Hi Saffy- congratulations!!
My bubs was born on the 12th of Jan. I was using the baby's due in Jan group quite early in my pregnancy, but stopped as I was only coming on here really sporadically at the time.
This is baby no 2 for me and I am really enjoying him too. Glad you are getting some sleep- we are too and the middle of the night wake ups don't seem so bad this time around.
Hi I'm here DS was born on 7th Jan. Nicnac like you I'm enjoying it 2nd time around. But I'd forgotten how persistent feeding on demand a newborn is lol.
Saffy great to see you, so happy you've had your sweet bub. Glad you're getting some sleep.
Hi all! DS was born 15 Jan and is a little doll. Only got him out of hospital two days ago (on oxygen due to cardiopulmonary hypertension) so I am all rested up.. I remember being far more tired first time round
Well i hope you all dont mind if i post in here...i was in the due Jan group as my little girl was due 21 Jan but she stopped growing at 31 weeks and was delivered at 35 weeks...Indiana was born 21 dec and weighed 4lb 1oz and was in special care for 10 days...she was 2.6kg at her last weigh though, so she is doing really well.
she is now 6 weeks old (corrected age 2 weeks). Im a sigle 40 year old mum and i have two amazing boys aged 12 and 9 who are so helpfull and supportive.
Hi!
My little princess was born on 24/1 (one day before her sisters 2nd birthday). I was induced at 36+1 because she had stopped growing. She's still in the SCN. We are hoping to bring her home mid Feb. it's so hard with her not being here
I had my little man on 9 January.
So far he has been excellent. Just feeding and sleeping. I must have the hang of it now as he is number 3.
I have 3boys - a just 3year old, 13month old and the new one. Things can be a little hectic at meal times or if I am BF and the older 2 want something, but so far we are managing.
My ds (first baby) was born on the 25th of Jan. I had a quick labour and feel really positive about it all. Unfortunately I was group b strep positive and didn't get my antibiotics in time and my ds contracted the infection. He finished his antibiotics last night so fingers crossed will be in the all clear when we see dr on Tuesday. He is a very placid baby and only upset when he gets a tummy ache from his medicine. We are very much in love with him.
Chody I hope you get to bring your little girl home soon. Xxx
Finally I have 5 minutes to stick my head in here!!! My DS (our first bubba!) was born on 11 Jan. The birth wasn't what I expected - Induction, 10 hours of labour and still only 3cm and ended with an emergency C-Section. The recovery was a lot harder than I expected and my milk took a long time to come in. Once it did come in, I got Mastitis so bad my milk turned green DS is now fully formula fed and is sleeping really well and putting on the pud. Most nights he has a feed between 10.30pm-midnight, then sleeps for about 4.5 hours and then goes back down for about 4 hours so we are really lucky. During the day he feeds about every 3.5hours. DH has had the last 5 weeks off work but goes back on Thursday, he is FIFO so im really not looking forward to having him away for a week at a time.
Also found out that my pram is bloody heavy today.... Uh oh!!!
Chody - Wishing your little one all the strength in the world so they can come home soon.
Hi to everyone else, i'm up to date with where most of you are at from the BB group.
We got given a Peg Perego Skate from our next door neighbours that they had finished with, very generous as they wouldn't take any money for it and it is worth a good amount of money. I think Amy got a bugaboo??
We got the baby jogger city mini. It's very light which I love. I'm a little nervous about the capsule though. Today is my first outing by myself. Let's hope we survive lol
