Update on how you are all doing Please!!!

Is it sore getting it in. 

No not if you relax. It's like getting a smear test done. Mine got lost so it was sore getting it out. The doctor had to spend 20 minutes rooting round for it. Hope that doesn't happen again!!! I'll be keeping an eye on the strings this time. Oh I forgot that about feeding stopping it or making it irregular anyway. Hope it sorts it's self out soon. We've been using condoms and I'm terrified everytime that one will burst. Can't wait to get the coil in and for DH to get the all clear. Kinda takes the spontaneity out of it IYKWIM.

 Hi everyone! Wow wow , doesn't everyone have cute babies!

Quick update on us: Willow is now sleeping midnight to 5.30 so that's a bit of an improvement! She's smiling loads especially at DS which is very cute. She is HUGE! At 7 weeks she weighed 11 lbs 4 oz! I make massive babies-just like mummy ( I was one chunkey monkey) -but I only made it to 5ft 3..lol

I tried to load a pic but it wont work-I will try a link...

Much love to all, your babies really are beautiful x

 

hi girls, I just wanted to stop by and say hellow to all of you, i'm so busy and on my free time i just sleep, all the kids nap at the same time, Samirah is a spoiled little girl all she does is nurse all day and night, so i co-sleep, and i can sleep all night, and a long two hrs nap during the day. i'm so happy to have her, and the boys love her so much.

Avonlea is doing well, she's in the 50% for weight and height, but she's a happy healthy little girl...BF didn't work out for the 3rd time for me, but she is happy on Formula, she just slept 8 hours last night from 12:30am to 8:30am So I was thrilled....I'm so happy with her, the boys love her...we are going to FL next weekend for the boys to see their dad for the summer...I will get to see my family while i'm down there. Very excited...Avonlea smiles alot and loves her brothers to make her smile...:) She's so much easier going than I imagined she would be. She's the calmest baby. I take a million pictures of her every day :P Life is going pretty good for now. Hope you all are well. Here's a little pic of Avy and her brother Chris playing yesterday morning before I went to work. :)

Ok so I tried to upload the photos like you said WIQ but the monkeys keep coming up so I'm giving up and I'll just post them separate. Just checking to see how you are all doing now the babies are 3 months old? Mia is still sleeping 8 hours at night so I'm well rested. She is laughing and smiling all the time. She still hasn't been called for her 3 month check up yet so I have no idea what weight she is but she is so heavy now that you can't hold her for long before your arm starts to ache!!! Here she is with her 3 big brothers.

And this is her on her own

These are school photos. A lady came in DS#3 playschool to do a picture and the teacher told me to bring in the others too and she might take tham all together. Had to take DS#1 out of school early for them but it was so worth it. You'll have to post the pictures for us to look at when you get them.

Mia usually naps for 1 hour in the morning about 10.30am and then has 3 hours in the afternoon. Can be anytime from 1pm to 3pm but she sleeps great. If she goes down around 1pm then she'll have another 1/2 hour in the evening. She'll wake around 7pm and then drink 8-9oz and go back down at 9.30pm for the night. Last night she didn't wake at all til 7.30am. I don't have any suggestions for you. I just swaddle Mia so that is what I would have said to you but you've already tried that so I don't know. When I put her on her blanket preparing to swaddle her she gets so excited. Her legs go mad kicking and she starts giggling but her arms totally relax so I can wrap them at her side. It's like she knows whats coming.

Good luck with the jabs. Mia will have her second set in 3 weeks. Must be different timing down here. It'll break your heart to hear her sob but it'll be worth it.

Adorable. Think Caoimhe looks alot like your smallest boy??? Maybe I'm wrong. Can't believe how time has flown. Mia is nearly 4 months old already. She was weighted at her health clinic today. She is 13lb 1oz and 63cm. Nearly twice her 7lb 9oz birth weight and 15cm bigger than when she was born. My sister informed me that her daughter Éabha was 63cm when she was born!!! OMG. I can't even hold Mia in one arm anymore so that means she never could. I love when they are small and fit in one arm. Gives you a free arm to do everything else.

Anybody else any holiday plans?

Not going anywhere this year. We're doing up our sitting room so all our money going there. Too much hassle with sterilizer and everything else so we'll wait til next year. If you're down my way give me a message and we could meet up if you liked. No pressure. Totally understand if you want to keep things seperate from real life. Maybe Saoirse would be down at the same time!!!

We have DS#1 and DS#2 booked into a camp that starts on Monday but that will be it. As you know from last year they are quite expensive on this side of the border so having 2 going this year we had to cut it back to one camp. It's a soccer one so hope they like it. Do your lads play Gaelic? Mine do too. DS#2 just started this year. They keep putting him in goal to give others a chance as he's too good and no one can get the ball from him. Star player for the future???
