Oh Kellie he's gorgeous! What a cutie! Glad hes sleeping better for you too! Xx

Thanks girls. I've somehow (unsure what I did differently) managed to get on using my phone! Wohooo! Food today hasn't been good :( seriously craving today and didn't have willpower. So today was meant to be a eesp day but thinking I may need to eat carbs tonight to get rid of this constant...

I completely agree with Susie and Sarah, i didn't get one while pregnant as i knew i'd panic if i couldn't find the HB, and as Susie says it's a great tool to hear your baby but to the untrained ear you wouldn't necessarily be able to pick up on any problems and may be falsely reassured by...

Hi Everyone, Gosh sorry i've been MIA, i don't seem able to get on the MM app on my phone anymore...it just sits there "connecting" booo! How are you all? Well, i am back at work (boo!), started back last week and had to have a day off already, Tuesday night Rebecca had a temperature and...

I don't think a test would tell me anything I think it would be too early still. I haven't really paid attention to dates the last couple of cycles but I think af is probably due middle of next week. if by next weekend I'm still waiting I'll take a cheap test I think. If I was pregnant I'd...

Aww he's gorgeous kellie! He's doing great with his sleeping as well :) Hope you're all well xxx

Well spotted a tiny bit yesterday (Brown so old blood I guess tmi sorry) and nothing today. Just got to see what the rest of the month holds. If I don't get af I'll take a pregnancy test just to make sure but I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant we've been very careful when we have dtd so there...

Well a tiny bit more spotting today im not freaking out today there is no way im pregnant so im sure my body is waiting for tomorrow (slimming world weigh day!) To give me full on af as I wanted to get my 1.5 stone award and with af that will never happen! Lol.

Ah I've never spotted during a cycle hence the over thinking it. Im sure it's just my body being crazy as when I was bf I went through a phase of having full on really heavy periods that lasted 8-9 days every 2 weeks! Since I stopped feeding I'd had 2 cycles bang on dates so assumed I was back...

Ok girls im being very irrational here and I need to tell someone. Basically I thought af was arriving early today but it has stopped this evening (at least a week and a bit early by my calculations) so I didn't think anything to it, now I'm sitting in the bath (Haha yep you all wanted to know...

Hi guys, well Rebecca is better now (still the remainder of a cold and still a few visible marks of the hf&m on her hands and feet remaining) she's back to her normal crazy self! She's decided that she wants to stand ALL the time... She managed to pull herself to standing in her cot...

I switched to bigger dummies but only because I needed to buy some new ones so figured why not.... To be honest I think the only difference is the size so I really can't see that you need to change. I still sterilise bottles and will for as long as Rebecca has formula as I was told it was...

Oh dear my sister just text me and my niece (we were together Thursday) now has hand foot and mouth :(

I got Rebecca one of those for Christmas from sainsburys. Good buy couldn't be missed! :) xx

Ah well hopefully I can get to my mum's for a change of scene. She looks after my littlest niece during the week so maybe once we've got through another couple of days she won't be contagious. Or I'll just go stir crazy and you girls will have to put up with me ;) xx

Oh man 2 weeks inside is going to be killer! I'm already going stir crazy and we are only 4 days in! Haha. I havent a clue where she got it I can only think from the baby sensory session we went to on Tuesday...unsure how long it takes to come out. My nieces and nephews all seem to be ok we are...

Well my monkey has finally eaten something so it's a sign she's feeling brighter :) still got lots of blisters on her little hands and a fair few round her mouth and just very rashy feet... Not actual blisters yet. Shes gone down in her cot tonight which is also an improvement. How long do the...

She seems better in herself today and although not eating solids shes still happily drinking her milk so ill probably try and get her an appointment with the gp tomorrow. The a&e dr checked her throat and said it was clear so hopefully shes not suffering too much with her throat. If that changes...

Well the a&e doctor didn't know anything because this is definitely hand foot and mouth poor baby is covered in blisters on her hands, quite a few round her mouth and get feet are covered in the rash with a few blisters :(

Thanks girls, we ended up going to a&e (called 111 and he said because of the rash etc they wanted her checked) and it's a viral infection that's caused the rash (it had pretty much spread to most other parts of her body). We had a very broken nights sleep with some being on the sofa together...

Awww my poor little girl is poorly again.... Seriously seems to get over one thing and we get something else. Shes full of cold (red watery eyes and snot galore!) and im not sure but could be hand foot and mouth (we only have a rash on her feet and a couple of blister like spots on her hand so...

Just got back from my spa day and it was really lovely. Rebecca had great fun at her aunties with her crazy cousin. She slept relatively well for her and didn't mind auntie cuddles in the night instead of mummy cuddles so that's good news. Means i can share the sleepless nights around ;) haha...

Well Rebecca had her first night in her own room.... Well I say night more like evening as she was awake and in bed with me at 1am!!! The child is getting worse. I try to settle her in her cot and the little pickle just laughs at me, pulls her dummy out and throws it and rolls around like a...

Aww Thanks hun I promise to try and get back on here more:) Oh the sickness bug was horrible I hate people being sick anyways (complete phobia about it) but I felt awful for poor Rebecca when she was being sick she had no idea what was happening :( I'm glad Cole's was only 24hrs! Awww I...

Ok let's try that update post again! Hey girls, sorry I've been mia for so long. I don't know where the time goes! Rebecca and I are doing well. She had a nasty tummy bug a few weeks ago which took a good couple of weeks to completely recover. She got so skinny looking (she's not a big...

Urgh just wrote a huge post and it's gone :(

Awww congratulations hun, little Jake is gorgeous! I hope you are recovering well and enjoying time with your little man. Big hugs xxx

Oh bless you kellie, he's already giving you the run around! I hope the doctors agree and give you a csection. Let us know how you get on :) xxx

Wow can't believe it's come round so quickly. Best of luck when the time comes. Please do keep us updated :) xx

I always imagined I would have a chunky baby but I like her being petite and teeny.... my next one can be a chunky monkey ;) I think it's the taste or texture that makes her gag but not sure. I'm just going to keep trying and I'm sure she'll get the hang of it! Xx Sent from my GT-I9505...

Sorry I haven't been on much..... my little monkey isnt giving me much free time lately. We are all good thanks :) Starting to wean which isn't going too well the child gags at everything to the point she's sick! So we are not really getting anywhere. I wanted to try baby led weaning but...

Haha yes she was sitting in her Bath seat like lady muck lol. The pulled pork was pretty good....a bit of a faff trying to remove all the fat before cooking but well worth it! I agree about the bread...first white bread ive had in ages! Ah im glad there is hope that we might get her in to...

