Babies Born January 2008 #8

Kanda my Sophie is almost 4months old and still gets some pains from time to time. I dont think there is an answer as to when it stops, sometimes bubs just get a bubble stuck and it causes them pain until they get it out. Sophie has only had 2 nights where she has had BAD pain/wind in her 4months. Have you consulted your dr or anyone else?.

Sorry if i wasnt much help..

Hi everyone!
Still reading the daily email updates with relish, even if I dont manage to come into the site and reply!
Glad to hear everyone is going well!
We are good, Addy is growing beautifully, 4 months old today! She will have her next immunisations next week. She is continuing on reflux medication, we will taper it off at 6 months when she starts solids and should all be good. She is is much happier baby now. Still doesnt sleep long time during the day but sleeps 8pm-2ish feeds and sleeps till 6am so I am happy with that! She is 65cm long and weighs 7.05kg 2 weeks ago.
As for me, I am getting to pilates once a week to strengthen those abs!!! and walking most days, have lost a little more weight- now only 2.5kg to get back to pre-pregnancy weight which is still about 5 kg more than I would like!! But I am happy!

SO not much news. Still waiting for Addy to roll over but she is delighting us each day with new hand controls, 'talking' and all the little things that they do!!

Till next time,
Hugs
Maryx and Addy

Hi Everyone,

Francis had his first vaccines on Friday, there is a new vaccine for the rotavirus on the schedule.

Francis is feeding well, milk is a bit low at the moment STRESS!!! Lots of smiles and cooing also.

I hope you are all doing well. My family and I moved house so it has been awhile since I have been on. Everyone I seem to know is falling pregnant SO I am mega clucky

Love Karen and Francis

Hi everyone! God it's quiet in here! Well, Amy has almost lost all her beautiful hair and the little tiny short ones that are growing back are looking suspiciously blonde so we will see. She seriously looks like a different baby now. I got my first giggles yesterday too!! None since then but it absolutely made my day. I can't believe that my little girl is over 19 weeks now. Not much other news here. Still waiting for her to roll but can't hurry development!! She's sleeping well. 7pm until 5.30 or 6am on a good night, so am very happy about that. Sleep makes things much easier to handle!\ Got my results from my follow up GTT and bad news, I have impaired glucose tolerance which means I basically have to eat like a diabetic to prevent me from getting Type 2 in the future. There's a 50% chance I'll get it in the next 10 years. Bummer but what can you do?! I'm just frustrated cos I've never been fat or unhealthy....oh well, no more choc or lollies for me!

Madelon - Amy's top hair has disappeared too. It looks funny. I hope Sander is sleeping better.

Jen - Yay on Amber reaching 12 weeks! She's looking so gorgeous!!

Mary - only 2.5kg to go! That's great!! My extra weight just won't budge and believe me I'm trying!!!

April - Happy mother's day to you too! Hope you got spoilt.

Jo - that's so great you had a better experience at the dr's. reassures you a lot doesn't it!?

Jess - Amy's dribbling lots and chews on her hands but still no teeth! I'm sure they'll be coming soon though! ;-) Jaylen looks great!! So do you for that matter!

Karen - I hope you've settled into the new place and that the stress has died down for you. I know what you mean about being clucky around other pregnant women. I think it could be time for number 2 for me in the nearish future but will take it as it comes.....oh my did I just say that!!

Well, better get going. I miss you all. It's so hard to get on here regularly though. Oh well, at least we've got much more interesting and fun things to do with our time!! Luv Nik and Amy xxxx

Goodday all!

How's everyone doing?

Sander still hardly sleeps..... I wish he finally figured out how much fun dreaming can be! He hardly sleeps during the day: 1/2 hour in the morning, max 2 hours midday, 1/2 hour late afternoon, 1 hour around 7 and if he has a bad night, he won't go back to sleep untill 10ish no matter how tired. Then he wakes up at around 3 and 7.30
So envious when I read about your bubs sleeping through the nights..
He is really unsettled too, cramps and spitting up alot.
On the other hand he loves to play and really likes to stick his tongue out and splutter.
We had to go to the hospital yesterday as they suspected he might have hip dysplasia (sp?) but thank god his hips are fine.
The radiologist was kinda rude tho! We entered the room and she immediately squeeled: wow he's a big guy isn't he?! Ummm yeah I know, he's kinda big for his age! Kinda hoping he will stop growing this fast! but at least we don't have to worry about him not eating enough I guess..

Nik: Sanders hair is returning and it is much lighter than the hair he was born with too. apparently thats very normal. Can't wait what he looks like tho with a full head of hair!

Hey everyone else! Anyone else still breastfeeding full time? Can you get bubs in some sort of rythm? Does your bub stull have a lot of wind? Is that normal? It's really painfull sometimes!

Hope everyone is fine and enjoying bubs giggles and splutterings.

Hi everyone,

Wow, I can't believe how quiet it is. ha ha... It's only cos we're all so busy with our bubs.

Billy had his 4 month needles today and did really well. I did well also, didn't cry this time. ha ha ha! I'm not sure of his weight etc at the moment. He has a check up this coming Tuesday.

As for me, I've been trying to get back to the gym but feeling too fat to leave the house. Bought myself a new ipod shuffle yesterday as I can't find my old one since I moved! So, I've loaded that up with songs and might head off to the gym shortly. I have to lose 48kg! What a classic. Well, I lost 50kg 5 years ago so at least I know I can do it! It's so weird you know, I see the girls on the biggest loser and some of them look heaps bigger than me but weight heaps less. Why do I weigh so much but don't look all that big? Strange.

It sounds like everyone here is so happy and enjoying their bubs. It's awesome. I wish we could get this chatter up and going again. I'm going to make a concerted effort to drop by every day and see what's going on. I really do miss all the chats we used to have.

Well, I better put my gym stuff on before I change my mind! I hope everyone's having an awesome day.

Much love to all,

Kate & Billy
