I think we are going to put our little Sith Lord in his crib in a few weeks. We have him sleeping in a pack and play by our bed now we put him in it last night one way and when he woke me up demand to be be fed at 3 am he had shifted and was laying with his head on a different side (basically he made a perfect 90 degree turn). With that much movement I think it may be crib time.

Twinkletots! So pleased you decided to post again. I have thought about you often and hoped all was going ok. Those pictures are gorgeous especially the one of Amber with her big sister- so loving and protective. I will keep thinking of you and hoping that everything goes as smoothly as possible. Please stay with us on this thread. It's so good to hear your updates. As the others have said - we are all here for you

Baby hopes- lovely bump! Scottish is right - enjoy it before baby comes. I miss my bump!

That's a great link, Celtic. I'm going to have a look too. I have a buggy board for the bugaboo but I hate it- the bugaboo is such a dream to push but not with a toddler on too I think I'm going to need a sling so I can push Caelan in his Zia.

Bella - hope you're not waiting for baby Chase too much longer!

Due tomorrow 17th August lol it's come round so quickly but she is showing no signs of appearing lol x

 

[Barhanita]

Lena like to sigh when she is asleep. She makes funny noises waking up.

Mac, I LOVE your userpic.

Babyhopes, beautiful bump. I was uploading my pregnancy photoshoot on FB yesterday and realized how I miss the belly.

Sorry bella! It annoying even for, and I had her at 37 weeks. Cannot imagine how horrible at get further on

Forgot my AFM

ALl ok. Amelie is still being fab. Had the health visitor here yesterday. She now weighs 8lb! (She was born 7lb 4oz 13 days previously) so I'm really chuffed with that. HV also said that Amelie is 'amazingly alert and mobile' for her age. When the HV was checking her over she was lifting her head up and was rolling from side to side on her back. Oh oh!
We go through loads of nappies because she poops sooooo much!
Her cord is still attached and looks a little icky. HV said it was ok yesterday but I'm nervous about it.

I'm also getting lots of twinges in my scar area and one side is sore with a stitch seemingly sticking out a bit. Trip to the docs early next week maybe?

 

[Sooz]

Angel we have the same, Paige couldn't roll until she was several months old and yet Mason could roll and lift his head from birth. He often pulls up to stare at us during cuddles.

We have the sleepy noises too. He whimpers like a little puppy when he dreams. It's cute but it certainly doesn't help me sleep.

We saw the MW today and he's gained 7oz in 4 days and is past his birth weight now. We see them Tuesday and then get discharged to the HV.

Ladies who have other toddlers how are they taking it? Mason has been a dream but Paige is really acting up today. It's been really stressful.

 

[Barhanita]

We took some pictures outside today: HERE. Which one should be my avatar?

 

[Barhanita]

My weight is going down so rapidly.. I am again in "underweight" BMI category. And now I eat A LOT!

 

[bella21]

aww im so glad everyones little ones are doing so well ... i love hearing everybody talk about them!!

bar- such cute pics!! i like the ones of you staring at lena, they seem so motherly and loving if that makes sense


TMI but was in the bathroom for like 25 minutes today! now i have a nice little hemorrhoid

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Bar those pictures are lovely! Lena is adorable and you are very pretty

Isabela also makes the cutest noises when sleeping. She makes a squealing sound too and me and DH say she's a little bird because it's like a beep.

She's been very needy today and wont nap She want to be held and i haven't been able to do much, i'm really tired

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Mac that is so cute haha! Love your pic also!

Angel I get those same twinges in my stitch area too, they really hurt sometimes!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a noisy baby! I'm sure I would sleep better if she was in the other room but I just get too worried about her being alone still so I'm going to wait till she's a little older

 

[JenzyKY]

Sooz, I don't have a toddler but I have a friend on facebook that has a 2 month old and a 2 year old. Her 2 year old is having a hard time and acts up a lot. Just yesterday he threw something at the baby and just barely missed him! Eek!

Henry isn't up in his room but is in the pack n play in the living room right outside our room. It is just far enough away that I don't hear every single noise but close enough I don't have to worry.

I still don't feel recovered from my delivery. I get pain with activity. Is that normal?

 

[Barhanita]

Jenzy, my doctor said it might take up to 6 weeks. Are you still bleeding? What kind of pain?

We tried being intimate, and it hurt.. I guess it's a bit too soon.

 

[JenzyKY]

I bleed little amounts. Just enough to be annoying. I find the stupid pads to be irritating. Can't wait to not have to use them anymore. The pain almost seems to be like nerve pain and where I had a few stitches hurts if I lift something like his car seat. I guess I just want to feel normal again. My body doesn't look too far off pre-pregnancy as I'm only up 7 lb now but I don't feel like I did beforehand. I took a long walk today with Henry and now I hurt.

 

[Barhanita]

I am sorry... Sounds horrible. I have some discomfort when walking, but not enough to actually call it "pain". I certainly don't feel like I did before having her yet. But just 4 weeks ago I pushed 7+ lb baby out, so I don't expect to be back to normal right away. But I do miss it. I really want to start running, but I am not sure if I can without my milk supply dropping. When is it safe to start? After 6 weeks?

 

[JenzyKY]

It is less every day so hopefully by the time I'm a month out like you I'll feel better. It is all a new experience so maybe I just have unrealistic expectations and I'm going a bit stir crazy at home by myself all day.

I think the running is at 6 weeks. I don't know about milk supply though. I've never been a big exerciser...

 

[Barhanita]

I has expectations of being more active - going places with her, enjoying active time. But we just stay home working on breastfeeding. Once she finally learns how to BF, I hope to be more mobile. Because I actually love driving with her, walking with her. I feel somewhat confined staying home all the time. That's why I think running could be great for me - getting out of the house all by myself, enjoying the weather. And working on my body as a bonus.

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Bar and Jenzy I'm going stir crazy too! I feel like I live in my bedroom breastfeeding and changing diapers all day! Haha I can't wait to go start doing stuff and being able to take her

 

[mac1979]

Those are partially the reasons I am about to give up on breastfeeding (or at least all the expressing). DH told me was getting concerned about PPD. I wasn't myself, not caring about my appearance (I was going days between showering) not wanting to leave the house and crying all the time. I have had to make the choice to do mostly formula for my mental health. Also, he is a hungry little guy, 4 oz of formula every 3-4 hours and 5 oz before bed at night the most he will sleep after his big bottle is 6 hours and that has only happened twice. Could you imagine how much breast milk that would be to keep up considering how much faster it is digested. I would go nuts.

4 days of pads and my vag is burned off me from them so I had to use cloth ones from Alex nappies. I just cant do disposables. So I am now treating a burn down below My son was the same with disposable nappies. Many years of hell going through burns that I assumed where from hormones or something. Chemicals are not good in them pads.

Myles is a good boob monster anyway. Sleeps ok too, normal feeding stuff. Realized the other day none of my family only my parents have come to see new baby. Not even on facebook have they commented. My neighbors as usually have been more attentive and even got me cake and presents. I was looking forward to seeing some family this time as I dont get to see them. But seems they arnt bothered.