My friends little boy suffered badly with constipation. She was advised to make his bottles up with 9oz water but 7 scoops of powder so the water/milk ratio was higher (not sure if that would work with anti reflux formula). Also she tried the teaspoon of orange juice.. Anything to get more fluid...

Thanks hun. Yeah I'm pretty sure that it's Rebecca's teeth too she's dribbling gallons and her cry today is a 'it hurts' cry :( poor baby. Let's hope her and È get those teeth through sooner rather than later! Thanks hun :) Aww yay glad he's enjoying the porridge. I have to say Rebecca...

Hi girls, Well we are all good here, have a bit of a grump on my hands today. Yesterday she didn't sleep for more than 30mins all day (3x 10 min cat naps) she woke at 2.30am for a feed but went in to complete meltdown after 40 mins of me trying to get her back to sleep.... She didn't want...

My mum and I had this discussion yesterday. They do reduced sugar ones which I'm going to give Rebecca as every child in my family has had rusks and are fine. It does seen like a lot of sugar though xxx Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

That's a very good idea.... I'm definitely going to give her some jars etc so they are there should we need them when out and about. Xx Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Aww Thanks hun :) she is a happy baby until she's hungry then she's a screaming monster lol. Aww Thanks hun. Yeah I know baby rice yuck.... the smell of it put me off haha! I made it up with formula as I wasn't sure if I could use breastmilk..I assume I can just gotta be prepared and express...

Thanks hun! Yep the thought of that first shiney 7 on week 2 is keeping me going this week! :) Thanks Sarah! Yeah that's what I'm trying to do rather than save things up and do one trip I'm doing multiple trips... Hopefully might help :) Well this is my smiley 5 month old! Last...

Well my first week back to group resulted in a 6.5lb loss!!!! I'm over the moon and really inspired to keep going! :D:D:D:D in fact while I was feeding Rebecca at 4am I was laying there thinking what body magic I could do. Today I'm doing housework with extra effort made to be more active...

Yeah I can see sitting taking some time lol. Shes very straight when she sits with us and will sit happily supported but just topples over when you let go. Here's my little monkey today Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

News of the day. ... Rebecca is rolling front to back and back to front!! She was so close yesterday but today finally managed it! Now to work on sitting lol xx Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yeah I got the olive oil one and there have been a few that haven't realised the 'picking as they cook' was adding so many extra calories.... Because that's easily done I guess but some of them are just ridiculous and the amount of calories some of then eat per day is :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek...

Yes I'm hoping that when we start food with Rebecca she will start sleeping through the night. If I'm truthful I like having night time snuggles with Rebecca.... especially the feed at 4/5 as I tend to keep her in bed with me rather than get her back to sleep for her to be woken by Mike's...

Hmm poor Mike is all I have to say we haven't done anything in weeks! :rolleyes: maybe once Rebecca is in her own room we might have a better chance of getting our sex life back... Although im no where near ready for her to go in her own room... especially not with a wake up at 2/3 and 5/6am...

Day 1 of SW was 100% I won't lie I was tempted to eat crap.... Mike was away last night and I got home late from my mum's and for a moment the "no one will know" thought crept in to my head but I ignored it and took my little lady to bed for a snuggle and watched a film while she fed. Since I've...

Haha they should trade tactics on rolling.... the funny thing is Rebecca uses the weight of her head to propell herself back on to her back makes me laugh every time! Yes I tried doing it myself but I just ended up cheating so I'm hoping that rejoining will keep me on track! So far day 1 was...

I found using saline drops with Rebecca when she had a cold worked.... But then hers seemed to be in the back of her nose and throat and not really a runny nose for more than a day so I couldn't really 'suck' anything out. I also put some snuffle babe on a bib and hung it on her crib. Xx...

Yes she certainly had a tough start but she is a tough cookie and has got through it with hopefully no long term effects. Thanks... Yes I decided I definitely need the fear of someone else weighing me. Fingers crossed it works and I get some of the weight off quickly! Whoever said bf makes...

Hi girls, how are you all?! So sorry I haven't been online for a while I don't know where my days go at the moment! We've had a busy time and have been out as much as possible enjoying the sunshine while it is here! Rebecca had a check up with the consultant who was looking after her care...

Hi girls sorry been really bad at keeping up to date my friend doesn't really give me much time at the moment. We've both be hit by a cold this week, me worse than Rebecca thankfully so I'm hoping that my body is giving her the antibodies she needs to keep fighting. I On the other hand feel...

Well I'm starting (again) on sw. I'm trying to do it from home until the end of may then if im still floundering I'll join a group in june. So Extra Easy plan for today: I get more Healthy extras due to bf so I can have 6....im going to use them if I need them. Pre Breakfast: banana and...

Hi girls sorry I've been missing for a little while. I've not been in the best of places as Saturday saw the 1 year anniversary of my dad passing away. It hit me pretty hard for a few days before it and of course my mood seemed to unsettle Rebecca which was double whammy. Saturday was also...

Thanks hun im pretty bad with the pregnacare so maybe that will help as all I want to do is eat sugar and I'm not a fan of dark chocolate so end up eating loads of milk chocolate! Thanks I'm definitely in the right place to do it but being home is awful as I can pick so will definitely need...

I always wanted 6 kids (but then I always thought I'd start having them in my early 20's instead I had just turned 30 when Rebecca was born. If money and house was no object I'd have 4 very close together, but seeing as I need to work to pay my share of mortgage etc I guess I'll be happy with...

Well my little girl is 13 weeks already!! Where did those weeks go? She had her 12 week jabs today so I have a very unhappy baby tonight :( she was meant to have them last week but then canceled the clinic. This weekend she went to the beach for the first time.... and slept the entire time...

Sarah have you still got his crib raised slightly at the head end? If it is mild reflux then raising it should help a little bit. Hope it's not reflux as that's not nice for them and hopefully it will pass soon enough xx

Oh yes you definitely become a mama bear when your little one is involved! We are doing fine. Rebecca has started sleeping for 5 or so hours at night still not been successful in getting her to bed before 11.30/12 but the 3.30feed has moved to 5am which is great but it does mean when we go...

Ooh will definitely check that out. Although we don't have an Aldi close.... But they are building one about 5 mins away.. cant wait! Xx

It was a bit of a fright, 13 years driving and that's the first time someone has gone in to the back of me... sods law I had the baby in the car when it happened! My sister has got a chimnea and yes you do tend to smell of smoke as the chimney on them isn't that high so the smoke still gets to...

