Seriously thinking about Atkins again / love this diary!! X

Didn't realise you had started a new diary!! :-) xx

Oh and after reading yr whole diary...what's the update with that special someone?? Xx

Wow what a transformation!' I've 'rejoined' for the 3rd time and 2015 will be our year!! Here to subscribe xx

Yeah 9.9% but to me that's 10% to work it out easy!! Never thought about the post office - do I need an account?? I was only trying to put the money into my bank account to spend later when the cashier said they charge to 'handle' such large volumes of coins!! I should charge them to...

Good idea - prob would t change it all in one go but I can save it together. Not sure what we are going to spend it on yet but we said we would choose together :-) I'm thinking holiday deposit and he is thinking football tickets lol x

They take 10% which I know it goes to charity but I'd prefer to choose which charity I give that volume of money to (does that make me seem mean?!)

Thank you for this thread. I rejoined yesterday after leaving in June and the consultant wasn't or wouldn't give a new me never talk as she expected there to be many people there next week! All she asked me is if I recall the EE plan and said I could read the new SP plan myself!! So...

My bank e-mailed me for credit card transferred at 0% for 20 months an I do believe the card they are on now runs out in feb so perfect timing!! I also saw somewhere a person was putting money to save which is hard to explain but let me try Week 1 = 10p Week 2 = 20p Week 3 = 30p etc etc I'm...

How do I know about reflux?? Oh and a pic to make us smile xx

It looks like he is goin through one. But yeah teething too... Along with all the food I'm worried about him eating or not eating...hard work!! Lol xx

Can anyone with that wonder week app tell me if there is a 10/11 month sleep regression we could be going through?? Xx

Do babies put a strain in everyone else's relationship? Or is it just ours?? :-/ x

The chicken looks lovely!! :-) - as does the cake of course! Lol x

When you get the answer will you let me know...Stevie still loves his hands for teething ha ha xx

That would make sense!! 600kals is was too low for me unless one off! X

We didn't wean till 24 weeks due to the milk allergy thing. However up until 26/27 weeks he was waking up 11pm, 1/2/3am 5am for the day!! I didn't feed him every time he woke as there sometimes wasn't even an hour between him finishing food and waking again!! Babies make their own rules!! Lol xx

Hi - hope u don't mind me tagging along!! :-) xx

Could just be a hungry day! We all have them...I'm having a hungry life!! Lol xx

We have days/nights where Stevie has an extra milk in the night cos he doesn't eat as much in the day. On Sunday night he had 10oz in the night and a rusk (but we knew he hadn't eaten all he should have!!) xx

For us every day is different / one thing is always top... His hands!! We have cold teethers, rings, rattles...all to be chewed. Sometimes he like cucumber, sometimes melon...always likes his hands!! Ha ha ha. Sophie took a lot to get used to but he does use it. I was worried it was a £15...

Saw this on Facebook. I know it's not a Ewan the sheep but for the price might be worth it for those struggling with sleep?!

Excellent!! Well done you on not giving in to the cold hunger pangs!! (I know I did!) :-( xx

Well done on sticking to syns!! X

:-( last time it said to talk to the doctor, they said no! :-( Thanks for the info tho!! We r going to b hard core and stick to bonjela and calpol!! Lol xx

Would you be able to check the ingredients for me on the leaflet?? We've struggled finding granules that Stevie can have! They either contain milk/lactose or can't be taken by children with milk allergies!! No idea why!! We've got through it with calpol and bonjela which I have a habit of...

Well done xx

I came to view your thread to see if the Yorkie buttons are a part of it and I'm greeted by Jessie talk...lol x

The odd day won't make much difference...I've known me have 2 x hex b's one day and none the day after to make it up ha ha. This is not what the rule book says of course hehe x

Haven't had a story i On here for a while :-) love them all. !! Congratulations xxx

Food looks yum!! Not sure your lunch would keep my full tho!! Do u feel hungry after it? (Or during the afternoon) I think if have a mug shot with it...or a hex b of ryvitas...what was your hex b? X

Congrats on the award!! And love yours diary... Following for food ideas (I really need to get back to it!!) xx

Well done on yr loss so far! Did you buy everything from eBay? X

Congratulations xxxx

Really scared me!! Lol :-) I will assume that's where they are meant to me. The 3rd tooth is def a side one...a canine one x

Completely different question topic now...teeth. I felt Stevie's 3rd tooth last night and today when I had a proper feel it's not a front tooth but I side one... When we were out at the park he was laughing and I was trying to see it. He was relaxed so I peeled his top lip back and I could...

