Hi all
Thank you so much for all your well wishes! Sorry I haven't posted yet - I'm reading on my phone while I'm feeding Eliza but I don't can't post long replies! The boys are just arriving back from a very soggy walk with DH so I'm going to have to rush off but here's my birth story and I've just posted an update at the end:
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/anno...girl-here.html
Yay zanacal! Ah such a cutie! All these new baby's are setting off the hormones again!
Mrs I lovely to see you here!!! My facebook for the ig site isn't my main one. I was super paranoid on such a massive site. Under my pet name. Anyone who wants to befriend me on fb please pm
Me. I'm not so paranoid now ;0)
X
Congrats Zanacal!! great news!
Mrs I, lovely lovely lovely to have you back in the gang :HH:
Charlie- you look amazing at that wedding, I'm going to one in a few weeks and am feeling HUGE, need some ideas on what to wear, where did you get your dress?
Had ds1's 5th birthday party/ day yesterday, totally great but exhausting, he is such a cutie and I can't believe he's so big. I'm totally knackered now after that and then having boys all day here in rain (being half term not being able to get my essential nap lol) so off to bed.
lots of love to you all and will catch up again soon :HH:
Hey Maybe, I'll pm you for FB xxQuote:

indigo - awww thanks i feel HUGE and for me i am bump wise! It was my BF wedding and even she said WOW you are big lol x i got my dress from asos but it was a while back - look in the sale maternity section its french connection £160 reduced to £30!!!
Inglewood - huge hugs for the colicy twinnies did you get anywhere with making an appointment to have them oestopathed or something? Have you tried massage? I used to have to massage ds1 every nappy change to help relieve his - he would be fine in the day till about 4 then hellish so if i massaged him in the day night was better x hope it eases soon x x
babymad - how are you doing x induction monday??? Thinking of you
Pinga - eeeeeeee am sure you will pop soon x loving the blanket must post a pic of my finished one x bet you cant wait to use it x
WAVES to all x well knackered as busy week lots of park trips, walks, wedding, baking midwife tomorrow to book in for homebirth! LOADS of BH painful now and not sleeping well = hormonal crying me GD back with force :( washing machine still not fixed i broke the iron yesterday knocking it off the board with my bump!! and today my phone died so had to have it sent off to be fixed - up to 14days and then pay for a crap replacement one as they had no loan phones.....grrrrrrr thats 3 things now so FX i get some luck now! - like a new washing machine before the weekend I WISH x
hugs to you all ladies x x big love x x off to bed now x x
Oh charlie, seems like not much going right for you at the moment and that is never going to help the GD. Wish there was something we could do to help! U don't live too far away so feel free to bring washing over! :) Cant wait for your little man to arrive as i just know he is going to make you so happy.
Ladies, im going to the wells area for a 2 week hol last week july and first week august so if anyone is around 21/22nd july, 28/29 jul or 4/5 Aug then i will obviously be there (with family or without as i can easily dispose of them for a day!). Failing that, if anyone is keen to come to my town (st albans), its really easy to get to as its on the M1 and i would be happy to arrange a lovely afternoon tea (we have a lovely local hotel that does amazing afternoon tea) for a different weekend followed by perhaps a night out if anyone keen to stay overnight. Not sure how it would work with kids/dads... i think a trip to the beach might be better for that! anyway just some thoughts as if we don't get the ball rolling it wont happen!
Zanacal... hows it going with dd? hope all well
Maybepink, so glad things looking to be back on track!
Hi everyone else X
Babymad, only another couple of days to go (unless he's already here of course!)! yay!!!!!
I've been wondering about Babymad too! Any news?
Charlie - you look amazing in every photo I see of you! That dress was a real bargain :D Wow, have you had some bad luck lately - I don't think you need the hormones excuse for all that to get on top of you!
