Hi Brenda, good to see you back on. I go through phases too, sometimes I'm on every day, others not for days. Depends what those bubbas are up to!
Kaz- Don't feel guilty! Enjoy it. I'm pretty much in the same boat, Hazel is out like a light at 7 every night and virtually always just has a feed and then straight back to sleep through the night. When I went to the talk at the HC the other day so many of the women's bubbas have an arsenic hour (or three) and have trouble settling their bubbas at night. One poor little thing is breastfeeding her 7 week old baby and her GP told her only to feed her every 3 hours through the day. She was at her wits end and her baby was unhappy and would be awake most of the night. She got a resounding FEED HER WHENEVER SHE'S HUNGRY from the MCHN and lots of other mums. Hopefully it will improve for her!
Well unfortunately we didn't get a repeat performance last night but she did sleep til 2. When she started sleeping til 2 it took a couple of weeks of 'practicing' til it became a regular occurance so it may be the same with sleeping til 4. Anyway I'm not gonna worry to much about it, she will do it when she's ready!
I'm with you on the weight gain! I have put on 2 kg since after the birth. I have made a pledge to myself to be really, really good for the next eight weeks then I can indulge a little......it's just been to easy to eat too much, not neccessarily unhealthily but just lots and lots. oh and biscuits. I really need some new clothes but don't want to spend the money when I'm planning to lose weight so I really need to get a move on and get ready for the warmer weather and I can treat myself to some new summer stuff. Well that's the plan anyway!
Got my job interview today. Feel fairly confident about getting it but it will also depend on the travel time. Won't be so bad getting there but coming back across the river in peak hour traffic might be a nightmare and maybe not good for Hazel and of course she will be my main priority.
Well the little gorgeous one is asleep on my lap so I think I will try and put her in her swing for a sleep while I go and make some cornish pasties for tea. take care all x
Hi Sammy, just missed your post. Sorry to hear you haven't been well. It sounds like Kaan is doing really well. Hazel still feeds a lot through the day but is a great night bsleeper so I'm not too worried! Our little bubbas are sure growing up!
Sorry haven't been around for a while...just haven't seemed to have found enough time!
Everythings going well though...Dylans seems to be a whole heap more alert lately and is rolling on to his back each time I put him on his tummy the cheeky thing! He's still sicking a fair bit but it doesn't seem to be bothering him. The cheekiest thing he's doing is wanting me to rock him to sleep - grrr. Louis was like this and I really don't want to get him into the habit. I'm sure it's my fault putting him to bed when he's already a bit too tired...will have to try and put him down earlier tomorrow...
I had a super lazy weekend which was nice - got my sleep in on Sunday which I sooo look forward to each week! Raced around yesterday to swimming for Louis, the gym and dr's for Louis (nothing important) so today was nice and relaxing - it was beautiful here in Melbourne so I got the kids outside in the arvo - Dylan loved sitting out looking at the trees rusting around in the breeze - he was very excited. Louis loved running around as well!
Kaz - Hope the physio helped your back! LOl at ordering Harry potter - I'll buy and read them with Louis when he's a bit bigger I think! I haven't read any of them but have watched some of the movies...
Don't you dare feel guilty for having a baby that sleeps well - Just feel very lucky!!
Kel - So glad your feeling better- Silly dh for making you cry - it's funny when that happens though and they get a shock...it's hard when you feel so sensitive though - I've done it a million times!
Wow on the chiropractic check - how interesting! I'd be booking in as well! LOL. Actually I've been getting all sore in my shoulders again so I'm going to book in for a remedial massage next week. When I had a 15min one about a month ago I felt great for a good couple of weeks! It can make such a difference. I'm starting to get headaches again from them...
How nice is it to eat lunch in peace?? I always make sure Louis and I sit down at his little table each day and have lunch together!!
Don't stress about the weight gain! It's very easy to happen when you have a new bubba to look after - and winter as well!!! I'm sure you'll lose it!
Susan - It's hard isn't it - Thats fantastic he sleeps so well at night!!! I'm very jealous. Dylan wakes Alllll the time! hehe. Only feeds once but...I can understand it can do your head in with all the catnapping through the day but if it works for him...Dylans just starting to have longer naps - he had his first 1 1/2 one today without me having to go in and resettle him in the middle! Normally he has 1 1/2 in the am then 1 1/2 over lunch and a nap in the arvo...
I definitely wouldn't be control crying at 2 months!! Thats crazy!! Poor little munchkin would get so upset. Why should our babies have to fit in with routines etc?? It may just be the way he is until he gets a bit older and has 2 bigger naps??
Target sale is way worth it!!! LOL! Quite a few items for half price!!
Christy - Yeah on the day sleeps and the big night sleep!! Woohoo on the new couches as well - that was the first thing we did after we had Louis as well! LOL!
Brenda - the time just flies by in a blur thats for sure! Hope you pop in again soon!

Sammy - Sorry to hear you've been so sick! Are you looking after yourself? Taking multivitamins?? Hope you feel better soon! Yep - I feed heaps as well...I'm really looking forward to solids so he's going to have something else in his tummy other than my milk - LOL!!
For those of you with "teething" bubbas - are you sure thats what it is??? Just tell me off if you want but it just seems unusual for them to teeth so young...I'd hate to see them being medicated when they don't really need it thats all...Feel free to put me in my place after that...LOL!!
After this epic - I'm off to chill out! Hope your all well - sweet dreams!!
Kriss - i agree with you. Kaan is also dribbling a lot lately, i asked the maternal nurse and she said that it was a sign that they are getting ready for solids - nothing to do with teething. Which makes sense, i think its normally way to early for teething anyways. Just my opinion.
My boy does have a cracked lip, i think becuase of the ducted heating - it dries his lips. Does anyone know if i can use anything??? The MN suggested some nipple cream. I did use it a few times but it didnt seem to do much.
