Hi mums and bubs

Been really interesting here

Yesterday was a shocker, Naktia was soooo unsettled, hanging off my boob (when she has been pretty regular on a routine-ish for a few weeks), I was in tears by the time DH got home, was a bit too much! He took Nakita for a big walk in the carrier, I went to the shops went to the chemist, got some stuff from Brauers "Stomach Calm" and "Colic Relief", we gave her a half an hour bath, topping up the warm water, gave her the stuff (1ml avery half hour for the first 4 doses) then four hourly, and she finally went to sleep, let her sleep until she was ready to wake, gave her a bottle of EBM - she drank very slowly (poor little tike, think she was stilled buggered), DH looked after her i went to bed to get up for her next feed, 3:45am she was up, both boobs, Tummy Stuff and back to bed, awake a 6:45am, gave her to daddy for 20 min while I ran around the hosue getting a few things done, since then she has fed on her routine to the minute!!! She settled much better today and now she has a much happier mummy!!! I have bought a container of formula incase, but I returned it today as we could only get S26 - she had it in WCH but only through the gavage tube so never tasted it unless she chucked! Then at NECH she had Pre-Naan, you can't buy it though, and she did have a couple of top ups with a bottle after her gavage tube was removed, the rest was top-ups to the Boob and or EBM through the tube. So if I will get some more it will be the Naan, only because she has tasted it and gone back to my boob - bit scared of her preferring it over the boob!!! But at the moment we aren't worrying about any of it. I was also borderline using the dummy for the first time since being home - we used it in hossy once when we were removing the IV, it helped keep her calmer and she didn't burn up as much energy, the other times we used it was when teaching her to suck, so when we gavage fed her she had the dummy to associate sucking and getting a fully tummy. Since then we have a dummy free zone (well we actually have 5 ) - were given 3, but they are all large, and I bought a packet of premmie ones JIC, sterlised them but never used them.....

Still 00000 here.... she is getting bigger, just not big enough for the 0000 yet!!

Oh yeah, the concrete floors are polished - yay - will post some piccies on my blog at some stage over the weekend, the started the frame work today too

Mel - if you really don't think you would use the MCN's I would love them!! I can't wait for her to get big enough to get into the ones we have, they should be perfect in about 2 months!!! I will PM you my address Huge for the PND, if you need help hun just ask, have a great time at the Hyatt tonight!!

Rachel - Nakita had a heat rash, which seems to have subsided with the stuff we have given her since yesterday, and she has also had a lot of little pimples too, some days it looks bad other days clear as.... must be hormonal I reckon. How big is Eli??

Squidipa - I won't be thinking about christmas for a while yet, as for fathers day, NFI ATM!!

MM - Nakita sucks on daddy's nose when she is hungry - it is sooo cute!!!

The Pixie - I was the same - we must have been really pushing hard!!! When I noticed the next day my face looked terrible - so probably why I didn't get more photos!!!
