For £25 each for 1 week but they get free tyrone kit, Bag and water bottle so makes it worth it and gets them out of my hair for a while. 

Thats great value. It's €45 for the first child and €25 for the second to do the soccer one here. they get a bag and bottle too but no kit. Gaelic camp is €60 for the 1st child and €50 for the second here so big difference. I can get both into the soccer one for the price of one in gaelic.

How is Saoirse doing?

She's in good form. She had her scan to check how thing are going this morning and everything looks great. Baby is measuring at over 3 lbs which is good for 28 weeks and it's still a boy. Don't think her hubby will budge on the 4th baby but I hope he will after this LO arrives and he sees all is well. Think maybe the cord problem could be stopping him agreeing now. He could be worried but hoping once things settle down he'll change his mind for her.

Oh ladies how I have missed y'all so! Everyone is sooo darn precious! I will post pics of Levi soon i promise! Well We are faced with a very difficult uphill battle with Levi! He was just diagnosed with sagittal synosostis! Long story short it is where the soft spot closes too soon... He has to have surgery on his little tiny head to correct it! I am scared to death! Any prayers would be greatly appreciated! I will write in detail everything that has happened so far but right now I am just exhausted! I have been crying all day so it is time to rest my weary eyes! I will chat soon I promise! Again I have missed y'all soooo much and can't wait to catch up!!

Omg! Seeing all those photos are making me more broody!!! Such gorgeous babies!!!!!

WIC... How donu pronounce ur princess's name? Xx

baboudancer I hope ur little Levi is ok... Bless him xxxx

Welcome back Bayou. Poor little Levi. I will send all the prayers I can say for you and him. I hope you are ok. Take care of yourself. You need to keep your strength up for him. God love you. It's alot to deal with. Sending hugs along with the prayers.

Thanks everyone! Sorry I had to drop such bad news and run so I will give a bit more detail now...

As many of yall know I started going into labor with Levi at 34 weeks... held off until 39..Well Levi was born perfectly healthy except he had a ridge going down the middle of his head length wise.... the drs said it was because he was down for so long that his bones overlapped and as he grows it will position itself correctly.... When we went for his two month shots the ridge was still there but slightly less noticeable.... We went back yesterday for his month checkup and shots and she (his pediatrician) noticed the ridge was still there.... There was no ridge in the front of his head but it was still VERY noticeable in the back.... She sent us for xrays to determine if the soft spot had fused closed.... The xrays showed that the bones had in fact fused together and the only option to correct it is surgery.... If we do not perform the surgery he head will continue to elongate and get flatter and could potentially cause brain and developmental problems from the brain not having adequate room to grow....We have been referred to a pediatric specialists in New Orleans who will evaluate him, perform the necessary tests, and direct us to 2 other surgeons. We will be dealing with a craniofacial surgeon and neurosurgeon who specializes in this type of condition.... The surgery (not scheduled yet) will be about 5 hours long and require a minimum of 1 week in the hospital... depending on the type of surgery he has to have done he may have to wear a protective helmet for one year!!! [:'(]....... His condition only occurs in 1 in 2000 newborns!

Anyway so that is where we are now! I am completely and utterly devastated to think that my perfect little boy will have to suffer through a major surgery at such a young age.... I am asking that everyone please please send their prayers! I am just at my wits end, bought a pack of cigarrettes for the first time in 5  years because I just didn't know how else to deal with all this.... I am the rock for my husband... he does not do well with this sort of thing at all.... so I always have to be the strong one.... sometimes I just can't!! [:'(]

Here is a recent pic of Levi....

Such a cutie. Can't believe how big he has gotten. Imagine they are 4 months old already. Sounds like it's going to be really tough on you for a few months. I'm like you and would have to be the strong one as DH is useless in a situation. Even had to go to the hospital on my own a few years ago as I found a lump in my breast and couldn't tell anyone. He'd start panicking and then I'd have him to worry about on top of my own things so I just didn't tell him. To this day he still doesn't know. Everything was fine but can you imagine if I had told him and had him worry over nothing. He is on a need to know basis with me. May sound cruel as he is my best friend but it's better for me this way. Keep us updated on Levi and how things are going with him. All my prayers and love is being sent as we speak.

How is Little Mia doing LMX3&1P.  Love the new User name too. Are you enjoying your summer holidays?

I'm so ready for them to go back already!!! Mia is doing great. Still waking once at night between 5 and 6.30am but she drinks a few oz and goes straight back to sleep til 9am so it's not that bad. She is such a happy baby and rarely cries. Still can't believe it some days that we actually have our girls at long last. I bought her a swimming suit last night as I booked a weekend away to cork for us. It is so cute and can't wait to try it on her!!! Mia is also rolling all over the place. If I put her on her mat it takes about 5 seconds and she's off it and lying on the floor. It's funny how you forget all the small things. She starting to really laugh too so I'm always tickling her just to hear it. She was 13lb and 1oz at her 15 week check up and 63cm long.

I just wondered had anyone heard from Charlottelou at all.  I was thinking about her recently.

Haven't heard anything from her. I was thinking about her a few weeks ago and looked up her user name to see if there was any activity but she hadn't been on since the miscarriage. I'd love to hear she was doing ok. She could even have had another baby by now.

I started up a facebook page where everyone is now. No activity at all on IG lately as they are all on my page!!! I was fed up of everyone having to split up once they got their BFP and loosing touch so it's great. If you want to join us feel free. I know you said before you don't have a facebook account but if you wanted to set up one with you IG user name that's ok too. We all use our normal names but there are 1 or 2 that have set up a private one with their IG user names. This is the link in case you want to join. Just send a request and I'll accept you. The page can't be seen by anyone in real life, just the members.

 

Hey hun. You ok?

 

She's great. Getting so big now. Can't believe they are nearly 6 months. Glad the kids are back to school. Can finally get into a routine. I found Charlotte Lou on facebook. She's still ttc. Gave up for a while after her miscarriage but is trying again since January. Hope she gets her BFP soon.

 

I told Charlotte Lou the other day you were asking for her. She was asking for you too. Saoirse is doing great. Her little man is tiny. She called him Adam. He's nearly 6lbs now so still really small. I got the coil in too. Mainly to stop AF as it has been really heavy since Mia was born. DH got on grand. Has to send a sample back tomorrow to see how it went.
