congrats!!! she is sooooo beautiful

Amber J - Wednesday, 19 Dec
What a night I had last night. She was awake so much last night and every time I put her in her cot she wouldn't settle. She wasn't hungry, I'd changed her and she'd burped. I didn't know what to do with her. No, I haven't got your card yet. Ella looks like a punk at the mo coz she's had a hair wash! I've had my middle daughter off school today, she's still not right and now she's got a cough. At least school's finished now so I don't have to think about that for a while. Had my midwife out today and she discharged me. I have the health visitor coming on the 3rd Jan to weigh her. My midwife said Ella's weight gain is excellent! She's now 7lbs 9oz, I couldn't believe it!!! At least I know she's feeding well lol! Has Kaitlyn been weighed again since birth? I'm glad you're happier with her feeding. Ella's rubbish at sucking! I never had a problem feeding my other 2, but she just doesn't seem to latch on very well. How are things with you? xx

ox Leanne ox - Wednesday, 19 Dec

your baby girl is beautiful xoxoxox

Amber J - Monday, 17 Dec
It will be lovely for you with your little family! Ella's hardly sick either, I don't think breastfed babies are sick as much as bottle fed babies. I just thought it would be just typical if I put something cute on her, that she'd puke on it lol! Ella has plenty of wind both ends too! Me and my girls burst out laughing the other day. I had just fed Ella and changed her and put her in her cot and she was fast asleep. I turned round to go out of the room and she suddenly filled her nappy! It was so loud it made me jump lol! I had to get her up and change her again! We just couldn't stop giggling about it all day! I've just put Ella down to sleep so I'd better go and do something for tea! What are you doing for xmas? We are going to Martin's parents in the morning, then to my mum's late afternoon til late. Martin's mum and my mum both have to see us on the same day, it's a lot of running around to do and Martin gets peed off coz he has to drive back to ours to let the dogs out! Xmas is always hectic but I love it! xx

Amber J - Monday, 17 Dec
Aaa, the tutu sounds well cute! Is she gonna wear it for xmas? I've got Ella a little red xmas outfit and some little reindeer socks! I bet she'll be sick down it as soon as I put it on her lol! I was telling the girls that I've already had my xmas present and she's the best xmas present ever! I'm looking forward to xmas this year, I can't wait to show my little girl off to people that haven't seen her yet! xx

Emmz - Monday, 17 Dec
Hiya hun im good yeah i think they might be braxton hicks!cant believe in a few days ill be 31 wks hehe!howz katliyn?luv that girl loadz x x x x o o o o o x x x

Amber J - Monday, 17 Dec
Hello! Last time Ella was weighed, she had gone down to 6lb 12oz! The midwife said it was normal for them to lose weight at first. I wouldn't worry about Kaitlyn's feeding, as long as she has plenty of wet nappies, she should be fine. Ella seems to feed for about 15-20 mins on one breast, then I change her bum, then she'll have some of the other one for about 5 mins and then falls asleep! Sometimes if she's tired, she'll only have a 5 min feed. I'm glad Kaitlyn's heel prick test went ok. My girls are off school today. Their temps have gone down and they've both had a little bit of cereal but they're still not quite right. They break up from school on Wednesday for xmas. Yes our tree is up, Martin only put it up yesterday! Oh well. I haven't wrapped the prezzies yet though. Sorry you haven't been well. Poor little Kaitlyn with her sneezes. I read that babies aren't meant to catch anything when they're tiny because they have had all the antibodies from the colostrum. That can't be true then can it?!! Ella's asleep so I'm gonna check on the girls and get a cup of tea! Speak soon, love Amber. x

Alexandra - Sunday, 16 Dec
hey hun i breastfed for the first 2 weeks then went to the bottle she settled when i did that. how are you all? i bet your so happy, xx

Amber J - Sunday, 16 Dec
Hiya, hope you are ok. Sorry to hear you are so sore, bet it well stings when you wee! My midwife's coming tomorrow too it will be her 3rd visit. I'm sure I saw a midwife more often when I had my other 2. Martin's mum is disgusted that she's only been out twice to see me. The health visitor wants to see me on Tuesday. I was in tears yesterday. Both my older 2 woke up looking really ill with high temps and my middle 1 had a headache. I was panicking so much that Ella was gonna get something nasty off them. I lived in my bedroom with Ella yesterday and told the girls they couldn't go in there! How nasty am I?! Lol! I think Martin got annoyed with me crying yesterday! Hope Kaitlyn's heel prick test goes well tomorrow, I'm sure she'll be fine. How did it go giving Kaitlyn a botttle? Could she suck it ok? It must have been different for her! My visitors have slowed down a bit now which is nice, you do just want your own space don't you? I'm so NOT ready for xmas! All I can think about is Ella! Must put our xmas tree up, I'm terrible ha ha! Take care, love Amber and Ella. X x

