Hey Brydz,

Am on my mob, but just had to reply. You are EVERY bit as entitled as any other woman on the planet to be a mumma!! I am totally outraged for you!! Argh! You are a bigger person than me, I woulda punched her in the face! What a frikken rude cow to say that about you! Yeah it is sad for anyone to lose a bubba, but is certainly no excuse to judge other women.

Some people try for years to have a baby, needing IVF or such, so they can't complain if they have a bad day with their bub ???
It's human nature to offload emotions whether positive or negative, it doesn't mean anyone is ungrateful to be blessed with a baby.

IMO, she is just very nasty & bitter, and maybe if she worked on being a nicer human being, good things will happen to replace the sad.
You get back what you put in to this life.

Big hugs to you, don't even let that crap get to you hun. I think our babies choose US to be their mummas, I always have. They just pick who is right for them!

Hi to everyone else. Sorry I haven't replied, been reading, but am always on ph- so much easier than the puter
- lazy I know.

Couldn't have said it better myself brydz

AFM - went and saw pickle today, nice little heart beat but dates are showing 5 days behind which I'm a little worried about still not getting my hopes up,

[MrsB26]

Raffy, just popped into say dont stress about the scan being 5 days behind - dating scans arent all that accurate so early. The baby is so tiny that even a millimetre of differnce in the technicians measurements can put you out but a few days. I had a dating scan with Evie and it put me back about 5 days too - meant i would have got a bfp at 6dpo which is highly unlikely, once i had my NT scan, she was measuring exactly to my dates. A heatbeat is a fantastic sign and congrats again xxx

[raffy]

Thanks Hun, phew that makes me feel better, I've always measured pretty spot on, so a few days out and I freaked lol, how are you and your beautiful babies? Enjoying this lovely weather we are having! Was the rain as bad in newy as it was in the bay? Woke me up 3 times last night

[MrsB26]

We are just plodding along nicely thank you, Its very busy and i was just saying to my dh last night as much as i'm exhausted i'm so in love with them both - its just wonderful! Yes, the rain was so full on all day - good though cause the kids slept so well, so did I, didnt wake me once - love sleeping while its raining. I even had the eletric blanket on last night! Glad i helped make you feel a little bit better xxxx

[raffy]

Oh I'm glad they slept well, Cooper slept through all the rain as well which I was glad about, have you started evie on solids and all that? How is she going with it all?

[Pretz]

Raffy - Glad that you are able to ease your MS and the waves of nausea. I LOVED being pregnant and I could deal with the leg cramps, big belly, peeing all the time, sore back and lack of sleep in the end due to the big belly, but one thing I HATED and am not looking forward to again is the MS!! Glad that you got some nice mother's day pressies too and how cute about the cup that says "love you mummy". Fingers crossed your "blind date" goes well and that you make a new friend. Thanks yes, my friend isn't doing so well with her split from her partner, and she doesn't have any family (she never had kids, couldn't have them, was in a car accident when she was 17 with her parents and broke her pelvis and her uterus and insides were all so badly damaged poor thing). I'm trying to be there for her and cheer her up but it's a bit hard as I don't really know what to say except just be there if she wants to talk.

Nikki - Snap that Ben was in a terrible mood last night too. Not sure why these boys get like that. It frustrates the heck out of me as I don't know what to do with him after a while, he won't eat, won't sleep, not happy to play, don't want to be held but when you put him down he screams....drives you insane at that moment! He slept from 6:45pm til 5:30am this morning though and on his first nap for the day now! Just hope today is better though as DH worked last night and is sleeping at the moment too. lol Boys!! I'm sorry to hear that Benny is still waking so often through the night. I was going to say you should perhaps try him on a bottle of FF before bed, but since you have and he hates the bottle, I'm not sure what else to suggest. What time do you put him to sleep of a night? I'm sure you are strict with his bedtime routine, but I found that ever since I started being strict with Noah's and stuck with it like clock-work it made a HUGE, HUGE, difference with his sleep and that is when he started sleeping through without waking. I also tried to stretch him too late at night I think and did it earlier and earlier again and he now goes to bed anywhere between 6:15pm and 6:30pm and he sleeps well, so not sure if that is why...? Huge, huge 's to you honey! I can only imagine how hard and exhausting it must be, especially having 2 babies to look after during the day and not getting any rest. I feel drained and exhausted after just looking after 1 baby all day! Yes, I was sad about the BF coming to an end, but it's great to have my boobs back to myself and to be able to wear normal bra's again (although it felt a bit odd at first) Oh that sucks that you had to cook for 15 people!! I honestly couldn't do it! I struggle to cook for 2 (me and DH) most days!! Enjoy your whinge lol and visit with your girlfriends and their babies coming over today. I have my Mummies group tomorrow as well and can't wait, sooooooo lovely to chat with them and to be able to realise you're sooooooo not the only one going through everything! lol

AFM, nothing new on my end. Just having a bit of time to myself on the PC while Noah is napping and DH is still sleeping after his night shift.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Me xoxox

PS: For those of you girls (Vix and Nikki) that were with me in the Pre-TTC thread - do you girls remember Dragonbub? Well, she had her bubba boy last Friday! How exciting!!

