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

[time]

Sorry to hear about your mum pops, hope you are feeling better and don't worry about dieting just stay healthy and don't feel bad about having to cut down on the breastfeeding, as long as little Flynn is happy!

Fingers crossed you get a scan date soon Kellie, cannot believe the way you have been treated! Poor little ollie

How's the scar doing ally? So awful still having trouble months down the line! You poor thing!

I will probably start wren weaning at about 4 1/2 months,she is very very greedy and already showing signs of wanting more..i feel she will be a lot happier once she can have some purees.
She has been sleeping Sooo much better this last week, going to bed at 8 getting up at 4 for a feed then straight back to sleep until 8.. So happy with her!

We are staying at the in laws at the mo as the bathroom is getting fitted so no loo or bath! Will hopefully be back home tomorrow!

PS my first period was pretty heavy inoue but not that bad! Definitely keep an eye on it!!
Jeez that is a cheap shop! I can easily spend £100 a week just on me and rob without milk and nappies!!we don't really go out/drink/smoke and we love our food so go a bit mad haha!!!

 

[Inoue]

£100 a week!! . I feel sooooo much better now! .

Wren is such a little cutie, definitely got your look in her. Thats good that she sleeps at 8pm, Reimi still up till about 11pm, any tips on trying to reduce that? . I think alot will change when they start taking small amount of foods, but I would like her to go down at a better time than 11pm.

Hope you get your bathroom sorted, good job in-laws are to hand, although nothing is quite like your own home

Xx

hey pops! thats fantastic about her sleep! hope your bathroom gets done quickly!
£100 a week! wow thats a great shop!

Poppy won't go down before 10, i would like earlier as would love an evening with dave.

just been the nurse, it doesnt look infected anymore so dont need anymore antibiotics so thats good, still have two holes though. she said if they close during the week theres no need to go back. i have been there so much for re-dressing the receptionist just gave me my number when i went in, no need to tell her my name!

Wow how do you both get your shopping so cheap!? We easily spend around £80-£120 a week on food, and will need little top ups here and there. Mental!

For those of you choosing to wean early, what are your reasons? Are you just going old school or it's just what you fancy doing?

 

[time]

We decided not to do a routine so young and she has just slipped into her own one,I think most babes do the same eventually! Once you start weaning a bit of porridge before bed apparently helps them sleep better as they are nice and full for bed!

Glad it's not just me spending far too much on food lauryn haha!
I am only going to start weaning when wren is showing signs ofbeing ready, however she is very greedy so I am only assuming it will be before 6 months. Also my sil did the start weaning her daughter til about 9 months and now at 15 months she is absolutely terrible with food..maybe not related but they were very lazy with weaning.

Glad you're finished with the antibiotics ally and hopefully the holes will close this week!!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Yeh I'm all about looking for the signs that Millie will be ready but at the same time I know I won't be able to tell if her gut is ready for food and so don't want to cause her any damage by feeding her food prematurely (hence the WHO 6 month guidelines). We mostly did baby led weaning with Amber and so didn't do much puréed food at all really, she fed herself finger foods from around 5-6months and I'm going to go the same route again.

Ally, glad your scar isn't infected I hope the holes heal up soon. Are they deep wounds?

 

[Inoue]

Im also looking for signs for weaning, I dare say it will be between 4-5 months as she is quite a gutz but all will tell in 4-5 weeks time. Reimi managed to go down at 10pm last night so thats an hours improvement!

Just been to medical center for Reimi's second jabs, poor little love, hate to see her so upset . She's snuggled up in her rocker fast asleep, expect her to sleep most of the day as thats what she did last time xx

 

[Scally]

Time- i do hope Poppy slips into a evening routine- i cannot believe how awake she is until 10!

Hey Lauryn- they arent as deep this time, and they are getting shallower so thats good, fingers crossed this week they will close!

Inoue- yay for Reimi's earlier bedtime!!!!! Poor little mite with her jabs, how is she doing?

x

 

[ttc_lolly]

That's good news Ally FX'd you're on the mend now!

Hope Reimi's doing okay after her jabs today? Millie had her first lot at 3 and she was not happy, bless her! She fell straight asleep in her carseat afterwards and napped for around 3hrs and is now having a mammoth feeding sesh. FX'd she doesn't get a temp or anything later.

 

[Scally]

hope Millie is ok with hers, fingers crossed no temp etc x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Ta Ally she was fine afterwards and last night and this morning have all been good. She's 3 months old today, can't believe it! Our babies are a quarter of the way through their first year already *sob*!

 

[Scally]

Happy 3 months Millie! X

 

[Inoue]

Reimi had abit of a nap then was playing like mental on her playmat - very different compared to last time! . Glad you got Millie's jabs done Lolly, I think its more traumatic for us parents! Lol.

Greedy Reimi had 300ml of milk last night before bed and slept for 10 hours

Xx

 

[Scally]

Glad Reimi was good after her jabs too. Woohoooo for 10 hrs sleep! That's great! 300ml- that's impressive! X

 

[Inoue]

Our bottles only go up to 260ml so had to quickly make some more while Marc kept her entertained, shes a little piggy wink xx

 

[pops23]

Flynns three months today too! He had his jabs today and was fine! Quick feed, quick nap and happy as Larry until bedtime bless him

He has now been going to bed at 7.30 for 10 nights but waking at 3 or 4 for a feed, not te coolest when he was sleeping 10-7 but very glad to have our evenings back

That's impressive feeding reimi! Flynn was so tired tonight he only managed 4 1/2oz! Xx

 

[Scally]

how did u do it pops? poppy is still going to bed at 10, i would love to have an evening- she spends the whole time nursing! x

 

[Scally]

Ooooh sorry forgot to say Happy 3 months Flynn!!!!!!!

I hope everyone has had a good week! ITS FRIDAY!!!!! Woohoo so love the weekends!!!!

Met up with Kellie, and the gorgeous Luke and Ollie this week, was great to catch up and see how much Ollie had grown! (also nice to chill at the house rather than the garden centre!) Thank you Kellie for coming over!

Poppy is extremely niggly at the moment, naps have gone to pot, and she woke 3 times last night!!!! could this be the start of the dreaded 4 month sleep regression???!!!

Hows everyone doing? I love seeing the photos on facebook!

Hay hay hay!!

Yipee for the weekend! About bloody time in my opinion . Had traumatic day yesterday as we went to see neurologist for Marc (re his night fits) and dr basically said "No driving or driving your forklift till Oct"..... No mri scan, no other checks, just told him what ive seen twice (over 2 years!) and he's classed him as epileptic . Basically, no can do! We have a £155,000+ mortgage and shit loads of bills to pay, if he doesnt work, we lose our house, period. Untill he actually HAS some tests then they can swivel.

Hope poppy isnt having a 4 month monk on! Have you tried putting lullabies on when shes abit grumpy during the night? Reimi usually nods off about 10 mins later
