    Hi,

    I keep checking to see if anyone has posted in here yet, but thought maybe others are doing the same. hate being the first! sorry for no capitals, but i am feeding my little boy at the moment, while my 3yo sleeps. i so wish i could sleep during the day, but i find myself lying there thinking too much and get up just to stop my brain from overworking. So, my boy was born naturally on 1st August and all has been going pretty smoothly since then. He weighed 3.1kg and feeds constantly! i am longing for him to go regularly 3 hours between feeds, but it's usually closer to 2 and a half and even closer at night. I look like crap, but still feel pretty blissful and loved up. anyway, anyone else wanna chat about boobs and babies?

    Hi,

    My baby was born 9 days late on August 10th and weighed 8lb 14oz, or 4kg - a very big boy! 54cm long and head circumference 36cm. He is almost 7 weeks old now and is growing heaps, he now weighs 5.24kg! He's a very happy baby and is just starting to try to reach for his toys and he is very alert. We are so happy, he is perfect

    Hi! Well done kaybee on posting first! Congrats on your Bub. My little girl was born on the 9th of August. She is now 9 wks old. Sal, how is it all going? You will laugh when I tell you that Charli and I are having fun playing girl dress ups and deciding what to wear everyday! Loving my little girl! How are your boys going girls?

    Also wanted to ask you if you were interested in joining a fb page for August bubs? If so let me know and I'll try to find you guys and add you...assuming you have fb! Hope all is well.

    Hi Kelandbub,
    Would love to see photos of your dress ups, we do the same here, however my 11 yr old picks out most of the clothes. She is such a little mummy. I would love to join an Aug fb page too.
