Congratulations babies777! Abs thanks for letting us know. Aww she is soooo cute in your avatar. That's great bf is going well and she's gaining good weight. How much did she weigh when she was born? I tore and had 4 stitches but my main pain came from a tear on my labia which they didn't stitch, it was very sore for quite a while. I remember peeing stang awfully for quite a while maybe a week and a half, and then I was sore for a few weeks. If I'm honest, dtd is still a bit uncomfortable now at 7.5m pp. But I know plenty of women on here who even though they had stitches, dtd returned to normal quickly.

Well last night was the worst ever night with Erin, even compared with when she was a newborn. She has a cold as well as teething, and could hardly breath. I got 15 minutes sleep up until 5.30am then I got an hour and a half disturbed sleep. She was waking every 15 minutes crying and I had to help settle her each time. Ended up sleeping on the floor next to her cot so I could quickly comfort her. Sooooo tired tonight. Poor little thing. Can feel the sharpness of the cut tooth now so hoping tonight might be slightly better. Think ill have a look into your teething tablets fizzio.

Hope everyone is ok xx
 
Ah babies7777 she is just adorable I'm glad all went well for you,apart from the stitches ouch.

Well done on the breast feeding

Poor you dreamer, I totally sympathise with you ... I'm hoping Ive been ther done that!!! But don't think the end is near yet!!

It's funny that there is always a challenge around the corner.... Weaning sorted.. Sleep sorted.... Crawling sorted then BOOM bloody teeth!!!!!
 
Congrats babies7777!!!! I was wondering how you were doing! So glad you and baby are both safe, and I'm so sorry about the rough labor. I had a very mild first degree tear, 2 stitches I think, and I had pain for weeks. I remember thinking that I would never be pain free again ( I had already had pelvic pain issues) but by about 8 weeks I felt totally normal. Yours may take a while due to the severity, but just keep reminding yourself that it does go away. Soaking a pad with witch hazel and then freezing it and then using it seemed to help at times. Just try your best not to sit on your stitches or do anything strenuous. I bet you'll be feeling yourself in no time! Hope it is starting to get better! :hugs:

Dreamer how is Erin? It sounds like you guys had a rough night!! I hope she is doing better. Poor babies, they are affected by so much and can't even explain to us how they feel :( I hope you were able to catch up on sleep!

Trixie I am sooo happy to hear about hispirits!!! I have kept my eye on her and I'm so glad it is finally her time. I still wish we'd hear from futuremama. I hope she is ok.

Hope all of you are doing well!
 
Thanks trix and stranj. She was much better the next eve, she only woke twice so I was able to get much more sleep. Tonight has been a weird one. She didn't go down until midnight, refused to feed every time I tried she would gag. She kept burping so thought she had stubbon wind but still nothing and then she was so tired she fell asleep with me rocking her which she hasn't done for a long time, normally she feeds to sleep. Just up feeding now but back to bed any min. Poor little thing. Oh and to top it off yesterday she grabbed the laptop cable (not plugged in) when I had my back turned and somehow smacked herself in the face with the square bit in the middle. She has a little cut under her eye and looks like it may bruise. Feel so awful.

Thanks for letting us know about hispirits trix, I left her a message but she says she is worried after her scan and hcg, she has another hcg test on Wed. Soooo hope its all ok for her, Shea been through so much.
 
yeah i know....im praying for her...she deserves it so much. i dont know wat its like to try for years and have that disappointment.
 
Sounds like things are looking up for hispirits. Yay!
Hope things are getting better dreamer. These bad nights hit us out of nowhere!
How is teething trixie? Giada horrible a few evening ago so I thought it was teething, but nothing new. Her eye was all red and she started crying in the bath which she never does, so I think I may have got soap in her eye and it set her off :(
I'm going to bed as she has been waking at 6:30 every morning :wacko: I am dreading the time change in 6 weeks. She is going to be up at 5:30!!! Is anyone else freaking out about this??
 
oh god i never thought of that!!!
conor has been great the last week....all 4 teeth are up....there iis a huge gap on the top 2 bu i think thats normal........he cant have ginger hair, big ears and wide teeth!!!!!!surely not!!!!!!!!!!lol
 
Ha ha trixie! He will be adorable!
Giada started crawling today!!!! She has only done it a few times so I think she is still getting the hang of it, but at least she did it!
 
thats great stranje, conor is non stop and i find it a struggle now to even get a nappy on!!!! but its lovely to see them reach that milestone!

how is her eating going???
 
Hey everyone!! Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. I find it hard to find the time these days. We have been constantly busy for the past month or so! Hope everyone is well!

Congrats to babies7777! Your little girl is adorable. Sorry the birth was a bit traumatic; I hope it's eased up for you now. Enjoy being a new mommy!!

And congrats to Hispirits on her BFP too! That's fantastic!

Dreamer, sorry Erin has had a rough go with the teething. Hopefully she and you have been getting better sleep lately!

Awesome news Trixie and Stranjegirl on the little ones crawling! Jack has just started crawling a few days ago too. Which he still drags his little belly on the ground, but he can really move now!
And Stranje, I hadn't thought of the time change affecting their sleep. Maybe it would help if we put them to bed an hour later which would be the time they are used to, and then gradually move it back up? Who knows! Hopefully, they will all adjust just fine.

Sorry if I've missed some other important news with alll the babies; it's just been so long since I've posted and can't really remember what all has been said. I will try to do better at posting more frequently from now on.

