Hi all,

Another midwife visit today, Jazz was weighed again and she's up to 3750... 40g to go to get back to birth weight, what a little piggy!!!!! Good though, its better to have them a bit over than under, and they lose a little when they go through their growth spurts anyway right? Ah well, I'm not going to put her on a diet yet anyway lol.

She's in cloth now too, as of this morning. Oh its so gorgeous with her big cloth bum!!! We're just using some of those terry prefolded things, like the ones you get in big w and target, except i bought them off ebay and they're a whole lot thicker.

Still partying at night... i think we worked out what is wrong... she can't sleep in silence! She slept the best last night when I had the tv on in the bedroom, go figure! So we're going to set up a little radio and see if that helps tonight.

Rachel, we have a little sleeper thiing, called 'close and secure sleeper' which we use most of the time except when I get the *****s with having no room - we put it in the middle and it takes up half the bed and shel and i squish around it LOL! Jazz loves being on my tummy, though its been a bit tricky with the c/s, she likes to squirm and i'm yet to find a way to have her on my tummy where she doesn't kick it. Sometimes I just put her in t he middle, but i get scared of pillows and our doona being on her. I'm a very nervous mum! (we had to travel about 1.5hrs downand back to south brisbane on tuesday and all the way down and back i kept poking her to make sure she was ok. she slept the whole time and i kept freaking out that the car seat straps were choking her or something ). Do you and your DP have separate blankets/doonas? I've read you're supposed to though we don't yet with the sleeper it keeps it off her.

Mel, I hear you on the lounge situation, we are going shopping monday. i need 3 pillows just to sit on our lounge, plus one underneath as the slant a bit. The first few days at home were murder getting in and out, i almost slept in it as i almost needed a hoist to get me out!!

How is everyone feeding? I'm a bit confused, one midwife says just feed when she wants a feed - when she does the head bob and sucks everything in sight lol - and another midwife says wake her every 3 hours during the day to feed and leave her at night. I've just been doing a bit of both, letting her lead but waking her if she sleeps through for 4 hours (lol, only during the day though!! If shes asleep at night she stays asleep!).

Well, gonna go browse some posts, and then go wake our girl up. Midwife said to wake her up during the day and maybe she'll sleep at night. I doubt thats going to work, I'll probably end up with an overtired screaming baby by afternoon, but we'll give it a go to say that we did.
