Dysco and her chick

[CARNAT22]

I keep thinking how advanced Ollie is, but then I remember he was 2 weeks late - little monster!!

He is just beautiful hun, he really is.

James is a bit more of a Mummies boy at the moment but for weeks it was Daddy that comforted him if he screamed (which he does if he is hungry or being taken out of the bath).

James has realised I am the feeder though so smiles are sometimes reserved just for me.

OH and I have dtd a few times, it's been lovely actually.

I am going back on the pill today, it will be the first time in 2 years I've not been TTC or pregnant

Such a gorgeous little man! him!
If it makes you feel better I think I only posted negative things for 2 m not only 1 lol...
What a wonderful smile! Clever little boy! I didn't have definite smiles until she was 6 weeks old. Lazy Madame...

We DTD since the first couple of weeks (well sort of, not fully DTD until the bleeding was gone) but then Amelie slept a stretch of 5 h since week 2 or 3 I think. Obviously it tremendously helped that she was ff and a chunk meaning that she could eat fast and a hell lot lol...

But you my lovely you do really amazing, not only bf and he is gaining weight so good but he is already sleeping very well at night!

Glad to hear that you found everything so natural
Though the same happened for me I discovered that I am not born to be a mummy lol and I couldnt definitely be a stay at home mum without getting crazy lol

I think being 2 weeks over makes quite a difference at this stage, I'm sure the effect will get less and less but those first milestones have come that bit earlier. He is so scrummy, I love watching him. It will be interesting to see how I feel in a few months time I'm nit sure I can be a sahm, and we can't afford that anyway, but I don't think I want a job that requires so much of me as my current one does. No decisions being made now though!

Aw he's so adorable Emma and great that you're starting to get lovely smiles My DH was much more loved up after Harry was born - he kept saying thank you for giving me Harry It's really the way it should be isn't it?! Glad Ollie is putting on weight so well - when you're bf-ing it feels like a real achievement I think! Sounds like you're a being a fab mummy honey xxx

 

[dyscochick]

Aw thanks Hun

 

[Hope81]

oh my God what a cutie is that! I need a baby boy!!!!!

How are you doing lovely?

 

[dyscochick]

We are doing ok. I'm just starting to feel like a feeding machine! It's never ending ! Going our tonight for the first time. DH has expressed milk and ready made formula as a top up if needed (I bought them as back up so thought we might as well use it! I'm just going to s friends for dinner but will be weird and also tiring cos I'm normally in bed by 9!!

Have a lovely evening hun, bet it will be nice to go out & relax.

Xx

 

[CARNAT22]

Enjoy your evening hun!

I can't wait to have a night out but I've not got round to it yet.

We do have some wine for tomorrow though

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[ceebee]

Ooh, have fun! And love that photo of Ollie - he's adorable! xxx

 

[dyscochick]

Was lovely to. See my girl friends, I even managed it between feeds as Ollie fed at 7 then slept eventually for daddy and didn't wake til 11

 

[Hope81]

So glad that you had a nice time Amelie is such a little Madame lately that I dare not to leave her with my oh more than me getting a shower...
Sorry to hear you are feeling like a feeding machine. I suppose when all that excessive growth that happens the first weeks will slow down it will get a little better

 

[dyscochick]

It's just one of those things Hun, on the other side of the coin it's lovely to be able to breast feed and I'm grateful that my body is letting me! Having said that I fed thus morning of the left, by the time I got to the right he was asleep and I was drenched in what felt like half a pint if milk! Expressed off 3oz in 10 mins cos Ollie wasn't interested and I was full!

 

[Hope81]

I so appreciate that you always refer to bf like your body letting you do it It always makes me feel better that I made everything possible but wasn't made to be. Add to that and a baby that didn't want to know about the boob...

I suppose I am still not over the fact the bf didn't go so good..touch wood she didn't get any terrible colds until now

 

[CARNAT22]

Life is too short to feel guilty Hope.

I refuse to feel bad about not being able to BF James.

It would have made my life so much easier (in terms of sterilising etc), it would have been so much cheaper and probably better for James BUT it would have made me a mental wreck.

If we have number 2 I'll def tray again but I won't push myself! I don't regret my choice to go to FF.

xxxxxxx

 

[dyscochick]

Honestly girls I don't take it for granted, and having had just 48 hours of expressing and feeding I have so much respect for you girls who have done it for longer, we were so close to introducing formula. I take no credit for it, my body let me and Ollie has taken to it, mostly! You really shouldn't feel guilty about formula, you gave your lo's the best of what your body could give, colostrum and breast milk in the early days, what more can you ask? Xxx
