[jlk]

wow, i cant beleive how many girls there are!

[Caramello]

My little one was due on the 2nd of August, but he arrived on the 21st of July, so I hope that I'm ok to be here? (or do I wait for the August people, I am so confuzzled )

Anyway I'm quite happy to stay here if thats ok.

My baby boy's name is Thomas Edward.

[Visitor7]

Welcome SeaChange You're more than welcome here! So far, we have babies that were born from June through to August in this group! The more the merrier. How is everything going for you?

[Rachett]

Hi Ladies,

I didn't realise anyone was posting in this thread already! I'm out by a day, my bub was born the 15th July, but would like to stick with this group too.

Hope you are all going well.

[Leigh26]

Hi girls,

SeaChange, welcome to our group, I am looking forward to getting to know you & little Thomas. My bub was due on July 22 but I had her on the 23rd of June. Hope everything is going well for you.

Hi to everyone else.

[Twin Sister]

Hi Seachange, welcome to our group. Congrats on your little guy.

[dusty]

Love your new avvy Jodi! The girls look so cute

Re weight I was pretty heavy for me when I fell pg so I have plenty more to loose so maybe that's why it's coming off

[dusty]

Leigh lol at 8 arms, sounds like your doing amazing i'm in awe of you girls with kids.
Question when did you start nappy free time? We are using disposables ATM but will swap when I'm up & about. I live in chilly canberra so would need to really warm up the room.
Also when does your bubs eye colour become evident for certain?

[Visitor7]

dusty - cool av, huh

nappy free time - well we have it all the time. But we can up here as it's warm. Eye colour, ummm, not sure. Nina has always had blue eyes, Emily has always had brown eyes.

It was a crazy morning, but fun. I was able to have a little rest. It'll be takeaway for us tonight, I'm waaaay too tired to cook lol

[Rachett]

Hey Dusty, I asked the clinic nurse the same question about eye colour, apparently at around 6 months. Also I try to give Hudson a bit of kick time at every nappy change and then at bathtime, I have had LOADS of pooh and week accidents doing this though.
Gorgeous picture of Freya, she has lovely chubby little cheeks and she looks like she's smiling.

I just weighed myself and Hudson on the Wi Fit and it tried telling me he weighs 6.1kgs!!!!! I certainly hope not, that would mean he's gained 800grms in one week.. and he's only 6 weeks old.
He's going to end up like the 20kg kid in China that's been on the news the last fews days.

I'm still loving cloth!! Still using sposies at night, Leigh and Jodi what cloth nappies do you use at night?

I have a girlfiend in labour at the moment, she was 5cm dialated at 10am so we're expecting to hear some exciting news very soon!!!

[Visitor7]

I'm a little slack and using sposies at night at the moment. Still trying to find my groove with the housework etc, so don't want to overload myself with housework.
Don't worry about the weight, DD2 was 6kg at 4 weeks. She is a chubby girl still (17kg), but at least if she gets sick, she has reserves. Unlike DD1, who is tall and skinny and has no reserves.
Forgot to say, Ambah is now in 000 clothing. Some 000's are too short as she has long legs. I have absolutely no summer clothes in 000 though. I've bought a few items that were secondhand today, but will have to buy some more.

[Rachett]

Wow 6kgs at 4 weeks, okay that does make me feel better. I can really feel it when carrying/holding H now, so heavy. Your girls are gorgeous Jodi.
I really overdid it on the clothes, H has already outgrown so many of his 000's and they've hardly been worn. I hope I get another boy one day so I can get more use out of them.
Luckily I have a fair few 00 outfits. I'm guessing you won't need too much for summer in Cairns, less would definitely best in that heat. Def singlet and nappy weather.

[Visitor7]

yep, Ambah is in a singlet and nappy right now under the fan.
ETA: oppps, hit the post button before finishing!

DD2 was only 8lb 1oz at birth as well, but she just has that sort of build where she gains weight really easily (poor girl). A bit like her mummy.
Thanks re: my girls being gorgeous. I think so too
