[kellie_w]

I dont know ally, I really dont. Ollie was because he had diarrhoea, had to be changed and he had knocked his musical ceiling light on. He went down again about 2.45, just was going to sleep and luke got up again 3.15. Spent over a hour in bed with him being kicked, just fell asleep and oliver started crying, 5am. He was soaked through as I hadnt done his nappy tight enough. Stripped him, fed him, wouldn't settle so put him on me to stop him crying. Couldnt sleep by now, wes got up at 6 for work, went out the door and then luke up again. Im dreading tonight, is there a toddlwr phase were they start night waking again? Im thinking maybe his ear but he isnt crying just rubbing it, maybe he needs a night light? I just dont know. Can you suggest anything? Did izzy go through thiss at this age?

Ohhh oliver is 3 months today I can get my snug for him now! X

Not another awake night Kellie!! You poor thing! . Can you try and get some shut eye during the day? Reimi is doing another 10 hour sleep, shes sprawled out in her cot fast asleep - god knows whats gotten into her?! , guess I shouldn't complain, lol.

Go Lolly rocking that pole! You will be sore for a few days but then it should settle, just in time for your next lesson!

Cant believe it was a year ago since conception . I remember keeping it secret from Marc till our wedding anniversary (19th March), cant count how many times he held my hair when I was throwing up in the morning and I was blagging it saying I had a sickness bug

Xx

Happy 3 months Oliver! That's crazy a whole year has passed for you already. Mine will be on 22nd March... This year is going by so quickly, I imagine that'll come around in no time.

Kellie you poor thing I really hope there isn't a stage of night awakenings for toddlers Luke & Amber's age. No idea what to suggest hun, I'm just sorry and hope the boys have a nap together today so you can get your head down for a little bit.

Millie has slept through for a few nights now, last nights being the longest - 11pm til 7.30am she was so hungry she has just drained one boob and is now tackling the 2nd she's still asleep too so going to try put her back in her basket and catch a little more sleep whilst Amber's still in bed. I doubt this is the start of something good as we all know how babies like to tease us but I just say, these few nights of full sleep have been like heaven!

As predicted, I am very sore today! My legs also have pretty good sized bruises on them from bashing into the pole

 

[Scally]

Izzy did have a phase of night wakenings, it was when i was pregnant so Dave dealt with it, so i supposed that is about the age Luke is now! Didnt even think of that before! I cant remember how long it lasted, i think i was in the 1st trimester as was shattered, and when it came to the 2nd trimester she wasnt doing it anymore as i said i would take over with them! lol. Might be worth checking with the doc if he is tugging his ear, is he still on the antibiotics? I think u need to go for an app straight after them to check its definitely gone! Izzy has a nightlight, might be worth a shot with Luke too, we also put a bottle of water for her next to her bed as that was another excuse she used to get up!
I so want to get a snug for Pops, but they are so expensive and arent selling much cheaper 2nd hand! happy 3 months Oliie!

Inoue- awww bless you trying to pass it off as a tummy bug! We tested on my birthday last year! It was weird as i had a slight period the week before but just had a feeling i was pregnant! yay for Reimi's epic sleep!

Lauryn- Yay for Millie's sleep! Ouch for your bruises!
When Poppy wakes in the morning i have discovered she can only do one boob as they are so full! She will take two but will promptly bring it all back up again!!!!

Flynns just done the same, slept 11-7.20, drained one boob and can't handle the other, he's fallen asleep just trying it again! Ha!

Sorry I've been MIA ladies, life has been hectic with work and baby, and it was my 30th on Sunday so we've been away for a few days to bath, was lovely

While we were away I had a spa treatment and weighed myself, bad times, I'm 2 1/2 stone heavier than pre-pregnancy, not cool! Monday on going on a diet now that bday celebrations are over, but guessing need to be pretty careful as breast feeding still? Doing a hardcore buggy fit class on a Friday morning too which I'm hoping will help, I hate feeling this big!

Kellie sorry you had a sucky night, lauryn/inoue/ ally sounds like your babies are behaving nicely! Xxx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Awww glad you had a lovely break in Bath pops! Happy birthday for last Sunday! You can diet whilst bf'ing hun, just make sure you're taking in plenty of calcium and obviously don't drop your calorie intake too low

Glad to hear Flynn had a good night too!

