Discovery Home & Health

Well another hot hot hot day here again,
Went for a walk around carboot this morning but its was sooo hot had to come from there, not before my hot roast pork bap, with apple sauce and stuffing though... yum!
Mason was really good and slept in the sling, but he was all sweaty when i got him out..
Well, my midwife came this afternoon, final visit, she said she was quite sad to be saying goodbye forever, well under these cir****tances anyway, she was asking me about contraception and would i be putting the coil back in, i said not after the side effects i had with the last one, so she said maybe use something short term then think about getting sterilized well, i will deffo have to think about it, long and hard- excuse the pun.. OMG, i need to shut up! (no guessing what topic of the week is here then?!!)

So sezzy... hows things? let us know soon how you are, we are all dying to know!!!(i'm sure you all are, am i right ladies??)

pobs.. what kind of night did you get? mason was in with me again all night, so no change here, but i think i am adjusting to the sleep pattern now coz i am managing to get through the days without feeling sleep deprived!
mw seems to think maybe he doesn't have colic but has just had a 3 week growth spurt!!! well he was weighed today at 11lb 7oz!!!! he has put on a whole pound in a week!!!! i cant believe it! have you had scarlett weighed again?

amy... hows your chilled out household doing? managing to stay chilled despite the heat i hope..!

Kate.. Hope the pains are not giving you too much jip and you are getting some rest.

Paula.. How are things with you, more sitting in the sun on the agenda?

righty, my nephew is playing with Jordan, Holly and Abbie are playing with a dolls house i paid £1 for from carboot this morning and mr.windy is sleeping in pram next to me so i am going to get the tea going before all hell breaks loose, then i am taking my nephew home and getting kids bathed and bed, Feel loads better today and mason seems to be letting me get a little more achieved so i am off now til later!!

Hello to everyone else, Kirsten, babyno5, Kirsty, ualreadykno, Pj, Jess, meadow, Emzieh..phew, hope i got you all!!
Also hi to Kelly from bumples and Michie and Jo!!

Emma & Mason. xx

Ah kate.. cross posted, thats fine, i'll leave the chart for you tomorrow then
IKWYM about dressing your baby being a personal thing, ive had acouple of things that ive no intention of using.. and the people who bought them are the kind of people who expect to see him in them everytime they see him.. its sooo annoying, i'll just sell them on ebay as BNWT lol!!!

well i gotta go check tea,

Emma. x

hi every1 well been a hot day today!! hope you all had nice weekend...
i been out for the day to teignmouth about 45mins drive from me, was nice day but bit uncomfortable traveling in the car!
my wisdom teeth have decided to push through again, its the 4th day now and its driving me mad, im in agony with it, paracetamol helps alittle i guess, but id rather not take them.

hi pobs! i tried out that dreamshow and i think it is quite good, how much did you see it for in wool worths? only in argos its in the sale for £9.99.
scanned quickly through posts seems scarlett is settling bit more? the expressing should def help with getting your milk supply up too! gl with that. and i will try them ice lollies for energy! great idea and there yummy too!

hiya angel, mmm the hot pork bap sounds good!! im starving, just put pizza in oven then gonna have some choc with a cuppa! not been soaking up the sun too much sooo hot isnt it, the feet doesnt like it hehe. hope you get a nice sleep tonight.

pizza is ready be bk on later to finish xx

hi all

sorry dont have much time it seems luis never wants to sleep! i put a few new pics of the 1st day he was born so check them out when you have time.

how many ounces do your babies eat at a feeding? i breast feed on both sides then give him 2-4 ounces and he's sometimes hungry 2 hours later! if i dont breast feed (because its so exhausting and im always feeding him) he eats 3-4 ounces! is that too much? the doctor didnt seem concerned. went to the doctor on friday and he was still under his birth weight he was 7 lb 7 oz but they were happy he at least gained.

ok well luis' brother is visiting us and they are watching the baby so i guess i better go check on them. ttyl!

bk from having my grub! feel better now had my tea (late one)

angel... i clicked on ur link for the msn group is it you that needs to accept me?

hi kate... sorry to hear ur bored and fed up sending you early labour vibes!!! a day or two after i sent sezzy early labour vibes her waters broke so may work for you too hehe

Hi girls!!!!!!!!!!

She'S a girl!! Well done Pobs and KAte!

Carys Bethan was born at 3:24am Sat 26 July at home - whole thing from waters to brith just 8.5 hours and sooooo amazing!. Soooooo sorry I've been so long, it's been mental. Will pop on ASAP and give you all the details. Hope you're all okay I'm so in love!!!! She's screaming for her feed now so better go xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Evening ladies,

No news from Sezzy yet? I hope everything went ok for her and bubs, cant wait to hear from her.

Well im still here fat and frumpy lol... the heat is really getting to me now, i keep going really light headed and the sweat is constantly dripping off me, running after a 2 year old doesnt help much either,
Been having twinges in my lower back and stomach and been loosing quite a bit of *TMI* discharge but i think thats quite normal as bubs head has been snuggling down a bit.

Im off to see midwife tomorrow at 10:30am for a final visit before D-Day, she said she would give me a sweep but im not holding my breath that it will work, it didnt with my other two daughters.
Righty im off for a bath to see if i can cool down somehow.
hope everyone is doing well, babies and bumps too.
take care
Jess

yay sezzy!!! you had a "pink" vibe around you!! congratulations hunnie!!!!
yay!! (again!!)

angel...just seen your message on my thread
Wall-E is definitely worth seeing, my ds didnt even drink his drink!!! not like him at all! and when it was over he did the lip thing...(were his smile goes upside down, and he doesnt cry....but its worse than crying if IYKWIM!!) So, for me his new fad is Wall-E, before that it was Ben 10,before that was Disney Cars. At christmas he got all ben 10 stuff, now he hates all that lol!!! kids!!
I want to see Kung Fu Panda and the monkey one too!! god i love having an excuse to go!! theres a new madagascar coming out too!! Im in heaven lol!!
Glad you and Mason are doing better, hope he settles soon xxxx
