Let's make a mess!

I went to a baby food class at Naturally Loved a store a few blocks from where we live, the girl said if the baby wasn't really interested in the food let them explore it play with it and they will taste it too, oh dear look at the Bailey mess, it was in her hair! Ear! Neck crease! Yuk

Look at that face!

Kiss, smooch, oooh I could eat her up!

Happy little B

Oh she is a happy little B, fed, changed and not bored or overtired she is happy, happy, happy!
Those first few weeks were hard she didn't like to go to sleep and it seemed like she cried for three straight hours at night! Luckily my parents stayed with us for 6 weeks in the end!
And mum and I would just look at each other, countless times I would say 'what's wrong with her?' there were regular tears, it's hard when your just getting to know this little thing and she's upset and you don't know how to make her better.
Some nights it was almost as if she was watching the clock when it hit 12 she'd fall asleep, once she was literally mid cry the clock turned 12 o'clock and she fell asleep, gone!
I think she just didn't know how to fall asleep, eventually instead of rocking, walking, trying more feed, changing her, I put her in her crib swaddled her and put her dummy in the gripe water then in her mouth - repeated it and she fell asleep.
Thankfully those days are gone and fingers crossed she sleeps well (I'll say it quietly!!!) she has slept well 10 hrs from 6 weeks old!!! Amazing yes! Will it last, I hope and pray!!!
Definitely makes for a happy baby, and even more so a happy mummy!

Meet Baby G, 4D!!!!

We went today to have a 3D/4D scan and DVD of the baby in my tummy! how mad it was to see, but baby g wasn't playing ball, all snuggled up and comfy and in a bad position to photo and video, we'll go back next week to get better pics hopefully.

long foot

Freaky and amazing all rolled in to one, look like a boy or a girl?? we can't tell its little face was smooched up against the placenta so these are best shots we could get- so either its nose is smushed or its a Bingham!

It still doesn't quite seem real that, that little thing is in my tummy! and is our baby! 

Ha ha ha R x

just daydreaming.....about baby

what will you will be like? will you look like me or will you look like Steve?
In one of my wakeful nights sleep I lay and watched him sleep trying to imaging a baby version of his face (he was not impressed when I told him in the morning and said it was creepy!) but I couldn't help thinking I might have two versions of him soon, one on his side of the bed and one on the other in a crib looking exactly like him just in miniature! awe I can't wait to meet little g xxx
