Swoooon, so in love with my little man....despite him not being so little-lol. How are you going mm and Yas? I'm pretty woozy pain wise but other than that feel great! T is a fab feeder but like you Mm I want to sleep then. Can't wait to hear from you both. Xx
Also completley in love with our little (big.. lol) girl. Its actually making me abit clucky! haha. Breastfeeding is going really well, she is quite the piggy. I have the midwife coming over tomorrow for a home visit.... fingers crossed she has put on weight.
Taylah has been abit chucky.. DD was always a huge chucker but she was FF. Im wondering if its somthing Im eating thats upsetting her tummy...?
Hi Mm-great to have company in here your Miss T is gorgeous! My Mr T is a bit spewy too, it's normal after a cs for them to be abut mucousy so I'm putting it down to that. Weren't both ourbabies a good size? Lol. I'm still so surprised....
My milk is just starting to come in and I am absolutely loving the breastfeeding, it's such a lovely bonding experience. Dh and I are still getting to know ds but we just adore him. Thankfully dd is very interested in ds lots of kisses and cuddles and showing no sign of jealousy even when bfing. I am so proud of her but it will all get more real when we're home in a couple of days.
Hiya.
Cheshire-look forward to getting to knOw you
Im doing okay, very teary though!! Silly hormones. Nothing to be teary about though. Dd adores ds and he slept in the swing all through her play, dinner, bath and milk time. Right now both kids are sleeping and so is dh, I really need to join them soon. Dd is a bit Whingey, got out of routine when I was in hospy and is very tired, hopefully shell bs back to normal in a couple of days.
Ds is liking to feed ALOT! He's been using me as a dummy but that's okay for now. He also hates silence which makes sense as I'm a tv in the bedroom gal. I've put some ocean music on in his roo
And we haven't heard a peep so it seems to be working.
Hi girls
Sorry I've been super lazy but I'm back! Lol.
Star- Mr T is sooooo cute. Can't wait to hear all about the birth! Are you home now? Xxx
MM- Lol, don't rush updating it I'm so happy your BF ok, it's nice isn't it? Xxx
Hi Cheshire
Sorry for the short presses, I'm on my phone and it annoys me!
Afm- bubba is doing really well, he is a little boobie man too No jealousy here either, Ds1 adores his little brother. Aren't our big kids awesome! I had the littlest bub in the group ( apart from SF twinnies of course!) oh,and I got professional photos done yesterday, I haven't seen them al but the three on FB are so cute! MM did you get professional ones done too?
Lots of love xxxx
Hi guys, im also on my phone so pls ignore the typos.
So happy you are in here now Yas and I saw both your and Mm's professional pics and they ate gorgeous!! We are getting ours done next Wednesday.
Last night went surprisingly well....Mr T fed at 9:30, 1:30 and then slept until 6:30. I cluster fed him from about 7pm though until we put him to bed around 9:30ish. He doesn't like the quiet room so I've got the noise machine playing ocean sounds and that seems to be working really well.
Yas I'm taking digesic and panadol for the pain and it's seeming to work. I'm pretty achey though by night.
My 4yr old loves her little sister but my 2yr is kinda halfway between loving her & hating her.
We had a rough night last night, she feed every 2hrs from 6pm till 8am & then to top it off my 2yr old woke up at 4am & wouldn't go back down.
Plus DH went back to work today just to make it that little bit harder.
Star- Yeah, i get the night ache! It sucks! Mr T sounds like a good bubba! Mr R has only had one bad night where he just wouldn't sleep, but he's been pretty good most of the time I can't wait to see your professional photos! When are you going back to work? Omg iv'e missed talking to you! xxxx
Cheshire- We are here if you need to vent- having a newborn is tough, when you have other kids it's even harder. I really hope all the girls settle for you and you get a good sleep tonight. Do the older girls still have day sleeps? xxx
AFM- I had an ok night last night- i was up all night worried about my friend BAL....she had her bubba last night at 25 weeks and 5 days......i found out this morning, but i knew she was in hossy.... Mr R is going really well, feeding like a champ. I'll pop back later bub just woke up xxxx
Oh Cheshire, I hope that your little one comes around to her newest sibling. My dd went to kindy yesterday and today so tomOrrow is our first day at home all together. Dh is sahd and I am going back to work the week after next. Next week I'll be touching bade daily with the office but this week is all mine.
Yas, I've missed yOu too Hun! I hope your friend and her baby are ok.
Last night mr T was awesome but prior to that I've been getting 2 hour sleep blocks between feeds. He was awake for a couple of hours this morning and just woke from a 3 hour sleep, fed for 10 minutes and is asleep again! It's like my boobs are a sleep aid-lol. Better go and annoy him and get himto feed more.
Star- my boobs are a sleep aid too lol. I have a feeling Mr R will be awake all night cause he's been so sleepy today! Please pray for blessedatlast girls xxxx

hearing them swallowing noises is very rewarding
