Sorry to hear about your grandma PM
Glad all your babies are doing well.

Frazer can sit for a few seconds unaided but still doesn't roll lol,he wriggles about though. He's about 18lb now and almost too long for 3-6 months clothing. Still a smiley boy.

Yeah I'm on the pill, my periods came back after just 7 weeks and I'm breastfeeding so was a little surprised but with endometriosis I wanted to stop them straight away and obviously being much more fertile I didn't want to take the risk. We don't want a big age gap and oh is going to be 34 this year so he doesn't want to wait much longer till were done having children, he says were stopping at 2, I'm undecided between 2 and 3, when I think about things logically 2 makes more sense but my heart says 3 lol. I see my brothers house and it's just chaos!! I don't think I could put up with that lol, it was manageable till they had thr third and now they've added a 4th I'm losing my mind by the end of the visit lol.

I gave sophie a beaker/sippy cup today (with nothing in it before the 6 month police pipe up) just to see if she wud no what to do with it, like with everything else (including her toes!) it went clumsily towards her mouth and she had a good suck but didn't figure to tip it up, guess she's neve had to do it before, but she got a good hold on the handles lol.
It still shocks me everytime I see her roll over (back to belly but not the other way) she's growing up too fast.

Wow ladies!! Look at all the beautiful babies!!!

So lovely to hear all the updates!

Mister Wyatt was last weighed 3 weeks ago and was 14lbs 9oz. Hates rollin . Hates tummy time and is 100% a mamas bo . 😂😂😂 I'm OK with it though!! I'm only 10 pounds away from prepreggo weight too. Not stressing though because I'm enjoying my baby time.

Decided to go back to school so another hurdle!! And gearing up to sell. I feel like since we got pregnant like has gone into hyperdrive!!

 

[sethsmummy]

So glad to hear everyone is doing well. Princess in so sorry for your loss

We are unfortunately in hospital again. Wee had a couple visits since e was discharged from yorkhill. He started with vomiting on Tuesday morning (I think it's Tuesday. All days merge into on lol) and his temp had been pretty uncontrollable from about lunch time each day. Took him to gp Thursday morning and told he was fine. Took him back in the afternoon when his temp spiked to 40.1 and was sent straight to a and e and admitted onto children's ward. Turns out he has a severe uti so is on I.v antibiotics and they have done a kidney scan but won't give me the results until yorkhill have called back with their plan of action. So it's something serious I think. Poor boy is going through it xx

 

[Izzie74]

Sorry to hear that Seths mummy. Keep us updated with progress.

 

[sethsmummy]

Thanks izZie I will. I'm demanding answers during the ward rounds xx

 

[sethsmummy]

He has a fluid filled cyst just below to tube that leads into the bladder which has caused the drainage tube from the kidney to the bladder to dilate. He also has an extra drainage tube on the same side. All in the left hand side xx

 

[wildchic]

Poor Rohan! Will they be able to help him Tara?

 

[Izzie74]

Not sure what all that means...what are they planning to do about it?

 

[wifey2013]

Hi ladies! I hope everyone is doing well. Lou will be 5 months old in 2 days! He loves his feet, rolling over in all directions, and tummy time the most. He's pretty obsessed with his elmo doll and stops whatever he's doing when I start singing him Elmo's Song. He doesn't care too much for his pacifier but he is in love with his thumb. He's sleeping now from 7-8pm until about 6 in the morning but then plays quietly in bed with his toes until we get him at 7. Bedtime has become more difficult as he throws little tantrums when we put him down. A couple good cuddles usually help.

On a side note, we starting him on solids yesterday. I know, I know, 6 month rule, but he shows all the signs that he is ready for solids. I thought he would spit everything out and it would been heck of a messy experience, but he loved the Organic Rice Cereal by Heinz and ate every drop. Nothing was spit out and he was grabbing the spoon and shoving it in his mouth himself. It was amazing to watch him. He actually cried when he was done because he wanted more, I had to give him the bottle. I really wonder what he'll do when we start him on real fruits and veggies in a month!

Question to you ladies, will you be making your own purees or buying the jarred stuff? Anybody planning on BLW?

 

[sethsmummy]

In doing all three wifey. Glad lou is doing well Rohan loves elmo too. He has an elmo teddy and sat watching elmos world on YouTube yesterday.

Basically the cyst is blockin the urine from leaving his left tube into his bladder. It can get through but not as easy as it should which is causing some backlog and then the bad uti.

We have to wait for the urologist from the children's hospital to call and say what they want to do. It could either be a wait and see or we could get sent straight up. Iv had two consultants opinions and one said an operation to drain the cyst and another said if it were him he would put in a stent to keep a pathway clear for the urine but it just depends what the guy at the big hospital wants to do. They'll also have to check his kidney function and make sure there's no damage to it from all of this. Xx

 

[Izzie74]

Poor lo. Thinking of you all.

