From miscarriages to miracle - James Michael. Our sticky bean born on Daddy's B'day

[CARNAT22]

It must just vary between health trusts then hun???

I know that both my SIL's and my sis and James have all been given birth length (so that's 7 kids all measured at birth, all born in 2 hospitals within the same health trust though!)

XXXXXXXX

James is the most smiley baby and still I can't get a piccie! I did manage to get these (excuse the scratch, I still don't know how he did it as he has no fingernails!)

Love his grin in the 1st picture xx

Oh well, I guess his record book will have to be a ? Lol I would have measured him myself if I had known they didn't measure them. I was a bit dazed after my labour so didn't notice of he had been measured then I asked HV and she said that there was no note of it.

James is a wee fly man not smiling. He looks like a smiley baby though, Jackson always does the mouth open with a little smile when I kiss him lol xxxxx

Nat James is simply adorable! I love his wee smile, babies must know when the camera come out?
We go to a under 1s singing group and M loves it espcially the "action" songs like Hickory Dickory Dock and The Grand old Duke of York where she goes up and down in the air, always get huge smiles although she weighs a tonne so my back and arms ache!
Do you have a surestart centre around? They have lots of baby groups to go to.

M got measured when she was first born, must just be a trust to trust thing x

Aw, such cute pics!! Think you've got a bit of a smile in the first one Harry just stares at the camera when I try to take pics of him, so it is hard! One day you'll get it... xxx

Awwww hunny beautiful piks, James is such a gorgeous little chappy x x

3rd jabs this afternoon! These are the one's I've been dreading as it's the x3 injections.

James was hysterical for the first lot, had a hissy fit but calmed quickly for the 2nd lot but I reckon these will be horrid.

I'll make sure I have a bottle on the ready.

Good luck with the jabs Hun x

 

[ceebee]

Hope James (and you!) got on ok today... I got DH to take Harry for his 3rd set as he was off work. Now he knows what i's like and I got to miss out on the horrible 3 jabs... xxx

 

[CARNAT22]

James was fine. He had a proper scream (and there were actual tears) but he was asleep by the time we left the surgery.

Granny popped round this evening and James has actually been pretty cheerful?? He is fast asleep now.

[Sproglett]

Well done James you brave little man x x

 

[russellmuscle]

I've still to get Jacksons first set done they are dragging their feet!

Well done James xxxxx

 

[ceebee]

Glad the little mite is ok xxx

James is 4 months old today, I can barely believe it.

Where has the time gone???

I was just sorting through some old paperwork and I came across all my miscarriage information - scan reports from 1st and 3rd miscarriage, results from recurrent miscarriage clinic, all my appointment letters. It's been such a long time since I even let myself think about that and I've been in tears for the past 20 minutes. Not the most productive way to spend bub's nap-time

I think the reason I am so emotional is because we finally had our baby and I cannot believe how much I love him and how much I love being a Mummy.

I know that losing the other beans meant we got James and I am thankful for that, I just feel sad that we went through so much. How did we cope??

James is an amazing baby and he makes being a Mummy so easy. We are very lucky!

Time to wipe away the tears, open all the curtains / blinds and let the glorious sunshine in

Massive hugs. It was such a difficult time in your life and of course you'll get a little upset when you think about it.
I always find hugging the little squishy ones I do have with me makes me feel a million times better

That is until Damon found the sentence, "no mum, I busy" *sigh*

 

[Sproglett]

I totally understand hunny, I was given a nursery rhyme book the first time I was pregnant that was published the year I was born, I totally forgot that inside it was a scan picture from my first pregnancy. It's hard to think you have had to say goodbye to 3 angels to welcome your son into your world, but I know it makes us both all the more grateful for our little boys and even on the roughest of days we will never take for granted how fortunate we are to have our boys safe and sound, I am so happy that you have James now and that he has made you so happy. to you guys x x

 

[CARNAT22]

Thanks Simone and Sal,

I think having children is so precious and that makes having a loss even harder, I know now what I lost back then?????

Thankfully we all have our angels hey!!

Anyhoo, on a happier note James is now 13lb 12oz and following the 25th line nicely! Weigh in again in 2 weeks and as long as he hasn't slipped again we'll go to monthly weigh-ins.

James' new toy (his play tray for his Bumbo)

[russellmuscle]

Well done James! I haven't had J weighed in ages. The HV here don't seem to be fussed. My first visit they even commented legally they only need to see me & J once? Do they get weighed when they go for jabs?

How old do they need to be to go in the bumbo nat? I'm thinking of buying jackson one. I like u can have the toys or even nibbles when they r older on the tray.

xxxxx

 

[ceebee]

Aw hon, it must be hard thinking about your angels, but it's great that you're seeing the positive from it...
Love the pic of James is his bumbo - his little personality is starting to shine through Well done both of you for getting James weight back to where it should be xxx
