Two ppl have just congratulated her on fb so gather all is well :-) hoping we hear from her soon.
 
Abbi I started ttc Jan 2011 too can't decide if it feels like ages ago or 5 seconds ago ha! Ahh sounds like Jake is loving his food - how many milk feeds is he having a day now then? Really struggling trying to get my head round it all!

Hay - Aaron blows raspberries all the time and then shouts dada dada dada! I keep saying mama mama to him but he just responds with dada and laughs ha!

Well I have had my blender out and have started Aaron this week on some tastes! I have been making purees and freezing them and he seems to have taken to food like he has been here and done it all before can't believe it! And gluping milk from the cup inbetween spoonfulls. Just been trying him once a day at lunch time with one veg or fruit and he seems thrilled to bits! Tried him with some baby rice today though and was really un impressed kept turning his head away and spitting it out so offered sweet potato again which he had yesteday and he gulped it!

My hubby is going away tomorrow with work for a week really not looking forward to being on my own in the house :( got all the girls round tomorrow night though and my mums coming for a few days early next week.

Hope to hear from Anna soon xxx
 
The time has flown abbie x
Cant believe esmae is 8 weeks on friday and has 1st injections next week plus consultant appointment.
We are going bowling tomorrow and then buffet at lunch. Oh is off and its so nice to gave extra help. When he works nights i feel like i do everything.
Esmae is well and only has a bit of a sniffle from our colds.
Hope anna is ok xx
 
Kix - that's great! He is obviously ready for it then :D I never tried baby rice with Jake but I hear the nutritional value is pretty low so it's good that Aaron prefers his veggies! ;) Jakey has sweet potato a lot, he loves it. I made sweet potato with cauliflower, tomatoes, cheese and basil this week, he LOVED it! Will be making that one again! ;) I am using the annabel karmel book, it's great! Jake has 5 milk feeds a day...this is pretty much how it is:-

9am - Breast milk followed by baby cereal
1pm - 6oz of formula
5pm - Breast milk followed by dinner and pudding
9pm - 6 oz of formula
3am (ish) - breast milk

I can't tell how much he has during the breastfeeds but I would say in total with the formula he is probably getting around 20oz a day (just).

Jakey has been really slow with the babbling, he makes a lot of noise but nothing that seems like talking. Tonight for the first time he started making conversation type noises so I am hoping that this is the start of it! I am dying to hear him say Mama etc! I hear that Dada is meant to be easier to say, I don't know how true that is but it might make you feel better! hahaha! ;)

My bf has been in Germany since yesterday morning, he is back late tonight though. I had my Mum over yesterday as I hate being alone too. I have never done a week, I don't think I could! :( Just keep yourself busy...you have your friends & Mum so hopefully it won't be too bad. I have been naughty in the past and made Jake sleep in my bed with me so I wasn't on my own - he won't have any of that now, he likes his own space!

Pink - glad she is well! Wow you are super Mum, I could barely get myself dressed when Jake was 8 weeks let alone go out bowling! haha! ;)

xx
 
Aw I know time has flOwn it's mad isn't it! We have been chatting over a year lol!

Pink enjoy bowling! My niece ezmae is coming to visit Saturday can't wait she is 6 weeks Friday.

Aw Kix him saying dada that's cute! Like jakey tho allister just makes a right racket and loves hearing his own voice now but nothing that sounds like any words.
I can't wait til he does though! He really loves rolling about now which is annoying at night cuz he's in sleeping bag he can't get back over lol so whinges!
Enjoy time with your mum and friends Kix :-)
Aaron sounds like he's well ready for food! Allister didn't like baby rice at all either think it's too plain!
Allisters food/bottles now is:

7.30am - bottle where he has anything between 5&8oz
8/9am - breakfast
Between 1&2pm - bottle which he has anything from 2-6oz (really struggle to get him to have this bottle now) I also give him 2 petit filous yoghurt now if he doesn't drink much.
5pm - dinner and pudding
8pm - bottle between 6&8 oz
So some days he is getting the recommended amount others he isn't but the way I see it is that I can't force it down him! He also has juice with his dinner and some swigs around 3pm!
He just really doesn't seem to want his milk in the day! But I do try!


