[bunnywabbit]

So exciting, little lunasa! I bet things are insanely hectic for you but must be so exciting to meet your little girl at last! I hope all goes well. x

[Mumto3boys]

Hello all...just wanted to let you know that aidansmum had Lil Anya yesterday morning healthy and beautiful Lil girl...I'm sure she'll be posting soon x

[gafan]

Good luck LittleLunasa!

[momof3boyz11]

Yay! Congrats AM on your little girl!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Congrats aidensmum!

And goodluck little lunasa. 😊

[maybebabythree]

Congratulation aidensmum!

[dreams529]

Good luck Little Lunasa! Congrats again AM!

Dr. tried to strip the membrane on Mon had contractions all night but than they stopped. Going back tomorrow for an ultrasound & hoping I will be sent to the hospital from there. I swear this kid may be my most stubborn one yet!

[from2to3]

Congrats AM!!

Good luck Lunasa!!

Dreams, hope things get going for you!

I had an apt yesterday and now I'm a little nervous. I'm 3 cm and half thinned already. I'll be 36 wks Saturday. Hope this lil one stays in a couple more weeks!!

Passed some tests of fetal well-being today. I am relieved (I don't want to induce yet). I hope the baby is ready by Wednesday at latest because my doula goes on vacation on Thursday and I'd have a backup I've not met. They'll induce Friday if not before.
The nursery is almost finished, and I'm recovering well from a turned ankle.
I can't believe I'll have a baby in my arms this time next week!

[GreaseMonkey]

Lunasa, how exciting, hope to see an update from you soon!!

AM, congratulations hon!!

We need more baby pics everyone lol Emah is doing well, we are hoping she gets to come home by the end of next week depending on her weight and if she can maintain her temperature. Other than that, nothing much going on here, 1 more week until my hubby gets back from Africa! Haven't seen each other since we got back from London.

[Bigwish]

GM, sounds good, hun! Hope your family is reunited at home soon!!

I can't leave a baby pic here, she's still in my belly ;-)

Can't wait to finally meet my little girl! I think she is beyond what i expect!

[dreams529]

Hi all been a very stressful week. Not feeling well & labor has started than stopped several times. Had an ultrasound on Fri & baby looks great & is estimated at 8lb 9oz. Dr was not as concerned with his weight as I was & sent me back home. Have the Dr again tomorrow & I will be officially past my due date really hoping he will send me right to the hospital. Evidently this little one isn't as ready as I am to be born!

[Little Lunasa]

Sorry it took so long for me to post, just home from the hospital today. Thank you everyone for the good wishes, it was a long labour but surprisingly easy at the end! (and worth it of course!)

20026

Eliana Evie, born 25th July, 8 pounds 1 ounce
Her two brothers adore her, I think she will be a very spoiled girl :)

[GreaseMonkey]

Lunasa, she is absolutely gorgeous honey!!!! So glad you guys are home form the hospital :)

Dreams, I am so sorry, I hope the Dr sends you for an induction at your appointment if labor hasn't started on it's own!!

Bigwish, not long for you now, pretty soon you will be holding your little one in your arms :)

[aidansmum]

Hi girls, came back from the Hospital yesterday to read such lovely messages and good wishes and to see Lunasa's beautiful baby Ellie. She is gorgeous, congrats!
Our little Anya was born on 22.7 at 8:02am via C-section, it was all very quick and uncomplicated. Even though I pushed the CS past 39 weeks she was born tiny! She measured 45cm, weighed 2.558kg at birth and is the sweetest little thing. They checked my placenta and said all was normal, and Anya is perfect, just a tiny baby, she was the smallest full term one in the ward. This is our tiny little Princess :)

Lunasa en AM! Congrats on your healthy baby girls!

AM, goes to show gaining weight has nothing to do with birth weight, right ;-)

What beautiful baby girls!!!

I am still waiting to go into labor. This baby likes to sleep a lot and is not in a hurry to make an appearance. I hope he is this relaxed out in the world. While I'm not exactly eager to go through labor I really feel ready for this little one to arrive. I hope he comes soon.

[aidansmum]

AM, i'm proof as well... Gaining 17 and 21 kg with my boys and currently 21 with this one... Boys were 3,5 and 3,3 kg. Curious to see the weight of this little girl...
I'll keep you posted ;-)

[maybebabythree]

Oh such cuties!! Congratulations Lunasa and Aidens mum - making me broody!!!

