Our babies are teething, screaming and generally not sleeping, but we're still JS-ing - it's Just Mumming 10!

[LaLaLaaaa]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 10th Just Mumming thread...following the trials and tribulations of our babies, following the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed!

For those that don't know, a 'viroid' is from the original JSing thread 1, where someone was trying to type ladies (in reference to all the JSing ladies), but their phone decided to call us all viroids instead!

The name stuck and we've been the JSing viroids ever since.

The 43rd grads thread is here

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 56th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

The previous Just Mumming thread is HERE

There is also a private facebook group (so it doesn't give the game away in your news feed!)... if you want to join to see photos of new babies etc, just ask in-thread!

Hello all!

I saw a teeny tiny baby out shopping today that made me all squeeee i want another. E has been really cute lately and is sleeping through again so it feels like maybe I could do this. I had my implant out before Christmas and I am still waiting for my period to return, the Dr said my fertility should be back to normal in two days, I am definitely not pregnant but it's been almost 2 months now! I don't actually want to ttc till E is 2 (17 months now) but having a period would actually be nice lol. I told dh I would track when I ovulate after my first period so we could dtd without risking pregnancy but still no period and dh has given up asking

I am already getting nostalgic for the teeny tiny days and melba is only a little one anyway! But she's growing up so fast... She can suck her fists and smile and make proper noises and everything!
Must. not. get. broody. yet.

Ooh exciting popz and cookie!----

We didn't get any professional photos and I have waves of guilt every now and then about it!

Oooh cookie you dark horse

Three women from my January 2015 bus are preggers again already!!

I asked the doc at hospital if the cancer diagnosis was any reason not to ttc this year. He said "no, carry on!" So in his head he must be fairly confident it's not spread (fx fx fx)

Not that I've had AF yet and still bf so..you know. But I'm ancient! Need next baby this year!

Oh zyla that is something positive :)

How do you feel about your diagnosis?

It's fucking unfair and it sucks big donkey balls! That is all ;)

On another not, H has been screaming all evening, off her food all day and hardly having any milk which worries me. I think it might be a tooth, but seems to be a top one...she's meant to be doing bottom ones next. Has anyone else's baby done it in the wrong order?

That definitely sounds positive zy! They must not be thinking about chemo or anything like that either. GX but I don't think you need them!

Can you get a 12 hour bf break? I think that's what kickstarted my AF is when minipopz went on nursing strike for a day.

Oooh X post. How do you know what the right order is???

There's an order popz, I learnt that recently! Here's a diagram: www.orajel.com/en/Resource-Center/Teething-Relief/Teething-Chart-See-When-Your-Babys-Teeth-Will-Come-In

I want to do more updating but am already late to bed and missing my valuable two hour sleep gap! Update properly later.

Ohh that's interesting re teeth. B has just started drooling so we're a way off yet.

Zyla hope it's a tooth and it's through soon

We're going to wean at 5 months from due date so mid Feb. I have 3 copies of Annabel Karmel so I bought veggies today, cooked, puréed and froze them in pots. I put a tablespoon of veg in each pot, is that ok?
I didn't bother with ice cub trays as they hold tiny amounts but if he won't eat much to start, should I have done this?
I did potato, butternut squash, sweet potato and carrot...20 pots of each flavour
I need to do sweet ones as well but no freezer room!

In other news I put B in his crib tonight with his light show on whilst I got ready for bed. He fell asleep by himself!!! He's done this 3 times in his life!! Trying not to get my hopes up that he will do it again

It is shit zyla hoping it's easily fixed for you

Well done B for falling asleep on his own. I know nothing about weaning sorry so can't help there, but it sounds tasty

I've been using an app to track G's feeds and nappies but I'm wondering when I should stop . I love graphs and things like that but can obsessively check things and try to see patterns when obviously at this stage there aren't really any. What have other people done? I use it mainly to know which side I last fed on and what time it was as I keep forgetting that

I think the problem if you freeze it together is waste purple. The amounts the have to begin with are so small that if you are likely to need to defrost it all at once you may end up binning a lot of it. But you said you put it in pots so that might be fine.

I just my app to track everything for a couple weeks pud. Then just to track feeds for about 3 months. It was a lot to track sides but I got better at remembering - started to be able to feel it too. Then the app was my way of telling me how many times I was up in the night, but actually I realised after 3 mnths that doing that really does not help so I stopped tracking.