Glad to hear Anna been congratulated on fb. Sure she will update us as soon as she can. Looking forward to hearing from her.

Can't wait to hear her story, its will be so full of her witty charm =o)
 
Thanks Hay and Abbi thats really helpful are you going to increase to 3 meals at some point? Its so confusing my routine with Aaron at the minute is 6 milk feeds a day:

6-7am
10am
12.30pm
3pm
5.30 - 6pm
8pm

I have introduced lunch before a breastfeed from reading Annabel Karmel and was going to add breakfast after a few weeks but thinking maybe I should have done dinner instead of lunch?

Ahh Aaron seems a long way off rolling over he can get on his side but then just falls on to his back again! He hates being on his tummy still too he will only put up with a couple of minutes then starts moaning poor little monkey! Funny how different they all are isn't it!

God just listening to the weather on the tv can't believe how crap it is! I was imagining a long summer off on maternity leave :( I hope we get a good few weeks soon before I go back to work. I want the clock to stop can't cope with how quick the weeks are flying by.

xxxx
 
It's mad how fast they go isnt it Kix.
I started with breakfast then introduced dinner after few weeks. And I will introduce lunch probably by time he is 7-8 months. But I think when I do introduce lunch he won't have milk at 1-2 aswell he will probably just have few swigs!

Hay - Jake struggles with his lunch bottles too. He gets so distracted which doesn't help. I normally manage to get him to take the 6oz though if I persevere. I also do the petit filous thing on a bad day! Have you considered giving him his breakfast straight after his 7.30am milk? He might be hungrier for more milk by lunch time then? You would probably need to make breakfast a little later or lunch a little earlier though.

Kix - I don't think it matters. I did dinner as I was hoping that a full belly would help Jakey sleep. He does sleep better now but I am not sure how much that has to do with it really. I was giving Jake breakfast, lunch and dinner for about a week but he startd to get constipated so now he just has breakfast and dinner, I will probably bring it back in a month or two. If you want to switch to dinner, go for it! I doubt Aaron will notice the difference! ha! I don't think it matters though. Jake was like that with rolling for a few weeks and then one day he just did it. Now he doesn't stop! ha! He is the opposite, constantly on his tummy, he even sleeps on his tummy now (I always put him on his back but he rolls over) And I know, I can't believe Jake is 7 months next week. Scary!

yeah allister is ridiculously nosey and gets easily distracted!! even if i persevere he just doesnt want any of it and pushes it away or hits it out my hand as if to say come on are u not taking the hint! going to try and give him it in his cup though see if makes a difference!

xx
 
haha! that is so funny! Jake is the same breastfeeding, he has a mouthful or two, comes off, looks around and then goes back to it over and over again! It takes ages! ;) Yeah give the cup a try, he might find it entertaining so be more willing!

Can't wait to hear from Anna!

xx
 
i know... as if she is making us wait this long!! :haha:

flower: hi everyone! i came to you ladies before anyone else- not logged on fb so no idea what is on there but i think word got around from my work! was really sweet as even DH was thinking of you as there is no phone signal in the hospital and he said- should i take the log in for your forum to update the girls :haha:

well-we had fun and games and probaly the most ridiculous labour you have ever encountered in which nothing went to plan but the good news is...

Baby Marcus Kane was born on 10th July at 1.06pm weighing 8 lb 10. :cloud9: from start of early labour to delivery was 57 hours and at no one point was I 'normal'.

We finally got admitted at 10pm on Sunday night when I really couldnt take it any more. I was contracting every 1-2 mins lasting 60/90 seconds. Was told I was still just in early labour but since I was in pain they would keep me in so I could get some decent pills and rest and my induction would go ahead the Monday.

