    Congrats Mazcabs! :T Could it be a christmas baby? I've got a three year gap between my first two, and they're great friends.

    I'm still b/f, and soooo many people have told me to 'get her on the bottle' :mad: to make her sleep through, so i'm assuming that makes a difference?!?:confused:
    Its annoying isn't it, my Dad used to go on at me to give Aimee a bottle and 'give myself a break' I tried it for about a month, 1 bottle at night... The theory is, formula milk is thicker and sits in the tummy longer so the baby doesn't feel hungry quite so quickly... Didn't make a single jot of difference to Aimee... All it did was leave me washing and sterilising things and buying stuff I didn't need...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Morning all, had a bit of a shock over the weekend. Had this little incling but confirmed at weekend that we are expecting again. It wasnt planned and tbh not sure how far gone either as I never seemed to get back into that much of a routine period wise after Henry....Think OH was as shocked as me !!

    So I guess its off to the doctors to have it offically confirmed.

    Congrats! :o xx

    weezl - I never purposefully dropped a feed, There is no way Chris would have let me at 6 weeks either (sorry if that's not what u wanted to hear :o)
    I'd let Fergie take the lead, one night he'll just not wake up for a feed and then touch wood, cross ur fingers and pray that he carries on! :D

    Yeah Maz!! :T get ur botty over to the preg club ASAP :D
    I'm currently dying for our first 2010 EDD I know they've probably been made now :p

    ;)however did you guess that might not be what I wanted to hear?!;)

    Sami, I hope you've sorted Christopher's sleeping the way you wanted to by the time your LO arrives, I remember vaguely (sorry, baby brain!) from the pregnancy thread a while back that you were trying to 'shape' his sleeping into something a bit more workable with a new baby? Hope that's gone well... How're you feeling, blooming or scummy? x

    Thanks all, keep 'em coming, it helps to have real life examples, baby whisperer is normally quite a good book, but I think she's a bit misleading on this one!

  • Glad you enjoyed your meal SB - you must think I am terrible only waiting 5 1/2 weeks before I made my escape for the evening LOL.

    I used to be naked as much as possible but since having Benjamin it has probably been less than 2 hours in total - only the time I have spent in the bath or shower!

    Sorry if this is TMI but I am still bleeding...got my 6 week check tomorrow so will talk to the doctor but it is really starting to play on my mind. I keep thinking that they are going to send me to hospital...which I know is irrational but just typing it has me crying.

    I have been really tearful for the last 4 or 5 days - think I am getting a bit run down because I think I have a coldsore coming too. I feel like we are both doing well and that we are settling down but then the tears take over...I have just had them streaming down my face watching sister act :o

    Thanks, MFD & Mel. We had a lovely time even though it was really weird being in a bar on a Friday night! :rotfl:. Can't remember the last time :o. Usually DH and I go out for lunch when he is home and the children are at my Mums.

    I bled for around 6w with Poppy but only a few weeks with Jamie so maybe its just luck of the draw? :confused:. And they were both FF too. Hope the Dr can put your mind at rest and don't forget to mention feeling a bit down.

    scruffy - i know after wording something silly lol there are a few pages on nakedness lol!! did anyone see my Gok Wan link?? i am so tempeted really need a new wardrobe:D

    Weezl -Erin is 9 week and feed constantly during the evening to stockpile up and she then sleeps 7.30ish to 3/4am back up for a feed then thats her until 8am! she is BF but think that the constant evening feeding makes her last during the night!
