Grub X has five to seven feeds a day and we havent started solids yet. Have been thinking I will have to start in the next few weeks but trying to hold off a bit longer.
saph, definitely wait as long as you can. I really regret listening tothe doc and starting ash so early but it's done so i have to drop the guilt and move forward.
but cos we started so young (4mnths) we went very very slow. Farex with lots of EBM and just some basic veg.
Now he loves loves loves his food and eats so well.
thanks bg. Ash just doesn't want anything! not boobie, bottle, sippy cup. so i'm going to try not to stress so much and just go with the flow as I can't force him to drink (learnt that one the hard way).
omg he is just waking now! was put to bed at 6.45pm yesterday! woke at 8.30pm for a feed and 3am for more booby! better run ox
glad you found it helpful Green. Is your DH on SAHD duties now?
Hi Grub. I'm not one to ask about number of feeds - DS would have still been having 10 or so at 8 months, but he wasn't eating much till 12+ months. You're right you can't force things - always makes things worse So back for more in December? Exciting! Is metrformin no good when breastfeeding? Good luck with it all
Yeah, I'd delay solids as long as possible for 2 reasons - mess and nasty poos (it's part of my lazy parenting philosophy)
It's tough working two jobs BG - hope you get a little time for yourself and recharging.
We're good. DS tells me he has a baby in his tummy too. and sometime he takes it out to give it milk.
just a quick one and it might help Grub. Have you tried spoon feeding Ash water? You know that Jazzy never took to anything other than boob for drink feeds so that applies to water too, so I have been spoon feeding her all along, especially with meals between mouthfuls and she loves water so much. Even when not drinking to swallow, she loves the feel of water in her mouth as she is not a dribbler, even with teething so it must just be novel and gets her blowing raspberries and vocalising. bathtime is just a giant water drinking frenzy, so i don't know why I bother boiling what I feed her. A bloke on the plane saw me spooning water to her and said I'd given him the idea to try on his son.
thanks murph. we have done it a couple of times. sometimes it works other times it's all down his front. but might try it again tonight he actaully seemed a little intereseted in the sippy cup today while visitning friends and has taken a coupel of feeds during the day today. so who knows! but he hasn't slept well! so he'll either eat well or sleep well lol. not both at once. pft
Wow it seems everyone has found some spare time recently to get back on line. This is my first chance as Tara is already in bed and DH is working until 7pm tonight so a little window of free time.
It wonderful to hear how everyone has grown so much and all the new adventures everyone is embarking on. Murph I have my FX for you that Medibank can get their act together and Jazzy can get her implants ASAP.
Sorry for no extra persies but things have been hectic recently and I seem to loose track of what is happening with everyone but trust me I think of you all.
Well I was supposed to be mid cycle for an FET but as my FS decided to change things up a little this time around (as he has been getting better results) of course my body has decided to not respond at all and after running around like crazy having scans every couple of days, which is a logistical nightmare with a baby in tow, my cycle has now been cancelled and I'm back on provera from tomorrow to hopefully get AF in the next couple of weeks so we can go back to the previous protocol which we know works as Tara is the proof. Ah, such a headache as we are planning on going away for a week and a half in August so now we have to juggle a transfer hopefully end of July with planning when I need to be back home for BT's etc.
Apart from this issue everything is going well with Tara. She is an absolute joy and is so funny now with her little personality starting to show itself. She is such an attention seeker and is happy for anybody - even strangers - to pay her heaps of attention and if people ignore her she screams at them and bangs on anything to make a noise to get the attention to her. But the thing I love hearing best is when people are always telling me how gorgeous she is especially when she gives you a big toothy grin. Oh, and we have also started to wave, today at Mothers Group she was waving at all the other mum's (mainly because when she did they paid her attention) and then smiling and laughing as she is so clever. As you can tell I'm such a proud mummy of a very cheeky little girl, fingers crossed we have one more just like her waiting for us on ice.
Anyway, better be off as DH will be home soon. Take care everyone.
no persies here either. just a big sooky whinge!
i'm TIRED. E isn't sleeping - she is sick and it's not good here - so tired!
i think E has had a reaction to the needles she had on friday - either that, or the toys she was playing with at the doctors - she is so quick i just couldn't stop her. she has the snots big time. pretty sure, from her cries, she has a sore throat too. i feel awful for her. she is just so unwell. i want her to be ok - i HATE seeing my baby so unwell. i was in tears with her last night - there is only so much i can do and she is waking EVERY sleep cycle. tonight i'm going to experiment with her using me as a matress and see how we go - she might actually sleep (one can hope).
LYLA
a big hi to all my beautiful girls today,i hope you all have a great weekend
KELLY best of luk for this cycle hun
MITF welcome to our thread hun and a huge congrats on your bubba

