hi ladies, long time no speak!
haven't been on here in ages so i have no idea how everyone is but i hope you and all your little ones are doing well.
I never seem to have a free minute to myself even when he is in bed lol.
Callum is doing well, started crawling a couple of weeks ago and is really eager to progress from cruising to walking unassisted.
Poor mite is struggling with his teeth again at the moment, numbers 9, 10 and 11 are on their way at the moment and he has become super picky with what he'll eat.
I'm not that concerned as my youngest sister was the same but would be nice to offer him fruit for a change or something other than mash potatoes!
He's also still not sleeping through. We had a spate of a month where he did then he had 6 teeth through at once beginning Feb and he has only slept through twice since unless i let him sleep in our bed.
He's still on 3 bottles a day and 1 in the night and i'll be honest it's exhausting.
Don't believe in crying it out and we've tried the night weaning which just hasn't worked so now just going with it and hoping he'll stop soon.
Hope to get on here a bit more often and keep up to date with everyone now, although it all depends on what kind of night little man is having as he doesn't like to be settled by daddy only mommy!

Hey trix, was everything ok?
Good to hear from you baby2310. Glad callum is doing really well and is on his way to walking around. Sorry you are feeling exhausted, its so hard when you dont have time for yourself. Hopefully these teeth cut quickly and things can settle down for a bit again

Well apparently I'm less than 4 weeks... The doc was lovely, the same man that found the triplets !!! So I joked about him seeing another set! But at the minute he could only see the beginning of a pregnancy... It was even too small to measure so I have another scan on the 5 th June...
I'm doing really wel this pregnancy ... Must be because I'm so early??? But he the hell did I get such a strong pos test on day 30 9 dpo if I'm supposed to be only 3 weeks + ???? Now I'm day 40?? Anyway at least I got the pregnancy confirmed!
Baby so good to hear from you... It's hard when they aren't great sleepers... We had to do the controlled crying and although it took a couple of really hard weeks I'll never look back!
Try decreasing the night feed by 1 oz every couple of nights and when you get down to one oz after a week he really won't be that bothered.... Should take you a couple of weeks.... But at least that's one thing you could try. It's worked for lots of mums I work with!
Another thing is give him some weetabix or ready brek before bed to help fill his wee tummy.
If you can get him into his cot awake to self settle he will stop waking in the middle of the night.... It takes a lot if crying on both parts but it Defo only will last 2 weeks max...
Hope some of that makes sense!!! Conor is getting another molar so we doing the tough love too.... Thankfully he settled tonight straight away and was asleep in 5 mins..... Mind you he sleeps from 7 am but is awake at 5;45 every day!! My little alarm clock!
That's the same even if we put him to bed at midnite!

Hi Everyone!
Dreamer I am so sorry about OH's grandma
That is awful to hear and I hope you both are recovering as well as possible. It's never easy. 
I'm glad to hear Erin is feeling better. Sounds like she had a bad case of teething. I think giada's 4th molar has finally fully popped through. Hoping we get a break from teething for a while. It's been 4 molars in the past couple months.
Trixie I am glad you are feeling well. I wish you would have gotten to see something more at your scan! I went in at 3+6 and we saw something that looked like a poppy seed. The dr said he thought that was the beginning. I measured a week behind until the 7th week where giada finally caught up to what I knew the due date would be. I swear she has been behind from the start lol! Hope you get to see something good at the next one!
Baby2310, so good to hear from you!!! Sounds like Callum is getting ready to walk!! How exciting! Sorry the sleep isn't going as well as you would like. Is he genuinely hungry when he wakes? I started giving giada 2 bottles before bed. One like an hour before bed, and then another right at bed time. If I didn't she would wake to eat and would scream and scream til i got her bottle, , SHe would gulp it down and then fall right back asleep. I haven't had a problem since I started monitoring and making sure she got enough during the day and right before bed.
Good to hear from you too ladyl! Can't believe how time is flying!!!! WHat are your plans when the baby is born?? You must be so excited! Jack is adorable!
How is everyone else??? I hope everyone is feeling well. I love seeing the pictures of the little ones!!! So adorable!!! Here are a couple of giada. One she is eating her beets/broccoli and the second she is playing peekaboo.
My back went out on monday so I have been stuck on the couch all week. I think it is probably from stress. DH and I are in escrow for a house and my dad went in for a pacemaker last week. It's a minor surgery but I always worry as he is 80 and has had heart issues since he was 55. DH and I have been fighting a lot. Sometimes I just get so fed up I can't take it anymore. I'm hoping things will calm down a bit when we move and he has a different job. I'm still concerned about giada as she still says ZERO words and still doesn't point!!! She has starting using her whole hand to gesture toward things she wants if they are food items. She is such a piggy I swear. A couple times she gestured toward a toy out of reach, so maybe it is starting, but even so, it is very late and no words. We see the dr today. I keep reading things on autism and getting freaked out. DH was delayed in speech and then caught up without any intervention, so I hope it is just that.
Hope everyone is well!!

