Babies born~February 16th-28th 2010 #1

[SorensMum]

Hello, my name is Lexa-Rose, I'm new here.

My first child, a boy, Soren, was born on Feb 25th 2010.

Everythings going great so far, looking forward to becomming a part of this little sub-community.

Welcome Lexa-Rose, what a gorgeous name Soren is! Does it have a meaning?

Anyway I popped in to say................

FREDDY SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT LAST NIGHT!!!!!! YAY

I was only doing a small feed at about 2.30 - 3am anyway and wasn't to tired really but it makes such a difference not having disrupted sleep, what a gem he is, such a contented bubba and hopefully now sleeping through.

Just me and Amyhunz recently along with Sorensmum as a new joiner, anyone else still out there???

Soren means God of Thunder apparently. Hubby wanted to name him Thor, so I found an alternative.

Wow! You're lucky! Soren gets up every 3-4 hours for a feed still and isn't showing any signs of sleeping through yet.

Welcome Lexa-Rose and YAY for Freddie! BTW - when you say 'slept through', how many hrs is that? I'm just curious cause everyone seems to have a different understanding of it. Josh has been waking for a feed at 4.15am after dream feed at 10.30pm...I'm hoping he drops this soon!

[Shar]

hey
Freddy goes to bed at 7 - 7.30pm, dream feed at 10-10.30pm, then he was having a small feed at 2.30-3am but last night slept through and woke at 6.30am!!!

[SorensMum]

I just realised Freddy and Soren were born on the same day! Yay!

8 hour is fantastic!!!

[amyhunz]

Great work Freddy! How nice for you shar hopefully Josh isn't too far behind but i'm not holding my breath. His sister slept through at 7 weeks so it's been a bit of a learning curve for us that all kids are different!

[Shar]

for tonight
I'll drop by tomorrow and let you know what happens!! I've got a feeling that it may have been a fluke.

[SorensMum]

Soren had his usual 3.30am feed last night and then decided to wake up early at 6.00am. Gah! I am so sleepy!

He was weighed and measured last week, 6.5kg and 66cms long. He's wearing 00's which is annoying, because he's outgrown a lot of clothes he never wore, lol, I'll just have to have another.

What about your lot?

[amyhunz]

Oh my goodness what a healthy boy you have! I haven't weighed Josh in a few weeks but I'm guessing 4.5kgs. He's in 000's ATM. He's quite long but definitely not chubby. He's always been a little below the average.

How did Freddy go Shar? Josh had a shocker last night. Kept waking up screaming, arching his back and just generally distressed. He's been irritible today as well I wish this reflux thing would go away!

[Shar]

I should have known better than to get excited!!!

7pm down to bed, 11pm Dream feed, 3.30am awake and wanted a small feed!!

He had his jabs yesterday and didn't eat as much in the day and was a bit irritable so maybe he just got hungrey?

Oh well, im not shattered or sleep deprived so can't complain, if he starts to do the odd night sleeping through from dream feed then its a bonus at this stage.

Soren was cranky for about 24 hours after his jabs. Needed extra cuddles, his thighs around the puncture swelled up a wee bit and went very red, was heartbreaking.

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been on here in ages. Hope you are all well!!!

We are doing really well Lukas got his hip result and all is ok YAY, however now we are concerned about his eyes they seem to turn in a fair bit so will be seeing a specialist about that when he is a bit older (6mths). Other than that he is great lots of smiles and baby talk!! He is sleeping from 10:30 to 4ish then until 7-8am so I am getting enough sleep. Big brother is also well and enjoying having someone to play with (if you can call it that).

Would be interested to find out where babys are at weight wise, Lukas was 5.25kg at his 8 week check (1.2kg smaller than my 1st DS was).

Take care

Soren was 6.5kg at 8 weeks.

GREAT news about Lukas...you must be relieved. Sounds like his weight is right on track. My DS weighs about 5.3kgs now at 11 weeks. My DD was always above the average but my DS has tracked slightly below from birth. I guess they're all just different and it's working out what's normal for them.

We're doing well. Josh's reflux is starting to improve with the meds and other natural therapies. He started sleeping 7-8 hrs overnight at 10 weeks so I'm much happier these days and able to cope better with the ups and downs.

I took Josh to sleep school (day stay) on Mon just to get a professional opinion on how I'm settling him and interpreting his cries. It was a great experience. If anyone's looking for a great day stay PM me and I'll email you the details (Sydney).

OK. Grocery time...hmm...it's become quite the experience with 2 under 2!

Soren was 6.5kg at his 8 week weigh.

Hey All

With some bubs having hit 3 months and some coming up in the next few days I thought I'd
drop in and see how your all going?

Freddy is great and a very contented and calm bubs.
Eating and sleeping well.

Its scary where the time is going!!!

Hope you and your bubbas are all ok

It's a bit quiet in here Shar glad to hear everything's good on your front. Freddie sounds adorable and such a good boy! Josh is doing well also. The longer nights are a God send...you forget what good sleep feels like! Let's hope it stays that way. Anyway, he's starting to show his little personality more and more...it makes up for the hard weeks in the beginning. He's still weighing a little below average but I'm not worried. My poor nipples are suffering this week with cracks galore. Shooting pain every time I feed...ouch! Anyway, I'm off! Would love to hear from everyone