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Oh Tara ur poor little boy, he's been through the mill s bit hasn't he, I hope they find a quick and simple solution for him.

I'm trying both puree and blw, when I want her to have a proper meal il give her my homemade purees and then in between feeds il give her one or two bits of blw foods like toast or carrot sticks etc then that way if the finger foods get wasted it doesn't matter because I no she's eating. Iv got a date to start her on purees because she turns 6 months while we're at the seaside on holiday so don't want the hassle of starting solids then so giving her a week n half or so before we go then will try some finger foods while we're away once she's turned 6 months.

She's being a right monkey at night, I used to have such s good sleeper, she'd go from 7:30 to between 3:30 and 5:30 them bk to 3 hourly, then she started rolling so I had to stop swaddling her and since then iv had a nightmare and most nights now just to get sleep I attach her to my boob and fall bk to sleep and wake up a couple of hours later.
She's getting really fussy too, gets all moaney over nothing, she'll cry because she's hungry then she'll be on for a few minutes then start getting fussy and pulling off crying and going back on then when I take her off cos she's messing she cries more. Iv been half wondering whether she's been teething for a while now, maybe she is but it's taking a while for it to come through, would explain the sleeping problems and fussy feeding and general moaniness, if it is her teeth I wish they would hurry up so I can go back to being grateful for having a good sleeper lol

 

[sethsmummy]

Oh yeah Hun she probably is. Teething can start from a couple months way before the teeth appear. Poor you and poor bubba.

I like your plan of doing it Hun. I was thinking purree breakfast and then blw tea. I hope she starts sleeping through again for you soon Hun.

He sure has. More than any adult should have to cope with poor boy never kind a baby. But hopefully once this is sorted that should be it. In a bit mad because it was markersd during pregnancy if you can remember me saying about them thinking he only had one kidney. Then specialist scan said it was slightly dilated but it would resolve itself and cause no problems. Would love to slap him xx

 

[itsnowmyturn]

They should have checked after he was born to make sure, that poor fella.
I'm pretty sure it's teeth (well part of the problem) she does like to have a good munch on my hands, tried her with a teething ring but I don't think she liked the texture on her gums. I think another problem is the lighter mornings, this morning at half 5 she laid there chatting to herself lol as cute as it is half 5 is not the time for it. She went bk ti sleep half hour later but not without a battle.
Iv also noticed she's playing with her ears a bit, isnt that a teething sign? I wouldn't say she's got an ear infection cos she's just not grumpy enough for that thank god.

I don't intend on buying any jars, u only need purees to get them used to the sensation of eating and swallowing then you can make things a bit more lumpy n within a couple of months they can have most things as long as they are cut up right or soft enough. My brother gives his daughter jars n I swear they all look and smell the same.

My baby is now getting too big for her 0-3 clothes, it makes me sad when an item of clothing I love on her doesn't fit her anymore, I didn't think I'd be on of them mums that held onto everything but I think i will be lol. Toys I'm not bothered about and some clothes I don't care about but the cute ones I do.

I put sophie in her big cot yesterday to start a slow and steady transition into her own room but I don't think that can happen yet, I put her feet at the bottom, head towards the top and on her back and went for a shower, when I came out she was crying so went to check and she was half way up, feet facing the top, head facing the bottom, on her tummy and her arm stuck thru the bar and she couldn't get back up so was effectively stuck. All she wud have had to do was twist while she was like that and she could have broken her arm (she really is that strong!!) so she can lay in there while I'm around but not if there's no one close by

oh i hate when that happens!

oh no inmt! that must have been a bit scarey! Rohan gets his arms through his bars but he can get them back out again. but then again hes not rolling onto his tummy yet. I was going to stick with Puree but rohan keeps crying when were eating as he wants some so im going to go straight for BLW i think. hes not had much purree as i stopped whenever he was ill so not much chance for much
getting the ears is definitely a teething thing although it can be an ear infection too so perhaps worth getting checked?

Were up at the childrens hospital on Wednesday to see what they say. no letter through yet though! i hope it comes this morning or monday morning or im going to have to call and sounds like an idiot as i try find out what time it is at xx

 

[hopeful2012]

Hey Ladies! It's been awhile. I ha to go back to the doctor today due to not be on able to cope anymore. I'm so overwhelmed and felt like my girls would be better off without me. They changed my meds (added wellbutrin to my celexa), made reference counseling, did a thyroid test, and said if this doesn't help they will refer me to inpatient psych
