Hi all... Gees I've had a rough few days. What's happened to my sleeping baby??????? He has been so unsettled during the day. Yesterday he just slept all morning, but from 12 onwards he just wouldn't sleep and cried and cried and cried and cried and cried. I wanted to avoid using the dummy as I don't want him to get use to sleeping with it but by 7.15pm when I just wanted a shower and some peace I gave in. He still only dozed anyway, kept waking when it fell out but at least I got a shower in. Once I gave him his last feed he went down at 8.30pm as he usually does, no problem. I woke up at 3am & couldn't get back to sleep. By 4am I decided I'd had enough so I woke Eden to feed him so I could have a coffee.... I am now seriously contemplating taking him to the witch doctor I was telling EJ about. I am wondering if a feed, play, sleep routine (which I did with DS1 and he was perfectly routined) will help but I just don't seem to have the time, or energy to do it. He just cries all the time. Thank god DH is off work next week, we're heading to Sydney to stay with MIL & then my sister so that'll give me a nice break from cooking, cleaning & looking after DS1. And definately catch up on some sleep. Gosh I don't know how EJ & Cathie do it with all those kids.

Anyway.,.. On a brighter note.... Eden had his 6 week check up on Thursday. His growth is a fair bit above average. Apparantly by 6 weeks babies usually put on between 1.2 & 1.4kgs & he's put on 1.6. They also grow on average 6cm, he has grown 9 (although they could have got the measurement wrong at birth) He's 5.1kgs & 58cms long.

For those that are breastfeeding... How is your appetite? I just can't stop eating. I literally eat all day long. As I am trying to lose weight (lost 700grams last week, yay) I am of course eating very very healthy, like heaps of fruit & veges, but I just eat all day. Is it just me? I have been taking the kids in the pram every second day & doing a power walk for an hour so that may be increasing my appetite too. Anyone else feeling this way?