Love the directory idea!! :-) Seeing as my diary is a 2014 one I've got January-June totally u touched!! :-) I rung my HV again to ind she was off on leave. However I spoke to someone else (a HV) who said she will refer us to the paediatrician and/or dietician :-) until then, I'm to stick to...

If it's not getting in your way I would keep it for now! Stevie was 6 months when we stopped feeding in the night. Dream feeding didn't work for him as he still woke up but then just wasn't hungry! We didn't stop the night feed until he was weaning! The HV did 'tell me off' for that, but...

Help!!! Potential allergy question. Stevie has milk from the doctors cos the suspect cows milk protein allergy. No tests ever been done just gone on my explanation of symptoms. Anyway today I have him an alpro soya yogurt as the HV said it would be ok. I've now got a very restless baby -...

Stevie went in his cot in his own room from about 8 weeks cos he was waking himself and us up!! We left all the doors open so didn't feel too far away. Weaning - Stevie was 'big' born just short of 9lbs and didn't struggle to gain weight. We tried some baby rice at about 13 weeks but it upset...

Tbh the GP I saw I've seen before and never had a problem with him. Even the HV was surprised. But she said to not worry about going back at all! He has woken up (at 4:30) on top form and almost all the rash has gone again...on with writing it all down!! :-) xx

HV said to her it def looked like an allergic reaction. So we are writing everything He eats down then if it happens again we can look at it. Also once his face is clear, I can try half a teaspoon of yogurt and see what dairy he can actually tolerate (if any!!) x

I think I need to take u with me!! Lol we'd make a good team hehe. The HV is due at 11am and I'm hoping she can shed some light on it for me. No1 in my family has ha allergies before so to be dealing with a baby with a milk allergy is new to us all - I think it's a reaction to something...

I'm so annoyed. Yesterday I took Stevie for a picnic and his rash under his eyes came back up, so I rang the doctors and got an appointment. The doctor I saw was really dismissive and said 'I'll make a note u brought him again' ...I at the time laughed it off. He also said keep going with...

Thanks ladies - it seems to have take a turn for the better - less red and possibly less swollen. Still keeping an eye on it and seriously contemplating takin him to the GP tomorrow if it's still the same - i don't want to seem stupid but like you have said, eyes are v sensitive. It might just...

I totally got behind on here but have officially finished the 100 days happy and posted then on FB Here is my #day100!

I need help not to turn into an over protective new mum!! Stevie woke up on Thursday with a swollen eye. Didn't look too bad, thought he might have scratched it in the night. By dinner time it looked more swollen and red. Also had blotchy rash under both eyes. So I took him to the doctors who...

Stevie didn't fit in his bumbo for long cos of his legs!! Lol. We have a jumperoo which he loves!! He also loves his ball pool :-) in fact my boy just loves playing with his toys no matter what!! Xx

Day 74...last rolo!!

Day. 73 My big boy on the swings and an early night!! !

Let me tell you I work as a teacher and working is by far easier than looking after Stevie all day!! As soon as I get home I take Stevie off my mother and I was still doing feeds in the night etc... I've had a similar situation with my hubby today. We take it in turns to have a sleep in on...

Holiday for me...I'm never reaching my target lol

Day 62 - went to see Robbie Williams an my nephew was singing on stage with him x

That sounds good - where is it from?? I've attached one of those spiral snake things which I think is for a push chair to the cot - Stevie plays with it when he wakes in the morning but I think he's getting bored of it so need something new!! We've just opened and programmed his Leapfrog...

