August 2011 mummies! Our babies are here!

[Stef]

Hello.

Just popping in whilst I have a minute. Having a tough time at the moment so not been on here much of late as I barely get a minute. Any way....

Isla was born 18th August, estimated about 7lb 8 (they weighed her in blankets and towels so I have no exact birth weight) she was born via elective c-section and is now 3 weeks old and doing great.

Few pics....

About an hour after birth

up to date girls but check to make sure I got it right and let me know if you want me to add anything. Was thinking of adding links to our birth stories too for those who have written them. Good idea?

Thomas today at 1 month and 3 days x

[Mark&Annie]

Oh bless his heart! I was sad to put away the newborn stuff, Louis is in 0-3 and filling them!! 3-6 time I think, he is really long!

 

[moomin_troll]

coreys now in 0-3. hes also in reusables and i bought a teeny fit nappy and hes too much of a chunk for it hahaha.

hes driving me mad by having a very long growth spurt so while hes awake he wants to be fed but then he decided to just puke on me instead but still wants feeding

normaly i can get him in bed by 9 so i can go for a bath without worrying his moaning will wake zane but last night he wasnt having none of it and didnt go to sleep till 10 ish but he did sleep till 4am so wasnt too bad.

hes now having another moan so im going to dunk him in the bath with zane tonight i think, he loves being in water. he hasnt cried once while having a bath i think its down to being a water baby

 

[Kylarsmom]

Kendon can fit in newborn and 0-3. the 0-3 are a hair big. it depends on the outfit. bc some newborn are getting tight and some still fit great. :/ Clothes sizes are confusing

 

[CharlieKeys]

Moomin - Henry loves the bath too! Everytime we all get in he ends up falling asleep and doesn't even flinch when Stephen splashes him! hehe

All your LO's are GORGEOUS! And TJW - look how pretty you are in that photo !

 

[moomin_troll]

well i feel awful
boys were in the bath n i was getting zanes toys, i then dropped one of his rubber fish on coreys tummy it shocked him and splashed water in his face, zane decided to make me feel worse by repeating mummy dropped corey hahah hes such a git

 

[sequeena]

Aw moomin don't worry about it hun I dropped my iPhone on Thomas' head once when I was taking a picture of him

Well we went to the fair tonight and got a free balloon

up to date girls but check to make sure I got it right and let me know if you want me to add anything

I'm still not on the front page

 

[sequeena]

Sorry Sarah I'll add you in the morning. I'm on the iPhone as Thomas will only sleep if I hold him and my selfish oh has gone to sleep though I've been ill and done everything for Thomas the past 2 days.

 

[eandc123]

Night feed time. Well the past few days have not been too good. I've been very teary. I feel like i've hit the wall with the sleep deprevation. I've not had a normal night since i was about 5 months pregnant. It has brought up alot of different things that i am finding difficult. I'm feeling lonely. I've gone from working full time and talking to 30-40 different people a day to talking to oh, lo and my mam. I feel like a milk machine that no one wants to know. I just happen to be attached to lo Because of where i live i struggle to get out by myself, however we are moving in a couple of weeks which will be my saving grace. I love lo one to bits and i don't want anything to change but it's just hit home how much my life has changed.

HI can you add us.
Callum James Wood Packham. 8 pounds 2 ounces 16th august

Thanks!

 

[Mummy~L]

Morning! Had a great night sleep last night Darcy was in her crib at 10pm woke up at 3am for a feed and then she let me put her back into her crib until 7am! After her feed I'm normally left holding her the rest of the night as she doesn't want to go back in her crib!

Today I'm off to see my cousin who had a baby last weekend. She had a little girl too weighing 9lbs so her LO weighs more then my nearly 6 week old!l

EandC hopefully you will feel better once you move and can get out more. I would find it Very hard if I struggled to get out most days.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far

 

[CharlieKeys]

my 4 week old weighs more than your little girl! He was 11lbs at 3 weeks.... and I'm getting weighed tomorrow - I'm guessing he'll be at least 12lbs now lol!

E&C - It's overwhelming isn't it! I know you said you struggle getting out but I really would recommend getting out to baby clubs! There you can BF without feeling awkward as many other mums will be doing the same and you will be socialising with ADULTS!! Have you got a sure start centre near you? They offer lots of different activities such as under-1s, post-natal groups, weigh in clinics (which usually have a coffee morning with it), play and stays etc etc

 

[moomin_troll]

well corey is poorly

last night he couldnt sleep as he was blocked up with a cold, so he was either being sick or trying to feed. hes now having snuggles n im taking him to the docs tomorrow.

its zane fault going to nursey picking up god knows what lol

I got diagnosed with depression this week, due to stress with dsd and her maternal family causing problems. Luckily it's not pnd - which is what I was thinking - but just all centred on recent events and things have been getting worse, even after all the upset last weekend where I actually broke up with oh over it and threw him and dsd out the house. (verbally, not physically). I've ended up going back to work and will not see my children at all on my birthday or for 4 days a week now even though one is a newborn - and all because of this crap causing me to not want to be alone with dsd at all over this which has meant oh has had to leave work so he can be at home when she is... I'm not usually a resentful person, but I've doneso much for her and her maternal family over the past 4yrs and in return I get accused of all sorts of crap that no one bothered to ask if it was true or not and now my kids have to go without their mummy for over half the week every week.... Now dsd has started stealing from us too.... I don't know how much more I can take....

It's causing me to not eat properly either, and messing up with breastfeeding, so now I'm having to switch to formula....

 

[moomin_troll]

wow tjw im not sure what ur step daughts been doing but

are u going to counciling to help with ur depression? if not id suggest u do as it does help x

 

[eandc123]

I do have a few groups i go to but i've always been uncomfortable with strangers so i always find the first few weeks difficult. Just a lack of self confidence really. I feel much better today after talking/crying to my mam and oh.

TJW I'm so sorry you're going through so much. We are like a little support group here so feel free to let off steam. It's like a mini therapy session
