Babies Born August 2007 #2

HI all,

We managed to get through the night very well. I don't think Xav got mush of a temp. His cheeks became very red at night so I think he was a little warm. But we didn't have the heater on last night and we gave him a nice bath and a good feed before bed. He slept for 10 hours uninterrupted. He is very tired, so I'm keeping my eye on him. So far he has been sleeping lots but still waking when he needs to.

Sehra, yep we had the rotavirus yesterday too.
I get quite firm every night about 2-3 hours after xavier has gone to bed. I Express then if i don't I leak. Whenever I do express tmi but I massage my boobs and make sure I don't have any lumps, and focus on any particularly firm areas. If I don't want my supply to increase I watch the stream and make sure that I stop before I lose pressure. Because Xavier is sleeping very well, I am quite often very full again by morning. It's then that I start the process of ensuring he is emptying. Sometimes this means he will only have one side, and then I switch to the next side for the next feed and ensure that one is emptied.

If it is unbearable I might express in the morning but just enough to release tension. One or twice I have actually just massaged my boobs while having the pump there but not pumping, just to catch the drips.
Oh and Xavier does have a little trouble initially if I'm really full, but I don't rush him. He will have a few sucks and come off and compose himself, take a few breaths and go back in. But the little tike will suck anything remotely nipple shaped.

So far no temps or pain or anything for me.

Claire, hang in there. I was a little lucky and didn't have too many bad days.

Sara, our dummy has saved our sanity once or twice. I'm just glad that I find if Xavier had it when he went to be he doesn't wake up with it in his mouth. Happy 2 months to Colby and Xavier

Well little man is grizzling, I wonder if he's awake or just grizzling again.

:dance::dance:HAPPY 2 MONTHS XAVIER AND COLBY!!!:dance: :dance:

Sehra - You poor thing! Lucky you knew the signs and it did'nt get worse. I hope your not in too much pain now. I think i will be a sooky la la tomorrow too! :( I bawled when Briley got her needles!

Alison - Fingers crossed Emma has put on some weight!

Bec - Glad to hear the needles did'nt affect Xav too much!

Ok so i am back to update you all on us now! Colby is going very well. As i mentioned in my last post she is sleeping around 11 hours a night. Mostly is from 8.30pm to 7ish. Good for me sleep wise but i think my milk production my be getting affected from it. I have been trying to drink enough water during the day too keep it up but i just don't feel like it.

She is a real mumma's girl thats for sure. I have left her twice with Brent and his mum and both times she played up for them. But as soon as i get home and take her she is quiet as a mouse! Cheeky thing.

Colby has been asleep most of the day today but has been awake for most of the days lately. She might be having another growth spurt at the moment, not too sure. She is also a definete water baby. I give her a morning bath in the baby bath and then a bath or a shower with me or Briley in the evenings. Yesterday morning she was kicking and splashing that much water was going everywhere!! I was soaked! So she has obviously become really comfortable with the water.

I am thinking about putting Briley and Colby in the same room soon. Before i was worried that Colby would'nt sleep through until around 3 months and therefore wake Briley during the nights! I kinda jumped to conclusions there! But at the moment Briley is cutting her molars and is REALLY grizzly. She woke up 3 times lastnight and ended up in our bed! So it won't be until she cuts the rest of her molars i think.

Those with 2 children....Have you thought about putting them in the same room yet???

Well i think thats it. We are off to get Colby's needles tomorrow. I am also getting my right ear tested for hearing too.

Well i hope you are all well....

Em has put on 130g in 2 days!

not putting the girls in same room 4 as long as possible.

Hmmm my post from yesterday musnt have succeeded/posted, doh.

Xlnt sleeping there Sara. Lanah is still around the 9+hrs at the moment. We're thinking bout putting the girls in the same room at some stage, in double bunk beds, but at moment they're in separate rooms at least until Lanah is out of her cot. Holly was in a big bed at around 13-14mths old. That way we get the computer/gym room back & can get the huge computer desk out of the loungeroom.

Holly had her 18mth needle today, I take her to the nurse at my GP's, its still free & no huge lineups like there are at the CHC needle days. The receptionist minded bub, she said it was a fight between my GP & the receptionist as to who got to hold her when she started fussing, hehehe. Lanah's are booked in for 2mths (15th).

WTG Ali. What does Emma weight now? Will she go to normal formula when she's back in line with her normal weight?

