[Nessicle]

Glad she's doing well Jo!

Seriously you ask anyone of different sizes what their baby weighed - everyone I know who is petite had a large baby and everyone I know who is a larger lady had a very small one obviously there's always an exception to the rule

My mum is tiny and I weighed 8lb 6oz, Marks mum is even tinier and he weighed more than me, my friend Laura is quite large and both her babies were around the 5lb mark. Also quite tall women have smaller babies - my mum's friend Clare is 5ft 10" and her son was 6lb even though she was huge when pregnant.

I was pissed off after having Ava though cos the midwife could see clearly how huge I was though because my fundal height was measuring a week behind they didnt do anything. She said 7lb baby.....err try 9lb!

Fundal height is ridiculous to go by cos its different depending on how the baby lays.

Abby is gorgeous though Jo bet you're so proud! Cant wait to see more piccies!!

Shan and Brandy hope you feel better really soon I dont envy the morning sickness!

Di xxx

Rach think we're going to ttc next September after a year back at work and Ava will be nearly 3 by the time the next one is born!

All good here, think we're going through the 4 month sleep regression though ugh! Had to take her off ranitidine for a bit cos she's crying constantly with constipation poor baby!

xx

 

[Nixilix]

Have you tried baby massage for constipation? Just rub her belly clockwise (has to be clockwise). Check out you tube for videos but it really works... Most babies pop during the class!!

 

[Nessicle]

ha ha Rach bless em! Yeah we did a lot of baby massage during the 'colic' period (ie silent reflux lol!) it helped shift the wind loads, as wind comes hand in hand with silent reflux due to all the crying, keep massaging her tummy, giving lactulose, cooled boiled water and she hasnt poo'd properly in ages poor baby!

 

[PeaceLoveBaby]

Feeling much better!!

I'd like to runaway too though lol.

 

[molly85]

god abby was all bunged up last night all i could do was cycle her legs which she hated. bloody cord needs to come off asap. we are having to use a powder to dry it out. miniture baby=extra layer=no air to cord grrrrrr. she now in just a baby grow and cardy so air can circulate.

 

[dreamqueen]

hey ladies sorry for being so crap. still trying to get internet fixed. def not preggars again. AF arrived in full force yesterday and is really sore who knows whats been going on lol how is everyone?

Camerons appointment was a mixture of good and bad. He is now 13lbs6 and we have finally been refered to a dietician. i have been asking for ages for help but no1 has listened. The consultant is concerned about his muscle tone. wen he was born he was stiff as a board and we got told he was gonna be physically disabled. he has loosened up since then but the consultant says his tone is still really tonic and we are back in 2 months. its normally once every 6 months we are ment to see him. we are also getting refered to York Hill Childrens Hosp about his stopping breathing thing so am glad its getting looked into now

xxxxx

 

[mommaof3]

seems like every momma I know there little ones have been cranky and not sleeping. Mason has been terrible the past 3 days I think its teeth or the change in his milk and then he goes tomorrow for his jabs by the time this week is over ill be more then ready to get on a plane and fly just about anywhere lol


Aww poor Abby hope she feels better and the cord should still dry fine with her bundled up no one could have put more clothes on a baby then I did Mason lol


Shan when im half way sane again I need to talk to you about Etsy seems my baby headbands caused a frenzy at the baby shower Ashley came home with 10 orders so now she wants to try and put then on facebook and Etsy Im not sure where I'm gonna find the time but I told her I would give it a try since she was so excited over it.

Im really tired and just rambling on not sure if anything Ive said makes sence I seen every hour on the clock last night little man was fussy and just would not settle no matter what I did and unless Ricky wants to drag his butt to the store were having toast for dinner

 

[mommaof3]

Aww poor Cam hope you get some answers soon Kirstie Im glad that they have finally refered you to the right places and he is picking up some weight and crawling so that has to be a good thing

 

[Nixilix]

Kirsty - I say the same as what Nicole said!!!

What headbands Nicole?

I've just been for a swim, got a run tomorrow. Then its ceramic workshop on wednesday to get some prints of Phoebe hands and feet! Then baby weigh in Thursday!

I'm going in to work for 2 days next week. We get "KIT" days (keeping in touch) where you can go in and get paid to catch up without losing maternity pay. Mum is having Phoebe and the money can go to the wedding fund

Hope you girls are well. My AF was late this month too but i think its still settling down since birth. Had 1st one nearly 7 weeks PP and then waiting 32 days for this next one. My cycles were 26/28 days so its a bit longer. It may stay that way, have to wait and see.

 

[Nixilix]

Oh, here is a pic of phoebe on her bumbo (bit too little yet haha) and one with mummy

 

[molly85]