love you all girls,very busy here and ive done my back in and can hardly moove its soooo sore went to the hossy and got some pain meds so hopefully it will help.
take care mums and bubs im always thinking of you all.
Hello Ladies, some of you might remeber me from the pregnancy after LTTTC thread. Well I have now had my wonderful little man so I guess it is time to cross over. For those who like a few statistics.....
Luke was born on Mon, 5 July at 11.52, a healthy 3.83 kg or 8.4 pounds, 48.5 cm long.
Hi mitf, welcome and congratulations! Hope you're enjyoing your newborn nuggles.
Happy half birthday Charlie - that really went fast!
You sound so positive Murph! Christmas isn't that far away really.
Hi MissMagpie. Wow at suddenly having 2 kids. Your DSD is so lucky to have a loving family to give her a second chance. I know we all fret about being good parents and doing the best we can, but some kids really never stand a chance, do they?
sounds like Trent is doing very well too!
Hope you're enjoying your time away Grub.
I'm back at work at the moment. so poping into bb every few minutes because my work is soooo boring.
Trying to get A to sleep with blankets on. Last night he kept waking up cold "mummy. put the blankets on" Well, yeah, stop kicking it off, and why don't you just pull it up yourself anyway? He's talking a mile minute with no break from teh moment he gets up to the time he drops off at night. It's exhausting.
mitf: Welcome aboard the mummy train. I've been secretly following the pg thread to see how many gradutes will be joining us mummies. Wow so many of you are due to come across soon. Enjoy every minute of your new little man as they grow so fast and feel free to ask as many q's as you need as these little one's really need an instruction manual.
Marcellus: Yuck for being back at work, but at least you don't have too long before you finish up anyway. Oh, I had a little chuckle at A and the constant talking thing.... We went for a drive on Sunday and for and hour and a half straight all Tara did was growl non stop, it really did our head in so can only imagine how shattered you must be having constant chatter all day.
Big hello to everyone else, hope you are all doing well.
Things still going good for us although I think another tooth is making it's break for freedom as Tara has been cranky today and grinding her teeth like made, bbbrrrrr hopefully it will come through in the next few days. Finally we are cycling again for our FET, AF came early so start meds tomorrow and scan on the 19th to see how things are progressing - for all the girls on FB I'm not saying anything so I'll keep you all updated via BB. Anyway better be off as DH is doing dinner and it's almost ready. Take care.

Sorry to being MIA and then storming in here for a very ME post. Lyla is one today! Just thought I announce it here. Both DH and I came and pick her up early from childcare. She had a cake to share with the other kids and then home to open her presents.
I can't express how happy I am that my girl is one and all that she has achieved over the year. DH has just completed putting together a video clip, a collection of special moments over the past year. I can't believe how she had grown and how early her personality showed and progressively strengthened.
Welcome Mift, I am sure that despite sleepless nights you will not trade your LO for anything. Enjoy every moment for 1 year fly by very fast.
Kelly, good luck with your cycle. Guess I will be going alone early next year for #2... lets cross our fingers as I insist and will you to succeed in this cycle!
to all you beautiful mums and bubs.

gooodd luk to you kelly with your fet.to all you girls i luv ya all and huge hugs to you all.
wow, can't believe i'm finally able to post in here, feels like a dream come true!!
My gorgeous little boy, Finn, finally arrived 7 July fashionably late (EDD was 28 June) and just before his scheduled induction! He was 8 pounds 3 ounces and 51cm long and I had a reasonable labour. We've been home now for a couple of days and he so far has been an absolute angel - we have to wake him for most, if not all his feeds, though i'm sure this won't last long...!
Can I ask a question already please?! I've had quite swollen feet and ankles since his birth which the midwives assured me was quite normal. It's okay during the day but come night time when i'm finally resting and putting my feet up they suddenly balloon up and my feet get a bit tingly. Did anyone else experience this? If so, how long did it last? I've been told anywhere from a couple of days to 3+ weeks! Also - did you find anything in particular helped to relieve it? I've got some tight stocking thingys, but was wondering about massage, resting up more, walking more etc...
Anyway ladies, can't wait to read about where you're all up to - seems like years ago I was in the pregnancy after LTTTC thread with some of you, and looking forward to getting to know the rest of you.
Yay for making it over here Lise, and big congrats on the arrival of Finn. As for your question, yep same thing happened for me. 3 days after delivery my feet seemed to explode and did get worse when I put them up to try and get the swelling to go down, I even slept some nights with them raised on a pillow to help relieve some of the pressure. It probably took a good couple of weeks before I could put proper shoes back on ie: not wear slippers all the time.
