Philip is a heffalump!
HV came today to do Philip's hearing test, which he passed with flying colours once the machine would work! She also weighted him, last Monday he was 8lb 6oz having put on 12oz in a week, today he was a massive 10lb 3oz!!
I must be doing something right with the breastfeeding, has anyone else's lo put on this much in a week? Feel like he's making up for not being as big born as they had threatened me with through pregnancy!

Holly was 8lbs 14.5ozs when she was born and 3 weeks later is now 10lbs ish, we'll get her weighed by hv when we get home.
I can't believe how quick Holly is growing, does anyone else feel like that? She has shot up over 3 inches!

I cannot believe how many clothes Violet has grown out of already - I need to have a long hard think whether I get rid of them on ebay OR keep them...just in case...is anyone else wanting to be pregnant again, or is it just me??????
lol obi philip obviously getting a good supply, ur diet probably better than mine! i craved fruit like a nutter right up until i gave birth. ryan was 8lb9 when born and last friday at nearly 3 weeks he is 9lb3, he has grown in length too, he is in the top 2% for his height apparently! lanky bugger!

Amy is still a little dot but she's getting bigger by the day!
She weight 7lb at birth and then dipped right down to 6lb 5oz but HV weighed her last Wednesday and she'd gone back up to 6lb 9oz, so hopefully when she's weighed again tomorrow, she'll have gone back up to her birth weight.
I keep thinking about being pregnant again - I thought I was going mad but seems I'm not the only one! Would like a small age gap but want to enjoy as much of Amy as poss before another lo arrives - I'm also hopeful I have a nice, easy pregnancy again as well! Maybe I'm just sleep deprived and it's driving me to these crazy thoughts!

Babydevil nope you aren't the only one who's happy to be not pregnant. I like having my runny eggs and being able to reach my feet and to shave my legs and to sit comfortably!!
Always thought I wanted more than 1 kid but after the labour/birth I had I'm not sure I dare try again.. and I'm not sure I could put hubby through it again
I actually miss my bump despite all the hassle it caused and I'm more than a little bit sad that Bryn will definitely be my last baby - Hubby has appointment to see doc about the snip - seems all a bit final - Why I would want another one is beyond me - I'm knackered!
I miss my bump too, as i didn't know if boy or girl my bump had it's own personality and i kind of miss that. Was warned that it would happen but didn't believe it till i went in Mothercare and was surrounded by bumps and i didn't have one, or a pushchair as oh had nicked him and went to another shop!! Don't think oh wants another one as he already has 2, i think if we had a bigger house and loadsa money he'd change his mind, would like a slightly easier delivery though!!!
Its the same with my oh Obi - he has 3 kids from before, I have 1 from a previous relationship and this is our 2nd together - all n all we're quite a large family - plus I'm not getting any younger! It still wouldn't put me off if we had the space, money etc etc - a lo that slept more would be good though - i tried putting a request in this time but Bryn didn't pay attention lol!
We have jsut put his cot together and discovered that it doesn't fit in our room where we thought it would so tomorrow is now going to be spent rearranging our bedroom, great, relaxing day as usual!
As for cots.. hubby got part way through putting it together and then couldn't screw one bit in so its still in bits on the floor of Coles room! Hopefully he'll get it sorted at the weekend!
Still haven't started on sorting bedroom out, someone is currently asleep on my shoulder and will not allow himself to be put down in moses, bouncer or cot to let me get on with things! anyone else totally wrapped round lo's finger?!
he's not great at feeding .. not sure if i have enough milk so we are giving him formula too .. i did plan on getting water ready in bottles but someone woke up screaming and fussing for attention. he's feeding now .. my workmen have great timing.. getting my roof tiles fixed and yesterday and today they turn up mid-feed!!