Hi girls!
Ali, congratulations on Em's weight gain! You must be so relieved to have a happy, healthy bub after all the drama. :)

Sehra, ow ow ow. :hug: That's not good. I'm with the others- darn good thing you know the signs and were able to ward off all the really really serious consequences. I'm a bit of a novice here, but Mum tells me that she only had one attack of mastitis with the four of us, and got rid of it by sitting up all night with my sister and pretty much continously nursing/expressing till the lump got worked through. Sounds painful, though.
Congratulations to Colby on 2 months successfully navigated through the world! ;)

Rebecca, congratulations to Xavier on his 2 months down! Yay!

Rhiannon, bad news on the car. :( Drat drat drat. Have you heard anything further? I put our car in for some major service work today and am dreading the bill. :pray:

Claire, Laura is also in a growth spurt stage, or, as I call it, a demon feeding stage. Yowling and grizzling, and HOW DARE I PUT THAT BREAST AWAY GET IT BACK HERE WOMAN. Interestingly, though, she doesn't have many dirty nappies during those stages- millions of wet ones, but only a few explosive pootastrophes. I'll hang in there if you will. :)

Sara, how do you shower with a baby? I've been wondering for a while, because Laura's getting a bit big for her bath. Any chance you could provide me with step by step instructions?

Kirst, glad to hear that the formula is working out. And the shopping- it was you who had a delightful time at the shops? ;)

Here, we have had a ghastly time. Last night I had organised to go to my gym and get a program update (in reality, an entirely new program, because I haven't been for so long). DH was, he said, quite happy to look after Laura for the time. The gym is 15 mins walk, so I set off at 7.40 for my 8pm appointment. Laura was asleep in her hammock.

Well, the gym will be good. They've set up a circuit which only takes 30 minutes, and they're still running the classes and have all the other weights as well. I'll be doing the circuit.
I do wish I hadn't seen my measurements though. :( I seem to have PUT ON weight since Laura was born, even though I've been breastfeeding madly. And 109cm around my waist! Good Lord. No more cheese for me.

So I set off home, thinking dark thoughts about cheese, and was greeted at the door by DH and a howling Laura. DH shoved her into my arms and said "TAKE HER" and vanished. It turned out that she'd woken 10 mins after I'd gone and hadn't stopped crying since. DH had sung to her, rocked her, walked her up and down, asked her to shush, sworn at her (and at me, good thing I was out of earshot), told her that "this is how babies end up dead!", gone walking up the street and down again in the pram, and was despairing. Why he didn't just ring the gym and ask me to come back I don't know! The number's on the fridge! (I hadn't taken my mobile).
But he was so shaken by that hour that he couldn't sleep properly, and he was still upset with me this morning. I have a feeling that my gym plans are going to go by the wayside, because he won't want to look after her again.
Oh dear.
Oh well.
Kirsten

HI all,

Sara, Xavier seems to be following suit quite well with colby. we got 10 hours after his needles and 9 hours last night. but at the moment he is sleeping sometimes during the day.

Alison, that's fantastic to hear the weight gain is going up!!

Shell what a great GP you must have. I don't think mine would be putting his arms out to take babies.

Kristen :lol: at the how dare you put that away comment. I get looks from xavier as if to say why are you bothering to put those silly clothes on in the first place. It will just take longer when I'm hungry. Poor you and your hubby, did he get a little shocked. maybe he felt a little unloved and powerless because he couldn't soothe her.
My DH showers with Xavier too, I have only bathed with him. Bathing I found easy because he couldn't root around looking for my nipple 'cause he couldn't reach, but I think he would be ok because he really calms down in the water.

Kim I've found that if I do try to use the dummy some times it get spat back in my face as I have the real thing to offer, why would he want the imitation one.

Last night we had a visit from a friend. her little boy is about 10 weeks older a lot chubbier but only a couple of cm's taller. we lay them beside each other to compare. We have photos but they are still on the camera, it was pretty cute and we finally got a photo of xavier smiling.
My little man is also getting a lot easier to amuse (slowly) it was quite funny watching mum brush her teeth this morning. I have been able to keep his attention by reading some books to him too, he's not overly interested in toys though.

Hi girls!

