Quoting jade n my boys ♥:" aww glad you still feel good! i think with me when i hit 31-32 weeks is when i started not loving it ... [snip!] ... from ya and how lil bubba is going sorry it takes me soo long to reply this lil munchkin keeps me on my feet lol xxxxxxx"

hey can u pm me your address i have some newborn baby clothes to send you as axel is sooo big he doesnt fit in heaps now and also some he hasnt even worn before (although i already took the tags off) u dont have to have the clothes if u dont want but they havent been vomited on or pooped on and would have either been worn once twice or not at all also have a brand new manual breast pump if u want that, i have opened the box and used the spare feeding bottle it comes with but never used the pump as i brought an electric one instead but if u have a good flow you could get away with using the manual let me know if u want me to send that too (the clothes will be unisex too haha and theres some such cute things) xxxxxxx

hahah yeah i can actually see that now, sleep is pretty much impossible for me now which is no fun as soon as i get comfy and about fall asleep, bubs decides its gymnastic time inside my belly haha im 32 weeks now and im just getting to the ok, im ready for you to be out now, stage. i know he/she isnt actually ready yet and i would never wish them out early but it would be nice if the next few weeks fly by!
haha free boob job that sounds good, pain not so much. aww i was really looking forward to sleeping on my belly.guess ill have to wait a few more months. How is breastfeeding going?
i know it has flown by so fast! its so crazy! yeah its gone really fast! I think we were the same though, because we both worked it kept our mind off it, i think that makes it go by faster than sitting at home and thinking about it all the time. that would drive me crazy!

I cannot believe he is almost a month old! or he is a month old, what date was he born? ohh one long stitch through everything, how lovely that sounds, im glad your not in too much pain though! still bleeding? have you had many after pain type of things?

ohh i hope boy!! and not really much more luck with names, but maybe a girl will be Molly Rose and Boy we like Benjamin but neither of thse we are set on haha just names we have thrown around, something we really have to start looking into more haha we just havent yet! we cant decide we have such different opinions!
hahah aww thats so cute!!like a half arsed cry rather than a real one! how sweet, watching his personality grow must be so incredible! how has it all been going? has he been sleeping well? how are you finding it?

oh wow so yu have a crazy good milk supply then! has it settled down any or do you still have a whole heap? and yay for dummies! I have had so many people be like "no dont use them", "they are so bad" i just laugh, if i need a dummy ill sure as hell use one. im glad it has worked for you! and yeah thats what im worried about, the lack of help. did Sean have any time off when bubba came? Tom MIGHT have a week but we still dont know yet as he starts a new job next week. butotherwise he will just be goign to work and ill do it all myself and i mean i know he cant really help with feeds or anything anyway! is he still on the same routine of feeding and sleeping?

hows the reflux and all going! i bet its hard! i have no idea what to expect which freaks me out! and i totally understand tha you cant get on often to write! dont worry abotu that at all! i dont care if i onl hear from you once a month ahah you have a crazy life at the moment haha! what have you found the hardest? is it what you expected?

haha yeah bubba gets hiccups at least once a day now. its so weird! i love it though! although im kinda at that stage where wen he/she is moving around it kinda hurts! and bubs wont stay head down and would rather lay across my tummy which is super uncomfy and not great if it stays that way. so imdoing all these oga exercises to try and make him.her move where it shoudl be haha! and yesterday when i was driving to work i threw up all over myself and my car -__- becasue i have feet in my stomach and it just makes me vomit like instantly. its gross haha!
but apart from that everything is going really well and im super excited! I cant believe il be full term in 5 weeks! its gone so fast! its crazy but im so excited  
i hoep all is well with you and little me Axel <3 he is so dam adorable by the way! his eyes are just incredible!
<3 xxxxx

Quoting Mcpreggo butt:" hahah yeah i can actually see that now, sleep is pretty much impossible for me now which is no fun ... [snip!] ... well with you and little me Axel <3 he is so dam adorable by the way! his eyes are just incredible! <3 xxxxx "

yer when i hit where you are now is when i just wanted it to be over. it did go fast but at the time it seemed to start going slow from that point.
yer the pain has gone now its just when my milk lets down it hurts a little but i think thats because it comes out with force lol! i think your milk sort of regulates at around 3 weeks because my boobs never get engorged now apart from today but thats because axel had a feeding frenzy for the past 2 days (i think he was having a growth spurt) he was feeding around every hour and wanted to be held constantly and screamed a lot and didnt sleep for 15 hours the first day it started it was sooo exhausting! apart from that its awesome you get a proper bond with the baby and its an amzing feeling that i grew him inside me now all he is eating/drinking comes from my body so i have made him gain so much weight he has put on over 2lbs since birth! yer that would have drive me crazy too haha!