Thanks girls! Saturday was definitely very trying and I don't think the fact I've been spotting helped as I think I was a bit hormonal (thought it was going to be a period but is just spotting so maybe breastfeeding is stopping it being a full on totm...sorry tmi!) We had a marginally better...

Congratulations hun! What a lovely name can't wait to see a picture or two :) xx

Well the diet has been a write off the last couple of days! I'll be back on it from Tuesday. Rebecca was really settled last week but this weekend she's been really unsettled :( We've had a disastrous visit with mikes parents today (his gran, brother and his brothers girlfriend were there...

Thanks laura for some reason it won't let me quote you! hope you are well :) xx

Awww Amelia is gorgeous and yes they are chair buddies ;) Rebecca seems to prefer it to her swing at the moment so it will give me 10 mins to get dressed or put some washing on etc until shes shouting at me again. Aww thanks hun xx Thanks hun. How is Seth getting on with your non-dairy diet? Xx

Well Rebecca got weighed this week and was 9lb 3ozs! Fatty! Here are a few photos: Still wrapped in her swaddle blanket... she was screaming at me this morning wanting food so we unswaddled as she fed lol. She loves her mobile above her crib.... perhaps a little too much as she was...

Well day 1 on the diet went well until Dinner :( I went to see my sister and we ordered takeaway pizza! Oh well move on and it was nice. So todays food is Breakfast: 3 x chocolate weetabix (1.5heB + syns but need to check) ss milk (heA) and a banana and danio strawberry yogurt (1syn?)...

I know it's crazy how quickly it's going! I want time to slow down! I will sort a photo or two out once little lady is awake :) Oh and sending motivation your way! Although not sure how long mine will last I'm sure ill be weak on days where I am tired! :rolleyes: Thanks hun :) so far so...

Well rebecca turned 10 weeks old yesterday! Where have those weeks gone?! I don't want her to grow up anymore! Lol. Well today is day 1 of my attempt to do Slimming World as I'm aware that my weight has started going up again so time to give it a go. I'm not going to beat myself up if I have...

Thanks guys we are doing good although I seen to gave serious baby brain still?! Please tell me im not the only one?! I keeo forgetting stuff and just generally am completely useless! Haha. Rebecca slept in her crib all night last night! She went down about 11 so was asleep by 11.30pm, she...

Hi girls, Sorry I haven't been on very much. Ive just been busy with my little munchkin. Rebecca has really turned a corner this week she's started smiling.... she was smiling at everyone apart from me for a few days but today she gave me the most gorgeous smiles so she's obviously decided I...

I'm thinking I might do that and give her some before bed on a regular basis as she's often quite bad at winding in the night too. Rebecca has definitely cheered us up and kept us occupied. Bless her my mum looked after her for a couple of hours last night so mike and I could go for a meal...

Thanks girls ♥ Had a few tears this morning as i guess my dad not being here has sort of taken a back seat to little lady and this morning it sorry of hit me that he isn't here. We all met up to visit the crematorium with flowers and a birthday card and I'm feeling a bit better now. Little...

Haha I know everyone is shocked when I say she's 8 weeks old as they always comment on how teeny she is! To me she seems big now as she's grown loads since she was born but I know she's not as she's still in newborn size clothes! She was very grumpy after her jabs and full of wind...

Well little lady had her jabs today and is very sleepy and very unhappy if shes awake. I feel awful for putting her through it but I know its for her own good I just hope she perks up tomorrow. I'm taking her temperature regularly to make sure it's not rising to much but will probably give her...

Morning all, Well rebecca has been much better at sleeping she spends at least some time in her crib but at the moment comes in to bed with me too but I sleep much bet knowing she can't fall out. Still no obviously deliberate smiles although she is smiling im never sure if it's wind etc. It...

Happy mother's day to all you lovely ladies :) xxx

Happy Mother's Day everyone :) xxx

Well I ended up with rebecca in bed with me all night, I tried to get her to settle for an hour after the 4am feed and decided I'd be going all night so in to bed she came and she slept instantly and without a dummy! I woke up to her sucking my pj top and pecking at me.. I think she was...

Thanks for all your comments girls. We had 2 pretty good night's following that awful night so I got some sleep...poor mike stayed up the night after until 2am (he gets up for work at 6!) So I could sleep so I felt so much better. The second night my mum gave me a childs bed guard for the bed...

I hope he settled himself to sleep! Sounds like a good routine you've got planned. I find rebecca is better in the evening if she sleeps well in the day.... she seems to want more sleep the more she has so I think you are on the right path with trying to encourage sleeps between 2 and 9. Good...

Aww thanks hun that's brilliant I am going to try and do some meal plans...wow you get loads of healthy extras im going to have trouble using them all! MIke caved and bought her in to the living room with us...she was on major sleep strike. My problem is she's not sleeping in her crib at...

Oh and can I ask how I get my diary moved and where is the best place? I notice lots of you have moved to silver members diaries.... is it ok to get mine moved there even though I'm not technically doing anything but I will be starting slimming world soon as I'm fed up of feeling fat and...

She's definitely smiled at her toys and I'm pretty sure after some feeds she looks me in the eyes then smiles but I'm never sure if it's wind as she normally burps after that lol. We are currently seeing if she will settle herself in her crib. I HATE listening to her cry but I'm not sure what...

Aww Rebecca isn't smiling yet....I think she has a few times but I'm still unsure if it's wind or not! She's far too keen on frowning or pouting at me! Haha. Can't wait for her to grin at me... Might make it easier to cope when she's being a monster lol. I love that she's started cooing at...

Hi hun just jumping on what susie said... if you've had flashing lights even without a headache I think you should get your bp checked by the hospital just to be sure. Especially with the swelling you've had. Dont want to scare you but I wouldn't wait until 8th to get checked. Xx

Yes she was due 22nd....I downloaded that app so in hopefully ready! Lol. Its very true as sunday night she cried proper tears....which made me cry a I felt so bad she was that upset! (Even if nothing we did seemed to help! ) the app is telling me im in for a week of it..oh joy lol xx

Hmmm just fed Rebecca and swaddled her ready to go back to bed and the monkey poos.... sounds explosive too! Just what I wanted at 5am! We are doing ok plodding along. Shes been quite bad after a few good days at sleeping..... she went down at 10.30 up at 12.30, then refused to sleep in her...

