hi Sarah

you are feeling just as i am too! i feel trapped in the house all day - it takes me till 3.40pm just to get dressed and have the house tidy etc mia clothed and fed - cos she feeds so much ad has colic i find i can never put her down!
i bought a sling last week and managed to do loads more yesterday as i put her in it to tidy up etc!
i feel really jealous of a girl at my hubbys work too! she sees him more than me - i am overweight and frumpy - she is tonned and pretty! he is going out with work on thursday for HER leaving do and then again with her and the team a week later for a work team do! im so pissed off cos all i do is sit at home allday! it should be spending the evenings with my hubby not her! i did speak to him about it and he didnt realise how i felt so has been really sweet trying to make me feel better but its so hard to get out of my head the fact that he sees more of her! silly isnt it!

We are going to a weddin next saturday and my little mia is being looked after by my cousin - who she knows well as my cousin lives down the road and visits alot! However we are only going to the day reception and leaving when the evening do starts as i cant leave my little pookie all day long - it will kill me! dont think hubby is to pleased about leaving early but it cant be helped as wedding is miles away and im driving - and dont know how to get home without him with me!

Went out and bought a beautiful dress for the wedding today - it was nice to shop for me for a change! although i did end up spending a fortune in monsoon on mia!

anyway gotta go - drink my tea!!

Hi girls!!

well have been feeling really well the last few days considering. Fay has been sleeping really well in fact the last two days she has slept from midnight right through to 6am. It has given both scott and i a chance to catch up on some much needed rest. midwife came round today and she now weighs 8lb 8oz so she has lost some of her birth weight, which they were not worried about and neither am i. Also her umbilical cord came off yesterday which is a relief as i couldnt stand it what with the smell etc. Generally she is fit and well, so if they are happy so am i.
I too feel a little down in the mouth at the moment, i know what mine is, it is the fact that i am confined to the house and not able to go out ie drive anywhere and unfortunately for me, it will only get worse as i cant drive for six weeks. Its all right getting loads of visitors but what i crave is to get out!!!!!

anyway, thats all from me for now. its good news about Leah, cant wait for her to start posting on here

luv to all

hi all,

how is fay and lox? poor mia has got a small rash on her face - milk spots rash has lox or fay got this at all?

Mia is doing well, she is settling into more of a rountine which is better for me as i am actually managing to get dressed b4 3pm now!

she is so strong too - she can hold her up for a bit and nearly rolled over tonight! little beast!

her colic is not as bad - down to the infacol i feel!

she smiles loads which is so sweet!

her evening routine is better, she actually sleeps next to me now rather than in my arms at night and she only wakes a coupl eof times through the night!

hows fay and lox?

Luv

Chelley xx

Hi all

Just a quickie...

Lox does have a rash on his face but it has got a lot worse! Saw HV yesterday and she said it looked infected so we're off to the dr's today. Have to take Hermione anyway....she has started with what I think is Ecsema!!
Had a long chat with her and she thinks I might be starting with a touch of PND! Anyway she's going to let the dr know so we can discuss it at the 6 week check....I think I am just stressed with the moving etc!!

Locksley now weighs 11lb 15oz's!!He has put on 3lb 3oz's in 4.5 weeks! No wonder my boobs make Kinga's look like raisins!! LOL!

Hope you are all doing well. Can't believe just two more babies to arrive! It would be nice to all meet one day, but where does everyone live? I live near Scarborough at the moment.

Love and hugs to all, Sarah xxx

Ps Chelley don't worry about that woman...your man loves you and Mia far too much to let her come between you.
I also know it's hard feeling trapped all day...but dare I say it???...Christmas will be here soon so that'll give us all something to do....can't wait for Christmas as a family. Take care xxx

hello all

max has only lost 150g since birth which apparently is really good considering im breastfeeding, he had his heel prick test yesterday aswell she bruised him evil moo!
i am so besotted with max thoygh i really am me and bailie ae getting on so much better now aswell i did worry about loving the pair of them may sound silly but i did worry that ii couldnt love two as much but i do im in love with the pair of them its so weird how you can feel so strongly about someone after such a short period of time.

i seem to have turned into super woman im sure its not going to last i manage on 4 hours sleep my house has neer been so tidy evr im so organised and patient aswell im breastfeeding alone now as my milk has come in with abundance now feeeling a bit jordanesque apart from they hurt like hell! im sure im going to crash and burn soon mind you.

well im off to do dinner wil post again soon
glad you all liked the pictures have some more to send you will try and get that done tonight!

hi all,

thanks for putting my mind at rest sarah - tonight is the night that he is out and im sat here like a right desperate woman!

i had Mia weighed today and the litle porker is 12lb. she is exactly 4 weeks old now! cant believe how quick it goes!

Poor lox with his rash - i think mias looks worse again todqy - HV said it was hormones that do it? and tht it would go soon.

poor u sarah with pnd - i must admit i think it hits us all at some level - you r lucky in a sense that you have had it b4 and recognise it - i think i am borderline - im not normally completely nuts about my hubbys evening dos with work! hope you feel better soon.

So Sue - how is it being a mummy at last? how is Fay doing?

Leah hows little max? has he had his outift on yet with his name on? i bet he looks a cutey!

another quickie re baby clothes - i have started selling bundles of baby clothes now on my ebay shop - got lots of goodies that work out around �3 per item. have a butchers and let me know what you think y'all. thanks heaps,

hello

well max ha sjust had a feed and all is quiet so i thought id pop on here, he seems to be settling into feeding around every 4 hours but he has both boobs in one go so im feeding him for nearly a soild hour at a time my boobs are getting so sore but im desperately trying to keep going luckily i am managing to express quite alot so its giving me a break!
max looks great in his out fits bless him and everyone thinks its really cute that he has clothes with his name on.
he has sticky eyes has anyone else had this i am constantly having to clean his eyes up the midwife said not to worry but bailie never had that and he is getting a rash on his face aswell because of it i think.
its been so nice having andy around this week i only hve him for another week though so i think reality is going to setin when he goes back and its just me with two kids thats going to be hard, my mum suffered terribly with pnd and i have had problems with depression in the past luckily i was ok with bailie and im worried that i may get it but hopefully i can stay in this frame of mind that im in at the moment.
well im off to bed as im gonna be up again about 5 more than likely
hope your all keeping well and all your gorgeous babies are doing ok.x
speak to you all soon

Hi all

Sorry I have been a bit quiet but I am not feeling too well at the moment. My blood loss has been red all the time so they did a swab a couple of weeks ago which showed I had group B strep...so I had some anti-biotics. These seemed to help with the pain, but I was still bleeding red...but today it started really heavy again and with clots! So I phoned dr who wants to try another course of a different anti-biotic for 5 days. If this doesn't work I have to go for a D and C! Has anyone ever had one of these? If so what does it entail? Does it hurt?
Glad to hear everyone is enjoying their little bundles. I know I am. Poor little ****** though....took him to the dr's yesterday and his spots are a form of eczema. I have to try and keep his face dry...but it is hard as he sweats so much when breast feeding...and leaks milk everywhere.
Poor Hermione too now has eczema...have some stuff to wash her with, some stuff for her bath and some cream to rub in! Hopefully the cream will take the itching away!

How are all you mummies feeling? Take care all, Love Sarah xxx