yer he is 5 weeks well turned 5 weeks yesterday its gone so bloody quick its insane! hes growing way too fast though, he doesnt even look newborn anymore   yer i had a look yesterday and part of the stitch more on the inside still hasnt dissolved yet, and im still slightly bleeding it sucks im so over wearing pads. na it hurts down there sometimes where the stitch is but not too bad oh and the first week or so you still have contractions wich hurt a bit from breastfeeding and your uterus contracting back down to size.

naw theyr cute names, me and sean had lots of trouble agreeing on a name for axel too but we found one in the end haha! yer he still does that cry quite a lot now! aw its so great watching theyre little personalities come out, hes started smiling now its amazing but seans better at getting him to smile. oh his sleeping habits vary. he does really badly in the day barely sleeps at all and when he does its for like 10 mins then hes up again, last night he slept for 6 hours longest hes ever slept but he usually wakes up every 3 hours during the night but normally the first sleep he has of a night can be up to 5 hours which is so nice lol! im finding it great but when he has his miserable days and doesnt want to sleep at all then gets over tired and screams that is extremely difficult like the other day when he didnt sleep for 15 hours i had to call my mate round cause i was losing the plot and i had to get sean to come home early from work.

i still love the dummy just hate the fact that he spits it out then whinges so im constantly running over and putting it in his mouth, but they were a real life saver for me. na sean had the tues that i had him off then the wed was a public holiday then he was back at work the thurs and the fri was my first day alone at home with bubba it was hell! get tom to atleast make sure he is off work for the first day bubs is home because i was in tears and thought i was going to get postnatal depression but then again if u have an angel baby youll be ok, axel is just a really difficult baby due to his sleeping habits. yer he pretty much feeds every 3 hours but his sleep varies   its so hard when u have no help and are alone from 6am-8pm 5 days a week but then when sean gets home its straight on the comp then sleep i get nooooo help! its very very very hard work! lol.

ummm probably the hardest thing is the way he sleeps and when he screams and theres nothing you can do but hold them and not lose your mind haha! it is totally not what i expected, i thought babies slept all the time but mine certainly doesnt, i expected it to be hard but this is a new level of hard haha! but dont worry it gets easier as you learn theyre cues and attitudes its gotten easier but then you still have very rough days where the baby wont even let u pee! the day he didnt sleep for 15 hours i didnt even have a drink all day because he was soo clingy and screamed so bad when he was put down. and the love you feel for them is soo much more then i ever imagined i would die for this baby its an immense feeling <3 it!
aw hopefully the bubba will move in the right direction soon, that happend with my mate and she ended up having a c-section hopefully you wont have to have one though. i used to hate the feeling when he had hiccups lol but yer it gets to the point where when they move it hurts. axel still gets hiccups all the time. his reflux has gotten better but his colic is pretty bad   i bet your soo excited you havent got long left, have you got everything you need? are you ready? how long u got left of work? thanks he is adorable! speak soon xxxxxxxx

Quoting jade n my boys ♥:" yer when i hit where you are now is when i just wanted it to be over. it did go fast but at the time ... [snip!] ... left, have you got everything you need? are you ready? how long u got left of work? thanks he is adorable! speak soon xxxxxxxx"

Yeha is dragging by now haha! im 33 weeks and man oh man im ready for it to be over, and i love being pregnant i love the feeling of the movements, but my goodness im over the constant peeing and the back pain, and bubba has decided to move head down which is great but smurf its painful hahah!

aww im glad your milk has all settled down now that must be easier. Especially now your body knows how much milk it needs! is he still having the growth spurt? was that hard to deal with? It must be hard to see bubba upset and not really know whats going on and the only thing that helps is to keep them close. haha omg im glad he is putting on weight well. He is sooooo dam adorable that picture you have as your avi right now is so gorgeous! he is so beautiful! I cannot believe he is so old already it must have flown by for you!

Hows the stitch going? still there or has it finally decided to desolve? Yeha i have heard the afterbirth contractions can be pretty bad when breast feeding, my goodness there is so much to not look forward too after birth, dealing with stitches, contractions, sore boobs, bleeding, just wow haha! im sure its all worth it though and i cant wait!