What's everyone doing about keeping babys bedroom cool at night?? My monitor says it's 22*c in Stevie's room at the moment. We've got the window and doors to hallway etc open but it's not working!! :-( xx

A cold water soaked rag/cloth for him to chew so if it's his teething it can sooth?? X

Day 56 - my friend having twins!! Day 57 - ordering Father's Day cards and gifts Day 58 - relaxing the plan to enjoy myself Day 59 - Stevie's attempt at joining in with the World Cup Xxx

Stevie reduced his milk I take v quickly once weaning started!! He only has 2 bottles as day now (both mad up to 8oz but he doesn't always finish them) At weekends when he is with us he will often take a 3rd bottle in the afternoon - think that's more our habit tho. To reduce milk in the...

Day 55

2.5 off for me please :-)

What a day!!! :-/ Hope u have a better evening xx

Woop!! Get you xx

Awww looks like the money is watching him lol xx

Why not limit the wine to x-amount per week or per month?? X

You can get it for free at our doctors on prescription xx

#day52 Also think I might have skipped a day if others are on 53...oh well :-) xx

Day 51 xx

Was a STS this week for me...I was lucky lol

They don't think it's wasting their time!! That's why they say and changes in movements should be checked out! It will put yr mind at ease xxx

Day 49 Freddo!!! Today - day 50....happy for 50 days in a row xx

How you doing?? Xx

Dont feel pressured! I thought after I'd posted that it might seem a bit much when you were all saying how u like it to relax to! Lol I'm making my own Mr Men bunting, hoping I can master making some larger Mr Men out of those lantern lamp shades (hope ppl know what I mean!!) but I'm not...

Does anyone think they could make some Mr Men toys?? I'm planning my LOs first birthday (in October) and looking for lovely things to go in party bags suitable for babies and young children?? I would pay obviously!! Xx

10lbs for me please :-)

My hubby doesn't follow SW (although I'm sure there's a couple of stone he could lose!!) and is also a big chocolate an take away eater!! To compromise, I have agreed to 1 take away a month (usually after pay day) and I eat whatever I want - and refuse to feel guilty!! Then one other weekend...

OMG this is me!! I've finally found a curry restaurant he likes and we go maybe 4 times a year - I have curry and rice. He orders breads, chips etc. It's funny isn't it. Whoever invented breadcrumbs should be shot!! Lol

I wouldn't worry too much - when I slip like that the get back on, I find I still lose that week overall. Sometimes more than when I have been good all week!! It's like it kick starts my body!! X

Day 45

So I was recommended teething granules by a few people. Went to collect Stevie's milk today and thought if get some...not suitable for children with milk allergies!! :-( Any other suggestions?? I'm going to order one of those mesh feeders then freeze some fruit for him to chew on... X

Of course - or start at yr day one and the thread will keep going lol xx

Ours contradict themselves. They say 'wait till 6 months' closely followed by 'at 6 months they should be on 3 meals a day' How is that possible if you wait till 6 months?? We were over 5 months before starting properly with Stevie but only cos of his allergy. We did try baby rice and baby...

Day44 (yesterday) Ate totally guilt free :-) I feel like I'm building a better relationship with food!! X

Love reading these stories!! Part of me would love a 2nd baby and natural birth...but I'm scared after mine so u would be requesting a c section lol xx

#day43 :-) Extended reading time with Stevie and I didn't cry at this book (first time ever!!)

Huge congratulations xx

Complain!! They should at least put a warning on others in future or might recall it!! X

Make some SW chips, top with hex-A of cheese and beans!! Proper hang over food!! Plus if u have yr hex b u could grab some wholemeal bread :-) Yummy!!! Perfect by itself on a green day but u could have fruit after to make it 'healthier' :-) Good luck xx

Hi and welcome!! :-) I've recently rejoined after gaining weight when pregnant - it works so in sure u will be fine!! X

Day. 41 All day with my miniman xxx

Are u skipping 10 days?? Lol Xx

We got what we thought was a good high chair but it's actually hard work!! I will post a pic of it when I go downstairs. Spoons - look for flatter ones as I have some 'first taste' spoons and we can't get the food out of the dipped bit so food has to be piled on which is hard when sloppy...

Yey!!! So exciting!!! Xx

Day 40 Writing all the school reports!! Xx

Excellent loss!! Well done :-) x

Ok 'cook' is maybe too strong a word!! I quickly cooked a potato and scooped it out - blended (with lumps) along with his milk, some cooked veg (which I'd made ratatouille out of) and a spoon of tinned tomatoes. He ate a fair but but I think it filled him much faster than a pouch as I don't...

