November Mummies

[charliebear]

Hi all, wow i keep missing this thread!!

Happy New Year to all (a bit late sorry!)

Glad to hear everyone is doing well both parents and babies, not forgetting siblings too.
Sorry to hear about Tim's Grandad Jem, big coming your way.

Well, big news from up North!! Aidan has slept through a total of 5 nights since last saturday!! So were all getting some decent sleep. We moved him from his moses into his cot in our room last night and mummy and daddy we the only one's that were bothered!

Aidan has his 6 week check tomorrow and going to get weighed. Where does the time go...

 

[cosmotbear]

WOW!!Charliebear, am very impressed - what a good little boy! It sounds like everyone is doing sooooo well! Its amazing we all have our babies now! Luvbun, sounds like you are doing fantastically too. Zac is growing well, 11lb 6oz weighed today. We are trying to stick to the routine of bath, feed, bed at 7/7.30 but he is always very restless and wakes a lot before the feed at 10pm. Is it too early to be trying to put him to sleep? I was thinking of reversing it and doing feed/bath/bed as hes always very sleepy after the bath. Hummm. He does then go 11/11.30 till about 4.30/5.00am, has a small feed and then up again about 7am wanting to play. Hes doing pretty well but just the early evening thats the problem, trying to get dinner is a nightmare! Anyone have any tips that work for them?
Jem, sounds like Ollie is doing great now. Glad the jabs went well for you and Kat. Zac has his tomorrow.....yowch! Did you both give Calpol after?

 

[cosmotbear]

Hello!! Hope the milk allergy is sorted - you sound very on the ball! I had an epidural and did have a bit of back pain for a few weeks after...at the time I thought it was carrying zac around but now I think about it, it might have been the epi. It went away after3/4 weeks and now all good. Hope yours eases soon hun x

Hey Mummies.

I would have been on before but only just managed to crawl out of the rubble that xmas left behind.My house looks like the after math of Toys R us being bombed!!

How are we all?Did we get spoilt rotten?

Bubba4-it was hell.OhH couldn't get to work quick enough today.I was thankful for the support of my baileys!!So need that time machine and remote island!!

HI kat! Hows little man?Huge hugs for tomoro.After 4 kids I still dont do the injection thing.I either take a friend who does it or I give baby to nurse,I cry hearing other babys cry!Abi's is due the 6th boo hoo xx

Hey Luvbun,Hows Rosie?Still sleeping well? xx

HI Jayne.Hope you get some time out soon xx

Hi Jem how is everyone and ollie? Hugs to you all xx

Hi Cosmot bear.Its fab we can all chat again.Bloody missed it.My house is being neglected again!!

Hi to every one on here xxxx

We are all ok this end.tired but all ok.Abi doing ok.got drs tomoro as I think she has an allergy to milk as she has bad patches of dry skin,blotches on face and green poop.My son had it so I know the signs.

Question to anyone who had an epidural.My back is bloody agony.I feel like the needle's still there.I'm going to get it checked but ouch!Does any one else still suffer?I got my AF back today so that hasn't helped.

Hugs to you all and to all the babies xxxxx

Oliver doesn't go down until 9/9.30. He sleeps through to 3, has a quick feed, then is down again until my DH alarm goes off for work at 7. Over the christmas holidays, I was putting him back down until 8.30, but that was just me being selfish!!! He also doesn't have a bath at night, as he is too tired and it makes him grumpy. We just change his nappy to a night time one, cover him in bed time cream and put his night clothes on. Then we take him back downstairs, where he has a final feed, then is out for the count.
Good luck for his jabs tomorrow!

 

[Eoz]

Well hellloooooooo!!!!!!!

Where are you all hiding??

Well my update on my chaotic life is as follows............

