Babies Born December 2007 #11

[Tinsel]

Just popping in quickly to say that I am so relieved Vicky's operation went well and that the poor little darling was able to hold out for ages with no food for hours.

Trish, I hope the red patch goes away soon. LOL on the horny 4 mth old comment.

Nic - no coffee! Oh dear. Glad the two cups of tea eased the craving a little

Alicia - I had the same thing last week when Monique went to bed too early and got up at 2.30am for a feed. I thought she would have woken up for one last feed before settling down but we were wrong. Hope the needles go well today.

Bek - OMG! Yes, it would be exciting and scary at the same time. Let us know what happens.

xtml - Monique's volume has been turned up lately as well. It's cute isn't it (except in the wee hours).

I think we both have colds. Monique's nose it blocked up and I have a headache and muscle aches and a really runny nose. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. I was supposed to go to the first parent class at the clinic today. Oh well, we will hopefully get there next week.

Xtml: My boobies have started leaking again too. very odd indeed

Kellie: The tea did ease the craving but I made a proper coffee and had cake to and feel human now

Alicia: Good luck today with needles.. Even though it is over quickly I hate needle day

super cruisy day here. Olivia down for 2nd nap.. Boys just eating fruit and watching tv..

Just had Olivia's 4 month check-up, her stats are; weight 6.47kg, length 62.5cm and head circ 41cm. She did well with the needles, no real crying from my brave baby. Now she is just a bit drowsy.

Alicia: Glad the needles went well. Our Olivia's have very similar stats My o is 6.8kg,63.5cm and a 40cm head lol although I got told Olivia's head is a little small.. I think it is in proportion

[alicia]

Nic - according to the graphs Olivia's head is in the 50th percentile while her length and weight are closer to the 75th, however the nurse said she is all in proportion and doing well.
I can't believe she is getting so big. You know how because you see them every day it is hard to see the growth sometimes, but at other times it just jumps out at you - that's what it was like today when I saw her on the measurement table at the center, she just looked so much bigger.

Trish and Xtml - Sorry to hear you both have sore boobies. I hope they get better soon.

Tinsel - We had the flu/cold thing last week, its a shocker. Get better.

Alicia - Loren normally sleeps through but she has gone to sleep early a couple of nights and sure enough she'll wake for a feed around 3am. I have tried to dream feed but she won't take it.

Morgan - Glad to hear Vicky's op went ok.

Nic - I hate it if I miss my coffee!!! I only have 1 per day but I really miss it if I don't have it.

I took Loren to the health nurse on Tuesday but my nurse was away so I could not get her measured etc. I did put her on the scales at the doctors last Friday and she came in at 6.4kgs fully clothed. As for length all her 000 suits need to be stretched to get them on her, so I am guessing she has hit 62cms. I think I'll have to more up a size soon.

I did another hpt this morning and only a very faint line appeared after 5 mins. I tend to think this is a vap line. If AF hasn't come in the next week or so I'll test again.

Today I bought some MCN...very exciting!! I have washed them already and I can't wait to try them.

Best go...good night all

ok I am officially over it!! Please help! Olivia just won't sleep at night. Last ngith she cried and whined nearly all night. First wake up was 12. then she semi dozed till 3 then I have been up pretty much since then. We did get an hour between 5 and 6 and I slept deeply then but the boys are now awake and so is Olivia. Tonight seeing as Dh doesn't have to get up at 5 for work I am going to shut the bedroom door and leave her to cry.. Is she to young for this? I just need some sleep. I put her in bed with me and she just cried or yabbers away. I try feeding her and she has a few sucks then pulls off.. Im exhausted, no chance for a day nap either.. I am tired of being grmpy with the boys because I am so tired