Hows your belly? has it gone back down to size or not yet? did you end up putting on muchweight? i have put on a heap! already! and i still have 7 weeks left haha!

oh man i cant imagine how hard that would b! does he have many days where he is unsettled all day? did hving sean home and your friedn help a little!? Im so nervous about bringing bubs home. i have no idea what to expect. Its liek i know labor will hurt and i know i need to puch a baby out but after that i have no idea! its full on freaking me out lately!
Hows his days sleeping going? getting any better? i bet when he sleeps 5 hours of a night time you love it! must make you feel a little more human! lack of sleep must be difficult! Although i dont actually see you in real life you seem to have adjusted great and be doing really well! it makes me so hapyp for you!

yeah i imagine the first day at home alone would be seriously daunting. Yeah Tom will be having a week off from when i go home. he will still work while im in thehospital and then have a week off. Im looking forward to it. and he is too but im dreading the part when he has to go back to work. did it take you long to get used to everything?

I bet its amazing, having something there in front of you, that you created! like you made that! thats a part of you and its living and breathing! its amazing to me that we have the ability to gorw people inside us, to be able to feed them and lok after them. to me that is just totally amazing and it completly blows my mind. i cant imagine how i will feel when i ctually have a bubba here!
I think we have most things we need now we have the cot and change table plenty of clothes and nappies and blankets and the car seat and stuff. im pretty sure we are set. and i havent had my baby shower yet haha! and i have 3 and a half weeks left of work! i cannot wait im seriously drained. Its not even the working 10 hour shifts a day with no break that kills me its the fact it takes me 2 hours to get to work and 2 hours to get home, sitting in traffic, in a car where i cant get comfy. that is whats totally killing me! so im realllly looking forward to it being over haha!
Hows everythign been with you in the last week? has his colic settled down at all? sorry it took so long to reply have been soo busy at work its horrible nd we have no internet at home at the moment which doesnt help
I hoep all is well xxx

Quoting Mcpreggo butt:" Yeha is dragging by now haha! im 33 weeks and man oh man im ready for it to be over, and i love being ... [snip!] ... soo busy at work its horrible nd we have no internet at home at the moment which doesnt help I hoep all is well xxx "

haha i thought it might! it sucks but when its over youll realise how fast it actually went! haha i bet it is a boy then! axel dropped by 32 weeks thats why i hated it from then on, remember they sent me fr a ultrasound as they thought he would be premature as he was engaged at 32 weeks lol.


yer its good now its settled down   yer i think your body just gets used to how much milk baby needs so you dont feel engorged ever unless you use a bottle and miss a feed from breast sometimes they get engorged then. haha thanks ma mate took the pictures shes a photographer! im addicted to putting him in bg contests haha! hasnt won any yet though   it has blown by soooo fast!

the stitch is still there   it sucks! the bleeding stopped at exactly 6 weeks so that took a while too! hated wearing pads everyday it sucked! yer they are pretty bad after pregnancy too cause your uterus has to contract back to being tiny again. you might not need stitches your baby might be small enough to get through without being cut or tearing. hope for your sake you dont have to go through it.

haha i thought i had put on lots but i think i was just like you and it was all baby i had gone down to my pre baby weight by 3 weeks pp! but im getting fatter again now i look 20 weeks pregnant again haha! cause whe you first start bf you lose your appetite then after a couple of weeks it comes back with a vengence! hahai eat sooo much these days!

he is like that atleast once a week   he is an extremely difficult to get to sleep in the day i ust have to deal with his crankiness until he finally decides to stop fighting his sleep, soo exhausting! na none of them ended up helping i ended up having to go in a dark room with him swaddled and sucking his dummy and rocking him. hes currently being a pain! keeps whinging and is clearly tired but wont sleep hes ust laying there doing the half assed cry! grrrr soo frustrating i dont get it if your tired go to smurfing sleep! dont worry it is daunting before you have the bub i was smurffing myself about it the whole pregnancy but after the first 2 weeks it gets easier god knows how but it does lol! some people i know have really easy babies that sleep all the time mine doesnt though lol.
yer he sleeps a little in the days has had a few 1 hr sleeps the last few days but still just catnaps mostly during the day and is awake more then hes asleep. yer the 5 hours was good he went down to waking every hr for 2 nights then last night it was every2-3 hrs which sucks i hope he starts doing the 5 hrs again soon! but its hard adjusting in the first few days to the lack of sleep but again you get used to it. its just hard as you cant sleep the last few weeks of pregnancy then your awake for however long the labour is and have to go throuh the exhaustion of pushing a baby out and from then on you barely sleep so the first few days are extremely hard but it gets so much easier you should do pretty well if you got tom there helping you for a week.

