March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

Seth- Carson is in a bassinet in our room still.. Until he starts sleeping better at night and resettling better after his night feeds he will be in our room. I still bring him to bed with me the odd time when he's having bad sleeps.. He also naps on our bed .. He's not good at settling in the living room unless he's being held so I've started taking him up to our bedroom when I see signs of tiredness.. Usually I sleep with him for the first nap.

Sethsmummy: Sophie comes to bed with me too - I have her downstairs in her bed (moses basket) and then transport it all up when I go to bed which is just before her last feed. I couldn't leave her alone at this stage either

Be back to catch up - Inlaws are here!

 

[Mrs. AJ]

With my first, I was planning (hoping) to have him in the bassinet until he was sleeping through -ha! he didnt sttn for the first time until 10 months, and has still never sttn more than 2 nights in a row. We moved him to his own room at 6 months anyway. hopefully we have better luck this time

Hey ladies il be popping in and way for abit. Paige aint taking to this harness to well hope she has a good night tonight. I thought i'd post you ladies little pik of her in it. I cant image it be comfortable at all xx

 

[Kte]

Cherry: Hope Paige doesn't have to be in the braces for too long. She seems quite chilled out in the picture bless her considering, they don't look so comfy!

I'm not brave, more insane I feel! Not even packed yet I'm hoping to be in bed soon - just need Sophie to settle, she is seemingly taking forever to take a bottle, she sips here and there and is wanting some bottles back to back again, I even woke her for one as she slept for so long I knew it wasn't good for her - she had started moving her mouth like she was eating in her sleep!

MrsC: I get you have to let your OH do things as well, but sometimes Mummy really does know best. Even though we worry and doubt ourselves sometimes! It could be a growth spurt or she is getting ready for one so trying to up your supply? Sometimes you just need to sit and cuddle them, as frustrating as it can feel sometimes - practice for the separation anxiety stage! Excellent on her smiles!!

I might be on tomorrow morning but if not . . . see you in a few days!!

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Aww, poor Paige, that doest look fun.

 

[rose.]

Poor Paige although she doesn't look too bothered!! Looks like she will need lots of cuddles.

Kte enjoy your trip! Hope it goes well and you don't forget anything!

I had a great day yesterday. Costa coffee with an old friend from school who has a baby a couple of weeks older than Alfie, then took Alfie to see my mum and dad which he loved - he doesn't often get a chance to see his grandad!! Then I had a couple of friends over for a takeaway in the evening. Alfie was very good despite a 10 minute crying session in the evening which I am sure is down to tiredness as he didn't want to eat, sleep, be changed or anything. My husband managed to calm him enogh for me to give him a feed and then we gave him a bath and another feed, he went to sleep around 10 on me, I put him in his crib at 11.15 without disturbing him and he slept until 2.45 which is the longest he's done in ages :woohoo:

 

[rose.]

10 until 6.30 with only one feed in between wahoo he is very wriggly and windy now but after a night like that I'm not complaining we're now having a lovely cuddle in bed. If he falls asleep I will be putting him in his crib and having some extra sleep! But I doubt that will happen. It's nice to have cuddles with a partially sleepy baby anyway!!

 

[MrsChezek]

Cherry - Poor Paige! Hope what they say is true and she won't remember any of it

Kte - have a safe and fun trip! Hopefully it is just prep for (yet another) growth spurt!

Rose - yay!

We're trying something a bit different tonight. Put her down at 8 and woke her when we were ready for bed at 10:45. Fed her and she slept until 3 again. Hopefully she'll go down for another 3 hours...FX!

Cherry _ Bless Paige hope she doesn't have them on for too long.

Kte - have a great time away hope all goes well.

Rose - what a lovely night you have had, lots of sleep! Horray!

Anna, lovely outfit!

 

[rose.]

Aw Anna that's a gorgeous outfit!

Mrs c how did it go?

Alfie went back down until just now yay!

 

[MrsChezek]

Epic fail She had a giant poop after we put her back down after the 3am feed. Once changed, she was wide awake and DH could not get her down so I fed her a second time. After which, she had all sorts of gas issues and yet another poo. Then she started crying again and would not soothe! When i took her from DH who was at his wits end she started rooting. So I fed her a third time and she finally fell asleep at 5am!!!! She's now up again for another feed. Seems that quantity of milk is irrelevant to when she wakes up next as she had 3 feeds and got up 2.5 hours later anyway! I'm not sure we'll ever figure out this lil monkey

 

[Cherrybump]

Thanks ladies, i just took the picture as fast as i could lol she gets fussy alot lucky the moment she was just changed lol xxx

 

[Lou1234]

Hi ladies. Hope everyone is well.

Elizabeth is 8 weeks old today. We got her weighed on Tues and she is 10lb 6oz.

I returned to Weight Watchers just over a week ago as I put on a fair amount of weight during my pregnancy. I managed a visit to the gym a week ago but haven't managed to go again! My week is made up of different baby groups or going for walks. Love being out walking.

I picked up a hat this week for the summer. Bit big at the moment though!

 

[MrsChezek]

Such a cutie Lou!!! My weeks are pretty much the same! Different mommy groups each day. I can't get to the gym either Can't wait til she's a bit older so I can leave her at the daycare they have at the gym!

Is anyone else's LO drooling already? I'm worried H is going to be teething early!

 

[Mrs. AJ]

With Connor he stated hand chewing and drooling at two months and I was convinced he'd be an early teether - but then he didnt get his first tooth until after 7 months!

 

[MrsChezek]

Oh thank goodness!! That's such a relief to hear Mrs AJ She's doing both since about 7 weeks old...

 

[rose.]

Yeah Alfie drools too its gross! I think it's because he is always chewing!! And also it seems to have been worse while he's had a bit of a cold - he is definitely drooling less now its gone away.

Lou, gorgeous picture - I love Elizabeth's hat!!

Mrs C sorry you had another rough night. Hope it works better tonight and you get a bit more sleep

We had our friends over tonight for dinner. My friend is a hairdresser so she cut OHs hair and then was planning on cutting and highlighting mine. She got as far as doing the highlights and Alfie was inconsolable, bless him. He was tired and irritable anyway and not being able to suckle made it so much worse - by the time I got to him he was crying so much he didn't want to suck anymore! Eventually with a bit of singing and cuddling he did take a few sucks to calm him down and then we bathed him. I had to quickly wash the colour out and then run back down to feed him! I had to abandon the cut as I thought it might mess up his evening routine completely! So not quite the relaxing pampering I had in mind but at least my roots are sorted now!!!

 

[MrsChezek]

I'm so jealous rose!!! I have awful roots and on top of that many gray patches I wish there was an in home hair service that I could book!!! As the time to drive to a salon, get my hair done and drive back would be just too long. I might approach DH about it some time...maybe if my mom can come help him as it would have to be during the day when he needs to get work done. Cannot wait! That and a pedi...my nails are awful!

So Hayden seems to be smiling and laughing in response to my making faces or chatting to her in an animated voice pretty reliably now It's awesome when she's in a good mood and I can get a bunch of smiles and laughs out of her! Definitely puts me in a better mood even if she had been awful just prior.