Aww bless him at least he is happy! I see that sight every night through the bars of Rebecca's crib. ... eyes wide open no sign of going to sleep! They are little monkeys at fighting sleep aren't they? X

Does she enjoy having a bath? I was told a bath can help with tummy pain as well as wearing them out so they sleep. So could be an option to introduce a bath near to when you want her to sleep. Xx

Rebecca can be like that at times particularly in the evening... she either wants to eat or sleep she just isn't interested in being entertained. Shes much more content in the morning and will lay under her play mat but she would prefer to be in arms....I put that down to the fact I'm...

Awww thanks girls im so pleased she slept as I wanted to do the photos when she was brand new but with being in neonatal etc I couldn't so im glad she still tucks herself up and let me pose her (she did complain a few times lol) Aww would love to come and take photos....stupid distance! :( My...

Just wanted to share a few of the photos I took of Rebecca this weekend :) And one of the 3 of us :D

Id like to have another one when rebecca is 18months/2 years old but realistically I probably will have to wait until shes 2 and in cheaper childcare before we add another baby. 2016 hopefully for me ;) x

Oh Jess please please please don't feel you let anyone down. You did an amazing thing and you nourished, grew and gave birth to a perfect, beautiful baby girl. As everyone else has said no one will know the pain or how you felt during your labour. You need to remember that being induced isnt...

Well we slept for another couple of hours... she was more noisy as she was making everyone know she needed a poo. Got up to feed her and while she was feeding she wee'd and poo'd and it escaped the nappy on to me and the feeding cushion.....yuck! So we've just had a complete clothes change (both...

Hmmm well its 4.30 and this is the first feed needed tonight... lets not even go there with how full my boobs are lol...nor how much they've leaked but wow the monkey slept and I slept with not too much noise! Ok granted Mike stayed up until 1am with her (I feel bad he has to get up at 6 for...

Oh im glad its not just Rebecca, I mean it makes sense as they lose heat from their heads but im so paranoid as Rebecca's only symptom of the meningitis was a temperature so im constantly checking it. It really coulf drive you mad couldnt it? X

Thanks girls. Rebecca is still in the midst of the growth spurt although she did go 3.5hrs between feeds this afternoon but has made up for that with the last feed being on and off for 2hrs! We didn't get much sleep last night... Well none actually until 6am when I slept with her in my arms...

Thanks hun. I think even though I know it's a growth spurt its hard to imagine it ending and my god she does make me sore when she feeds for 3/4/5/6hrs almost constantly (only breaking to nap for 5 mins then screams like she's never been fed the minute her eyes open). I'm glad to know it's...

Thanks girls. She fed pretty constantly again friday .. Every hour or so then solidly from 6pm to almost midnight where I gave in and topped her up with a bottle as I was so sore from all that feeding! It seemed to work and we got 3hrs sleep then fed then 3.5hrs sleep then fed then she's just...

Ahh you are as strong if not stronger hun you've done amazingly well...and look we're both still breastfeeding and that's a huge accomplishment for us both. I think its safe to say we've both considered giving up but we are determined not to if we can stand it. I'm told after 12 weeks it should...

Oh wow I think we've hit the 6 week growth spurt....rebecca has fed hourly pretty much all day! I'm exhausted and I feel that she's going to continue this tonight as she doesn't seem like she's going to go to sleep any time soon! *yawn* Oh and if she isn't feeding she's screaming blue murder and...

Haha it's very frustrating especially when I know she's ok I still can't sleep until shes asleep. Ive tried without the dummy but sadly they used the dummy a lot in special care so she's quite reliant on it. If I can get her to sleep without it and she doesn't wake up when I put her down she...

Thanks girls. We tried bathing rebecca last night before her last feed thinking it would tire her out make her have a good feed and then she would sleep sleep sleep.....boy was I wrong haha. It's 3.20am and I haven't really slept and she's fed 3 times since we got into bed at 11.45pm!!! She's...

I can see two lines too! Im so happy for you and praying this is a sticky one. Fingers and toes and everything else crossed xxx

Oh we definitely aren't in a routine....I think I just want to get myself in to a routine so I can do things otherwise I'll end up sitting cuddling her all day every day ;) Bless her I don't even have a bath routine yet as each time I want to bath her she seems to know and wants to feed...

I bet you are still on cloud nine after such a fantastic weekend :) so glad you had the perfect day :) Rebecca is fine she's doing great.... In fact you wouldn't know she was so poorly now to look at her. We are just trying to get in to a routine now Mike has gone back to work. How are you...

Well rebecca had her MRI today and she was a superstar and slept right until about 2 mins before it ended.... it got really loud and made her jump so she spat her dummy out and I couldn't reach in far enough to comfort her much or put the dummy back in (not that she likes the dummy much so it...

It's definitely worth a try and yes the bottle makes them lazy but I'm sure he will be able to feed its just going to take practice (or that's what I tell myself!) We've got a swing that she will sometimes sleep in but it depends on her majesty's mood lol. We have got a bouncer that I haven't...

They suggested the nipple shields as she was sleepy (jaundice and as it turned out poorly) and she'd been having a bottle to get fluid in to her and she wasn't having much luck latching so they almost tricked her in to thinking it was a bottle. My nipples aren't big so she does struggle to...

Thanks girls im looking forward to getting a routine of sorts in place for me and Rebecca just unsure how im find to do so with a baby who isn't keen on going to sleep in her crib... Although she will during the day but only if she falls asleep on me first!

Thanks hun going to try tilting it as thinking about it she was tilted when she was in her neonatal cot so maybe she prefers that. Will also tell mike to give me a tshirt. I tried putting a muslin cloth that id had stuffed down my top all day over her mattress but I guess it makes sense it...

Ahh I'm glad it's not just us then! I'm going to try a hot water bottle in the crib to warm it up before we put her in as I'm sure the coldness of the mattress doesn't help. I was seriously at breaking point last night as all I wanted was a couple of hours sleep and she just would not go...

Omg someone tell me how I get rebecca to sleep in her crib at night.....Shes a monster! Fed at 12am, battled for over an hour until about 1.20am then she was in such a state (angry cry) I had to feed her again to calm her down. Ended up in my arns in bed wide awake...eventually dropped off but...

Ah just remembered that my mum told me the injection they give for the delivery of the placenta can make ppl quite sick. I was given something different (I think) because id been bleeding heavily but I remember my mum warning me about it! So that might account for why you were sick afterwards xx

Aww jess what a journey you had. I can't imagine how scary it was for you when Amelia wouldn't cry....I remember rebecca taking a few seconds (felt like hours!) To respond but thankfully the paed was already in the room but it must have been incredibly scary to see her being taken out the...

