Thanks!

They do fit! :j It's always my boobies that are a problem - well they were a problem when they were massive but even since my ops I still worry that stuff won't fit

OH says I look like a high class !!!!!! :cool:

EA, your dress is lovely! What one is Lily wearing?

Its this one http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=31236429&postcount=6952

Afternoon everyone

OH let me have a lie in so i woke up at 11am :j
But i feel much better now, i was so tired when i was feeding her this morning and kept falling asleep.

She wouldn't go to sleep last night, she was screaming for ages until about midnight.
Is it bad that i can sleep through her screams? I wake up when she does a small snuffly noise, or a squeak. But anything louder and i sleep right through it..

Som - I tried BF in public, and it was hard as Lily decided to be awkward and constantly pull her head back off me and pull the muslin square covering us off. Then she wouldn't go back on properly and would shake her head side to side crying and snuffling.

Since we've been FF Lily has been much better, she can bottle feed much easier than BF. She kept 'falling' off my nipple.
But since we've been FF OH has said i've been so much happier

Have MW today, was meant to have my MW come y'day but she called in sick, so they asked me to go into the Maternity Unit today instead.
I dont see the point, as i was meant to see my MW cause she knows me and can assess how im doing from what she knows. But the Maternity Unit MW's dont know me, so...

Lily is 17 days old already :eek: Its going so quickly. And she's changing so much!

I bought her a hairbrush and she loves having her hair brushed

Oh yeah forgot to mention i am pregnant as well but that shouldnt be a problem as i have had chicken pox and been vaccinated against rubella :-)

Congratulations!

Sarah Joanne I use a swim seat when I take Erin swimming and she loves it, as 3onitsway said it also means I can have a swim. I got mine for £10 from Boots. The first pool I went to though had special baby sessions and they provided the floats.

mazcabs how is Henry now? My sisters son banged his head against her mouth and had tooth imprints on his forehead for days!

kindof usually try and feed Erin just before I go out but she isn't always interested. When she was really young I often found it best to just go even if she was crying because she always fell asleep as soon as we got out the door. Now I just go and feed her if she gets hungry because I can't always be waiting around for her to get hungry. you can feed them in the car - even if your breastfeeding but not sure how safe that is! Also a bit uncomfortable

Anyhoo have a sticky eyed baby girl only cleaned it an hour and half ago and its all gunked up again.

We had this, to wipe it away we were told to use cotton wool and cool boiled water and only wipe once with each bit of cotton wool as infection can spread really easily. Erin's actually got infected and one eye went red in the corner and swelled up so we had to go the GP and get some eye drops on prescription which cleared it up quite quickly.

Bought some nipple sheilds yesterday to use temporarily and hopefully give my nips some relief as Tahlie is such a monster feeder there taking a battering and I dont wanna give up as she does seem to have the hang of it. Woke up this morning after 4 hours sleep to find one of my breast pads totally flooded and had to change my bra, desperatley need to get some descent sleep bras the ones I have altho they say there a 42/44 and Im 38 ish atm are way too small and very uncomfy, anyone have any good recomendations?

Don't spend too much as your supply will settle soon and you wont need to wear anything at night. I used pads in my normal vests but I never leaked too much.
...

Kindof - hope you have a lovely day out, am too chicken to go out for more than 2 1/2 hours at a time atm, not embaressed to feed in public just find it hard to get comfy at home sometimes so worried it'll be a nightmare out and about. Hope you can find a nice sling

I always found that Erin was much better behaved when we went out.

Not sure what's happening to me at the mo , but, I don't feel any thing for my OH at the mo I look at him and think what am I doing here , he tries to give me cuddles and I pull away I feel sick. I'm scared I am not in love no more and don't fancy him.

I'm the same, I know I rather be with OH than not with him but just don't have any sexual attraction to him at the moment or any sexual desire in general! Because my sex drive has totally gone I think it must be hormones and I've talked it through with OH and he is really supportive and prepared to wait I'm hoping it will all come back when my periods do but no sign of them yet as I'm still exclusively breastfeeding.

Must have missed the I love my bear cotbed buying! I fancied the dark wood one but we got the white one from Argos instead. We have got the I Love My Bear crib tho and its lovely and quite a good size.

I didn't buy the I love my bear cot (although i wanted it!!), but the one i did get is almos identical just doesn't have the engraving on. I got the bedding set though in pink . Not using the cot yet though.

Totally tried to recreate the pic lol!! (and Amber looks scared, lmao).

Awww, that looks fab!!! Loving your wallpaper too, is that the stuff you done yourself??
Kieren has a gloworm

Beenie - That looks great! She's so cute

Evansangel

I think we look similar!

tiamai_d

Beenie, the engraving would be a nightmare to clean, it would get dusty and grotty That cot looks lovely! Amber looks bewildered , but once she realises she can lie in there and play, she will love it!

EA, aw she looks like your twin!
