Brilliant news Nikki- you must be so relieved xx

Had a lovely morning with LO...happy, giggly laughing....3pm arrives and he decided to have a hissy fit. 85 mins later he decides he'll take a nap. That was a long screaming session and I am officially knackered...

Think I may have to have a glass of wine tonight!!!

 

[AmyQ]

Oh Chezza it's rubbish isn't it. I'm finding that trying to settle Evan usually takes longer than his actual nap. Although he has been fairly grumpy all day again...

I really thought we had turned a corner, having had such a good day yesterday!

Sorry to hear Evan is being a grumpy monkey too

I really do hope that after this current LEAP / growth spurt (if that's what it is of course!) is over that we all have a well earned break from this behaviour! I feel terrible saying that, but I would really love my happy smiley baby back! Fingers crossed for both of us! xx

My poor baby went mad screaming when I tried to give her to my mother in law so I could go running. What age do they get clingy & want only their mum? I thought that came later?
Although, she's meant to be in the middle of a leap so maybe that's why she wants me the whole time?

Hectic morning, but good news, the hole is closing and should be gone by the time we have another check in a years time, horaay! He wasnt too keen on the sticky pads and then the cold gel though, but he was just a bit whingey so all good
Luckily the doctor had a toy to distract him

Fab news x

 

[Petit Pois]

That's great news Nikki x

Tapatalking!

 

[vinandbella]

Brill news nikki!

Well we seem to have avoided the screaming session following jabs! She's had 2 lots of calpol and is tired and crabby but no screaming *touch wood*

Thanks everyone
Been for my first run today, and my god it was hard, i just did 5k with walking intervals. The heat was pretty awful but we have a nice wooded park with a signposted run, and not too much direct sun. But it was pretty up and down and i struggled! However, i feel glad that i have made a start to get back to fitness and was very pleased that my boobs and belly didnt wobble too much or hurt, lol! I have lost 24kg since giving birth, but diet alone is not going to shift the rest and i have loads of really lovely clothes i want to wear again! Just 6kg to prepregnancy weight now, although my body will never be the same of course. Carrying twins sucked

Glad to hear Santi is well! You have done so well hun, i.accumulated 20 kgs over 2 pregnancies, it sucks. I was lucky to escape with a couple of tiny stretchmarks(2 cm) from this pregnancy but its looking quite bad still. I still have about 16 kgs to lose so you have done amazingly well.

Hope babies sleep well for all of you, my toddler is off to the nursery tomorrow, yay!

Tapatalking so cant see signatures

Well ladies im led here wide awake as I'm crapping myself about what today might bring. On Wednesday I had to go for a blood test because since I had my miscarriage in July I've been bleeding on and off since then. But when I'm off its only for like a day at most and then it starts again with (TMI) clots etc. the doctor wanted to check my hcg levels and also wanted to check for anaemia. Anyway if it comes back positive for hcg I've got to go for an emergency scan to see what's going on. Also he had a feel and could feel a lump. Now he wasn't sure if it is from my c section or something else. Anyway he said if I had any retaining 'product!' They would have to remove ASAP to reduce the risk of infection. Really upsets me that they call it product!! I wanna shout at them and say 'it was a baby'!!! But I didn't and won't. Anyway just wanted to share what was happening in my world. Oh and along with that I'm packing for 3 people today. As well as running a thousand errands, going to the dentist and getting my hair cut!! Busy busy day. I will pop back on tonight to let u know what happened. Xxxx

Hi ladies Scott's woken up for an unexpected early morning bottle so just catching up a bit.

Great news Nikki! Such a massive relief I bet x

Just noticing that Scott drinks less than most other babies his age, he still only ever has 5oz per feed and usually wastes an ounce of that!. He is completely content though, sleeps fine and is generally a happy little man so he is certainly getting enough to fill him up. Maybe he just has a small appetite? I'm tempted to get him weighed again, he is definitely putting on weight but isn't podgy at all. He has his last injections next Wednesday so might just see how much he has gained then.

I can't believe he's already 16 weeks old! Where has the time gone? I remember being 22 weeks pregnant and thinking "16 weeks to go"and it seemed like a bloody lifetime away! He's already getting to big for his 0~3 month sleep suits so has to wear 3-6 month ones with legs obviously to big for him lol. There's just no in between, they're either to tight or to big.

Nearly at my first goal weight now too! I was 12st 7 the day I had Scott so I set my first goal at 10st 7, currently at 10st 9 wooop! My next goals will be dropping half a stone at a time hopefully down to around 9st. I've been doing so much walking to try and loose the flab, trying to achieve around 8+ miles a day and currently "learning"to jog lol. Bought a treadmill last week so I can get my stamina up to jog outside without feeling like a fat breathless fool haha and I use it every day. Jogging is just so hard though! I'm trying to start off easy and jog for 2 mins walk fast for 3 mins and keep that going x5 but omg, after the 3rd jog I'm just dying! I'm sticking at it though, my aim is to jog for between 30 mins and an hour every day, something that atm seems impossible because just a few minutes is a killer

I'm so determined though, I want to stay fit for Scott. I had my other children in my teens and early 20's so I'm going from being one of the youngest at the school gates to one of the oldest and I refuse to be old and fat! Age is something I can't do anything about but I'm gonna shift this flab if it kills me!

This time last year I was a 30+ a day smoker living on coffee and playing world of warcraft every day, how my life has changed! Completely for the better ofc

Good luck at the docs brand new, i hope everything is ok xxx

Go tambo, i never used to run until i got the bug a couple of years ago, and i was shocked at how quickly i improved when i stuck at it. Its so hard at first, but stick at it!

Reasonable night here, lina slept from 9-6 and santi slept until 4 before he ended up in the bed with us feeding nd sleeping. All up and about at 8:30

 

[vinandbella]

Go Tambo!

I'm starting running next week, podcasts downloaded had to get different ones to what I used last time. My initial target is a stone to get me down to what I was when I found out. Then trying for another half to get me to 10st.

Madam woke up when I put her down and had just fallen back to sleep on my knee.

Lazy day today apart from a walk once the postie has been with my kindle

Yeah to all the running ladies!
I've got my first triathlon since having the baby tomorrow. Am only doing a family relay with OH & father in law to break me in gently. I'm doing the swimming part tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Hope everything goes ok at the docs BN. I would find it incredibly upsetting the way they have been talking so clinically about everything.

Hello sleep regression... well more wake Ups than when he was newborn. I did my first dreamfeed at 11.20 as I was late to bed. Then he woke at 2.40, 4.10 and 6. I'm knackered and he has his jabs this afternoon. Urghh.

Definitely will need cake today... lots of it!

 

[AmyQ]

Hope all goes well BN. Sending hugs xxx
