Just thought I'd better start a new thread for those of you who would like to see updates before the old one is totally full.

All still good here! I've been a bit low on iron but the tablets REALLY don't agree with me. So I've started just taking one in the morning with orange juice, and having a spoonful of Floridix in the afternoon and making an effort to eat spinach and red meat.
I've been feeling baby OMG moving around a lot more now he's getting bigger and stronger, which is lovely although slightly alarming at times!

We've probably got a maximum of 7 weeks to go now as I understand the drs are not keen for older mums to go much over 39 weeks. Eeeek.
Will keep you all posted.

Fantastic update! Sounds like you're going to be chasing him round the place very very soon. Very best wishes to you all.

Hi Mumsnetters. Baby OMG turns one this week. I can barely believe it! I thought some of you might like an update.

We are doing well and looking forward to having a little family party. Baby OMG is looking less like a baby and more like a little boy. He is full of beans, into everything and is just on the cusp of walking.
He still loves his food. He also loves to smile and wave at people out and about. People always comment on his smile and his lovely big blue eyes.
He is also a nightmare when he’s not had enough sleep, is very noisy and the poor cat is sick of being grabbed, so it’s not all good!

He starts nursery in September and I start a new
job, which I’m looking forward to. We’ve had a bit of a tough time as I was made redundant in March which was stressful, but I feel like its all worked out for the best as the new job is a better one. I think baby OMG will love nursery as he’s been enjoying his settling in sessions.

I know everyone says it goes so quickly, but it really does!

Aww thanks @sizeofahippo
Maybe one day I’ll tell baby that he’s famous on Mumsnet.

He’s doing well by the way. We’ve started weaning and are doing a bit of a mix of baby led and puréed or mashed food. He’s a rather enthusiastic eater and likes to grab his spoon and feed himself. It’s so messy!

It's so lovely to read your update. Enjoy his enthusiasm with food and the messy times, it's such a cute phase of their development.

tattygrl · 20/02/2023 15:46

I've just read this whole thread (and the original one), all your posts OP from start to finish, and oh my goodness what a beautiful story you've shared with us so generously. It was such a privilege getting to see you go from being confused at a pregnancy test to the photo of your gorgeous baby boy! I'm so glad to read everything is still going well 😊

I have followed your threads since the first surprise and they are so heart warming and lovely.
I almost feel like the MN community are a family watching your little one grow up. It makes me smile that he is famous here 🥰
In my head you will still be updating all his milestones and we will all still be here cheering when he graduates university or gets married 😂😂

newname2022 · 04/02/2023 10:43

To echo what many others have said...this is the nicest, most heartwarming thread I've seen on here for a long time ❤️I'm so happy for you!

Best of luck! @GoT1904
I’m just watching tv with one eye on baby OMG on the baby monitor.
Six months has gone so fast!
I still sometimes forget for a few seconds that we have a baby, it’s so weird.

Aw love to see your updates. My little man just went 6 months too, it's crazy how fast the time is going. He's been rolling for weeks and does not stop moving ever. But is full of smiles. Christmas was so lovely having him to celebrate with. He loved the tree, get got him a jumperoo which he loves.

kateandme · 18/01/2023 16:51
