Lisa, glad u finally have some answers & are now able to rest, 20hrs, yikes.
KelliW, wow, no I hadn't heard that one, we r using J&J bath products too & Holly has dry skin on legs/face/arms, although putting a lil baby sorbelene on them seems to be helping. Hmm. Glad to hear ur copin well with the twinnies. KelliW & Theresa, sorry ur mum's r still a problem.
Jellie, yay on sleepin right thru. Hope ur physio can help u.
Nickers, welcome.
Shazz, welcome, funny all 4 of us ended up April buds huh, hehe.
I'm still hangin in there with BF, still sore & blisters but not bleeding/cracked now, still latching & biting issues, nipple shield might be there to stay me thinks.
Holly's weight: birth=2945g, 3d=2704g, 1w2d=3010g, 2w4d=3260g, 3w3d=3610g, so very healthy weight gain.
Holly had 2 u/sounds in hosp, both good (hips & sacral dimple). 3rd u/sound at 3wks for lump I found on her neck, luckily doesn't require surgery & shld disappear on it's own, fibromatosis coli or wry neck, benign tumour on muscle. 4th u/sound at 6wks to chk hips matured.
She had her first BT yesterday @ 4wks old to chk for maternal hypothyroidism, poor lil thing, it took them 1.5hrs to get enough blood out, they couldn't find a vein, so had to do heal pr*cks, only just got enuf.
Last 2 nights = 5-6hrly feeds (eg 8pm,2am,7am), yay. Wind drops (infants friend) & changin nappy between boobs to wake her (otherwise asleep after 1) is working.
Oh & Fri night, MIL gave me PawPaw ointment for nipples as heals, so tried it Sat morn, gave me hives, didn't realise til fully broke out at Crusty Demons on Dirt show Sat night (awesome). Mostly stopped last night, had to formula feed 2 days whilst took antihistamines, just expressed to try to keep from drying up, thou supply seems to have reduced. Also, pelvis quite twisted for 2wks now, limpin around, so can't do the walking, so not a huge amount of weight loss happenin here, doh.
So few hiccups but all is well.
Oh & Holly grabbed our phone headset cable (black, 3mm) today, she focussed & grabbed it, yay, a milestone.
