*~*~* September 2015 Mummies *~*~*

[hayes]

Also would any of you lovely ladies like to be my bump buddy??

I don't get wifi in the hospital so I wouldn't be able to come on at all but would like to keep you guys updated if someone doesn't mind doing me a labour thread?? Might help to keep me sane in there!!

[Mary Poppins]

Michelle I am very happy to do a labour thread for you, if you would like me to? However I don't need anyone to do one back as I know last time I was getting into labour I was very insular and didn't want to contact anyone, so just plan to update you all after! If you want someone to 'buddy' more with that's totally fine, but the offer is there xx

 

[hayes]

No that's fine with me Mary I dont mind not doing one back(altho im not saying I wouldn't do it for someone of course)I just know I will prob b bored in hospital n b wishing I cud update u all!!!

Michelle. x

 

[Mary Poppins]

Hooray! I do love having a job to do and LOVE getting labour/baby news!! Will inbox you in a mo.

I am so sad July mummies are not posting on here, I loved keeping up with the June thread! X

 

[H16]

Thanks for the concern ladies, I'm ok. No more contractions or leaking waters today touch wood so hoping things are calming down a bit now. Did literally nothing on Thursday and Friday so think that helped with contractions calming down but I am still going to mention the waters again at my scan on 21st July as it is worrying me a fair bit. Mum commented on how my bump looks smaller today so hopefully baby just moved rather than anything else.

I hope you get some good sleep soon Michelle, lack of sleep is the worst! I managed to have a good little nap for an hour and a half this afternoon whilst OH played with our daughter in the garden so that was nice, much needed! I am, dreading lack of sleep once baby arrives too!

How are you Mary?

[Mary Poppins]

Ah glad you haven't had things any worse today. Personally I would give midwife a call before you app, but of course totally your decision, I would just want to get it checked.

I am doing fine thanks, bit tired and achy at times but thankfully all seems to get going relatively smoothly so far. Midwife wednesday so looking forward to that. Milk came in last night (well in one boob anyway!) makes it all seem a bit real and nearer somehow! I can't wait xx

 

[Gillyboos]

Glad to hear you're doing better H16.

Oooooh talk of bump buddies has really made me excited now! I'm still in touch with my bump buddy from my little boy. In fact there is about 10 of us from the April Mummies thread last time that have a private group on FB where we can see the babies growing up. We've become really close.

Sorry you're not getting much rest Michelle. It's rubbish isn't it. My MIL was telling me it's getting me ready for when the babies come...not sure how that works as I've had 15mths of tiredness ha!! And on that note my little boy is shouting at me down the monitor to go get him!

Hope everyone has a lovely, restful Sunday. Xxx

 

[H16]

Hahaha Gilly, I know what you mean I said to someone the other day it's ok I have been knackered for nearly 2 years already just another 6 to go and hopefully I will get decent sleep again hahaha x

 

[Gillyboos]

Hahaha Gilly, I know what you mean I said to someone the other day it's ok I have been knackered for nearly 2 years already just another 6 to go and hopefully I will get decent sleep again hahaha x

I just keep telling myself that because of the small age gap, I won't have a gap of getting sleep then reverting back. Just getting it all out of the way now! x

 

[H16]

Yeah this is true. Ruby has been sleeping through most nights for half a year now and 7.30pm - 6am is my time to chill/sleep etc so the thought of getting up every couple of hours again is not very appealing. Ruby slept from 10pm - 4am at around 7 weeks though so hoping this baby follows suit and then it shouldn't be toooooo bad hopefully! This is probably our last baby too x

 

[Kelly450]

Glad all is good H!
I love a good labour thread Michelle!
Can't wait!

I am also dreading the sleep situation. I'm hoping for a good one like my son who slept 9 hours at 6 weeks... I know that isn't going to happen lol! X

 

[Mary Poppins]

Oh my god girls after my 'I'm fine' message last night I feel like total shit today. I ache so bad, especially my back, could just go back to bed and stay there for the day but my inlaws are staying and I am taking belle to see Frozen at the theatre. I was really looking forward to it and now want to cry a little.

All your messages have also made me wonder a bit what this baby will be like. Belle was the easiest baby, breastfed, slept, woke for a feed, fed for about 20 minutes, went back to sleep again. She always knew the difference between night and day and unless she was poorly we never spent time just 'walking around' with her to get her to sleep etc.... Surely I won't get that twice???? Geeze Louise a rude awakening may be coming my way!

Hope everyone else is ok today and you all had decent nights sleep xx

 

[Kelly450]

I hope you feel better soon! Especially before having to sit through the theatre.

I'm worried this time too. First baby was like a breeze.. so easy! I doubt that will happen again. I'll probably have a baby who doesn't like to sleep, has colic, cries a lot, a sicky baby, everything my son wasn't but I was expecting lol x

 

[H16]

You ladies are so lucky you had easy babies first time round. Ruby was an absolute nightmare for first 3 months or so, she had horrendous colic and would scream for 3 hours straight every night. I would have to let her go to sleep laying belly down across my lap as it was only way she would sleep etc. I actually rang my mum crying after only getting 2 hours sleep a night for 3 weeks, felt like I was hallucinating and I was like "I can't do this" lol. Hoping this has given me good preparation for baby number 2 though as feel like I could actually cope better this time round x

 

[summer15]

Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing well - I've been so busy the past couple of days prepping for the baby shower but we had an absolutely fantastic day! The weather was gorgeous and the games/food etc went down really well Baby Paterson was thoroughly spoilt!! And it was so lovely to see my mum, dad and nana - probably the last time before little man is here!!

It's so funny reading your last few comments - I've been so focused on the pregnancy / getting everything ready for baby's arrival / labour, my calender sort of stops after the first week in September like having my baby safely in my arms is the ultimate goal, but now just realising that it's barely the 'start line' ... Ha
Xxx

 

[H16]

Glad you had a wonderful day Summer, you look gorgeous hun pregnancy suits you.

Yes it is the 18 years after the birthday that are the hard times haha but also the best times too when your child calls you mummy or asks for a cuddle there is no better feeling, melts my heart every time x

 

[Gillyboos]

Glad you had a lovely day Summer. First thing that my little boy does when I get him out of his cot is give me a kiss, that is worth a 1000 sleepless nights.

Otto is a good baby, he's happy and fairly well behaved (testing a few boundaries at the moment though!) but he was a bugger for sleeping, didn't sleep through until he was nearly 10 months!! And it has only been the last few weeks where we have had him sleeping through every night consistently. I'm really hoping these start sleeping a bit better earlier.

When can we start buddying up? I'm excited now Michelle and Mary (I realise this may not be your name ha!) have buddied up! xx

 

[Mary Poppins]

Haha no my name is Tess!! Hi everyone ~ ha!

Summer you look beautiful, so glad you had a great day!

Apologies for my moan this morning, I felt so much better after a hot shower and we had a brill day. At one point at the theatre snow started coming down on us and I cried! Must be pregnancy hormones but Belles little face was a picture she was just so excited it was like one of those perfect moments... That's what being a mummy is all about xxx

 

[H16]

Awww that sounds lovely hun, glad you had a nice time. You still aching? x

 

[Mary Poppins]

Fanny daggers, but defo not aching like I was this morning! I just felt awful and wanted to crawl into bed for the day, think I must have just slept awkwardly. Inlaws go home tomorrow morning and the girls have been in with us while they have been staying so thinking all will be much calmer/more relaxed once they have gone xx
