Good luck, ladies.
Crikey, how is it July already? Eliza is a whole month old tomorrow, time has flown! Only 3 more weeks until the summer holidays though, yay! Inglewood - have your boys broken up for the summer already?
Charlie - is your due date today? When did the bigger boys arrive? Not that that's necessarily a good indicator based on how late I went this time around! Any niggles? I can't wait to see your new addition. He's bound to be gorgeous like his big brothers!
hi ladies :)
Babymad ~ what is tapatalk on iPhone and how does it work? i might have to download it to my iphone as i find it so hard to find the time to actually sit down with my laptop to log on here. How are you doing with the babyblues? any better?
Maybebaby ~ wow your stories regarding your mil are so shocking! i dont know how you put up with her.. :S you must be super woman! yes you're right, it's bloody frustrating with the speech issues and trying to get some help... i try to stay positive - at the end of the day my son is not even 3 yet but it's just the fact that i know something is not right and the fact that no one takes me serious, it gets very frustrating... they all just take a look at him and say "well, he understands you, there's nothing wrong with his development - he might just be a late talker, let's wait some more " aaarrrrggghhh! for christ sake, he IS talking, just no one else understands him!.. NO, no more waiting! i should stop complaining to you as i know you know just how frustrating it is! i wish these 6-8 weeks could hurry up so we can get the hearing test out of the way and know for sure if that's what's causing all the trouble. i'm saving up in the meantime for some private speech therapy to run alongside nhs when and if we need it :) How's your little boy doing with his speech?
Zanacal ~ wow a month!! that's gone fast :) she's so cute!! how's she sleeping for you? how's the feeding going?
wishing4pink ~ hows your hubby doing now? how did it go with your attempt?
mrsincredible ~ i wish i could help but I know nothing of the LE diet.. when are you planning to start ttc?
charlie ~ any moment, any day now :D i can't wait for the pictures!
deaks ~ 24 weeks already! how are you enjoying your pregnancy?
Hello to everyone else!!! Serena is 6 month old today! i can't believe how fast it's gone by. She's started pushing herself up on her knees and hands so i'm pretty sure she's not far of crawling :) i'm gonna start introducing solids to her now as well.. its been so long i did any weaning i can't remember how to go about it lol any tips?
Hi all! Never did really catch up on posts on the june thread but going to be better on the july thread!
Sunset, i too cant believe dd is 6 months old... wow! I am planning to do pgd when ds3 is 6 months old... do you reckon you could cope with getting pg with number 4 at this stage? (mind you a OHW is pretty unlikely with pgd by the sounds of it!)? I keep remembering back to when ds2 was little and i felt ready to try at 6 months (not that it happened nearly that soon) but perhaps its different with number 4!
Babymad, lovely to hear from you.... glad you managed to talk to dh! keep doing that... though i know in the past you have said you find it hard to open up. The photos you put up of ds4 are just gorgeous!!
Zanacal, isn't time flying!! i hope dd is being good for you. She too looks gorgeous in photos!
At last i have a pregnant looking belly! Will sort out a photo at some point. Am secretly relieved i haven't exploded with ds3 as i cant imagine lugging any more around. Oh and tmi, but god i feel horny with this baby! perhaps its the after effects of a week with mr grey... not that i actually fancied him much!
Hi everyone else!
Hi uk ladies, I am going for an attempt this month so just wanted to say hi!! I have just started my represh and have started hubby on his abstain period, going for a two day cut of this month and have had a plan from atomic so here goes, trying to relax but feel very nervous...x
Lmao Deaks! God this pregnancy I've been so off sex, with ds2 I was like a rabbit, this time I really feel for dp as he has probably Only got some about 5 times, bless him!
Z and sunset where does the time go! It seems like yesterday both of the girls were born lol
Babymad so glad you and dp managed to have a better weekend :)
Charlie hope all is well :) can't wait to hear your little man has arrived!
Nothing much going on here just on the count down!
Good luck with your sway missgozo :)
Hi missgozo! GL with ur attempt! x
Hi everyone, read the rest of the June thread earlier and my daft brain is trying to remember what you all said, so excuse me if I forget anyone!! lol
Maybe and Sunset, my ds2 was a slow talker, well everything really. Didn't walk till 19mths and had a speech therapist till he was half way thru primary one, which was Dec 2011. It has made a HUGE difference being at school and from the end of nursery and starting school at just 4yrs old he's done so well. He still gets words mixed up, but eveyone can understand him now. I insisted at nursery he saw a SALT and they referred him within 6wks, so we were lucky. Maybe, ur MIL is some woman, but keep your head high and hope she never repeats her behaviour from that visit last year!! Your ring is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! my dh has never bought me ANYTHING after having the kids :( you lucky lady!
