~*Team 2012 Baby*~ ladies arriving from our TTC #1 Team 2012 find your friends here!

likeaustralia - He is adorable! I can't believe how big the kiddos are all getting!

Skeet - Yea... shes not enjoying it one bit. I am just trying different things, mainly distractions, to get her through it. // Sleep is a tricky thing, hoping he sleeps longer for you soon! We just went through a regression so I am catching up as we speak.

 

[likeaustralia]

skeet, don't worry. he'll get there. It may take time, I won't lie to you on that, but as others will tell you, most 5 year olds don't wake up 10 times a night.

Ethan slept like crap as a very young baby and then GREAT from 3-5 months and then after that, it went out the window. He's just now starting to sleep better with only 1-2 wakings until morning. On the second (or sometimes the first...), I usually bring him into bed with us so he'll sleep until we're ready to get up.

 

[likeaustralia]

army, I can't believe it either. He's looking like a little boy and not a baby anymore!

 

[armywife11]

So planning our first plane trip.. wish me luck! lol

 

[Wilsey]

What do you ladies think? Girl or boy?
(sorry, not the best quality)

 

[Bug222]

Skeet- Huge congrats- sorry I am so late, I don't get on here all that much. Carson is gorgeous! Iain pretty much only slept on my chest until he was about 3 months old. Then like Likeaustralia he started to sleep great in his bassinet from about 3-6 months, then it all went downhill again. He is now getting better again and only waking up once around 4am. Cuddle away!!!

JChic- I hope you are doing well and those little ones are still cooking.

Wilsey- I say boy

 

[armywife11]

First glance I thought boy as well.

 

[Wilsey]

Yay! We're hoping for another boy! Fingers crossed

 

[rosabelle]

oh my goodness, i just caught up on the last almost months worth of posts! finding it hard to sit and get on the computer these days!!

Skeet: Congratson the birth of your little boy!

Haj and like Aus: your little cherubs are so gorgeous!

Well we have a bit of news too, i am now almost 8 weeks pregnant!
A complete suprise but very happy of course.
So we will have 2 under 17 months!

lil Rosa is now 'comando' crawling everywhere, she is about to get her third tooth, loves her food and we are attempting to leave her sleep in her own bed.

We had her sleeping with us for some time, more becuase it was convenient for feeds and she slept so well but with a new baby on the way i figure im going to need that space soon! my tummy got so large with rosa so i know we wouldnt all fit..

How is everyone else? How are our pregos going? hope your all well! x

 

[rosabelle]

Little miss talking on her 'shoe phone' haha so cheeky!

 

[likeaustralia]

Aww love the update, rosabelle and congratulations on the new arrival!!! I think we have two with another on the way here now!

Ethan had his 9-month checkup yesterday and all was stellar until the hemoglobin check. His levels are slightly low, so he is slightly anemic. Apparently this is quite common for premature babies since iron stores are built up in the last months/weeks of pregnancy. He has no symptoms though, so while I am worried, I'm not SUPER worried. I got some floravital to get some supplemental iron into him and plan to up his iron via food too. I really don't want to go the fer-in-sol route, so please wish us luck on getting it up naturally!

 

[likeaustralia]

So planning our first plane trip.. wish me luck! lol

Missed this the other day, army. Good luck!!!

We aren't going on a plane, but we are going for a week-long vacation to the beach about 6/7 hours drive away mid-May. I'm expecting it to be fun, but we might need a bit of luck too.

Good luck on your drive! We chose to fly because it was going to be a 3 or 4 day drive for us which would have been close to 9 hours in a car each day. Decided a 3 hour flight would be better in the end lol

 

[skeet9924]

I'm just curious if any of you experienced constipation with your babies.. Carson is being breast fed and is a month old tomorrow.. He has not gone poo in 3 days and wakes up a lot due to gas pains

 

[Wilsey]

Congrats Rosa!!!

We''ll have to keep each other sane, I'll have an 18 month old and new born when the new one comes along! Crazy!

 

[skeet9924]

oh wow rosa I missed your post !! COngrats!!

Wilsey- i think boy too!

Oh yeah, anything longer than what we're doing and we'd have to fly! I think you made the right choice. We do this length drive semi-regularly as my parents live about the same distance away, but the opposite direction, so it's not totally new to us, but he changes so frequently, I have no idea how he'll respond one day to the next sometimes! That being said, we are going up to my parents this weekend and then to the beach a few weeks after that. Hopefully he decides he likes the car.

I don't think breastfed babies get constipation. It is normal for them to go days without a poo though. My little one has gone a week a few times. Edit** I think anything over 14 days your suppose to contact your doctor. This is a COMMON topic on the breastfeeding board! lol I hope one of these works for you.

There are massages you can do to help them pass gas and I swore by gas drops. She grew out of it around 3 months.

Not sure if you can see this video or not... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7akZb16ZGsU

 

[rosabelle]

Thankyou it is going to be hectic hey Wilsey! My little one will just be 17 months so have to find a new pram to fit them both, have you looked into any yet?
I am thinking the new steelcraft strider compact, i have heard lots of good things about it.
You guys have some good phil & teds ones over in NZ hey? I have hears they arent bad either.

Good luck LikeAus, fingers crossed his levels go up soon x

 

[skeet9924]

Thanks for the video army!! Ill try that massage for sure.. Lol why do they never use screaming babies for the videos.. I watched a bathing video the other day and the baby looked so happy.. My little guy screams the entire bath.. And massage after !! He doesn't calm down until I feed him after
