End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

[OmiOmen]

JJ spent first nights away from me when I was in hospital with CJ but DH come home to stay with him on a night still.

Newborn to around three seems a bit scary when going on holiday. I know we won't be going out Europe and the less travelling time the better. We are long overdue a holiday though so I really want to get away next year.

 

[babyface15]

see I'd love so much to get to sleep in, but I'd have to pump before and pump while she's gone so I'm not engorged. they live about an hours drive away so it's not so easy to drop off. also I think I'd be too big of a mope missing her to enjoy myself, but I bet I'd be a happy mamma if I got to sleep lol! we'll see how things go I guess over the next month or so

how's your holiday pebbie?
hubs had today off work for a holiday so we've been enjoying the long weekend

I also went to Egypt last year when faith was 1 ... It wasn't to bad

Hi all.

Our babes are all losing that newborn look but they are all gorgeous.

How are you zf? Are the drugs helping? My friend as been diagnosed with pp psychosis. Scary stuff.

What diet are you on CLH? I am still grossed out by myself. Yuck. Hate having a fat belly - I still look preggers.

Glad you are enjoying your holiday pebbie. I am at my mums this weekend, will def be giving her Matilda so I can sleep. I bet I wake up when she cries anyway.

July 12 I am away for a night. Dreading it now. Bub will be 8 weeks.

How's everyone getting on? Alastair was weighed yesterday and in 5 days he's gone from 9 lb 3 to 9 lb 12! Little chubba!
He seems to be constipated atm bless him, I introduced a bottle of formula after his breastfeed at bedtime and it seems to have caused him to be constipated
Hope everyone else is OK

 

[OmiOmen]

It seems like a lot of you are more brave with holidays and babies than I am. We won't have a huge amount to spend on a holiday next year so it will probably be in Italy or maybe France so DS2 can go to Disneyland.

Little Ducky, hope that Alastair gets used to the formula and feels better soon.

Passion, I love seeing babies lose that newborn look because you start to see who they look like more.

Cooper was 9lbs 10oz at birth and yesterday he was 10lbs 11oz so he is putting on weight well despite being gassy and throwing up a little after many feeds. The HV is coming every week at the moment to make sure I don't develop depression due to the delivery. I had the doctors appointment for the contraception talk yesterday which basically was just getting told see you in 3 weeks for your 6 week check.

 

[Little Ducky]

How are you feeling now after the delivery Omi?

 

[babyface15]

ah it must be so nice to live in Europe, you can go so many places so easily! I live on an island out in the Atlantic, takes forever and costs a fortune to go anywhere!

aw passion I know, calla is losing it too!

I have a little chunky babe here too. just weighed her in at 10 lbs 3 Oz. she gained 8 Oz this week and 12 Oz last week lol

it really doesn't seem she gets enough sleep to me. She's up for a while after each feeding and sometimes doesn't sleep at all after a feeding :S

how much do your babes sleep?

 

[OmiOmen]

I'm doing okay, thanks. I was feeling better but then the past day or two am feeling a bit achy but it is more the normal pains you get with a c-section when the nerves are coming back together. It is a week tomorrow that I will get the catheter out and then I will feel so much better.

One good thing about the UK is how easy it is to go on holiday. I'm not sure we will have a lot to spend next year though so it won't be too far out or involve any luxury hotels of anything.

Babyface, CJ sleeps a lot to be honest. I keep worrying he is sleeping too much because DS1 almost never slept and I wasn't expecting a newborn to sleep as much as he does. He tends to sleep for 3-4 hours and then wake up for a nappy change, a feed and a bit of cuddling and then he is back to sleep again.

 

[babyface15]

uh I'm so jealous omni. although you need and deserve a sleepy baby

calla generally won't sleep a whole lot in the day. usually around lunch she'll go down for a few hours, then mostly up until around 8. she'll go down after her ~8pm feeding and ~12am but usually is awake after the 4 am one. she's been crying a lot lately too. I have no idea what's wrong or what she needs

 

[passion4shoes]

Matilda is the same omi. Has a few wakeful periods in the day but mostly sleeps.

I am looking forward to her weigh in next week. She is def chunking out.

Who do your LOs look like? Everyone says my OH, but I don't see it.

 

[OmiOmen]

Well, he didn't sleep well at all last night. DH had to look after him for a bit in the morning, with me coming down half way through to feed him, so I could get a little sleep. I'm so tiered today and feel ill and probably need to see my GP but can't actually be bothered to get an appointment today.

I am not sure who CJ looks like. He has the same lips and DH and DS1 and like DH he has surprisingly short legs for a tall person but other than that he looks like himself really. DS1 looks just like DH with my ears and toes so I thought CJ might have looked more like DH too.

 

[babyface15]

everyone says she looks just like my husband! but maybe has my dads family nose lol

sorry you had a rough night omni

 

[passion4shoes]

Omi you are at the 3 week growth spurt and I am at the six week one.

Matilda is def becoming more aware of her surroundings and is fighting sleep. Makes it difficult to nap when she does as she won't bloody go over!

Lush smiles though!heres her first one. Only a little one.

[OmiOmen]

Aww, cute smiling!

I forgot about the 3 week growth spurt but he has gotten a lot bigger in the past 2 days. The cold everyone in the house but me has probably isn't helping.

 

[charbaby]

Hi ladies! seems like I have been away forever!
I stopped bleeding not last sat but the one before then started what I thought was my period last sat for it to then turn into stupidly heavy, changing pad every hour so thought I was best to go docs and get it checked out to find out that part of the placenta was left in which had caused an infection and made me bleed so much so now I am on 2 different antibiotics and a pill called noristerone to help stop the bleeding, it has calmed down loads now and kind of just like a heavy period thank god.

Marlee is doing great going 10 hours every night now 7.30-5.30. hard getting up so early every day but easier than doing night feeds. Have her injections booked in for next Thursday dreading taking her think I am going to wait outside while o/h takes her in on his own.

Hope you are all well

Pic of Marlee 7 weeks old today x

 

[passion4shoes]

10 hours??? Woweee! We are still 9pm, 2am, 6am. Not bad really. She doesn't settle until half ten though and I get to bed about midnight.

Good job you went to get checked out. That could have been nasty.

Char - did you notice a change in Marlee at six weeks? Matilda has been quite difficult today and I am putting it down to that.

Not really but I did have to put her bottles up to 6 onz. Thinking of changing her to hungrier baby milk in the next few weeks.

 

[Little Ducky]

Ten hours good god!! Alastair is still waking every 1 to 2 hours, and taking FOREVER to settle back down of a night time, I'm lucky if I get 3 hours all night at the moment.
Still he is only 2 and a half weeks though so fingers crossed the sleep improves soon.
Cute picture Char!

Edit - and yours passion