[GreaseMonkey]

Snips, what a gorgeous little girl!!!! She is so precious :awe:

[GreaseMonkey]

Gafan, sending labor vibes your way!!! Hope little one makes an appearance soon!

[bunnywabbit]

Lunasa and Aidansmum your little ladies are gorgeous, congrats! So cute.

[gafan]

Keep sending those labor vibes please!

I hope you are all well. All the babies will be home soon, if not already : )

[GreaseMonkey]

Look who is home!!! After 5 weeks and 1 day Emah was released from the hospital yesterday!! Boys are in love :) 20113

[Bigwish]

Yeah!!! Finally home! So happy for you!

[Bigwish]

Gafan! Aren't they going to induce you, yet? Wow, 42 weeks!

[maybebabythree]

GM - So tiny and cute!

I am being induced tomorrow. Will be 38 weeks. Baby isn't growing great and my fluids are too low. Looks like my kidneys aren't working too well either so could be the start of pre eclampsia again

[Bigwish]

Maybe, good luck!!! Hope everything will go smoothly!

Nicolas Damon was born August 3 at 4:33pm... he was 9 lbs 6 oz and 22 in, very attentive, healthy and sweet. We ended up with a cesarean delivery.... baby is very healthy and I'm recovering well. It is so challenging to learn to breastfeed and take care of him while recovering from the surgery! He is beautiful, and I'm glad he's finally arrived.

[Bigwish]

Congrats on your healthy babyboy, Gafan!

Hope you're feeling better soon! Take care!

Congrats Gafan!! Heal quickly and enjoy your new precious bundle. Keep at the breast feeding, might be difficult and sore at first but before you know it, it will be second nature! Good luck :)

[aidansmum]

Little Anya is feeding really well. I had breast surgery in the past and was told I can't produce enough milk for her but she is having almost all of her feeds of expressed breastmilk and only 1-2 formula bottles. Very happy about that! She put on 500g in 6 days and is getting chubby. DH had to buy premmie clothes for her as the NB ones were too big! I am having the best time of my life and enjoying every minute (maybe not the sleep deprivation, but even that is a blessing, as long as she's thriving).

Momof3 - precious babies :)

Maybe - how are you coping? Hope everything turned out ok!!

[Bigwish]

Mumto3, congrats on your healthy baby girl! She's beautiful!
Sounds like a perfect delivery to me!

I'm still waiting for labour to start.
One of my favorite midwifes is on call for the next 48 hours so who knows?
My second was born at home (in 4 hours)! Hope my third will too! (I'm from the netherlands, where about 25% of babies is born at home).

[GreaseMonkey]

Yeah!!! Finally home! So happy for you!

Thanks honey :)

Momof3 that's just way too cute!!! Emah turned 7 weeks yesterday already!!! Her due date is next Tuesday lol

[aidansmum]

Momto3, she is so adorable! And what a big girl! Well done! Congrats!
Momof3, they are gorgeous! xo

Anya is finally filling her newborn clothes at 3 weeks! She is feeding well and even with my breast lift in the past I'm still producing all of her feeds with 4 more to spare!!! Very happy about that! Problem is, she got used to the bottle and is very lazy on the breast. I'm seeing a lactation consultant and trying to get Anya back on the breast. She will latch, suck on for 5 minutes, then sleep, wake up, another 5, sleep, it's a time consuming job breastfeeding her, I am trying as I would love for her to be breastfed only, but if she doesn't get more into the boob I might have to put her on formula because expressing is taking so much of my time! :( Really hope she cooperates!

[aidansmum]

maybebaby, hope all is well xx

[maybebabythree]

Sorry for the late post. been busy here. I finally had my lovely daughter after almost seven years of loging for her. I was on ig doing all kinds of things like egs etc and now she is here after no swaying at all. Will post a pic and bs when im not feeding her. hope your all doing well xx

[Mrs_Incredible]

Congratulations maybe! After our ig journey and our gorgeous ds3's, I'm so incredibly happy for you getting your dream :) Hugs xx

[GreaseMonkey]

Congratulations Maybe, I can't wait to see pictures of your beautiful daughter :)

[aidansmum]

Congrats maybe! A dream come true! x

[Bigwish]

Our daughter Fleur is born yesterday!!!

I had a beautiful homebirth (very intense at the end but that was only for half an hour).

She's absolutely beyond perfect and we're all so in love with her!

We're doing fine!

20429

[sweetdream]

Congratulations Bigwish!!! She looks perfect indeed! She had a good time with you!

