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.

How lovely to get an update. Hope you have a lovely family Christmas.

BeaLola · 22/11/2022 19:00

I am sure he is a little genius - how lovely he sounds - for sone reason when you describe him I imagine him like the Thread Mascot Charles on the Style & Beauty Royal thread

Merry Merry Christmas to the OMG family

Aw what a lovely update. My DS is 18 weeks and loves nose kisses too. The last week he has started 'talking' just goo-goo's at us for hours it's hilarious and adorable!! Can't wait to see his face with the Christmas lights.

Hi @YouDoIDo I’m just doing a night feed and saw your post Smile
Hopefully you’ll be pleased to hear that baby OMG is thriving. He’s quite a chunky boy, with big leg rolls.
He’s coming up to 16 weeks now. He’s definitely been going through a developmental stage as he’s been a bit grumpy and clingy, but hopefully we seem to be coming out the other side of that.
DH and I are l loving watching his personality develop. He loves to be kissed on his nose, and to be “flown” around face down, supported on one of our arms like a chubby plane.

Well this didn't make me tear up at all.

Omgwhatthehell · 22/11/2022 20:40

Nice to hear from you @Irishfarmer Glad your little one is doing well. I can’t wait for our baby to see the Christmas lights either 😊

@BeaLola I just had a look at Charles of Luxembourg and baby OMG does look a little like he did when he was smaller! He has the same ultra chubbiness.

Hope you all had a lovely xmas op

WedonttalkaboutMaureen · 17/01/2023 19:19

I was also on the first thread under a different name and am delighted to have read this one today! He will be heading for 6 months old soon wow!

Omgwhatthehell · 17/01/2023 19:26

Hi all! Yes he’s nearly 6 months old. It’s gone so fast.
We had a lovely Christmas at home, although that feels like ages ago now.

Baby OMG is still big and chubby for his age. He started rolling over and trying to crawl.
He’s also a very alert, interactive baby, which is fun, but very tiring Grin
He is very smily and laughs a lot. There’s nothing like seeing his face break out into a big grin when he wakes up and sees me.

Thanks for your heartwarming update OMG. Clearly your DS is bringing you all the joy you hoped for. Bless you and your family

Theopossumwasmeantforme · 17/01/2023 22:09

I love your updated! Glad it's all going well.

*updates

(I should go to bed 😂)

MourningTea · 18/01/2023 11:11

Ah this is where the fun starts! Baby days are cute but when they are becoming their own little person it's something special. 😍

My 2.5 year old is next to me and though I sometimes miss the early days, it's so sweet to hear him talking and to actually understand what he wants now instead of just the crying.

I took him out in the snow for the first time today. 😊

kateandme · 18/01/2023 16:51

im sat imagining this thread on the 10 year update or something and thinking just how it started and where he is now and will be then! so glad for you op.and your lovely update. what a ride its been. and what a happy ending.

Irishfarmer · 18/01/2023 16:52

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.

LemonBounce · 24/01/2023 19:06

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.

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!

sizeofahippo · 15/02/2023 08:18

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 😂😂

Omgwhatthehell · 16/02/2023 19:06

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!

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 😊

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.
