Hi everyone, sorry I have not posted since my first one...Cameron seems to have turned into the devil child and has been unbearably grizzly and unsettled for the past day or so. I think it is his 6 week growth spurt thing kicking in a few days early!
I have had very little sleep, as he was waking for feeds every 2 hours on thursday night, and on friday he seemed to have alarm bells that rang just as I fell asleep and he would wake up and kick off. The only way he would sleep is in the hug-a-bub with me sitting upright!

My scar is fine, the open bit is not too bad, but he says I have pulled one of the ties inside and that is why it is hurting so much. He told me off for lifting and reminded me I needed to be taking things easy!!
Cameron had his 6 week checkup too (a bit early as doc is going on holiday) and his UTI was just a freak occurrence, nothing present that might have caused it.
He is now 6.3 kg, 60sm long and his head circumference is 40 cm!!! Doc told us he is above the percentiles for his age and will stay like that forever!! he said he is a monster of a baby and is just going to be huge!! (both me and his dad are tall, and both our families are known for breeding big babies)

Sara: with the Merina I had cramps and bleeding on and of for a few weeks after having it inserted, but after about 2 months I stopped having periods at all. I would occasionally get spotting but on the whole it was the best contraceptive I have ever used. I am going to get one put in again until we are ready to have baby number 2.
If anyone is concerned about how long it takes for fertility to return to normal after having one removed, I had mine taken out in september and was pregnant in october!

Me and hubby were watching something funny on TV last night and both laughed...a couple of seconds later Cameron did a "hahaha" noise, so we laughed again and he seemed to repeat the hahaha noise.

What is everyone's secrets to getting their babies to sleep so long during the night? I am lucky at the moment to get a 3 hour stretch before he wakes up demanding the boob!

Oh well, best go as my boy is making his hunger noises!! have a good weekend all.