I kiss Rebecca a LOT and spend hours just looking at her and telling her how much I love her! both mike and I have said numerous times "how can you love someone so much so quickly?!" Its just the best feeling in the world. As you say cannot wait for all the mummies to be to experience it :) xx

Oh no poor Cole having a cold....fingers crossed it goes before the big day! I think You can use saline drops for his nose and if you have a pharmacy nearby you could ask the pharmacist if you can use any of the snufflebabe stuff etc. I know you could give him some calpol which might ease his...

Oh and Sarah she did have a splint on with the cannula, luckily she doesnt seem bothered but then she had quite a few cannula's in where they stopped working - 2 in her right arm, 1 in her right had, 1 or 2 (I lost count!) in her left arm and1 in her left foot. Poor little baby just about every...

yes it was pretty scary at times poor mike did cry at one point when it all got a bit frantic and the world and it's wife wanted to examine me and feel how the pushing was going and I was exhausted and just wanted the baby out. Yep I had an episiotomy...could have killed the doctor when she...

Ive got my fingers and toes crossed for you hun, if anyone deserves a bfp its you. Im hoping that 2014 will be your year! Xx

Hi hun, when mike and I got married last year my niece was just over 3 months old and she wasn't phased by the noise at all and she loved looking at the lights... In fact she cried when we cuddled her in to us as she wanted to face out and watch the lights! My friend also had her 3 week old baby...

Well it's been a while coming but I thought I would share my BS. Well I was called and asked to go in to the maternity assessment unit on the 30 Jan for a repeat blood test.... so my manager drove me there as parking is a nightmare and they didn't want my BP to be high. Well once I was there...

Well little lady has finished her antibiotics and is cannula free!!!! Wohoo! Health visitor has been and she's now 6lb 10.5ozs so has gained again since Sunday! Here's my little munchkin

I didn't think the G&A did much either.....I kept telling them it only worked when I stopped using it (to which they informed me that was because the pain had gone Haha) but yeah I really didn't think it worked although mike did tell me it made me say things that were totally not what I would...

Hey girls were are doing fine... lack of sleep but enjoying every moment even at 3am when little lady seems to be wide awake! We registered Rebecca today so she is all official! :D She had 5 doses of antibiotics left then the stupid cannula can come out! I can't wait for that to happen...

My baby girl is home where she belongs :D

Well my little lady is certainly better.... she's screamed the place down the moment she decides she's hungry and realises there isn't food going in! We could hear her outside the flipping doors to the neonatal unit! I think the staff are counting down to when she goes home lol. Other than...

Thanks girls more arrangements made today for Monday so certainly looking like it might happen! Little monkey has pretty much fed non stop for the last 2 days. Not sure if it's a growth spurt or she's trying to increase my supply but ouchy is all I have to say! Weve just got home to eat so im...

Thanks girls im so glad she's on the mend! Well we had the meeting with the consultant on Tuesday and it was useful he went over things we weren't sure on and answered all my neurotic questions of do we have to be really careful at home with germs... can people visit or should we wait... will...

Well today we have a meeting with a consultant to discuss Rebecca. I had a bit of a meltdown (yep another!) Yesterday when they told me that the results we have been waiting for still weren't back (were told they would be the Friday and then Monday) and it would still be a few more days...

Rebecca is still feeding well, the bacteria screen came back negative ( they expected this as they had already started antibiotics when the sample was taken) they are still waiting for the viral screen results that we were told would be today but now looks like Monday at the earliest :mad...

Thanks girls it was incredibly hard to leave her last night I sobbed all the way out the hospital and home. I know she's in the right place it's just so hard leaving her but I know she's being looked after by the loveliest people who genuinely care about the babies. It was a tough night with...

Well I'm being discharged tonight and have to leave my baby in hospital. Its killing me just the thought of walking out without my baby I don't know how im going to actually do it :( :(:(:( I really don't understand why this had to happen to us its just not fair im meant to take my baby home...

That's girls. Well little ladies temperature has come down and seems to be staying down. They are spacing the calpol out a little bit more to see what the temperature is doing but overnight it stayed down and little lady even got to wear a vest (first time she's had clothes on since Thursday!)...

Well the icing on the cake was that a couple of my stitches have come apart and are infected so I'm now on antibiotics for that.....obviously just trying to compete with my daughter on who can have the most antibiotics. Other than that the special care nurses have been fab and have done the 3am...

Thanks girls this is certainly the hardest thing I've had to deal with but somehow im trying to stay strong for little Rebecca. She had s settled night and her temperature didn't spike as high as it has been so I'm hoping that's a positive sign. She's been feeding well and even woke for a...

My poor baby girl has meningitis :( :( :( Im distraught and worried sick. They have caught it very early and she had already been on the correct antibiotics before they got the result of the lumbar puncture. She's doing ok they are able to control the temperature with calpol which will...

Thanks girls everyone says I'm strong but I really don't feel it. I just want this nightmare to be over. I never imagined this would happen. Just been to feed the monster and she's still got s temperature and she's laying in just a nappy. She's feeding well and crying well but it's just so...

Thanks girls im really not sure where I'm getting strength from to deal with this. I'm struggling so much. I'm an emotional wreck crying all the time. It's just not fair that we are having to go through this. It really is one step forward and 2 back. I've just got to try to stay strong for...

Well it seems Miss Rebecca wants to puzzle the hospital like her mummy. Yesterday was really looking positive but since Thursday she's had a bit of a temperature but they thought it was environmental due to the double light therapy. Well yesterday she spiked really high temps so she is now on...

Thanks girls. Mike stayed to do the midnight feed and I got about 3 to 4hrs sleep in a solid block which I feel so much better for! The night staff in special care were lovey and with the help of a nipple shield Rebecca fed from me at 3am and 6am as well as taking her bottle. So pleased...

Thanks girls to make things worse they told me she could have the double light therapy in the room with me at 4am then at 8am they told me she had to go to special care :( So my room is empty and I hate it. I can go and sit with her any time but I can't cuddle her and it's not the same with...

Well yesterday was an incredibly emotional day (day 3 blues apparently) I pretty much sobbed the entire day. Little Rebecca wasn't responding to the billiblanket so she now has to have double light therapy.... her billiblanket under her and overhead lights too. The hardest thing is I can't...

My little glowbug

Well this little monkey certainly didn't want this birth to be an easy experience. Yesterday they checked her jaundice levels and she's now got to be treated so has her billiblanket on....shes my little glowbug! She's very sleepy and not very interested in feeding so they are giving her what I...

