Welcome to the new members!
Sara, what a touching moment at the nursing home. I got a little misty eyed when I read it. I can't imagine my bub sleeping from 8pm to 5.30pm. U r lucky. When Willa sleeps for a long time, I tend not to catch up on sleep as I get too excited abt having free time to do stuff and be with DH. Oh and good luck with your course!
Claire - ouch on the scar! Better take it easy so no more heavy lifting! I've been told the hardest thing in the world is to tell a new mum to NOT do so much. After being so large in my last 3 mnths of pgs, I was so keen on doing more around the house when I was able to.
Kirsten - The way I see it, we do so much hard work bringing a baby into the world that we're allowed the time to just live a little. Frankly I don't get how some other new mums manage to look so well groomed. If it makes u feel any better I look like a bag lady half the time. I put on 25 kilos when pg and still have a ways to go. And what a sleep from Laura, when oh when is that going to happen for me! *whinge*
Sehra [/B]- Don't feel badly. Babies mess themselves and half the time they don't even seem to notice. It probably bothers us more than it does them. Due to being lazy once, I found out that Willa had been sitting around in a hot, full, poo-e diaper for hours when I just thought she was being a sook. I forgot that I hadn't changed it at the last feeding. Felt bad about it too but babies are very forgiving :P
Ali- great news about Em's weight gain. Bubs can bounce back so well.
Rhiannon - Sorry to hear about your DH's nan. I hope the transition goes ok. Abt exrpessing, do you mean 120ml from each?? Cos if so, wow, wonder boobs!
Well i had a great day yesterday. Arranged for an arvo of babysitting with MIL who live only 10 min walk from us. I packed everything and wheeled Willa down there only to discover I had forgotten her bottle of all things. MIL drove me back to mine to get it. Looks like remnants of placenta dimentia. It was supposed to be ab arvo of relaxation as I hadn't celebrated DH's birthday with him. So what did we end up doing? DH did some call out work and I cleaned our place! It was great tho. The dustballs on the floor were so big they were scaring my cats. And not good for the baby to breathe in either.
Regarding clothes, Willa is still a 000 but she's started on 00 because its such a struggle getting smaller neck holes over her head. She just screams the house done, so we chuck on larger tops. I reckon she's about 5 kilos now.
Ok, off to hang up curtains now. Got some guests coming round this evening. I'm so straved for adult convo!
