Congratulations wizzi and Sammy! Yay more babies! :)

Hi all. Checking in here with small grumpette who was born last week a few days overdue. She is fab and we are getting on well. Have to keep pinching myself that she's real! Doesn't help that we were convinced she was a boyGrin

How's everyone doing?
How are the twins getting on in particular Sammy? Hope they're growing well.

Lots of love to you all here and your small ones x

HP07 · 01/03/2017 09:19

Congratulations Grumplestiltskin. That's great. Hooe you guys are all settling into motherhood now. Tomorrow two of the babies are meeting for the first time ever! Very exciting! :)

stealthbanana · 02/03/2017 07:18

Congratulations wizzi and grump! Hope you're enjoying lots of newborn snuggles.

All ok here - has been a bit of a nightmare couple of weeks with cold (DS) and a stomach flu (me) and I am currently stressing that my milk has gone away as DS is looking very skinny and i am paranoid that he is not putting on weight. Need to go and have him weighed on Monday. Sigh.

Zenzie · 18/03/2017 07:12

Hello all! I'm here with MiniZen who is three weeks old on Monday. He's a delight and we all love him. I think we'll keep him. I hope you're all going well out there.

blue2014 · 19/03/2017 13:36

Hi zen Smile yeah I think I'll keep Bluelet too 😊 he's the light of my life. Congrats!

Congratulations zenzie and hello baby zen! Hope everyone is doing well. Baby grump is almost a month old now and after a difficult start feeding is now thriving and as cute as a button!
It definitely took me a while to bond with her as I just don't think I could believe she was really here, but wouldn't be without her now.

HP07 · 20/03/2017 07:30

Congratulations Zenzie :)
Baby HP is rapidly approaching 6 months. We start weaning the weekend after next!
Last week I developed mastitis, it is horrendous. It's improving slowly but still very painful.
How is everyone getting on?

blue2014 · 20/03/2017 09:41

Wow HP I don't know why but 6 months sounds so grown up! Bluelet is nearly 4 months now.

Grumpel I think the bonding thing is really normal and more so after infertility. I definitely had a few weeks of "oh my god, what on earth have we done?!" But I've just loved him more week on week and now may be a tad obsessed

Congratulations everyone! Sorry this thread dropped off my list. Hope everyone is really well. Baby stealth is 14 weeks old now and just divine. By no means smooth sailing the whole way but he is just so relaxed and chilled it makes it all worthwhile even when he's having a meltdown

BabytoBoris · 28/03/2017 13:02

14 weeks! I'm glad stealthini is chilled. Baby boris us the oposit of chilled! He has a dramatic little personality...!
Anyone know who is due next?

stealthbanana · 29/03/2017 10:36

Haha! What's he up to? I love the idea of a little drama queen (King)

I think lucie must be due soon??

HP07 · 29/03/2017 17:31

We're starting weaning this weekend! Shock

BabytoBoris · 30/03/2017 09:05

Good luck for weaning HP. Baby boris has just started scratching everything...... He didn't do that before Tuesday, now everything is scratched....
Stealth he is a real charmer when we go out, laughs and smiles at strangers but also screams lots too there is absolutely no calm middle ground. I don't go to paid for groups or classes as I never know if he will scream so much I have to leave. He now has fluffy white blond hair like Boris J.

Grumpelstiltskin · 30/03/2017 18:01

Love hearing despatches from you guys with the older babies! Glad to hear all is going swimmingly with stealthini stealth.
Mini Boris sounds like a right livewire, love that he's rocking a proper Boris do! Plus crazy that mini HP is six whole months old already. 💙

Sammy are you out there? If you're reading but with no time or inclination to post (and with twins I bet you don't!) then I hope all is going well with you and your lovely girls.

All fine here, little grumpette is a treasure who so far is pretty good at the whole sleep thing. Obviously I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop once she's a bit older but for now am enjoying all the newborn cuddles and snuffles. Though she's five weeks old so not really a newborn anymore I guess!

I think blondes is due any day now, plus looking forward to hearing from more of the PAI crew as they have their babies.

BabytoBoris · 31/03/2017 08:36

Ah enjoy the snuggles with grumpette - sounds lovely. I do miss the newborn stage. I'm having to get baby boris to nap in his cot not on me now :( but whilst the snuggles are dwindling I do get to see his crazy personality appear. It's all good :)

stealthbanana · 01/04/2017 02:26

Aw newborn snuggles are great. Baby stealth is passed out on me now (am abroad - it's lunchtime here!). He's so sweet I don't have the heart to move him.

boris lol at Boris j hair. Sounds like he's full of personality - I would not worry about him screaming at baby groups, from what I've seen half the class leaves early so it's more common than what you think

blue2014 · 01/04/2017 20:47

Ah lovely to hear from everyone.

Bluelet has the fever reaction to his 16 week jabs. Poor sad boy Sad

Tomorrow is D-day, we're weaning baby HP! I can't believe it. Tonight is my last night of him being exclusively breast fed! How is time going so fast?

Feel better soon Bluelet, lots of calpol and nurofen for you. Grumplestiltskin, 5 weeks old is a distant memory to me! Make the most of that sleepy cuddley stage.

blue2014 · 02/04/2017 12:04

It is going so fast isn't it. Good luck on the weaning Smile

Bluelet is better today

Glad to hear bluelet is better today, the 16 week jabs were pretty grim for us too.

How's weaning going HP?