[emmake]

Bigwish, congrats with your Fleur!!!! She's so gorgeous, enjoy these very precious moments xxx Very beautiful name, she'll be the flower of your life xxxx

[gafan]

Nicolas often sucks for just a few minutes and then sleeps. He's done that a lot today, so he is both hungry and sleepy all day. Learning to breastfeed after the surgery has been challenging for both of us, but we're getting there. Nicolas will be 2 weeks old today!

[gafan]

20432

[Girlwish]

Woohoo Bigwish! Congratulations on your absolutely beautifull girl!!!!!! How does it feel now you can hold her for real?!!! I am so happy for you!

[gafan]

Congratulations Bigwish- she's a lovely baby. And Fleur is such a beautiful, sweet name for her!

[Bigwish]

Thanks all!

We're doing great here. She's such a sweet baby. She sleeps, she drinks, looks around her and goes to sleep again. She's almost back on her birth weight also. Struggling with an oversupply but hope i can manage to avoid mastitis this time around.

Gafan, what a precious boy Nicolas is!

[emmake]

Bigwish, how does it feel finally getting your DD? I just cant imagine how it feels, probably unreal? Big higs to you and your precious DD xxx

[Little Lunasa]

Congratulations maybebaby and bigwish on the birth of your daughters!

Jaxten Henry was born Aug 18, at 11:15 PM. He was my fastest delivery yet (barely). Got my first contractions a few min before 9:00 PM, arrived at hospital a few min after 10:00 PM and he was here at 11:15 PM. <3

20528

[GreaseMonkey]

Congratulations bigwish, she is absolutely beautiful :)

Gafan, what a handsome young man you have there!!! He is so precious, congratulations :)

From2to3, love the name!!!! Congratulations on your handsome son, so glad you had a fast delivery :)

[GreaseMonkey]

So, who is still preggo?

[bunnywabbit]

Congrats, from2to3, he's gorgeous! He definitely wanted out, good timing little guy! I'd imagine you didn't have time for pain relief? I didn't - he was born in 2.5 hours too, although I used a little gas and air to help as he came out with his fist by his face. x

[from2to3]

Bunnywabbit - ouch! Lol! No, I didn't use any pain medication, wasn't planning on it. I'm one of those stubborn ones that likes to go all natural :) I just like to get it over with as quickly as possible, and then be able to get up and walk right away. Luckily I've never had to deliver a 10 pounder with a 16 inch head ;)

How is everyone else and their babies?!

[aidansmum]

Congratulations bigwish, she is so cute!

[aidansmum]

From2to3, what a gorgeous, alert little man! Congratulations!

[aidansmum]

20432

he's so cute! So peaceful. What kind of surgery gafan, if you dont mind me asking?

[aidansmum]

Little Anya is now 5 weeks old and finally caught up with a newborn's weight :) She's 3.680kg. Can't get enough of her. I also got a smile yesterday!!! :)
20611

[bunnywabbit]

Aww she's so cute! Looks so much like her mummy x

[atomic sagebrush]

What a lot of gorgeous bubs in this thread! :heart:

[gafan]

aidansmum, I was just referring to the cesarean delivery. I'm recovering well, I think. It's really nice to be going up and down the stairs as often as I need to now.
Today Nicolas had an especially cute afternoon and evening. He'll be four weeks old on Sunday.

[gafan]

Anya is so cute!

I see! I thought you were talking about breast surgery as I had, which interfered with BF. Enjoy your little Nicolas! They do grow so fast! x

[Bigwish]

Congrats 2to3, with your lovely son Jaxton! Looks like he's alert indeed! I didn't see the eyes of my little girl before one day after giving birth! She felt asleep immediately (or continued sleeping LOL) right after she was born and she is still sleeping most of the time (luckily, like most baby's do, i was already afraid to have a second restless, crying baby like my second...).

Hope you're all enjoying this special time with your LO's, like i am. They grow up soooo fast.

[gafan]

Jaxton is adorable: ) and what a sweet, peaceful look he has on his face.

