Hi girls!!

WOW! This thread is starting to get a few more mummies and bubbies now!! Good to see. Won't be long before there is a rush of some more!

Been MIA a bit in here lately. I have been so busy this week that i have'nt had time to jump on the computer. I have been in and out of town all week shopping and stuff.

Things are going pretty well with us. Briley, Colby and I are all still trying to get over our colds. Briley has been stuggling with hers on and off for about a month now. I have had mine for about 3 weeks. We just can't seem to get rid of it. And poor Colby has a snotty nose and a really bad cough which i can't do nothing about. I feel helpless. Looks as though Colby might have the same tear ducked problem as Briley too. And in the same eye coinsedently(sp??).

Colby is going well. We went for our 5-10 day check-up last monday and she had put on 200 grams. So the breast feeding must be going well. She is a wonderful content baby and she barely cries. She loves bath times and just lays there floating in the water relaxing. Bath times are'nt stressful at all here. I bath her on the kitchen sink so i just pull the plug and the water drains out of her baby bath and into the sink. They were quite a drama with Briley though as we were living in a different house then.

She is also sleeping wonderfully. The last few days she has woken up twice a night for a feed but i think this is cause she is coming into her 2 week growth spurt. Most other nights she sleeps from 9-10pm through till about 6am. A god send for me!!

I have'nt really tried putting Colby in a routine yet. I suppose morning times is the only routine we have. I bath her and then she has a feed and goes into the rocker. I am just going with the flow really. She will let me know when she is ready for routine. Briley was 3 months to the day when she let us know it was time for routine. It worked out well.

When Colby first started sleeping through i was worried that she was going up to 10 hours in between feeds. I did'nt know wether i should wake her or not. I asked the Dr at our checkup and she said "Never wake up a sleeping baby or they will get used to it and start waking up themselves!". So i just leave her now. She will wake up when she wants something.

Speaking of which, she has just woken up for a feed. Better go!

Hope you are all well.

Take Care!