Monday morning DH arrives 8 30 am and the doctor comes at 9 am. He examined me and said I was STill only 3 cm and he wouldnt induce and just wanted to wait and see. I was really upset but stayed in as told and we walked around the hospital doing all i could whilst still contracting the same. By about 3 pm Monday afternoon the contractions were unbearable but kept spacing out so they they wouldnt examine me. i put my foot down and insisted as i said i really am moving on and was 6 cm. got moved to labour ward at this point.

got up there and they to put me on the drip thing and had to have constant monitoring which i wasnt happy at as i wanted active birth. as they couldnt get LO to sit still for the FH monitor to record properly they decided to break waters and fit an internal monitor :cry: it took 3 hrs of attempts and they kept saying his head was too hard to fit it but refused me to carry on without it! eventually it went on...

all Monday night- bad contractions. had an epidural and felt brilliant until the other monitor (the contraction one) kept slipping off and htey kept pulling the strap to rest it and eventually pulled the epidural out :growlmad:. i declined a resite as the anesatist said it could be a bit problematic so i took to gas and air which i hated but eventually became addicted to it and some pethadine which made me sick as a dog even wiht anti sickness medicine.

this drama ticked on all monday night and tues morning when i got my new midwives. contractions would come and go in intesity and things but eventually 10am tues morning they checked and I was fully dilated. they increased the drip to max but even then i still didnt get the close contractions your meant to. i felt the need to push about 11 30 ish and they got me pushing.

believe me i pushed with all my might and im in agony now for it! i had a few wobbles of saying i couldnt do it i cant push im afraid im nervous etc etc but i had hte best student mw ever and serioulsy i wouldnt have done it without her. i pushed brilliantly and got the head right down and they could see the head coming nicely and crowning.

next think.....four doctors and another 4 mw come barging in and running around shouting differet things, i go into a panic and wobble and just my student mw kept me calm and i just focused on her. i had to have a cut and forceps as apparently he had turned just at last point and his head was stuck and wouldnt budge hey said there was no way i would be able to push the head then. he was also bigger than they thought and as i was shattered they didnt think i could do much more and wouldnt come any furhter.

the whole thing was a real ordeal but he arrived safe and sound and apparantly i have a real designer vagina worth of stitches!!!! his HR incidently was brilliant throughout and the only damage he has are the terrible scratches form all the attempts to put the monitor on!

he seems to be feeding well and is quite a weird baby so far in that he just seems quite content most of the time. he cant stand his hands being wrapped up and sleeps with his arms above his head or shakes them around. he doesnt wake himself up with it which is quite funny.

andrew is besotted with him and seriously gone soft. im going to put some pics up when i can- its takne me 4 hours to post this in between feeding and waddling about! im in a lot of pain with stitches and seriously feel my insides may fall out at any time! also legs have gone crazy again and im worse off than before had! very strange but apparantly normal-ive contacted my gp about it tho as its gone ridiculous!

hope this made sense it was written in parts!

did anyone have a fear of holding baby? i dont mind holding hima nd seeing to him picking him up etc but im terafied of not holding his neck enough and he keeps wirling round fast so it did fall abck a bit earlier :wacko: xxx
 
First of all congrats you did fantastically well considering how it went. Stitches are awful but better than a c section so give it a week or two and you wont have any pain then. My midwife on my first baby kept telling me what a wonderful job she was doing with my stitching :haha:
He is gorgeous and well done cooking him that bouncy :thumbup: Dont worry bout his neck obviously dont grab him by the legs and frantically shake him throug the air above your head. They wriggle a lot just do ur best to support his neck but i bet everyone has been caught out i have :flower:
So are you bf? Xx
 
Aww Anna massive congrats!!

I have been like a pea on a hot plate waiting for news!

You did fantastic! He is just perfect and I'm sure you are doing amazing!

I second what honey said about their neck! You can't keep them perfectly held 100% of the time!

Take your time and rest up while you heal and just enjoy being a new mummy!

Massive congratulations again! So pleased he is here safe and sound!
