August Beach Bumps - 24 Girls, 27 boys, & 2 team yellow! 39 babies born!!

Celtic honestly I don't know how you do it, I'm stressed if I have to do bedtime on my own with two. Your superwoman in my eyes, honestly, I'm not at all surprised you feel stressed out.

I will admit I am finding it hard! the older boys are brill they go to bed them selfs but it is the smaller ones esp Paul who for some reason wont keep any clohes on him I really want to enjoy this stage with Ryan feel I am not

Caelan is going through a phase of stripping down to his boxers all the time. He pretends to be Hulk he just won't keep the rest of his clothes on. Today he has the snuffles

I agree with Sooz-you're Superwoman. Bedtime is tough with three. Eden decides to start telling me about his day (even though earlier his response to "any Craic from today" is "no" ) Caelan bounces off walls 'hulk smashing' stuff then insists I stay with him until he falls asleep which means I'm sitting on his floor breastfeeding while Amelie starts her nightly fussing session!

Daniel is self employed videographer so his hours are all over the place. Plus our friend (the one I mentioned as having inoperable cancer) is needing lots of help so Daniel is doing lots for him. So I'm often on my own. It is tough. I can't imagine having 6 on my own!

Huge congrats, Babyhopes! What a good weight!!! Hope all ok. Looking forward to pics!

what is what kids and that just before bed and bouncing off the walls Eireann and Paul both do that!! they both have colds as well

sounds like our houses are very a like at the minute sending you

congrats babyhopes!!!

well i took chase into the PED today, he said he's 100% healthy, nothing wrong with him....except he's colic. lol i guess I'm in for it the next couple months it feels better to hear that than just guess. I at least know he's healthy and I don't need to blame myself anymore

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Bella !!! So sorry but know you know what it is! I hope you can find a lot of patience and support to get you through these next few months

Celtic I admire you. I bet it's so hard. hopefully your DH can be home more soon. I can't even take care and bathe Isabela by myself at night

Baby hopes congratulations!! I can't wait to see pics! And WHOA a big baby! I am sure Isabela doesn't weigh that much at 2 months lol

We have our 2 month appointment tomorrow! I can't believe she's almost 2 months! Why!! They grow up so fast it's bittersweet

I stupidly gave my daughter that gripe water to help her with gas that she can already pass her self, now she has been up for 4 hours yelling, screaming. more gassy and irritated. She refuses to fall asleep and has pooped and sharted 10 times. she constantly wants to eat on top of it and gets more gas by sucking like a maniac. I feel so bad.

 

[Barhanita]

HH, sounds like 3 week growth spurt!

 

[HHenderson]

Seriously!? Theres always something isnt there.. I feel so exhausted because I have everything else to do on top of keeping her happy.

 

[Barhanita]

12 lbs today!

 

[bella21]

HH I just went through that too with chase, he went from 2 1/2oz to 3-4oz in a week! now i never know what to make his bottles at so i end up topping off with the extra ounce to make it 4. he was also sucking like a maniac.

bar she's sooo adorable!!

bore good luck at your 2 month appointment ! crazy how fast that went!

celtic- supermom...enough said lol

 

[mac1979]

Raptor has been powering through 6 oz like a champ since I got faster flow nipples.

 

[Sooz]

Paige is also going through the stripping off phase, even when it's freezing she's butt naked! If she's not naked she's got about three items of clothing, mostly pajamas, she'll permit me to dress her in.

babyhopes, adorable!!

Lena is refusing to eat or sleep... for over 7 hours now... I have no idea why...

 

[Scottish]

Baby hopes he's gorgeous and I love the pic of him and his sister so sweet, hope u feeling good xxx

Bar love the bath pic she looks so chilled out! Hope u have managed to get some sleep? Hama never slept until after 2am last night I was pulling my hair out! He wasn't to upset just wide awake, he also just refuses to nap over 2 hours is Lena the same? My dd wasn't ike this so this time I've been blessed with a terrible sleeper I think hehe hopefully they grow out if it soon!

 

[Dragonfly]

I remember the boys head circ was like 54 for both them, and Myles was something like 37 too. Which explains why I couldnt get my last two out without assistance lol big noggins on them.

Alex seems a bit more settled with no garlic in me. Gutted as I have garlic bread in the freezer calling my name.

 

[lolpants]

Adorable Babyhopes! He won't be in that basket for long!!

Lol xx

 

[Angelmarie]

Lovely pics, Babyhopes! I love how Freya's top is coordinated with Alex's blanket!

Bar- I hope Lena settled for you and you managed some rest! it's very frustrating when they are restless and we don't know why. Have you looked into the Dunstan baby language? it's worth a shot? I find it often seems very accurate! (Though nothing ultimately can beat mothers intuition IMO)

I rally feel for you, Scottish. I know I'm lucky this time but Caelan regularly stayed up until the early hours up until being over a year! He would literally be running around (he walked at 8 months) and it had us demented! I hope you can settle agama into a good routine soon

 

[HHenderson]

Babyhopes- beautiful children

Bar- has Lena fallen asleep yet? Was she fussy and mad or just awake and content?

After my DD's episode yesterday I finally got her to sleep. She slept almost 3.5 hrs and I had to wake her up at 11pm to change her and try to feed her. Last night I was the one waking her up to change and feed her. She only ate 2 times. She woke up this morning and we took a walk after I fed her came back home and she is finally taking a nap. Shes perfectly happy and normal. She even SMILED TWICE!! My hair for some reason enchants her its funny. Lesson to take from my crazy baby, no gripe water ever again (and why is it so expensive?) .. stupid.

 

[mac1979]

Henderson-that is so weird as I give Raptor gripe water to reduce his gas (he was stinking me out of the house before) and he is content with it...really no change at all, just less stinky.

Bar-I really hope Lena calmed down for you, she seemed so happy during bath time.

Am I a bad person if I let Raptor lay awake in his crib at night. He doesn't cry or make any noise. Only reason I know he is awake is because we have a night vision web cam in there and I can look at him on my phone. I feel bad but I know if I go in there I won't get any sleep as I will rock him all night since I know he will stay awake.

Raptor is officially 2 months old today...Friday the 13th!!

Oh he is beautiful cingrats again

After my hectic evening dh got home at 11 pm he was wrecked and not happy at all, but he doesn't have to work Saturday yay

We had a chat about things I noticed he seemed stressed and cross this morning and he told me he is not happy in work and his boss is stressed and giving out to them all the time . He is going to have a chat with him on monday

I am waiting at the hospital with Ryan he needed repeat bloods done I am not worried say they will be fine. Just a long wait for them to come back

 

[Angelmarie]

Mac- no chance you're a bad person for leaving Raptor awake! If he isn't crying and looks fine on monitor then leave him! If you were to go to him you would only spoil him. If he's able to self soothe and be content that's great! Amazing! Chilled out baby you have there

Henderson - that's so odd about the gripe water! Long may your happy baby remain!

Celtic- hope your hubby gets things sorted ASAP. Good luck with Ryan's bloodwork
