J is really not well. I've been up every hour since 11pm with him howling crying. I'm knackered but I hate seeing him sick
He sounds awful and feels hot and is just so miserable. I hate seeing him sick. I'm going to spend the day in bed with him and fingers crossed he's a bit better by the end of the day0 -

Aw the poor little guy! Hope he is feeling better soon0 -

Feeling horrifically shíte in myself. Finally got a chance to go dress shopping for something for my daughters Christening this Saturday, I got it in a medium because I used be a small and I know I am not back to normal yet. Well it's too small I feel so frumpy, and I more than likely will not get a chance to exchange it tomorrow before we head to Clare.
And I am worried about the weekend. Already the MIL has started her BS!0 -

Don't envy you on the MIL front. Big deep breaths all weekend! And I hear you on the weight thing. I feel like an absolute heffalump, I've actually put on weight since I had him. Feeling like sh1te doesn't motivate you to want to do something about it either! I have zero time to exercise, by the time he gets home from work, I'm cranky, knackered and the last thing I want to do is go out for a jog in the dark. So I eat Brie instead I've been taking difene at night for my back which you have to take on a full stomach, another excuse to eat! I'm a disaster. 0 -

I don't even have the work excuse, but I am eating so many cakes recently, and because the baby is sometimes awake at dinner, I stuff meat and cheese in a roll rather than eat a healthy meal. All I get from the OH is "get and do some exercise" but some days even sorting the house is beyond me. I just feel crap.
As for the weekend, I spent 30 minutes on the phone this week going through how to prepare my best friend (and daughter's godmother) for meeting the MIL and the malicious things she is guaranteed to say. I am fit to murder her and we aren't even there yet 0 -

Have you guys starting weaning yet . First few months I eat awful stuff and takeaways but once the weaning starts I buy big boxes of fruit and veg from my local fruit and veg shop and when I'm making babies food I save some for myself in soups and things in the freezer. I've also started buying turkey mince instead of mince beef . It's pretty expensive but much better for you!0 -

Could you cut that wago off??? Otherwise deep breaths and try not to punch her!
Anyways with regards weight, I found my biggest issue was not eating lunch, so I make something healthy in the morning while baby is sleeping and eat it when feeding babba. Diet will be the most important thing.
Also I wore a fitted maternity dress to the christening, which worked....in forward-facing photos!0 -

Just remember if you're breast feeding its totally ok to be eating extra calories. Coz you can burn between 600-1000 calories a day! And that's why you're appetite can be bigger then when you were preggers. When I stopped breast feeding I totally lost my appetite and the weight literally fell off me! Happened to a few people I know when they stopped breast feeding aswell.
It's going to be my only saving grace this time as I've put on south weight with this pregnancy.... I'm praying the same thing happens this time around...0 -

I have never used them but I heard the belly bandits are really good. https://bellybandit.com/collections/belly-bandit/the-original.html You will find them second hand on lots of baby sites and forums. There is a Facebook page called not just for twins and it's for buying,selling and swapping baby things. It's great!
As for the in laws, it is inevitable that there will be friction because family politics are so different from one family to the next. I try to understand where DH family are coming from but to be honest the only thing that works for me is distance. I know it's not the right thing to do but I feel better for it.0 -
I put weight on when I stopped breastfeeding because I was used to eating more. I was just really careful for a couple of weeks and it came off then but I have to watch my snacking now.
J was up so much last night. I 'm working on about 3 hours sleep again. I hate feeling like this 0 -

You poor thing! I remember those days. Id sit watching true movies all day with the house falling down around my ears lol disaster!
I'm up since 6 and have been fighting with my son since. I don't know how many time outs have been handed out at this stage but he just thinks it's funny. His behaviour is atrocious and I'm desperate to get a grip on it before he starts play school! I think I'm going to have a break down!0 -

Really... Gosh my appetite dwindled to nothing! Could also be due to me being a stress head. Lol0 -

Raisins, sweetcorn and spinach do the job here when NOTHING else would. Also plenty of water. Tried prunes/pears/sugar water everything! Also not too much fibre: Weetabix for eg would bung my little girl up really badly. The thing with constipation is different things work for different people. Like bananas don't affect her at all. Well once they are properly ripe
she's 17 months now and it's only now we have a handle on it. 0 -

Yes it seems to be the way! she is still only 7 months so we haven't introduced an awful lot at this stage but I have cut out her baby porridge today and just gave her puréed fruit and then veg with a pear in it for lunch and pear water that I made myself. No major difference yet. Everything that worked on my son is failing. Not even lots of water. We will just have to keep trying things.0 -