na id say it took about 2 weeks max to get used to it all but i didnt have sean at home with us off work at all   sometimes i feel like a single parent he works 6am-8pm so dont get much help at all  

oh its soo amazing the feeling of having made this beautiful child thats a piece of you and your partner and the fact that i have made him grow by feeding him with my body while i was pregnant and now that im breastfeeding i mean its amazing they can live off just feeding from your boob! every little part of this little person came from u and last year they were microscopic and bArely existant its crazy and amazing! thats good that u got every thing haha i had everything by the time i had my baby shower too and no one knew what to get me! when is your baby showeR? i have sooo many clothes for ya already so the blue(boys stuff) i wont put in ill just put all unisex but theres some really cute outfits i hope u like them   oh i bet work is exhausting for ya then! not much longer till you finish make the most of resting while your off to because youll need it. how have u been? got anything planned for when you finish work? dont worry about it i know how busy life gets in the last few weeks of pregnancy just write back when ya can take care xxxx

I rmeebr when you thought he was going to be early because he was engaged!! that didnt ened up happeneing though hay, what gestation was he when he was born?

im glad your boobs have settled must be easier and less painful that way for sure. andyeah it makes sens they learn how much you need rather than over or under supplying. how long do you pla no breast feeding for!?
ghaha yeah i always vote for him when i see you post a topic or what ever! he is so dam cute <3

Hows the stitch going now? i hope its finally gone! are you still in discomfort or is it getting better now? I dont think il have a small baby so im kinda expecting some form or tearing or cutting. Baby is already emasuring two weeks ahead and Toms family seem to have giant babies. so im thinking i might have a big bubba in there!

aww i hope i can loose my baby eight that fast. i swear i just keep stacking on the kilos! i have stretch amrks all over my thighs and bum   makes me sad. and i have none on my belly which doesnt make any sense to me haha! I have heard that when you breast feed you have a massive appetite! i guess you have to to make sure your getting enough calories and energy to produce milk!

hows the sleeping going? still struggling through the day? I hope he has relaxed a bit for you that must be so hard! aww i really hope its all improved. I have never understood why babies fight their sleep, i just figure if your tired why not sleep, why keep yourself awake and make yourself grumpy. haha.
Yeah im smurf scared about bringing home a newborn its seriously scaring me so bad. I hope I get used to it as easy and as fast as you did. im so scared im going to be a bad mum, the closer i get the more scared i get.
How are his night sleeps going? how often does he wake up to feed?

Yeah thats like Tom he will be workign at least 12 hours a day 6 days a week. it scares me the thought of having to do it alone. how are you going with it? are you getting more used to being alone with him all day?

i still cant decide on if i think its a boy or a girl. i keep having girl dreams but a part of me still thinks boy. And everyone who sees my tummy thinks im carrying like a boy. So its confusing haha i just wish i knew some days haha!
ONLY A WEEK LEFT OF WORK!!! ahh im so excited! seriously im like a freaking zombie at the moment its killing me haha i just want it to be over! are you planning on going back to work any time soon?
I have been ok, im really tired and so much going on in life at the moment, look sliek we have to move before i give birth now -__- and we arehaving som eissues wtith my car laon and im working and training 2 peple for my job im just stressed to the max, cant wait for work to be over so i can set up the nursery and spend some time actually resting! but apart from that im all good. how are you? how is everythign going? how is life as a mummy treating you?
xxxxx

hey chick! hows it going? sorry its been soooo long! iv gotten slack! i manage to get on here 24/7 but keep forgetting to wb   sowwy! also as soon as im on axel cries hes a cling on lol.

na that didnt end up happening he was engaged at 32 weeks and the doc thought he would be early because he was sooo low but he didnt arrive till 39 weeks, they said when he came out though that they thought he was overdone because his placenta had started deteriorating and then he had really dry skin for the first few weeks which is another sign baby was overdue. but the last couple of ultrasounds he measured 2 weeks ahead so i reckon he was really about 41 weeks when he arrived lol.

