Deanne, welcome! I was so happy when I found this thread- it's nice to have others to compare experiences with.
It helps to have that extra pair of hands doesn't it? My DH has been home for the past few weeks but goes back to work on Friday. I'm a bit nervous! I have been on my own with her, but still, it will be 12+ hours of just her and me...without being able to call DH to come home, LOL! Oh well I have to get used to it!!
Well we had a great night again last night, thankfully Lily went back to sleep after her marathon sleep in the evening. I ended up having to wake her at 8pm for a feed because my boobs were so full, luckily she ate like a piggy! She was back in her usual 3-3 1/2 hour routine last night and slept until 7:30 this morning.
BF is still challenging for me and I really don't enjoy it at all, though I'm going to perservere(sp?) for at least 6 weeks to see if it gets easier.
We're going to try going to mums again today. We'll see how we go. Last time Lily was really unsettled by the end of it and we had to come home. I was stressed out too with my neice (3) and nephew (6) attacking Lily every time she moved!
Kristie, We're lucky in that Lily seems to like her cradle and sleeps in it most of the time. THe only time she doesn't is during the day really and only if she's really unsettled, like yesterday.