What hispirits??? I can't believe this! You seriously need a break and for everything to go perfectly for the next decade!! You have been through too much!! So glad you are home safe! How are you feeling otherwise?
I just got back from giada's dr's appt. He wasn't overly concerned with her lack of speech and pointing (actually he didn't seem to care at all about pointing) but wants me to get her hearing checked. He isn't seeing any signs of autism as she was very attentive and busy exploring everything in his office. He said he was with an 18 month old today who wasn't saying any words or much babbling, and that he seemed the slightest bit disconnected and that he wanted him to get checked out from Early Intervention, but he doesn't feel giada needs that assessment at this time as she is babbling fine and seems totally connected. He said that although he sees no signs of autism, he would suggest getting her checked out by early intervention if she makes no progress in speech by 18 months just to be on the safe side and make sure there are no signs of global delays or autism, but he feels that she's fine and will be talking soon. One of my worries is she does not have conversations with us. I keep hearing about kids her age talking to you like they are asking you a question. Speaking in their own language to you and using inflection. She babbles all day long but not so much to us like she is having a conversation with us. I honestly feel like she is never going to talk
Oh well, I guess we will give it another couple months and see what happens.

Hi, that's awful, I'm so sorry to hear that. How are you feeling now? Were you really poorly with it? How's your little man doing?
Baby2310, we also did controlled crying, I know its not for everyone but I've never looked back. It was quick for us, the first night she cried for 45 minutes (with us going in at the recommended intervals), she woke once in the night and again cried for 45 mins. The second night was about 20 I think, with no night walings and then only 5 minutes for the next couple of nights, then she just rolled over after that. We sometimes get 5 mins of moaning still, but generally she will go dowm quickly and no night wakings. I just couldn't have coped with working and continuing the way it was. I hope he improves soon for you, being shattered is so hard.
giada is so cute stranj! Glad to hear the doc wasn't concerned although it sounds like he hasn't completely put your mind at rest which is a shame hun. You'll be looking back in a few months going what was I so concerned about when she's spouting off lots of words and you can't get her to shut up hehe. Erin doesn't hold conversations either, no infliction or anything, even though she does say a couple of words.
Thanks for the well wishes, its the funeral on Wed. It's my ohs bday tomorrow, I've been baking and wrapping gifts and blowing up balloons all night. I've done a giant cupcake but half of its stuck to the tin, and its still not cool enough to ice at midnight! Never goes to plan haha. Early start for me then

