Agggh teeth, I hope they never come.... hehe YEAH RIGHT! Lachlan was a terrible teether!!! Hoping Riley will be different. Lachlan showed signs of teeth at 3mths and his first one didn't pop thru until 9mths. Teeth are such horrible things.

I was the same Tan with the weight gain, but with my first son. I put on 26kgs and was a whopping 107kgs OMG! This time I only put on 12-13kgs but was def heavier to start with this time too, but still didn't get to the 107kgs, so I was happy with that. I think I am 91kgs now, so I could do with loosing 20kgs atm.

I am bridesmaid for my sister in May and she is putting pressure on me now for my size so she can get dresses!!! What tha..... I am not happy about this, as it is really important for me to breastfeed this time round and I am not going to try to loose weight right now when things are going well for us (for a change). I just know I really have to work at it - to loose weight and I am not going to make my milk dry up in the mean time, esp when I have 8 mths to go! Any advice on what exercise I can do. I am thinking I am only allowed to exercise. No jogging or aerobics.

Jean are you talking formula night and arvo bottle? If so I am not sure honey.

Ainsley - gosh Alli def has put on the weight huh, esp being born so small and all.

Danni - you just do what you think it best for you and your bub. I didn't want to give up breastfeeding with my first bub, but he basically forced me too and at the end of the day, he was happy, so I was happy.

Satya - hope you are feeling better soon.


Well in the last few days we are going great guns. Just hoping it continues. Riley hasn't liked sleeping thru the day but we finally seem to be developing a pattern in the last few days. His first feed starts at 9am of a day and then he will have a very short catnap at 10.30am, feed at 12pm, asleep by 12.30pm (then has 3-4 hours), feed at 4pm (with a catnap in between), 6pm, then last feed at 7.30pm and asleep by 8.30 to 9pm and will wake at 5am for a feed.

Lets just hope that continues. Things are finally coming together. For now...... hehe

I am guessing Riley is about 6.3kgs approx at 11weeks of age, don't get weighed until next tues. But last Tuesday was 6.160kgs. So if he is about 6.3kgs, then he has put on 3kgs since birth and probably even more by next weigh in next Tuesday. So he is a budda baby and done so well compared to my first child. Lachlan (my first son), was only 6kgs at 6mths of age.
