End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

Thanks. I am hoping a BBQ and then a picnic in the local park the next day will ease me back into 'normal' life once the catheter is out and then we'll go to soft play early next week. With any luck the pool in the park will be repaired but I think they are doing it later in the month. Poor JJ has had a boring couple of weeks with me.

Can't believe this time 8 weeks ago I was in early labour! It has gone so quick

 

[Zfbaby]

Super cute pic char!

Excellent news omni glad things are looking up for you.

You ladies seem to be getting a good fit around the tummy with you nappies.mine are so bulky at the front the don't sit flush to the skin. Is there anything I can do about that? Do I maybe need to use one size bigger to take the extra bulk from the insert being doubled over?

Pebbie- glad hold we're good. Sorry dh is being awkward but I have to agree I've enjoyed having the bed to myself every now and again.

So interesting story. I got kicked out of breastfeeding group today. I was told a few weeks back that even if I swapped to bottles they would "be there to support me" so I rocked up this morning only to be told I couldn't gone anymore as I wasn't bfing. Trying to be polite the woman said I could stay if I REALLY wanted but not to feed baby whilst the other ladies were there. So I fed him in front if everyone and then left. It's not like I had a choice in feeding him myself and I only go as I like quite a few ladies there and it's the one time of the week I get to drink a hot coffee and chat to people and get tips etc. bit annoying but hey hi. It was more funny than anything.

 

[Little Ducky]

I'm glad you had a good holiday.

Yes, I have the hospital tomorrow! I found out I'm graduating with a first the other day too so it is turning into a good week. I am hoping the weather improves soon so we can have a BBQ and then a picnic over the weekend too.

Bloody hell congratulations!!!!! You must be thrilled!

 

[OmiOmen]

Cute photos char.

Aww, sorry zfbaby. Is there any other local parenting groups you can try now?

My nappies are newborn so less bulky than BTP. Not sure how to get a good fit with BTP yet.

Thanks, little ducky. I thought I had really messed up my last term so wouldn't get my predicted grade so am glad it worked out in the end although I think it was a close call.

woo way to go omni and how excting tomorrow is the day

Marlee is adorable char. how big is she now?

great that your vacation went well pebbie. sorry you're oh is being annoying. i don't know what is up with the men. a friend of mine told me she recently went out of town for 2 days and left her los with her husband. when she got back he was so frazzled he begged to go to the bar for a drink and she wouldn't let him bc she said she doesn't go to the bar every day after watching the kids Lol!! would love for my husband to get to experience that

zfbaby how rotten that they made you feel uncomfortable after saying you could return. what do they think seeing you ff will make every quit bfing??!

 

[Zfbaby]

Lol yeah probably everyone will instantly ban the boob. I'm not upset by it actually, it was kinda funny. There are some other groups I can try out so it's cool.
Managed to get Louis down for a nap and after 20 mins he started to cry so I went in and picked him up and he did the biggest burp ever and then projectiled in my face his reflux meds are obviously working today..not! daddy will be proud.

I am getting her weighed on Friday at the local baby club by my house so will let you know then but I am thinking over 12lb now. She was 11lb just before her 6 week check. I have her first lot of injections tomorrow not looking forward to that I am glad o/h is coming with me couldn't do it on my own :/ x

 

[babyface15]

ooh poor little muffin I'm not looking forward to that either.

I'm starting to think calla is going to be huge lol
she weighed at 11 lbs at 4.5 weeks. i thought that bf babies gained slower, but maybe it is the opposite??

 

[pebbie1]

I'm having Markus weighed on Tuesday. He's in 3 months clothes and as he's so tall they're starting to stretch! But he's proper porking out and starts to get chubby legs. Love it!!

I've started my diet today after indulging in France and I'm already craving chocolate! That's so crap lol!! I'm startig exercise tomorrow though. 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. My favourite

 

[OmiOmen]

I hate taking them for injections.

I think it is also genetic though. CJ was 11lbs 8oz at 3 weeks and 5 days and it just seems like he is tall and bulky like DH. I read that the first 6 months BF and FF babies should gain at the same sort of rate and after that FF gain faster.

 

[babyface15]

haha zfbaby i didn't see your post. little devil lol, at last he had a big burp though xx

pebbie, calla is starting to fit in her 3 month clothes as well. she's got chubby little legs. however she doesn't fit in size 1 diapers yet, they leak everywhere! she has a teeny little bum hehe

 

[babyface15]

woo omni, how big was he at birth again?

 

[pebbie1]

Awwww babyface. That's so cute. Marielle had a tiny bum as well and still has one. I bought her little jeans shorts last year for the holidays, size 1,5 - 2 years. They were quite big on her then and she wore them again this year and fitted perfectly, a year later!!!! Lol.

 

[babyface15]

haha that's so sweet! and good you got two summers out of them

 

[passion4shoes]

Ahhhh! Too much to catch up on!

Welcome home pebbie. Glad you had a good time. Men are useless! My OH is working way at the mo and I have to say I like it. I always enjoyed being a single mother and I can just get on with what needs to be done. I resent him more when he is here but not doing anything. Although last night he popped home and it was lush to be able to jump in the shower.

My eay fits leak too. I have set them aside. Someone said if they leak at the legs pull the rise up higher at the back. I am using little lamb bamboo mostly but loving the tb bamboozles more. The photos are cheap dudeybabas - brilliant nappies. Totally withheld a poop explosion.

Can't wait to see your photos of Louis zf. What a lovely day. Hopefully it will be like that everyday soon.

Char that is a gorgeous photo.

Do you get your LOs weighed every week?

Oh, and does anyone have a bathing and changing unit? I am thinking of buying one as my back is killing me from bending over the bath. Just not sure if it is worth it.

 

[pebbie1]

Passion, I'm going to visit my family in Holland at the end of the month with the kids. We planned a week, but I think I need 2 weeks as my mum will help me loads and I can proper relax and just not be annoyed with my oh!
When Marielle was little we bought the Cosatto baby changing unit with bath. It was great and still have it now.

My back has been hideous but ive been changing Louis at the kitchen table and i bath him there too. I can even sit down to change him
Last weigh in Louis was 12lb3oz I think and he is still wearing some newborn stuff. A lot of his 0-3 is still big on him. He's quite long but mainly in the upper body so trousers are long on him. He's got really chubby legs and thighs though
Aren't babies meant to go through a growth spurt around 6-7wks where they eat and sleep more? I'm still struggling to get Louis is eat much. Yesterday he had 4-5oz per feed but tonight it's a struggle to get him to eat 3 again!
We have him some fennel tea tonight, my hv is German and she suggested it to help his tummy. He was farting and burping loads!!

Just managed to get 2oz down Alastairs neck, then he point blank refused any more. Probably means he will wake again in an hour for the rest :/
Fennel tea? Worth a try then?

The midwife weighed her every time she came out to see me then when she signed me off the health visitor came and weighed her but the last time she weighed her just before the 6 week check she said it is my job to take her to get weighed now ,when I feel the need so I am taking her her tomorrow then I will take her every 4 weeks till she is around 6 months old.
