**** November 2012 Mummies **** (everyone welcome)

[ruthiex]

Wilson- so sorry to hear about your friend its a cruel world but makes me realise how lucky i am to have the things i do. Hugs xxxxx

Sally- Glad your enjoying the new pump, i hope it makes things easier for you!!

My OH would like to have a small age gap between children but im not too sure i think maybe 3/4 years? i will be 28/29 then so im quite happy with that. I didnt have a great pregnancy to be honest i had awful sickness for 6 months and had to take time of work etc as i was so exhausted, i didnt get out of bed for nearly a week at one point i was so ill! i cant imagine being like that and having a lo to look after? i know every pregnancy is different so i guess we will have to wait and see.

I bet one of us november mummies will be pregnant again in the next year haha!

Me an OH were going to dtd the other night and i realised i wasnt on any contraception lol... its a good job we didnt. I dont no what contraception to use as the implant was awful i cant take most of the tablets due to blood pressure and i really dont want a coil or anything! think i might try the injection?? any one else had it?

 

[Wilson28]

ill look into that as im still bf and want to get on the pump more!

well me n artie has just had a 2hr nap together in bed, i love bed cuddles he wakes up soo happy, then we both had some skin to skin while feeding. going to get in the bath with him tonight and have some more skin to skin. Ive not done this since he was born, just read its great for babies of all ages so regular skinage me thinks ) xx

sally..the class was all about stimulating babys senses. So today we were on a 'Space Adventure', lots of lights and tinsel for baby to look at and sounds. The lady who ran it did say it was a lot for M to take in today as she hasn't been before, we also did some signing as well. Hoping the more we go the more she will enjoy it

ruthie..I reckon one of us will be preggo by the time the year is out..hopefully me!! hehe I've never had the injection it has never really appealed to me. I'm probably going for the pill again as even though I hate it, it's just easier for me to take it really.

Oh and me have dtd yet, as we were at home staying with his folks so we've had to wait till we were back! Might treat him sometime this week

Oh has to stay out tomorrow night as he is on duty at work so I've got my first night on my own tomorrow, I was going to have a friend stay but I think I need to just stay on my own and get used to it?

Wilson..I need to do more skin to skin haven't done it for a while x

 

[CARNAT22]

We hardly do skin to skin as James isn't keen on being naked (or stripped down) unless he is in the bath.

I think we'll have a bath together later though - good thinking Wilson!

I am thinking to use the coil? I hate hormonal contraception.

OH and I have dtd twice and second time frigging condom broke so I had to take morning after pill...

xxxxxxx

 

[Kellybean]

My contraception is no sex!

He will be back for few weeks in feb and I hope I will be healed nicely down stairs and contraception is condoms. I cannot take pills as I am forgetful and too many had a bad effect on me and I don't want anything else done to me, plus it took us so long TTC that I don't want to mess around really.

Wilson I had a bath with Massan last night before bed, he loves skin to skin, especially in the bath. It's so enjoyable...I'm waiting for him to poo though!

I made bread today I put him in his bouncer and as I have a ken wood mixer it takes no time at all (cheating) but still I'm pleased. Madev3 loaves, cut and froze them. Cheaper than buying bread and super yummy, I'm soooo pleased he let me do it. I miss baking. Next is to make a cake....I think that will wait.

 

[Wilson28]

i need to write this quick before i forget posts lol, bread looks amazing i lurrve bread, im thinking of the coil, but cant even think about sex yet as it hurts

defo doing skin to skin more, he wassoo happy xx

 

[sallybee]

Using condoms atm when we get a chance! Can't take hormonal contraception as it interferes with bf I would like the coil I think as the injection made me bleed for 4 months, ditto the pill xx

 

[Wilson28]

injection makes u put on weight too xx

 

[CARNAT22]

Well my first period since end of January 2012 has arrived!!