[aidansmum]

Hi girls! Just touching base to see how everyone's going? We're well here, Anya is sleeping pretty well at night, last night from 9:30pm-3am, then from 3:40-6:30, so not too bad for a 6 week old I guess. She is very spoiled during the day though and resists like naps like crazy! I finally threw in the towel with breastfeeding and decided to put her on formula as it was getting way too stressful, after 3 days of engorgement and leaking like a tap, milk is finally drying, it made me very sad to stop but she wouldn't take the breast too well and was always hungry and I was pumping around the clock to feed her, too much work! Things are settling though and dare I say we are getting into some sort of routine. DS is finally adapting and stopping being so naughty. He's been driving me nuts the last few weeks! But he is a little helper and does help me with her, which is sweet. Hope you ladies and bubbas are all well x.
20802

[GreaseMonkey]

Love her!!!!! So glad things are settling down for you guys! I had to put Emah on formula too because it was getting too stressful and with having to travel to and from the NICU every other day was too much. I EPed for 6 weeks and then I finally dried up!!
Things are going well here too. We have been running into trouble as far as trying to go back to Africa so there is a good possibility that the kids and I might have to go back alone without hubby and that is going to be stressful. With 20 days to go I don't see how we are going to accomplish everything and get tickets to go back on the 27th :(

[aidansmum]

Emah is such a cutie, I see her pictures and I feel like giving her a cuddle :), I'm glad she's doing so well. I also expressed for 6 weeks, but the heartbreaking thing is having more than enough milk and letting it dry! I cried for 2 days trying to accept that decision, but I was tired and DS wasn't having the best of me because of all the expressing, no time for him at all! So I believe it was the best decision. It was pretty painful for 2-3 days, but now it's practically all gone even though I still give her the breast for soothing and she still gets something out of it, she uses it as a dummy as sleeps straight away :)

It sounds like it's about to get very hectic for you, you've waited so long for DH to come home and now you have to leave without him? That sucks! :( hope all goes well x

[gafan]

Hello friends,
I'm glad that some of you are still posting, and I hope we can continue to keep in touch.
It is hard to believe that 6 weeks ago I was just about to go to the hospital to be induced. Nicolas will be 6 weeks old on Sunday!
The days are going fast, and he keeps getting bigger and his baby hair is falling out. He is smiling now : )

[Little Lunasa]

Hi girls sorry I haven't been on much, life is quite busy now as I know you all understand. It's great to hear that all the babies here are doing well.
Aidansmum I am in the same boat as you with the daytime naps! Anya is gorgeous :)
Eliana is doing great, but likes to be held ALL the time so it's difficult to get her to sleep for very long in the day. I'm breastfeeding so she uses me as a soother most of the time.
GreaseMonkey Emah has got so big :) I hope the stress levels go down for you soon
Gafan, those first smiles are precious aren't they :)

I really hope we keep in touch, we shared some very special times here together, even from afar.
Isn't it priceless when they give us that cute little smile? It's pure bliss! Anya is also all smiley and cooing a lot, DH always hears it through the monitor and rushes to catch her 'speaking' but usually arrives too late :) Ge got a coo tonight though before going to work on night shift and that made him pretty happy! Did Nicolas get his immunisations yet? I took Anya 2 weeks ago and she had a hard time with the Rotavirus one! She's finally coming good now. Post more pictures girls, I love to see our bubbies progress! x

OMG Lunasa, she is gorgeous! I LOVE her hair! How cute is that :)
I hear you my friend, my back screams at the end of the day, even though Anya isn't that heavy, we weighed her today, she's weighing 4.350kg for 8 weeks, but she looks quite chubby! Her tummy doesn't like formula :( She's been miserable the last two weeks since I stopped BF, we tried 3 different ones and thank goodness the last one, Aptamil Gold HA seems to be more gentle on her tummy, but it got me back expressing to see if I can build supply again and give her EBM for a bit longer, it will be hard but one can only try.

[Bigwish]

Hi all, like your posts!

Sorry to hear anya has such cramps. Hope you can manage to relactate! Gl!

We're doing really well here. Little Fleur put on about a kg i geuss. She's now 4,5 weeks and started to laugh a couple of days ago. So so cute!

Aww hope her little tummy improves, you just want to kiss them and make it better don't you :) have you considered a pumping bra? Then you can get on with other things while you're expressing :)

What a cutie! :) I melt with all those gorgeous pictures! It's so special when they start to smile, enjoy momma :)

[aidansmum]

Aww hope her little tummy improves, you just want to kiss them and make it better don't you :) have you considered a pumping bra? Then you can get on with other things while you're expressing :)

Never heard of it! Opening google now... :) Thanks...

[aidansmum]

Just had a look, you are still attached to the pump though arent you...that's my biggest problem, I am managing to pump about 5-6 times a day and once overnight, it's the third day since I started from dry again, I got a measly 20ml this morning :( I am having motilium, they say it takes 2 weeks to work.....let's see.