Sunset, where has 6mths gone??? The girls are 3mths tomorrow!!
Deaks, u look fab in ur bowling pics... glad your wee bump is 'wee'... your boys are gorgeous!
Babymad, glad u and Dh got a chance to talk, remember not so long ago I posted that Dh and I were arguing alot, guess that's the way it goes around that time post baby for alot of couples, men just don't get us!! They aren't programmed to! lol Shame, life would be so much easier, I'm hoping to grow my little men into sensitive ones... my dh is like a robot...shows no emotion and I hate it.
Charlie, due date!!! come on bubs!! x
Kell, wow less than 3wks.... have u got a name? You don't have to say, just wondered if u had chosen one yet?
Wishing, what a time of it!! hope all goes well this mth x
MrsI, I posted my sway, but did the IG diet. x
Well, feeding time around here...have to go. School hols now on day 6 and it's rained almost 24/7, such a shame!! Girls are 3mths tom, bought a 3d casting kit to do, so wish me luck!! nite xx
Wow so much to catch up on - will try not to forget anyone. I get a ring for each baby! Did feel a tad guilty as it cost a bit but I soon got over the guilt lol! Mil will be here in about ten days. Let's see what happens. I am so quite, palcid and shy really - but i let so much pass over my head that when it builds up I explode. Not good and going mental and swearing in front of my boys wasn't my best moment. Deep breaths!
Kell not long now. Me and dh had one encounter when I was pg, after two years of ttc I have had a lifetimes worth of sex crammed into a few months. It's no fun now as there's no baby at the end lol!
Deeks must go on fb and see your bump! How you feeling? I keep thinking if I have another it had better be soon! But when I think about the positives and negatives they don't weigh up. Dh got a promotion and his pay rise news today was shockingly crap so another step away from a four bed house.
Miss Gozo - good luck! I remember the days! I was so nervous. X
Sunset - I'm beyond fed up with the speech things. Read ds2 nursary report which says he is fine but about a year behind and salt have no concerns (not how I read the salt reports!) salt have sent my last report which say he has problems retrieving info. His teacher goes into nursary tomorrow just to see him. I'm beyond confussed now
Babymad - just keep onntalking to dh. Men just don't get it. My dh can be great but really they don't have the hormones we do. He is listening which is great, it shows he's cares a great deal about you. I'm sure your a lucky lady.
Kell and indigo - I hope your bags packed! I pack mine at 30 weeks and it's so important to do it then for me. Unfortunately that came in handy twice!
Mrsincredable- any idea what your going to do re swaying?
How's pinga, chocolate, littlemiss and lavender getting on?
Inglewood I don't know how you cope with two. This week I am giving up breast feeding (do this every week as it keeps me going strangely) my little chunk is so clingy now. He never sleeps during the day if we are home. If he was twins I would have Velcro suit made. I can't be hoovered with my appearance or to get out. I just want to turn feral. It's hard work (but lovely) these last few weeks
Sure I have forgotten someone? Big hugs to all
Hoovered? Blasted iPhone auto correct! Maybe that's the answer. Run the Hoover over myself once a week....
Maybe, I have NO idea how I do it either tbh. I'm shattered, so shattered that I'm taking dizzy spells. One happened in front of the HV when the girls got their 2nd inj last wk and she said she would phone me this wk and if they weren't any better she would get me a dr appt. I'm eating enough, so I'm either thinkning yeah, exhaustion or (nurse in me) that I need to get my blood count checked out as it's not been done since the day after my c-section (which I disagree with, should be done 48hrs after for a true reading).
Maybe, sure you will make the right deciscion re: BF or not. It's a toughie, but you have done so well to lhave lasted as long as you have, my hat off to you all BF mammas, for however long you do it. My ds1 got 4 days and ds2 almost 4wks.
The girls seem to have settled a bit better on SMA gold, colocynth granules and infant gaviscon. although, they were prescribed 2 sachets of the gav each feed and I found out yest that althought they are over 10lbs, for 2 sachets they need to be taking 225mls of milk and they only take 180mls (approx) so they have been double dosing for a week. eek! bloody dr should of asked me that, or the pharmacist. I called to ask today and they said "give as directed" I said "where on the script or back of the box" she said box! nightmare. They are still constipated, so maybe it was too much gaviscon as my dad says it constipates him, wait and see as it might be the SMA???
Maybe I'm the same with my appearance at the moment, I know no one really expects much as I'm so pregnant but seriously i look awful, I spend most of the time in dp's jogging bottoms as well so I look and feel like a manky chav :(
I can't wait to have my body back and to loose some weight!
