November Rainbows 2016

[LynAnne]

Some days Connor can be a bit like that. I've had bottles take more than double the time because he is so busy smiling at me or playing with the teat in his mouth. He's a funny wee guy like that. Sometimes it can be a really grumpy, sad affair when I'm a minute late with his bottle. He'll scream himself hoarse and get so worked up that even though he's hungry and wants the bottle be wont eat. Takes a lot of shushing, cuddling and rocking before he'll eat.

We are hoping Edith Misery Kinickers has gone I've said a few times I think she may have a bit of belly ache this week, hasn't pooped since Monday and tonight she is the happiest she has been, that's maybe because she finally pooped, twice, both major explosions that resulted in a bath each time, she's never been so clean

I got told be an old person in Asda I would ruin Lucas by having him in the sling

Edith fusses sometimes when she is on the boob, at her baby group the babies all feed on the boob all nice and snugly, then there is Edith! Arms and legs everywhere swinging her head round to look at something boob still in mouth grunting and groaning like some sort of gremlin

Is anyone else's Lo showing signs of teething, Edith has always got her fist shoved in and she dribbles and blows bubbles, I thought it was teething especially with her grumpiness but one of the baby group leaders said she could just be feeling them move around

Henry's always got his fist in his mouth at the moment, like the whole thing . Aurora started doing it at this age too. I thought she was teething but she didn't get a tooth till 8months. I think it can be just exploring at this age but who knows. Some babies get teeth early. My friends baby was born with a tooth!

 

[lilesMom]

Emily has drooly dribbles
Hand in mouth
And very hard gums
My sis said she could see a white patch on her gums today
Simes didn't get a tooth until 10.5 months despite teething signs at 4 months.
My gran nephew had twoteeth at 4 months
So who knows when she actually get them.

Sometimes Emily very peaceful feeder
Other times she beats the boobie up

My Dr sent me to hosp with my wound yest
After waiting 5 hrs with Emily
Got told they weren't a wound specialist
So couldn't decide what type of dressing or treatment needed
But they didn't feel it was infected
Gee thanks
I could hvd told them that
And not hve three Drs shove their fingers into it
Should be seeing wound nurse next week sonetime
They r going to ring me Monday to see when

Think it might be getting infected now though.
Getting gunky.doh

Had my gran nephews christening today.
Was lovely ��

 

[Lucasmum]

I think lucas as about 7 months when he got a tooth, could be completely wrong though

OH bought Edith the fisher price laugh and learn puppy, she always gives it big smiles in baby group and we got our first proper little giggle from her with it tonight she seems to really love it and it's down to £10 in Tesco so bargain

Ouch glad you are seeing a wound nurse, not surprised it's starting to get inf cited with everyone prodding at it, is it painful along with it?

 

[maryanne1987]

That's sounds awful lilesmom. Puts me off having more, I have to have a section 100% next time and I don't fancy the recovery at all. Hope your ok??

Awww that's cute lucusmum. We have the fisher price laugh and learn apps on my iPad for aurora. She loves them. Nothing beats baby giggles. I love Henry's laugh. It always cheers me up.

 

[lilesMom]

Aw giggles are the best xxx
Cutie

Maryanne my recovery isn't the normal one
If it all recovered the same as the right hand side of it
It would hve been fine really
Painful for the first week
But if u take all the pain killers
Its very doable
Well worth it even with the extra hassle

It is a bit sore still Lucas mom
But not crippling pain or anything
Just annoying

The christening was lovely today.
I was getting a bit cranky and hermity
So was great timing to cheer me up again

 

[lilesMom]

Emily has so much clothes in 3-6 months.
Like boxes of it
And she is now starting to complety fill them
Wont be long until she is in the next size
She id growing soo fast
The little cutie.

 

[Lucasmum]

We have lots of 3-6 as well got 3 big bag fulls for £30 from facebook sales all really lovely stuff, but we haven't put her in any of it it yet it's all way to long, will need to move her soon though as it's far to tight on the belly, sleep suits gape between the poppers and belly hangs through

Let's play spot the difference

 

[lilesMom]

She is sooooo cute
Gorgeous little girl.
Emily legs r long
Her little toes reach the top of suits long before she fills them width wise
She is getting nice and pudgy now too though
Hv check in a week
Cant wait to see how much she has put on

 

[lilesMom]

Emmy

 

[maryanne1987]

Awww what cute little ladies!

I bought waaay to much 3-6 stuff. He's going into 6-9 this morning and there's still so much he's never worn. Hopefully have another boy next so it gets some use. I was hoping to squeeze him into it for longer but the popers on the vests won't do up under his bum anymore and his toes are squashed in the sleepsuits. He's huge. Aurora went into 6-9 at 4.5 months and he's beating her. Shes ginormous but looks like he's going to be bigger.

 

[lilesMom]

Heis gorgeous !!!!
Cutie pie

 

[lilesMom]

I'm seriously broody again
It went for a bit
Very strange since I'm not even healed yet
I keep imagining how a third would fit in to our day to day life
Its very busy with two
But I'm managing better than I imagined and I'm not back to 100 yet.
Maybe its cos I know I hve to wait.
Forbidden fruit and all that
Sorry I'm rambling

Hope ye r all well xx

 

[maryanne1987]

Do not start me off lilesmom. I've got a serious case of the brood too. I almost told DH that I wouldn't mind starting ttc early, possibly later this month. I've held back though. We are starting to ttc anyway in may so in trying to hold back. I'd prefer a bigger age gap plus I wouldn't want another November baby. My boys are only two days apart so want to add another. Ideally an after xmas due date would be best for us. So going to hold back. Do you have plans to ttc? Will you need to wait longer as you aren't healing well?

 

[Lucasmum]

Not really broody much, especially as she is such a poop sleeper, then she sleeps really well and I think hmmmm maybe we could squeeze another in Lucas did ask when we are having another at the weekend OH told him probably not as we waited so long for Edith but he did say no

 

[lilesMom]

I was thinking maybe ttc this aug/ sep.
A summer baby was good
Cos less chance of serious bug or flu while bub small.
But now I prob should give myself more time cos of bad healing
I want to lose weight too before I do
But cant exercise properly yet.
So that's pushed out then too
Also want to give Emily her time with feeding
And I don't hve af cos of feeding
So nature will prevent it too soon anyway

But I'm pretty def I want a third anyways
Hoping it works out when we do get to ttc

I'll be super jealous of ye when ye do xcc

Sounds like oh is warming the idea Lucasmom xx

 

[lilesMom]

Half thinking of just ntnp when squishy hits the 6 month mark
But that's a bit silly
Should def wait longer
I'm forgetting how sore and not mobile I was

 

[lilesMom]

Just realised that would be may
Be lovely if we were together again
But I might not even hve af or be in a position to then

 

[maryanne1987]

That's great it wasn't a total no lucusmum. Need to get working on him to make it a yes

You should ask your doctor lilesmom. People kept on at me that we should wait a year between babies but it's always best to ask a doctor cause then they can give advice tailored to you. I had a few blood tests to check my iron levels, checked my tears had healed nicely and did an ultrasound to check my uterus and I was given the go ahead by our fertility specialist. He said the year wait is just general advice and every woman is different. Some may recover quickly while some may take more than a year. What's the advice they give for waiting after a section?