Try taking Funugreek as a supplement, I found it brilliant for increasing my supply :)

[snipsnsnails]

Hi girls! It was nice to hear everyone is doing so well. I LOVE all the baby pictures, they are so cute and just want to hug them all. We are doing well here. Baby M is about 3.5 months old and I'm enjoying every second. She still gets up 1-2 times a night, and starting to wear on me, but I know these moment don't last forever. She is starting to prop up on her elbows sometimes and loves to smile, laugh. The boys still adore her. Here she is. I hope everyone keeps in touch.

[bunnywabbit]

Hi all, sorry I've been MIA! Jamie is 14 weeks today, 14lb and growing like a weed! He has loads of space in his 3-6 month sleepsuits, but the feet are already snug. He has his daddy's big feet.

We're working through colic and reflux, although the colic seems to be sorting itself out. Have tried him on all kinds of meds for reflux, none of which work. Sticking with the gripe water which is the least worst option. He still pukes acid, but at least he's a happy puker rather than screaming in pain with it. Thinking I'm going to wean him early and hope it works. He hates tummy time with a passion. Thinking it may be because of the reflux, but will lie there and scream, even when using a rolled up towel to prop him up. We're working on it, but feel sorry for him, poor little guy. That aside, he's a smiley, chatty, cheeky little guy. He'll eat around 22:00-23:00 and will go down until around 06:00, change and feed, back down around 07:00 and up again around 09:30 so not bad at all, I guess. Could still sleep for England but that's nothing new for me!

What a gorgeous baby's in this thread!

[aidansmum]

Snips, she is absolutely gorgeous! Not wonder the big brothers are crazy about her!

Bunny, I feel your pain, Aidan had very bad reflux and projectile vomited 4 out of his 6 daily feeds! It only got better when I put him on the APtamil AR formula! It's really thick and it stays in, but he would still vomit 1 -2 feeds, just not projectile! Not easy! At least he is a 'happy' puker, Aidan was too, Anya brings up a little bit of milk, she's not a very pukey baby, and complains like the world is gonna end lol He's a good little sleeper too, that's good. Anya is doing the same, one feed at about 3ish and then waking up at 7, feeding and sleeping again until 9:30, can't complain! LAst night she slept from 9:30pm to 7am straight though! I woke up with a startle and checked on her because I was worried lol she was just sound asleep and I ended up waking her up, silly momma :)

[gafan]

It is so good to see the beautiful baby pictures!
Nicolas slept about 7 hours last night and has slept nearly that long a couple times. I'm still waking up at least once a night leaking or needing to pump.
He hasn't had shots yet, and I'm kind of dreading that appointment. I might just stay up all night after his shots watching him to make sure he's ok.
He'll be 7 weeks today : )

Anyone any tips on how to get her to sleep without being on the boob? lol
She refuses a pacifier and will fight sleep as long as she can, until she is so wrecked she can't keep her eyes open anymore

[odd]

Soooooo precious.... Those lashes :awe::awe::awe:

[bunnywabbit]

Oh my goodness, those lashes! So pretty...

Have you tried singing softly to her? Jamie liked being rocked and having his bottom gently patted.

She's such an angel, and yes, those lashes, any grown up girl would envy her :) As to what to do to get her not to sleep on the boob I've heard you get them off right before they are sound asleep, I guess it was in a book called 'the no crying sleep solution, but I never tried. DS1 was the same and I ended up co-sleeping because it was the only way I could get some sleep.

[Bigwish]

Lunasa, i envy her lashes!! Wow!

My second son needed my boob to fall asleep untill he was 17 months. Unless you have problems with it, it isn't bad AT all and really good to keep your supply up. It's non-nutritive feeding and very normal for baby's. But i know from my own experience it can be exhausting. Once i just accepted it, i became more relaxed.

My daughter doesn't need my boobs for falling asleep and doesn't even want to suck when she couldn't fall asleep (which is seldom the case fortunately). I carry her in a wrap then. Have you tried it? A woven one for summer works really well inside the house (h.oppediz 'das l.eichte' for example)

[snipsnsnails]

Lunasa, those eyelashes! So adorable. My little girl won't take a paci either. She does like to nurse to sleep which I let her at night. During the day she is on a eat wake sleep schedule, so shes awake after feedings. We then play and when ready for nap we rock, pat back all the soothing stuff.
I used that schedule with my boys and I think it helps nighttime sleep. She is now sleeping thru the night.
One thing I've learned with 4 kids, sleep makes them sleep. If they don't nap much they will be up at night...hope that helps! Enjoy her.

