she's already thinking about baby number 4

thanks go to littlelapin for the title

Only popping in quickly as need to help DH finish off DD2's Birthday Cake for tomorrow .... It's a cow one this time!

Stressful, but fun day - nice to see SIL and DH's friend and his wife who are expecting their 1st in July - think we thoroughly scared the shit out of them with our 3!!!!!

Glad I am not the only crazy one who is planning their 4th already!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress, runny - and indeed, a great price - Wish I had the figure to pull it off - Have gone for pretty tunic top with buttons down the front and black linen trousers for SIL's Wedding - Have got beautiful sling to "wear" DD3 in though - so hopefully everyone will be looking admiringly at her & not at me in a my bin bag .....

Best go .......

Just had to take the cat to the out of hours vet as she wasn't breathing properly and was foaming at the mouth. Costs £88 just to be seen . Poor little mite, got to have tests to see what's wrong. Could be very bad. Got to ring back at 11.30 to see how she is.

Off to read the thread now, which is very short by the way Hope you're not all out being 'the life and soul' like I was last saturday night. Did i mention that i apparently saw a work collegue whilst out and have no recollection what so ever, good god I am a mother of 2, I need to behave like it!!

Awwww, Eddas, your poor cat!! Hope they can ifnd out & treat what is wrong asap!!! Did they keep him / her or have you bought him / her home???

SOKL - Beasties are back with avengence here too!!!

Runny, like the dress, erm silver accessories

KNIH, really don't know what to say. It's bloody hard work with one baby and a toddler, having two babies must be very very hard.

Katy, I keep trying to give dd the dummy be mistake just to stop her whinging. I personally wouldn't worry about the use of a duimmy becoming a habit. I was very worried with dd about getting her off it as she loved it but it wasn't too bad. just did it gradually and she was fine with it.

Oh der, just seen Lesley R's post, Runny, did you mean shoes etc, thought you meant necklaces etc!!! Erm shoes/bags my usual is black, can't go wrong,LOL

Ooogs, my 6 week check is at 8 weeks, he'll get his first jabs too. Probably better that way, then I only have to go once. With dd my check up and hers were on different days then had to go back again for jabs. Love my new doctors. The even phoned after Harry was born to say congratulations. And it's all women, probably why it's so nice

Hello, to everyone i've missed off

CDSB, they've kept her in. Poor little thing got taken straight to an oxygen tank as her mouth was blue. May know more in a bit.

That top off a depressing evening. We watched that united 93 film. Was just about to watch something funny to conteract the depression when dh shouts, eddas, think your cats dying and i'm not joking!!!

And he really does call me eddas, actually dd does too sometimes, thinks it's funny

The cat's been hit by a car, vet seems optamistic, but she's got to have a major op in the next few hours. Good bloomin job we've got insurance as he said it would be a big bill! I knew she'd get run over, silly bugger's got no road sense what-so-ever!

Right off to bed

Fingers crossed she's okay eddas. Off to bed too.

Goodnight

Monring all. Just popping in quickly.

Eddas, I am so sorry about your cat. I really hope he/she is ok. Pet insurance is fab! I have it for our 2 mogs.

Eca, hope you are ok and T has calmed down a bit on the feeding front.

Hope everyone else is ok and had a good night.

Not too bad here, although K a bit refluxy yesterday evening and at 3.30 a.m. feed - boo!

Also, Becky has croup and she was awake at 11.00 but fortunately the humidifier coupled with medised pacified her.

Sorry this is so quick, but we are supposed to be at friends at 10.30, and I am sat here in my dressing gown still!

Hope everyone has a good day, and will catch up later.

Lots of love

Morning all! not going to church this morning - Heathen that I am!! ..... cos DD2 has her Birthday Picnic & Play this pm and we want her to be as fresh as a Daisy to enjoy it properly!! So DD's 2 & 3 are safely tucked up in their cots & DH has taken DD1 to church with him ...... Bliss ..... Loads to do though .... ....

How is your cat Eddas??? Did he / she survive the op? Hope they are in recovery - Hit by a car - how horrid.