[Vixstar]

Okay, here I go trying to do persies! Missy is being a Minx this arvo and Bailey is flat out talking my ear off.

Nikki - I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling with still night bf. I have been having broken sleep for a few months now with Noah needing to go to the toilet once or twice a night ("Mum, I'm busting!") and Alannah being sickish the past 2 or even 3 weeks - crying out in her sleep, can't breath, lost her plug...*yawn*! Not to mention with this pnd I now find myself going to bed well after 11pm most nights and then up between 6am and 7am most mornings....but bf at night is the pits I say! I used to rub my eyes so much trying to stay awake in front of the telly those first few weeks with Alannah. I hope Ben sorts himself out soon. What about just offering him water for one of the feeds and refuse to feed him boob? Actually, I have no idea! Have you spoken with your CHN?

Brydz - Yes it is sad she has suffered a loss but far out! I think she is just jealous and is lashing out. Jealous - not like envious but I guess in a hurt way. I remember after I had my mc @ 11weeks I was a ***** and would be rude to anyone pregnant but it was my way of protecting my feelings, of being the child within if that makes sense.

Are you enjoying being back with adults again in the workplace?

I think you have the right to say no to J and co if they still smoke around him. They are putting Vinnies health at risk and increasing the chance of SIDS. I know I don't need to tell you that though.

Raffy - MS sucks! In a nutshell! lol Yesterday I came across my packet of Stemetil from my ms with Alannah. As long as you still have all the symptoms then everything is still cruising along just fine and dandy. Do you look at Cooper and try to imagine him as a big brother?

Pretz - Re: weaning Noah. It is hard isn't it. It truely is very emotional and only the other day I almost considered expressing again to try and get my milk going again to see if Alannah would bf again. I was carrying her on her back and she turned her head, mouth wide open and tried to latch on through my shirt. I told her she had had her chance and blew it!

Argh! The Impossible Princess has returned! GTG

Hi Guys.

Just wanted to pop in and quickly say to Nikki, William was exactly the same with the night waking. He was doing 3 hourly till a week ago and nothing i tried managed to keep him sleeping longer. We even tried cc and that was an epic fail. He just screamed for nearly 2 hours which was just ridiculous. I started giving him a formula bottle for the second arvo feed as he too flat out refused a bottle before bed (or overnight for that matter). I did it mainly for me as being at his beck and call every three hours was starting to get to me so i needed to just get that little bit of space. We also stopped wrapping him and slept him on his tummy and low and behold the night we did that he slept till 5am, 7 till 7 the night after and since then he has been having a feed at 4 or 5 am and then going back to sleep. He is still waking up overnight but until that 4/5am mark i can usually stick his dummy back in and he is fine. The night before this massive turn around i went out for dinner and dh gave him a bottle for his 1030 wake up and he was none too impressed and screamed for an hour and a half before realising that the boobs were out and he had to just go back to sleep lol. Not sure if any of this will help you but it might just pay to do something really different and see if that helps. I feel for you, i was going insane and the only way i was getting through it was co sleeping which was driving me bonkers as William is humungous and takes up alot of room so i wasnt sleeping too well although some sleep was better than no sleep.

Hi everyone else, iv been stalking this thread but with 2 munchkins now i never actually have time to sit down and post anything.

[raffy]

Pretz - wow your friend has been through quite a lot, my heart goes out to her, shes lucky to have a friend like you

Nikki - sorry to hear you were sick last week, you really are a trooper what with bens constant feeding and tending to a toddlers needs as well and add being sick on top of all that, just inspirational no matter what you may think sometimes you sure are doing one he'll of a job

Vix - I find it impossible to see Cooper as big let alone someones brother, just quietly I'm absolutely *****ing myself about having two babies, and I'm not just saying that, they both will be babies!! I have days where I think I've made a huge mistake and wouldn't be upset if I lost this bub, then I just wanna smack myself and consider myself a selfish b!tch as there are squillions of gorgeous, deserving couples that can't have babies and here I am thinking I don't want mine

beatitude, thanks for popping in, nice to no your still around xx

AFM - went on my 'blind date' today, S is lovely and her little man is gorgeous, will def be catching up again, I left df saying I'd be like an hour tops, 2 hours later I found him in kmart quite bored we just chatted heaps and lost track of time, so we will def catch up again

Oh I also have a theory, with coops I craved smiths original thin cut chips, now with pickle I'm craving smiths salt and vinegar thin cut chips, huh huh original is blue s&v is pink hmmm

[Vixstar]

It is official - Alannahs non eating and lack of formula intake is ALL MY FAULT! I have been so stressed esp when it comes to meals / ff that she basically can't eat or drink due to her stress. I have completely failed her now. The CHN said I need to take a step back and just let her be....I wish she could see what my days are like to know that every day I try to start a-fresh, that most days I can feel the spark of life trying to ignite but it takes a small puff of wind to blow it out. Like today. Yesterday I felt awesome and today - puff - out goes the light.

DH is home late tonight....so I have no time to stop and breath today. Hate these kind of days.

How darn Cccccccold is it???!!!! *shivers*
