Hey inoue!!!!

Scar is doing ok, i think the hole has closed again.

Poppy went back to normal last night, with a little more feeding- she was asleep by 9 (we both were!) and then she woke at 11 for a feed, then slept until 6.30.

Shes needing lots of rocking in her moses basket today, i have been sat down for 2 hrs doing it constantly, if i stop she wakes up! She is bunged up though so i'll let her off, and it means i get to sit down! x

 

[time]

Aww but 11 til 6.30 is still fab! Glad the scarves seems to be healing!

Lastnight was even worse than the night before..we didn't get chance to move the cot base up or put some lamp in her room lastnight so she stayed in our room in her carrycot, she woke at 11,1,3,5 and up at 7.30. All I can think is that she is having a growth spurt and/or hitting the 11/12 week wonder week. She isn't just waking to be naughty she drinks a whole bottle each time and then is straight back off to sleep.we thought it might be her being cold because she won't keeper blankets on solution her in a sleeping bag lastnight but evidently that isn't the problem!

We may try her in her cot tonight and see if that helps!

Scar not scarves haha stupid ipad!!!

Wow Ally, a 12hr sleep!? She must have been starving when she woke, and I bet your boobs were huge the longest Millie has gone down was around 6-7hrs I think and I was actually willing her to wake up just to feed I get anxious if she sleeps for too long, plus I don't want my AF coming back yet either!

Well Millie is officially in 3-6m clothes now, all of her 0-3 is packed up except some vests that still fit fine. Why must they grow up so quickly!?

Sorry you had a rough night time, hopefully that was just a growth spurt. I try not to get too comfortable with any kind of routine Millie puts herself in as I just know babies like to lure us into a false sense of security

 

[Scally]

Hey Lauryn!!!! I must admit i was begging for her to wake to help my boobs!

Awww bless her being in her 3-6 clothes now, i have started getting Poppy's out some of them look huge others look the same size as her 0-3 ones. They are growing so fast!

Hope you had a better night Time, does sound like a growth spurt!

Pops has now got Izzy's cold, i have been up since 3 with her, she is trying to sleep but is so bunged up, she keeps waking and crying- she slept on me upright which helped a bit. She was so full of it this morning but just keeps on smiling, bless her!

I am going to try and make an app with the nurse for the scar today, its looking a bit yellow again!

What makes your LO's laugh? Poppy is very ticklish, and laughs alot with me, but as soon as i try and show Dave she only looks slightly amused! I took her in to my old boss last week, and all he did was say hello and she was in hysterics! Everytime he spoke she laughed!!!!! She laughs sometimes when i do, or when i am singing to her (my voice is that bad!)

[Inoue]

Not good to hear about poppys cold, nice to know she can still smile for you though . Hope you get an appt to see someone about your scar, it was finally all clearing up, dont want to go back 2 steps! .

So cute about what makes our LO laugh. Reimi likes me singing or talking in a high tone, I usually say "where's mummy, where's mummy gone?" and she beeming and cooing away, lol. She's the same with me and Marc

Had/having an AWFUL night with her tonight. Reimi is constantly sucking/chewing her fingers and wont sleep! Been up literally every half hour to try and put in dummy when I prise her hand away. Its not hunger and cant just be 'exploration' as she's not benefiting anymore than I am with no sleep. Its gone from 7-8 hours a night to zero . Any ideas/suggestions?

Xx

Could be the start of teething inoue, or hunger or just a comfort thing. May have just been a bad night!!

Fingers crossed our terrible night was just a growth spurt as she has been back to her normal self ever since, only getting up once! Phew! As I'm working and don't do well with no sleep!

Wrens is a very happy baby and smiles at Anything haha but we haven't had a proper laugh yet, just sort of a breathing in laughing and cooing.. She also has a little fake cough going on haha!! Growing up so fast its scary!!
Wrens is starting to fill out her 0-3m clothes and I don't have many in 3-6, I went mad on the 6-9m dresses and rompers for summer! So some shopping may be in order!

