mako - i'm really sorry to hear about your little one. I hope you are okay love.
hi janie, kelly, sazz, marcellus, acacia
i've finally pulled my finger out and got on here instead of pregnancy after LTTC thread lol. I sort of feel very attached to that thread. but the squeaking noise i can hear through the baby monitor tells me i should be on this thread instead.
Welcome to the thread Grub and welcome to the world little Ash.
I think we all felt that same way when our bubs first arrived - it is very hard to leave the pregnancy thread. But you are more than welcome to join in our ever expanding group here!
Hope you are travelling well and looking forward to hearing more about how life as a Mummy is treating you.
welcome Grub! so happy to hear Ash is here and you've made the transition to the parenting thread - the pg thread is a bit of a security blanket (same as the ttc one when we finally fall pg!) - but this thread can be your new security blanket now!
Hi Grub,
Graduating can be tough, but we're all nice in here too
Well, I'm back at work. Or rather sitting around waiting for them to give me something to do (and surprise surprise, that means I'm on bb)
DS refused to go to sleep with babysitter. Sigh. It's going to be a long 6 weeks.
Thanks girls. I'm not doing too bad some days but others I'm a wreck. I know with time things do become a little easier. I'm just so thankful I have DS to keep me busy and get me out of bed every day. I'm wanting to become preg again asap but won't be holding my breath on that one. I see my Ob on the 5th Feb to discuss our plans from here.
Grub Welcome to this thread and a huge congrats on the birth of Ashton.
Gotta go..need some sleep but hope everyone is doing well
thanks girls for the welcome and Hi BG! the good thing about the LTTC, Pregnancy and parenting threads is that generally it's the same core group of people so it feels very comfortable coming in here with you all.
Well he'll be 5 weeks old this friday and we've had a very bumpy breast feeding ride. first he couldn't latch and took about 10 days to figure out he needed to pop his tongue forward and now he is having some major wind issues. So much so it interferes with his feeding brh.
am trying reclining, different feeding positions and Infant's Friend drops, both which are helping somewhat but don't know what else i can do to stop him guzzling in air. he gets about 5 or 6 mins into the feed and then gets back pain in his belly - sometimes it's burb pain but i think mostly it's bowel pain. So we've resorted to using a dummy after he feeds as sucking it seems to help him push the bubble through (going on the boob just compounds the problem). So the last 5 to 10 mins of our feeds take about 40 mins because he''s got to sit up and get his wind moving so often. Anyone else had this or have any words of wisdom/advice?
marcellus - work sounds thrilling lol. I'm sure your little one will settle for the sitter.
We've got our 6week immunisations next week... any advice for helping bub get through? I'm getting my whooping cough and swine flu vax as well, so Dh reckons both bub and i will be in tears by the end of the visit lol.
might go get some shut eye seeing he's finally down. poor little darling, the belly pain woke him a few times after his feed and he's only just settled.
Mako - I'm so sorry. I hope you are holding up okay.
Well stupid me, I just thought it had been very quiet in here, not realising that a new thread had started and Grub has joined in! So hopefully I will get updated now.
Hey Grub. That sounds very challenging with Ash. I had altogether different problems, and my nipples were ruined. Maybe try the breast feeding support thread where there is heaps of experience and LC (?Barb) is incredibly helpful. It's not always as easy as it sounds. However, I am sure with the right advice and lots more practice, you will both learn the way that suits you both and gets the best result. All the best.
Marcellus - Work, what's that? LOL. That must be challenging going back, something I'm glad is quite a few months down the track for me. I keep imaging myself at work a few months ago pre-Adam, and it seems like a parallel universe! Who WAS I?
A big hello to Janie, BG, KellyD, Murph and anyone else I have missed.
All is going well with me and little (big) Adam. He is 13 weeks and 7.5 kg. A whopper. I am so in love with this little boy I can't even explain. But I know that you girls all know exactly what I mean .
He is now sleeping 12 hours at night - 8 until 8 - with some loud giggling at 630am, but he goes back to sleep. He has a couple of cat naps during the day. This just happened one day. One day he was still waking for a 3am feed and then 7am, and then it stopped overnight. I start studying again in March and I was really worried about how I was going to do it with a baby, but now I realise it will be okay. He still has reflux and makes a real mess wherever I go, but I figure it's just a phase. The thickener works a little bit, but I think he just kicks and plays so violently that eh brings the milk up.
