Laura and Paula well done on the weight loss i am in all my old clothes now but i needed to loose weight before i got preg anyway so hopefully i will loose more im bf and walking with the pram loads so fingers crossed im getting married in Aug next year so hopefully i will have a slinky wedding dress by then
Bev, christina, Gemma and nyone else ive missed hows things with u and babies?
re sleeping Aiden usually goes down about 10.30 - 4pm ish he feeds the goes straight back down till about 7 thats when he has a little play around goes back down about 8ish till 10ish so im getting a pretty good sleep hes also realy good at entertainin himself so i dont need to be holding him all the time when hes awake either i put him in his bouncer with vibrate on and he will sit for ages thank god, i cant believe how much he looks like a little boy now hes completely lost his newborn baby look and hes starting to get his own personality cooing and smiling every smile is so special i love it
Froggy T still not napping during the day perfers to be awake & whinging just like his dad lol not doing badly during the nite goes off to bed about 10.30ish & will sleep til about 4 maybe 5am on a good day if im lucky.
Julz good to hear rountine working is the Colief working aint got around to buying it yet must do through but kinda used to the crying/commuincation i just see it as froggy trying to tell me something & i just got to guess what it is lol like a tourist who dont speak the language i keep telling myself @ 3 in the morning, as for registering we did try last week to register but was told we need an appt cant walk in so have an appt for 2wks time was disappointed at time but glad nw as totally gone off da name Trey
glad youre well kirsty, laura & ash hope evryone else is good
hope you dont mind me intruding, i have been lurking for ages since the 1st baby was born.
i am loving all the baby tales, i am hoping for my BFP this month, so far it looks hopefull, af/bfp due next week, been feeling queasy since fri/sat, dizzy light headed and sore (.)(.)'s and coffee dont taste quite right!!! it may be in my head but you guys will be the first to know.

Es, good to hear from you, I have added you as a friend on facebook. I have fingers and toes crossed for your bfp this month, you so deserve it hun xx
Pearl, you still crack me up love, its so funny that you havent got a name yet, although i dont suppose its funny for you. Glad the froggy t sleeps through like that ona good night, hope things improve during the day for you xx
J8ulz, I had a look on facebook at your pics of Tyler and he is so so bloody scrummy!!
Ash, glad all is going well with Aiden, the smiles and coos are fantastic arent they
Vicky, hope the smell goes soon.
Julz, Vicky and Laura, Thanks for the advice on when to put Toby is his own room. mark wants to do it soon but im just not ready yet so i will put it off as long as possible i think. Laura i think i will be like you and have Toby in with me until he is 6 months!!!

Es thanxs for name suggestions i hope you get a bfp soon fingers crossed for you girl.

