He's asleep on my bed now! Snoring very loudly and snottily!! Right I'm off to sleep too while he is as it's 1:16am here already!

Night night

Does vapo-rub and a humidifier help Lou?

Speaking of solids... Daniel CHOWED down tonight on zuchinni/courgette. He just shoved a stick in his mouth and chomped down until it was just a nub.. ate the skin and all.. polished off 3 sticks (thats about 3/8ths of a zuchinni the way I cut it up).
He's still not sure what to make of the sweet potatoes... but I am sure enjoying the leftovers!!

Yay Daniel! Good eater! He has how many teeth now ?

Lou I really hope he stays asleep!

What's a courgette? Are u still pumping Lisa? How many times a day and what is yr output? Just curious.

 

[lisaf]

courgette is zuchinni.. I just translated for the UK girls
He has no teeth at all! Still manages to chomp down on it!

I still pump, but my supply is actually very well matched to his needs now.
He eats 4 bottles of 6ozs each through the morning/day. Then I BF him before bed (and lately during the night when he wakes up).

In the morning I pump 8-10ozs or so... then pump 6ozs at each of my 2 pumps at work. Then I pump 3 ounces or so before bed. (if I skip that bedtime pump then my daytime supply dwindles ) I think I end up with maybe 6 extra ounces once a week now instead of daily. My freezer supply is almost gone since I gave all the older stuff away (still have 1 batch to be picked up) I only have about 7 bags that are 'current'

Morning Ladies!

I hope Laura had a better end to her night!

Pick up MIL from the airport last night, she was coming back from a weekend away.
OH took her to the airport and she asked him "have you guys thought about any names yet??" so Oliver told her a few ideas we had, she just went "ummm.... " and then said "you know I really really like the name Amélia" and as Oliver did not react much she then added " I really like Amélia, will you make sure that you tell V that I really like Amélia"... Oh dear the muddling starts!!!
When I picked her up, it turned out she went shopping and could not resist buying the baby a bib... we have been trying to be good and not buy anything until at least the 12 weeks scan... it is very cute and I know she meant well but I wanted to be the one buying something for the baby first....
I know her intentions are good... it's just my mum would never make that sort of mistake, she would not try to force a name on us and she would buy things for us at this stage and definitely not something for the baby yet....

Anyway, off the the gynaecologist at lunch time, I am hoping I will finally be referred and meet my OB or midwife at the hospital later on in the week or next week.

Speak soon xx

Morning girls

I forgot to tell you all that I text Laura on Sunday. She is fine but hasn't had chance to come on as she said two kids is loads harder work than she was expecting! She BF for a couple of days but said Chloe was feeding loads and she couldn't keep up so has switched to formula. She says she'll try to get on soon x

 

[megs79]

Hi there everyone - remember me?!!! Just wanted to pop in and say hello to you and your BEAUTIFUL babies! Congrats Laura - i'll always remember you sending me those opks and now you've got 2 little cuties!!

Frida turned one yesterday - I'll add a pic of her.

Have had a little look at the recent posts and Jess I just wanted to say so so sorry about the hard time you are having. I really hope it helps in some way tomorrow.

I'll try and pop in more often - not posted for absolutely ages!!

Lots of love xxx

 

[babyloulou]

Hi Meg Lovely to see you honey!!

We all keep up on Facebook too if that's easier for you?

Frida is gorgeous!!

 

[megs79]

That is a bit - I'm megan sheer on there and my profile pic is of me and Frida on the grass

Ben - and all the babies in fact - is a stunner! x

 

[babyloulou]

I've added you Meg! It really is lovely to see you! I was wondering about you the other day xx

 

[megs79]

Ace! Does Ellen still come on here too? x

 

[babyloulou]

She did up until about a month ago but then she disappeared!

 

[kcw81]

Hi Meg! Glad to see u. Frida is cute!

V- thats the trouble with telling her early, she's gonna start nosing into yr biz early!

Hi Lou! Ben ok?

Jimmy woke in the middle of the night wailing. It's been awhile. Nothing was wrong so I just gave him a small bottle and shushed and he calmed down thankfully. He was so frantic poor thing must have had a bad dream or something.

Jess what r u doing today?

 

[Onelildream]

Casey- have u heard if night terrors? They are awful for children! Start about now and go up to school age.

Meg- hi! Nice to see you. Frida is beautiful! Will add u on FB now.

V- don't be upset about her buying something. That is what a loving gma does. That's the risk u make telling people early. I had 3 miscarriages and retracting what I had told was the hardest thing to do. By the 3rd, we didn't tell anyone until after we had our 12week scan. Upside is that if u do miscarry, you will have loads of support. Catch 22.

Lou- thanks for the update on Laura.

Well off to submit paperwork and such for the ugly house. Hahaha. Connor went in for his 6 mo appt yesterday; 16#8oz and almost 27 inches. 75% head circumference

 

[lisaf]

Aw crap, that reminds me Daniel's appt is this friday.. I am still pouting about having to reschedule it!

Hi Meg!! Nice to see you again!

V - UGH, I don't know what it is with MILs. I don't know if its that they don't think about you as a person as much since their emotional/biological investment is with the grandchild first, then you 2nd (whereas mothers first emotional/biological investment is with you first and grandchild 2nd?). Or maybe its that we really can't just tell them off the way we would our own mothers?
Its too late since she already bought the bib. Ask her not to buy anything else or at least not to buy a specific item that you'd like to be the one to pick out first etc.

 

[kcw81]

Wow chell good stats on Connor! Nice and tall right? I gotta get Jimmy measured in length tomorrow cuz the doc was concerned at his 9 month that his height was lacking. Hope he grew but it doesnt seem like it!

 

[SBB]

Hey Meg lovely to see you, I'll add you on FB too!

V seriously, just keep all names to yourselves and tell everyone it's a surprise. Otherwise they butt in and ruin every name you think of!!
The bib is annoying, but try and just let it go... You'll buy lots of lovely things for the baby - and things more special than a bib!

Good work on the eating Daniel!

Chell good luck with the house...

Casey - erm can't think of anything I need to say to you

Jess how is your day?

Lou did Ben do ok last night?

Ok I'm done!
