Another one here having a bit of a weepy and fed up day.
Fed up of being in pain and feel like I cant do anything properly with DS, and running around after him is just exhausting. 99% of the time he is as good as gold but hes still exhausting though
OHs 12 hour shifts seem to last a lifetime when im home alone as well.

Is it too soon to start wishing this baby out :rotfl:

Ahh........... my shower has chosen to leak through the floor and into the utility room on top of the plug sockets that my washing machine goes into...

HELLO 39 weeks pregnant... this was an expense I wasn't prepared for... but as maternity leave has started, "at least someone will be home when we get it fixed"...

Rar rar rar ...

In baby related news, all is good here though.

We put off clearing ours out for AGES but it feels sooo good once it's all finished, was a weight off my mind promise it'll be worth it!

It's all clear...now for the furniture to go in once I'm on maternity leave from next weekend.

Oh, there were two more instances of tears...

Sorry to hear there are others having weepy days, although it is a relief to know it is a pregnancy hormone thing and not just me

After a mammoth tidying effort yesterday I have taken to the couch today and have been merrily crocheting the afternoon away I will eventually leave the couch and do some more organising (maybe )

I'm impressed at how quickly you cleared the room Vic! This is my forth time attempting ours, been doing it since 12pm today. Everything's sorted into sizes, blankets etc sorted, everything pretty much ready to wash just need to hang curtains and sort the one corner I haven't a clue where to put the stuff (bits of a canvas wardrobe and lots of outgrown toys of my sons) I think we have far too many baby clothes too! I cried a little too clearing our room! X

Hope you are doing ok Continual, can't believe you little girl is 13 days already! X

Oh my goodness it's the London baby show next weekend, that came around so quickly!!! We've only 2 months until she gets here, 1 month left of work, where has the time gone?

Went for a massive long walk today with OH and friends geocaching, was really good but I'm wiped out. I think we were walking for about 3-4hrs in total, madness. I have no idea how far we walked as it was all "just another 300m over here" for each one. I've had to have a 2hr nap this evening and woken up completely knackered still.

Hugs to those feeling weepy and to those feeling fed up, hang on in there it won't be too much longer and it'll all be worth it xx

If you can exclusively bf TTC40 it is so much easier for the lazy mum. You just whack them in the nip and off they go, no screaming child, no waiting for kettle, no worrying its the wrong temp etc. The baby is super attached to you, but once they calm down you can express the odd bottle and get you OHs to feed. It is especially good when out and about, I met up with a friend who had a LO the same age, he began crying and I mean screaming, she had to warm the ff up and that was a struggle as Starbucks can't give you the water, they will take the bottle and do it for you, but when the baristas are super busy your screaming baby is not priority! I could just discreetly pop my LO on for a quick feed.

I must admit I was super lucky with DD1 she began dropping a night feed at 8 wks and then she began sleeping 12 hrs through the night from 3 mths with a bit of a blip at 4 mths, but I couldn't hack all the bottle washing/sterilising. Bf meant I had an excuse to veg in front of the tv!!

I know bf isn't for everyone, I know loads of people who think ff is so much easier, but I'm not really sure it is when you factor in all the washing, sterilising, the craziness when there was a formula shortage last year. Anyway just my views

I totally agree about the convenience - that is one of the reasons I'm currently still doing it even though it's become uncomfortable since I got pregnant as I feel it is still the easier option. I did find it hard the first time for the first few weeks so I can totally understand why so many people switch to formula as it's mainly early on that people do so but once I'd got beyond that first bit I'd definitely say it's seemed easier to me.

Thanks chick. We had the room recarpeted in August so did a semi sort out then. Just got to move all of baby's stuff in now! Are you feeling better?

My notes say I'm 4/5 engaged. What does that mean? Xx
