Well it did go quiet on here!
I've been meaning to have a read for ages, I just keep getting distracted and losing my place!
Glad everyone is still muddling through.

For those not on FB, it is a secret group. Nothing you post in it appears to any of your friends and people in the group can't see the rest of your fb unless you become friends. In my opinion it's much easier to manage too! And there is so much baby spam it's fab!
And we're working on a pinned document with all the FB and MN names.

I love that these threads have kept us all chatting for a year! That's crazy to think!

Yesterday it was a year to the day I started feeling something wonderful. That wonderful creature is lying on my lap asleep now and he's turning 16 weeks tomorrow.

Hi, could you also add me to fb please? I've been lurking since I found out I was pregnant a year ago today and this group has been an absolute lifesaver over that time, would hate to lose track of everyone! X

@Hisashiburi @MrsT1983 has anyone added you to the Fb group yet? If not add me on Fb (Vicki Louise - wedding picture as profile picture & baby boy as cover picture) and I'll do it! Maybe just message me reminding me when you add me!

If anyone is still here can i ask about your babies sleep? Isabellenis 15 weeks tomorrow and sleeps a lot! Yesterday:

Slept through the night 10 hours waking at 6.30
Then slept 7.45-8.30
Got back from the school run and went back to sleep 9.30-11.30
Had a feed then slept 12-1
We went out and she slept in the pram from 2-3
We went out again after the school run and she had another nap at 6-6.30 then came home and had a feed and fell asleep at 8 until 6.30 this morning.

So far today she has slept from 7.45-8.30 and has just gone back down at 10...

I miss her!! Is she sleeping too much? Should i be worried?!

walker the sleep pattern is.... there is no sleep pattern :D

baby savage would sleep almost all day in the sling, she could be awake almost all day if not in the sling. When a growth spurt happens she can sleep most of the day, other days she can be awake most of the day.

Change is the only constant :)

@Walkerbean16 I'm with@savagehk there is no pattern Confused

Sometimes she'll sleep all day and others she won't, never all night though Hmm

And I second what @dreamofhungarianlanterns said about Facebook, I was reluctant but it's still a group of the same nice people that were on here, now they just have real names and faces

I was wondering if anyone had heard from @mightymouse76 I know she was having a hard time for a a while and she was so supportive of others I'd like to know she was ok Smile

Could I also join the Facebook group? I used to post here, but not that often. In the grips of the four month sleep regression and would be nice to have some company! I think I belonged to an old FB group but it was switched to a new one at some point and I didn’t keep up! Little boy was born middle of May!

Hello!

I would also like to join the FB group. I've been lurking on this thread, although I'll admit that I can't be bothered to go back and read the other 16 threads. :P

My son was born on May 30th and I think we've maybe also been going through the four month sleep regression for the past couple of weeks even though he's not quite four months old yet. We slept from 10:30-5:30 last night though, which is almost a human schedule!

I can also sympathize with those in the thread who have gone through feeding/weight gain issues. My son had tongue tie and his weight improved after we had it snipped, but we're still needing to top him up with formula. And even though it's better than it had been, it still feels like we're spending way more time breastfeeding than everybody else. For the most part he's not a terrible sleeper at night, but during the day it still feels like we're feeding every hour or so. I basically can't go anywhere alone without completely messing up my already meagre milk supply. Fun stuff... :P

Hi all I was hoping to get some support from some fellow May 2017 Mummies. I can see you all mentioning a Facebook group, is that more popular than the thread? I'd like to join if possible please! Feel like I'm slightly losing the plot with my baby and although he is my second I just cannot remember anything from first time around!

@LillyBugg and @CanadianGirl18 I think you need to pm @savagehk or @Tickyboovicki and they will add you.

I really miss everyone! I think about you all a lot and wonder how each of you are doing.
This group really helped me through a very wobbly time and I'll be forever grateful for the kind words and support. I felt so sad when it moved but couldn't express it!
I'm not on fb so missed that party...
Come back and say hi!!! @1004Rise @MrsJW15 @teainbed @savagehk @crazyzooo @Adventuregame @Badgerbird @dreamofhungarianlanterns
I'll stop tagging now as this group is a big one, but I'm waving to you all Wink