haha yer its soo much better but now i keep thinking i dont have enough milk even sean keeps saying how much theyve shrunk (thanks sean!) lol. he has gotten really fussy which is apparently another sign of teething (ill go into that later) and he can sometimes empty both in 1 sitting lol i think hes just a quick greedy drinker. well........ i planned on bf for 6 months max but now it looks like ill be doing it until they stop needing milk because he wont take a darn bottle! everyone i know thats bf atm is in the same boat as me! my mate dani her bub is 6 months and my step sister and me all our babies refuse bottles nw, danis baby was on bottle from birth because he was tiny and needed top ups but she didnt give one to him for a few weeks and now he wont take it and shes back at work   jenny my step sis never gave hers a bottle till the other day he just plain wont take it. and axel had his first bottle at almost 2 weeks old and has had quite a few and the other day i decided to get some formula to see if he will sleep better if he has 1 night bottle of formula well what a bloody disaster that turned out to be! screamed screamed kicked and screamed some more then vomited then had some boob n settled   i have given him formula about 2-3 times before and he was fine now he isnt i tried a diff brand and he took a few sips when i was out but wont take it again now, and the other day tried to give him expressed bm with a little formula and once again a screaming match! i tried the formula every night for 2 weeks but he would scream then prjectile vomit so id give in trying. urggh difficult child. i dont get it because your not even supposed to introduce bottles till 6 weeks bcause of nipple confusion, what about bottle confusion cus axels defs got that hes all about the boob this boy! so ill give you some good adice if your ever going to want to use a bottle when you start do it atleast once a week so they dont forget how to suck from it lol. nightmare! basically as soon as your bub has a good latch let them go for around 1-2 weeks on the boob after establishing the latch then introduce a bottle. axel was good he had an amazing latch from the day he was born. oh and i have tried 5 different bottles tommee tippee closer to nature is the best then breastflow theyre only on ebay though.

yer the stitch has dissolved now so much better i feel all healed lol. my mates baby though was nearly 9lb and she had no tear or cut. axel was coming out at a slightly wrong angle though so i had a bit more head coming out than what you normally have to squeeze out lol. :O axel was measuring 2 weeks ahead haha! oh no my mates whove had big babies its come from the dads! and my step sis's baby was 7lb 13 oz and so was the dad and axel was 7lbs 15oz and so was sean so yes your very likely to have a chunky monkey in there plus in the nicest possible way you do have a mahoooosive bump! i think the last pic i saw looked like when i was about to give birth lol.

lol iv always had stretch marks all over my thighs but i have them all over my boobs   theyre ruined noooooooooooooooo! na i always hated my boobs anyway so i dont care oh n i had one where my belly button piercing is yer just 1 lol. yer im always eating these days lol it also makes you extremely thirsty after every feed and my lips are so dry because i drink barely any water and it sucks all the fluids outta ya lol.

na hes gotten a little better in the day with his sleeping. but still not excellent its soo much easier now because i usually know why hes crying and i can tell when hes starting to get overtired i have a sort of routine now well for morning and night just get up change and cloth him then put him on his playmat for a while till he starts crying which is usually his time to go sleep so put him in his swing he will scream as i go to put him down then when his dummy is in his mouth n hes got his blanket he starts his eh eh eh eh tired noise he does that when hes falling asleep because hes trying to stay awake and get me to pick him up lol, then i will get on with cleaning or whatever then he usually wakes up n ill go out, in the evening i bath him then give him his last feed around 7-8-9ish then put him into bed turn on his winnie the pooh projector and he will go sleep by himself then wakes up through the night too. ohh dont worry it is extremely hard at first but every day it gets easier and easier and you get used to it. just remember that if its all getting a bit too much just set the baby down crying or not and go compose yourself get some fresh air or whatever helps. its so scary not knowing what to expect but you get used to it. like it used to take me ages putting a nappy on but now i can do it in 1 sec with him kicking his legs about. sean cant change his smurffy nappies he gags! stupid men! ah he had a good 8 hour sleep the other night it was amazing but last night he had 1 hour sleep it sucked! he still feeds every 3 hrs on the dot in the day in the night it varys can be an 8 hr gap or 2 hr gap. are you going to demand feed or feed at set times?

yer sean worked 12 hrs a day this week for 6 days. i dont mind any more im used to it because when hes here he is usually too tired to help any ways so im pretty much like a single mum but its nice when he gets home and i can give axel to him so i can have a shower or whatever but yer im used to the being alone with him all the time i mean it helps that my mate has a baby because we go lunch or shopping most days lol.

