I feel like I am in the final stretch here. Only 6 weeks and a day until my scheduled section. Now if I can just get my toddler to sleep through the night. We have been working on taking away nighttime milk and getting him to sleep in his big boy bed for 2 months and since my husband works nights, I am making minimal progress. I am tired and it's hard not to just give in for the sake of sleep. Good news is that we are on night two of absolutely no milk past bed time.

Good work hairbows! Its very hard having a wee one when you are about to have another ( I know you have been there before) sounds like you are making good progress I'm sure everything will fall into place before your darling girl arrives. I have finished work and somehow after the past 4ish months of restraint I have gone crazy baby shopping!! Less than 2weeks till my section, getting so excited!! Xxx
Well done Hairbows! Dropping night feeding is so hard. My youngest still has a breastfeed to go to sleep at night. I thought I would have dried up during pregnancy & he would have naturally dropped the feed, but I still have plenty of milk! I'm not particularly concerned we will work it out as we go, but tandem feeding wasn't something I was planning on.
Just wanted to pop in and say hi :) I hope everyone is doing well! I'm not around much anymore. Little guy is adorable, but a needy little monster. Haha. I should expect nothing less of a newborn. But he is sweet, so ill survive. Four kids 5 & under is absolutely insane. Just in case anyone was wondering ;) Hopefully I'll be back around for more baby announcements. Congrats to the new mamas. And I hope the waiting mamas are comfortable as possible for the time being.
Lovely to hear you are coping with your busy family without going toooo insane Hotdogz! Post another PIC of your wee dude, how are all the other new mums? I'm doing okay finished work but of course me being me I have started re organising the house, spring cleaning! But its lovely having both boys at school so I get a mini break before Miss Hazel arrives 1.5 weeks till my section XX p.s any Easter plans??
I just had a full week alone with all 3 kids. With it being march break it was crazy. My baby girl is also a tad fussy and hates to be put down lol. It's been tough to even eat most days! But of course worth it.
Awww, love the pics :D
Super gorgeous pics Robin, are you a maternity/child photographer too?? These pics are AMAZING! Xx
Thank you! Ya I opened my own photography business about a year ago after I decided to stay home full time. It's awsome bc I get to take pics of my babies and capture wonderful memories of other families. 😊
Busy with four too!!! Jackson is the same. Wants to be held all the time so yes food has to wait most days!!! I try to cook several meals at a time. Here are a couple of pictures from his newborn session.
Congrats aoi! She's a beauty.
I'm scheduled for an induction Thursday morning. I hope she comes on her own before then. :fingers:
Beautiful babies sunflower and robin!! I feel like it was just yesterday that we were all ttc, and look where we are now. It's amazing how quickly time flies by.
I know right blessed momma!
Robin what a cool job! Blessed mumma Thursday?? Wow!! Hope your little lady makes her arrival before then so you can avoid an induction, keep us updated and best of luck not long till you hold her in your arms X
Sunflower those pics are sooo cute! The little stripey outfit... You sound like you are doing a great job juggling 4 kids!!
I am a little nervous about having a newborn in the house. My boys are 5 and 7 so I'm a little fuzzy!! Hoping I can just go with the flow. This whole journey has been amazing so honoured I can share this with experience with you all XXX
Okay feeling a wee bit sorry for myself!! Found out today my c section date has been moved to 8th April, six days later than I thought. I know its a bit spoilt but I had 2nd April in my head!
She is measuring 2 weeks behind so I'm off for a growth scan tomorrow so its probably a good thing more cooking time, but I will be drowning my sorrows with a glass of bubbly and chocolate tonight Xx
Awwee that sucks kit kat. I know the feeling since my girl was late. Just a heads up though.. I was always measuring 2-3 weeks behind in belly measurements and I had a ultrasound the day before I gave birth. It said my baby would be 7 pounds 5 oz. She was actually 8.6. Just know that they can be off by a pound or 2.
I like April 8th though.. Easter baby!
Thanks Robin! I won't freak out if she appears a bit smaller my first thought was all her clothes will be too big as like you ( I think) tend to have bigger babies my first 8 pounds a week early and second 9 pounds on my due date!! Feeling better about it all now and looking forward to another sneak peek of her tomorrow and double checking that she is still a she!!! Xxx
Haha yes i doubled checked too! Let us know how it goes kit kat!
She has chubby legs!! Rolls of fat, hilarious so no teeny tiny baby for me. The scan really gave me a boost today and feel I can hack the next 2 weeks now and she is definitely still a she! Xxx
Aww, yay for another confirmation that she is indeed a girl kitkat! I'm sorry ur c section date was pushed back, but I'm sure it will fly by with ur boys.
I'm nervous and excited to be induced on thursday. I'm planning on cleaning and getting everything ready today so I can just relax with my boys tomorow. Can't believe my baby will be here in 2 days!!
How is life been treating you ladies with newborns? :) I hope they are letting you get some sleep!
Aoii, sunflower, robin etc... :)
So far so good. Not much sleep but she is a good baby. She just wants to eat every 2 hours! We are just getting adjusted to 3 kids. Life is busy!! [emoji38] the boys are great with her too. Hope everyone is doing good too and adjusting to life with a newborn. And good luck to all the ladies who are getting so close to having their babies!
My little lady goes longest 5 hours sleep stretches at night but that's rare. Mostly it's 3-4 hrs at a time. Life is very busy. Honestly right now I find the biggest challenge is the hormones adjusting back to normal. I am getting more irritated than normal. And also (this sounds silly) but I was a little disappointed when I didn't lose all the baby weight right away. I gained 45 pounds and still have a good 20 to lose. I know this can take time and is totally normal but still hard to get used to. I am on a no sugar/limited carbs diet and it sucks so maybe that's also why I am grumpy. Lol
Robin, I am so ready to lose the weight too! I have about 20 lbs to go too. Especially since this was my last pregnancy I just want to get into shape and stay in shape this time. I just don't want to diet too much and hurt my milk supply.
Blessed wishing you a speedy delivery of your gorgeous girl!! Enjoy your last day with your boys. Can't wait to see what she looks like!
Aoii and Robin sounds like you have typical newborns there sleeping just not enough!! Oh the come down in hormones sucks Robin I lost everything pretty much with DS1 right away...no effort required!! DS2 was a different story and I started dieting when he was about 3mths old, don't be afraid to put it off until you are getting a wee bit more sleep. LE anyone??? Hehe XXX
Robin I gained like 40 pounds. Still 26 to go...
It goes slow.....
I gained about 60 lbs this time. Yikes! Weight is coming off slowly. I also dont want to have dieting effect my milk supply.
Is anyone co-sleeping? My little guy wakes twice a night. He sleeps a good 5 hour stretch. So wonderful. [emoji4]
I am unfortunately not breastfeeding. . So I'm not worried about that this time.
I am Co sleeping part of the night. First feeding she goes back to sleep in bassinet. Second feeding she wants to be close to me. I'm sleeping with her in my arms beside me. It's nuts. Lol. Hard to sleep. We are moving next week so I will start sleep training at that point.
Today has been nuts bc she hasn't let me put her down for like 6 hours now. Very fussy. Maybe gas. It's very hard to not give the boys my attention... especially since hubby is very busy at work and I'm all alone alot.
She has been engaged since my 36 week check and i have had loads of signs but no progression :( i am going crazyQuote:

Robin2014 do you baby wear? I had pretty fussy babies but I didn't know how to wrap/wear with my first until he was several months old & the difference when he was able to be on me but my arms were free was HUGE. My second I just wore from the start & it made everything soooooo much easier. I used to sling him on my back in a half buckle carrier & make dinner while he slept there.
