June 2012 Babies

I was just saying to DH that at the max we will have a bub here in 3 weeks that's 10days til due date plus overdue days. It's scary but really exciting, talking about it makes me feel all teary.

You'll all be fine with two, honestly the jump from one to two is nowhere near the shock to the system that none to one is. I'm hoping the same can be said for going from three to four. Was supposed to have a midwife appointment but she's got a lady in labour (for the second Tuesday in a row) so is coming to see me at home on Thursday instead, I'd best have a tidy up...

Im freaking out about having two aswell. Im worried because I feel DS has gotten so much more energetic and excitable lately but could just be me being more tired and grumpy

I'd agree (so far, with my limited 1 week of having Niamh at home! LOL) that the move from 1 child to 2 children is much easier than the shift from none to 1. That was a total "what the heck is going on" thing for me (going from none to 1). This time, it's coming back, I'm more relaxed about baby stuff, etc. Still knackering and very tired, which is hard when you've got a 3 year old who doesn't nap in the daytime, and needs to be kept amused.

It is a bit of a juggling act, as at the moment it feels like I'm constantly feeding, topping up, or pumping for Niamh, so DD1 is missing out, but she gets a good 1.5-2 hours usually between the start of one feed to the start of the next.

There have been moments of a disgruntled 3 year old, for having to wait and not having my attention 24/7, but she keeps saying she loves Niamh, and is trying to help with things as much as possible, so I think she'll adjust.

The most "nerve wracking" thing I've done so far, was my first trip out in the car (first drive post c-sect) with both of them on my own yesterday to go to the hospital to get Niamh's tongue tie snipped. Wasn't as hectic as the first trip out on my own with DD1 though, that felt like it took military precision to organise and make sure I had everything I thought I may need LOL This time it was "got nappy bag, got baby buckled in capsule, got older child and her bag?, that's it!"

MrsLissy, hope it's not pre-e and you end up induced!!

Morning all

Hope everyone is well

Mrslissy - hope u get to go home soon and its not pre e.

Sar - yay for almost finished work and soon having more time with DS, he will love it. Hopefully your flatmate gets a move on soon.
am excited about wanting to meet baby, but DD not sleeping the best and im scared of how tired i will b having two kids awake at silly hours, dh only responds to her when he is getting up in the morning. DH is driving me nuts in a few ways lately.

Hope the blood pressure comes down and it's not pre-e misslissy. It is nice to have some pre-baby time once you've finished work, make the most of just being able to nip to the shops or go to the loo without an audience.
Feeling the need to nest right now, although, obviously not so much that I'm not on here lol.
Two weeks today to due date! Can't believe how fast it's come round.

3 to 4 is a piece of cake Capelbach, at least it was for me. Lil miss just had to fit in with the rest of us

Wow - yours mustn't have been too bad! I went into hospital on Thurs with high BP and they only just let me out on Tues! SO freakin frustrating. Am off to the MW soon to get it checked, hoping that the meds and change in diet will do the trick. Lots of potassium (seven to nine servings of fruit and veg a day), low-fat dairy and wholegrains, and of course cutting right back on sodium is beneficial for combatting high blood-pressure.

hey tiger.roo great to read what happened for you and cooper. glad all is going ok and DS1 adores his wee brother. Love the photo on FB he is so cute i just wanna have snuggles.

just been to farmers thinking i would by some stuff for bubs but only came out with 1 thing for new bubs and 4 things for DD lol.

i have instructed bubbs to stay put for the next 3 days as midwife heads away for the weekend tomorro, i hope he listens and as of monday i will b sending him a eviction notice lol.

Snap kelz, my midwife is not on call all weekend, so I'm sure that things are going to happen. Just going to take it easy and keep my legs crossed I think!
