Mum thinks I'm a bit obsessive about it. I've got sheets of charts and graphs with all the information about my milk supply.

I managed to resist the temptation to write down what I expressed but I did ( and still do) write down all Alice's feeds in either minutes or ounces. I also have lots of graphs too. I love Excel!

All my babies have been fairly average sort of legnth I think. DD1 was 51cm (as were myself and OH). He was really short and always the smallest in his class right up until the end of primary school. He's now nearly 15 and 5' 6 which he says isn't the tallest but also isn't the smallest in his year - about average I think.

DD was 55cm at birth and is taller than DS was at primary school but she's nowhere near the tallest either - again about the middle. She's almost as tall as I am though at ten year old. Then again I am only 5 foot. All my amily are fairly short though. I was recently out with a lot of female members of my family (aunts and cousins) and many of them are only 4'10 or 4'11 and I thoroughly enjoyed towering over them, lol! It doesn't happen often!

Even Tom was 50cm so not too short even though he was only 5lb 8oz. All my children have been good value for money clothes-wise thoough as they're all fairly skinny (don't take after me at all!). DS has always been a year or two behind in clothes sizes as was DD until recently. She now needs the right size or trousers flap around her ankles but we need to buy them with an adjustable waist so we can tighten them up. Tom can still easily fit into 6-9 months clothes aged 16 months. I tried him in some 9-12 month ones last week and they just fell straight down, lol. at least he's good value!

OMG I really should be blonde I thought pumpathon was some kind of exercise I hadn't heard of :rotfl:

I should be a 6 year old boy...I thought a pumpathon was some kind of game involving passing wind :rotfl:


That's what Benjamin is having anyway!

That was my first thought too.

We were at the hospital getting Benjamins hips scanned yesterday and got talking to a lady with her 3 week old baby girl, mainly about breastfeeding and how demanding the LOs are at that age. We discovered we live on the same road as her mum, although at opposite ends.

When we left I was kicking myself for not having mentioned Booby Club to her, it just didn't cross my mind, although hubby said he thought about it but didn't want to say for some reason :rolleyes:


I just got back from the supermarket (Sainsburys because Benjamin hates Tesco) and there was a lady walking around the end of the cul-de-sac looking for me! The girls mum had come to say hello!! So I have passed on an invitation for her to join us :T

You can't have enough friends with babies of a similar age!

YAY!

My_Fathers_Daughter

Everything okay Weezl?

I see you around lots but don't hear much from you...just thought I would say hello!

Lol, me too, except I wasn't going to admit to it! I think I spend too much time with five and six year olds!

This was my 1st thought to but then when she said her mum thinks she is very obsessive over it that was when i thought it was an exercise and that her mum thought she was exercising tooooo much hence the obsessive :rotfl:

I found out yesterday that I have a short baby! He was 39cm at birth, not even on the WHO charts! He is now 53cm at 6 weeks. He is heavy though, about 10lbs! So he is a fat, short little thing. What were all your babies at birth, and last measurement?

I'm going out for a babyfree night with OH tomorrow. Hoping to talk a bit, show him that he is still important and its not just all about the baby. Fingers crossed. AM - would time for just the two of you help?

Hope you're night ut goes well!!
Chris was 56cm (99.6th centile) and 6lb 12oz (9th ish centile) at birth
66cm (75th ish centile) and 13lb 13oz (9th centile) at 20wks
I haven't measured his height for ages now but git him weighed a few weeks ago at 27months he was 26lb 12oz - 25th centile, he's been on the 25th centile for weight since around 12mths.

I know this baby is also tall but I'm not surprised by it as both OH and I were 56cm at birth although I can't remember what hubby weighed I think it was around 7lb 10oz but I was 6lb 5oz (just to add although OH and I were the same height at birth he is now a whole foot taller than me! when I want a good hug I have to stand on the bottom stair so I can reach him! :rotfl:)

MFD - I got Chris weighed every week until he was 35 weeks and then fortnightly until he was 1yr - I even had to make another weight table page for his red book I wasn't obsessed by weight - I fact I didn't really care, I was just lonely and liked going for a chat

Lu - aren't you a !!!!!! I'm loving the dancing! Why do all toddlers seem to dance the same way?
