she's already thinking about baby number 4

thanks go to littlelapin for the title

At long last its not just me, felt like I was whispering away quietly to myself in the naughty corner! Its amazing how getting a bit of housework done can make you feel good isnt it! Feels like such an accomplishment at the moment.

Yes, every time I do it I think it might be the last time for a while!

I've cleaned the bathroom properly today and scrubbed the kitchen floor. DH has been chucking junk out of the spare room and reorganising the junk we can't be parted from. It's much easier to do house stuff when there are 2 of you home IME. George has been quite screamy and clingy at times this week but it's easier at weekend when we can take it turns to comfort him.

We all went out for lovely walk in park today as well. Love weekends

Just popping in, and have missed half the other thread as we were away at a wedding yesterday.

Mammyjo - no, your supply will be fine, it will just adjust to when she needs it, although I think once they are going through the night you do tend to be pretty full up in the morning. I seem to remember with DD1 that that's when I expressed - from the side she didn't feed from first thing.

Bugmum - sorry you are still having a rough time, both with your recovery and with DS1. I often feel sorry for my DD1 as there are certain points in our day which are pretty unavoidably noisy, but luckily she seems to mind much less than I do. I can't imagine what I'd do if she found it upsetting. I guess the only thing to cling on to is that gradually the crying will get less?

Twinmummies - you are both amazing and have my admiration. And yes, I know that's not actually any use . . . ! At the wedding yesterday there was a lady on our table who was 35 weeks with twins, and she looked mightly uncomfortable!

We survived the wedding - even managed to enjoy some bits! DD1 was a lovely flower girl (made me cry!), and DD2 was good as we were holding her all day (cue loads of comments about how she was so good, the perfect baby etc ). We even managed a dance with all four of us, before making a speedy exit with two exhausted children at about 9.30. Feel pants today, but it was worth it IYSWIM!

hi all, quick post whilst d is lying in moses basket staring at the curtains! My first post with 2 hands since i had him i think!

Am feeling bit really. Dylan was weighed last week at 25 days and is only 8lb 9, 4.5 oz less than his birth weight still. Have started thread about it but not much response (although it was from mears and tiktok so prob cant get much better!) and advice really to wait and see. Feel like bit of a failure, i know i shouldnt but i do. And very exhausting and frustrating having to be sat feeding so often. M and n are taking full advantage and running riot. Dp has been away since fri am, well thurs night when he went to wrk, on a stag do in newquay. Got back about half 5 and has now gone to bed before he goes to work tonight. Am starting not to care whether he's here or not though which prob aint a good thing.

Dylan had hip scan on friday, anything between 50 and 60 they re-scan and one of his hips was 55 the other was 56 so we have to go back in june. DD had scan and was fine, ds1 had scan and one hip was just over so had rescan which was fine so i shouldnt worry but it does worry me abit that both are over and more so than ds1 was.

Oh and have now finished antibiotics but still have pain in womb on occassion and related back ache and bleeding bright red blood which just when i think i should do something about it it stops but then keeps starting again and im fairly sure it shouldnt be by now.

So all in all feeling pretty crap and stressed by things but hoping it will all start to get better and ill pick up soon.

Sorry very self pitying moany post and not read anything else yet properly. Hope all are well and sorry thats the most personal i can get at the mo!

hello

off to catch up ...................

that didn't take too long

mother been and gone, i'm going down there next weekend then that'll be it for another 6 months

not much else going on here, haven't seen Stephen this weekend, or even heard from him much, so feeling a bit lonely

and I managed to get sunburn

oh yeah, Ange, i've started by period too and I'm breastfeeding

Well me and dh are talking to each other in a more civilised manner this evening. Tbh J can take credit because he's had us in stitches this afternoon

Question for the bf pros. Can I get pregnant while bf? (def not going to happen tonight lol) but would be good to know, until I have coil fitted.

you can indeed runny, so play careful now

ellie, is DaisysGotABigBump DaisyMoo? or are they different? Was she pregnant?

Am in

Dh has just said that if he's not busy in work tomorrow, he's going to ask for the day off, to give me a proper break

Think I need a lie down.....

Don't care if he can or can't get the day off, (would be lovely if he didn't work tomorrow) just him saying it, means that he's thought about it, and more importantly, he's thought about me!

no, they're not the same person Katy

she's got 4 already

aw runny that's fab

Hi ladies, just dropping in before I head to bed.

