Summer Sensations! (due May/June 2013)

[No Doubt]

Virtue is definitely going through a growth spurt. He ate 5oz at 9:45...I mean sucker it down with no problem, then woke at 2 and ate 4 oz, then another 4 at 4, then another 4 at 6. Thank goodness he goes right back to sleep. But at least this heat wave has broken and we were able to get out for a walk today! I even cut my air off!

Two - So glad the night routine is working for you too!

Haylee seems to like waking at 6 every day now. I was able to shift when she goes to sleep up to 11 so I may try pushing it up to 10:30 in a couple weeks as long as her sleeping stays consistent.

Hey ladies! speaking of growth spurts how much do you lo's weigh? Last week Liam weighed over 12 lbs and he isnt even 7 weeks yet, omgsh he is HUGE!

 

[No Doubt]

I weighed Virtue today and he was 11.14.

 

[TwoRdue]

Jasper waz weighed today and is 10lbs and 58cm long at 7weeks 2 days

 

[Christie2011]

Leo weighed in at 15 lbs 4 oz this morning at 7 weeks 4 days. I've been reading up on weight gain and read that the normal rate is to double birth rate between 4 and 6 months and triple by one year. Leo is on target to double before he is 3 months!

Fia's only still a little dot compared to all your los! 8lbs14 yesterday...

 

[No Doubt]

Aww...but she's a cute little dot broody!

 

[TwoRdue]

She is a gorgeous little weight bloody..

Jasper slept through the night last night yay.. he went down just after 10.30 and woke slightly at 1.30 for a couple of min and sleep through till 7.30 for his first feed.. I hope this becomes a regular..

We move country in a week and a half and it's such a big task with a baby but we are getting there slower than I would like.
I got a letter from the specialist to take with me for future ivf and pregnancy that outlined my previous pregnancys, losses and complications and was hard to see it all outlined on one piece of paper but it also made me feel so blessed to have my little Jasper after all that.it's such an amazing feeling and I'm already planning to doing ivf in about 18 to 24 months (I loved doing ivf) would love a sibling for Jasper.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.x

Two - we've already started planning for number 2 as well since we did IUI. We figure we'll we'll start the process again when Haylee is a year old.

 

[Christie2011]

I've been thinking about my frozen embabies. I think I'm going to wait until Nicholas is two, Leo will almost be 1 and a half.

 

[TwoRdue]

I told my oh when I was in labour that there was no way I was doing this again and two days later we were making plans for another lol I find it exciting.

 

[raelynn]

I was the same way. I kept saying I don't know why anyone would ever do this more than once but I totally get it now.

 

[No Doubt]

I'm not really planning for the next baby or any after that. I know I have a girl m future as all my dreams have always been me and my daughter, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the next one will be a boy and then we will have a girl. I also think the next one will be on their way by the time Virtue is 1 or at least not too long after he turns 1. I've heard people say that they would never do this more than once and then that obviously goes out the window, but I never felt that way. It took us so long to get pregnant and with everything we went through, I always knew the next time around we be NTNP. So even if we don't have anymore kids I'm fine with that, but I know we will.

 

[TwoRdue]

Are any of you Los suddenly sleeping lots? Jasper has been for the pass three days, he will sleep through the night and I wake him in the morning to feed and is back to sleep, I found I have to again wake him to feed and sometimes he will keep sleeping while feeding and when I burp him half way through he will scream and refuse the rest of his feed and continue to sleep.. when he finally has a little awake time he smiles and is happy but falls asleep not long after.. not sure if I should be concerned or not

 

[No Doubt]

Virtue just went through that. He does that everytime he has a growth spurt. Even though I know that I still worry too thinking he might be getting sick, but he's always fine. He's still sleeping more than usual, but looks like he's getting back to normal...and also eating more, lol. He's sucking down 5-6oz a free now. But it makes for solid sleep at night so whatever makes him happy.

 

[Christie2011]

Leo has been giving me more sleep at night, but he is not sleeping any more during the day. He has been having more trouble sleeping during the day though. He seems to be becoming a lighter sleeper so having him sleeping in the livingroom where Nicholas is playing isn't really working anymore.

Well tomorrow is their first day in day care and my first day back to work. I don't know how I'll get anything done. I'll just be worrying about them until I pick them up.

 

[GettingBroody]

Oh good luck Christie!! Hope it all goes well for you.

So jealous of all your los sttn!! Fia only sleeps for 3-4 hours at a time still...

 

[raelynn]

Haylee slept 8 hours last night. Of course my dog ended up waking me up early instead. She's also had days where she sleeps forever. Just recently we had one where she only woke to feed and then right back to sleep until around 1pm when she finally stayed up for a while.

Christie - I completely understand with going back to work. I go back Wednesday and am dreading it. I know I'm just going to spend all day missing her and worrying about her.

 

[Christie2011]

I get to leave work in just over an hour to get my babies. I can't wait to pick them up and make sure they are OK and get to hold them.

There were no fits from them when I dropped them off, which is good because it would have made me feel worse about leaving them. I got a bit teary in the car though as I drove away.