Thanks Bunny, yes have tried that but as soon as I stop she wakes! Such a light sleeper

Yes she ends up spending half the night in my bed with me, I'm finding it works at the moment but am a little worried about breaking the habit down the line. Thanks AM :)

Gosh 17 months well done you! I only managed 6 months with my first two and prob will be the same with this LO
Yes I have a 'je Porte mon bebe' sling but so far she won't tolerate it, doesn't seem to like the tightness of it and screams lol

Thanks Snips, yes totally agree that sleep generates more sleep. I haven't heard of eat wake sleep schedule, it seems almost the opposite to what I'm used to, I must google and find out more!

Nicolas doesn't like the Maya sling wrap I've been trying to put him in. He wails and wants to get out. Once he settled and fell asleep but I don't know what was different that time. I'll keep trying. Today I took him to the grocery store for the first time and just propped his car seat in the cart. I was a little jealous of the moms whose little ones were content to be worn in slings.
He's been a handful the past couple of days but also absolutely adorable.
Tomorrow is my first day back at work, and I'm only going to go in one day a week the first two weeks and then two days for awhile. I'm fortunate to be able to set my own schedule, and my husband works from home those days so he'll be with Nicolas. Still it will be hard to leave him for eight hours.
Today we did "Mommy and Me Yoga" which was fun.

[dreams529]

Hi all! Sorry I have been MIA forever! Things got SO busy after Myles was born. He was born on 7/31 a couple of days late & a super big baby at 10lb 3oz & 22in. I am trying to attach a picture hope it works for some reason this computer gives me problems.

Hope all of you are doing good. I will try to catch up on past posts but little man is not a fan of sleeping during the day. He sleeps great at night though so I can't really complain he just doesn't leave me much time to get anything else done esp w/how busy I am with the older kids.

Can't believe I'm saying this but he has been so perfect DH & I are actually considering trying one more time. Haven't decided for sure yet but I don't feel done so we will see. Looking forward to catching up with you all!

He is so cute! I know how you feel, Anya sleeps like a rock at night, like 7-8 hours straight, but during the day it's all catnaps and demanding attention non stop! How exciting you are planning to have more kids! Brave girl! DH was telling me the other day that maybe getting my tube ligation was a mistake and I said 'nooo, not me, I'm done mate!' :)

OMG, I have also been MIA but look at these babies!!!!! Our thread have THE most beautiful babies on here, hands down!!!

I can't believe 2014 is coming to an end soon. I for once am so happy it is, this has been the worst year so far and even with the birth of Emah it still doesn't erase all the pain, suffering and heartache I experienced with Kristofer's accident. I am so thankful to all of you for standing by me through those difficult days, you all have supported me more than you will ever know so thank you :heart: My journey also ends, I will be coming here every once in a while but not as often as we are now back in Africa and things are settling down. I am also on FB if anyone wants to keep in touch on a more personal way :) https://www.facebook.com/maria.alabama

He's beautiful. My Nicolas was 22 inches, too. But nearly a pound less than Myles (9lbs 6 oz). He's sleeping pretty well through most nights.I guess that's a benefit of a bigger baby. Sometimes i wish Nicolas was smaller, my back and arm muscles are really sore some days : ) And it makes him seem so much older.
Tomorrow we take Nicolas for his first set of shots and we'll find out how much he weighs. He was 12lbs and 24 inches five weeks ago so I bet he's nearly 15 now!

[gafan]

All the babies are so sweet and beautiful. It seems like ages ago that we were swaying and guessing at ultrasound pictures. I am grateful to have shared and received support from you all over the past year. Thank you! Goodbye to those who are signing off.

I agree this has been an amazing ride & I am so grateful I have had you all to share it with! Love seeing the pictures of all of your beautiful babies, we are truly one blessed group!!!!

[aidansmum]

We certainly did well ladies! I'm glad I'm in touch with some of you on Facebook. I will not come here as often anymore so I would like to wish you lots of cuddly times with your little ones, may they grow strong, healthy and blessed with all the best in life. x

Afm Eliana is 12 weeks tomorrow and have to say she is far more demanding and needy than my two boys ever were! She's very hard to put down for naps on her own but will sleep like a log if I am lying beside her, so at the moment I'm just going along with it. I've read that babies can't self soothe before four months so she has another month of getting her own way lol.
AF returned last week which was a big surprise as am exclusively bf and it didn't return until I'd weaned my two boys.
I hope you all are doing great and enjoying your little people :)

I was surprised by AF too.
Nicolas is 11 weeks today and quite needy and adorable.
He just keeps eating... wonder if he's having a growth spurt.
Being back at work part time is a challenge. I wanted to do some exercise or go outside and see the sunshine but instead I cooked for like half an hour and had dinner guests. It was good to see our friends.

