April Mummies 2011

[loopy82]

Don't know if you all remember that my parents stopped talking to me after I told them I was pregnant last year because my oh and I aren't married? Well they've done it again, this time over plans for Christmas because we've decided to stay at home for many reasons, they're being completely unreasonable and i'm so angry and upset

 

[gertrude]

oh loopy that's horrible

Wonder week 26 is SERIOUSLY kicking my ass.
This is her worse stage yet!!
VERY frustrating! Way worse than wonder week 19!
Hope it ends soon (one more week according to my ww app)

 

[JakesMummy]

Oh loopy Why are they acting so mean?

I used to put Jake down awake. I did the same as caro - just stroked between his eyes down to his nose - used to take 45 seconds or there abouts!
Amelia is a complete different ballgame, the cow! I usually nurse to sleep too, and transfer her to her cot - but she suffers from wind so that'll usually wake her. She'll have a good fart then go off again. But I do want to start putting her down awake soon, as she has a tooth cutting through, and I don;t want to feed her then put her down without brushing teeth etc. I have a thing about clean teeth LOL!
Speaking of, Jake has his first dentist trip tomorrow - be interesting to see how he is!

He is also enjoying preschool ALOT more now and is usually first in Also got confirmation that Amelia is highly likely to start on September 2013..seems so silly LOL Shes still a wee baby, bless!

sorry everyone is having issues with sleeping babies. i tend to think something is wrong with her because she's not sitting up on her own (tho she's really trying), rolling from back to front (unless she wants to, maybe this is just a stubborn thing like her mommy), waking up a ton or grumpy for any other reason other then needing something..

 

[Lilly12]

Dana don't worry, it's really early for them to sit up still!
And some babies never roll !

 

[cheese lover]

Loopy So sorry your family is being so unreasonable!

Naima, don't say that! I'm worried about WW26! We're just about to start the gray area. I hope it gets better soon for you!

Jakes, do you use a toothbrush or one of those things that slips on your finger? I'm thinking that would be less disruptive to their drowsy state than sticking a toothbrush in their mouth. My mom was crazy about teeth too and I've only had 4 very small cavities. I plan on being the same with Isis.

Dana, she's fine! I'd rather have a baby that's less mobile. I don't know what we're going to do when Isis can crawl. Our house is very much NOT baby proof and would be very difficult to baby proof.

Isis went down without even a whimper tonight. Here's to hoping that the night continues to go well for me and all of us!

 

[DanaBump]

any of you girls in london go to the fashion week?

 

[MissFox]

Dana Rosie doesn't like rolling. I'm sure Abby will get string up. My friends baby didn't sit up until 7 months. I'm on one hand excited that Rosie is maybe gonna be more mobile and on the other hand dreading it. Need to do some babyproofing.
I've been soooo busy and working working working. Its great though I'm finally catching up in bills. Rosie just woke for the first time tonight.I've also been putting her down awake more. I'm OK win up once a night. 7 hrs straight from her is awesome and she right back asleep. I lay here now waiting to see if she starts fussing. I've been finding I was just getting he too early and leaving her is getting another 2+ hrs usually. Which seems to be the difference in waking once and three times.
Alright I should go back to sleep. Just cause Rosie went to bed at 8:30 doesn't mean I did.

george seems so much better today. we have been for a swimming lesson this morning which was great its gonna be a good day x

 

[babybefore30]

Hi ladies, hope you are all well. I am back to working a couple of shifts now which is good as Daniel is getting used to other people looking after him, but OH and his mum had a bit of bust up yesterday so she is now saying she won't look after Daniel which is crap for me as I now need to think about paying for nursery!!!!

Daniel is now rolling from back to front but then gets really frustrated so I constantly seem to keep turning him back, he is sitting but falls forward so think I will leave it for a while. Pureed up my first carrot today and have frozen and just waiting for my annabel karmel complete meal planner book to arrive and then am going to start weaning.

Hope all is ok with everyone x

 

[Lilly12]

Cheese - wonder week 26 has been way worse than any other so far. Actually way worse than her being a newborn even!
I hope she returns to normal after this, else I don't know how long I'll last
She's sucking all the energy right out of me. My god!
This is so aweful
Hope it isn't as bad for you!

 

[cheese lover]

We had the best night in weeks last night!!! She went down at 7 and woke for the first time at 3!! I couldn't believe it! Then she slept until 6 which is perfect. I'm still putting her down drowsy and keeping the monitor volume low. I still wake up when she's crying but I don't hear all her noises.
I froze the rest of the food I made this weekend. I'm going to look at some green veggies now since all the ones I made this weekend were orange.

 

[gertrude]

oh my god! its the start of the next wonder week! she's been SO not herself! thanks ladies didn't realise it starts now!

 

[lilgemsy]

Nah I dont think Ive had my thyroids checked. Might be worth doing if I keep losing weight :/
Its mad though because no matter how much weight Im losing I still have my hips haha!

Caro - Hope Alex is feeling better soon Poor little man! x

Cheese - Sounds like you have the fall pictures nicely planned out! Bet theyll turn out absolutely beautiful

Bernina - I eat plenty of protein (mainly chicken and tuna) and fatty stuff but still no use. But thanks for the advice Ill just have to eat even more of it all haha.
Also I hope you have a nice holiday! Even though no doubt youll be worrying about little Lizzie 24/7 Its harder than you think being away from them but just enjoy it as much as possible!

Loopy - Big hugs for you. Theyll get over it sooner or later. Try not to let it ruin your christmas and just make your LOs first christmas one to remember!

Dana - Ollie wont roll back to front either. He tries but wont do it all the way haha. Try not to worry about it, they all do it sooner or later!

Lilly - whats wonder week? :S

Ive been putting Ollie down at around 8pm every night now and he sleeps through till half 7 the next morning. Then wakes up for a feed, has a play for half an hour and usually goes back down till about half 11. Im lucky with that aspect that he actually sleeps!
Hes started like... squealing :S I dont know how to explain haha. Its like a scream but a happy scream. Very weird Anyone elses babies doing this?

 

[cheese lover]

Isis loooooves to scream! She has the highest pitch scream! Drives her daddy crazy because he doesn't like loud noises.

We had a bit of a mishap while taking pictures last night. I had her sitting on the driveway and she rolled over. She bonked her head on the concrete. She was done with having pictures taken at that point. I attached a few I took last night. Hopefully we'll have some good weather this weekend and I'll take a few more.

 

[MissFox]

Rosie did that for the fist time last night gem. It was also the first time I got her to laugh hysterically which ledvto the squeeling. I'm so happy this morning. My bff is bringing me a pumpkin spice soy latte. I seriously can't get enough of them. Fob has been really great. And eeep I'm actually enjoying his company again. He has been doing more to help me and if he doesn't get something done he verbalizes that he didn't and knows it needs to happen. Still keeping my distance though.

 

[MissFox]

Those are great!

 

[Tasha360]

Harley screams to Gem, Ruby just makes cute little coo's xx

 

[RiRi]