Hope the scar is getting better ally you poor thing and the babies are feeling better.

 

[Scally]

The clothes sizes r so bizarre, Poppy is really filling out her 0-3's, and most r very short for her! Will be moving onto 3-6 shortly I think!
Inoue- Bless Reimi, could be teething, growth spurt, just one of those nights, they like to keep us on our toes! Hope she is better tonight!
Time- glad Wren is back to normal with her nights!
The scar is definitely infected again, I'm now on more antibiotics and have had a swab done. But on the positive note I already had a hole there for the yucky stuff to come out of as it hadn't healed fully so at least it doesn't have to try and get out of a big scar, plus so far only one hole has opened up, fingers cross, touch wood!

Hi guys! Sorry to hear about the bad sleeping, not cool babies!

Flynn is regularly doing 10-7, every night this week in fact! It also means that we have a morning routine in place which is helping. But next week I'm going to try tackling evenings as he's awake all evening and is exhausted and literally crying for sleep but fights it, his little eyes go all red poor bubba. Think the problem may be bathing him in his little bath in the kitchen and feeding him in the lounge, too much to look at. So from Monday I'm going up bath him in the big bath and feed him in our bedroom which he must recognise as bedtime as goes down no problem every evening ( he's still in his sleepyhead pillow in a travel cot so will probably stay in our room until 4 months now I think)

I really miss my evenings and lee and I don't seem to have any time together, I can't wait for him to be sleeping 7-7 with a dream feed, he's almost there, just needs the evening sleep! He is starving come morning though and feeds every 2 hours pretty much from 7 as making up for it!!

Are any of you in much of a routine yet? Xx

 

[Inoue]

Im now using baby teething gel just before bed and she slept for 7 hours! Yay! .

Good to see you have a routine in place pops . Reimi is bed at 10pm and awake at 5:45am, pretty much happens every night. Me and Marc were saying yesterday how little time we actually spend together now, no cuddles or snuggles when in bed, its a shame really . Guess we can take comfort in that were not alone.

Xx

 

[Scally]

Pops- yay for Flynn sleeping 10-7. Poppy goes to bed at 10 too, we have tried to make it before but it ended up with everyone stressed so we are going with the flow for now. She sleeps after about hr and a half to 2 hrs of awake time in the day but when it gets to the evening shes wide awake for hrs!!! She then sleeps until 6/7am which is perfect as we have to get going for pre school run mornings! I would love to get my evenings back.

Inoue- yay for the teething gel working!

Aww Flynn what a star!!!
I am feeling great as wren is sleeping SO much better. She is shattered by about 7 so we go upstairs with the lights off and no talking etc, feed her and by 8 she is flat out and the last few nights hasn't woken until 4 when she wants 100ml and then straight back off to sleep until 7/8. We don't do bath every night so I'm not really making that part of our routine yet, but she seems to be doing really well and I feel a lot better knowing vaguely when she is going to sleep/eat. She has a nap at About 9 then one at lunch time then one at around 4. Think this is because we go to work at 9 and leave at 4 and she loves the car and falls straight to sleep.

How is the diets and bottle feedings going? Also has anyone heard from sarah?!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Well done babies on all the sleeping! We aren't in a routine and I'm not planning on doing any just yet, I'm just completely following her lead. Luckily she seems pretty clued up but she'll sometimes go 5 hours at night without a feed but usually she will wake every 3-4hrs but she falls asleep on the boob and I'm able to put her straight back in her basket and then go back to sleep myself. I love not having to get up out of bed and an usually still asleep when feeding

Millie has rolled over 4 times today! I'm so amazed and happy Amber didn't roll (front to back) until she was around 4 months or so, so wasn't expecting it to happen this early. She absolutely hates tummy time though and I think she was just dying to get off of her front, but whatever the reason I am counting it as her first rolls!

 

[Scally]

Hey, how is everyone doing?

