Mayhem Babies! May 2011 mummies and babies

[new_to_ttc]

How long have they been on rice for heyy? If they are seriously that hungry it might not be satisfying them enough. Have you tried mixing some rusk (do you guys get rusk over there?) with some warm milk, maybe half a rusk each, not immediately before bed but maybe 7pm ish, this may just sit heavier on their tummys and help them settle and sleep better at night. I remember Joshua was off the rice very quickly it just wasnt enough for him. Once he got the taste for solids he wanted 'food' if you get me. I gave him something called sunshine breakfast, came in a box, although no idea if its still available. But he had that morning, and half a rusk at night and was happy, then just increase it as and when he needed it. Hope you get some sleep hun, and sorry DH is being so 'manly' grrrr

Lisa Daniel is gorgeous!!! Enjoy your trip for your birthday Oh and I likes that carrier hun!!

Wud, Im thinking I may pop my head round Next's door lol Im hoping its all gone already so i dont spend I really dont have the disposable cash for unneccessary clothes shopping this weekend lol

I just put Mickey mouse on for george while I popped upstairs to get ready, I can hear him and Joshua chatting along with it no doubt i'll go down and find Joshua all over George, he never leaves him alone to sit in his chair, but hey ho George is going to have to get used to having no peace just like i am, we got 7 weeks of the school holidays lol

Wild is silently TTC quads so is MIA.

Er AF didnt materialise, so just spotting which i have never had before?!

hey. xx

 

[mummy3]

Lisa, he's adorable! 12 hours sleep?! lucky! Eek at the boobs though, mine go solid after a 6 hour stretch so dread to think what 12 hours would do lol. The carriier is very pretty Dunno quite why with Eilidh, but she started little and I'm sure its got to be because she has gained enough to catch up, all I do know is I get different docs ringing up all the time panicing me

Heyy Sorry your DH is being like that, you must be knacked all I can suggest is growth spurt and they need more than rice, have you asked the pediatrician to check them over incase its something medical?

New, Ooh I remember sunshine breakfast, my son loved it! Is that the mickey mouse clubhouse? My eldest gets 11 weeks of school holiday and it feels like its gone on forever.

Wud, sounds good. Makes me want to go shopping

2/7, haha yeah making quads is a very busy job... Strange about the spotting, implantation?

 

[24/7]

The thought did cross my mind mummy, but there is nothing to suggest our comdoms havent worked!! xx

 

[mummy3]

Lol my son can vouch for condoms not always working

 

[24/7]

Hmm.... No babies wanted here just yet so AF better just be teasing me!! xx

 

[hopefulmama]

I actually had to take the morning after pill the other day because after we had sex w/a condom it all magically leaked out of the bottom of condom, never had this happen before, the condom had like rolled up a bit.. we were using just a reg condom not magnum and it was a bit too small so now i know what happens. Since I took the morning after pill I think I am about to start my period.. I took it on wed, and now have pms, bad cramps and lower back and that shitty feeling you get the day before you start your period.

hey- how are they doing with the rice? Thats great they are sooo hungry, not so great they don't want to sleep anymore!! I bought some just in case because my pediatrician suggested it with the reflux, but out of nowhere, his reflux disappeared so i never used it. Hope you get some sleep !

 

[hopefulmama]

wow this is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. breastfeeding at 8 years old.

[new_to_ttc]

lol takes ages to get back to normal after pregnancy hun, the body does weird and wonderful things... hope the condoms have done their job

Yes it was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, George loves it proper gurgles and chuckles lol I wonder if they still make the Sunshine breakfast??

I went to Next and spent £18.50 well done me and got huge bargin in the Clarks sale, got Joshua's feet measured see if he would need new school shoes, he has gone up a full size! But they had a 70% sale on and I got him a pair of trainers for £7!! His were worn, and obviously the wrong size Ive never paid under £25 for his shoes or trainers was a pleasant change lol but he definitely needs school shoes, and they will be £38! lol

 

[new_to_ttc]

Joshua asked me if he could try my breastmilk when I was feeding Geirge once, each to their own but not for me. I think 8years old is too old!

 

[24/7]

I very much hope they have new, I didn't plan on being a May 2012'er that's for sure!!
Fab news on the shoes new!! My sale sleepsuits arrived today. xx

 

[heyyady]

QUADS??? Why ever would Wild want FOUR of them! lol

The girls have been on the Rice for about a week and a half- they were checked by the pediatrician right before we started and are healthy as could be- I have no idea what RUSK is- I was told to increase how much Rice cereal they have at night until we find a happy amount, last night they took 2 oz each (made with formula) and did eventually go a 6 hour stretch without wanting to eat- however, they still didn't really sleep, although it was slightly better, waking every hour not every half :/

I have informed Hubby as today was his last ever opening shift that last night was the last time we sleep in the living room. They just have to get used to sleeping in their crib and settling themselves and he can just bite me and deal with it! I don't think he expected to walk out of the room this morning to a raging wife! I blame the
(and when he gets in this afternoon I'll be explaining to him how I'm taking $100 out of this paycheck and buying things for the girls! I'm on a roll, why stop here!)

 

[Wiggler]

24 - I'm having spotting too, like my period is trying to start but can't. I wish these period pains would bugger off until AF decides to arrive properly.

My gorgeous baby girl just rolled from front to back!!!! I thought it was an accident since she had pushed herself up and looked a bit wobbly but when I put her on her front she did it again, and then again!

 

[heyyady]

Awww! My girls do it, but still look so surprised at themselves when it happens!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Go heyy!! lolol Erm rusk... its ermmm well a round thing that turns to slop when added with milk - for a weird reason kids and adults love them (I cant stand them personally lol) They a weird biscuit type thing but suitable from weaning age lol Once they having finger foods you dont need to mush them with milk. Mummy will know what it is, and may be able to suggest something similar you have. Hope the girls settle quickly intheir cribs

Yay you got your sleepsuits!! Only sleepsuits they had in store was biggest up to 3 months, and as cute as they were no point us having those lol

All that cramping has gone here, no sign of AF at all - and dont anyone suggest it was implantation

Wtg rolling babies

 

[24/7]

That's reassured me abit wiggler, thank you - I do not want to be pregnant!!!! Not that I can see how I could be but, you get where I'm coming from!!

Well done Bethany!! xx

 

[mummy3]

yeah hopeful I really dont understand bfing past around 5, I'm all for it until then but what does a school aged kid get out of it? I'd have thought the social cons would far outway any health pros by that age Lol at the condoms, my DH is huge too so we need to be v careful what brand we use.

Heyy, yeah you tell him!! Have fun spending, what do you want to buy?

New, bargain!

Wiggler, awww Go Bethany! Eilidh rollled once but its not happened since so must've been a fluke, cant wait till shes doing these things.

No spotting here, get cramps but bfing does that esp during times when LO feeding slightly less, without going on the pill I'll prob be waiting a couple years lol, coil will prob set it off tho..

 

[BizyBee]

Absolutely no signs of AF here, but not surprised! It could still be months away.

Hey, why would anyone complain about you giving rice cereal? Is it technically too early or something? Guess I'm out of the loop cause I haven't gotten that far in my book yet.

Daniel is a cutie!

Whoa, breastfeeding at 8 actually creeps me out.

 

[lisaf]

Wow. Bethany!! Daniel is so far from rolling, lol!

Had our first poo-plosion this morning. How on earth it can shoot up his back while he is sitting is beyond me. DH had to wake me up to help him.

 

[hopefulmama]

Bizy- ya it creeps me out too, big time
