April and May Mums

I thought that I would start a new thread as there doesn't seem to be many of us yet, and we may have to make it a thread for May mums too Not that I have a problem with that.

I thought I would post a picture of my little boy that I took this morning. He didnt think he should have to go to sleep. 4 days old and already starting to be cheeky.



I would love to hear from any of the other new April mums.

Yay Skyflame, an April Mum's thread. I love the idea of it being April/May since there don't seem to be too many of us. Hopefully I can join you soon :)

Look at that cheeky boy

Congrats Skyflame! If you like I can edit the thread title to include the May mums as well (unless they want their own thread!)

oh he is a cutie!!! congrats!

I vote to edit the thread to become both April and May. Like Renee said we all seem to talk to each other now so it makes sense :)

Yay, looked at the due date list and my turn is just one more baby away

Skyflame, how are you and Caleb doing?

He is so cute. I'm an April mum as well. My April baby will be 3 next week and it has gone so fast.

He's so cute Skyflame! Just read your birth story and that is amazing Well done!

How are you and Caleb doing Skyflame? Read your birth story last night. Eeeeek!

We are doing well, he is sleeping again at the moment.
I can't believe it has been a whole week already, it has gone so fast. He is sleeping for approximatly 3 hours at a time now apart from Monday night which he seemed to want to eat every hour. Midwife is coming today and will weigh him so we will see how much my little boy has put on, as he has put on weight I am sure.

We had a big day yesterday and went out visiting and to coffee group and he was really good. He has no problem with being passed around for cuddles. Granted he was sleeping at the time but was still really good.

Our biggest issue seems to be getting him to pass wind, he is really bad at it and holds on tight then gets all upset. He is also really modest though and hates to have his nappy changed and hates having his clothes off, he screams his little head off until you have him dressed again.

Yea birth was a bit unexpected and not at all what we had planned, which just goes to show that anything can happen and to try not to get to attached to a certain idea of how the birth will go.

I wonder how Faraway's induction went and what she had, hopefully she will be back to let us know before too long.

Seems like you are enjoying your wee man Skyflame, the sleep deprivation is hard aye? But it does get better - or maybe you just get used to it .

Elle was the same with her wind, and she would get really upset, we tried boiled water - which worked pretty much, but at the moment we are trialling Infacol - which seems to be working too. I also hear gripe water is good for some babies.