#day38 I cooked and Stevie ate it!!! Not a pouch in site!!! Xx

Yey!!!! The official words!:-D xxxx

Bath time with the boy - think I'm in day 37...need to check

Good idea!!! X

Day 36 School trip with lovely weather

That one is definitely showing - no1 would argue otherwise!'n Woooohoooooo congratulations!! :-) xxx

Off topic... What are people getting their OHs for Father's Day?? Xx

I think so too!! Sooooo exciting :-) xx

Day 33 2 friends having their babies this weekend xx

Maybe ring in the morning and ask for a blood pressure check? It will only be due to the weather but worth getting it checked out. My feet were really swollen towards the end - a massage took the swelling down a bit - when I went in with raised blood pressure they asked about my swelling...

How fast has the swelling come up?? Cos my midwife said any 'sudden' swelling should be checked out xx

I'm thinking I should go look for a 1 tog sleeping bag today - Stevie's still in vest and grow and 2.5 tog bag...I've no idea when I'm meant to swap things lol. Why do these babies not come with a book!! Lol xx

Day 31 and day 32

Pic of the 2nd line please!!! I got a v faint 2nd line originally - I wouldn't say it's fully not over yet!! Xx

Yes and yes!! And Stevie's 7 months old this week!! Every now and again I can feel it in my bra and if I give a squeeze some comes out! Only a tiny amount tho!! Xx

Day 25 Taking an afternoon nap with my miniman xxx

Day 24... It's the weekend - that is it!

Yey!! I've been following nearly 2 weeks and can tell I'm 'feeling healthier' regardless of weight loss!! One thing u do that I need to do is EAT MY SYNS!!! I can't eat a 'treat' like a choc bar without feeling like I'm not dieting and binging!! I just can't do it! :-( x

Day 22...watching an old advert on YouTube and laughing loads !! Hey pea... Lol

Lol - it's not me who likes them...Stevie does!! Lol. He seriously dances and beams smiles at the music!! We put it on before bed every night!! Lol xx

It is way too addictive!! I'm already planning's Stevie's birthday party with it...if u search for me u will totally know my theme idea! My user is caiq67 - don't think my 'real' name works tho! Lol xx

Thanks - I lost 5lbs! :-D x

Day 20 Big sleep with Stevie in our bed this afternoon xx

Yey to SW!! Tomorrow if my first official weigh in!! :-) xx

When I used SMA I used to make a couple of bottles at a time and keep them in the fridge. At night I took bottles up ready mixed as I knew the longest they would be out was 6 hours... I know some will totally disagree with me but that's what I did When we switched formula onto the one the...

Day 18 Stevie's first birthday party!! We got to meet buzz!! Also I have eaten incredibly well!! :-D xx

You won't regret it!' Xx

I claimed an early one this morning!! Spending an extra 10 mins in bed with Stevie before work :-) xx

Day 14 - time to play with Stevie xxx

I swapped Stevie from SMA gold to SMA hungry baby, back to gold, then to aptimal comfort milk, then straight into his perception milk an never had any difficulty! Good luck!! X

Day 13 First day of the diet done...ready to be skinny!!

Going to class Tuesday but starting tomorrow with a cold turkey on the chocolate lol xx

Can't 'weight' to be joining u in the losses!! :-) Well done you xxx

Thanks - will look forward to that soon then lol xx

What's that grey bit at 28.5 weeks?? Stevie is 28 weeks today - I'm scared lol x

What was yr first date?? You could redo that?? Or cinema trip (obviously baby free!) A family pic Nic? (U can take any food u want then!) Hmmmmm.....8...think of what rhymes with it (loosely I think) date, wait/weight, fate, late, ...lol not much help there then unless u go see a physic...

I have a lost of rewards which include: Pandora charms Manicure New DVD Long bath with trashy mags (a luxury since Stevie!!...in fact just not happened since Stevie) New item of clothes New nail varnish I love treating myself lol xx

The tubs lasted us around 7-8 days when we fully went into bottle feeding. (He was around 4 weeks old then) The reason they didn't last us longer was because I used to throw away what he left straight after a feed, then 30 mins later we were making another!! Lol By the time Stevie went onto...

