Time for a new thread folks. Old thread is here.

Gold

Yes! - first one. I make sure DP comes, and I make him hold Lachlan when he gets his shots. After his initial scream, you can see the look on his face of, "why did you let that awful lady do that to me?" Then when they are done I can't grab my poor bubba fast enough to comfort him with some booby.
I'm so relieved now that we don't have to do that again for another 6 months.

SILVER!

LOL - glad it's not just me - I can't even watch her little face - just have to grab her and give her cuddles ASAP!

BRONZE!

Hi all,

First One, I take DH too and make him hold James. I figure then I'm not the big meanie. I don't like it but I've never cried (even with blood tests) and luckily he gets over it pretty quickly.

Well, tooth number 2 popped through a couple of days ago. All in all the cutting itself was a pretty painless (physically and mentally) experience which is good. He's pretty much by the book - bottom central incisors first. Swimming is going well - he loves it but it makes him very tired. 7 months on Monday - not too sure where the time has gone...

Hi Ya All,

Mickey, - Good news re a relatively painless tooth eruptions. Lachlan has the same two.
Glad swimming is going well. Have you put your bubs head under yet, or does that come later? We missed term at the school that we wanted to go to, so we are practicing in our pool, but I don't want to put his head under until we go to classes. His kicking is going well though.

Well, over the last couple of days our day sleeps have improved a little. Hope they keep going in that direction. better go, buggerluggs is winging. It's bath time, and he has rusk bits from head to knee.

Luci...

P.S. Happy 7 months b'day James, Ethan, and Zach.

Hi All,

Apologies for being AWOL for awhile, motherhood is certainly the busiest job I've ever had!! Between mothers group/baby yoga and generally having coffee with friends/family the days just seem to go very quickly.


Caitlin is going really well (4 months tomorrow), however her reflux is still providing us with lots of challenges, particularly trying to settle her at night. I'm still feeding her every 3-4 hours even at night so that makes at least 4 months of sleep deprivation! I've learnt to live with it now and just try and nap when I can. I switched to bottle feeding to see if that helped but alas it has not provided any real improvments. We are going to try starting solids early to see if that helps and hopefully will get to go to a Tresillian hospital soon to guide us on settling techniques.


Hope all the other babies are going really well and that everyone is enjoying our little miracles.

Hi everyone,

Photo update time. Lachlan at 7 months.

"It's for you mummy!"



CanberraKat, - It certainly is the busiest job ever. I'm sure everyone agrees, especially with how quiet it has been here. Sorry about Caitlan's reflux. Are you using special reflux formula that you can get on prescription? I hope solids can help her poor little tummy.

AFM, - Lachlan is doing much better with his sleep. He's having good naps twice a day now, for about 50mis to 1.5hrs each (usually). I'm not feeding him to sleep now. I'm able to take him off, then read him a few books, and put him in the cot awake, and then pat him to sleep while singing to him. All with no tears, in minimal time. The goal is to be able to put him in his cot awake and walk out, and I'm sure we will get there soon enough. He still has a few teething problems, I think the top ones are moving about now. After they are through I think we will have a break from teething for a while.
We weighed him yesterday, and at 7 months he is now 9.03kg, and 73cm long. I can hardly carry him anymore, - Where has my little bubba gone.
AF returned for me the other day, which starts a new chapter. We haven't any frosties and we're not going to do IVF again, but we are going to try naturally and see what happens. Probably nothing due to my age, but you never know.

Hope everyone is well. Look forward to a few updates.

Ards, - You are getting very close now. I hope you are comfortable, and kicking back.

Cheers All,

Luci...

Hi ladies,

Been very very quiet in here lately! Hope you are all well?

Ards, have you popped yet??!!

Luci, gorgeous pic! Sounds like you've made some very positive progress on Lachlans sleeping too. I've been pretty fortunate with Taylor - she's been very content to be put down when tired and left to sort herself out to sleep. She's also happy to be plonked on a rug when out and she normally plays until she wants to sleep whereby she shoves a thumb in mouth and rolls over and falls asleep. She also wakes and lays quietly or chats to herself until I find her. Very lucky me. Although we still don't sleep through the night LOL.

Mickey, Bree, Kitty, Lotus, Kat - hope you are all well and your bubbas are behaving

AFM: Taylor is doing well. We've started a mums group now which is fun - lots of other bubs her age which is great. I can't believe how quickly she's growing though. She's such an independent miss - wants to be sitting all the time now, puts everything in her gob and is generally a smiley happy bub. I can certainly understand why people have more LOL. Not for us though - one is enough

I'm about to start introducing a formula feed (she's five months now) - going to stay BFing but want the flexibility of being able to offer a bottle. She's had a go on a bottle of EBM and did really well so am now back to expressing to get some freezer stocks. How did you guys choose a formula? There are so many *sigh*.

Anyway, in the interest of picture updates (hint hint everyone), here are a couple taken yesterday...one in her tea cosy, one with a teether