Congratulations Trix hun, hope you're well and thanks for the advice will be giving the weetabix idea a go.
Hispirits congrats on your lttle boy, so sorry you're having trouble and hope that you get sorted this time. Little one is such a cutie!
So sorry for your loss Dreamer, hope the funeral goes ok. Hope you're well other than that.
Stranje don't worry about Giada not talking, my nephew was 2 and half before he decided to speak, no problems just decided that's when he wanted to do it. Little monkeys aren't they
Callum is still waking in the night for 5 ounces, i think the problem is he isn't filling up on enough food as he has gone so picky so he is substituting with milk.
Last night he had 12 oz then straight to bed and still woke 7 hours later and drank 5 oz.
The night before he did the same thing except he had 14 oz before bed!
His day looks a bit like this
7.00 breakfast - whole weetabix, porridge or sugar puffs
9.30-10.00 bottle whole cows milk (anywhere between 4oz and 7oz) followed by half a piece of wholemeal toast
10.30 ish nap (anywhere between 35 mins to 1hr and 30 mins)
12.00 lunch - normally a pouch of 7 month old baby food as won't touch anything else and a fruit pot of pureed fruit. Nanny might also give him a biscuit or some chocolate
2.30 another bottle (anywhere between 4oz and 7oz)
3.00 bit of my sandwich, raisins, cheese or toasr
4.15 tea (mash potato some brocolli veggie nuggets or fishfingers) will eat about half a bowl followed by raisins and a biscuit or carrot stix or sweetcorn hoops
6.00-7.00 daddy time, reading books then bath at 6.30 every other night (alternate nights he watches in the night garden before getting his pyjamas on)
7.00 bottle (typically 10oz but can vary between 8oz and 14oz)
7.15-8.00 sometimes he goes straight to sleep after his bottle other times i have to lie in the room with him as he just wants to talk but if i try and leave the room he crys and kicks the bed until i go back in. Has only started doing this since the bad teething started in feb when he had 6 top teeth come through at once.
sometime between 1.30-4.00 another bottle always 5oz
I know he should be eating a lot more fruit and veg but he just refuses point blank.
He won't eat yoghurt, jelly, custard etc as he doesn't seem to like the texture and he won't eat anything cold.
He seems healthy and happy and is putting on weight well, going to get him weighed again next week, was 23lbs the beginning of May.
I just hope he naturally decide he doesn't want a bottle in the night anymore, my mom said the 4 of us did the same thing when we were his age.
He still in our room at the moment as i have to keep getting up with him and i'm up early for work so i would be even more exhausted if he wasn't.
Not that my SIL can understand that, i get asked everytime i see her whether we have put him in his own room and get a dirty look when i explain why not.
Then again she also told me it's not normal for him to be getting up still and something might be wrong which really upset me.
Fortunately my health visitor is fantastic and reassured me he is perfectly normal and all babies are different.
Like i said he's a very happy little boy and babbles away to himself lots, understands everything you say and loves to hold your hands and kick a ball around.
Even though i'm tired, as long as he's happy that's all that matters really

baby2310- we still have giada in our room too. I just don't talk about it with people who will give me crap about it lol. My sister kept her kids in her room til they were 3. I like having her in our room. We plan on moving her when we move to a new house in a couple months, but I feel everyone has to do what is right for them. Have you tried changing his bedtime to a little later? Maybe if he is really tired he will sleep a bit longer? I think we can all try different things, adn some may work for some people, but then there are just some babies where that is what their bodies do no matter what we try and we just have to live with it! It sounds like it runs in your family so you may just be stuck waking up in the night for a little longer! I feel for you because I am such a grump when my sleep is disturbed, but some day you will sleep peacefully again!! It's all worth it!
Dreamer how was the funeral? I hope you and oh are doing ok
How are you trixie? Any symptoms??

hi hope all our new bumps are coming along nicely and i hope all the mummas arent suffering to much.
strang hope your backs getting better. giada looks divine!
my baby is amazing me everyday, the long grey days of infertility seems like they happened to a different person now.
Frazer went from 6lb13 down to 6lb in hospital. we've been home just over two weeks and he's up to 7lb6! my little pork chop! hes taking 150ml a feed! he really reacted badly to my expressed breast milk in hospital, i've been on antibiotics, and have been to scared to give it to him again until i'm off the antibiotics, so i've been pumping and dumping for over 2 weeks!!!! and i've just been prescribed another weeks worth because despite the d&c friday my uterus has still not gone down!
my milk supply has massively decreased, i'm hoping i have the drive to carry on for another week then try to get my supply up again and maybe put him to the breast again. but hes doing so well on formula, i think its for my own benefit i want him to have the old 'breast is best'
no his lol
he's such a good baby goes 3-4 hours between feeds, sleeps really well, only wakes up for a bum change and feed. dh has been amazing, can't believe what a good dad he is already.
and i love being a mum, feels so surreal!!
some piccies of my new world!!!!

