Jan/Feb 2011 Mommies (Nov & Dec 2010 early babes)

Hi ladies

Marie, when r u going to pop?? We are waiting dear! Just a matter of days (or hours!)

Ok, so paed went well, what a difference between her and the other one.

Alessandro weighs 3.9, Athena 4kg and Alexia 3.95, so Athena has over taken Alexia and Alessandro has caught up to his sisters nicely. It doesn't look like they are colic, just cramping loads as the colon still developing, but will be taking them to chiro as she did recomend we go, especially as they were all squashed in my tummy. She also said to give the buscopan instead of the bennets and continue telament drops. The outing wasn't too bad, we sort of sorted their feeds around it, and MIL came with, lol, its funny to see peoples faces, boy oh boy do they stare! (paeds room is in hospital).

MommyN, i do the bicycle when I remember and have some time, hope it helps Nathan, I do know the chiros show you a bunch of things/exercises to do.

Maryke, enjoy your "away" time at the hairdresser. Dh also started doing half and half at least we get a few hours sleep.

sterrejie, glad inge is better!

Chat soon, gtg

o my thumbs these two are wild today

I think Aiden has big time cramps just gave him some bennits fingers x

Lucky ouma is watching them this afternoon so i can go have a haircut and try solve my orange hair problem

Ster maybe i should try your tea

I am sure these two should have dropped a night feed by now or am I being silly?


My boys are only still on 125ml every 3 hrs Llewellyn only drinks about 80-90ml of the 125ml and Aiden drinks 110ml of the 125ml?

Hubby and myself found a happy medium on weekends i do the feeds till 3:30 then he takes over then i wake at about 8 so we both get rest

I am starting Endermology on the 16 Feb so weightloss here I come!!!!!!

Glad everyone is doing fine

Gotta go tend to a niggly Aiden toodles

Hi Ladies

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!

Hope you all had a stunning weekend?

All well on this side.

Vix - Inge is so much better. She actually sleeps after a bottle Yesterday I slept for almost 1 1/2 hours and she for 2 hours. She now drinks about 120-140ml of milk per feeding and in record time - no longer 70mls in 20 minutes.

Maryke - Inge is drinking Camomille and Fennal tea twice a day (one day camomille and the next day fennal) and she is loving it (she drinks about 40-60ml at 08:00 and then again at 16:00) as per the instructions from the Sister.

Tomorrow we are going for her 6 weeks injections. Not looking forward to it but hey, we have to do it.

MommyN - I wanted to start exercise last week Monday but then I decided to start today but due to the flu I have to wait until I am better. I am feeling much better but would rather wait until I am 100%

Chris - you are so positive and such a strong person!!!!!

To everybody else - hope all is well

Morning all

Chris it sound like my hubby. What i miss is his 1st question.

Vix you'll get my vote.

MommyN i see you going to do those exercises lets me know if it works for you as well. I started with Vanya and already she passes more wind.

Hope youall have a wonderful week ahead

Wow, Chris, you are sounding so positive, it must be awesome to be getting your family into a routine and am sure you and DH are enjoying every minute! xxx

Carmen, Mishka is beautiful!

Thats all I wanted to say, going to get some zzz's now... nathan is turning out to be so difficult! We see the paed on thursday!

Oh, Chris, I have started (today) doing "bicycle" excercises with Nathan at every posible moment. They say it really helps. I know its difficult with you having trips, but I'll let you know if it really helps... let us know how the new Dr goes!

Hi ladies

Carmen, Michka is so cute, congrats again!

Tomorrow we going to new paed, my babies are cramping still, not all the time, they do sleep but they wake up because of it. The Novalac has helped Sandro somewhat, I find he is better with passing stools, but still cramping. Then wed we taking them for their injections. Did I mention that I weighed them on Thursday and they were all averaging 3.7!!

Maryke, Vix, how much are your boys eating? And how long do they sleep for?

At night my babies tend to sleep longer, which is great, and I want to test the waters to see how long they can sleep for, problem is... we cant do it if its just 2 as I need to keep the 2-1 routine, but want to see if they are skipping any night feeds yet. Today the girls were waking 2.5 hours to feed, they normally do wake up 3 hourly and sometimes 4 hourly, so Im sure they could, but we are so scared to leave them incase we get ourselves in to the $#it, any advice?

As for the expressing, Iv been doing it 2 daily, but Iv got a new domestic, she came saturday and feel loads better with her, so maybe I will be able to fit more in, it just sucks cos even if I do it only 2 or 3 times a day, its difficult to keep it in routine because babies are so unpredictable, they'll sleep like logs and then just wake up screaching cos of cramps, but I will see how it goes, sad I cant do it more, but dont want to break my back doing so, Im already a bit sad that I haven't managed to bf, I tried last week and the baby cried so much cos they were hungry that I just gave up cos she just wante to eat, I do klnow that if Im persistent with it then it can be done, but not so sure with 3 as it wont be BF every feed but every 3 feed, so do I really try or just leave it, which is what I have done, hey, maybe I'll have to have another just to BF, lol (yeah right!!!).

from each of my angels

I'm sure Asp said she won't have internet often when on ML

Maryke- wow 3-4 times a night? I put the boys down about 10pm so I can also get as much sleep in, they usually wake about 3am then again about 6:30-7.

Ster- how is Inge's reflux doing now she's on the nestargel? And her sleeping?

Chris- how are the trio treating you? And the expressing? Are you still finding time?

Carmen- I'm sure you're going home today or tomorrow, bet you can't wait to get youe princedss home!