I've only just sorted my hospital bag, and to be honest there's a few little bits that still need to go in there! Had a bit of a scare the other night so now I'm sorting all the boys bits in case it happens over night or a little bit early, hey a girl can dream right!
It's weird this time, I've never been worried about my waters breaking in bed before but this time it's been playing on my mind, so I've been and brought pads for the bed just in case, I wonder if it's intuition :S
Inglewood I can't believe the girls are 3 months old! I've still never seen a picture of them lol, glad things seem to be settling down a little :)
Actually now you mention your and dp arguing and also Babymad it makes me glad that my dp is going away for two weeks! She will be about 4ish weeks at that point!
Yep we have a name for her, she will be either Lily Rose or Lily Elizabeth
missgozo, good luck hun! let us know how it goes!
Maybe, loving your ring, very thoughtful!
Inglewood, how are the girls getting on with their new milk/gav? Thanks for lovely comment about my bowling pics. You cant tell im pg there mind you. Will get a better shot soon!
Kell, you have every right to be lounging around in dps jogging bottoms! Hope you aren't kept waiting too long!
Charlie, come on bubs! Will you get a sweep at some point?
Hi everyone else! Lavender, how is wedding prep going?
thank you for all your messages everyone, makes me feel betterx
Missgozo - do you have a teenager? (siggie) I bet that would be a nice gap and you will have a willing helper for your little ones. A mum at baby group has six kids. Three adults / late teens and three little ones. Said her and dp has had a family twice over. I felt a bit envious but alas I left it to late to do that (unless I start again when I'm past fifty! Lol!
Deaks, they are alot better! still not as settled as I wish they were, but better. They smile alot more and seem more content. Although DD2 started to teeth big time, chewing her fist in her sleep tonight :( got the Amber bracelets as gifts, so will put them under their socks tom to see if it helps. I know alot of mums swear by them.
My dizziness turns out to be Labrithitis (thought so) had it so so bad 3 yrs ago where I had the dr on-call in to give me an injection as I vomited for 4 days and was so dehydrated. Got stemetil so FX it doesn't get any worse, esp now with 2 babies. ds1 was 6 and ds2 was 2 when I last had it last time and that was bad enough.
Off to bed hope u all had a nice day, not long till the meet up, shame I can't go :(
Ds2 had his settling in session at school today. I feel so sad. Thought it wouldn't be this tough as he's my second but I feel upset. Must remember some kids never get the chance to grow up and go to school. Some of the kids names - I almost laughed at one. If I have another kid I'm calling it marmite or stirfry. I like quirky names but omg I think some of these parents have been on the crack pipe.
Charlie where is your baby???!!!
Hi Ladies,
Dp is feeling better now, although finger still sore. I'd love to see him deal with child birth, esp after all the moaning !!! Attempt went well i think, always think of things you could have done different after but pretty happy with it. Thought i had messed up my O+12 attempt but yesterday fertility friend backed me up. Already looking at improving the next attempt and hopefully dp wont do anymore damage.
Charlie - hope your bubba doesn't keep you waiting for long.
Missgozo - good luck with your attempt this month.
Inglewood - Hope you get better soon, esp with your little girls and boys to look after.
Kell - Not long now, how exciting!
x
Oh wishing when are you due to test? We need some more bfp's :)
Hopefully I will have a bfp soon,af is due a week today,do I am about 3 weeks away from 1st try:.)
I'm 4dpo today Kell, was just wondering to myself when i should start testing
x
Good luck wishing x
I guess it will depend which test type you have wishing, I haven't tested before 12dpo but that's more so I don't drive myself crazy peeing on a stick lol!
I believe Deaks had bfp's at around 9/10dpo with Internet cheapies?
Ynwa I bet your getting excited about your sway coming up soon :) good luck when the time comes!
Hi ladies
How are you preggies ?
Good luck missgozo with your attempt!
Good luck wishing, I got BFP with my last pregnancy from around9/10dpo with a First response
Sunset, your little lady is 6 mths already wow
Inglewood glad your little ones are getting more settled :)
A huge hello to everyone xxxxxxxxxx
Kell I can't wait,I am like a child at Christmas counting sleeps tee hee.:.)
Hi girls!
My broadband has been down for 2 weeks and FINALLY resolved today so I couldn't let you all know before but DS3 was born on 25th June. After all the complications - bleeding at 15 weeks, low lying placenta and then cord presentation/worry of cord prolapse - all of which disappeared by 38 week scan - I finally got my home birth, the experience I REALLY wanted and he came in to the world in my lounge, eagerly watched by DH, my wonderful mum and my lovely midwife (this time had one midwife all the way through and made such a difference to the whole experience).
