Susan, I think you are meant to email the details as per the top post ??


Abs - mentioned it before, but Jordan is just gorgeous!

Glad you have Jen home. Is she feeling any better?

You'll get the hang of bathing soon enough, I think everyone feels a bit awkward the first few times with a new baby, even when they've done it before with other children. I agree with Rose, try feeding him before, then at least he's not hungry...
So very glad to have them both home - no more late night drives/early morning drives between home and the hospital

You can't believe who many people can't stop saying that. We went out for lunch with Jen's parents and one brother today at the local larger pub. Quite a few people stopped by and crooned over him :shock:

We ended up ditching the "bath on the table" idea, and went for a drive (his first trip out) on Saturday - picked up a Bath/Change table combo - will never use as both the bath & change table as it wouldn't logically work that way, but now the CT is up higher than the CT we had sitting on top of the cot - it also has side "soap" tray so can put things in their too

Bathwise it should be at a nice height too - will probably give him a bath tomorrow, he'll be due for another then


Jen is soooo looking to getting off these antibiotics. She is hanging for him to go back on the boob. 2 more tables (tomorrow morning and evening), then will probably convert him back to boob on maybe Tuesday evening.

She doesn't want to wake me when she gets up to express & chuck her milk - she'll change & maybe feed Jordy then turn on the pump. Her milk glands seem to fill just as often as Jordy wants a drink

We were told to give him by the bottle, 85mls/feed, but half the time he simply wont drink anywhere near that amount. Some earlier times he'd get close, then chuck half of it a little while later. Now we feed him maybe 40-60mls and he is usually fine with that... though means feeding more often

Also this formula seems to make his #2's like a concrete sludge ! Poor boy


Gotta go and run off a few prints from the digital camera shots - I took a high quality version of the main photo on his picture sight (see my www) and put some nice writing at the bottom. Gotta run off 70 x 6x4" shots, plus a few smaller ones. Will also do a few of that last picture too - he is simply soo cute


Now to all these other April mum's, come on in - I want someone to chat to Our April pregnancy thread is slowing down with all the births going on, but still a few more to happen
