MiniPopz is STILL UP. I started putting him to bed at 7... Angry Angry Angry Given up now, he's chilling in his bouncer watching tv while I drink wine... #motheroftheyear

Haha, I'm trying to be nicer to MrPopz. I do feel amorous towards him occasionally but it never ends well. I think my fanjo is broken.

JuniDD · 24/07/2015 22:28

Argh sorry popz, he's caught it! Babies eh?!

Hehe, you lot make me genuinely lol Grin
Sounds like Min is supposed to be distracting MrPopz whilst RPopz supervises babies with wine Grin
My fanjo is a bit broken too - we had pretty successful shag t'other week, but there were some wincey moments. Figured out that it's the perineum that's still bloody well tender, which isn't too shocking considering what it went through, so I can't tolerate much poking about, but once he's, ahem, in place, it's all good!
Up with a very poorly J, he's got a horrible chesty cough. We stopped BFing this week, so my boobs are like hot rocks of pain, and together we make a pretty pathetic pair! Confused

juni when could I do a back carry with my connecta? She's getting heavy and I get achy back from my norks anyway, figuring back carry might straighten me out! :)

minimooo · 25/07/2015 09:10

Morning! Hope everyone is OK?
Haven't had much time to mn recently - E is keeping me on my toes.
Just wanted to pop in quickly and say dulcet I've been using the Kari-me stretchy sling post emcs and it is wonderfully comfy. I think I first used it about 8 weeks after cs because I was worried it would put too much pressure on my scar, but it didn't at all and I probably could have used it sooner with no problems.

Also just wanted to mention that I posted my birth story on the childbirth threads and got some useful replies. I probably won't pursue legal action for the moment and just take some time to do some investigation into it first.

We're off to a bbq today at my sister's - first big outing!

Niffertiti · 25/07/2015 09:50

Just to say thanks so much for all the suggestions and advice. Sling suggestions especially - I think it will be our main transport option so it will be worth looking up a sling library before we go, hadn't thought of that! There's got to be one nearby, I live in yummy mummy land (rm, we're the same postcode, have you found one?).

We sacked off the baby shopping last night as too tired after a long week at work. We've booked a nursery consultation at john Lewis instead. Possibly slightly more expensive than online but we can do it all in a onestopshop and they'll send it straight to the packers for shipping. And we can claim back the VAT...

Hope all these babies do some good sleeping over the weekend!

FurryScoob · 25/07/2015 09:50

Glad you got some good advise mini enjoy your BBQ

I went out last night & drank proper alcohol filled drinksGrin miniscoob got me up at 4.30 Sad it's gonna b a long day! Brew

RPopz · 25/07/2015 10:04

Hi mini! Hope you have a nice time at the BBQ Smile

How was your night out Pis?

I prescribe a day in front of cbeebies scoob Grin

MiniP finally went down at 11! Shock Monkey. He did his first proper laughs yesterday though

Pisghetti · 25/07/2015 13:06

It's tonight Popz - I just realised I picked out a BF friendly dress when I didn't really need to! Although I may have to do an emergency pump if my norks threaten to take over the restaurant.... Typically BabyPis is having a really hungry day today so she'll probably kick my production into hyperdrive :-/

cookielove · 25/07/2015 13:24

Hello all :)

It was my first week back at work last week so I was to busy to post! I am also shattered!

You lot probably hate me, as E is sleeping through now, although I had months of not sleeping! At least you know there is light at the end if the tunnel!

JuniDD · 25/07/2015 15:00

How is work cookie? Is E doing ok with the change?

Have fun tonight pis!

Zyla back carry from six months or sitting independently but good neck control is most important. Can do you a video on how to hip scoot if you like. Or YouTube. WinkWink

Hope your boobahs are ok ness, hot doesn't sound good.

Attempted dtd this morning.... It was okay... Didn't actually hurt where I thought it would around external scarring, it was just a bit yowch internally, but weirdly enough like you ness once he was 'in' there it was actually fine! Guess I conveniently forgot about internal stitching, not sure how extensive it was.

Ooh, night out sounds good pis boobs overrunning restaurant could get you out of paying the bill...?

I'm rebelling today and not wearing a nursing bra. I'm wearing a push up. I am sick of my boobs looking like saggy water balloons one minute and over inflated ones the next. At least this padding is keeping them look a bit more even and bouncy.