oh i dont know any more i still sort of think boy but i dunno lol! i bet your soo freaking excited can it be anytime now? are you going to have the epi? when you go in there just tell them you might have the epi so they know just incase because then they will prob tell you before it gets too late to have it. but i seriously would get it, i felt no pain whatsoever i loved my labour up until the pushing part lol! im sooooooooo getting the epi with every baby now lol! aww i bet the last few weeks of ork suck! you must be finished now then? what have you been doing since you have been off work? oh no whats happening with your car loan? why do you have to move? that would suck! i was 6 months preggo when we moved and it was just way too much stress for my liking !
me and seans getting engaged he made me pick out an engagement ring the other day, he just needs to think of a day to propose lol!
so we think axel is teething even the pharmacist said so it started at 9 weeks and he has been so grumbly and baby panadol is the only thing that stops him crying i put my fingers in his mouth and his gums are bumpy and hes been dribbling sooo much eating his hands had hot cheeks and sticking his tongue out also fussy on the boob urrgrghhhhh i get used to one thing and another bad thing pop up with this baby! who said boys were easier?! if boys are easier then girls i never want a girl haha! yer hes a high needs baby i think youll be much luckier and have a chilled out sleepy baby lol. also sorry its taken so long but i am def defs defs sending that stuff this wed, the only problem is i boxed it up and have written your work address on it so i have to send it to your work is there any way you can get to your work to pick it up? i think it should defs be there by the following monday? the little grey outfit in there is the only one thats 00000 which is for a small newborn so use that when the bub is really young! axel wore it twice i think and it was his first every outfit he wore   cherish it lol! na just kidding! i love it though soo cute! its the one thats pants and a top with a cat or something on it. also the breastpump is in there its never been used but the box was too big so just put the pump and manuel in there. i hope you like it! so so so so so sorry its taken so long but i keep spending all my money lol but now its boxed and in my car ready so i dont forget lol! my brain is like mush since having axel lol! so yer im good reall good! loving my little man so much he has a amazingly big personality hes so advanced too he started smiling at only 3-4 weeks and he talks in baby babble all the time lol he blows bubbles and kicks his feet and you talk to him and he babbles back then he had hiccups the other day (has them atleast 3 times a day) ad i was hiccuping back to him and he was fake hiccuping haha it was soo fricking cute! such a little character love this age! i seriously cannot wait to be pregnant again! i wanna have a spring baby so i think im going to start trying end of next year or something. dya think you will have more? how far along are you now? how you been? let me know asap(before wed) if i need to change the address on the box if you cant get to your work   hope your ok and not in too much pain for these last few weeks! cant wait to see that beautiful bubba! let me know when your in labour! xxxxxxxxxxx

I havent really had a whole lot of sleep lately he doesnt like to sleep during the day he would rather lay in bed and stare around the room than sleep haha but im trying to change that. he sleeps in 3 hour blocks during the night which is good, although last night he slept for 5 hours which was awesome so today i feel sooooo good!! but im not relying on that happening every night thats for sure. Im breast feeding which is going awesome he is so good at it, as soon as he was born he latched and he hasnet had an issue with it since. i feel so blessed.

aww bless him he sounds like axel, so alert as newborns and hates sleeping in the day as too much is going on they dont want to miss out and want to take everything they see in lol, so cute! wow thats great! axel didnt do his first 5 hr sleep for ages! is he in your room? im thinking of moving axel into his own room to see if it helps him sleep better because hes such a light sleeper he wakes at the smallest noise and our bed is metal and sooooo squeeky. yep we are blessed axel was the same latched perfectly from birth and has never had a problem not when i gave him a bottle at 2 weeks or dummy at 6 days although he wont take a bottle now   i have tried for the last 2 months hes just obsessed with the boob he cant kick the habit lol. hes on rice cereal now for silent reflux im not sure if its helping but he sure does love it lol.

oh i love being a mummy! but i find it sooooooooooooooo hard! axel is very high needs and extremely difficult to handle especially as sean works 11-12hrs and sometimes 6 days a week and when he is home i get no help. i miss being pregnant soooo much! i get jelous when i see pregnant people now lol. everytime i go shops i get stopped because everyone wants to admire my baby lol so cute, he started giggling mon but done it to a woman in the pharmacy the lil ladies man lol.
oh and i got a new car! drives soooo nicely and its so much better as its a 4 door so i can get the baby in and out easily! its a blue ford falcon 98 and was only $2000.
how are you getting on? are you loving being a mummy? is ethan an easy baby? what else you been up to?
cant wait to see more pics of that amazingly gorgeous lil boy of yours! hope your all well speak soon xxxxxxx

hey pretty lady, im sooo sorry i havent been on, we dont actually have the internet at our house at the moment so its really hard for me to get on! but we are moving in 3 weeks so i will be able to get the internet and get on more often which will be good cos I miss chatting too you!!

hows everything goging? i see it was your birthday this week! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! the photos you put up looked like you had an awesome night!! im glad you did you deserve it   what else have you been up to? hows your new car going?