Kirsty glad toby & u are alrite you been blessed with the perfect baby u lucky so & so hows the hubby? regarding when to put Toby in own room I think it just depends on when youre comfortable as long as toby has a warm bed im sure he wont mind.
Ash glad you & aiden are well i have just started getting smiles & coos its so cool i can just watch froggy all day.
Vicky glad smell is easing off u nutter it sounds so completley like something I would do.
we need updated pics everyone get on the case digital cameras at the ready as soon as i remeber how to do this will post updated pic of froggy T
Sorry they are small, it would take up pages otherwise lol.
Ash, you've got a good sleeper there too then! It's good that you can leave him to get on with things alone when you need to.
Pearl, we are waiting for it to be delivered, got it on Ebay for £7.
Es, everything crossed for you! Sounds good, I felt like that to start with, blergh. Let us know!!!!!!
Kirsty, another reaon we moved Tyler to his room is because my OH works nights most of the time and goes/comes back at random times of the night, so we don't want Tyler waking up when he comes in.
OH isn't back at work now!!!! They told him he's not going back until he's seen the company doctor, who knows how long that will take to organise lol. So far he's worked for 3 out of the 12weeks of Tylers life!!!!! lol I can't complain!!!! x
Ah I'm very awake today. We went shopping in Southampton yesterday, and Tyler slept for the whole 4.5 hours!!!! I thought he was going to be awake all night and had braced myself for a night of waking and feeding all the time...
...Instead, guess what we got... ...Tyler slept from 7:30pm until 4:30am! Had a feed, then went back to sleep for another 2hours!!! lol Yay!
Ugh, we've got Tylers 3month jabs on Wednesday!! Eek!!
Julz - The photos of Tyler are lovely, he is a star. I will try to add some more recent pics of Isla soon. Good to hear Tyler slept well.
Ash - Glad Aiden is doing well, he sounds like a little star.
Es - Nice to hear from you, will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Vicky - I hope the house is returning to normal after your adventures!
Hi to all the other Mums and babies I have not mentioned, hope you are all keeping well.
I hope everyone else is doing ok today. Isla is still asleep, woke at 6.30 for a feed and then didn't go back to sleep till 8 so trying to get some housework done whilst I can. It is my Granfather's 70th birthday today so we are going out for lunch, I hope Isla will behave herslef and let me get some lunch.
Tyler has slept 9hours for the 3rd night in a row!! How impressive! And he goes back to sleep until after 7am now!! He woke up yesterday with scratches down the lft side of his nose, and we didn't know why they were just there, But during the day we realised he has learnt to suck his thumb at some point!!! It's so cute lol.
Sorry not to be as regular a poster as the rest of you but Kerensa takes up 99% of my time bless her - she is very much a people person!
When she was last weighed on Weds 13th (at 6 weeks old) she weighed nearly 9lbs so she has put on nearly 3lbs in 6 weeks (since her birth weight of 6lbs 4oz) which is great. Daddy has been away on business a great deal so I've been managing on my own but for the last 3 nights Kerensa has slept in her Moses basket after putting her down at 7pm! Admittedly she is going through a major growth spurt this week and is (breast)feeding every two hours at night, despite getting enough feeds during the day (15-20mins) but I am sure she will begin to settle back to her 2-3 three hourly night feeds in due course. Has anyone else experienced similar?
By the way Julz I love the photos of Tyler - especially the B&W one of him and Daddy - it is amazing how much they develop by three months!
Just a quick post to say that I have been looking on Facebook at all the gorgeous babies. It is so nice to be able to see all their beautiful pictures and to put faces to all the people I have been talking to more all these months.
I have added some more pics of Isla to my page this morning too.
Hey, what bottles are people using?? As Tyler was getting bad wind/colic we started using Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature - Anti-colic Plus, but they take as much farting around with as typing the name! It takes ages because you can't put hot water in them until it's cooled, and our formula has to be made with near boiling water, which we have to make in a normal bottle, then transfer when it's cool enough!!! ugh!!! We are going to now try the NUK First Choice bottles (Mothercare) as they appear to have great reviews. Just wondering if anyone uses these??
Tyler slept the whole night lastnight!!! Well, 7pm - 5am (I got up) Then he slept for another hour! He sucks his thumb loads now too, needs a little help as his arm control is still a little wobbly, but if you hold it, he can stick his thumb in his mouth and is happy from there on!!
Just a quick post as I am shattered today. Unfortunately for me the dreaded lady monthly returned today with avengence!! I had forgotton what it was likeo I have spend most of the day feeling like crap!!
Laura, I agree looking at the pics on facebook and putting faces to names is really great. Love the pics of all the babies, they are all so gorgeous.
Julz we use the avent bottles and they work for us, sorry i cant be of much help to you hun.
Hope everyone else is alright.
Toby is still being fab, havent really got anything different to say apart fom he is just fantastic and i love him so god damn much!!!
so unfair all these full nites sleep theres no change here froggy still going to sleep between 10.00 -11.00pm waking @ 4 or 5 am then sleeping til 7/8am long for a good nites sleep.