Eca, really glad your cat is ok. Hope she continues to recover.

Pesha, huge hugs to you, you sound so down.

Runny, glad you and dh have made up.

CD, hope the party went well.

Cannot remember anything else - braish is MUSH!

K been ok, but hell this evening. Screaming in pain which I found so upsetting - not to mention worrying. I just hate not knowing what is wrong, but am still sure it must be mild reflux.

Emmymummy, can you tell me what symptoms Em had?

Hope everyone else is ok.

Need to run.

xx

runny - it sounds as though he's trying
Was it you saying you were irritated that he just couldn't see the washing up that needed doing and the junk to be tidied? Dh is exactly like that, he is obsessed by dusting and hoovering - once that is done (and he's perfectly willing to do it) he is happy the house is "done" - the kitchen can be a tip and the bathrooms disgusting, bins overflowing etc. I genuinely think he just doesn't see the problem
Having said that I can't complain, since I've had T he's been really good, I've had to tell him what needs doing, but he's done it without complaining.

i sussed my housework problem,

I agreed to let my brother bring his mates to my house on friday afternoon, I went to gran's for a few hours

he did the cleaning in return, while i sat and watched

Sorry, that post took about half an hour as the phone kept ringing!
Thanks Ellie!
SOKL, sorry to hear K is still in pain. It's horrible when they're screaming and you can't help

Has taken me yonks to read all -

Bugmum & pesha - extra big hugs xxxxxx

SOKL - with the windy baby thing LOL - if you are bf then may be worth thinking about what you eat - I have stopped eating tomatoes, grapes, orange juice, coffee and anything spicyish/acidic - but those in particular and it has had a huge effect.

I have a really sore throat and feel a bit peaky - nothing too bad though. Just one of those days where you think a full nights dleep would be bliss.

Had some really bad news about a friend yesterday - do not read on if feeling fragile - a friend have known through toddlers for about 4 years has 4 children - really lovely - but very sadly and rather distressing - the youngest drowned in a pond at her friends house the other week - he was 20 months old. I am so shocked about it - ds2 nearly drowned in a pond at the same age (long story) so know how easy it can happen - just makes me realise again how lucky we are. I haven't seen them since a christening back in October - she split up with her dh and moved since then.

Sorry to freak anyone out - just needed to share with you.

still not had tea - dh on it!

Does anyone here feel like they need a life back? The last week I have really felt that I need to go out with friends or go and meet new people - feel that life has been on hold since august and I need to find some like minded people - so have booked myself into some baby massge, postnatal exercise and baby group classes....

Oh no How awful
I don't need any reminder of how lucky I am, my mind races with all the awful things that could happen and I just feel so grateful that it hasn't.
I know what you mean about getting life back. I have the urge to exercise - not like me at all!

Hope you're OK octo - this kind of news must have affected you quite badly as well.
I can't even imagine what your friend's going through

WCL - aahhhhh the magic fountain I'm cool with that!

on mon/tues/weds ds2 does half days so its a bit tricky with having to get back for ds1 and school - but could get there for 12.30 and leave at 3.00 on those days. On thurs/fri just me and ds3 as ds2 at playgroup all day.

I would prefer not to take my ds2 to Mall as any form of shop or shopping centre induces hysteria but would be okay if there is room in the creche (yes, I am one of those mummies!)

Would be best after half term - let me know xxx

PS PLEASE COME ALONG AND JOIN US - ALL WELCOME

aw octo
really does bring home that these things can happen to anyone, tho we're all guilty of thinking it won't happen to us

I too am feeling I need a life, actually said as mch to a friend last week, he told me it was my fault for having a baby, very honest of him! he did then offer to babysit tho so i didn't stay for long

Matthew goes away for 2 weeks with daddy on 15th June so I have organised my gran to have Joe overnight and i'm going out with Cath and a load of lads on a stag do

as for baby massge, postnatal exercise and baby group classes....

rather you than me

sorry to anyone that likes going, guess i'm just not much of a joiner, or an exerciser!!!!!!!!!!

oh 8 legged one, did you get my email?

Thanks Katy - I;m fine I think really it has made me even more vigilant than usual - esp with the little girl going missing in portugal - things can happen so easily. I have always left the pushchair outside my front door with them in if asleep but now I move him round the back and lock the gate. Sometimes feel like am a bit potty!
