Hi girls, sorry I havent been around, I've been reading just not posting much.

Belinda we had our babies the same day & only about half an hour apart!! LOL Congrats on your beautiful baby girl

Lea Tobias has a dummy, DD used one too when she was newborn. I find it keeps them settled better especially when looking for something to suck but not hungry as you described. Dummys work for some but not for others but I've never had a prob Good luck, I hope you get some rest soon!

Kristi Sorry you've been having probs sleeping, hopefully you'll get a good nights sleep soon!

Milly Hope you've managed to get some rest too! Glad your BFing is going well

Kellie Hows your BFing going now? I hope you've managed to get him to attatch properly now. I hear you on the bleeding nipples, I had that with DD, she was only getting blood from my nipple aswell poor little thing. I hope he's sleeping a bit more through the night for you now too!

Me Still trying to BF here. I have to make an effort & get to an ABA meeting. I'll give the lady who runs it in my local area a call this afternoon & see when its on. It seems my left boob is working but
my left one seems to have decided to call it quits? I may still be able to save it??
After getting off to a great start with sleeping, Tobias decided the night before last that he wanted to be fed every 2 hours! So I was up every 2 hours, took an hour to feed him, then change him, put him to bed & make sure he's settled, try to get comfy in bed with all the pillows behind my back still from the pubic symphisis which has decided to hang around, means I still cant lay flat or on my side! So it felt like by the time I got comfy & closed my eyes it was time to get up again! Last night was better though, every 3-4 hours. Oh I was spoilt with DD!!!!
I passed one huge clot & a few small ones. The large one filled the palm of my hand, was quite a shock LOL I felt it coming out in the shower & I caught it & had a good look hahaha I still lose a bit of blood when I'm busy, rushing & doing too much but apart from that it's stopped. Pain in the butt when I feel it start again when I'm out & about but what can you do??
It's my birthday this Saturday & I think DH has forgotten. I'm not going to say anything though hahaha. He asked if we could go to a farewell dinner on Sat night for one of the girls at our church, I can think of a better way to spend my birthday (with family or a romantic dinner out alone with DH) but not sure if I'll say yes or no yet. Also not sure if I want to leave Tobias with the IL's to be babysat just yet. It seemed so much easier with DD, she stayed at my BIL's house for the night when she was 2 weeks old & I felt fine about it, just feels different this time, maybe because Tobias is smaller?? I guess I'll just wait & see...

Will Mel be joining this group I wonder? I hope she does, her DD came a little earlier but she's still part of our group

Hi to everyone else
