morning all,

Linz- shannon's almost 17 weeks (she's 2 days older than Rhys). She's much better now that we've stopped some of her medicines. It's horrible cos the acid hurts her before it comes up and there's nothing we can do to stop the pain.

Think i'm going to get some baby rice for shannon cos she's getting really hungry, we're constantly feeding her. She's put more weight on now which is good - 12lb 30z. Think i'm going to have to start putting her in 3-6mth trousers cos 0-3 are a bit short.

Take care

OMG Thomas is only 11 weeks and weighs 14lb 13oz. He is a hungry boy but I keep telling myself as long as he is healthy who cares. H was in 3-6 month clothes weeks ago.

The MIL is coming over tomorrow with OH aunt and cousin. Spoke to her last night and she says I have my key (from before Thomas was born) I'll let myself in, as I have Drs and might not be back. I said no! I think thats so cheeky. OH asked her for key back now she thinks she can just use it.

Thomas seems to be getting over his cough now. It was waking him during the night. There was nothing I could give him cos of his age.

I'm so annoyed we havent had any kind of summer. I had all these plans and haven't been able to do anything.

Hope everyones ok.

Luv Laura

Hi there, hope your all well.  Took Amir to be weighed he is now 14weeks and weighs 18lb 8ounz - I couldn't believe it.

My periods too have not settled in to a routine I had the injection but think I may go back on the pill.

Anyway nothing too report.

Hi,

Oliver was weighed last Friday and weighs 14lb 13oz. He has now discovered how to scream - very high pitched. He does it all the time followed by a laugh. Was cute at first but at 3am this morning it was not!

I'm loving OH been away this week, can totally chill out when Oliver is in bed. Bliss.

Lou, have you started weaning Amir yet? He's a little bruiser isn't he - bet he's so cute you could eat him up!

My periods have settled down now but don't last as long -yeah!

Guna watch BB now and then Alan Carr.

Laura - my MIL invited herself for tea Friday and as there wasn't enough, she had mine! Grr. I too am annoyed we haven't had a summer. Wanted to walk the buggie loads but cant in the rain! Well, more a case of don't want to!

Hope everyone has a nice evening! x

Wow Louise - Amir must be a chubster! Bless!

Laura - Olivia is now into 6-9 months clothes now and she's coming up to 4 months! Ive still got clothes which are brand new and not had the chance to wear them! Nightmare. maybe they'll come in handy for baby number 2 if its another girl! 

Katie - How funny is Oliver I bet he does it to get a reaction from you's. 

Well I still havent been over to the in laws this week. Dont really want to as when I left Olivia with them last week for a few hours so that I spring clean the house. She ended up not settling and crying at the top of her voice for 2 hours. Even took OHages to try and settle her.  Is it so wrong that I dont go over with the LO cos I dont like them???

Anyway must dash OH has walked into the living room

nite

Wow, Olivers first tooth was a fang and was it Emma's little one too who got a fang? Sorry terrible memory!

Oliver awaking lots in the night at the min, hes still having one feed in the night. But he's waking at 5am and won't go back to sleep! Any tips?

Katie xoxo

Afternoon all-

Katie- maybe Oliver is starting to get ready to be weaned? Have you asked your HV? Or poss he just wants more milk? Do you give him a 'dream feed'? I give Lucy a last feed about 10pm and she sleeps through to after 8-8.30am. Did the same with Sophie and only dropped that feed when she was being weaned. Dunno if that helps? Most of the articles and books I read suggest a late evedning feed to fill their tummy through the night, but maybe you are doing that.

Hope everyone is well? Lucy has her 3rd jags next week- will be interesting to see what she weighs- I think she will be similar to Amir, very good appetite.

Karen- how is wee Olivia in 6-9 month clothes already? I thought she was cute and wee? Lucy very comfortably fits the 3-6 month stuff but most of her real cloth nappies make her look like a sumo!!

Have a great weekend ladies!

I was dream feeding him but stopped this week as he was still waking at the same time for a bottle. Will give it another go. I was under impression they need weaning when milk isn't filling them? Oliver only has 4oz a time, 5oz if he's been really hungry! I'm totally thick to it all! Thanks for your advice I really appreciate it.

Karen, Oliver has only just moved into 3-6months clothes! Is Olivia long? x

Hey ladies!

What is this dream feed?? never heard of it.  Recently Olivia has only taken an oz for her 1am feed then she lasts till 4 or 5am. Is this a dream feed??Katie - the HV told me the same thing. Olivia doesnt take more than 4oz.  

I think Olivia is long as I had to snip the toes off hee 3-6 months sleep suits when she was 2 months old. It was getting a short in the arms and a little tight around the belly.  Will have to get her weighed next week.

Olivia went to the out laws earlier this evening so that I could paint the kitchen. After stripping her for her bath, I noticed a brown stain on her body suit when I took this off I noticed that her right nipple was inflamed, red and ouzing some kind of water. first thought was that some hot liquid was spilt on her whilst over at the out laws. Rang OH and he said nothing had happened whilst she was over there. Looked closer at her clothing, there was nothing on her outer top just her body suit. She's not in any discomfort and is not ratty. Will keep an eye on it over the weekend. 

Well ladies have a good weekend