Yay for Millie rolling over! I keep trying to show Poppy how to do it but shes not taking any notice of me!!! lol

Izzy and Poppy are now germ free! woohoo!!!! Poppy had her second lot of jabs on Monday, she was so much better this time, i did something someone recommended on bnb and that was to move away from the area asap after the 2nd jab as they scream because they are expecting another jab. I did it with her and faced her outwards and she calmed as soon as i moved, might be worth a shot?

Scar is getting worse, now on 2 lots of antibiotics and bigger dressings, also not allowed to shower as frequently as i would like, but at least they havent stopped them altogether. I am refusing to rest this time, it doesnt hurt as much so i'm carrying on as normal- resting didnt really help last time!

[ttc_lolly]

Gosh Ally I can't believe you are still having issues with the scar I was scared of c-secs before but even more so now! I hope these antibiotics do the trick and it heals soon thanks for the tip with vaccinations. I may take Millie to get her first lot done next week so will try it out

Nothing new happening here! Millie was 12 weeks old yesterday and I can't believe it, where's the time going?! I have to go up to Notts on Friday for my uncle's funeral and Phil is staying home with the girls, it'll be his first time alone with them both and I'm scared for him I'm not looking forward to it as it'll be an upsetting day anyway and it's my first time apart from Millie but has to be done. I've for lots of milk pumped and stored but only going for the day so hopefully it'll all go smoothly x

 

[Scally]

Sorry to hear about your uncle Lauryn- i hope the funeral goes as well as can be expected, and the Phil has a lovely day with the girls! I dont know how Dave would cope with two! I bet u'll be texting him loads! At least its just for a day x

 

[Inoue]

Hay ladies . Sorry to hear about your uncle Lolly, never nice things to attend . Glad to her Millie is doing well, Reimi was 12 weeks on Wednesday, cant believe it sometimes!

Booo on your scar Scally, I've never heard such going on's with one surgical cut?! Did the surgeon mess up with stitches or something? . Glad poppy was better with jabs second time around, good to hear as Reimi's are next Tuesday.

Reimi is still gnawing the crap out of her fist/hand. She does it through the night which is annoying as she gets in a right grump when she cant console herself. Me and Marc had an ooopsy last weekend so praying my period starts very soon, can just see it now... Im blabbering that I only want one child and I end up with two in a year!

Xxx

 

[Scally]

uh-oh, ooopsy Inoue!!!

Poppy is constantly chewing her hands too! x

 

[kellie_w]

Also sorry to hear about your uncle Lauryn x

Inoue, whoops! Hope your period does come soon, how would you feel if you were pregnant again so soon!? The chewing is driving me mad too. He gets so frustrated, I'm looking forward to when he can hold something to his mouth to chew!

I just had a little read through the first pages of this thread. Im so pleasd we are all still coming here, though not as often as when we were pregnant! inoue, i just saw we were scan date buddies! It doesn't seem long ago since we were all waiting to find out the genders of our baby, now here we are ! Oliver is nearly four months old, I'm trying to decide whether to wean at 4 months like I did Luke, he was so much happier once he started eating. We are spending a small fortune on milk, ollie still only will take ready made, goes through 4 bottles in 3 days and at £3.29 a bottle...so need to get him on powder! Dreading tomorrow, next lot of injections. Hoping he doesn't react like last time!

Hi to everyone and your gorgeous babies xxx

 

[Inoue]

Lol. Yep, big oopsy! . I wouldnt feel to bad about it really, its our fault for not using protection so we will deal with whatever cards dealt .

The hand thing is also driving me up the wall!! . When I pull her hand away, she's fighting me to put it back again! I used to enjoy night times over the last few weeks but seems to be going down hill again because of this!

I will be starting to wean at 4 months, she's had quite a taste of our adult foods (soft cheese, cup of tea, porridge, gravy etc) so I cant wait to introduce her to her food groups rather a small dollop on her dummy

Thats mental that we were scan date buddies Kellie! . Its good to look back at old posts and reminisce