Morning, well cat still alive. She survived the op. Just had to tell the vet to let me know if their bill gets near the pay out limit as I can't afford to pay out really It's horrible to have to say that about paying for my cat to get better but the limit is £2,500 so that's a lot anyway. Fingers crossed they'll be able to help her within that amount but at £88 for a consultation last night I figured i'd better mention it. Good job we've got the insurance or I think we would have had her put down last night.

Indeed, hurrah for the Insurance! Glad she survived ..... .....

Oh Eddas, your poor cat! I keep meaning to get insurance for my two and juust haven´t got around to it but really need to pyt it back on the ´to do´list. Glad she´s going to be alright..

KHIN - thinking of you xxx

Only got a sec as about to go off to the MILs for sunday lunch and I want to get there a bit early to feed N before the hoards arrive. Feeding is a bit hard at the moment. N is screaming and screaming when he goes to latch on and sometimes it takes up to 20mins, and not just in the night anymore, it´s almost everytime . He´s still got the thrush, it doesn´t seem any better but the doc only gave us a prescription for 5 days and didn´t make any appt to check it had gone so now got to try and get an appt asap to get more medicine which means we have to break the treatment until that happens I´m finding feeding painful and really quite dispiriting but it´ll take more than that to beat me!! I am going to breastfeed the little sod if it kills me. Which at this rate, it just might

Ah, it´s not his fault, I feel bad that it´s such an uncomfortable experience for him and I don´t know if it´s my milk flow, his tongue tie, the thrush.. just feels like what can go wrong is going wrong. Bah. moan moan. Lucky I love him to pieces, hey? Chat later on xxx

Eddas - hope your cat is OK
maveta, sorry the bf is painful and difficult, hope it improves xx

Great positive attitude maveta - Don't wear yourself out though honey - Sounds like a BF counsellor could poss help you - Do you have that kind of thing where you are??? Hoepy ou enjoy your lunch - wish someone else was cooking for me .....

Hi katy!!

Stuck my head in to see how you're all doing....

"I am going to breastfeed the little sod if it kills me" - there's the spirit Are you having the tongue tie untied? (my godson had it done and he was soo much happier for it).

Hope you're all doing ok - I'm thinkin sore & exhausted but able to look at your babies and none of that matter.

xx

Hi Flamesparrow!

Wearing your socks again today!!

Right I only have two mins to type this, so sorry ladies I am going to have to do 2 threads in one message.

DD1 has been getting even worse with the crying now she is waking up when the Dt's wake up for their food and screaming the house down, we were up till 10pm then from 1am till 2.30 and then again at 5am
I don't know what to do with her she is driving me crazy, we are going to sleep downstairs with the the dt's tonight in an attempt not to wake her.
Not looking forward to today as I have a horrible grotty tired toddler to deal with
My mum and dad are coming over tomrrow and dh is having the day off so we can both try and get some sleep.

Oooggs hope things are getting better for you must be so hard with dh working evenings that is the worst time.
It is not you I'm being compared to it is my parents next door neighbours daughter who has 6 month old dt's.
i am so sick of everyone telling me how well she is doing

Twin mummies*
*Piximon- so sorry to hear what a rough time you are having aswell[hus].
Where abouts in london are you?
LG&T really hope you baby comes soon.

April mummies*
*SOSKL- hope B gets better soon
maveta- sorry to hear that you are having a tough time with bf, glad to hear that you sound so positive though.
eddas-I hope your cat starts to get better, it's horrible when they get ill like that.

Thank you all of you from both threads for all your support and kind words, if I didn't have MN to come and vent on I think I would have lost the plot by now.

Hi All,
KneeHigh - you sound like you are having a really rough time; I hope it all goes better for you soon.

Eddas - fingers crossed for your cat!

runny - gorgeous frock. Agree with (who??) that bronze shoes would be lovely.

I am not coping at all well. It's the same-old, same-old, ie DS1's reactions to the baby crying. Most of the time, I just about manage this as Gabe is a pretty chilled baby, but he has his moments, eg last night, he slept for three hours, kept me up for two, and then woke hourly for a feed. He has also screamed blue murder today. Poor thing does have painful wind and is a very hungry baby (I still feed all the time, essentially), but I am worn out with juggling. When I say DS1 freaks, I mean he FREAKS: really distressed stuff, not attention-seeking crap at all I really don't know what to do. All of the advice (telling him about crying babies, giving him jobs to do etc) works in theory, but the minute he is confronted by real full-on crying, all hell breaks loose. At Mother & Baby the other day, two other babies were crying and DS1 lost the plot. I was nearly in tears myself, and everyone felt really sorry for me. That was awful to see as well.

