Hi K8, hope all is well?!

Don't want to show off too much.. But I've just had a lay in till 10:50!! Baby slept from 11:30pm, woke at 3 and 7 for a feed then i had to wake him up at 11! It was very much broken sleep with all his little squeaks and my bigger boy coming in on and off, but still counts! I could get used to that kind of action! Although doesn't work very well for days I have any plans of course. I recently signed my big boy up for tennis fun from 9-12 Tuesday to Friday as he's getting a bit bored at home, but am now totally regretting it!

What's everyone up to today? I need inspiration! Xxx

Cooking for the man while he watches the footy

and oh god I need a wee, but got a little man on me! He done well for me last night waking at 4.30 and 7.30 getting up at 9/9.30 But he sleeps next to me in the bed so even tho OH was trying to cuddle me from behind I was cuddling babs so I get a bit more sleep haha
this babs doesn't do sleeping in his own bed, it's like he's got a build in sensor that wakes him up the minute you move!!

I don't know how babies know that they're in our beds but mine definitely sleeps better in ours too! I don't even cuddle him but he just knows! I put him in our bed after his morning feed every morning so I can try n get a little more shut eye xx

Same as my baby! She wont settle after her 6 o clock feed unless i put her in my bed lol then i cant sleep because I'm scared Il squish her! Xx

 

[Colourmeblue]

Yep ditto - after her 6am feed, she wont settle in her crib, but will happily sleep in our bed. So i wait for OH to go work, then i get all the covers and pillows off the bed, get into my onesie and I doze for a bit while she sleeps. Must be the smell of mummy and daddy's bed

I'm exactly the same! And I was always so against co-sleeping!

 

[MiniVoid]

I stopped being scared when I proofed the bed and started being more rested, I can understand it being dangerous being exhausted. Lo sleeps in his own onesie or sleepbag en I have the quilt wrapped around me and tucked under. To be fair this morning he was a bit cold and had his feet tucked in. I do put the pillowu in a mad way so I only have a little corner to put me head on but it works. As long as I'm having to do the night feeds and look after him all day while OH has to go work or summit I do whatever keeps me sane! Glad when this summer is over and his room cools down to 18 and he can just wear a onesie under his sleepbag and keep warm without being paranoid of him overheating because it warms up too quick when the sun comes up! I do put him down in the day with the monitor on but it usually works for a max of 10-20 mins.

Oh and TMI alert. but what's the deal with these piles that came out of the blue -.-' I blame it on British gravity never had this in Holland

 

[Bbybump16]

Well oh's gone back to work I feel ok about it today but had a right cry Friday lol my little man is at football week so that makes it a lot Easyer I might even look for another one or him he is bored and driving me mad !and two friends had baby's at the weekend one 9 pound and one 10 pound so Eliza's is still little compaired she gets weighed 2moz i think she about 8 pound somethink , We had a good sleep last night woke at 3 and was fast asleep for just before 4 and then didn't wake till 7 and is now fed and asleep so off I go for a nap

 

[Clairexx]

My oh only went back yesterday too so I'm just getting used to it too, plus my bigger boy is also driving me mad as he's always bored, so I've signed him up for tennis club down the road for a few hours every morning.. Now just the struggle of getting out the house to get there in time for 9am!! Not sure how I'm going to manage it yet - I didnt get to shower it brush my teeth until 3pm yesterday!! Xx

So, me & OH decided yesterday that we will start ttc once Harrison turns 2.. July 2015. Its quite exciting thinking about it actually! I want our wedding to be August 2015, so that'll be "something to think about" during our honeymoon haha x

Oh that's nice Sarah!

We've decided we're done, OH has a 12 y/o at first we thought perhaps 2 children but now we're like nah just the one haha the whole being pregnant thing wasn't really my type of cookie I felt awful. I'd give birth a million times over but being pregnant not for a very long while for me and OH doesn't want another 10 year gap so 2 kids for him 1 for me!

[laurat]

Id be thinking that we would wait at least till R is 2 before we tried again too. Mind you I dont know if I can ever have another.

Oh girls we went for our first swim today. Huby has the week off so it was perfect. Our little cutie looked the business in his wee wetsuit and he was so good. He bobbed around in the water so happy and I folowed the instructions of my cousin who is a swimfants instructor and blew in his face and dunked. He didnt even seemed to phased at all. Gets him used to the water and over the fear apparently. I just love these 'first' moments!!

 

[SaraLouise]

Just weighed Harrison & he is now 9lb! Considering he started at 5lb 12oz, 5 & a half weeks ago I think that's pretty good going! All on mummy milk too! What a little fattie haha, still on the 9th centile though so is still little, but he's following his curve perfectly

Thanks amazing!! ahh lil chucky Harrison

Noah gets weighed tomorrow.. I think hell be more than 11lb lol!
He was 10lb 4oz 2weeks ago! xx

 

[Clairexx]

Aww little chunks all round! My hv said to only get baby weighed monthly, but that seems like quite a long time to me! Did yours tell you any rules? Probably different for different areas again no doubt. With my first (8years ago) I was advised to go weekly! Clearly all about cuts. Xx

 

[SaraLouise]

They told me I could go weekly if I wanted but I can't be bothered haha, so I just put him on the bathroom scales lol. He's got his 6 week check soon so he'll be weighed 'officially' then x