It's utter chaos here, half-term really wasn't the best week for a new baby! DH took the boys out for a walk this afternoon and was gone for 3 hours!! I can't believe he made a 2 year old walk for that long over fields and through woods but apparently they all managed fine. The bigger two have just had a massive bust up over the right words for a rhyme (ip dip do, doggy done a poo, who stepped on it, it was you!!) and have woken the baby up. I don't think she's too fussed but as soon as she opens her eyes they're right there in her face so there's no chance of her going back to sleep! This morning Eliza had her heel prick test and I fed her while it was being done - after which she did the most amazing projectile vomit you've ever seen. I was covered in it, she was covered in it - and when I looked at DH he was sat on his phone reading work emails!! I still feel pretty crappy physically, I ache all over and feel weak and light headed. I hope it won't last much longer! I know next week will be much better and calmer once the boys are back at school and by the summer holidays I'll have a better handle on things. I feel like that was far too moany. It's weird when you've just had a baby because everything can be getting on top of you but at the same time you're elated with the new baby - and she's such a little sweetheart, bless her :D
Oh gosh Z, Lily is due the day the summer holidays start and you've just made me realise I'm going to have 3/4 kids with no get out for 6 weeks lol wonder if they will let me go six weeks over due lol
So glad that she seems to be doing well, hope u feel better soon and that the boys are being helpful :) I missed the pictures of her but I'm sure she is just lovely :)
Z my boys are like that with bubs - right in his face all the time - poor kid. I bet he is wishing he was the first child of a rich family!! Heehee! I'm really enjoying it now. A few weeks and you will feel tons better physically. Re your boys lol! Ah we can never be to smug even if we do graduate to smog status. With our lovely boys there will always be mud and talk of poo however many girls we have! If I had my dd my boys scrapping would stop me looking smug. She would be in the mosh of it pulling hair and wrestling too. But she would darn cute doing it. Your very lucky and I'm over the moon for you x
Deaks I have no idea where you live as geography is not a strong point but dh says St Albans is about sixty miles away - I thought it was Liverpool!
Charlie - my washing machine always breaks down after I give birth but not this time. I love washing, the only house work I have to do religiously. When my washing went I had to wait weeks for a new one. When the dish washer went dh was out the door in a flash and got a new one that day in the back of my car. Men!!
Packing up my baby bits today. Urgh hormones!! I want another, I can't help it. No more babies makes me sad. Doesn't help that my baby's are to darn cute. Dave was so cute in his bath today splashing like a wild thing. He makes me so happy. I am so blessed. I think I'm going to explode with happiness one day. Even with the mess and puke and poop. I just love it. Wish you could stop time or bottle feelings. As right now everything seems perfect.
Kell bad timing that you have all the kids with lily but the bonus is no excuse to get dressed or leave the house!
Maybe, yeah st albans def not too far away from you, charlie and a couple of others (though i cant remember who...oops!). In fact really easy to get to from any of the south east, london, east and midlands areas. Those who live far south or far north would definitely find it harder. Wells probably a bit of a mission for everyone other than those who actually live in Norfolk but well worth the trip if we are up for a weekend. Im easy though, what would everyone prefer and when are they free?
My friends with girls say they are just as bad with the playing in mud and talking about poo so don't reckon its much difference except they do it in skirts and wellies instead of trousers and wellies!!!
Deaks either sounds good with me. Summer hols would be better for the beach as we'd need a hotel it's to far for a one day drive with the kids x
I'm just up the road from you Deaks :)
I think I'm gonna have to leave you guys to do your planning and see if I can slot in. I'm due 22nd July. My dp is going away to south Africa for two weeks at the end of August so if anything then would probably be good for me, but would obviously be dependant on the new person arriving lol
Z, know what u mean! I had the twins day 2 of the easter school hols, so had almost 2wks of the boys at home... I'm still an a'fuzzy' dream-like state, physically feel about 90 and light-headed, waiting for it to get better, but it won't till they sleep all night, I get into a routine and loose a few pounds!
Def wouldn't make Wells, not sure where St Albans is???
Girls been on comfort milk for almost a week, 1st few days great, past 2 days awful, so gonna stop the colief drops and just try milk on it's own. Deaks did u notice it separating in the bottle??? weird!
Babymad, wow monday!!! must of missed that!