Aww thanks hun I have to agree she is pretty perfect even if she tends to look a bit grumpy most the time lol....shes a cute grump. I guess she has every right to be grumpy she wasn't ready to be here yet. I love her blanket too my mum gave it to us and it's perfect. Everyone comments on it...

Hi girls, The blood thing was ultra scary... she's quite mucusy following delivery so has been coughing up yellow mucus but the blood freaked me and mike out completely. Luckily it looks like it's just from me. They did 3hrly obs on Rebecca overnight and all has been fine. This is my view...

Thank you girls. We are still in hospital and I really want to get home! They are happy with little lady but now need to monitor my bloods I lost a fair amount in labour and delivery I am now on iron tablets. They are also concerned that my platelets have dropped even further since delivery...

Ho girls just to add it here too. I'm proud to introduce Rebecca to you all. She was born on 2/2/14, 20 days early! Weighing in at 6lb 4oz's. The most perfect little thing ever :D but then again I am biased ;)

My little munchkin xx

Hi girls so sorry for the delay in posting. Mike and I are very proud (and a little shocked! ) to introduce Rebecca Charlotte Joan Lea to you all. Rebecca weighed in at 6lb 4oz's and was born at 10.52am today (2.2.14). Mummy and baby are both fine.... mummy a little sore after a rather...

Omg the back pain is awful! Took some paracetamol at about 12.15 thinking they would take it away enough for me to sleep but nope. Can't lay down as it's worse when I do so got to stay mobile. Fingers crossed the pains are doing something!

Well the process has been started.... no going back now. Propess was inserted at about 2.30pm so far nothing much happening at the moment. Cervix was far back and closed so thinking it's going to take some time! Will keep you all updated xx

Thanks hun xxx

Still waiting for drs to come and see me and prescribe the required meds. They are stuck up on labour Ward/theatre hence the delay. Fingers crossed they get things started soon! Will update you all soon! Xx

Thanks missy :) yeah I'm hoping gas and air will work for me but I'm open to most things so just going to see what I need. They may even want me to have an epidural as it lowers bp slightly which they might want for me. Never imagined it would happen like this but thankful they have spotted...

I know its all moving very quickly and yesterday I was too tired to roll with it but feeling much more prepared today. Poor Mike I even made him almost cry yesterday with how emotional I was. Fingers crossed today will be fine and we can look forward to meeting baby whenever that happens...

Hi girls sorry I didn't get on yesterday. Bit of an emotional day ended up sobbing to a poor midwife about how scared I was there was something really wrong with me (all I got told was bloods were worse but no one ever explained anything) so she sat down and gave us an explanation of what they...

Well dr has been still not happy with bloods done today. They want more bloods (I really will have none left!) And are muttering about inducing tomorrow if still not happy! Eeek.

Just been on the ctg baby is fine and I'm having fairly regular tightenings this morning. Maybe baby lea doesn't want to wait too much longer either! Although no pain so I don't think they are doing anything! I thought maybe they were sympathy pains for the lady who was in here lol. I've had...

They are finally taking the poor girl to labour Ward so she can have an epidural and they are going to give her the drip to speed things up! Bless the midwives are being so patient with her she won't move from her bed. Poor thing hope they sort her out and get baby out

Also a trick my friend was told (cant recall who by though so you may want to check) is to make up a feed with less powder to milk ratio so its effectively upping the fluid content. As I said I can't recall if it was a dr or family member who told her this though xxx

I'm ok tired but otherwise ok. Bp has been stable throughout the night so they've just been and taken more blood (will I have any left?!) And she is going to get it sent off now so hopefully we can get results back before drs come round. Apart from that I've had sympathy braxton hicks...

I wondered that too. Hope you're ok jo xxx

I'd give your gp a call.... it could be the change of milk causing it but certainly 5 days is a long time so gp may want to give you something to help him go. Is poor little Stevie in pain with it? You could try circling his legs (in a riding a bike motion) as rubbing his tummy... sometimes...

They've finally given her some more pethidine and extra anti sickness which seeems to be working at least. I feel for her she must be exhausted as her waters went early hours of the night before. Hopefully she'll get some sleep and her body will continue to dilate. Poor thing she was really...

They moved her to the pool but she's back and not dialated any more so I'm back to listening to "I'm dying". Oh well maybe I slept for 30 mins all night. When they ask me do you have a headache what the hell am I meant to say....yes but because I've listened to someone shout all night and had no...

Bless her she did really well with pethidine but she's got to 5cm and now her contractions are back to back. Her bf is useless so can safely say that I'm not getting any sleep tonight/this morning. I want to go home to my bed

Well not going to get much sleep as they've just bought and early labourer in who is making a fair bit of noise and she's only just 2cm dilated.....joy oh joy!

Thanks girls. Waiting for blood results and drs review which may happen tonight.... secretly hoping they will let me go home but I'm not convinced it seems they don't know what's wrong with me lol. It seems ive got a few things going on and individually they wouldn't be concerned but together...

Well had a call from the maternity unit they wanted me in to repeat some bloods that were taken on Tuesday as the dr wasn't happy. Well turns out I've now been admitted for monitoring. Not really sure what for yet.. they are trying to rule out things as they think its possibly the start of...

I'd have to say a pack of biscuits/crackers/something plain-ish to nibble on by the bed for when i get that 'feel sick because i am hungry' feeling at 3/4am! Also helped at the beginning of pregnancy with nausea.

Hi hun, your food looks amazing! :) Your gain wasn't bad at all for having had so much on at the weekend and as long as you had a good time thats all that matters! :) I am sure some of that gain was probably bump growing too!

Glad you managed to get some sleep last night and feel better today, sounds like things are still happening and hopefully your scan today will confirm what the waters situation is as they surely they should be able to tell how much water is left around baby. Hope you manage to get things going...

Oh no sorry to hear you had such a bad night :( , definitely the right decision to not go to work and rest today! Do you think our bodies are prehaps rebelling against our decision to work until 38 weeks?! Only 7 days to go!!! We can do it (even if there are a couple of sick days in there too!)!!!

No more BH's last night, i did have period type pains again before going to sleep and was all prepared for another night of very broken sleep but instead of BH's i seemed to need to wee hourly throughout the night....i think i got 2hrs of sleep between 3am and 5am other than that i saw every...

Ooh how exciting! Hope everything goes ok for you hun xx

36+4 weeks Well Ive been back at the hospital this morning as I felt so dizzy and sick.... needless to say they have stopped the lobetalol tablets as they think they've made my bp go too low! So back on Saturday to check it but hopefully I'll feel better this afternoon. Woke up with really...

