Or...how do they know the nights that DH is away and I am trying my best to cope alone??? DS has slept quite happily (or at least quietly!) for a week or so from 11pm feed until 7am, but the night DH is away, he wakes at 4am and just gurgles and chuckles for half an hour! DD used to do exactly the same - HOW do they know?
DS started baby rice yesterday and seems quite happy about the whole affair.
DH is taking DD to Gulliver's World (or is it Kingdom?) tomorrow so I get quality time with DS. I'm especially looking forward to the LTN....2 hours of peace and quiet

hi there,
i'm mum to a 14wk old baby boy who was born by elective c section at 38 weeks. I know its a strange question but how are your babies getting on with their head control?? ds is improving slowly but at times his head is still really quite floppy and "looks like it going to fall off is this "normal"? in other areas he's ok just always seem to do stuff around two weeks later than others his age.
hope you can help

Hi Hermione,
Just quickly wanted to agree with Twiglett before I shuffle off to bed! I got photos out of DD who had ace head control from early on, DS (born 11th May) is quite a bit floppier but he doesn't go on his front as much - simply because he doesn't like it and it seems to make him be sick! Swings and roundabouts - he is very happy to be sat up or bounced up and down on his little bandy legs. Keep posting on the thread - its exciting to see who is doing what when!

Twiglett the album won't work

Judd my dd2 likes to play up when dh isn't around. Tonight she screamed and screamed for ages. I was trying to cook dinner and it needed stirred and would have burnt otherwise. She screamed so much she was in danger of choking. I sent dh a text message to check he was on his way home. He arrives home shortly afterwards by which point dd2 had just calmed down as he was walking up the path. In walks daddy and dd2 is all big smiles and giggles!
Dh says "I thought she was screaming her head off" She was I say through gritted teeth while trying to salvage dinner.

Honestly Men! I'm glad dd1 was with me as he would never have believed me if she hadn't agreed that her baby sister was making enough noise to wake the dead.

Hi Hermione, welcome to Mumsnet. My dd2 is 14 weeks old tomorrow. She can hold her head up if she's up on someones shoulder and can sit raised up a bit in the pram. But she can't figure out how to life her head up if she's lying on her tummy and so far doesn't try to lift her head up when she's lying on her mat on her back. It will come in time though I'm sure.
What date was your ds born?

awww she's so sweet. I must open one of these photobox albums.

Judd · 26/08/2004 23:34

Twiglett, she looks beautiful! Really must ask DH how to put a photo on here. Was her personalised bodysuit made especially for her?

libb · 27/08/2004 08:28

Twiglett - your doughball looks good enough to eat! she is an angel and I can't believe how much she has grown already! (and I promised myself that I would never say that sort of stuff as I sound like some mad Aunt Bettie . . .)

Welcome Hermoine32, nice to meet you! DS has his floppy moments but he loves tummy time so gets lots of practice. Just loves to nosy around, the roll over was definitly (sp?) a one hit wonder though. At least for the moment I hope.

Today is pants in many ways already! My period has come back (yoikes!), DS has been sick all over me, I've just realised that I agreed to stay in to hand a parcel over for next door and so I can't go out and get him weighed (just curious really, he looks the same size to me but other people say he has grown!), I still have a major part of the living room to paint and the colour doesn't look too far from the grubby muck that was there before

On the plus side, DS is currently kicking merry hell out of the parcel for me as it crackles and is shiny! he cracks me up! and DP is back at work so DS gets nap time again - hurrah!

GeorginaA · 27/08/2004 08:30

What a CUTE little doughball, twiglett

libb · 27/08/2004 08:37

Photobox isn't bad is it? Although I am still tempted to get his piccies on paper just in case. My old computer has about 4 years worth of photos on it that I will not see again

DS is such a wriggle bottom these days, he manages to end up sideways on his bouncer if I don't look out - we are now having to strap him in!

GeorginaA · 27/08/2004 08:44

Why won't you see them again libb? Has the hard drive gone? Data recovery companies are very good at getting data back these days...

Which reminds me, I must back up my photo directory onto CD and send copies to dmil and dm so if there's a fire we still have all our photos...

lol - get that portable hard drive working!

The hard drive holding all our pics died 2 days after extobeDH and I split (this could be a good thing as we won't argue abour rights etc. but bad because we had some wonderful times and we have nothing to show that) - he says they are lost and can't be retrieved (sp?), although he admitted that he was nervous that whoever could retrieve it all would also realise that some of his software was second hand. So so complicated . . . and not as dodgy as it sounds I hasten to add!

DS is unimpressed by my redecorating although I am mighty chuffed. I hate glossing! it is the worst bit. Next door's parcel arrived early and I felt compelled (sp again!) to apologise to the delivery man for the mess - he said he had seen worse - where exactly?!

what an exciting life I lead . . . and clearly my spelling skills died when I was preggars! and I had forgotten about period cramp . . . pants.

Aw she's gorgeous. Nothing wrong with the milk she's been getting

GeorginaA · 27/08/2004 12:45

libb - you should take it to a data recovery centre, they won't give a damn about second hand software on there, it's fairly common and hardly worth pursuing for home users anyway. Seriously, you can get at least some of those pictures back if you still have the hard drive.

libb · 27/08/2004 12:48

thanks Georgina! had better ask extobeDh if he even still has the machine though . . . . just as well we are such good friends!

DS is napping - and he went off on his own! clearly DP should be at work every day!

libb · 27/08/2004 12:56

spoke too soon . . . he just opened one beady eye!

Judd · 27/08/2004 12:57

Hello all! Just logging on....because I can! DD safely in Matlock Bath with DH and DS is hopefully going to embrace the LTN in its entirity .
Egypt, you too have a lovely baby! Am I right in thinking that all the first time May mums had girls?

Judd · 27/08/2004 12:58

Oh boo - I think Libb has just shot my "all first time May mums had girls" theory to pieces