I went into Next yesterday and spent money we don't have found some very cool space themed clothes for TT. He's wearing a size behind his age where he's a bit wee, which is making everything last a little bit longer.

We managed midnight till 5am ish again. I am Hoping it's not coincidence. Next stage is trying to get him to sleep in the Snuzpod rather than on me

WilHarlot · 25/07/2015 16:33

Five hours on top of you is pretty good going Tee. Do you manage to sleep?

I know everyone hates Mothercare online but what's the quality of the furniture like? We have vouchers and need a chest of drawers so wondered if it was worth struggling through the horrendous delivery/customer service process?

ZylaB · 25/07/2015 16:35

juni she can almost sit by herself, does a minute or so when she's concentrating, but falls over when not and is nearly 6 months. Her neck control is really good though so I think she'd be ok. I'll have a look on YouTube :). Thanks! (What's hip scoot?????)

ZylaB · 25/07/2015 16:36

wil the chair we have is really good, but was an absolute nightmare to get!

teejayem · 25/07/2015 17:52

It's that weird twilight dozing sleep wil but it's better than going off into a really deep snooze and then jumping to wake up from it if that makes sense?
I've got double Mil tomorrow Confused. Mil plus her mother. Not seen grand-mil since Xmas thank fucking fuck I am dreading it.

RPopz · 25/07/2015 19:02

How you feeling to be back at work cookie? Is E in day care? How's it going? I just can't imagine leaving minipopz right now!

5 hours is great Tee. Can you put the sleepyhead in the snuzpod?

WilHarlot · 25/07/2015 19:43

Oh God good luck Tee.

I still struggle leaving Mini Popz overprotective nutter.

Indigoblue2 · 25/07/2015 19:54

wil if you still struggle leaving someone else's child you are seriously overprotective GrinGrinGrin

Minion · 25/07/2015 19:58

I've cracked open the wine.
I hate to say it but we have the most miserable child ever at the moment! All she does is whine, whine and whinge some more.
She's never been a giddy ray of sunshine, normally quite reserved and serious, but today was ridiculous.
She's drank fuck all. Eaten nothing but smooth shit designed for 4 month olders and screams if you pay with her, put her down, try and feed her pick her up, look at her, read her a story...

Fuck, today had been hard!

WilHarlot · 25/07/2015 19:59

Hahaahha god Min has your man and I have your child. I'm actually fine leaving MiniPopz but struggle to leave MiniWil Grin .

Nessalina · 25/07/2015 20:31

Haha! Grin Sounds like you're in for a quiet Saturday night on your own Popz!

Ah rubbish Min - is it the demon teeth again?

Good god Tee - double MIL Blush Run for your life!

We didn't have any issues with Mothercare, and we really liked the nursing chair we got there too though didn't get much use out of it in the end as my measurements were out & it didn't fit in the nursery Blush (for sale now if anyone's after one! It's this one - £100! Grin)

My boobs are sooo much better today, they actual feel like normal boobs! I reckon I'll leave them a week to settle down and then go out and treat myself to a really nice push up bra Grin
I had the day all to myself today, DH took J out to a family party whilst I mooched at my MILs on my own - it was bliss! Not my house, so couldn't do anything useful Smile Watched Singing in the Rain and lotsa You Tube vids Grin Feeling sad about stopping BFing, but it definitely has it's perks!
Poor J has a really chesty cough, so I think we're in for a bad night - lucky I caught up on my sleep today Confused

Minion · 25/07/2015 20:43

Fuck knows tbh Ness, we thought it was as it was the same last time but they popped thru 2 days later.
We're on day 4 of pure hell so far.
Could be a cold which would be a shitter as she has literally just got over the last one, in fact still has the cough from it.

RPopz · 25/07/2015 20:44

Haha, sounds good to me!! Grin

Has he just knocked it on the head altogether then Ness? Is he still rooting for boob? How do you get him to bed now? I always imagined stopping bfing would be some epic drawn out battle... Glad your boobs are feeling better!

Wine Wine Wine Min - I hate those days. Minipopz is into growling rather than whining at the moment... It's not annoying. Not at all.

Glad its not just a pfb thing wil!!

RPopz · 25/07/2015 20:46

Is it a Wonder Week Min? Minipopz's last "leap" was horrific. I struggled not throwing him out of the window some days...
