Hey guys

Sage...HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow!!! Wow! A big 1 year old! How exciting!!!

Mako...congratulations on being a Mummy for a year (and 9 months!!!) Hope you have a wonderful wonderful day and gorgeous birthday party/naming day. It's such a special time!

Re. the sleep thing...I finally have good news! After many many many months of 2-3 hour sleeps at night, Felix is finally sleeping for up to 10 hours (on a fantastic night) and on a bad night, waking once!!! Thought we would never get there...but he hit around 13 months, and things just seemed to click into place!

Teething definitely played havoc with Felix's sleeping...as does those 'developmental leaps' they talk about in the wonder weeks book...

So hang in there!!!

Need to go as my computer is running out of battery life...but hope everyone is doing well!

Happy birthday Sage! Where has the last year gone, hey?

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes for Sage I can't believe he is 1 already. The year has flown. We've enjoyed sooooooo many moments and have had a few worrying ones too.
Anyway I just want to wish my gorgeous little boy a very happy birthday . I love you with all my heart and thankyou for letting me be your mummy.

Monnie Well done to Felix for starting to sleep better. I hope everything else is going well.

Hi to you all.

Happy Belated Birthday wishes for Sage. I bet you had a fantastic birthday!

YAY monnie for Felix sleeping better.

Quick one from me, after DS decided to wake every half hour for 2 weeks solid! He is back to sleeping every 2-3 hours. I have started putting him on his tummy around 5am, and he then sleeps till 8.30, and only wakes then because I pick him up to put him in the car to take DD to school!
I have had a brief chat with DH about taking DS to a chiropractor to see if that will help with his sleep? We have friends who did this for their childs reflux, and it helped them hugely. Anyway, I have to make the appointment on a day that DH will be home as we will have to travel for 45 minutes to see a chiro.
Due for our 4 month needles in a couple of weeks, just need to make an appointment.

Hope everyone is well

Hi all
I was just thinking a little while ago that probably all the women in my mothers group will get pregnant again before me - decided to start mentally preparing myself. I didn't expect it to be this soon though! One of the women in my group told us last weekend that she's pg again - will be 14 months between the two. I hope I seemed happy for her - i am, just a bit shocked to be honest. I couldn't imagine going in for another just yet. Apparently they had trouble conceiving last time so just went for it right away - which I can totally understand.
Nothing much else happening here - can't remember the last time DS slept longer than 1-2 hours at a stretch. Who needs a newborn!

Hope you & babies are all well

marcellus, hope the sleep starts to improve for you asap

quick one from me, we had our 4 month needles yesterday. By the time we actually got in, it had been about 2 hours since DS's last feed and he was getting cranky. Dr was a tool, told me DS is technically 'underweight' at 7.4kgs, but he looks healthy, but his light, but looks healthy... and repeated it over and over for a good 5 minutes! Was so glad to get out of there. Came home and he slept for 6 hours!, and decided last night that play time would be from midnight to 2 am (DH was up with him though) he has also been a bit warm this time round, but giving him some panadol and keeping him cool. He is sleeping now, not sure for how long though lol...I should make a cuppa while I can.

What a tool! DS was 7.5kg at 6 months, so your boy sounds fine to me!
