Babies Born August 2007 #3

[neuri]

Just popping in quickly to report that Willa slept through last night! I'm thinking it was a one off event, so am not holding out on it happening again tonight.

But wow, I managed to get 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep for the first time in 10 weeks!!!! Pure bliss i tell you!! And even more surprising I didn't get up at 4am in a panic with engorged bbs either. Both of us just slept through.

It would have been the eventful day she had - shopping trip to burwood westfield in t he arvo and then BBQ at her great grandma's place in the evening. It was the first time i had to put her down for evening bedtime in a strange place and she was just such a star about it! Anyway we got home and her daddy put her in her cot and that was that.

Another interesting development - well in my house anyway! - we seem to have done with wrapping now. I used the grobag briefly but its been in the wash since getting pooped on. Willa's just been sleeping in singlet and nappy and her 'blankie' that she has next to her nose. She shoves her face into it with her dummy and that usually sends her the 'time for sleep' signals. I know how one day can vary from the next when it comes to babies, but i'm hoping this fairly stress free sleep routine lasts.

Alright gotta scoot. Am off to make a bid for a lamp on ebay (my weekly excitement) and then relaxtion time. We been busy making steamed wontons at my place today and I've eaten waaaay too much.

back for personals tomorrow. hope u ladies have had a good weekend!

HI all,

Kim you lucky girl. I'm using my high chair right now. Have xavier propped up in it while i type. Every time I turn to look at him and talk to him he gives me a big smile.

Misty I'm glad it worked for you. i do find I have to do it now or I end up really full in the middle of the night. So If you want to stop you will need to do it gradually, just expressing for comfort to ensure your body doesn't produce too much.

Neuri, yay for a sleep, nice treat for a saturday night. I hope she did it again for you.

Corr, just a thought, have you tried contacting Vic roads and asking advice on weather you should invest in a seat that goes to 12kg rear facing or if the recommendations are purely based on weight versus motion. I guess it would also depend on how well he holds his head up, because if he can't you don't want to turn him around 'cause his head would flop all over the place.

Hi all,

How are you all going.

My little man has a cold, but seems to be ok with it all. he was more put out by our trip out to see the doctor, 'cause the whole excursion cut into some normal routine.

Oh, well.