It's an early day 9 from me... :-) xxx

Day 7 Impromptu road trip with hubby and Stevie cos it was raining...and the roads were empty!!

I've no idea what off duty is lol x

Doesn't it always!! This happened soon after we found out we were having Stevie...finally got a mortgage sorted (had made one payment) and Stevie was discovered...then we needed to quickly decorate so he could have a room (meant we moved our bedroom and living room!!) then I needed a...

Deleted post :-)

It was my first time there. I went for a stuffed one. It was meant to have chilli and cheese stuffed in it- I must have missed it!! Lol xx

#day6 of #100dayshappy Went to meet some old uni friends at meadowhall. Got to meet one 'baby' (9months old but never met her and have a cuddle/squeeze of my god daughter! Handmade burger co, hotel chocolate and a late birthday present!! Best bank holiday Monday xx

TMI post alert... So I'm on the depo injection which has just about stopped my periods. I have still tracked the spotting I've had on my phone app and it says my cycle is 34 days long. Anyway, I just went for a poo and there was 'pressure' - when I wiped there was quite a lot of blood and...

Huge congratulations xx

Awww thanks for that - I've just given it a thorough read :-) Def going to try finger foods again! :-) he only eats smooth things at the moment so need a few lumps in there now I think :-) although he does have weetabix which is much thicker and a different texture! My HV is useless. Haven't...

OMG really?!?! I wonder if that's why I broke BoTH my knee caps?!?! Yes actually snapped one knee cap and when having it glued together and pinned (which involved them cutting my shin bone and re-setting it) they looked at my other knee to see it was also broken and had been for some time!! So...

Day 4 Finding Stevie new Easter duck (gift from my bro, GF and LO) dressed as Kermit the frog!! Not great but really made me laugh at the time!!

Thanks for that :-) I started it around 10 weeks after Stevie was born. I've had it before for 3 years with no side effects at all!! When it runs out I will look I to a different one xx

The depo injection - is that a hormonal one?? Lol. It's been 6 months now and I'm getting more! :-( x

To ladies who have had their babies: I have has little patches of what looks like dry skin all over one of my legs since I came out f hospital - and now some have appeared on my other leg! :-( They r v dark coloured, don't itch and I have tried different moisturisers etc. They do not look nice...

#day3 - going to see the lion king xx

Amazing!! Xx

Day 2 - Stevie related...pics of him 1 - the start of playing with blocks, 2 - getting tired 3 - having a proper lay down!! Lol

Day 1 Stevie's first e-mail to me!! Xxx

Hubby and my mum told me mine had dropped...then the day after told me it has risen!! (I'm not even sure if this is possible lol) xx

I've put it in 'general weight loss' then the 'challenges' section. It's called: #100dayshappy challenge - please join in Looking forward to seeing everyone's happiness xxx

I the 100 days happy challenge is just that. Time to be happy for 100 days!! If we can get pics to show great, but sometimes it's just a 'feeling' etc so we can share those! :-) So today is my day1...please join me whenever you can!! Official day 1 info to follow. Good luck to everyone...

Where is best to put it?? I was going to out it in the slimming world off topic but we aren't all on SW... Where will people find it?? X

Ladies - it's occurred to me that we (me included) have started being a touch negative....so does anyone fancy the 100 days happy challenge?? I'm thinking a new thread where we can post our happy moment/ thought etc for 100days!! :-) Some of u may have seen photos etc with the hashtag...

Just what I was going to say (not that I can get my head around it since having Stevie!!) xx

Interesting. My hospital said they wouldn't operate until 'if had all my children' - when I said I had, they replied with - 'well when u r past child baring age' How did u manage to get it done now?? How long did it take to heal?? Xx

Thanks for that! I was starting to think it it got worse with my cycle - I have the depo injection tho so don't 'see' much of a period! Just slight spotting and now the aching! I personally would like another baby but hubby's not convinced - however if I did have a 2nd I would be asking for a...