God, I only ever seem to come on here to post a variation of that message! I do read everything, and I am thinking of you all. I know my problems are NOTHING compared with the twin mummies'! To add to my mood, DP has been away for three days and I've had my mum staying, who is great but I am not great with her. Don't like myself around her, iykwim. Had a massive row this morning.

And my bladder stuff is still not sorted. I have a feeling I'll need surgery eventually to sort it.

Sorry, horribly self-indulgent! Don't suppose anyone has had time to read all that, but at least I could vent and that is always good
Love to all,
xx

afternoon all

glad you all agree on dress - ordered it last night and think I will go for brown/bronze shoes/bag etc. Thank you!

Had rubbish night last night - but with dh, not J or W and today isn't much better
He's been a bit like KHIN dh in that he'll do everything else apart from the mundane boring jobs that need to get done like hoovering, laundry etc. But what really started things was that he woke me last night to feed W, even though we had agreed that Saturday night is my "night off" Made sure there was enough EBM in the fridge etc..but he complained that he was exhausted. FFS! Had an argument which lasted for most of the morning, and in front of J, which I'm upset about esp when he looked as if he was going to cry

We are talking, just. But just feel very today. It really does feel like I have 3 children, not 2. And it feels like I'm going round in circles, when he asks "what do you want me to do?" and I'm like, why do you have to ask, don't you see the laundry baskets full, the crap on the floor etc...

got to go, W crying, and dh has selective hearing

Hi all, taken me a while to catch up with this! New thread since I was last around!

Eddas, hope your cat is ok. Thank goodness for insurance eh! My dog is insured as I know I couldnt afford a big vet bill either.

KHIN, I am sure that by the time your dts are 6 months old you will be doing great too just like the other mum. By then things tend to have settled down generally and you can start weaning etc so not so hungry babies. I know its easier said than done but try to ignore peoples crap comments. Definitely a time for the shit shield I think! Do hope you get time to rest very soon.

Runny, really like the dress, very glam!

Maveta, good on you for persevering with the feeding. Keep your spirits up girl, sometimes it just seems like everything that can go wrong just does doesnt it. (garbled sentence but I know what I mean!!)

CDSB, hope the party goes well today and your dd enjoys herself. You amaze me making the cake, ds got one from Asda! I can barely manage to cook meals for us never mind extras like a cake!

Katy, I really wouldnt worry about the dummy too much just now. If it gives T some comfort and you some sanity then just go with it.

Ange, echo what others have said about babes eyes. Probably nothing to worry about but I know much easier said than done. Cant remember how old your babe is. Dd does smile to order now but she is heading for 8 weeks now so probably older than yours? Sorry but I really cant remember who had their baby when!!

Bugmum, does your HV or GP have any suggestions on how to deal with your ds reaction to the crying? Surely they must have seen this before so may be able to suggest something different. Dont really know what else to suggest but feel for you as it must be so difficult to contend with. I find it stressful enough when dd is crying without ds joining in too!

Good night here last night. F settled by 10.15pm and didnt wake til just before 6am. She hasnt slept that long before so fingers crossed she is starting to drop the early hours feed. One question for the breast feeders. This morning my boobs were massive due to not feeding all night. She emptied one then the other about 1.5 hours later. Will the long time without feeding stuff up my supply? Just wondered as they feel quite soft now. I am sure one of you lovely ladies will have some idea of this for me. I am in unknown territory now as only actually fed ds up until week 5 when he became solely bottle fed.

Have a good day all xxxx

X post runny. Hope you can sort things out with dh. Its awful when there is an atmoshphere in the house isnt it. My dh can never see a full laundry basket either. He would leave sheets on the bed forever too, would never think to change it. Think its a male thing TBH.

Where did everybody go?

Just me talking to myself then!
I am very pleased with myself as I have actually managed to make a proper Sunday roast today (its the first time since F was born)! It was lovely too!

I'll just carry on chatting to myself eh?

Did someone say something?
Congratulations on the roast! I managed to do a load of cleaning and hoovering today - it feels so good to just be able to manage it!