Kirsten - Lol at your day! I visited my work the other day.... Couldn't stay long, and no cake for me either! They didn't know I was coming. I would have stayed longer, but as we have a small office (when I left, there was my boss, supervisor, another girl, me and my replacement. The supervisor left about 3wks ago), they were kinda busy. They want to know when I'm coming back! Might be about 6mths, due to financial obligations, for about 2 days to start with a week. Possibly 3. Oh your poor husband! I find that even tho Andrew doesn't seem to phased by Jensen crying, I'm appologising to him.

Sehra - The circumcision is for health reasons. This is one decision Andrew had to make. He's weighed all the pros and cons. His brother is uncirc and has had a myriad of problems. A friend of the family had to have it done at 40. Also, Andrew is circ and we think, you can't teach what you don't know. Jensen could come to him one day with a question about it, and Andrew wont be able to answer coz he wont know. IYKWIM. Can't come to me, coz I certainly wont know! Sorry to hear about the mastitis. My sister had it bad. Apparently there something you can do with cabbage leaves.... If you express, you'll have some for when you can no longer BF.

Ali - Woo hoo with Emma's weight. Thats great news. With the vaccinations, I was told to stay for 10 mins after them at the surgery (or where-ever you got them), incase of any reactions, coz apparently they seem to occur rapidly. Maybe not! Guess I better get some baby panadol.

Claire - I think we're in the middle of our growth spurt. With the lack of sleep the other day, all Jensen wants to do now is cuddle and sleep. When he is awake, he grizzles. Maybe (fingers crossed) it only lasts a few days... not that I mind the cuddles, just makes it hard to do things (like type on here!)

Sara - Jensen loves the car! Most times he falls asleep, or cries but his dummy solves that. Lately tho, he's getting to the stage where he loves to look around, so hes awake in the car, just watching. Does the hospital not do hearing tests at birth? Why just that side? Jensen does startle at loud noises, just not as often as I think he should. Maybe I should mention that at the next health nurse appt.

Rebecca - I express to purposely make more milk. That way I have some for when I go back to work.

Shell - Our vaccinations are on the 18th, exactly 2mths after he was born. However, its going to come around far too quickly. It's 2 wks away, seems like just yesterday I made the appt for 3wks. :( Where is the time going?

Well, there's no news on my car yet. Andrew is a mechanic, and conveniently works on these types of cars at his work. So he's fixing it after work. He can only work until light fades (it's at his parents place), and then he comes home. Well, after I posted my last post about his problem sleeping, It got better! The following night he woke and cried just quietly enough to wake me for a feed, then dropped off right back and last night slept from 745 to 230 and fed and then 3 til 630. Couldn't thank him enough! Did wake up in a start that he hadn't woken yet. Leaked over the bed... but a good sleep was had by all. Hes been sleeping heaps, and when he's awake, some times he actually looks like he's taking in things around him... like the rattles on his bouncer. He smiles heaps too, but its hard to take a good photo of that when you have to make him smile as well as have the camera ready to take that photo! Well, today, while waiting to pick Andrew up for Jensens consult at the circ dr, Im at Andrews parents place. Andrews nan called from the hospital asking for Robert, Andrews dad. I told her he was out shopping and he'll call her back and her alzheimers is getting so bad that conversation lasted 12min going round and round. She thinks shes at the dr and is going home today. Shes at the hospital, after just having some surgery on her gangrenous heel. Shes actually never coming home... she needs high care which she cant get at home. It was such a hard phone call, as I've never heard her like that.

Jensen seems to know what I've written, coz after the post of his sleeping, he slept like an angel. Last night too. Last night he only woke the once, instead of 3 times! He sleeps heaps, feeds heaps, grizzly when hes awake but settles and concentrates on the things around him! The rattles on his bouncer are fascinating apparently

I think I've forgotten something, but Ive been at this for hours, just typing this one handed and being interrupted and cuddling. GTG eat and sort things out before I go.

Hope you all have a great day!

Hello everyone!!

Sehra When I had mastitis, I found having a hot shower before feeding helped to make a painful feed a bit more bearable and I would massage over the lumpy areas to try and free off some of the built up milk. Also after a feed, ice packs helped to soothe my achey sore boobs! I hope it clears up for you soon.

Sara ICan't imagine having to put up with this "devil child" period for 2 weeks or more!!I hope it passes soon!
I hope Colby enjoyed her 2 month birthday and was on her best behaviour :)

AliI am so pleased for you that Emma is gaining weight, it must be such a relief for you to know that the formula is working.
Have you got your new pram yet? have you had a chance to use it?