Hows your littl man going? did he get over his waking up every 2 hours thing?: did you end up moving him into his own room? did that work? he is so dam cute i love all the pictures you upload to facebook his little face has changed so much he is just adorable i love it!! i bet he has the most awesome little personality right now!! he looks a lot like you i have decided!! hows was Seans first father day?

Ethan is doing really well he is doing a 6-7 hour sleep of a night time now which is awesome and making me feel much more human which i love. although we have both been sick twice in the last month and having a sick babay is the least fun thing i have ever dealt with in my life. i just wish i could make him feel better and the fact i cant seriously kills me!! But he is such a good little boy he is smiling and giggling now and i could just sit and watch him all day! i cannot believe how fast they grow up he is 8 weeks old today! it goes so fast makes me tear up! he is already almost in 00!!

when do you think you guys will start trying for another? I want kids close in age but not for at least a year i think we will start trying again in Jan 2014. but it all depends on what happens over the course of the next year or so. How are things going with Sean working heaps   i know what you mean Tom works 6 full days a week too and it kills me, feels like im always alone with Ethan, it gets super lonely  

I hope all is well with you guys and hopefully once i mkove ill be able to get on here more often i miss chatting to you so much its crazy! cant wait to hear from you xxx

i miss you too   so sorry i havent replied, i was going to yesterday and i just started typing then axel started screaming so i didnt end up getting round to it.
thanks   it was so beautiful we went for a meal at the revolving resturant in the city its like at the top of one of the buisness buildings so it was like 33rd floor or something such a lovely meal then we went to kings park which is where you get a view of the whole city and as it was dark the city was all lit up, then he got down on one knee and asked lol.

how are you? what have you been up to? hows ethan? how did your move go? why did you move?
yer i have been good, really busy because iv been getting ready for my trip to england.
the new car is going great thanks, i love it and its much easier to get axel in and out of.

axels great thanks hes on medication for silent reflux now because they originally told me to spoon feed him rice cereal when he was around 3-4 months and it didnt really help so by 5 months i took him in and said he still screams constantly and they gave me losec which has worked wonders, hes a completely different baby, sooo much happier! he did stop the waking every 2 hours after a few weeks but since has been waking every 3 hrs during the night even though we moved him to his own room, the last 2 night though he did a 5 hour sleep which was good. i think he is just used to waking every 3 hours and getting fed even though he isnt hungry because he has a little then falls back to sleep, and because he wakes so often when it gets to around 3-4am i just bring him into our room and put him in his bassinet. haha thanks everyone says he looks like me lol, he has a huge personality now hes such a character, i love this age.
has ethan reached any milestones recently?
axel since today can sit by himself but only if his hands are on the floor lol, hes almost crawling but uses rolling to get around, hes soo smart im trying to teach him to crawl by putting something he wants infront of him out of arms reach and he rolls back and fourth until he reaches it.

axels on solids now he loves them, i make it homemade and his favorites are pumpkin and swede lol, before i have even got another spoonful ready hes waiting with his mouth open. when are you going to start ethan on solids?
are you still breastfeeding? axel finally took formula he now has a 2 bottles a day and i still breastfeed, although he has started biting and pulling my nipple in his mouth its pretty painful haha!
i love ethans little onesies, the ones that say what month he is and the boobie baby one   seans first fathers day was good thanks, how about toms?

aww you poor thing and poor ethan what was wrong with him both times he was sick? axel had his first cold last week, it lasted a week and he had a cough i hated seeing him sick but he carried on like nothing was wrong. wow thats awesome cant believe he was doing 6-7hrs at night! hows his sleeping now? they do grow fast its sad, axels still in 000 lol what size is ethan in now?