strang hope your backs getting better. giada looks divine!
my baby is amazing me everyday, the long grey days of infertility seems like they happened to a different person now.
Frazer went from 6lb13 down to 6lb in hospital. we've been home just over two weeks and he's up to 7lb6! my little pork chop! hes taking 150ml a feed! he really reacted badly to my expressed breast milk in hospital, i've been on antibiotics, and have been to scared to give it to him again until i'm off the antibiotics, so i've been pumping and dumping for over 2 weeks!!!! and i've just been prescribed another weeks worth because despite the d&c friday my uterus has still not gone down!
my milk supply has massively decreased, i'm hoping i have the drive to carry on for another week then try to get my supply up again and maybe put him to the breast again. but hes doing so well on formula, i think its for my own benefit i want him to have the old 'breast is best'
no his lolhe's such a good baby goes 3-4 hours between feeds, sleeps really well, only wakes up for a bum change and feed. dh has been amazing, can't believe what a good dad he is already.
and i love being a mum, feels so surreal!!
some piccies of my new world!!!!

Wow hispirits!!! He is absolutely beautiful!!!! Sorry about the pumping. I hated pumping!! Sometimes I'd pump for 20 minutes and only get a few drops!! Hope the antibiotics clear everything up so you can get on with normal life (or as normal as life is with a newborn lol!)
His, he is so adorable and doing so well what a good sleeper and eater, good lil man!! Hope you feel better soon.
Stranje, Giada is so cute what a gorgeous little face
Hope things are ok dreamer.
How are you feeling trix?
Baby, don't let It bother you what people say about have you lil man in you room. Do what's best for you. Regarding the night feeding, have you tried offering him water instead of milk. I had a hard time getting Darcey off her night feeds and starting giving her water. Maybe worth a shot?
Hope everyone else is well xxx

Hi ladies how are we all?
Hope you're having fun camping trix, and the weather is being good to you. How is conor with the camping, is this your first time with him?
Hispirits, what a little beauty you have there! That's fantastic on his weight gain, and well done for pumping for this time. I hated pumping so much, it was so time consuming when there's so many other things to do!
We're all ok, the funeral was a lovely service, very emotional but a good send off. Her nephew who she practically raised did a lovely reading, all from the heart, summed her up fantastically and he also read her last email to him which was updating him on all the family and she was saying what a delight Erin is, that she is such a well behaved little girl, doesn't make a squeak at anything, and what a lovely mum I am to her - that was so tough, cried so much but was lovely. Erin has now got 10 teeth, she cut another molar recently which was tough all round! She's dancing to a music video on tv at the moment, too cute!
Hope you all have a great weekend x

HI Everyone!
Dreamer, so glad the funeral went as well as possible. What a nice thing to hear about Erin and you as a mom. It always means so much when it is said to someone else than to us directly, as sometimes we wonder if they are just being nice to our face. I hope all of you are healing well
Wow lilrojo, where has the time gone??? That's amazing! How are you feeling? Hopefully you will have a very easy second trimester!
I saw the dr yesterday for a pap. I am so nervous. My last 2 have been normal, but they were not normal the 18 months before that. I hate waiting for the results!! We started talking about having another, and dh and I really can't decide. Is anyone else having a tough decision? I know fizzio was for a while, but I'm not sure what she decided. I get so worried about either having a child with special needs, or something going wrong with me. I had that pelvic joint issue (spd I think) and I keep wondering if it will be worse next time and what if it doesn't go away etc etc. My dr told me that now they can do a blood test at 10 weeks to tell you the gender and if the child has down syndrome with over 99% accuracy. His office was partaking in the study and the results have been amazing! We wouldn't terminate the pregnancy even if the child had an issue, so for us we still need to think about the possibility of having a child with down syndrome or something else. It's not that it would be the worst thing, but obviously your lives change drastically. At least now we know what he have and there are no surprises. Ugh I dont know. THe situation would be easier if I were a little younger, but I am already 38. Oh well, hopefully in a few months we will make a decision.
DH and I just closed escrow on a house today. Eeeks!!! Dh just gave his 2 week notice today and will be starting his new job August 1st. I'm not looking forward to moving!! It's been so stressful and dh and I have been fighting all the time. I guess it's normal when your stressed. We are also leaving for colorado next thursday as dh's brother is getting married. Hoping giada will do ok. She's been doing well but still no words. Oh well, I guess she will talk when she is ready. I keep forgetting to make her a hearing appt.
How is everyone else????