Charlie, pics on fb great! x
Funny how time goes by and where we are all at now.... was at the toilet today and saw some Ewcm and thought, must be ovulating!!! before my sway I'd never of known that..... made me think a year ago no I had just started my diet beg may.
definitely up for a meet up st albans isnt far for me x am bloody knackered just gutted the house x
babymad good luck thinking of you x x
Inglewood, st albans is in hertfordshire, literally just north of london. Yes the comfort milk will separate if left for any amount of time. DS2 was always a guzzler so that never really happened except if he left any. I guess just keep shaking it if the girls are slow feeders... and thats where the reflux bottles would come in handy as they would dispel the air bubbles caused by shaking before the girls drank it.Quote:

Ridiculous i know but its been really peeing me off this week that one of my tickers says... 'if baby is a girl....' It had better move on to the next thing soon or im gonna delete it! Does anyone else think gd has sent them slightly mad?!
Yep - what with hormones you can quite defensive ;0)Quote:

Just thinking if we did all drive to meet up how many would need dh there. They would all be thinking 'hmm his wifes mad!, hang on - my wifes barking bonkers too!'. Dh never reads this but still - do any of your blokes read this?
Yep my dh knows about this forum (though has never wanted to have a read or anything), thinks I'm bonkers and thinks you're all bonkers too! Saying that he did go along with the swaying and has said he will do the same with the pgd so I think that probably makes him somewhat bonkers too! I have to be honest, I don't think he would be hugely up for tagging along but again would probably do it if I wanted him to... Can you tell who wears the trousers in our relationship?!
Deeks - mine too! He thinks I'm nuts but he did thinking swaying would work so he's as crazy as me ;-) I do wonder if this will all come out in a divorce court one day lol! Dh was also asking his friend what Cyprus is like for our next holiday as well. I know he doesn't read this or he wouldn't be talking to me most days...
Ha ha! Hit the share button then - wth does that do??! Don't want to share this on fb. I would be even trouble with dh
My dp knows I am on a few websites but has no idea which ones and wouldn't read them either. He went along with swaying but was skeptical like us all, he thought I was crazy even before knowing about my Internet friends lol! And he thinks I'm even more mental when I meet up with 'my baby website' friend!
I'm pretty sure he would not come with me! Not his cuppa tea at all lol
Congrats Babymad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your little boy is just gorgeous, much love to you hun!! x x x
Made my day to log onto fb and see babymad has had her bubs and gorg he is too! congrats again hun! X
Congratulations Babymad!!So so happy he is here and birth was good, he is absolutely gorgeous, lots of love to you :HH:
Maybebaby- sorry to take so long to reply, I guess any left over bits and bobs would be useful. I hope you are not too sad getting sorted with stuff and getting rid of things ((hugs)). I know I will find it desperately hard. I'm fine with clothes generally as didn't get rid of anything from the ds's, I guess I knew there was a strong possibility number 3 would be a boy.
My dh has known about this thread since IG days and is really sweet about my 'efforts'. He knows I check in all the time and how this and all you ladies have been a part of my life for so long. He'll ask 'how is maybebaby pink baby-girl-mad' making up funny names for everyone! He was so onboard with the swaying and COULD NOT believe we were having ds3! He is happy about 3 boys but so sympathetic to me.
Deaks- yes, pregnancy is making me extra sensitive and slightly gd mad too! your boys are gorgeous btw.
charlie- I looked up the dress but they had sold out, will just have to improvise with what I have. I guess no one is expecting me to look especially great at 7months pg.
I'm near maybebaby and would love a meet up but like Kell, will have to play it a lot by ear depending on baby.
lots of love to you all
Congratulations babymad! What a cutie! Well done avoiding the induction too xxx
Congratulations Babymad, he's lovely! Sounds like it went really well for you too :-D
Deaks, id be defo up for travelling to North London, id prob bring dh and ds3 as id get lost on my own, probably end up in Wales or somewhere lol. When is a good weekend for everyone? Oooh exciting!!
I also noticed your ticker before you mentioned it, got to me too!
Keep thinking of you babymad, we need more pics of your gorge little man!!!
Zanacal, bless your boys, mine argue all the time, drives me insane! back to school tomorrow yippppeeee :-))
Gosh, there seems to be tons of babys due on here in the next few weeks!! Makes me broody lol x
Petal all these babies make me broody to and I still have a newborn - god help me!
