The July 2009 Babies

[Jellybean2009]

Good Evening all

I remember that the Due July 2009 pages were very popular and we all made alot of friendships through them.
Now it's been 6 months ish since then I'm wondering how are we all doing with our little bundles, How have the last 6 months been?
How are all the mummies?

It would be nice to see how everyone has been i'm sure like myself you don't get much time to get online

[Logan's Mum]

Ive been looking for a group for parents for babies born in July 2009, only joined after Logan was born so not in a due-date group or anything.
So, hello! :wave: Logan was born 25th July, 6lb 13 oz. Currently trying babyrice (yuck), and banana (YUM), sometimes seems more interested in the spoon than the food on it!

Hi Ladies

Max was born on July 18th (on his EDD), 9lb 3oz, after a very speedy labour. He's six months today and doing great, now 20lbs, his reflux is still persisting but I'm assured it should improve soon... Motherhood is certainly much more of a 24/7 job than I realised but enjoying it. Can't believe how much he smiles. Then again, why not? Our world really does revolve around him! We're just starting solids at the moment, and cutting down the breastfeeding to morning and nights. Max has recently mastered sitting up by himself and standing while holding onto the couch!

Glad to find this thread. Look forward to hearing about the other July bubs. (Must go to bed now, my LO has decided he likes to take most of his milk in the middle of the night lately! Mummy not impressed!)

Poppy Leigh was born on 30th July (1 day early - I was sure she was going to be late and end up an August baby!) and she weighed 6lb 3oz She now weighs just under 14lbs and loves her food (she's never liked her milk - has reflux so is a sicky baby) She has a mop of hair and big blue eyes and she is my world xxx

Hiya to all the July babies, mums & dads xx

Hello!!

Caidan was due 4th July, but like my text buddy Babydance, my bundle of joy made his appearance on 18th June also,weighing 6lbs 3 oz, so he is 7 months today same as Sophie.

He is on 3 meals a day, anything with chicken is his favourite! He says daddy and hiya, cant quite sit unaided yet but nearly there. He gives kisses and cuddles unprompted and holds his arms out for cuddles. He now weighs 17lbs 3 oz and is 69cm long. His eyes are in the process of very slowly changing from blue to either brown or dark green, it's not obvious yet which one! He has no teeth as yet but they are nearly breaking through.

Otter arrived by c section July 20th as he remained breech.

He weighed 8 lbs 14 oz and now at 6 months is about 26 lbs. He had surgery for pyloric stenosis when he was 3 weeks old. It was not fun, but we got through it and he is doing great.

He's now sitting up well, rolling all over the place and babbling all the time. We started BLWing and he LOVES his food! He's still BFed and still wakes every 3 hours around the clock to eat.

And he's already going to be a big brother! OOOPS! His little sis (or bro) will be here in September.

Congrats TigerLady! That's exciting news. Tell me if this is none of my business, but was wondering if you were TTC your second cub or a happy accident? Guess it is a myth that Bfeeding stops ovulation. Hope you're feeling well

 

[Connah'sMommy]

Hi all,hope your LO's are well

My little boy,Connah was born on the 19th julyOnly after a 4 hour labour weighing 8lb8oz.

He's doing great and he is such a good baby.We are on solids and doing pretty well now and he has been sleeping through from 8 weeks.Hitting all his milestones too,i couldnt be more proud.

Only thing he refuses to do is sit upStill plenty of time for that though i guess

Having him weighed today and im guessing he is well over 20lb!

Well Caitlyn had other ideas, I was due 23rd July but she finally came on the 2nd August after a 5 day back to back labour

She was 7lbs 14oz and is now 18lbs.5oz. So growing nicely. She's almost sitting up unaided, says mum and no and has the most naughtiest, cheekiest smile!

5 DAYS!!!!! My goodness Twiglet I also had a back to back labour Oliver was 15 days overdue by the time he was born, after 17 hours of induced labour the doctors said he was failing to progress and getting distressed so i was rushed in for an emergency c-section at 2am i was shattered but so glad he was ok, it was obviously too warm and comfy in there.

It was an accident. We wanted to wait at least another 6 months before TTC. I was exclusively BFing, every 3 hours around the clock -- or more. My cycles came back when Otter was 14 weeks old despite this, so I knew I was ovulating. I was actually BBT charting in hopes of avoiding o. We had an oops and I o'ed 2-3 days later. OOOPPSS!!!!

TBH, I am terrified! haha! But what's done is done!
