Mayhem Babies! May 2011 mummies and babies

[mummy3]

Sorry about Dylans eczema wiggler Is it oilatum for the bath? That stuffs pretty good. Seriously cute pic too!

Wild, awww sienna sounds like shes so excited Anja had the jealousy but shes getting there. Siennas only a fe months older than Anja right? Anjas 2 in august.

Brandi, I wish we can keep them little. I'm so glad to hear your hubby is coming round

Meow, how are you feeling today?

Inge, so glad you got some more sleep Lol at dtd I think we waited like 4/5 days

Eilidh did better last night too, but I've found its related to when she needs to poop, she goes once a week and near to when she goes she's sleepless and post sleepy She's awake alot during the day now too and really looking around and following things. Her big brother is getting big smiles from her as I write this, they are very close

 

[Wiggler]

Awwww!! I can't wait til Bethany starts smiling, I love her windy grins though Poor little lady must be so uncomfy when it gets close to poopie time

Yes, Dylan has Oilatum for his bath, my mum has it too cos she has mega mad eczema and other skin problems.

I'm a bad mummy, Bethany removed herself from the boob, I tried to get her back on as she looked like she wanted more and my naughty boobie squirted her in the face She did not look amused! My boobs are very naughty, I go through so many pads cos they leak ALL the time!

Here I am.... xx

 

[Inge]

congrats 24/7 when was Sam born and il add him to the Mayhem babies list how was the birth?

 

[24/7]

Born at 4.33 this morning. Birth was long and hard but an amazing experience and did it all with G&A with no tearing, just a graze. xx

 

[mummy3]

You have no problems with supply then?! I have one leaking boob, but nothing major. Only been through about 1 pack of breast pads since she arrived. Lol you leak less the more you have Ive found so at least when you getto # 4/5 you save on pads

Eilidhs been smiling for a couple of weeks now, I asked her doc about it as its so early with her being premature so technically she's smiling before she's due lol but he said that with preemies you aim for doing things actual age but you have the fallback of the adjusted age. But yeah love smiles she starts with a half smile then her whole face breaks out in a grin

24/7! Welcome!

Watching Dora here before making brownies, inside day for a bit as its 100 degrees agin but mcdonalds play area tonight! Whats everyone else upto?

 

[mummy3]

24/7 thats awesome you escaped with just a graze! I had a similar birth with my son and was up and about feeling pretty normal in about a week so hoping for the same for you Is he bigger than you expected? I remember you had growth scans.

 

[Inge]

im feeding a hungry grumpy baby boy and possibly got us a free fridge freezer from freecycle

 

[24/7]

We were expecting 5-6lbs and he came out at 7lbs8oz and a big head, so was very ouchy at the pushing stage as he had his hands up to his face, so was very lucky to escape with just a graze!! xx

 

[mummy3]

Definately lucky! You're home quick too, you must be so happy

Inge, yay for the fridge freezer, love a bargain

 

[24/7]

Passing clots is normal at this stage isn't it? xx

 

[mummy3]

Depends on how big the clots are. Watch out for anything bigger than an inch.

 

[24/7]

They were probably about that size - Will mention it to MW tomorrow when she comes, thank you. xx

[wild2011]

mummy sienna was 2 in march! x

24 congrats again on ur beautiful boy! xx

 

[Wiggler]

Hehe I'm jealous of you mummy, I've gone through over 150 breast pads so far!! and today I have been soaking through both sides every hour I wish my boobs had an on/off switch

24/7 - Hiya! Congrats hun. Wow, just a graze, thats amazing, especially as Sam was un such an awkward position. He's a lovely weight too, same as Bethany was.

Inge - Yay for the fridgefreezer!!

 

[mummy3]

Thanks Maybebaby Tell me about time flying, I have 4 kids now, still feels like yesterday was pregnant with #1

Wiggler, it will stop in a few months as you regulate, I remember it being around 4/5 months. Till then, make sure you take a spare top when you go out! I have leaked a couple of times when out but just on the left side, so looks very very odd! 150?! Do you express as well? If not it might be an idea to take the edge off, try expressing the side you are not feeding on and again after feeds. It will keep your supply up though so dont just express once a week or something lol or you'll end up drenched.

 

[mummy3]

Wild seems Chloe and Sienna are both Similar in age to my girls, eldest is 6 also and 7 in sept. I dont have a 5 year old though, little dude is only 3 Both of us with 3 girls and 1 boy

 

[Wiggler]

I don't express yet, but I'm going to start soon, I hate waste and the thought of all that wasted milk is really getting to me.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Expressing is great, especially when you're like me and make too much milk. Anberlin eats 3.5oz every 2.5-3 hours, yet I'm able to express another 12oz...AFTER she feeds. The engorgement sucks but the supply in the freezer is great!