Thanks girls! Fingers crossed the tablets work but urgh I feel pants this evening. :( not sure if it's the tablets or just pregnancy?! I feel sick... then want to eat then feel even more sick so regret eating. Don't fancy anything to easy either so am forcing myself to eat. To make matters...

36+3 weeks Well had my 36 week appointment with the consultant today and my bp was high again so I'm now on lobetalol tablets to bring it down :( They are hoping that as there is no protein in my urine if the nip it in the bud it won't cause any problems. Other than that everything else is...

Oh yes but then I guess we have lazy days so baby must do too. Yeah I bet its always worrying when someone else puts doubt in your mind! Glad she's moving well today though :) Ouch the pains don't sound nice! Could be BH's just keep an eye on them. Ive had period type cramps since about...

Yeah I find that with the office chair at about 3pm.... must be the sitting in the same position for so long! Wow you're dedicated if you're going in the week after you finish. I'm now at the stage where I can't wait to finish. Then again by Thursday next week I'll have handed over all my...

Thanks hun yeah I think it is the right decision.... I've got a heck of a lot on for my last few days so a break will at least give me time to sort baby stuff out etc or just lay on the sofa and do nothing which sounds equally appealing lol. The baby shower was good fun, always lovely to see...

Congrats on the house it's very exciting having a new pad and new baby on the way :) xx

Yours must have passed mine the lazy bug today. It's given me enough wriggles to not be worried but definitely quieter than the last couple of days where it didn't stop moving! Coincides with a hungry day for me too which is how it always is! Glad baby is wriggling though and you're not...

Ah we completely understand. I've been having bad period pains all afternoon at work and can't help but feel excited (although I know it's not anything lol) so with you being 37 weeks it really is any day now and thinking your waters may have gone must have been very exciting! I doubt the rlt...

Hey hun im planning on packing shower stuff and a towel and some fresh pj's as normally after a normal delivery they want you to shower and change before going down to the ward (or that's my experience). Other than that sounds like you've got everything you need. Maybe have a hair brush/hair...

Aww lovely bump you've got going there, and i completely understand the too tight under the boobs thing! Hope your stomach feels less sore very soon! Mmm steak sounds good! Your food looks amazing i wish i had the energy to cook nice stuff - Mike and I always end up with the same old go-to...

When i was doing my training one of my jobs as student midwife was to remove nail polish so i would say no don't bother as they will probably take it off as they like to see the nails as it tells them quite a bit! xx

Glad you called hun, does sound like watery discharge - i have had a few mornings where i've woken up with really wet knickers, but i can see it's just discharge (sorry TMI) and don't get anything else when i am up and about. So i wonder if our hormones do crazy things at night or something to...

36+2 weeks Well i have caved and decided to use some of my annual leave over the next 2 weeks as i am so uncomfortable sitting down i don't think i can do 10 days of working full days (as lame as that sounds) so i have booked Friday off this week and also booked Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday...

Jess it sounds like it could be some extra watery discharge....unless it smells sweet as the others have said. Perhaps put a towel on and see if you continue to leak this morning and then you can call and at least know a bit more. Another thing they say is lay down and see if any fluid...

Big hugs Jo hope you get better soon and I'm sure your mum and hubby are enjoying their time with Joshua. Wishing you a speedy recovery xxxx

36+1 weeks Eeek 36 weeks I'm almost full term! Didn't manage to get on yesterday as I spent the day with my sister trying to finish off the scrapbook we have been doing for the last couple of years for my mums 60th birthday on Thursday. Have felt quite uncomfy and sicky this weekend but going...

Omg baby has definitely got lower and the pressure down there is unbelievable....I want it to move back up I don't know if I like this feeling much! :eek:

Oh yeah definitely i think it's knowing thats going to be baby's bed for the new few years that makes it real....sort of gives him/her a place to be rather than just this unknown entity. It's weird i was really superstitious about getting ready for baby but now i feel ready to get excited and...

Sounds like it could be! I personally prefer your take on it..."shooting pain through my vejayjay" probably much more accurate! ;)

35+6weeks Well last night i went out with my mum and aunt to order the cotbed, was so lovely looking around and getting excited about the baby, it suddenly feels very real. We ordered the one i saw a few weeks ago that comes with the under-cot-drawer and change top - it was lovely in person...

Jess your food looks amazing! Do you want to come and cook for me every day? :D

Baby has got hiccups and it feels like it's headbutting my bum....it's a very weird sensation!

If only we could train them to engage when we want to sit and un-engage when we walk ;) haha.

Ouch that does not sound good! maybe baby's head is engaged and thats causing you the pain? I'm torn i cannot wait to get this baby's bum and feet out of my ribcage but equally not looking forward to all that pressure and stuff down there, i am already waddling well let alone putting a 6lb...

I think you could use the blue for a girl - you'd just have to "pink it up" a bit with the blankets lol. But then again i love royal blue (it was my wedding theme colour!) The cocoon is a good idea, i guess it depends how big the carrycot is as to how much time it will actually get used. Some...

I actually cannot wait to be able to have a really good wee again...haha oh its the small things in life lol!

I like them all, but i am partial to the blue one i think it's lovely! :D

Oooh i like it :) (just had to google it as hadn't seen that one in my searches) - what colour are you going for?

Oooh how exciting!! what pram are you going for? x

Haha love it - i think laying on your left cures an awful lot...it often makes my monster move which can ease the pressure on my ribs. YAY to 36 weeks! :D

Thanks for the suggestion - I will ask Mike if he can pick some up at lunchtime as they might help me out this evening. I personally think it's a tiredness headache, i have been getting up 3,4,5 times in the night each night this week and i guess that has to take a toll. Baby obviously uses my...

Thanks girls - the headache didn't go so i ended up at the hospital to have my BP checked, it was slightly high but not too bad so they just want to monitor it as they aren't sure why the heacahe wont go. Good thing is they did a CTG trace on baby and it was perfect, so baby Lea is nice and...

Yeah i couldn't imagine i'd feel this tired - i always thought women were sort of milking it when they would complain about being so tired in late pregnancy, but now i realise that it really does just hit you like a brick wall! You're right at the start there was hardly any weight to carry with...

Hey hun! Firstly - huge congratulations!!!!!! Joshua is absolutely gorgeous and look at all that gorgeous hair he has!! 9lb 1oz is a fab weight - you did a good job growing him and he looks so incredibly snuggly!! So sorry that you've had a hard time and hope you are both feeling better soon...

Overall i am still feeling OK - apart from my little hiccup this morning but that was the traffic not me, i only have to travel 4 miles so can still manage that as i drive, i park outside and then just walk in to the office. I guess it's just the tiredness but i keep thinking i managed at the...

