PRMG - Hope Miss M is feeling better! Have you had much morning sickness? I have got horrible heartburn again, had it bad with DD as well. I would love to have this baby a little bit early but am mentally preparing for another 41+week bub.
JF - Love the pic of Immy meeting Aubrey! Very cute!
Mo - Glad to hear you're doing better
DD has a cyst near her eye, taking her to a specialist next week to get it checked out, might have to be operated on which is a little bit scary! I was laying on the couch the other day and she came up to me and was trailing her fingers from my thigh down to my foot. When I asked her what she was doing she said that this is how the baby is going to come out - out of my foot, haha. I told her that the baby is going to come out of my vagina and she was like, "Oh, ok" and since then she's brought up babies coming out of vaginas a few times. Will be funny if she says it to someone else besides me and DF. Only 6 or so weeks to go til my due date
There's something about this thread that never gives me notifications when there's a new post!
Sorry FW! Miss M is much better, thanks. I had about 4 weeks of all day sickness, some just nauseas, a couple of bolts to the loo. It cleared out, but came back today, mixed with heartburn. Feeling on top of the world I've got my fingers crossed that you go a tad earlier than 41 weeks this time.
I'm trying to pinpoint a date that feels right for this one. Hunch says it will be a Friday. DH, DD and I are all Friday babies. I'm thinking the 5th at the moment, but we shall see. It's a bit early, but my EDD is 17/7 and the scans are currently saying I'm 5 days more advanced, so that brings me to 12/7. DD was born 5 days before her DD so with that rationing, it's getting close to the 5th. Wonder if I'll be right.
JF - Loving the photos! Your girls are gorgeous! Have you settled into the new place?
Mo - How are you travelling?
And the best bit from me is....
DD IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT IN HER OWN BED!!!!!!!!!!!!
For over a week, we've all had blissful 8+ hours sleep. It's heaven. I'm still tired, but I feel much more rested having to no longer share the bed with a wriggly toddler!
We are pretty settled here and I love it. The street has so many balconies all to the road, it feels like a holiday home haha and so much space! We finally have a dining table so can eat together properly instead of on the floor and Immy has her own room which she thinks is so cool. We got a sign made of her name which she thought was super special. We have been here two nights and both she has slept through in her room which is a relief now that I'm up all night with number two although feeling a bit sad as previously had shared a room with her her whole life (own beds though for a while now and she was mostly sleeping through). She also seems pretty over breastfeeding too and I think it is because it is a baby thing if that makes sense, still has her feed before sleep but that's it, even declined feeding when I was practically begging due to engorgement lol so that is another bitter sweet thing. My little lady is growing up so fast next to tiny Bree which I was half expecting but definitely not prepared for! Very proud of her, she is a great helper and very gentle but affectionate with Bree and so far no tantrums or jealousy so fingers crossed things continue in a similar fashion.
Immy heads back to speech therapy after a break for Christmas and having Bree. She has improved so much and we are getting new words frequently although she still relies heavily on signs. I'm looking forward to going back as it is a lot of fun and we are in need of some new signs. I find myself signing to Bree a lot out of habit, I wonder if she will pick it up and when lol.
Bree is a good baby, I think or maybe I have very relaxed expectations. She doesn't sleep more than half hour to forty mins without settling during the day and who knows what overnight. Haven't really been paying attention as we co-sleep but she is a settled bub and gaining weight at super speeds. She was 3.8kg at birth, 3.6kg at 48hrs old, 4.1kg at one week and 4 days later is 4.3kg. She makes quite a lot of noise in her sleep, I forgot how loud newborns are and the nappies! So many nappies! I'm missing having DP home to help deal with that side of things haha.
In horrible news, the dreaded in-laws arrive today. I'm freaking out to be honest. I haven't seen them really since the incident that has never been mentioned again, let alone an apology. I'm still haunted by that weekend and I just hope after this visit it will be even clearer to me where DPs loyalties are. Everything has been so brilliant between us that I hate having this thing tainting that. I'm already on the back hand as they booked the trip (interstate) without even checking when would be good and now really isn't a great time but I'm being the bigger person and not even mentioning it. I will be the perfect host
FW - I didn't even read that bit about DD's eye! Hope everything is okay and she can avoid surgery. It's very scary
JF - Good luck with the IL's visit. Glad that Bree is a settled baby. Makes things somewhat easier. Weight gain sounds great! And please.....no further mention of nappies. We're about to try the 3 day TT method with M and I know that there's no way I'm going to want nappies back
All good here, Miss B is doing really well & is my best baby yet.
She is just so happy always giving these big beautiful gummy smiles, i can not wait to she starts showing more personality & i hope she takes after Kodi and not Maddi lol.
Kodi is doing well, she is getting this massive attitude and is so stubborn but generally she is pretty good.
She is always making us laugh she is such a clown.
Maddi still a demanding drama queen, but you gotta love her
MG i was reading your thread about HAB vs CC, have you thought of buying a SSC like an ergo, Angel Pack etc...
They would offer good support for your back as well
The cyst under DD's eye popped through the skin the day before we saw the specialist. He said we need to keep it open with warm compresses to get the pus out otherwise she'll need surgery under a general to cut it out.
PRMG - Yay for sleep!
JF - Exciting times for you guys, it's good that Immy has settled in to your new place easily. Hope the inlaws are gone by now!
Mo - Love seeing pics of how Bambi is growing, she seems so big already.
I have an Ergo but not the infant insert. Thinking about getting some sort of sling that will be easy to breastfeed in.
Hows everyone doing?
Have you thought of getting a Mei Tai wrap like Babyhawk? They will last you longer than the CC or HAB
Either way once you buy 1 you'll probably end up buying more as it's kinda addictive
We're not too bad, only 2 weeks til my due date, will be interesting to see if I go over or go early this time Heading into town to wait next week just in case.
We're still having issues with her eyes, hopefully it won't be an ongoing thing. The specialist reckons that she might be having some kind of immune response and is producing extra fat in the glands which is blocking them causing the bumps so we have to clean them a few times a day.

I've got my fingers crossed that you go a tad earlier than 41 weeks this time.