Kirsten I know what you mean about the nappy situation. In the process of changing Cam's nappy in the early hours of the morning I got showered in poo, my god i have never seen such a powerful poo explosion!!
The exact same thing happened to my hubby when I left Cameron with him so I could go to the dentist, he was left with a screaming boy for over an hour!!
and finally...your daughter was born on my birthday!!

Kim Welcome, and I hope that Hayden is having a better day today than yesterday!

Rhianon Glad you have finally got a decent nights sleep...now if Jensen could just have a few words with Cameron, I might get some sleep too!!!
Sorry to hear about your hubby's nan. A close family friend of mine had dementia, and it broke my heart every time I spoke to her because it took hold so quickly and she forgot so much.
I hope you get your car fixed soon.

Yesterday was our worst day yet.Cameron would not feed properly, he kept on spitting out my nipple and being very fussy. He would not sleep and he would not settle and my day was spent listening to him crying and crying and crying. In the end I decided to express off my milk and bottle feed him so that I could be sure he got some food. I did this for 3 feeds and it seemed to do the trick.
Today he is sleeping and good natured, although i am not convinced that the feeding issues have completely gone, as he is selectively feeding from one breast, only occasionally accepting both sides.
I finally managed to get him to sleep last night but I think only because he had worn himself out. The only way he would stay asleep was to have "sounds for silence cd" (white noise section) on continuous loop fairly loudly.

Hope everyone is well,
Claire :heartbeat:

Morning girls,

Bec - Yep they are following each other too a tee are'nt they?!?!?! How you going with the BF? Is Xav still putting on weight?? Colby went down at 8.30pm lastnight and is still sleeping now. Its 7.45am. Seeing as she had her needles yesterday she might sleep a little longer! I think i might go and wake her soon as she will need a feed. Plus 12 hours is too long to leave between meals to keep my milk up. I am really panicky about losing my milk supply with her sleeping so long.

Kirsten - Oh dear! Your DH really did'nt cope well did he. Poor man. Colby does the same thing. I have left Brent twice now. Colby was sound asleep when i left her and about 10 mintues after i left she started. Both times! Lucky for him though his mum lives with us and she helped out with Briley who responds to Colby's crying and visa versa!!! :redface: I reckon that the babies can sense the tension and that makes the situation much worse. Making them cry even more. Your DH will adjust. He has too really does'nt he! You never know....you might get to your gym class. Do they have a childcare facilty there???

Kim - What a big boy you have there! He seems to be gaining weight very nicely. I am worried about Colby's weight a little too. Dr seems to think it all good though. My boobs would really hurt if i tried to jump on tramp!! I have naturally big breasts which make it hard to rum, jump or bounce at the best of time let alone while they have milk in them!!

Rhiannon - Yes the hospital does hearing test. Only this hearing test was for me!!! When i went for my 6 week check-up i told her about the headaches i was getting so she did a big check over on me. Well it turned out that i was little hard of hearing in my right ear so she said next time i come in to get a hearing test. I ended up cancelling my appointment as i rushed for time. Colby got her hearing test done before we left the hospital and was fine. Great to hear that Jensen is giving you a bit more of sleep at nights now! He seems to be becoming a little more content with himself. Bummer about the car though.

Shell - Briley is 16 months today and is finally showing signs of being ready for a big bed. Not that i am in a rush for the cot yet, Colby is doing fine in the bassinette. I am not going to rush her in it, we don't even have a bed for her yet. When we get one i will just start with day sleeps i think and go from there. Are'nt you scared that Holly will fall out of the bunk??? Obviously she will have to be on the top bunk. I suppose you could put up a rail. I'd still be scared!

Claire - I found that when i BF Briley, only for 4 weeks, she favoured the right boob. Not sure why though. I have heard of babies perfering one side to the other. Has you checked to see if the milk is still coming out properly??? If the music works to settle him....let him have it!!! At least this way you will get 5 mins to yourself!

Ali - Oh that excellent news. Emma must be on the mend hey! Fingers crossed she keeps it up.

Well we had a massive day yesterday. We took my cousin and her b/f to see a recruitment place and they both got jobs starting saturday. Then we went to get Colby's needles which were perfectly fine. She did cry but only a little bit. Not enough to make me cry anyways!! Then we went to the beach and had lunch with family till around 3.30pm and then went grocery shopping. By the end of the day poor Briley was buggered. And her gums were playing up too.