[snipsnsnails]

It was a pleasure getting to know everyone. It feels like our journey started ages ago! But it ended with such beautiful babies! Enjoy all these precious moments and best wishes to those signing off. I will try and get in touch by fb..
Lunasa, my little girl was the same not a great Napper or sleeping until 4 months started. I could do a nice routine with her then. She eats plays and takes a nap about every 2 hours or so. I remember with my other ones the schedule didn't start until around 4 months.
She is doing great rolling over both ways sometimes log rolling, laughing and so sweet. Love her to pieces! Plus the feeling that this is now my family is such a great feeling. No more wondering ,maybe one more baby. Although I would love another one I am very blessed with 4 healthy kids and looking forward to all the next stages with them.❤️

Hi ladies! Oh my gosh, I have some catching up to do! I am sad that I missed some of you that left! It is crazy, the journey, stories, support, excitement, and tears we went through and shared. :) It is great seeing everyone's babies!
I couldn't get on with my phone for the longest time, finally got that sorted out, then just couldn't find a few minutes to get on. Things are good here, Jaxten is 11 weeks already! He is doing good...he spits up a lot!
As for me, what started off as the quickest easiest recovery, has really gotten drawn out. I'm still spotting, and ended up finding out that my hCG was still up and there was a little bit of retained placenta. So long story short I cannot wait to be normal again! I'll try to post a picture soon!!

My little Anya is 3 and half months old now. She is a poor napper but a good night sleeper, she smiles a lot, chats a lot to us and her toys and already rolls from tummy to back and is very close to rolling the other way too, I can see her practicing even in the middle of the night on my video monitor. I weaned her off BM for the second time, long story, formula gave her cramps so started pumping again at 6 weeks after milk had dried, got full supply again but she won't have the breast, so I've been feeding her BM all this time but I decided it's enough as it's hard work keeping supply up with pump only and she can tolerate formula a bit better now. She is a delight, little brother is crazy about her and daddy melts everytime she smiles :) Hope everybody is well. I love seeing the bubs, they are gorgeous! Crazy to think they are growing so fast, I can't believe snips' baby girl is already 5 months old! Bittersweet as I am enjoying Anya's babyish ways so much! Specially because she is small and even though she is almost 4 months she still wears 000! Tight fit, but still wearing them :)

Such a cutie! Can't believe she's turning over already- Jamie wants nothing to do with being on his tummy, although he's waving his legs around in such a way out won't be long until he turns over much to his surprise. I don't think he'll be too happy about it though.

[aidansmum]

Aidan was the same! Wanted nothing to do with tummy time and didn't roll until he was 6 months! But when he started he didn't stop, at 11 months he was walking! They go at their own pace.

Jamie is 6 months old now and growing like a weed. Weighs a tonne, too (was 18.5lb when we had him weighed 3 weeks ago)! Loves his food and now has breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as bottles. Due another weigh in today, will see how he tips the scales!

[bunnywabbit]

Got Jamie weighed today - 20.5lb! So working out to about 1lb a week. He's in the 91st percentile. Yikes!

[aidansmum]

awww...what an angel :)

Got Jamie weighed today - 20.5lb! So working out to about 1lb a week. He's in the 91st percentile. Yikes!

Goodness me Bunny! Bless him, you're gonna have to work overtime to feed that one :)
Aidan was on the 90th percentile at that age, then dropped to 75th, and he's still there at 4 years of age. He eats like a horse! Anya was on the 5th percentile when born, now she's on the 50th, so much smaller, and so fussy to eat, even to finish her bottles it's a nightmare! She takes ages and snacks all day, definitely not a big eater. I started her on solids when she turned 4 months (basically baby cereal and some fruit) and she likes it, but she has like a quarter of one of those baby food pouches and is happy with that. I remember first time I gave Aidan some baby cereal and mashed banana at 4 months, he scoffed the whole thing down then had a tummy ache all afternoon, he always ate like a champ! Anya will be trouble in the department I can tell. Here's a recent picture (she LOVES her bath!).
22648

[aidansmum]

Or should I say her brother's BLUE bath that was passed on to her LOL not everything has to be pink :wink:

[bunnywabbit]

Jamie likes his food, but he's apparently quite tall which is likely why he weighs more. He was on 5x 8oz bottles a day but has dropped to 5.5-6oz now he's eating.

