mommies to be DECEMBER 2010

I remember you Sjj you were a newbie:) your twins are quite tiny, Aaqil was a small baby (2.8kgs) at birth and he was 5.3kgs at 11 weeks, with your little ones at that weight at 15 weeks. Maybe twins and singletons shouldn't be compared though:) I will persevere in trying to get him to take the bottle.

Two girls and two boys kitty, my fave combo:) as I turned 28 two months before Aaqil was born I don't have the option of the age gaps you have if I want 3 or 4 kids:(

OMG, can't believe I missed reading about your boys. I must have been totally skimming through the pages to try catch up. I see your boys are more or less the same size as Heath and Alison - and here everyone has been telling me that the twins are on the small side. When were Aiden and Llewellyn born again?

Oi, just saw that I said my LO's were 6.1 and 6.5kg's. They are actuually 5.1 and 5.5 kg's.

Hey ladies.
I've been away for too long. Hope you all remember me!

My twins are doing really well. They are both so amazing. I sometimes look at them and even at 15 weeks can't believe that I'm a mummy! Alison is so precious, has her own little personality and loves being near Heath. Heath - is such a typical boy - puts his hand on Alisons face - as if to say "go away". They are so precious.

They are 15 weeks now and getting cuter by the minute. Alison weighs 6.5 kg's and Heath weighs 6.1kg's - apprently they are on the smallish side. But the paed is very happy with them. I'm breastfeeding and bottlefeeding them (expressed breastmilk) - although must admit, its more bottle feeding than breastfeeding at this stage. Its tiring, but I have an abundance of milk, so expressing works really well for me.

We just moved into our new house - CRAZY and CHAOTIC. Wouldn't suggest any new mum's moving house with a 15 week baby. Never mind 2

I've gone absolutely crazy on their nurseries. Decided to make them two seperate rooms - although, let me tell you, have I gotten serious flack for that... But I feel its our choice (myself and hubby) and its working really well for the family as a whole. Alison's is decorated in those "Me to You" bears (those grey bears with blue patches that Cardies sell. Except they don't have blue patches, they have pink patches. And Heath's room is decorated with all pictures of Puppies - I just bought a whole lot of those Rachael Hale coffee table books and got the pictures framed. It looks so awesome. As soon as I have a gap, I'll try take pictures for you guys.

Suhaila, I struggled in the beginning with Heath to get him to accept a bottle and went through so many brands of bottles, Nuk, Tommee Tippee, Avent, Pigeon and eventually found that he loves the Dr Browns bottles - - very strange since the Avent Teat is incredibly similiar to them. But anyway, he took to those. So I have Heath on Dr Browns and Alison on Avent Bottles.

I've tried to read back for a bit to see how everyone is doing.. Hope you are all loving being mum's and enjoying every second with them. They grow so quickly. Will try log on more regularly now. Enjoy your weekends ladies.

Chat soon..

Has anyone heard from Maryke - I wonder how she is doing with the boys!

Hi there his neck mass is very smaller as before they measured it in the beginning and it was 2,5 cm weide, 2,5 cm long and now it is about 1 cm weide and 1cm long hopefully in the next month it is gone for good thanks to all for your support with Claytin. Im thinking of you and the boys and i know it will be soon over good luck for the operation. Will pray for your guys.

Hi ladies

Suhaila sorry don't have any advice I was lucky with my lg she took the teat and the boob with the boys I haven't even bothered trying to breastfeed glad he is doing well, hope you and hubby get to spend some alone time soon...I use to be a SAHM mom but after 10 months of staying home I started feeling alone and left out of the world so went back to work

Google glad you had a nice break and glad little one is doing great

Lina glad you little one is also 100% better now, my boys also still only drinks between 100ml and 150 ml sometimes they finish it sometimes they don't not too stressed about it sometimes they go 3hrs to 5 hrs between feeds it differs but I think when the solids starts I easier pattern will start flowing

Kittyjar, how's Claytins mass is it all gone now? My boys are going for the operation on the 12th March I am glad it's coming to a point now

Gml please go read my story on the GHD competition about to creche or not to creche what is the answer I mention my first hand experience with a nanny

Glad Lesego is doing fine Aiden has silent reflux and the pead said I can give 1ml adult gaviscon it wont stop the vomiting but will help for the heartburn hope this help (don't really like giving medicine advice but that's what the pead told me)


AFM boys are nearly 14 weeks Aiden is the little fat stocky one 5.7kg's and Llewellyn is the little skinny malingy 5 kg's doesn't sound so huge but you can see the differnce between the two

Fancyface how old was your bub when you started him on solids?