Totally agree!! Stevie is 6 months old now (officially yesterday) and sometimes it itches, sometimes feels like it's pulling, sometimes feels like it's shrivelling.... What was normal is def not there now...maybe this is my new normal!! Lol x

Lol at farting!! Stevie did that to me when I was putting cream on him...I was checking (closely) him bum to make sure I had put it everywhere and he farted in my face!! Yuk!!! Lol did make us all laugh tho!! Xx

Hi ladies. Sorry been AWOL - phone is slowing dying on me!! Quick question to those who have had episiotomies - Does yr scar hurt/ache?? Mine feels like I need to nip it to release some tension/pain... A couple of weeks ago (4-5) I found a huge spot at the top of the scar which I popped...

Had a good sleep despite 3 poo-y nappies It's beautiful outside Hubby is currently cleaning the house whilst I drink tea

Welcome back!! I think we all need positivity!! X

Well I do feel sorry for people who are jealous... :-( poor girl. I def shouldn't feel bad for putting my mug pic online... I have loadsa friends putting their gifts and cards online etc so shouldn't be made to feel bad! Hope everyone's had a good day xxx

If yr not going bk after a baby the mat pay is significantly lowered as far as I'm aware. You would still get SMP tho...along with whatever they do give u...but in the run up u would be getting a full wage!! I think it's a judgment call that only u and hubby can make xx

Leaving again for??.....maternity again, yes. To leave the job - I think u have to pay some back xx

Moan alert!! Why do some people insist on making you feel like a twit?! (Replace I for A) I don't put pics of Stevie on my Facebook account, sometimes have his head etc on but only really used one where his face can be seen, Anyway, this morning I posted the pic below and one of my...

1- enjoying my first ever Mother's Day!! 2 - feel really loved :-) 3 - still managed some healthy meals this weekend despite knowing I was going 'off plan' for meals/days out etc xx

Well Stevie will be 6 months in 2 weeks....is that half a cake?? I will let u know! :-D hehe. I think the birthday celebrations I have planned for Stevie already is going to result in cake, cup cakes and proper old school party foods I've not had in years!! Jelly and ice cream, mini sausages...

I think there should be an app developed to warn us about these things!! Lol x

I have come to the conclusion (and need to share with the people yet to have a baby) that yes giving birth is painful, but being sleep deprived for months is the true killer!! Stevie is 24 weeks old and has never slept through (gave me one night where he almost after his jabs) Last night was...

Omg I never thought if that - before Stevie was born in August I washed his clothes and dried them on the washing line without giving it a thought (nothing bad happened to him!! Lol) It's totally up to you tho as I don't use dettol in his wash...I just wash his stuff like I do ours xx

I've just started Stevie on it at 5.5 months - he wasn't a fan of home cooked carrots but on that day did like banana! I wanted it to be a positive experience and I'm mixing jars, pouches and home cooked! Will prob be more home cooked over the next few months as he eats what we eat...it's hard...

What about a watch and get it engraved on the back from u and Joshua xx

I really miss being preg!! And like some others have already said I missed it from the first day ! So much so that by week 4 I was beggin. Hubby to have a 2nd now!! Lol. No such luck tho... I have Stevie after all xx

Some good news for those who struggle with weight like me... I had a depo injection tonight and the nurse weighed me. I explained I'd not been happy with my loss (think she confirmed 4 lbs in 3 months!!) and I said I used to be good at dieting but can't do it now The nurse laughed!! She said...

Wow I leave minis for one day as pages to catch up on!! Right....not essentials but 'waste of money' items - outfits in 0-3. For starters people but then for you and then they are so fussy to put on sleep suits t best for days and nights (Stevie is 5 months and we still do this :-) let them...

You have done so many amazing weeks at BFing... If you are torn then I would FF...Seth will continue to gain weight, you won't feel the pressure of feeding and u might feel better... No1 can ever take the BFing that u have done away!!! But....I am just one opinion xx

What's that? I had a perineal breakdown after a bad episiotomy - is that the same/similar? Xx

I for one didn't cry when Stevie was born. Even when he was taken away for assistance I just stared numb (then asked for has and air as the stitching up was painful!!) I think looking back now the first few months were up and down for me and feelings. Cos of the general pain and additional...