So yeah yesterday we got Colby weighed at her appointment and i think her weight had begun to plateu. She is still only 5.95kg. I asked the Dr if their weight starts to slow down now and she said no. Apparently FF babies grow much more than BF babies. This is all new territory for me now as Briley only BF for just under 4 weeks. I never thought about this sort of thing. I thought you just had to feed them and that was that. Mind you Colby is still in the acceptable ranges for her weight. I just thought she would be heavier since our last weighing.

Well this is a massive post. Sorry girls. I might not be in on the weekend as we are building a shelter for our new horse! Oh i forgot to tell you all about that! Later! Yeah and i want to lay a slab of cement and build a pen for our geese. They are well and truly into mating season and have'nt got anywhere to lay. We have been putting it off for ages so because Brent has an RDO this weekend we are doing that!

Ok ending this now! I have to go and wake Colby up...she is still asleep and its 8.10am!! Big sleep!

Hope you are all well...

BBL...maybe!

Very quickly, there are many US lactation sites which recommend whacking a handful of grated potato on the lump and holding it there for a while. Apparently it works like a charm.
Who knew?
Not me. Let me know if it works, anyone with mastitis issues (Sehra, how are you?)

HI all,

Rhiannon, You need to stay after the injections in case of anaphalaxis (sp). the rest of the reactions can happen anytime in the next 24hours and the new rotavirus within the week!! I made Nathan make the decision on circumcision too. He's not so Xavier won't be either, and it will be Nathan's job to do the teaching in that department. Hmm, I should probably be expressing to make more for when I return to work, as I'm planning to in january, but I was still hoping to be feeding him at night by then, so I wouldn't be able to just switch over to a frozen supply, hmm decisions decisions.
I sometimes sleep on a towel so i don't leak all over the bed and wake in a cold puddle.

Claire, I hope your days start to improve. Sometimes I think all they need is a proper sleep and a proper feed to get them back to a happy place. I'm sure it won't last.

Sara, wow that's a champion effort with sleep, we are now averaging about 9 hours. Xavier was very drowsy the day after his needles. Have you considered expressing after she goes to bed but before you do to increase your supply over the long sleep time?? I express every night a little while after xavier has gone to bed.
I don't know how much weight Xavier is putting on because he won't be officially weighed again until december!! but I will be doing some of my own little weigh ins before then to check him.

Ok Mr grizzles is making noise, only been alseep for about 30 mins doh!

Spoke 2 the dietician this morning 2 double check 100cal formula recipe n she asked how Em is going. Advised her that Em is demanding every 2 hrs but snacking so I'm holding her out to 3 hrs n she takes a proper feed. Dietician is happy with that n is looking forward 2 seeing a rounder baby next week.

I am getting implanon put in next week. The needle is HUGE!!!

Sara - as long as she has tons of wet nappies u dont need 2 worry.

gtg change a little nappy!

Kirsten, oh no sounds like it was a rough day.

Kim, I would have loved to be a gymnast, bgr about not being able to do ur tramp work with bb's & wrists hurting.

Bec, yeah she is good & loves bubba's. PMSL at the spitting the dummy for the real thing.

Rhiannon, handy havin a DH who's a mechanic isnt it. Hubby just bought all the parts for our 1st major service on the Forester & it cost around $250 for approx $500 worth of parts & then they'd add the labour cost onto it, so well over $1000, but with DH doin it no labour cost.

Claire, hope Cameron is improving on the feeding. Errk on the poo shower, hehe.

Sara, I dont think we'll be putting them in bunk beds for a while yet, prob wont try to put Lanah in a big bed at least until the same age as Holly was, so around 14mths, then Holly will be 2.5yo & even then we can convert cot to a toddler bed temporarily. I'm pretty sure I was in a bunk bed at/b4 5yo. I'd certainly be looking for a bunk bed with an adequate rail though, hehe. I saw a lovely one in the Domayne catalogue today but it was $1300, yikes, was just looking though.

Ouch Ali.

