morning all

sorry it's been awhile. just busy busy busy

lachlan is going well, he's such a heffalump - i weighed him on thurs and he's 5.1kg! I'm so surprised.... he was 3.42kg when born. the CYH midwife said nothing so i guess it's normal. He's SUPER long now - not sure of how long but i'm struggling to swaddle him in his blankies anymore. so bought him a proper swaddling thing and he HATES IT. we call him houdini hands cos no matter how tight you wrap him he'll get his hands out. But he can't in this thing so he screams til he finally wears out.

Well last week he was sleeping 4 hours between feeds at night - last night was 2.5 hours max. only drinking 1/2 a bottle then falling asleep - refusing anymore and at one stage woke up one hour later screaming for more - so i'm T.I.R.E.D.

Have all but given up BF - he just takes an hour to feed, and an hour later he's hungry again. i've been expressing as well to increase supply but not much is happening to be honest. i'm very upset about it but as my mum said he's had 6 weeks and i've given it my all. I've seen a LC twice but it's just not working! i want to cry!

TMI ALERT! on a better note - we've dtd a couple of times. is getting easier, but slightly painful - think near stitch area?

nell nell - do they demand more food during growth spurts? maybe that's what's happening atm? I hear you on the decent convo front. i've been going out a lot visiting (to escape cabin fever) and i'm sure people think i'm 'simple-minded' cos halfway through a convo i just stop and have a blank look on my face. LMFAO. to DTD.

berrme & jas - OMG to babies sleeping through the night - how do you get them to do that? a gfs baby does that and .... i just wonder are you drugging them (joking) ... cos there is NO WAY lachlan would sleep through night. i get weirded out when he goes 4 hours! i want a sleepy baby!(although he sleeping in Hug a bub cos he cranky cranks this morn and i need some 'me time).
