On my phone it wont let me read your blog but will have a read when i can get the boys off the laptop!
Eliza is doing really well she will have her 6wk check with hv tomorrow but last week weighed 10lb 4oz.
Still going well with the breastfeeding touch wood not had any problems other than her being a greedy guts lol!
Been getting out and about, went to carnival last wk which was pretty disappointing this year but at least it was an afternoon out!. Busy with school stuff this time of yr with the boys sports days, trips fetes etc and got ds2 competing in borough sports this thursday :-)
Had 2 really good nights in a row from Eliza so hope it carries on now-9.30-3, quick feed then back down till 7, could get used to that, but not counting on it lol!

Hi all :smileyhappy:

Things here are pretty good. Am off to the hospital later about my broken ankle, so hoping for good news- 9 weks since i did it now and still not walking!

Anyway, Joseph is good. He's coming on well. He was weighed yesterday and is now 12lb 2oz (from 8lb 8 BW) and in the last 5 weeks has grown 7.5cm! He has his "health" check with the doctor on Thursday and HV thinks he will get his jabs then even though I have app for next week. Scary to think how quickly the time is going.

We are still breastfeeding! I stopped at 4 weeks with DS1 so pleased to have got further. Am trying to give him a bottle of formula each evening too and this is hit and miss as sometimes he will take it and others now. Slightly concerning as I have an interview next week so will be out for nearly 5 hours with travelling and he will have to take one then, but maybe he will take it better from someone else. Also, if I get the job I will be starting work in September so he will HAVE to take one then, so that would be our summer job. Would like to continue mixed feeding but not sure how/if that would work...will seek more help/advice with that if necessary as never thought we would get this far.

We have been out and about a bit with DP pushign me in a wheelchair and me carrying Joe in wrap. Have BF out and about quite a few times and I don't care where! lol

Hope everyone is ok. It's VERY quiet in here, always the same people posting.

Lil roo is doing great....he is amazing and I look forward to every day I spend with him! Having issues again with feeding but the professionals have said its him being awkward so not too worried. Getting a bit annoyed with total strangers offering me advice though...some man at the bus stop yesterday asked me if I was feeding on routine or to demand then told me I was doing it wrong. I ignored him. I've been rylans mummy for nearly 10 weeks now and I'll carry on doing what I'm doing.

He is a smiler...an out and out smiler! Greets u in the morning with a Beemer! He has an eye for the ladies though and flashes his smile at any female who looks in his direction!

Im going back to weightwatchers tomorrow...im feeling a bit low about my weight (I lost 5 stone before falling pregnant) but know it's easy to fix. Someone from my class saw me yesterday and asked if rylan was mine. When I said yes, she replied after losing all that weight as well. I burst out crying in middle of Iceland! I put on 2 stone with rylan, lost a stone of that when I had him but that comment really hurt. He is worth every extra pound I'm carrying a million times over but he deserves a happy mummy so im doing it for me.

Well thats me off to do some ironing whilst rylan is asleep. Hope all of you are doing well and that your babies are bringing as much joy to your lives as Rylan Jack is to mine x