Holly's got her 7th middle ear infection, it co-incided with her chicken pox 18mth injection on Wed, had her at GP access with a temp of 40.1 Wed night, we've had to give both nurofen & panadol to keep fever down to around 38. They looked in her ears but put it down to a side-effect of the vaccine. Fri had her at my GP's & was diagnosed & given antibiotics. The fever was noticeable around 1hr after which is too quick for a reaction & the injection site looked fine. Poor darlin, but she wasnt pulling her ears at all which is why i didnt suspect it. Fever today has been hanging between 37.7 & 38.1 without panadol or nurofen. Oh & apparently most get a few lesions/blisters around the injection site 5-21days afterwards & apparently they are contagious, so to keep them covered with a patch so Lanah doesnt catch them, yikes.

Lanah has woken anywhere between 2-5am the last 3 nights, maybe coz of feeds bein messed about with tending to Holly.

Hi All,

Re: mastitis, i am still taking the course of antibiotics (a bit slack on my part). The lump has gone but my nipples are really sore from Ela sucking on them really hard a few days ago. I had to call the ABA today as i couldn't get a let down with Ela sucking on them really hard again (my poor nipples), her being grizzly and my milk still being in my bbs. She had slept from 6.30am to 10.30am, so i had heaps of milk but couldn't get a let down. The ABA told me to express until a let down occurs then give Ela my bb to do the rest, a warm pack on the bb and just relax! Easier said than done- the relax bit as i tense up when my bbs are so full b/w feeds and want to ease the pain. I didn't know that she'd sleep for that long otherwise i would have expressed some out. I have started to relief express in the middle of the night as Ela has set a routine of sleeping 6-7 hours when i put her to sleep at night. I really don't know when to stop expressing, but stop when the milk stops squirting out and begins dripping. I will call the MCHN to ask on Monday.

BBl to do personals as Ela is grizzly, she has been ALL day!

Take care.

Hi all,

Sehra, when you say you didn't have let down how could you tell? There are sometimes when Xavier sucks and sucks for ages,so much my nipples feel tender from the consant saliva bathh, but not painful, yet if I pull him off and squeez a little I can get milk out. So I'm just curious if there is something I should be looking for to indicate if he definetly is or isn't getting anything. It could explain some cranky moments.

Hey! I'll have to make this quick coz Jensen's fussing sitting with his dad, while he's trying to watch Bathurst... SORRY! No personals today, just popping in to catch up.

I can never work out hold old my lil monster is.... According to his ticker, he's 7wks on Tuesday coming. By DAY he was born, he was 7wks yesterday. Yet on the 18th (not this Thursday, next thursday) he'll be 2mths. I just dont know. I guess if anyone asks, I'll just say 7wks.
OK, blonde question from me - What's a doula? Does she have any medical training? Is she basically just a support person for labour? A liason between labouring woman and midwives and other support ppl? Have any of you been a support person for someone else?
RE: contraception. I never know when my fertile time is, and we've dtd with out any protection since Jensen was about 4wks. I don't want to be caught out... As much as I'd like two kiddies, I just want to enjoy this one for now! Maybe I'll check with the health nurse next week. I'd rather not ask my dr, as I used to work there, and find anything to do with my area embarrasing. I have no way to find out for myself... I'd like to know asap again if I'm pregnant, I found out at 4wks last time! I doubt that I am, I've heard that if your bf, that the baby goes off the milk.
Well, tomorrow is Jensens circ appt, so I guess I'll be back after that, let you all know how it went and how we're all feeling about it.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Hi girls,

Just poppin in quickly before bed.

Things are good here. Lots of gooing and gaahing going on. And plenty of smiles. Not much else to report really. As for me, still bleeding from the Mirena! So over it. Can't wait to try out the mirena's contraception abilty! LOL! Sorry if TMI.

Rhiannon - A Doula is a person whom is hired by a pregnant mother to assits her during her labour and delivery and sometimes pre/post-natally. They are not clincally trained. Basically a support person that is their to support the mother in anyway possible within the doula's means. I am actually doing my training at the moment through an organisation called Optimum Birth. There is a quite a lot of information available of Belly Belly if you want to know anything further. Are you thinking about doing your training??

Well yeah, sorry for the lack of personals. I will be back in tomorrow.

Hope you are all well...

Ni night girls!

Hi, Yawn, Yawn Yawn,

How are you all?

Xavier has been very naughty the last couple of days and is reducing his long sleeps down. last night he only slep 6.5 hours before I had to get up to him and then he is waking at 6.30 because it's so bright outside.
I have a cold and it's killing me, because by the time I got to sleep last night I only had about 3-4 hours.
