Zach loves bath time to, infact he was kicking his legs all over the place earlier on, got hubby soaked, think we might have to start bathing him in the bathroom rather than his room soon.

Yeah hes super laid back most of the time, has his moments but theres usually a reason hes grumpy. Ever since hes been smiling all the time its so much better once they start to give something back its brilliant isnt it.

Yes weve been to 2 baby massage sessions, he loves it, just lies there, like "oh ok mummy, if you insist, you can massage me for an hour, ill let you". Normally falls asleep straight after to it relaxs him so much. Have booked to do a second course in Janaury to. Were still swimming to although no lesson this week or next week due to refurbs at the health club (and the alternative pool was freeeeeezzzzing, so im gonna try and take him on my own next week.

Oh i weighed him today at my mums, and hes now 17lbs!!!! Im reallt worried hes getting too big. I looked at the growth chart and hes now on the 98th centile based on that weigh in today. Hes put on a lb a week since he was last weighed almost 5 weeks ago. He has 3 x 7 oz bottles a day and 2 x 8oz ones (bedtime and forst morning bottles), he doesnt always drain them. Worried im gonna get a telling off at clinic this week for over feeding him but he wants it! Hes a long baby and doesnt really look fat, just chubby like a bubba should be.

Also quite worried hes not gonna fit his christmas outfits now which are 3-6 months! Hes only been in 3-6 for a month! Hes costing me a fortune in clothes!

Aw bless him! Don't worry about his weight hun, all babies grow differently don't they? And if he wants the milk then I would do the same Hun. If he wants it give it to him I say.
Emilia's on the 75th percentile but was on the 50th at birth, so they all just grow differently and at their own rate. If he doesn't look bad for it then it's fine I say. People are always telling me Emilia is big but she weighs what she should for her length/height.

Aw but bless with the growing out of clothes! Emilia did that too at that age. I was convinced she'd be in 12-18 months by now but she's actually seemed to have stopped for a while. She's been in 6-9 month for at least 2 months now and there's still room in them. Zachs probably gained the weight quickly coz he's going through a growth spurt at the mo.

We are supposed to be taking Emilia swimming again soon but df's days off are crap again so it's making it hard! Don't want to go tomorrow when kids are off school coz it might be too busy.

I'm gonna get him weighed and see what the health visitor says. He doesn't look big to me.

We have family day tomorrow, no idea what were gonna do tho! Want to put the Xmas decs up but well see!

Aw I want a laid back baby that loves its sleep, what are my chances haha

I'm going to be asking you two questions all the time haha

Sath lovely to 'see' you, I hope you are ok and I bet you are excited about your holiday

Well we've had a very busy weekend, hubby felt a bit better so we ended up going away and we've spent today packing and moving the garden stuff, I'm knackered and ready for bed

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh I've jumped from a Mango to a banana??

 

[cupcake1981]

I think they've chanted the fruits! I was a melon at 20 weeks!

Haha he had like 4 20 min naps today I dunno what was going on, not nearly enough. Went to bed at 7 and we've not heard a peep!

Where did you and hubby go?

 

[MrsDuck]

I know, it's shows a melon after the mango but it's saying I'm a banana confused.com

I hope you get a good nights sleep cupcake

We went to France

I've just wrapped lots of Christmas prezzies and am pooped, think I'm going to bed xx

 

[cupcake1981]

That is weird I'm sure I was a banana later on.

I'm sorry I keep forgetting but is it your scan this week? Did you say 10th?

Night was ok but he's started waking twice in the second part of the night (the 11-7 stretch after night feed), this is a new thing that I'm not that keen on!

 

[MrsDuck]

Yeah scan was tomorrow but got changed to Wednesday

Aw I hope it was a one off and he has a good nights sleep tonight

 

[Espero]

Hi ladies,

Apologies for radio silence - been crazy busy.

Got my scan tomorrow! Don't want to go, totally bricking it and not sure I want to know. 4% curious 96% scared.

How is everyone doing? There's been hundreds of posts since I was last here, I'll have to pop back and read through.

Espero xx

 

[MrsDuck]

Hi espero I'm glad all is going well, I loved having all the extra scans, it made the time pass quicker too, I'm sure all will be fine tomorrow, I've got my gender scan Wednesday

It will take you ages to read back, I'm sure most of it was just our chatter chatter too

What time is your scan tomorrow?

 

[baileybubs]

Hi ladies,

Cupcake I hope it's just a phase and not the 4 month sleep regression hitting you early!

Mrs d I hope you didn't overdo it at the weekend hun! Remember you are preggers Hun lol!! Can't wait for your scan, 2 more sleeps!

Espero hi Hun, glad all is ok! Try not to worry I'm sure all is going well with this little sticky bean!!

 

[MrsDuck]

I think you need to be telling hubby that, according to him I'm more than capable of doing as much as I did before I was pregnant........I feel a rant in the pipeline before we actually move haha

 

[baileybubs]

He really thinks that? You are growing a human being inside your body! How does he not get that that is tiring and you need to take it easy lol!

Just give him the fact about pregnant women using more energy whilst sleeping than any other person does whilst awake, I keep throwing that one at df lol! Especially when he falls asleep on days he gets up with Emilia and complains he's tired! I get up with her 5 days a week, work 20 hours a week and am pregnant so what he's got to moan about I do not know lol!!

 

[baileybubs]

Errr is it normal that I can find baby's heartbeat in 2 different places, on to the left just above the pubic bone and one to the right? It's definately baby's heartbeat and not anything to do with me, sounds like a train in both positions. Hmmmm.

 

[MrsDuck]

Wow twins! I can't wait until you have your scan

I'll try that one bailey, I didn't get any let off when I had cancer so pregnancy hmmph no chance

 

[baileybubs]

I'd just go on strike if I were you mrs d lol!

Just tried again and deffo hearing it to the left and to the right but can't find it in the middle. But in both places it sounds pretty identical so probably just an echo, I know it's possible to hear the heartbeat in 2 places, just thought as it's supposed to be hard to find this early that I definately wouldn't be lucky enough to find it so easily in 2 locations!

 

[MrsDuck]

Haha I think we've done the worst of it now, thankfully

It defo sounds like twins to me

 

[Leinzlove]

Sounds like Twins to me also! YAY!

 

[cupcake1981]

Er hello! 2 hbs! Before scans were invented you'd have been told you were having twins!

How would you feel about twins!

Yey for scan tomo mrs d I can't wait to find out the sex, I dunno about you!

Espero make sure you update us after your scan later!

Had mr mcchunks weighed yesterday and he's 15 lb 15 so not as bad as I thought! Need to start on buying the 6-9 clothes tho!