It is all really fucking unfair zyla, but you can kick its beeeehind! We don't have any teeth yet and I don't really know what order my friends came in but the details I saw implied there could be some overlap between them so not a strict order.

You only need to do a tax return if you are self employed or own rented property popz - don't worry! It's a total pita arse. Hope you got the minipopz off to sleep earlier! You and cookie are still mental to be doing this again in my eyes but I was a little sad when looking at his early photos at the beginning so I get the nostalgia now he's a bit bigger. Will enjoy watching you get your BFPs from afar though!

Hope we get to see some pics pud! Pleased it was all calm, did you get away without getting covered in poo too? That seems to happen a lot in the new born shoots!

I think the song is on there toast. We all tend to end up singing it daily when the babies cry. You'll be signing like a pro in a couple of weeks - when I first went I thought I would never get the signs for that song but it soon creeps into your brain! Are you doing it on your own or with other baby friends?

It was the anniversary of the due date of my first MC yesterday - which I realise is a nothing date really but mentioned it to DH and he said it was 'kinda irrelevant now' which I understand but sounded a bit bloody harsh! It still happened and it's still sad. So I've mentioned it here now to acknowledge that it happened.

Morning!
JC I dont track anything and I guess at which boobs turn it is, not everyone is as lazy as moi!
Popz la she needs to tap her toothbrush bristles with her finger three times then wet the brush thrice. Dont get me started on her fucking shoe and sock fuck on every.bastard.morning. I these compulsion things are like an illness but I need to be out of the house and cracking on, not watching her lining up her shoe Velcro for 10 minutes 😵

dulcet its very relevant though. That was really harsh of him. You're right to acknowledge it. Me and DP remember ours and we both still get sad about it.
Its not something easily forgotten.

I didn't track much jc but cant hurt if it helps. I just used to use a hair bobble on my wrist to remember what side I was on - very low tech!

Hugs Dulcet Not irrelevant at all. I remember he/ she was due around the same time as minipopz. Thinking of you xx

zyla I agree it is bloody unfair!

I heard that teeth are meant to come in pairs to some extent that is true for E he usually gets one and then a week (or several weeks) later his other one. His I think came in a random order too.

We are not gone ttc till E is two, so a little while to go

Hugs Dulcet you never forget any babies, it's different for men I suppose. I remember being distraught one day a couple of months after mine and asking DH why he never gets upset. He just said he accepted it and got over it. He's not an unfeeling bastard at all, just much less emotional than me.

I am still sad about my first. I'd be going back to work now and planning a 1st birthday party.
B has taken most of the pain away but I won't forget my first bean

Thanks all. I am sure he thought he was being helpful in some way but was just a bit dismissive. I'm ok really, it sticks in my mind more because it's also MiL birthday so it won't ever pass by without being noticed.

Where has she developed the toothpaste thing from ga? It's interesting where they get these habits from!

How the fuck do you keep baby socks on?! It's even harder now he has found his feet and wants to play with them!

'Sock ons' Dulcet!

I suppose it's hard for the menfolk to be as attached to a pregnancy as we are in those early weeks, it's just an abstract concept to them until they see physical proof of it in a scan or a bump. Sadly I've heard of other people who've been told they should be "over" a miscarriage or a stillbirth, after they have another child. Like its been replaced so that makes it ok!? Anyway. That's not what MrD meant I'm sure, glad you're ok dulce.

I seem to be having all the AFs I've missed since getting upduffed!! So heavy!

Thinking about buying some sneaky ic opks.....

Sock ons are the dogs bollocks

Sock ons are genius.
Can any more experienced viroids tell me when the hair loss might stop? I'm shedding more than the cats and in danger of looking like uncle fester if it carries on like this!

Argh! She won't go down for more than 20 minutes at a time! DP is back at work today so don't feel like I can wake him to hold her for a bit. Just hoping she'll be put down tomorrow so I can try and catch up on sleep a little

deeply my hair loss post cross ginger lasted til I got pg with triple J! It has now resumed. My shower plug hole has more hair than I do again.
JC she will sleep it off today I bet. Probably when its not the most convenient time.
I'm hot and thirsty and trapped under sleepy boobing baby. Urgh.

She's sleeping fine she'd just prefer to be held whilst doing it! This definitely has the makings of a growth spurt as I was feeding her every hour or so in the day yesterday.

I've found it really hot tonight too, even though it's probably freezing outside