CONGRATS babymad - whooooop whooop for no induction homebirth and a very beautiful baby boy <3 he is gorgeous
full term according to scan dates here now!!! Still no washing machine though so not too fussed if I have a few weeks left.....i may change my mind on that though ;)
awesome, i just wrote a short novel and accidently pressed return so now it's all gone! :hair:
Babymad ~ CONGRATS on the birth of your beautiful son! he is so gorgeous!!!! xxxx
what's been decided regarding the meet up? where/date/time?
afm, I do apologise for being so awol these days! I'm currently fighting to get my youngest son some speech therapy but everywhere I go I am met with "why dont you wait a while longer, all children are different" bla bla bla bla. I went to see the health visitors 3 months ago when i first raised my concerns but they didnt want to refer him any further and told me to wait and well, 3 months passed and I got tired of waiting! Booked an appointment to see the gp, thinking he would take me serious. I had to wait over 2 weeks for the appointment, only to be told that they don't do referrals for speech therapy, so i have to go back to the health visitors! I rang them this morning and they're on holiday (of course) for another 2 weeks.. I am sooooo frustrated that nobody takes my concerns seriously. The gp today did say it looks like ds2 has got dull ears so was kind enough to write a letter to the health visitors, prompting them to start an evaluation/examination. At least now they won't be able to fob me off again! If only someone would have took me serious 3 months ago! we would have then been well on our way of getting the help we need *big sigh* is it like this in all of the UK?
but on a positive note - we have cracked the potty training!!!! I now have 2 children out of nappies instead of just 1 :cheerteam:
Congratulations Babymad He's gorgeous. Great weight too!! :) Home birth too, amazing!
My Dh knows about this site and doesn't believe in swaying, says it's all chance...but he went along with EVERYTHING I asked, so he must of believed a small part of it would work?? He's not read anything, that I know of!! lol Thankfully after cursing him a few days ago....lol
I wish I could meet up, but too far with the kids, could maybe bring ds1/2, but the prob twins too much on my own just yet as I'd have to stay overnight, too much of a drive for me alone? or travel on the train all day. Dh might come and drive me down, but would stay out the way for the 'meet up'.
Inglewood if we go to wells dh might go with me as would make a trip of it but said he's locking himself in the hotel room or staying in the bar lol!
Sunset I have the same issues with ds. At 18 months I knew things was not right with him as he couldn't walk talk or understand. I still wonder if his a bit autistic. It took a year to be seen. He goes every six months with no help just told he's at the low end of normal - it will come. Guess what? He never did catch up! You get f all help in the uk unless you are a crack head- sorry but that's the way I see it. They look at me - middle class graduate and just think get on with it. Long long story with us. I have piling my hair out for years but have found out some useful things. If you have a sure start centre near you they were very very helpful with advice for me. 100 times better then salt or pead. Sorry feeding now so typing left handed on phone. Also mums net was ace for advice - any problems you can ever have with kids in the uk there are some people been there and done it on that site (also lots of nutters too but the salt advice was great) let me know if I can help and I will dig out some info for you x
Hi Girls...
Thanks for all your lovely messages, means a lot xxx
Still in shock that he is here and he arrived at home!!! I was so prepared (but fed up) to be induced again so delighted I finally got a home birth - it was amazing. Baby is a bruiser :) His head is very swollen at the moment so hoping that eases soon, none of the others had that so seems strange!!
I'm not breast feeding and feel very relieved not to have the pressure - i did try but with all mine and its never really happened - I haven't given up this early before but I didn't have 3 other kids to look after before - we don't have any family to help so I can't just sit and feed all day whilst someone helps out - I have to do everything so I have to be organised!!
Sorry I didn't catch up with you all before he arrived - I didn't have a good couple of weeks to be honest.
Very pleased he is here now and it was lovely to have so many lovely comments on FB too :)
Will catch up properly soon - it is great to know I have you all close by xxx
Lovely to hear from you babymad! So glad birth was such a positive experience and i definitely think you are doing the right thing not breast feeding...it just doesn't suit everyone. Mind you i am one of the (dare i say it) few pro-bottle people in the world! Cant wait to hear the full story and also how you are feeling about it all now. He really is lovely and i hope the swelling settles soon. Your dh and ds1 look so happy in the pics, cant wait to see one of you with him soon :) Enjoy these early days and keep as posted when you can. Much love from our end! X
