[pola17]

Lol Hama, you're such a cutie, but you need to let your mommy sleep!

 

[Barhanita]

Hama is such a beautiful baby!

 

[Sooz]

Bottle success! Little man likes the new natural avent bottles. My old ones evidently are not good enough for him.

 

[Barhanita]

Sooz, we are gonna try bottles today. Last week she refused them, but hopefully today we have a success. And I hope that after the bottles she will still take the breast.

 

[Sooz]

I've never had bottle to breast issues, only breast to bottle with both babies.

 

[Scottish]

Thanks girls! He's been napping longer this evening so fingers crossed. I had a 2 hour nap thanks to my oh so feeling more human.

Yay sooz that's fab !

 

[Barhanita]

Well, Lena was on the bottles in the beginning. But good to know, Sooz. So I was afraid. But she took once oz from her papa, and I topped her off with the breast. So hopefully, I will be able to do chorus and some work.

 

[lolpants]

Hama is gorgeous!

Celtic I loved the pics of Ryan on Facebook too!

Angel, hope you get the best results possible!

I have been using both breast and bottle since day 5 and no issues here.. I do wonder if thats why I don't suffer with an oversupply?

Mad how many babies are a month + old already, seems like yesterday we were all getting our BFP's!!

Lol xx

Ok so hama has been asleep since 11.30 it's now 1.17am and I am still not sleeping

Raptor is 8 weeks today. Also, I left him with a sitter to go to a Husker game. I am at ease as we have a webcam in the living room so we can look in on them, I am proud of myself for not being too neurotic.

 

[Barhanita]

Scottish, I suffer from the same thing: cannot sleep when Lena sleeps.

We went on a long hike. Lena got so sweaty in her Moby! but she still liked it.

Wannabe's babies are gonna be 4 months this month!!

 

[bella21]

scottish go to sleeeeeep!

bar a hike sounds like fun ! can't wait until i can walk without being in pain id love to go on a hike before winter is here! and wannabe's babies are 4 months already?! holy crap!

we had a good night tonight. figures that would happen when OH was home, all week while he was at work i had a crying baby from 8-10pm if not longer! not that I'm complaining lol

 

[Dragonfly]

Sorry to hear of all your sleep woes I am very lucky with Amelie as she sleeps well. Last night she slept from 10pm, woke at 3:30, fed for 20 mins, slept, woke at 7 just for a cuddle then slept til just after 9. Wow. I'm spoilt!

She's had awful milk spots this week.
I'm still anaemic so still feeling pretty drained and fighting the down feelings. And cursing myself for feeling crappy when really I'm very lucky and blessed. stupid, incomprehensible hormones!

Specialist came yesterday. The whole family are being sent for genetic testing for cystic fibrosis. She couldn't answer all if my questions. Have to see my GP For referral and discussion. It's great she's just a carrier but apparently there are no guarantees she won't display symptoms etc.

Nothing straightforward.

Sending you labour Babyhopes!

They said to me that I would know if it was CF as there would be failure to thrive, there wasnt so that put me at ease. I had to have two tests done and it was around christmas too so took longer. Then a sweat patch test. They woudlnt do our whole family though but fighting to get William done as he does display symptoms now and did after some vaccines which is why I stopped vaccinating as it can trigger dormant genes off. So Alex wasnt vaxed since 4 months old , same happened to my sister I believe and myself. I think its me that carries the gene with my chest problems. If she is a carrier she will need to be told when older and wanting children as her partner would need tested too. If you have two gene carriers then risks greatly do increase.

I am in the waiting zone now for Myles heel prick results back and I havnt heard anything yet at all. I dont like this wait either even if I think he is ok its not a nice wait.

 

[Dragonfly]

baby hopes here?

 

[babyhopes2010]

yeh. v v v painful contractions ALL night! then nothing by 6am. exhausted

 

[Dragonfly]

[babyhopes2010]

10 days over

 

[Angelmarie]

Oh my goodness, DF! Where did you learn about vaccinations triggering dormant genes? Eek. Something else to worry about. Do you have any links so I can read up so I can go armed with questions when we see thedoc?

I think I'm going to be the carrier too. I often get chest infections and have asthma.

Babyhopes! Fingers crossed you go today! At least you know you'll go before Tuesday. I bet it feels good to see the end of the road! You're going to have to have stern words once baby is here!

I am in a lot of groups and asked about a lot. Still researching or looking for something solid on that but I have spoken to a lot of knowledgeable people. My parents stopped vaccinating me as when I did get them as a baby I got very ill. chest problems. I took a vax as a teen as every one did in school and was asked, I didnt know any better. Landed me in hospital on a ventilator, years of chest problems and asthma. Then had another when I was 22, ended up in hospital. Humm pattern here. Same problems . My oldest son had them all apart from boosters and stopped eating and gets chest problems now. My sister is by far the worst as she is fully vaccinated. I a not vaccinating Myles and they know this and agree with me. I just have to do a letter to my doc to make them stop sending apps as they are automatic.I regret not knowing sooner. This is why I am trying to get my oldest tested for the gene which I am sure he has as he needs some help. He dosnt eat at all really either. After the mmr it changed him. Note I am not anti vax or anything or blaming them I do honestly think its the genes now.