Oh no can't believe your mw was an hour late! i hope she apologised!! Sorry they couldn't do the sweep hun :( your body is obviously wanting to keep that little bundle tucked up for a little while longer. Fingers crossed that although it wasn't favourable today your body might change it's mind...

Not much longer but i am wishing i would have finished up earlier than 38 weeks, this morning proved to me that it's getting more difficult as i get further along....and i'm only 35 weeks, so still got 3 weeks of baby growth to get through. I am also struggling with tiredness this week. How...

Thankfully i did turn around as i found out it took someone 1hr 45mins to do the same journey as me - only about 4-5miles!....no way i could have waited that long! Maybe baby knew something i didn't! I'm finishing on 7th Feb and it can't come soon enough! Haha oh believe me i went before i...

Hmmm not the greatest start to the day.... left home at 7.20 and at 7.50 I had to turn around (had only got 5 min walk away from home due to standstill traffic) as baby was pressing on my bladder and it was painful and the traffic was not moving! Now at home.... bladder empty and breakfast...

Ooh how exciting to be expecting a boy :) congrats xx

I did no work either so don't worry! I've just been given 2 days of full day training sessions next week :-/ god knows how I'm going to cope! Maybe I can learn how to sleep with my eyes open?! Haha mine likes to wedge it's bum and feet on one side of my ribs.... my be comfy for them. ..not so...

well the sugar from the haribo didn't last and the tiredness has well and truly kicked in this afternoon. I just want to close my eyes. My plan tomorrow is have a little nap in the car at lunchtime if i am feeling this tired. Gotta figure out a way to make the next 3 weeks possible. Doesn't...

I do have moments where mine itch and i moisturise them so i don't think they are dry and they don't feel like they are stretching(got bigger to start with but haven't grown since)....so i assume it's just the changes going on inside?! I have noticed drops of colostrum recently so i guess it's...

Sorry hun too late, i ate 1/2 the bag :eek: lol. I can confirm they do not make me ill but they did send baby a bit crazy and gave it hiccups...too much sugar anyone?! hahaha...Sorry baby! xx

Aww Laura I bet it's lovely watching your children with little Ellen. I really love her name btw :) Frances oh yeah totally I'm ironing everything for baby....even the muslins lol. Uh oh girls ive found something that caters for the sweet fix I want when I want chocolate.... and it doesn't...

Thanks girls, susie it seems to be anything I eat but I think tomatoes are a culprit and possibly onions. Although I had it bad with roast chicken last night. Having a glass of milk seems to have worked. It doesn't help that I feel huge today and feel really full up with baby....im sure its...

awww you girls have created such warm and cosy homes for these January babes that they aren't very eager to come out! xx

Ahh well maybe i'll try a drop of milk. I noticed it on Friday and have experienced it with every meal except breakfast (cereal with milk) so maybe Milk will help me. Going to try a drop now and see if it helps. If it does i'll start having a glass of milk with each meal. Haven't tried...

Girls quick question... I haven't a clue about heartburn but can you get it WHILE you are eating? Over the last few days whenever i eat i get this odd burning/yucky taste at the back of my throat and it makes whatever i am eating taste different. I don't seem to be able to get rid of with a...

I got told if i hadn't heard in 24hrs then you're fine. I had to call for some other results so asked while the mw was checking those and she told me what my reading was so i am sure if you want to check you could call the hospital (i had to call the day assessment unit) and ask what your sugar...

I can genuinely say i normally hate washing and will do the minimal ironing i can get away with, but i can't wait to do the baby stuff! oooh i bet - must be lovely having someone to put in all those clothes! How are you are your little one getting on? x

Yeah i am not sure how i am doing it....well lets be honest i am not really being very productive at work...especially last week i spent most the time on here or browsing the web :p. I just keep telling myself, more time with baby.....thats keeping me going to a certain extent! Plus i...

Welcome and Congratulations to you both! Hope you are both feeling well :) x

I hope you're so busy snuggling your new little man you haven't had a chance to get on here. Hope you're doing ok hun xx

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one! Going to have to keep each other going for the next 3 weeks. I'm so wishing I was finishing this week but I have so much on leading up to my last week I can't change my dates. Really didn't think I'd suffer so badly at the end!

Haha yep I went to bed last night saying to Mike I have to wash baby clothes tomorrow and once our work stuff was done it went in the washing machine! I was meant to pack my hospital bag too today but I just keep staring at it and not putting anything in it :confused: just can't seem to focus...

Oooh so glad they've got things going for you! Fingers crossed things progress quickly with the drip! Good luck and can't wait to see your BA! Xx

35+1weeks First load of baby washing in the washing machine! Eeek makes it feel real.... and reminds me we really don't have many clothes yet..... can see a shopping spree on the cards when baby is here as I don't want to go ott on neutral stuff! My baby stash so far:

Ah how strange that they are names you'be considered! I can't say either of them grab me but maybe they will grow on me....I do like Georgia. Could be a sign! Eek 35 days seems really soon!! Eeep. I know 26lbs... almost 2 stone of babies! I hope that's not a sign that baby lea is going to be...

Eeep 35 weeks today! 5 weeks til due date, 2 until I'm full term (eeep!) And max of 7 until baby is here! Eeek!!! Haha. Had the craziest dream last night, I was pregnant with twins and gave birth to 2 girls who weighed 12lbs and 14lbs (!!!!! :eek:) but the midwife told me that was too much...

That makes sense and probably why I'm going off of names! Lol. I wish I had a definite name like you did but names I liked don't seem to go with mikes surname....I should have married based on surname obviously lol ;) I love the name Cole... I'd never thought of it before but it's lovely...

Hope it works quickly for you hun! Good luck xxx

How did you sweep go today? Any further dilation? Hope you're ok xx

Oh girls names have been a nightmare to match with Lea/Lee weve really struggled! Aww Bobbie is cute for a girl....trust him to think its for a boy! Lol. I'm sure you'll decide soon enough, I just keep saying names in my head and eventually preferred the girls name we like. Boys name im...

I am at least set on the name for today - but believe me i seem to go off them incredibly quick! This is a name that was bottom of my list a month or two ago..so anything could happen! We still need to find a back up name and also find a boy's name we like. :rolleyes: I'm really finding it...

Fingers crossed these January babies make their appearances soon! I'm looking forward to seeing more BA's!!!

Big news....i think Mike and I may have decided on our top girls name!!! :D Lets hope i don't change my mind again as i keep changing my mind! haha.
