Hi Toni, I know what you mean about time going so fast - I wonder where the days go. Poppy is well thank you and she’s had the harness off now which is amazing! I’m also getting used to the lack of sleep. Poppy is doing well but she’s started being a bit fussy about taking a bottle now and I don’t k...

Hi Ladies, How are you all doing? I hope you had a lovely Easter. I am tired! Little miss is quite unsettled at the moment - she’s feeding every half an hour / hourly in the day so not taking full feeds and is really fighting sleep. Sometimes she has two 10 minutes naps in the day. I actually don’t ...

Hi Butterfly1, She seems to be going longer periods now which is good and I’m getting up around 1 and 4 to feed her and settle her. She’s started to notice things around her which is lovely - as we walk room to room she’s taking it all in. We are back at the hospital tomorrow to see if the brace is ...

Hi Toni, Happy Belated Mother’s Day! I saw your recent pictures of Arielle - she has grown so much. Sorry you didn’t get spoilt for Mother’s Day - you certainly deserved to be and glad you had some time out. We’ve had the hip brace on a week now for Poppy so 5 more to go - I feel so sorry for her as...

Hi Ladies, We have to go back to the hip clinic in a few weeks as Poppy needs a brace for 6 weeks to realign her hip (I’m really not looking forward to that). She’s sleeping for around 3-4 hours sometimes in the day but I’m waking her every 2-3 in the hope she will eventually go longer at night. Ton...

Thanks ladies. It’s been a crazy 10 days. I can’t belong how much I’m learning about her but also myself. I’ve been breastfeeding and really found the first week so difficult as I was so sleep deprived but I’ve been able to start expressing a bottle so that my husband can give her a feed in the even...

Hi Ladies, Just to let you know Poppy Rae arrived on Thursday 1st February at 14:30pm. Very traumatic c-section as her heart rate dropped and they had to deliver her really quickly and my husband came into the room and didn’t know what was happening. They got her out in 3 minutes and she was taken t...

Hi Toni, Is Arielle any better now? Must be horrible seeing them poorly. I’m feeling quite well actually. Had a scan last week and they estimated 7lb 11oz so think she could be a good size on Thursday when she’s here - if theses scans are accurate. I have the hospital this afternoon for my pre opera...

Hi Ladies, It’s been an eventful week. We had our scan last Wednesday and found out the baby was breech (after the midwife saying she’s been head down). We saw a consultant afterwards and they offered us 3 options so a breech birth (we declined as the risk for something going wrong is really high) a...

Hi Toni, My baby shower was lovely - you have probably seen all my pictures now. It feels like I’m on maternity now too as before it was Christmas and it felt like my normal holiday but it’s all coming around so quickly. I ordered a pushchair two weeks ago which is now out of stock - I’m really hopi...

Hi Ladies, Sorry for the delayed response - you would think now I have finished work I would have more time to respond but it seems I have less. Happy Birthday Toni by the way. My hospital appointment last week went much better than expected - I thought they were going to suggest I take medication b...

Thanks Toni, I’m feeling a little better about things this week - I think I’m coming to terms with it and accepting that if I need medication it’s for the good of my baby so I will see what they say at my follow up appointment on Wednesday. I’ve managed to bring the levels down but sadly not enough....

Hi Ladies, Sorry I’ve not been on for a few days - just having a bit of a stressful time at the moment. I had my appointment at the hospital last week following my positive gestational diabetes test and have been given a blood monitoring kit for two weeks to see what my levels are doing and if I can...

Hi Ladies, Sorry I haven’t been on for a while - my cold really hit me last week and I had a few days of work because I felt so wiped out. Feeling better now. Unfortunately, my glucose test came back positive so I have a hospital appointment on Thursday to discuss my options and the next steps. Than...

Hi Ladies, It’s been a crazy week. We were in hospital Sunday for reduced movements (luckily all is well) she’s just lazy I think and depending on the position I can’t always feel her. They were picking movements up on the monitor but I couldn’t feel them. They were good though and said to go whenev...

Hi Ladies. I hope you all had a good weekend. My husband was away but it was quite nice to have the bed to myself and not have to listen to him snoring. Although I’m so restless trying to sleep at the moment that I’m sure it was nice for him being away from me. I am starting to find day to day thing...

Hi Tiffany, How were your days off, do you feel rested? Any news on the other job? I’m feeling hopeful for you this cycle - will you do any tracking to see when you are ovulating? I suppose if you do though that’s when you start to stress. I’ve had a stressful few days at work. The new replacement h...

Hi Ladies, Just catching up as I’ve been in Edinburgh all weekend for my sisters hen do. It was really good and I was pleased as I managed to stay up to 11 the first night and then 11:30 the second night. I’m normally in bed at 9. It’s hard work when you aren’t drinking and everyone else is, luckily...

Hi Ladies, Hope you are all ok? Toni - Arielle’s Birthday looks fab - I bet she has a great day. Thanks for the advice on those things. I’m going to add them to my wish list as we are ordering bits each month until Christmas - I can’t believe how much there is to buy. Tiffany- when is your AF due? I...