Abi Lou doing bloody brilliant!I switched the bottles and she now guzzles 5/6oz every 3 hrs and she goes down at 9pm then wakes at 1am and then 5 then 8.So i'm getting some sleep.She doesn't have a milk allergy just Eczema.The only reason I noticed it then rather than birth was because I stopped boob feeding.I have switched Formula to Aptimil and I now have a happy and satisfied baby.She had her 1st Jabs today (was to ill last with a cold last week)and now weighs 11lb 3oz,An average of half a pound a week.

It's my eldest's birthday in 2 weeks.Shocking she will be 11!My 3rd will be 2 in a week.Time has flown by! Dan dan will be 6 in a month.So I'm very skint!

Well I have to have an operation soon.I have been bleeding a lot and still getting very bad back ache.I had a scan and it showed my 5cm cyst is now 9 and a half cm.So it needs to be removed along with repairing my tubes.It could lead to me getting a partial hysterectomy.I won't know till feb 3rd quite what they intend on doing.I hope it gets sorted I hate this pain.

I have to move in 4 weeks and I stiil am strugling to find somewhere.The council are doing bugger all as they have no houses.So god knows what I'm going to do!!!

And my new years resolution is to become a better parent.I went to a parenting class this evening and I really enjoyed it.It has helped already.It goes on for 10 weeks.The other bonus is I get out on my own for 2 hrs a week and I have made 2 new buddies.We are making a pact to help each other out.

Well my darlings lets be hearing from you please xxxxxx

 

[charliebear]

Hi to all.

Blooming hell 4thbump, sounds like your going through alot!!
Hope things go ok with the op and the house move.

Sounds like a perfect routine there Kat, hope your both well.

We dont follow a routine as such and Aidan goes to sleep in our arms
Aidan is doing really well, he now weighs 11lb 6oz and goes for his first immunisations a week friday.
Mummy is doing fine too, although my arm hurts as LO is lying on it and I got my implant yesterday...ouch!!

Aww, I bought Aidan a lovely swimsuit today, he loves swimming in the big bath! So were going to try him in the swimming baths in a couple of weeks.

Hi ladies,

How the devil are we all?

Firstly I think I owe you all an apology for falling off the face of the earth.

Hope all babies and mummies are doing nicely.

Well things here are pretty mad, lost my grandad last week and we are at hospital tomorrow with Eleanor as they have detected a hole in her here. And whilst granted they are very common it is still a huge worry. Worse comes to worse she'll have to go to Great Ormand Street for an op to close it. Tomorrow holds all the answers.

Other than that no other goss. Eleanor is such a great baby, she is so good. She has been sleeping through the night since 3 weeks and now in her own room for the last 2 weeks. I mean literally through. She goes down at 10.30pm and doesn't wake until at least 8am. So all good. Currently taking 5oz and docs worried about her weight. We do know due to her heart she wont put on as much as heart is working harder, but think she is a little baby anyway.

Love to you all.

Mrs P x x x

Hi, swimming went great!! Aidan loved it, but he loves the bath too, which made me want to take him.
He screamed the place down when we come out though!! (which is normal, he does the same when he's tired and comes out of the bath!)

If you dont mind me asking where abouts are you?? Just i got a free swimmig pass through surestart!

How's Alfie after his injections?? And his poor lil mouth?? x

 

[vicwick]

Was gonna ask you the same thing lol. I live in Houghton le Spring but will probably go to Washington swimming baths at the galleries?! dunno if you know the area at all. How did you get the pass???

He's doin fine, his poor little face when he got his first injection i put him on my boob to keep him calm and he just went bright red n started screamin then opened his mouth to grab for my boob again it was horrible, he wasn;t too bad with the 2nd one tho. He was a little fussy yesterday but he's been fine since

Were in Newcastle. Go to Byker pool. I know where the galleries are!!

We went along to a surestart playgroup, filled in registration form and ticked the free swim pass box. we can go free, 2 adults and 2 children on a tues and thurs am (certain times tho but you can stay as long as you like!)
Look into it they may have it in your area.

Aww, Aidan had his last Friday. He went bright red in the face with the second, was horrible.
He's had a bit of a temp past few days, I've been a typical fussy mommy!! x
