HAPPY NEW YEAR


Hope your first Christmas with your bubbas was lovely. DH had to work Night Shift on Christmas Eve and Christmas night. But when he got home Christmas morning we had a nice breaky before DD woke and we opened presents and he went to bed for the day. Miss Z and I went to a friends for an Orphan Christmas which was lovely.

Our New Years Eve was a little similar as DH had to get up for work at 4am so we went to friends for a BBQ dinner and DH went home early but I saw the New Year in with a few drinks as my pump had arrived and I managed to get enough milk to be sure there was plenty if she woke for a few feeds. Was a nice feeling to be able to drink more if I wanted. Although I must say the Tired-over rather than hangover was not so good as DD was full of beans and all I wanted to do was have some rest for the day hahaa. A good reminder why it is okay not to drink as it would have been much worse if I'd indulged too much and was feeling hungover.

Well the visit to the Paed was non eventful which is both good and bad. He said that helmets are used quite a lot but he isn't a fan. We had a X-ray to ensure that the suture lines were still opened and we will continue with the repositioning for now. We have another check up in April.

So I have been thinking lots about the whole starting solids and have just now posted a thread about it. I can't believe DD is 5 months tomorrow. (oh TK - DD birthday is 3rd not the 1st if you could update your list when you get a chance ) What are you planning on doing? Starting with puree or doing Baby Led Solids? I know a lot can happen in a month but at the moment she doesn't seem overly interested in food. I've also been wondering if I need to hold off until 7 months given she was born prem.

ISSY - Lochie sounds like he is doing really well. You must feel great with his sleeping! DD has nights better than others but at moment she goes to bed about 7pm and wakes between 2-3pm and again at 5-6am, but this changes frequently lol. Hope you got your packing done, enjoy your holiday!

Mad4e - for DS sleeping through, hope he makes it a regular occurance for you.

Saffi - Has M's sleeping improved? DD is also drooling and squealing a lot. She blows the odd raspberry and when she does it's quite cute. So jealous you got to go to the sales. It was the first year for me of missing the boxing day sales since I was about 12!

Cheezel Monster - How awful that you were sick. Hope that you have had a better start to 2010.

Koru - sorry to hear you were sick also. for DH giving up the party boy status to look after you. If only they realised how happy these things made us hey

Misty - How lovely that you and DH could get out together. DD loves the bottle and seems to be taking 130-150ml EBM so I figure that is what I have to budget for.

MegsMum - Glad you got your car back. DH & I would be the same with fixing before selling. Frustrating that so many don't have a conscious and can do it but I'd just feel guilty. What sort of car are you looking at getting? I love car shopping


Big Hello to everyone else. Hope that your 2010 is treating you kind and look forward to seeing you all around here again when life settles down after the silly season.

Oh and does anyone else find it weird seeing the August Belly Buddies for 2010 ?? It kind of made me feel like trying for a second sooner than I thought hehee. On that any first time mummies thinking of a second? What gap? and and experienced mummies - what age gap do you recommend and why? I've been thinking 18months would be good originally we thought 2 years.
