Awwww he is so cute

Its hard to compare size, I will have to put him on his mat and see where he gets too tomorrow lol Have you measured his length? George is 59cm! Yikes!

Its noce when they self settle, takes so much pressure off Hope you and Dh are enjoying some adult time while he is sleeping xxx

I'll measure him next time I change him.

He's awake now, after being asleep since 5 and has just had his bath with Daddy and they are having some time together while I have a little chill, ahhhh. xx

Oh yay Jen time george is still snug asleep in bed lol I keep going up to check the video monitor hasnt stalled

 

[24/7]

I'm terrible, as soon as he goes to sleep I can't stop checking and start missing him!! He sounds like he is having fun with Daddy though!! When he woke up and saw OH after he had been at work all day he just had the hugest smile on his face, it was so perfect, and so lovely for OH to see how pleased he was to see him. xx

Mummy- Connor's EEG went well, hasn't had a seizure in a year now. They made us keep him up because they have to preform it while he is awake and then asleep. Hopeful is enjoying her little man, who is such a cutie.

How do your LO's sleep at night? We swaddle Liam and he sleeps in his crib in our room but he still doesn't settle at night. Tried gas drops and gripe water but nothing works.

Awwww well done Sam Is he smiling often? Im sure george is smiling, but he seems a little young?

 

[24/7]

He has a few times over the last few days now, only when he has his nappy changed though usually. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

George just sleeps with a blanket over him... for some reason Im still not totally comfortable using just a sleepbag. He sleeps in his hammock next to my bed. Very occassionally we co-sleep if he wont settle after a night feed, he sometimes only settles while holding onto me, but hasnt happened much.

All these chilled out babies, and mummies getting timeout!

Lucky, glad he hasn't had a seizure for a year thats awesome. I'm dreading it, they always shove a whole load of flashing lights at me and I always end up having a seizure which sucks for the rest of the day. I've had a few of them now and we know where the focus is so dunno why having another one really. Eilidh sleeps swaddled in her basket now but was sleeping on DH for a while lol. Tell hopeful we miss her and to come visit!

New, he probably is smiling. 6 weeks is a guide, some earlier some later. Eilidh was smiling at either 6 weeks actual or 38 weeks gest lol, but I've had upto 13 weeks for my son.

I'm looking at houses right now, the hubby has sent a list for me to go over. Great fun but still dont know if staying here His logic is get prepared for when our lease is up one way or another which is 7 months time now.

Sam has two blankets, and seems happy. He escapes swaddles. xx

 

[Wiggler]

Too hot for blankets here most of the time.

Didn't bother watching a film in the end, Dylan was playing up so I decided to go out to the garden and let him burn off some energy.

Bethany smiles once or twice a day, I'm hoping she will start smiling more soon, she has such a pretty smile.

I got bethanys BC back from CB yesterday, does that mean I'll be getting payments from them soon?

 

[24/7]

My friend who had her LO on 27th April has her CB already. xx

 

[meow951]

When the letter arrives telling you you've been awarded child benefit you can go on the website and it will tell you when your first pay date is.

 

[Wiggler]

Got my backpayment this morning Just the right amount to cover this bills Going to pay them later, I'm so releived. And it means that I can now return to my origonal plans for my birthday.

I am shattered, I have been surviving on less than 3 hours of sleep a night for too long, why won't Dylan sleep in longer?!

 

[meow951]

Wiggler- I cant remember if you said but is he any different if you totally blacked out the room?

 

[Wiggler]

Nopes, he still gets up super early if the room is completely dark, we have also tried later bedtimes, earlier bedtimes, stopping his naps (big mistake, he still woke up super early and was soooo grumpy ) really tiring him out, moving dinnertime about and giving him a snack before bed in case he was waking up hungry, giving him chamomile tea before bed, his room is a nice temperature too, I'm baffled . I don't mind him getting up early at all, any time after 5.30 is fine with me, but its crept back to 4am and thats far too early

 

[new_to_ttc]

Urgh 4am is definitely far too early. Ive no idea what else you could try though. Porridge or warm weetabix before bed maybe? With a hot chocolate? Good news about the CB I only remembered to post mine a few days ago

Ive got sneezes this morning and everytime I do George stops feeding to give me a dirty look

 

[Wiggler]

Thanks, I'll give it a go, I'm also going to stop the naps again, the past few days he has started getting really sleepy around 8-9am so it just shows he isn't getting enough sleep. I also need to start getting early nights myself.

Aww bless!!! Bethany spends most of her time looking at me like I'm crazy

 

[new_to_ttc]

A nap at that time isnt too uncommon hun, he's been awake for 4 hours by that point! Pmsl Im ready for a nap after being awake 4 hours

George is eyeing up my grapes He is reaching for them pmsl he's been a 2 boob monster this morning and is wide awake, so I think he may be having another growth spurt and my boobs may get hammered today lol

Joshua has his school photos today, so Im hoping they let George go on the picture too I asked Joshua if he wanted his school photo just him, or if he wanted me to see if George could go on too and he said George too, yay! I'd have gone without if he wanted it to be just him like normal though lol Joshua has picked out George's outfit for the photo lol

 

[new_to_ttc]

Yay they did a photo of Joshua on his own, and a photo of the boys together Georges face is quite bad today and the photographer offered to airbrush the spots/redness away but I declined, its how he is now so its how I want the photo
