Millie's_Mum

Well Millie is actually Millicent Elizabeth and more often than not gets called mil so the chances of her actually getting Eloise are slim to non existant!

She has been charlie throughout the pregnancy hence charlotte and we are all still calling her that to be honest! I'd prefer it shortened to lou rather than ellie but i don't mind.

I messaged a girl with the same name that I found on facebook when we were first considering it and she said she often gets Ello which I think is kind of cute, we did sing ello smello at her last night when she filled her nappy!

I think it's a really pretty name Millies Mum

Caz, it's the preservative sodium metabisulphite that is found in most squashes and it can cause babies to be fractious... Not sure about wind... But you could always try drinking water for 24hrs and see if it makes a difference?

I've just been working out how much weight I've put on so far..

3rd Dec, 7+3 = 7st 10lb / 49kg
28th Jan, 15+3 = 8st / 51kg
8th Mar, 21+0 = 8st 9lb / 55kg

So 13lbs so far. I think I read somewhere that, because my BMI was too low to start with, I should aim for 28-40lbs overall.. I'd best have another Mars bar

Is it from 27wks you put on about 1lb a week?

ETA: For the record, I'm not worried or bothered.. purely curious Actually want some of it to stick afterwards!

thanks krystal will give it a go tom? i dont drink tea or coffee and thought it was better! oh well will let you know.

Millie's_Mum

Thanks Krystal I think its pretty too and anyone who doesn't can just go whistle!

Caz, its not too bad actually, it was worse when I was in hospital when I was on my own with her and I couldn't get to her to pick her up or put her down without causing myself a great deal of pain, now I'm home I've been able to say can someone pass me her/a drink/shove a pillow under her head etc rather than trying to manage on my own.

I'm just not quite sure how I am going to manage getting up to school on time having fed and dressed both of them, plus walking about is a bit of a trial at the moment, I left the house for the first time yesterday and felt like it was me who'd climbed kilimanjaro when I got back.

OH is taking mil to school monday tuesday and I have someone picking her up those days so we'll just have to see how if I can manage to at least pick her up on wednesday.

Congrats Jo and Miliies mum :j
I am dying to try out the new buggy but cant get it out the boot, so have to wait till OH comes home from his Mum's.
I'm just at Nans, cooked her dinner cos mum is away and she has eaten 4 potatoes, cabbage and a chicken leg, i know it dont seem alot but for my nan it's bloody amazing, i feel really happy that my food is that good
I have a feeling Bubs is engaging, i'm getting some wierd pains, and lots of pressure feeling down 'there' got MW on Tues so will se what she says, still having sore BH's but not too regular.

I feel really bad about moaning about my neighbour the other day, cos she went out and got bubs a blanket and one of those foam bath supports yesterday

congrats millies mum, eloise is absolutely adorable! its a lovely name IMO dont listen to them! congrats to jo too!

cazscoob

MM just take it slowly and dont do too much or hurt yourself!
i find it easier if i get eveyone up and dressed right away before breakfast then they are done. am glad you have lots of help!

i usually feed half an hour before kids get up so that i can lie in bed and wake up and baby is then happy to lie in her pram til i do breakfast hair etc etc xxx