 

[pops23]

Thanks for the advice, are you dieting and if so what are you doing? Xx

 

[Scally]

Pops- very jealous I love Bath, used to live nr there and absolutely loved it! I am healthy eating whilst bf, I never have less than 1800 calories, I eat often and drink lots of water x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Pops, I joined slimming world and am loving it! I'm 9lbs down so far, and I never feel like I'm missing out as the plan is brilliant, there's no counting points or calories and hardly any measuring. I attend a weekly group as I feel more motivated with the consultant weighing me and the groups support etc, but you could do it alone via the web.

Are you back doing your dancing/cheering? I bet that burns a lot of calories doesn't it?

 

[pops23]

I'm back coaching but pretty much do it stationary nowadays so don't burn calories there, am doing buggyfit once a week which is pretty hardcore!

Slimming world is a good idea, do you take the girls when you go? Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

I've had to take them a couple of times when OH has been working late but usually I'll leave them at home with him and pump a bottle. Group only lasts 1-2hrs, depending on the size of the group x

 

[Scally]

Hey everyone, hows your weekends been?

We have a poorly Izzy here, I'm really hoping it doesnt pass onto Poppy, but she has started coughing now too, boo!
A hole in my scar has opened up a bit again, boo again! Hope its just a superficial one and not too deep and start everything off again, have put a dressing on it, will see how it is tomorrow to whether i go to docs.

Other than that we have had a good weekend, got to see my step sisters week old baby, makes Poppy look like a giant! I always thought of her as a little baby but she really wasnt next to Amelia!

[pops23]

Hope your scar is ok ally!

I've had a shocker of a day with Flynn, he's been crying all day! Almost lost the will to live a bit! Xz

 

[Scally]

oh no pops i wonder why? he is usually such a happy chap! x

 

[Inoue]

Hope he's calmed down abit pops! Must be awful

Very boo to hear about the colds and scar Scally!! . Just when you thought it was going so well! Lol. Really hope it settles soon and poppy doesn't get hit by the cold hard.

Had quite a nice weekend, marc was was work so didnt get to do much, bit of housework and chilling out generally . Reimi still being good girl and sleeping 6h plus. Im managing 35-50 mins on the treadmill now so fitness pretty much back to what it was, im starting to 'see' the results now so more incentive to keep going

Xx

 

[Scally]

Pops- how was Flynn overnight?

Inoue- thats great, well done! Its nice to see the results, its a bit more motivating then!

Izzy's temperature was a bit better overnight- 38 instead of 39 so thats good. Kept reading online about how u should keep the older sibling away from the baby when they are ill, how???? Izzy is so attentive to her sister i cant tell her to keep away! lol

Poppy is now refusing a bottle again- i spoke to soon when she accepted it that once! She is certainly a stubborn monkey! I am going to keep trying with the dr browns, but might just get her a beaker and go straight to that with the milk. I seriously cannot get my head round how much our babies have grown! The time has flown by!

[Scally]

Poppy slept from 10 til 10! Madness! My boobs felt like they were going to explode! X

 

[time]

Omg ally 10 until 10?!? That is unbelievable! We are normally getting 6 hours, then 3 then 2. Think wren has just had a growth spurt as the last 2 nights she has been up every 3 hours for 150ml a time, when she normally has 100 and lasts 6 hours! We tried hungry baby milk lastnight but if anything it made her worse, and now she's constipated from it!!
Hoping her sleeping settles back down.. We are tempted to put her in her cot tonight to see if it's us waking her up, as my husband snores like mad and we fidget a lot! I'm just terrified to not have her next to me.. And it feels like she's growing up too fast

Glad you are well inoue, you said about stretchmarks, I didn't get one on my tummy but oddly got a couple on the backs of my legs. I used bio oil from 8 weeks pregnant and still do once a day but it hasn't helped. I also use Palmers cocoa butter but again no joy. I just hope they fade quickly. I hate them!!!

Sorry to hear about the scarves ally, hopefully it is nothing serious thus time! Keep a close eye on it and head to a and e if it gets any worse!!

 

[Scally]

A 12 hour sleep is definitely a new one for us too! I dont think that will happen again!
Oh no to Wrens sleep and constipation, she could be having a growth spurt? 11/12 week wonder week? I am sure her sleep will settle down again soon.
Have you decided whether u'll put her in her cot? If your hubby snores chances are he's waking her up! Either she moves or he does, lol!

x

 

[Inoue]

I brought a big tub of aptimil hungry milk powder and it also made Reimi a little constipated, if anyone wants it then I can send it through the post, hate throwing a tenners worth of milk out! . Back to the normal stuff for wren then?

How's your scar doing now Scally? Hope its eased. Brilliant news on the 12h sleep, max ive had is 10h. Anymore like that or is poppy back to a normal sleep pattern?

Xx