Not too much to report here. As I said earlier, Jack has started crawling now. Which I'm super pleased about, but he doesn't want to be held and cuddled as much because he'd rather be on the floor practicing his new skills! This makes me sad! I still rock him to sleep on my days off though, so hopefully he'll let me still continue to do that for a while! We also had our first baby "sign and sing" class yesterday. I really enjoyed it, and I hope Jack gets a few things out of it. I've been trying to use the signs we learned when it's applicable. Let's see: we learned the sign for "more", "eat", "happy", "hello", "what", and "mommy", and "daddy". There were a few more, but I can't remember them!!
Jack also had his first little cold last week. He had a runny nose and ran a fever for one night, so we were up a lot that night, but luckily his fever went away and he was feeling himself the next day (even though I wasn't!). Ha!

Hmmm, can't really think of anything else going on with us. I hope you all have a great weekend. We have had gorgeous fall weather this week. It's actually not so miserably hot anymore, so I think Jack and I may have a fun Saturday out and about since his daddy is going to a football game.
 
Ah it's so good to hear from you lady , I'm glad jack is doing well, and another crawler whoo hoo!! I feel abit sad he isn't a baby baby anymore too!! Although when he is tired he still looks for his cuddles!

Think I mite be in for a rotten nite, he has woke up 2 times in the past hour! Better hit the sack!!!
 
So great to hear from you ladyl!! Sounds like Jack is doing wonderfully! Giada is the same way- no more cuddles :( I hold her and squeeze her and kiss her and she just squirms away. She only sits with me during feeding, rocking her to sleep and if I'm reading her a book. Other than that she couldn't care is I was nearby or not :cry: I guess I'm just not as interesting as the floor lol.

Trixie how was your night?? HOpe it went better than expected!

So I don't now if Giada is really crawling. I swear she did it today but it was only briefly and now she is back to her usual thing where she goes forward in a crawling position and takes one step with her knees and hands and then either goes on her stomach or she pushes herself back onto her feet and sits. But this morning she took more than one step, she took like 3 so I thought she was crawling, but by the end of the night she was doing her usual thing. I don't know what to think. ANyone else's lo's start out this way? I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings. Maybe she is more alert in the morning!

ANyone else having problems with baby and bump ads covering information and buttons on the page? Not sure if it is because i'm on a mac, but the last few days the ads have been covering stuff.

Hope all is well!
 
Hahaha trixie, he is adorable and I'm sure he'll stay that way. I reckon their teeth probably move a lot as more come in, and as their faces grow. How did last night go?

Congrats on the crawling babies! Erin is making no attempts at all at crawling, she is quite happy rolling around everywhere and she is a pro at it now! Gets into everything and gets everything she wants by rolling to it. Maybe she'll just walk or bottom shuffle instead of crawling.

Great to hear from you lady. Did you enjoy the sing and sign. Do you think its worth it? I haven't been but I've been using the sign for milk for quite a while now whenever I'm about to feed.

Stranj, I haven't had any issues with ads on here, but I can't seem to load the page up in internet explorer anymore, only the top strip loads, none of the actual content. So I use firefox instead. Or my phone.

I'm looking forward to the clocks changing, as it will mean an hour earlier to bed. Erin's standard sleep time has been 11ish-8am (with wakeups!) so will shift it slightly earlier hopefully. Saying that had a fab night last night, she went down at 8pm and didnt wake until 9am. She did wake at 9pm for some food. But then me and OH had a nice meal and some us time, I didn't go to bed til midnight. Then she woke at 3.30 and didnt go straight back to sleep I was thinking oh no is she up for the day now! But she went down about 4.30 and slept through til 9!!! They are so unpredictable.

She still has a cold too and has given it to me and OH now so we're all suffering. Her little tooth is coming up now bless, looks so cute. I'm hoping she won't bite me when nursing as it's really sharp!!!

Babies777 how are you feeling now? Hows little Alannah?
 
Alannah is doing great thanks besides some wind issues of an evening, im still really sore tho got the stitches out today as they hadnt fully dissolved so im hoping that will help. Its like a pulling feeling, did you have that?

Hope all your los are well, they are growing so fast!

awh babies7777 your avatar is gorg!! she is just beautiful!
hope with having the stiches out gives you some comfort! how is everything going??? i cant even remember conor at 2 weeks old!!! isnt it amazing how time flys.....
i regret not getting the pixiphoto of conor earlier....you should look into getting one with your bounty voucher....the one with the bow around them is soooo cute!

im going to book conor in to get a photo done for christmas...one with him sitting in a bucket with just a christmas hat on looks cute!......

cconor slept grand that nite, but last nite was bad but i think its because i took him in to bed at 3am and he never really settled after that....bold mummy!!!

he is great now though....dont know if i said stranje but thats how conor started of crawling....and still walks on all fours!!....pushing himself forward wit a foot....hes going rightly now and cant stop him getting into everything!

god we spend a year hoping they will walk and 2 years teaching them to talk and spend the next 18 telling them to sit down and shut up!!!!!!!
 
I don't remember any pulling feeling babies7777, just remember being sore lol. How are you feeling now the stitches have gone?

Had a great night again last night with Erin. She went down at about 8.30, woke at 9.30 for food, then slept through til 8.30am. I haven't had a stretch of sleep that long in I don't know how long! She went down at a similar time tonight, so fingers crossed for a similar pattern!!!

Cute trix on the xmas pic! we've got a photo shoot on 6th oct, and we've got an xmas outfit for her, thought we'd get some done then. We're going to make photo xmas cards for family, you can get them done for around £8 for 20. Thought that was quite reasonable as they'll be very special.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
