August 2011 mummies! Our babies are here!

[sequeena]

Jodie we do the same with Thomas! We always show him what food we're eating and 'offer' it to him. We only let him smell it and he has no interest but it's a good way to interact with him I think.

My hair falls out like mad too, Thomas seems to always have a strand trapped in his hand!

Stef how much does Isla weigh now? And congrats on the interview I hope you get through

DarlingMe that's a great idea but my birthing ball was only loaned to me boooo! However I don't think the lack of tummy time has done any harm for Thomas! He was laying on OH's chest earlier and lifted his head right up! I tried to get a picture but he wouldn't do it again

Thomas has been very clingy today and his poor hand was hurting him last night We've had to redo the tape on his ear too as it came off!

[moomin_troll]

brave boy, hope he keeps doing well

 

[eandc123]

Bless him. He seems to be taking it in his stride Very brave x

 

[Jodie.82]

good luck stef with your interview thats an amazing thing to be going for

aw sequeena bless thomas in his pics! I love doing the food smelling with cleo, she is definitely interested! people keep wanting/telling me to give her rice or puree but I want to do BLW so im waiting. we are going to MIL in january cleo will be 5 months and I think she is goingto want to feed her and not get the whole BLW business!!

we found somewhere that sells fisher price toys yesterday we got her a rainforest musical baby gym which worked out 45 pounds here, its so expensive as its imported but we dont have much choice! she absolutely loves it so its worth it

 

[sequeena]

Girls how are we? None of us have updated for a while.

Thomas' hand is infected. He's on antibiotics but I'm taking him back to my doctor tomorrow as the swelling has increased. Why they even bothered taking the thumb off I don't know as the swelling is the same size!

 

[DarlingMe]

Aw! Poor thomas! will he let you ice it? Of heat? Either one will help. Poor guy, I am sure it is very painful for him. Feel better Lil man!

 

[sequeena]

Darling he's on antibiotics and he just about lets me put those in his mouth

[bananabump]

Aww bless him that looks so painful! Hope it starts to heal quickly soon! Why did he need surgery on his hear hun if you don't mind me asking? It's just Leo's ears haven't formed properly I don't think, so was wondering if Thomas had the same sort of thing! xxx

 

[sequeena]

His right ear sticks out more than it should and the top part didn't form properly. It should have been more curled over. It's hard to explain but it's not a major thing x

Thomas is 4 months old today

[Stef]

hey all! Poor little Thomas. Hope the anti B's clear up his hand quickly.

Dont have much time for BNB lately whilst prepping for my uni interview which is next week. GULP!!

Little Isla is doing great though. Thankfully the reflux seems better lately, some days are awful but they are now the minority instead of majority. She started giggling last week too. Like proper belly giggles. Love it.

She is however starting to cut a tooth which is making her a little stroppy at times, and runny poos, eugh!

[DarlingMe]

Stef I love the giggles! I have gotten R going a couple times too. I keep wondering if LO is teething too. Can u see anything popping up? I can almost feel a bump... I think--

This poor kid is just getting by on 20 minute power naps all day and is so crabby because of it. Sleeps fine at nighy. I hope he starts sleeping again soon!

 

[Jodie.82]

aw bless Thomas, how is his hand doing now Sequeena?
wow stef thats come round quickly good luck! how long will it take for you to find out if you got it after the interview?
Isla is looking so cute

Cleo is doing so good, she's really come on this past couple of weeks shes into everything! shes getting such a personality too but we are definitely going through wonder week 19 already. she is very frustrated all the time its like she wants to crawl or get around and gets so grumpy when she cant. shes also noticed OH's tattoes and keeps grabbing at him which is cute

and we booked to go to England next year just me and cleo im so excited

 

[sequeena]

Thomas has hit WW19 too screaming screaming and more screaming!!!

His hand burst the other day and looks loads better now thanks

Sorry I've not been round much ladies, having a tough time with my PND at the minute.

 

[moomin_troll]

i dont believe in these wonder weeks, we all even as adults have bad hours, days and weeks so it only makes sence that babies do to.

coreys going threw a weird phase of being tired but cant sleep...mainly to do with his loud mouth brother lol and also hes hungry but wont feed so ive been wanting to pull my hair out.

zanes been clingy past week which i wont go into on here or ile be typing for ages but hes taking more of a interest in corey. i cant wait till coreys bigger and can play with zane

 

[DarlingMe]

Moomin troll I laughed when you said about the WW because I am skeptical too but they have been dead on. OUr LOs are the same age, by due date my LO is at ww19, and not sleeping despite being tired. I posted a couple back about the sleeping thing! And we have no other children. Hopefully whatever it is will pass quick!

 

[Jodie.82]

you made me laugh too and you are probably right! but they do seem to be matching, although I wonder if expecting it makes it happen!!

Cleo is being same as corey, I know shes hungry but wont feed, gets in a right pickle for about half an hour then guzzles it down! OH says im trying to overfeed her!!

 

[moomin_troll]

its just i never noticed these wonder weeks with zane and coreys so different to zane and doing things at different times. i just really think its all down to the baby and how they are feeling.

well corey didnt feel like sleeping all day yesterday and all night! he just couldnt nap during the day and then last night it was constant screaming all night...plus zane got up afew times but i can just tell him to go sleep lol
he finaly went to sleep around 5am is with afew crys and i had to get up at 8 to get zane ready for nursery. im bloody knackered, i said to my mum this morning when she got zane that im suprised i didnt throw corey out of the window...not that im in the habbit of hurting children hahaha but god its so frustrating. plus it didnt help that i was having a bad day in myself yesterday

hes finaly napping now, zanes home in 3 hours so i havent had much time to do anything other then try to get corey to sleep today.

sounds like corey is having his ww 19 lol
aw hun sounds like a nightmare hope you are ok
and re the window OH has commented before that babies must be made do cute or else thats what you'd do!!

its freezing here today so ive wrapped cleo in 2 blankets now while she naps in her chair and shes been there for nearly and hour and a half! she usually naps 20 mins here or there. 2 blankets is the way forward!!

 

[moomin_troll]

hahaha maybe it is wonder week lol altho coreys only 18 weeks......oh well i guess we will never no

yeah the warmer the baby the longer they sleep. ive just managed to fit coreys cot in my room, we were co sleeping but he doesnt want to cuddle me so its time he has his own space.

your OHs right jodie, if he wasnt so cute hed of been out of the window last night hahah
being serious tho sometimes u can really understand how some people are pushed so far that babies do get shaken personaly id never let myself get that over whelmed but other people dont realise just walk away before its too late
