ouch julie , i hope your scar heals up soon , it must be a sign that your doing a bit too much me thinks ....
on wed i spent the whole day in bed .. it was soo nice , just me and gabby ... and then yesterday we all went into brisbane to ther dfo and shopped for about 5 hrs ... i really needed some new clothes so we went there , i know i will lose a bit of weight between now and summer but i really couldnt hang oiut in maternity tackpants till then !!
gabby is windy one too.. we tried happy baby newborn size but she just gags on them , so i'll try the premmiee size , or avent ....maybe even the nuk shape ...she needs something i get no sleep , i want to help her ease her pain by letting her suckle but she'll drink more and make it worse... i can her her tummy gurgling and i hate seeing her wince in pain
i think this pain in my nipple is called a vasospasm... my left is still really bruised a sore... when gab comes off the nipple its white, and a bit ridged.. so her attatchment must be that great...so on monday when we go for a check up i will ask about it ...
right its about time i cleared up my freeezer space .... what should i do with my placenta??? im thinking of planting it but not sure what kind of plant...

Lea - i have the nuk newborn dummy for alicia and she happily sucks away. its the only one she took to of all the brands. Ali uses it to fall asleep on but then spits it as she converts to the land of nod ....Nice effort going shopping - DFO is great i love the sydney one ... hope you found some good stuff ....
Julie - ouch on your scar .... how painful it must be !! Have you noticed yor scar seems bruised? Mine is quite tender above the scar line and I have to wait for DH to come home tonight to take me to the dr to check it as it is also tender to touch ....
Belinda - sounds like you have a nice little sleeper there - 11 hours wow!!! Has scott gone back to work yet ??
Niamh - Welcome to our group! I hope you find support & friendship in here in the absence of your family - not that anything can replace family but you are free to moan away in here all you need to in order to keep sane!!
Kell - sorry to hear you have been having a tough time hun. All sounds so painful for you ... hope things continue to improve for you so you can feel like your old self again xo
Milly - hun more power to you for coping without dh .... you are superwoman!!! i love the bribe tactics but should be a fun show .... i got my blues day 4 i think but at night when everything seemed a thousand times worse - still does too lol !!! if only we lived closer then i could legitimately offer if you needed anything while dh was away just holler out .... xo
Danielle - how are you going milk supply wise now hun ?? hope things are improving? have you decided what you are doing for your birthday yet ??
We are going ok here. Really getting frustrated at the whole no driving no lifting things rule when I normally am so organised and have everything done ... hard to learn to rely on others so much .... DH working hard but hopefully home early today so I can go to dr otherwise waiting for weather to clear and i will walk down. Ali had sticky eye as well and nurses said the same about breastmilk as it is full of natural goodness !!!
Ali doing well - 4 weeks old next monday on dates cant believe how quick it is going. she feeds every 3-3.5 hours like clockwork and is gaining weight nicely. this morning she has been a little horror though. i feed her at 630 and she still not fully asleep she gets herself to the point of sleep then wakes up again lol ... aaargh lololol one of those days today ....
hope everyone going ok today. is everyone stoked about fathers day - i cant wait to spoil dh on his first one !!!
Thomas is tougne tied, evie was too so it doesnt suprise me too much. What was funny is that it took me two weeks to figure it out. My nipple was sore after feed and white and bent...but no did i think about it LOL... need more sleep - if to make logical decisions
Got an appointment in at a specialist tuesday, its a quick cut but do wish DH was going to be home.... oh well.
All kids slept well last night just not at the same time but happy to know that we are getting there and wont have to give up one for adoption! LOL
i will write more personals later, am trying to get organised so i can have a sleep today
Milly I wouldnt be too hard on yourself as yes no sleep can play havoc with our ability to think logically ... still hope all goes well at the appointment and you get some sleep today !
Ali is finally asleep. I ended up walking to the doc who said my scar is perfectly normal and looks to be healing well so the pain and tenderness is more than likely the muscles repairing themselves but all good as nothing to worry about. I cant believe she stayed awake that long though. She finally went to sleep after another feed (this after chucking back the entire, I swear, 930am feed) ... so in desperation I went for the walk to the doc where she was asleep until screaming kiddies in the surgery woke her. When we got home she fed again at 1130 and has been asleep since 12 .... so lets hope this is a decent sleep as she was awake since 630 this morning or something like that ... still better during the day than at night ......
DH home early today too so at least I can get some rest time in ................
Thanks Mel, I guess as the bubs get older we will have to get use to them sleeping less. Poor Ali being woken at the Drs but glad that your scar is ok and that now you dont need to waste the time your DH is home going to the Docs.
I slept from 10 til 1 yippy, Thomas makes so much noise....wonder how long it will be before i heave him out of my room. He resettles himself really well but at night i want to shut him up quicker so i try sticking a boob in his face, he then has a bit and we both fall asleep together....then he wakes and starts settling himself again but i already have the boob out so think he has just come off LOL then i look at the clock and its really been 2hrs LOL..... Where as through the day i hear him then before i can get to him he is asleep again........ Poor little man, he'll be having nightmares about boobs soon
Grace is due home from kindy soon and that means mum and dad will drop eve off too..... quiet was nice while it lasted
Hi everyone, I'm lurking. I will catch up on personals soon.
Very tired & having big probs trying to get Tobias on the boob. Milk still there, cant pump any out anymore, he wont attatch either. I can still squeeze a bit out so happy milk hasn't gone. I called ABA but no meetings until the end of this month so about 3 weeks to wait, hopefully wont be too late by then.....
DD started swimming lessons today, I didnt have her enrolled through the colder months as she misses too many pre paid lessons when sick. Of course this year when she wasn't enrolled she didnt get sick but had I enrolled her she would have been sick for sure.
Tobias needs to have his belly button checked & his left hip. The ECHN came by & they're the things she wants double checked by a doctor. She said she didnt know if the clicking noise was coming from his left hip or knee so best to get checked. His belly button is sticking out a bit more than normal so needs to be checked. I also need to get a referal for circumcision (sp?) which needs to be done soon.
We're going out to dinner tonight for my birthday, I think MIL may have asked DH what we're doing for my birthday which reminded him about it, he mentioned it for the first time yesterday even asking what I wanted for a pressie, cutting it a bit fine as its tomorrow but oh well. So we're going out with his family, I would have preferred a nice quiet dinner out alone with DH but this will be nice aswell.
I hope everyone is well, sleeping as much as possible etc.
but happy to know that we are getting there and wont have to give up one for adoption! LOL
