Those TTC for awhile.

Can you believe our babies are hitting/soon to hit double figures in AGE?! Feels like just yesterday we were counting those in our pregnancies :D

Poor little bjorn with his crying :( Its not easy is it when they are upset.

We went on holiday and ended up having to rush back for an emergency scan after a call from the consultant. Good news is he DOESNT have the malrotation which is a weight off. We are just trying to battle through the reflux problems and the milk issues. He is on a special milk that is god awful and is so thin it spends more time coming back up than being digested. No way around it though.

Waiting also on the specialist appointment with the gastro team about the reflux. Hes on a battery of meds and still not under control :(

Sarah I'm so sorry! Sounds like your having such a tough time! Poor little Alex! Your a great mummy for dealing with all that!
I won't moan when Bjorn cries now! It seems like nothing to be moaning about anymore.
10 weeks old today xx
 
Dont be silly chick! Its all stress!!

Happy 10wks little man!! Cant believe mine is 9wks today too :D Our little men are growing so fast!

Is he any more settled?

Alex is a little more settled today. Hes started on a new version of one his meds which seems to be helping. We were having to break up a tablet and disolve it to give it to him because they dont like prescribing the liquid version as it can cost hundreds of quids apparently. Our doc took pity and has allowed us to switch to it at a cost of £289 a bottle!!! MENTAL! Even more so that it has to be chucked away every 28 days and a new one made for him. Easier to keep it down tho bless him.

Also think he is now getting along much better with his allergy milk..much less throwing up and seems a bit more settled in himself. We just had 4 very long and painful days with wind on it, but that seems to have passed too.

Alex also celebrated hitting his 2 months by holding his rattle for himself for the first time and smacking himself in the face with it..proper proud moment!!

Tina/fay..how you two getting on? x
 
im ttc , for three yrs and im 41, im so afraid that time ran out or is running out :(
 
Baby Kash is doing great! He's growing so fast...15 lbs already! Such a good baby I forget he's there sometimes and have to think, ok, which baby thingy did I set him in. Very welcome change from #1. (Though I love #1 just as dearly) Aden is growing and maturing so well and behaving so well. Things have really settled here and get this......DH just said today that he wouldn't mind a third! So, if he still feels the same next year, I would like to try for another.
Sarah, hope you are getting on better now, baby should be getting close to 12 weeks now? Once you get to that 3 month mark these reflux/colic problems may settle a bit as babies tummy matures a bit. Could be till 6 months before it completely goes as I think 6 months is when the "valve" between the stomach and esophagus closes. Keep on with what dr's tell you to do and I bet he feels better and better as time goes on.
Rooster, how's baby doing?
Faythe, how's yours? Getting close to toddlerhood now right?
 
Aww Tina thats fab news! So glad that they are going so well...we need a new piccie!

Oh wow how exciting about a third! How do you feel about it? :D I hope you go for another!

Thanks so much for the info hun! Yep, Alex is 11wks on Wednesday :) His reflux is already starting to settle thank god but think thats down to the meds. We have managed to reduce one of them though which is fab! It seems that his reflux was being made worse by his milk allergy so now hes on allergy milk I think thats really helped get the reflux under control.

We need more updates ladies! x
 
So glad to hear he is getting better Sarah!
More pics please girls!
Think Bjorn is about 15lbs now! Big baby! 12 weeks old yesterday! Still EBF!
He slept from 11pm-6am last night! Xx

Sarah he is adorable!! Love him! Wish he could meet Bjorn <3
Yes we are the same NTNP, not really having sex anyway as we are both always so tired!!
Would love to have another, maybe not just yet! But after the amount of time it took last time will just think we are blessed if it happens again!
This is the month I conceived Bjorn last year! Xx

Ok, here's the latest pic. He's growing so fast! I would love another...just not quite yet. Maybe in another year. Though I am not taking the pill anymore and just doing NFP. It's so weird to be charting, only for the opposite reason now.

Oh good, glad meds and formula are helping him. It will only get easier from here!! And your next one may not have any problems. I think it's much easier to have the "tougher" baby first and the easy baby next as then you have more time to help baby feel better.

Yeah they could be great pals! Cause mischief when they are older :D

I hear you on the tired issue lol. I told Matt to start watching porn cos I seriously cant be bothered half the time lol. Its weird to think back this time last year..sex occupied most of my thoughts and now I hope that I can get to bed without having to have it lol..im so romantic!

Cant believe it was a whole year ago hun!! x

Oh my goodness he is soooo cute!! What handsome little men we ladies have! Still have to smile that we didnt produce one single girl among us :haha: Its crazy to think hes heading towards 5 months old. When/have you started with the weaning?

I hear you on the charting thing. I started again too...even bought opks to find my window so we can make the choice whether to dodge it or not...weird place to be in after all we girls have been through to get to where we are now!

I think you are so right about the tougher baby first. I was just saying this to Matt the other day about how our next isnt guarenteed to have these issues and how it would probably feel like a breeze after being thrown in the deep end! He really is so much different now that his issues are under control. We met his Paed for his gastro issues today at the hospital and the consultant is amazing. He is so happy with the progress Alex is making so we dont have to have any more procedures done! yay!

God its so hot here. I constantly worry about Alex overheating...is it winter yet!? xx

Thank you hun! :hugs:

Another would be great :D Though its Matt that is more hell bent on getting me pregnant at the moment. Im thinking I need more time, what with the start we had with Alex etc! x
 
Hopefully I Won't be pregnant again too soon!
I know the heat is unreal! Bjorn is sleeping in a nappy only at night and I didn't even get him dressed today! Kept him indoors most of the time! I am getting a tan for the first time in years! X

haha, i know! i was so sure you would have a girl too, with how sick you were. i'm formula feeding so no weaning. i tried his first solid a couple weeks ago but he's not ready yet. i'll try again in another couple weeks.

i'm using my leftover opk's! still haven't ov'd yet, but i think i messed my cycle all up going off the pill so quickly. but that's ok too considering we are trying NOT to get pregnant right now. still is weird to me, i keep thinking, so there's not fun testing for a bfp at the end of this cycle.

yep, it happens to 1 in 4 babies, so your odds are in your favor. we figure we can have 2 more and then we take our chances with a 5th being colicky bwahahahaha.

i hear ya! and your body could use some time to recover as well. they say minimum 6 months, 18 months between pregnancies is ideal to get your maternal stores back up. i don't think we will wait 18 months between though. dh said to me, if we are gonna do it, let's do it now and i'm like, ahhhhhh, i still haven't fully recovered yet or lost the baby weight! i'm thinking when kash is a year old i'd like to start trying again. i've been taking extra vitamins to help get my stores back up till then