He is so beautiful (I am biased of course), he looks the spitting image of DS1 and the boys have taken to him well, particularly the eldest. I feel so very blessed and maybe because of all the problems I went through feel very protective over him and wouldn't swap him for 5 girls! xxxx
Awww maybe! Huge cOngratulations Hun that's amazing news! So glad you got your home birth and you sound just smitten with him :)
Huge congrats Maybepink, so happy for you that you got the birth you wanted. He sounds gorgeous, I'm glad you are loving it all. Wonderful news! :HH:
Congrats maybepink!! yeh for the home birth too!! xx
Kell, know ur not on fb, but next time I see ur online here I will post a few pics then delete them. x
Wishing, wow ur attempting now.....so happy u have started and wish u lots of love and luck...
Better go Dh waiting for me to watch dynamo that he sky + earlier. nite x
I just wrote a really long post and its been lost!!!Grrrrrrrr!!!!
Congrats maybepink!!! lovely to hear that after all the problems you had, you got the birth you wanted and are so besotted with ds3! X
I will try again!
Myabepink ~ Many congrats hun - great to hear you got your homebirth! Hope you are both doing well xx
Inglewood ~ Pleased the girls are doing better x 3 months already, can't believe it!
Charlie ~ Are you over now? Hope bubs arrive soon x
Deaks ~ Hows bump? Any names yet? Things are better with DH thankfully. We are normally a very open couple - he's my best friend. But I think over the last 18 months we've lost our way a bit. I think it all started when I MC after doing PDG which was in the Oct and then DH's mum passes away in the Dec so we were both grieving for our own losses and I wanted to be there for DH so I didn't really deal with my loss too well I don't think. And then I started the IG diet and we were ttc and then I fell pg...with a a boy...its all taken its toll on us but hopefully we can start to get back to normal now.
GL Wishing!
Sunset ~ You can download tapatalk on your iPhone, and add forums. It is good for checking posts and replying etc.
Maybe ~ I was more emotional about DS2 starting school - just because I didn't think he was emotionally ready with being a May baby but he's had a great reception year and I am so sad its come to en end!
Ok better get some jobs done!...oh before I go any advice/tips for winding?? Beck really struggles to wind and its taking ages to feed to him. He is still feeding every 3 hrs so not much time in between feeds. I have used infacol but no good, going to try gripe water today.
Forget to say.....SO FED UP with the rain!! There was me thinking how lovely it will be to have a summer baby...sitting in the garden with a cuppa! What a joke!
Its only Mr Grey thats keeping me sane! :)
Tell me about it Babymad, this weather is truly depressing now!!! Hope it improves for the holidays. I'm glad you and dh are getting back on track now. I'm trying not to buy the Mr Grey books and hopefully get them for my bday this month. Hope the gripe water works for little Beck.
Congratulations on your little boy maybepink! So pleased you got your home birth.
Thank you Inglewood, can't believe your little girls are 3 months already.
Hello to everyone else, hope your all ok
x
Hey babymad,
my grandma taught me a brilliant way to wind when i had ds1. Sit him on your lap and supporting his body (and head obvisouly) move his body in circles. Every so often lift him off your lap while holding him in the same way to stretch out his body and then sit him back down and continue the circles. It was the only way to get huge burps out of my two!
Really does sound like you and dh have been through a rough time the last couple of years. Swaying alone definitely took its toll on me and dh.
Really annoying mum in ds's swimming lesson today asked me if i knew what i was having (she already knew i had 2 boys) and stupidly i said boy even though i could easily have said that i don't. She super sarcastically said oh lucky you, 3 boys. I just replied well i feel lucky but i have had some very strange responses. She soon shut up but it put me in a bad mood the rest of the lesson. Silly cow with her pp!
Anyway, happy cos its friday and we have just baked some yummy treats for the weekend and i always have a take away and dvd with dh on a friday :)
Yay congratulations maybe! Glad you got homebirthand your smitten.
Deeks went to baby group today and someone p'ed me off a bit. Asked if would have anymore,I said maybe and she said something about a fourth boy which p'ed me. Then assumed I didn't work and told me to get a council house. I'm sure it was all innocent and things normally go over my head but it was on my mind a lot today. I guess people make assumptions and she was way off second guessing me. I should find it funny really.
Hi ladies, mean meaning to pop on here for bloody ages!!!
Congrats to pinga and maybe!!!! so glad you are enjoying your new little bundles :-)
Will have a read through the posts, i have TONS of catching up to do!!