Stevie used to love sleeping on hubby's chest... Now he just won't do it!! We never had success (or I thought we didint) with tummy time but now he is happy to lay on his tummy and lift his head for over 5 mins...he even pulls his legs up into a crawling position but not his arms as such...

Thanks :-) I mean these are quite 'chubby' legs if I do say so myself lol x

Right I know babies get chubby legs but this is Stevie's knee - does it look normal?? I have had both my knee caps pinned due to them not 'running on their tracks' so had terrible trouble growing up (not that anyone believed me till I was 20!!) Let me know what you think...

Stevie had a cold before he had his first jabs so I can't really comment as he was ill anyway. He did do one bad nappy a few days after but nothing major. The one thing I do recall was him sleeping lots!! I wrapped all my Christmas gifts on his jabs day xx

Ladies I'm having a moment....a whole day if them!! Just watched OBEM and was teary missing my baby bump....I have a huge 18lb baby here who I love more than anything but I want a tiny new born too!!! Lol. Then I log onto Facebook to see a pregnancy announcement! Which is amazing but I want...

It does sounds good - above way to reintroduce food too so t the end it's 'normal' xx

Ladies a pre warning... Stevie is 19 weeks old and a Mars bar just jumped in my mouth!! The two must e connected! Why else would a Mars bar do that?! Lol It was so yummy but I ate it in 1 min flat!! :-/ foolish! The next one I will take my time over lol xx

Mixed. It's sometime 2 steps forward 1 step back!! He has had a cold inc sore throat which meant 3 nights of him waking up every hour crying :-( Then we had sickness and diarrhoea this weekend (3 bed changes on sat night) but last night was good!!! :-) I'm ready to start weaning but his...

Thanks - I've googles and if I actually go on my laptop and not my mobile aptimal have created 21 recipes for the milk he uses!! Lol. I suppose someone took the hassle away from it. I think once I get going I will be ok...I was just shocked as if never thought about it!! No yogurts etc. The...

Too cute!!! Xxxx I too got thrush and I got it again when I had my first period so stock up on the treatment xx

It seems a day fr requesting help...so here goes... Health visitor has been and took Stevie's weight and went 'wow' when she left I checked and he has gone from the75% Centile to above the 91st...when she said wow I asked if I should 'be concerned' and she said no the milk is just working well...

How's everything yr end?? X

If you but something from amazon then the price goes down the next day you can e-mail a complaint and they credit your account with the money! :-) I'm not sure if it works the other way tho u seeing the price then it going up when u buy. I think it has something to do with the whole 27 day...

Good to know it's not just me:us!!! ;-) I'm going to go to tesco this week and buy a pack of 6-9's to see how they fit and like u said PJ bottoms and tops! Good idea about cutting off the feet!! Xx

Right ladies, I'm struggling Stevie was 4 months old on the 12...his 3-6's from asda were too small after a couple of weeks, his mothercare grows are too small now (he had one on and it's the last time) and I think his next grows have a week or so left... I have some 6-8's stored mainly from...

Thought I might try this...

I'm so glad to hear it. I for one was shocked to read what had been written!!! Utterly shocked!!! And I too had chocolate in the form of a malteaser bunny!! ;-) xxxx

Not only was the blood loss terrible and made me light headed I occasion,the blood/moisture made the scar sting and irritated the hell out of it xx

Hi Suzie As u know I'm also an episiotomy survivor...we have DTD three times (if I can recall) since I was given the ok and each time it has stung and feels the skin is stretch lots...I am assuming this is normal and will go over time and more DingTD but cos it's sore hubby is reluctant. I...

It's sore to touch and v bumpy but apart from that I'm ok. My first period gave me dreadful thrush which was a killer but had the injection since so periods stopped!! :-) Only DTD 3 times since Stevie but all worked as far as I'm aware x

It sounds better than poo pie hehe x

What's his favourite football team for example? U could theme his food to either the colour or summat. Or make baby orientated things - milk pudding, poo pie lol maybe not!! Ha x

When I was 18 my dad sent me 18 birthday cards through the post - maybe 30 birthday cards?? X

Well it's been a long time coming as Stevie is now 4 months old but here is my birth story. Had raised bold pressure from about 37 weeks so went for weekly visits and blood pressure checks in between. Went to MW at 40 weeks and she wouldn't perform a sweep :-( Went at 41 weeks thinking I...