well the plan was to start trying next jan so 2014 too snap haha! because i want a spring baby next time (hopefully a spring girl) but i dont know whats going to happen because today i think i have just realised i might have a prolapsed uterus which sucks, it all started sat me and sean did the deed and it felt funny down there and i have had really bad lower backache and sort of like period pain for weeks, well i looked in the mirror and it doesnt look right, somethings blocking it and iv tried to find my cervix twice but cant and it feels like its my cervix thats right near the entrance it just sucks i really hope i dont need a hysterectomy.
sean still works heaps but im used to it now and because axel now takes a bottle sean gives him a bottle at bedtime. how are you getting on with tom working a lot?
im going to england next week im flying with axel and a friend and her baby, so axel can meet my family but im freaking out about how hes going to be on the long flight.
so how you getting on? is ethan a good baby? i hope so!
axel was extremely hard until i got him on the losec.
any hoo better go but im soooooooooo sorry i took so long to reply i hope u can forgive me   i miss speaking to you all the time and i think about you and little ethan heaps, hopefully we will be coming melbourne soon and we can meet! i love all the pics you put up, ethan is sooo damn cute and hes growing so quick and you can tell your dad is such a proud pop, im soo happy for you that he loves ethan soo much! its crazy because in the beginning you was worried about telling him wasnt you?
hope all is well with you all, look forward to hearing from you xxxxxxxxx

Quoting ♥ axel sean n me:" i miss you too   so sorry i havent replied, i was going to yesterday and i just started typing then ... [snip!] ... you was worried about telling him wasnt you? hope all is well with you all, look forward to hearing from you xxxxxxxxx"

ahhh its so awesome to hear from you!! Seriously I was so excited when I saw you had replied its a little sad how happy I got. Its a little sad how happy I was!

aww that is so romantic! your ring is soo beautiful! I like ran to Thomas and told him that you got engaged haha! Im still waiting. Have you got a date or anything? are you going to get married here or in England? awww little Axel will be in the wedding thats so cute!!

We had t move because the people who owned our last house put it up for sale so we were given 4 weeks to move :-/ not much fun with a 2 month old. But we did it and the house we are in now is so much bigger and so much nicer and its actually cheaper so im glad we did it in the end. Ethan is going ok, he has to go to a Paediatric Gastrointeroligist because of his reflux and i think they will put us on losec too cos he is really unwell and he has gone from this happy baby who is always simling to this baby who just cries all the time. Its so hard I just wish I could help him and I can see that he is in pain and it seems that nothing helps him. we tried infant gaviscon but it hasnt worked at all. I just want my happy little man back.
But other than that he is really good, he sleeps well at night and he is in his cot now cos he is too big for his dam bassinet! he is already in double O! he is so big. we have a midwife appointment in 2 weeks so ill know exactly how big he is then! I swear he is huge! I think he will be 15 pounds before we see her!

Aww wow on solids already! he is so clever! im so glad he likes them! do you love feeding him, i cannot wait to start feeding him it loks like so much fun! but im also scared about him weening off breast feeding.I love it so much but i am also scared of the teeth thing! you poor thing! i bet hat wasnt a fun suprise for you!! Has he got any teeth yet or just teething still? cant believe its been 6 months since you had him! time has flown! i got pregnant a year ago now and i cant beliee it. so much has happened and changed in a year!!

Omg your so lucky are you looking forward to your holiday? thats a long flight with a little dude but im sure he will do great! how long are you going for? i bet you are so excited!! are you looking forward to seeing your family? they must be all so excited to meet your little man! im so hoping you come to melbourne I would love to meet you finally and get to say hello to your little man! I feel like I have such a strong connection to him already and I havent even been blessed enough to meet him yet!

yeah im getting used to the constant work. and then of course his work puts him through a course so now every monday and wednesday he leaves at 5:30 am and wont get home till 11pm   so that sucks but i enjoy my time with my little man so Ill just enjoy it while it lasts.

What are you doing about work? are you planning on going back soon or not sure yet? I got a job working Saturdays for 5 hours. its going to kill me Im going to miss him so much, but the extra money will be really helpful I cant wait to be able to breathe a bit. One wage sucks horribly 

aww wow imagine if we were TTC together again. that would be so fantastic! I would love that! omg thats scary are you going to go to the doctor? I hope thats not what it is! you poor thing! Ill be thinking of you!

What else is new with you? are you looking forward to having more babies or no? Some days i cannot wait for more babies and others the thought is so scary i cant even bare to think about it! seriously haha! But i miss being pregnant so bad and I feel like my labor didnt go how i wanted it so I want to go through it again and hopefully have the labor i wanted. andI hope i get a girl. If i have a little girl i think ill stop at 2, but if i have another boy i want to go back and try for a girl. I really want a little girl!!

Ok well I have a baby who needs some food, im so glad to hear from you and to ehar you are all going well. I hope you have the most amazing holiday if i dont speak to you before you go!
