basket.

Memphis I've managed to find a good selection of female friends with the same attitude too.

Things yes I only have one true female friend and she is just like me all of the other women I know are wives of my friends.

Just been hospital for LO he will have his operation on his testcles in 8 weeks I feel quite ill at prospect, its 2 incisions.

Oh no memphis. Hope all goes well. Is he in pain at the moment? What have they said?
DD had an operation in her eye when she was really young and I felt like fainting when they gave her the GA (I was with her at the room). I was feeling much worse than I expected and she was actually ok! :)

Oh Memphis that must be so stressful waiting for the date. Hope it all goes smoothly for you guys.

I need to have a major moan about what some woman said to me today. I was out shopping & was going to stop for coffee. By the time I got served DS was screaming & the woman said "I think someone is trying to tell you to stop thinking of your stomach and think of theirs"
WTAF?!?

Addicted wtaf! i would have just answered that with a smile and 'do fuck off dear' today I had to tell the woman in asda to scan my shopping as she was doing this creepy smile watching LO as he screamed, I was all flustered desperate to get out. Some people have no idea!

Tweety the GA is horrid isn't it, Ds went to have grommits and while waiting for the pre op consultation a woman said her boy had them last year and the GA 'is like they die in your arms' as they go from screaming to silent and heavy, I burst into tears and she seemed to have no idea what she had said!

Last night he woke at 2 am then slept until 8.25 I hope he repeats it tonight.

I have now packed away all of his 0-3, dh's snip is booked for the 4th june, I feel quite sad I have really enjoyed the baby stage this time

addicted Was she very old? This is the only thing that would 'save' her from my reaction...
memphis Because of my PND last time, I felt the same thing when I was packing the 0-3 this time too. Really sad. :( DS wasn't fitting in most of them at around 9 weeks, so I didn't enjoy them as much I had wanted to. And most definitely I'm not having a third one!

Tweety me too, i think last time the pnd fuddled my brain and I didn't enjoy the first 6 months of his life because I was so ill and I now cannot remember much of it. I sold all of his stuff at a carboot I just wanted it gone, regret it now but now feel heart broken getting rid of stuff this time around.
If I could just re live the baby stages over and over I would but I couldn't manage more than 2 kids with dh's work as he is away so much and I wouldn't be able to work as it would be unaffordable.