Joshua is beautiful :-) xx

Awwwww I know all of which u talk about. My episiotomy did get infected...will talk to you more about it if u want. Don't wanna bore others with it. I totally get the sleep thing although Stevie wasn't ill like Joshua he had a few little hic ups. You WILL get there and u will feel better...

Cuddle?!? Just give me sleep!! Lol xx

Still really mixed - went for a poo on Thursday morning (when I was at work!) and my mum said there was at least 3 nappies worth. Then on Thursday tea time when we were at the doctors getting his 16 week injections he did a tiny little (very stinky) one too! And I thought that was a sign that we...

Well done for not giving up after a slight gain!! :-) xx

Subscribing :-) congrats on the birth of Bella - she is adorable xxx

Who's next in the baby list??? Xx

Oh and the pooing - that's prep for when u poo yrself in labour lol. I can so see yr face screwing up now ;-) hehe xxx

I had these types of things for the last 4 weeks if not 5 weeks of my pregnancy!! :-) I truly believe that yr body makes u wake at night to prepare you for the hell ahead lol ;-) u may have a good sleeper...tbh I don't have a bad sleeper so can't imagine how I'd have been with a ba sleeper lol xxx

You seem very determined...can't wait to find my determination lol xxx

Beautiful photos!!! What a stunner you have!! Sorry to hear u have had it hard - I can totally sympathise with it all but it will get better and u find time to do all u did before and more! (U will just learn to get a shower in 10% of them time u used to lol) xxx

Well ladies I was all set to ring the Drs for an afternoon appointment when my mum text to say he had been...then an hour later she text to say he had done 3 more!! So 4 poos today!! My poor baby! She said although he was fussy before doing them he didn't cry...was just a bit unsettled. They...

Help ladies. Stevie's hasn't had a poo since Monday!! On Monday he did 3 in 5mins cos he hadn't had one since the Friday! (A week ago today) his Friday one was his first explosive nappy cos he hadn't done one on Thursday!! - that's as far back as his bowl movements were noticeable! I went...

Steam - so maybe a bath and when he is in the bath the shower running hot? A large bowl of hot water in the room so that the air isn't dry! I also opened a jar of vix and left it on the side so Stevie could smell it - no idea if it helped!! :-) xx

8lbs 15oz Which people have tried to tell me is like 1.5 the size if babies born at 6lbs which is quite common!! Xx

Oh that makes Stevie the size of a small beast at 14 weeks and 16lbs ! Lolxx

It is the best feeling ever!! Stevie is 14 weeks an I constantly watch him and smile! I can't believe that we made him...and he is just so perfect :-) When he does new things like the giggling the other night my heart just melts! Plus he really is a mummy's boy at the moment and loves sitting...

How does yr car just set in fire?! Glad u weren't in it!! X

Ladies please take advantage. X

Hope everything with Joshua is going well and u are out if hospital xxx

What pregnancy advice book would u recommend? A lady had asked on my thread but the one I was given is like a brick and I never read much of it!

Congratulations!! And how cute is he?! I am jealous of all that hair! Stevie will be 12 by the time he gets hair like that :-) Sorry u have had a rough time but at the end of it all you and Joshua will be home together and it will all be with it!! :-) xxxx

Hi - well done in your loss and slimmer if the week! :-) Food looks great I'm goin to get some ideas from this diary x

Awwww no :-( how annoying!! I was 41 weeks before they even offered a sweep!! Even then I was induced the day after. I know the feeling of getting so far and just wanting it to be over now!! Big hugs xx

Don't read this when excess hormones are flowing!!!

Don't over but clothes as tempting as it is - everyone buys u them!! If we do it again we aren't getting a Moses basket as within 4 weeks it was too small - cribs are similar price but a touch bigger so would last longer :-) We bought and have never used: Electronic bottle warmer 0-3month...

They broke my waters when I was 2cm and I've gotta say it didn't hurt - I was having contractions every 2-3 mins tho!! Xx

Mine is actually called white noise / see pic x

Good luck!! Can't wait to hear baby is here xxx
