Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[pops23]

Yay our babies are 8 weeks! Flynn has his jabs today, hoping he handles it well

Ally we had the exact same last night! For the past week we've been doing bath at 6.30 then boob and down at 7, with us on the sofa, but the cat keeps trying to jump on him! After a successful in the nursery day time nap yesterday we put him down in the nursery at 7, he woke at 7.45 and screamed for 2 1/2 hours, he was still hungry as had fallen asleep on the boob but was in such a state he wouldn't go on! In the end gave him a 6oz bottle of formula and he eventually calmed and fell asleep at 10.30 and went to 4.30! But we had no evening and barely had time to eat, very frustrating as he seems to be screaming for no reason

Good to know your going through the same Aly, makes me less worried, wonder if it was waking up in the nursery that did it? Maybe he freaked out but was fine in the day, or he just fancied having a whinge? Xx

 

[pops23]

Ps we have still not DTD, planned to yesterday evening while he was asleep but obviously never happened! Dx

Wow well done on the weight gains! I've found out where our local walk in centre is and I'm going there tomorrow to get wren weighed as it's been 3 weeks now and I've heard nothing from drs or hv. I just hope this appt comes through soon for the cardiologist so I can relax.

Great that the colief has done the trick lauryn bet you are all much happier for it.
Don't know what to suggest about getting babies to bed earlier, Wrens the same some nights but then sleeps a long time so I'm not too fussed either way yet haha!

We were considering booking a holiday for this year but just can't decide! How does it work on planes with formula etc? What can you take on?

 

[time]

It may be that he woke up in a different place pops but not sure! Guess some evenings are just bad as we often have trouble around teatime and I end up missing meals!! X

Reimi- oooooh Weymouth i love it there, it will be lovely in the caravan, hotels are great but too much to worry about with a baby making too much noise, sterilising etc!

Lauryn- yay how exciting your holiday, that'll be lovely! My scar is lots better thank you, i have managed to get Izzy to pre-school this week, so feeling less painful. I have got the nurse later for re-dress and to check it so hopefully will be good news!

Pops- good luck with Flynns jabs, we have Izzys today! aggghhhh!

I think i am going to go with the flow now with Poppys sleep, it just stresses us all out, so will go with it, if she wants to stay downstairs so be it, i am sure she'll want to go down earlier eventually!

Forgot to say thats great about the colief helping Millie, we used that for Izzy and it was great!

Pops- we still havent done the deed yet!

Time- how did u get on with weighing Wren?

Pops, good luck with Flynn's jabs hope he doesn't cry or suffer with them too much.

Ally, glad the scar is doing well and that you're getting out and about. Sorry the group you tried last was a bit cliquey, I hate that with Amber I first met a few other new mums through Netmums and we would try out the groups together, so we wouldn't get left out or not have anyone to talk to! Maybe see if there's anyone on there who's looking to venture to groups with like minded people?

Time, our first holiday with Amber we took plenty of ready made milk as the shops didn't stock the brand we used and even if they had of done it would've cost a fortune as the formula there was so expensive. There's no limit to how much you can take on as hand luggage, but it needs to be in bottles or see through containers and you have to taste test each one disgusting because formula tastes so bad! You can get travel sterilising kits too, think I got a pack from Boots. They are just bags with cold water solution tablets already in and you just pop the bottles and teats in, fill with cold water and then leave for x amount of hours

 

[time]

It's tomorrow the walk in centre so will let you know how I get on! She is a chunky little thing now though so I'm sure she's put a lot on!

 

[time]

Oh thanks lauryn! So say we went on a 3 hour flight could we just take on 2 bottles already made up and in cool bags? Or could we take on ready made cartons and sterile bottles?

 

[Scally]

When we went on our flight when Izzy was little- we got a ready made carton in Boots after the security gates, we also had a bottle made up which we had to try. Warning for you we used Dr Brown bottles and the pressure up in the aeroplane made it leak everywhere! So it may be worth u doing ready made cartons and sterilised bottles.

