May 2015: Still early but babies already arriving!

Hi ladies, here is a thread to get us started. The support of other 'Maysters' has been so valuable, would hate to miss out on this once babies arrive. I have a feeling we are still going to have lots of questions and experiences to share! Smile

apple that's great, hopefully that will continue!! It's so nice when you start having big chunks of sleep again isn't it!

Hi amy congats and welcome

Mabel has her first cold... It's really not fun! Hmm

applecore0317 · 27/07/2015 23:15

Oh no chook hope it goes quickly

Emelia's got her jabs on Wednesday. Am dreading it!!

Chookford · 28/07/2015 10:27

apple Mabel has hers Thursday but if she is still poorly they won't do them! Nellie was fine with jabs and still is, needles don't bother her at all am hoping Mabel will be the same! Hope Emelia is ok...

applecore0317 · 29/07/2015 13:08

She cries and I cried... All done now though, she's currently sleeping on me

Bazza2 · 29/07/2015 18:01

apple I cried when Angus had his too. He gave me the most terrible look, like he'd just discovered that there are bad things in the world and that I was supposed to protect him and I'd failed.

applecore0317 · 30/07/2015 02:53

Oooh no bazza that's not a good look, bless you, it's horrible isn't it. I gave her calpol tonight as she was so grizzly, hasn't affected her need to feed every two hours that she reverted back to a few days ago :(

Chookford · 30/07/2015 12:28

Oh no bazza that must have been heartbreaking! Hope he is ok now?

apple hope Emelia is now ok too? Poor thing!

Mabel has hers at 4pm not looking forward to it!!

Bazza2 · 02/08/2015 16:39

He actually coped pretty well, didn't seem too bothered. Next lot in ten days or so, eeek!

FeelingBlessed77 · 02/08/2015 16:56

Thomas has got his on Tuesday, he was fine last time, but we did have a wait in the waiting room for my appointment too. so may be different this time around. xx

applecore0317 · 02/08/2015 20:52

How did Mabel get on Chook? Emelia wasn't a happy baby for a couple of days but is fine now, hoping that as the next lot are boosters it won't be as bad!

Fingers crossed for the next ones bazza

Hope Thomas gets on ok feeling

Got the inlaws arriving on Thursday for three weeks, first grandchild and first time meeting her.

Chookford · 05/08/2015 09:11

Mabel was fine thanks apple she slept for 11 hours that night tho so she had some effects! She was a bit grumpy yesterday tho so not sure if the after effects took a little while to show themselves!

Hope you enjoy having the In laws down! Have a nice rest and let nanny do the Lion share of baby work!

feeling hope Thomas got on ok?!

FeelingBlessed77 · 05/08/2015 09:38

Thomas was fine thanks. a bit clingy yesterday, but back to normal self today.

FeelingBlessed77 · 14/08/2015 18:00

Hey chook. how are u and mabel getting on.

Chookford · 17/08/2015 20:08

Hey feeling we are good thanks.. She is teething not though so have had a few stressful days but think the worst has now passed thank god! Have booked her next lot of injections for 1/9 so that's out of the way too!

How's Thomas getting on? How you doing?

applecore0317 · 17/08/2015 21:39

ooh that's early Chook, poor Mabel! Glad she's feeling better.

Emelia has her second lot of jabs next week... Inlaws are here until the day of the jabs. so they will either have their last day with a very sleepy or very grouchy baby. It's been nice having DH off for the last ten days, he has realised that every day is different and that it's difficult to stick to plans all of the time. Plus think he sees how much I do to feed her, entertain her, ensure she has naps etc, cause paternity leave doesn't do that as he couldn't do as much then.

Chookford · 18/08/2015 20:43

Yes Nellie was the same too apple started at 8weeks and the tooth came through finally at 12weeks... So think Mabel will be the same!!

Hope the next lot of jabs go ok, and it's good that your DH has seen how much you do, I'm sure a lot of men think raising a baby is easy Hmm

applecore0317 · 18/08/2015 20:51

Ha ha I swear they think they sleep most of the time :) owch, bless her, toothache is bad enough as an adult!

BifsWif · 22/08/2015 20:23

Hi can I join too please? My (11lb) not so little girl arrived 22nd May.

I think she is also teething Sad

PasschApple0317 · 23/08/2015 00:01

Hi Biffswif :) Wow, eleven pounds, that's pretty impressive for a birth weight :)

Am not looking forward to the teething, must be so miserable for them.

BifsWif · 23/08/2015 09:47

I don't remember my first child being too bothered by teething, She seems a bit more settled today thankfully.

Who do I need to email to join the facebook group please?

PasschApple0317 · 23/08/2015 22:01
