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

[sportysgirl]

Must have been good sleep night or something!! Sportysgirl maybe it was a wind bubble! Hope she's ok now

Yes I think it was wind too, bless her. OH left about an hour ago for his 2 week course, hoping we will be ok. Have some family down the 2nd week so lets hope the 1st week flies by!
Hope everyone is ok.

Hope the weeks are enjoyable and go quickly sportysgirl

Its always funny how emotional you can get with things on TV and stuff after being pregnant.

What you all like being broody so soon! I'm sadly done I feel. I'm glad Sophie was a surprise as I hadn't forgotten with Chloe and so even though we wanted to TTC I was a bit scared so my decision was made for me! Sophie's birth went so much better, despite the hemorrhage afterwards but I think what with that and the complications with Chloe, I have pushed my luck enough. Plus the whole, lack of space and money

I could not afford another one!! I need to go back to work for a while first so I get maternity pay again. I suppose we would manage but it would mean serious penny pinching and I just can't resist the takeaways and all the cute baby clothes at the moment plus we need an extra bedroom before we have another and that means buying a new house lol! So lots to do before the next one.

And I want to enjoy Alfie first if I had another it would mean having to give someone else my main attention and I can't imagine that right now!

Oh definitely, I don't think I would ever have a smaller gap than around 3 years between children because I've found that you get to have some great quality time with them up until then and also they are a lot more independent by the time they reach that age. However as I said before I'm done too, it makes me a little sad to think there'll be no more little ones in the house, but we have well and truely run out of space and almost money with our 4 and I also feel like I've pushed my luck a bit with having the sutures in my cervix and with the other complications I had with Ruben and not least 4 kids keep me über busy

Emily rolled over today!!!! From front to back! She was on the couch so slope of cushion may have helped and it may have been a fluke but I am one proud Mama! We also went to the baby pool across the street for the first time and she seemed to really enjoy it! This so makes up for her fussy lack of nap day!

 

[skeet9924]

Oh Amy that's exciting!! Carson can roll on our bed when we are sitting beside him because it slopes a bit to help.. Lol on our chest he pushes up so well and looks around but when I put him anywhere else for tummy time he lays like a lump and sucks his hand lol

 

[rose.]

Baby maybe I bet they keep you busy!! I am busy enough with 1 ha ha I don't know how you do it!

Amy, well done Emily that is fantastic

Skeet, that made me laugh thinking of Carson laying like a lump on the floor!! Alfie can't keep his hands out of his mouth at the moment either he is constantly covered in drool! I hope he finds his thumb soon so it's not quite as messy!

Well, the 2.15am wake up call hurt this morning after the night before!! Still, one wake up before 6 isn't bad, and he self settled after his feed (and I hope is about to again now) so can't complain.

 

[Amy_T]

Wow get all the sleeping babies! I was happy with Holly's night last night - was asleep at 7.30, woke at 12.20 and fed an settled well, another feed at 4.20 and just woke again just before 7.30.

Crikey, can't imagine holly rolling over for a long while yet!!

Ooh I love friends, used to be obsessed with it when I was younger - posters round my room, loads of merchandise etc! I have them all on DVD but tend to watch the repeats on tv more than anything, still makes me laugh out loud even though I know every word!

 

[baby_maybe]

I don't think Ruben is ready for rolling either yet, although he is a bit of a lazy boy! Also when we do tummy time he will hold his head up for a bit, but then he just lays there sucking his hands and not doing a whole lot He is drooling a lot lately as well, especially when he tries to suck his thumb, but again he is so lazy that he gives in and waits for someone to come along and put his dummy in for him instead!

In regards to the fussiness he was having that started on tuesday, he seems to be coming to the end of it and settled well in his carrycot to nap yesterday afternoon and this morning, so maybe the wonder week is coming to an end?? Also he was eating a bit less up until last night, when it took 8 1/2oz of milk to get him to settle, he still wasn't asleep when I put him to bed at just after 9, but he self settled and didn't wake up until 7 this morning

Forgot to add that this morning I put Ruben in some 3-6 month dungarees and they fit him! He's growing so fast it makes me sad

 

[Kte]

Hi ladies, sorry for a quick stop, we have to be somewhere for 11 and it really takes me this long to get all 3 of us ready.

Sophie slept from 8 - 4am this morning She then went down at 4.30 and is still asleep now (8.20)! I can't believe it! I even did her bum at 12 when I crawled into bed and she woke but didn't want to feed, just went back to sleep!!

 

[baby_maybe]

Kte that's awesome, well done Sophie

Ruben had his feed at just after 7 and only stayed awake for probably 30 minutes and is now fast asleep again!

 

[Amy_T]

Oh forgot to say regarding the broody thing.... I am constantly broody but think I always will be! I love being pregnant and I love babies so no matter how many I had I think I would always feel that pang when I see a pregnant woman or a newborn baby. My mum is the same now and she's mid 50's with no chance of having any more!!! I miss my bump! But I'm blessed with 3 healthy gorgeous girls so I am happy with our family

 

[AmyB1978]

Emily is also drooling and sucking her hands like crazy. At least your lo 's just lay there during tummy time, Emily mainly just Screams! She really does hate it! She is strong and can pick her head and shoulders up well, she just chooses to face plant and cry!

I do think the rolling over is a bit of a fluke and she may have cheated with the couch, but I still counted it as her first time and was quite pleased with her.

I should try and get some more sleep, she just got done feeding and done with her 30 minutes of upright time after feeding, and I need to be up Ina bit less tha. 2 hours, I have to,work today.. My 2nd day back (just working Saturdays) and I am dreading it, I so,hate living her, ever with DH!

 

[sharnw]

[sportysgirl]

Gorgeous picture Seths mummy. Glad your boy had a good sleep!

Poppy is 2 months old today where has that time gone! Survived the first day and now 2 nights without OH!

 

[Kte]

Happy two months Poppy

Lovely pics Seth'sMummy

Sophie's sleep went well again last night and I'm hoping for the same again tonight - I'm tired as I stupidly didn't get to bed until midnight so once her bottles are done I'm off to bed in the hope of an early night.

My body is going crazy at the moment, I'm ok when I wake up but by the end of the day I feel like AF is due, I'm all bloated and achy. I guess it's still hormones settling but

No rolling for Sophie but she has started to attempt to sit up, she can't obviously but it's cute seeing her try to.

 

[AmyB1978]

Yay for smiley babies, good sleep, and attempting new skills!

I'm so glad we all have stayed together and are March Mamas now!

 

[skeet9924]

It's nice to see all of our babies developing together and seeing how similar they are all moving along.

Has anyone else's lo started to notice when you disappear? Carson did this for the first time last night with oh. We had Carson on the grass out side and my oh stopped and said hi to him quick then went inside.. Carson followed him with his eyes and head then cried when he went inside.. I thought it was just coincidence until he did it to me today..

 

[AmyB1978]

Emily definitely notices when I come and go... She will watch me/make eye contact with me and then sometime cry when I walk away... There are also times when she is crying but then I come into sight and she stops... Only to start again if I go back out of sight.