Izzy was so good for her jabs, bless her, a little ow and teared up after each one, but recovered quickly with some smarties! The nurse said that the chocolate after really helps as it raises their sugar levels and that helps with the pain. Izzy just loved the treat!
I went with the flow with Poppy last night and it was so less stressful, she went down about 10.30, but fed in bed with me from 9.30. We tried to give her a bottle last night, and she is still refusing to take one! I have a hen party and child free wedding to go to in March, i do hope she takes one before then!

You could do either time, but you still have to taste test so they'll open the cartons and you have to taste it then pour it into the bottles. The ready made stuff tastes slightly better than the powder formula FYI

Glad Poppy's jabs went well Ally keep persevering with a bottle, it took Millie a while before she got the hang of drinking from one. She's still a little slow on it actually but she's at least now getting the milk from the teat and not just licking it like she was before

 

[Scally]

Thanks Lauryn!
Also forgot to say my dressing is off! Woohoo! X

 

[ttc_lolly]

Yaaaay!

 

[Inoue]

Yay for you Scally!! Jabs done AND dressing off!

Reimi went down about 10:15pm last night and slept till 4am, she's managed 5-6 hours every night this week, may long it continue! I have her jabs tomorrow and im going on my own, do they put the jabs in there thigh or arms? Im really not looking forward to it

X

 

[Scally]

Yay for longer sleeps, well done Reimi.
They do them in their thighs, so something loose is good, and they tend to have sore thighs for a little while, good luck xx

 

[Inoue]

No jabs for Reimi today as the nurse is sick, lol. Lucky escape for now!

Trying to get as much housework done as poss today, never seen my house so cluttered before - hate it! Tried phoning Haven up aswel ~(booked hol with them) but they wont speak to me as im not the 'lead' name, regardless im the dam wife! So miffed, all i want to do is change the caravan from a 3 bed to a 2 bed, hardly making some high profile requests. Also my morgage company wont take over payments from me as they need Marc to phone up AND write to them before i can pay with his card. I can understand they need to becareful with spitefull wives taking there hubby to the cleaners but its just annoying as that huge debt is also my own and i sort all the finiances out, not Marc.

Rant over, i need to practice a male voice.... xxx

Hi girls! Sorry I havent posted for awhile. Lots of posts to catch up on! Its very exciting reading about all your holidays, lauryn you are very brave to be going abroad! Least you wont end up at jaywick this year! Its uk for us again this year, theres no way I could do a plane with luke. Also good to hear all your babies weight gains, I still have to go to clinic, dreading it as its also very clicky and there are a lot of very unpleasent girls there with their equally unpleasent children. Am I the only one that after jabs had a baby with side effects? Oliver had a temperature, cried loads and one leg wouldnt move proparly until the next day. Our 12 week ones are the 6th, not looking forward to that again.

Oliver is 11 weeks today, and after 8 weeks of nearly all day crying I am starting to look more into it. Nothing is working, not infacol, colief, gaviscon... its hard hard work. Nothing I do makes him happy, maybe about 15 mins of the day whilst awake is he calm. He fusses and fights his bottles (went up a teat size, helped for a couple of feeds) farts all the time, has mucous poo for 6 weeks, his eczema isnt getting any better and the crying. Arggggg! So after a phone call the the doctor he thinksits lactose intolerance and we are being seen tomorrow. I so hope this is the answer, I don't want to watch him in pain anymore x

 

[ttc_lolly]

I was going to say maybe it's the formula and lactose intolerance related so sorry hun, it sounds like so much hard work. He has eczema too? Poor little boy happy 11 weeks to Oliver though, he's such a little cutie and looks so much like Luke

I'm thinking of going up to Notts to visit family this weekend, I'm just trying to decide whether I can be arsed with the long drive (haven't driven for more than 30mins with Millie so far) and whether or not to stay with family or get a hotel for me and the girls. OH is working tomorrow and then he's having a night out so thought I'd go visit everyone.

 

[Scally]

I hope the appointment went well Kellie, and that the doc will help Ollie, poor little man! We have our 12 week ones on the 11th, so horrible! Hope Ollie doesnt react this time.

Lauryn- a visit to your family sounds like a lovely idea! How long is the drive for you? I would say stay with family if they have the room that way they can help you out! x

 

[Scally]

Lauryn- how did your visit go? Did u stay with them or in a hotel?

hows everything going with everyone else?
