Hi Nettie....have found this site you suggested....looks pretty good. So as i said earlier my little man was born on the 19 April & is now on some sort of routine....adjusting to it nicely although the nights are still up in the air, he has his dream feed around 10pm then wakes again around 3thirty- 4am then is stirring from 6thirty onwards. So hopefully soon enough he will surely sleep through.....!
Glad you found us! We're a nice little group - I'm sure everyone will be very happy to see you here.
If you get a chance - read through the posts above so you can see the sorts of issues we're facing at the moment (some are probably quite similar to what you're facing!) and so you can 'get to know' the other members. Feel free to post frequently - we love reading everyone's 'rants'!
Danielle welcome back, sorry to hear you have been unwell, but hope you get better soon. People don't believe me when I tell them Oliver is only 3.5 months, how long is Ryley? Oliver is 63cm as of Friday. Oliver is a really fussy feeder, some days he is a real piggy, but other days he hardly has much at all, he will have a bottle at 6.30am, 10am, 2pm, 5.30pm and then around 9.30-10.00pm for his sneaky feed and only has around 600ml - 700ml per day. alittlegrubi yes your link worked, I had a go at some of Sarah's tips too yesterday, got some nice ones of Oliver on his tummy. sarah it's good that you got the DVD on how to deal with tantrums for you DH to watch, discipline works much better when both parents follow the same 'rules'. Nettie i'm NOT a morning person either, especially in the winter, I would much prefer to be snuggled up in my nice warm bed. BabyWrangler that is great that you have a really decent routine happening, and if you are happy for him to have his bottles in 2 shifts that's great, at least you know he is getting plenty of 'food'. I try and do housework while Oliver is awake too, so that way he gets used to mummy going from room to room and not always be sitting on the floor playing with him, if he gets grizzly I try moving him to the room that I am cleaning so that he can see me. Zennie I am pretty sure that the only time you aren't supposed to use tampons is in that first 6 weeks following birth, so you should be good to go mum to Jack welcome to our little group, we are a friendly bunch, just jump on in and post away, some of us just ramble (i'm one of them ) especially when we don't have much else to say.
Had a good day today, my uncle and aunt came down from the coast to visit, and they have just recently got back from vising relatives in England, they bought Oliver this gorgeous football (soccer to you aussies) outfit, a matching cap, and my aunt from england sent over some little football shoes, don't think he will fit into the shoes for long as they are for 3-6 months, and his outfit is for summer and is 6-12 months. I will try and get a pic of him in all his gear anyway over the next few days when the air con is on nice and toastie warm.

Oh, forgot to have my brag, last Tuesday Jordan had to read a poem (one from a book, not one that he wrote) to his class, he was really nervous, and didn't really want to do it, anyway, they all got a merit certificate, and 3 of them got picked to read their poem to the principal and a couple of other 'guests' and Jordan was one of them, the only thing he has to do now is memorise the poem instead of reading it from a piece of paper, I know he will get really nervous and probably forget the words, but that doesn't matter, it will be BIG confidence booster for him and I am so proud
