Babies Born ~ February 2012 #1

Totally. She doesn't just drop off to sleep as it is- she always screams blue murder before a nap, regardless of whether she's in bed already or in my arms.

Gosh I've been a bit slack. Feel like a bit of a thread killer

Miss H and both of her siblings (YAY - not) are really unwell. Have had her at ED to rule out whooping cough this weekend (we don't have medical centres or after hours clinics here which is a pain).
On the upside she had her 8 week check on Friday and has put on 2kgs since birth. She's a little chunker lol. 5.2kgs and 57cm length (which is 8cm growth!!). She's a crap crap sleeper in the day, but she's developed her own routine which is nice and predictable. We've had school hols so am glad it's a bit quieter this week.

Blixie my DH works away permanently. As scary as it feels, it gets easier.

LL that's so cute her laughing in her sleep.

Even though H is #3, those smiles and giggles just make my heart want burst all over again. Love it.

Hi girls I haven't posted in such a long time! Since my dd was born things with my husband went down hill, his parents from India came to stay with us for 2 months.. And I made the massive decision to leave him. So here I sit with my gorgeous growing DD and making a new life for the 2 of us. Olivia is trying very hard to roll but hasn't quite got it yet! She does manage to be able to spin herself around though! She has been formula fed since about 3 weeks and does love her bottle! She smiles alot and lately has started doing huge laughs, melts my heart! She's been sleeping through the night for a few weeks too. I love her so much!

Sadly I'll be returning to work mid next month so she will be in crèche full time. Already having panics about leaving her

How is everyone else? I'll have to go back and catch up on everyone else's journey!

I can't believe it's been 3 months since our babies arrived!!

Now the last time I posted in here I was a total thread killer....here's hoping someone rescues me, but I'm going to post anyway.

Wow Lans, that's huge

Hope you have lots of support hun. I can't imagine the enormity, but well done for following your heart.

Holly isn't rolling yet either, and that's just fine with me...once they start moving I always wish they didn't lol. She has decided in the last week that I am never ever to rock her to sleep again. As much as I thought I'd love it, I'm actually quite devastated. On the upside, her sleeping has improved out of this world and when she is awake she's a happy smiley kid which is just lovely. She has been sleeping a whole lot this last few days and after going out of her 000s only at the beginning of last week when I couldn't squeeze them on any longer, her 00s are getting a bit short too

. I guess she'll take after her big sister who is an amazon child (loooooong).

Hope all of you mummas and bubbas are well.

Hi Kim! I thought I'd post a quick reply so you haven't killed the thread lol!!

I can't believe how fast these bubs are growing.. Like Holly, Olivia busted out of 000 and even some of her 00 are in the squeeze side!

Since I've moved down to geelong I've been trying to figure a way to meet some other people so taken the jump to join a mothers group. I've missed the group with kids same she as DD & didn't want to barge in on an already formed group.. I'll be joining a group where the bubs are about 2 months old.. Only 6 weeks difference, hopefully should be good!!

Kim- I'm actually loving being by ourselves. Pretty sad actually, guess it means I'm really over the marriage. Looking forward to us girls forging a great path ahead!

Any idea when you'll be starting Holly on solids?

Please don't let me kill the thread!! Lol!!

**~Kim~** · May 22nd, 2012, 07:59 AM

No killing Lans

Good idea about the mothers group. I had one with a similar age gap for Darcy (DD1) and TBH you're all there for the same reasons so it really doesn't matter.
Solids will be about 6months. They keep moving the recommended guidelines but I did that with the other kids and so far we've had no allergies, intolerances bar a bit of peanut for Nate which he grew out of, no asthma, ear troubles etc. So basically that worked for us. I've only ever done BLS though. My kids didn't do baby food no matter how much I persisted.

**Ladylove** · June 1st, 2012, 08:31 PM

Hi ladies! I hope you didn't think I just left the group for no reason. I haven't been able to log onto the forum for almost two months I think but all sorted now. I'll have to speed read to catch up with everyone's news but in the meantime - hello!

**Ladylove** · June 1st, 2012, 08:33 PM

Lans I grew up in Western Vic.

**Ladylove** · June 1st, 2012, 08:34 PM

Oh wait a minute- i've been gone for over a month and there's only three new posts?!

**Lans** · June 2nd, 2012, 05:48 PM

Lol not a proper reply.. But we've been but slack huh?! Easy read to catch up ladylove lol!!! Back later to do a proper post!!

**phebee** · June 3rd, 2012, 01:01 AM

Hi ladies, sorry I've been very slack! Most of us moved over to FB and have kept up the discussion on there. I think it's just a lot easier.

My little Emily is not so little now! She's just over 3 months and weighs 6.4kg now. She's still feeding pretty much 3 hourly during the day but at night varies between 3-7 hours. We've been really struggling with reflux and colic these 3 months but it seems - touch wood - that the colic is settling down. Hopefully the reflux soon follows suit.

Other than that she is generally quite a happy and content little girl and is a very alert baby. She's starting to find her voice a bit lately and is experimenting with all sorts of sounds. She's also worked out how to suck her thumb and she loves sticking her tongue out, so cute!

**Ladylove** · June 3rd, 2012, 09:34 AM

Wow Phe she's big! H onor is 15 weeks and about 5.5kg

**~Kim~** · August 21st, 2012, 07:28 AM

Well ladies it's been a couple of months and no-one's posted in here. I'm a bit sad. Hope all your bubbas are well. Can't believe they are 6 months old already.
DD2 started solids with gusto. Bit of a shock after my last two were so slow. She still cannot roll over, but is OK at sitting unaided. She was 7kg and 66.5cm at her last immunisations.
Would love to chat with you all about our bubbas....don't suppose I could join the FB chat?

**Blixie** · August 21st, 2012, 08:04 AM

I know I'm so slack, even on facebook at the moment. But it's be awesome if you joined or people started chatting here again. I'm having issues with notifications on Facebook at the moment so miss half the stuff the ladies talk about there anyway.

Miss E is doing well not interested in purée baby food only wants to do the baby led weaning so when we're actually in a house and have proper cooking facilities and can do a proper grocery shop we'll be starting her with that. At her immunisations a month ago (she had them a month late cos she had a virus that lasted 3 weeks) she was 6.2kg. She rolls both ways and can get her arms in crawling position and her legs in crawling position but not at the same time haha when se gets her knees under her she pushes herself along on her forehead

silly little chook. She isn't sitting yet. She's doing everything slower than my other 2 but that's ok she'll get there eventually

Hope everyone else is well

Im the same I would love to share what DD3 is up to and all that stuff. I would love to join the fb chat/group too, if possible?

DD3 is onto solids, which she devours everything. She's sitting, but the same as your DD2 Kim, she wont roll over. She has rolled both ways, once or twice but thats it. Still no teeth here yet either. I can feel some bumps but thats all. I have had her next immunisations yet, shes been sick, actually we all have been, so got to get that sorted in the next little while.

Sorry I haven't posted here in ages - I seem to just use the FB group these days. If you want to join that group, search for 'Belly Buddies Due - Feb 1-15 2012' and you should find it. It's great to be able to chat and throw ideas around in there