So I am CD1 for the first time in a year LOL!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Wilson28]

whats cd1? all these obreviations i never know what it means lol

well mummy, daddy and arthur all got in the bath tonight together was fun xx


not impressed his daddy got out lol

 

[Kellybean]

Arthur's face is massan s face when I wipe his eyes! Such a familiar frowny face!

We didn't have bath time in the end as he's very grumpy.

Dreading the period...one good thing about pregnancy that was. (I suffer with them, so I'm dreading them now)

Massan is refusing to sleep....argh!

 

[Wilson28]

arthur has slet from11pm till 6pm few 10min wakenings in between snd wanted to nap since 9pm now hea dosing now, hardly fed since6pm, this is gonna be an all nighter lol xx

 

[Robyn_mcl]

Gosh I can't keep up lol
I've still not had a period yet and I stopped bf ages ago! Hhm?
Aw wilson Arthur is,so cute! Taylor pulls that face in the bath lol so cute!! Xx

 

[mrswoody]

I had a bath with Madison tonight with some skin to skin for a bit and she loved it, so did I I asked hubby if be wanted to bath with her but he was t so sure about it :/
I'm dreading the periods coming back the last one I had I remember having terrible period cramps it was awful! When should you expect them to come back while bf?x

 

[Kellybean]

Good lord I hate my bed...it squeaks.

Just got M to sleep, kissed him good night, danced around house quickly putting parrots to bed, turning everything off. Check on him, he is silent and sleeping, climb into bed and wakes up baby.

Long night ahead....

 

[Robyn_mcl]

My bed squeaks too Kelly!! & so do our floor boards drives me nuts!!! 1 of the reasons I'm thinking of introducing T into his.own cot in his own room earlier than I planned....that and he's growing.out if his basket lol xx

 

[Wilson28]

first wake up hes fed n changed so lets hope he goes down ok, xx

back in moses not grunting, back in after 10mins but mum now wide awake at 2 40 lol xx

 

[sallybee]

Cathy is actually at her Granny's tonight to be honest I made the suggestion as a joke and my mum jumped on it and git very excited. So off she went today with enough stuff for a week lol. I'm taking it a lot better than I thought I would, I've cried and I can't wait to pick her up tomorrow, but I'm very grateful for the sleep!

However I still had to get up in the night to Express and I think my right boob has a blocked duct as its very painful and feels like there's a lump in it, but if it doesn't clear up in a couple days I'm gonna make a drs appt as I don't want it to develop into mastitis!

Hope you lovely ladies are getting some rest and LOs are behaving! I miss my little girl, I just want to smell her (how weird am i) xx

 

[Kellybean]

Sallybee I wouldn't wait a couple of days as mastitis can happen v quickly :s

This Saturday I have a builder round to fix our bathroom leak and do some retiling (which I am shit scared about, I have this fear that they will see I'm a lone female and rip me off or do a shit job! They seemed nice when they came round and I have a quote but my hubby dealt with them, and now I have to deal with them on my own (I'm a shy person and don't like dealing with strangers very much!) how pathetic. So my dad is coming down in the afternoon to check on builders (had to beg him) and then picking up M and they are having him for the night! I cannot wait for the sleep, but...I will not know what to do with myself without him. I know what you mean sallybee about smell...not weird.

He woke up again at 2.30 and then 4.30 but he slept well as soon as I put him down, just I can't doze off as quick as him.

Robyn your babes only a day older than mine h3 is also outgrowing his basket...in his cot next week I think, but in his own room? Scary thought just yet for me. Plus he doesn't sleep that we'll yet. Let us know how that goes when you do.

 

[sallybee]

Advice on the web says to just try heat/massage/lots of pumping though? I don't want to like fanny people around :/

I would be exactly the same with the builders hun so you have nothing to worry about

My mum has text apparently Cathy was up at 1, 4 and 7 like usual so at least her routine hasn't been thrown out too badly. I'm so grateful for the sleep but I can't wait to get her home! But at least I have time for a proper breakfast for once lol. Xx