Aww, I'm glad she loves her bath, so cute! Little man seems to be scared of the bath. Any bath, no clue why. I'm hoping when he has better balance when he sits up (he can sit up but still has a 'round bum' so still have to hold him tight) he'll be more distracted if I give him bits to play with and will enjoy it more. Yes, this is the same child who doesn't bat an eyelid about repeatedly trying to throw himself off my lap. Figures...

[gafan]

Hello! I know most of us don't check this much anymore, but I thought I'd leave a message anyway. Nicolas just turned 8 months old. I cannot believe how fast the last 35 weeks feel. Whoever said I would love my little boy to bits was right. I do. He's very sweet. Sometimes I still wish for a girl (but not that Nicolas would be different). It was wonderful to have everyone's support throughout last year, and I hope you are all well.

Aww he's so cute, Gafan! In all honesty IF I were to have another one and were told it was another boy, I'm not sure it'd bother me... I know how little boys 'work' now, to now be told I'm having a girl would be lovely and exciting, but would be a little nervous in that I'm not sure if it would be a while new learning curve iykwim. Not sure if that makes sense or if that sounds ridiculous :hide:. It's maybe not like that at all but have no point of reference as to if both experiences are very different or not.

I know what you mean. IF I were to have another one (big IF, no discussion yet and even if I wanted to there's ZERO time or energy) I can imagine being just fine with another boy. I am glad you feel satisfied with your little boy too. He's adorable!

Awww Gafan, how could any mother wish for anything different to their bubs? :) He is so gorgeous! Time is going so fast! Anya turned 9 months, she is such a little character, so clever and smiley :) An updated picture and a big hello to everybody, hope all is well with you gals and bubs xx24974

Bunny, it happened to me when I found out I was having a girl, after being a mum to 3 boys I was a bit scared I wouldn't know what to do with a baby girl, but I guess the good old motherly instinct kicks in a you just know what to do, I feel the difference in subtle ways, but a baby is a baby and as long as you keep them fed, entertained and happy, they thrive :)

Nicolas turned one this month! I hope all of you are well and are enjoying your little ones.

Such cute little ones, Gafan and momof3boyz! Not sure how many are here still - I think aidansmum is still here but can't speak for the rest.

Jamie has just turned 14 months and is into everything! We're not walking yet but pulling ourselves to standing and testing our weight and balance on our feet for the moment.

I haven't been on this site for about six months. I needed some head space out from gender desire issues IRL. My little girl turned one a few weeks back.

Feeling rather broody but 41 now.

I'm still checking in from time to time, I love following the stories of the ladies on here... Eliana turned 1 last month and is FINALLY sleeping through the night :)

Gosh they are all so cute. Only seems like yesterday

[bunnywabbit]

Oh my goodness, Little Lunasa, cute, cute, cute!

So... Is anyone going to try again? I know a couple if girls have and are currently pregnant. I'm still very much in two mind whether or not to try for baby #2. Maybebaby, I know a couple of girls over 41 who have tried again and have successful pregnancies, don't give up just yet!

[aidansmum]

Hello girls, it's been while but I come back every now and then to see how our beautiful little bubs are going, it's amazing to think they've all turned 1 already! And they all look gorgeous and healthy! maybebaby I had Anya at 41, no biggie ;) No more babies here, had tubes tied, after 3 boys and 1 girl, I feel my mission is complete :) This is a little snapshot of my little Anya who is now 13 months old, walking, climbing, babbling and into everything :) Let's keep this thread going, even if it's just to log in once every 6 months with an update :) 2694426945

We're crawling like a pro here and will stand on his hands and feet but not walking yet. My DM was saying sometimes if the baby's taller, standing can seem like a long way down to them so they may need longer to get used to it. Not sure if that's true or not, but soon... We're definitely into everything, though. Our favourite for now is 'posting' toys - all his books and toys are all shoved in gaps under furniture! And throwing. Lots of throwing.

Cute babies !! Love all the pics !

[gafan]

Bunnywabbit, I am also of two minds about whether or not to try for another baby. Some days I think it would be wonderful and other days I think I have my hands full with Nicolas and could devote more to him as an only child. Here he is at almost 15 months old. He loves to cruise, throw things, and "post" things like books and toys you said Jamie did at that age.

Clever girl! Is that a purse in her hand? "Off to the shops, mum!" :) . Still waiting for Jamie's first steps here...

Ha ha it's not a purse (yet!!) but yes it looks like one :)
I bet as soon as Jamie takes his first steps there'll be no stopping him, it all happens in the blink of an eye