yummy-mummy2be - Saturday, 15 Dec
OMG congrats shes gorgeous!!
xx

Amber J - Friday, 14 Dec
Aaa hun, I'm sorry you are feeling all tearful, I've been like it too so don't worry! Babies do sleep a lot in the first few days. Ella hasn't slept for more than 6 hours at a time without getting hungry. I don't know how long you are allowed to leave them before waking them up for a feed. Maybe ask your midwife if it's ok for her to sleep that long without feeding. I think I'd wake Ella up after 6 hours if she hadn't had a feed. Babies also do breathe faster than adults, but ask your midwife if something worries you, it's what they're there for! I know EXACTLY how you feel about other people holding them, I hate it, I think she's MY baby and also I worry about germs and if they've got clean hands and everything! I end up feeling bad coz I feel like it if it's my family members too! I just want to snatch her back off them! I can feel a lump in my throat like I'm gonna cry, it's horrible. I'm sure it's just our motherly instincts to protect them and it's stronger when they're tiny. I still sleep half way down my bed so my face is right next to hers in her cot! I have her cot right next to my bed. I think she's stopped breathing sometimes and panic but she's absolutely fine! I won't lay her on her tummy coz I think she'll suffocate herself and I won't lay her on her back incase she is sick and chokes, I worry about every little thing. I lay her on her side with a rolled up blanket along her back so she can't roll backwards! I gave Ella a bath this morning and her cord stump came off, yippee! It still looks yukky where it was attached, think it just needs to dry out now. I hope your cold goes soon. Tom shouldn't get angry with you, everything you are feeling is natural and normal! It's hard for men to understand that bond we feel for our babies! xxx

Amber J - Friday, 14 Dec
Good luck with her little heel prick test today! I was just laughing at what you said about pushing with no contraction ha ha! I said to Sarah please can I push when I don't have a contraction coz when a contraction comes I can't concentrate on anything coz it hurts too much! She said I couldn't lol!!! Ooo I don't want to re-live it, just want to forget that pain now!! I had a better night last night, she woke up once in the night and slept the rest. Hope you had a good night too. Ella's cord looks horrible. The dried up top layer has come off but there's more underneath. I know you're not supposed to get them wet, but next time she wakes up, I'm gonna have to give it a little wash with cotton wool and a little sea salt in warm water. I nipped out to the co-op last night, it's the first time I've been out with her, ha ha! xx

Amber J - Thursday, 13 Dec
Don't worry too much about the heel prick test. I worried about it and she didn't even cry! One of her drips of blood wasn't big enough so my midwife did an extra one! I was in labour for 7 hours and 40 mins! I pushed for half an hour. It was quicker than my last daughter which was a 20 hour long labour! My 1st daughter was a c-section so I never went into labour with her. xx

Amber J - Thursday, 13 Dec
You sound very happy and proud, and so you should be! It must have been lovely for Tom's mum to deliver her for you! I had a lady called Sarah help me through labour and then Caroline helped her when I was pushing her out! If Ella has slept for a few hours and is hungry, she'll feed for about 20 mins to half an hour. Other times if she's sleepy she'll feed for 5 mins, then fall asleep! That's what hurts my nipples coz when she's sleepy, she doesn't suck properly and it feels like she's nibbling! I have a blister on one of my nipples today and it kills when she feeds, I was nearly in tears earlier! How is Kaitlyn's cord stump doing? I was worried about Ella's coz it looked a bit gunky on one side. My midwife gave me some powder for it and said it was still well stuck on. I want it to come off. My midwife also said to tuck her nappy down and let the air get to it, but then the nappy catches on it and I think it will get sore! I'll feel happier when that's gone! Why do babies wait til you've changed their nappy and done all their snaps up before they poo lol! xx

turnerjessica - Thursday, 13 Dec
Aww.. Ur little girl is so cute!! I cannot wait until mine is born.. Hope everything is going well! Congrats!

Alexandra - Thursday, 13 Dec

Aaaa, I've just been looking at your new pics! She's such a cutie! Her little dress is well sweet! Kaitlyn has hair like my 1st daughter when she was born. Ella has lots of dark hair, it makes me laugh! Ella sleeps loads too and usualy has a feed in the middle of the night and sleeps til morning, however, not last night! She was up every 2 hours needing a bum change and food! I'm so tired today! My right tit has funny lumps on and is a bit red so I hope I haven't got mastitis or something. The left one feels softer and more normal! My nipples are hurting and when she first starts to feed, it really hurts. Ouch, your tears sound really painful. It still stings a bit when I wee but it's loads better than it was. How is Tom coping with being a daddy? Does he change her bum? Martin doesn't, he hasn't changed one! Have you taken Kaitlyn out much? I don't dare take Ella out coz it's so cold! My neighbour thinks I'm hibernating coz I haven't been out anywhere ha ha! My girls are doing their xmas church service on Monday and I really want to go and watch them sing so I'll try and get it together to go. Martin is up at a and e at the mo. His workmate collapsed when they were doing work at the St Johns Ambulance place in Ipswich! He was up on the flat roof when he collapsed and they had to get the fire service to air lift him down. Sounded like a heart attack so I'm waiting for Martin to let me know, scary!

PRETTIEST MOM

Once you have been hit, you have to hit 5 pretty Moms.

If you get hit again, You will know you are REALLY pretty!

So hit 15 pretty moms on your friends list to let them know they are
pretty!

Before I was a Mom

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.

I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on.

Pooped on.

Chewed on.

Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom

I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.

Or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom

I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her
down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop
the hurt.

I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -

I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.

I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important
and happy.

Before I was a Mom -

I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to
make sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the
wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Send this to someone who you think is a special Mom.''
