Hey girls
feel so much better posting in here with all you girls- hopefully ali and kazz will join us soon! WIll have to give MK and laura the heads up as well- keep us girls together- cause we can chat!!!!!

For those who dont know me- i'm Odette- i have 6 year old twins and Levi who was born 2/2/09- our promise bubs!

I am really enjoying having just one full term bub this time around- so much different. He is a pretty cruzy baby- has to be with an name like Levi- lol. We still have our unsettled times, our grumpy times, but mostly he feeds, sleep and puts on weight. Had him weighed Tues- now 10lb4- so put on 1 1/2 Lbs in two weeks- his nickname is now "pud"!

My twins are bessotted with him- Hector the protector has to keep tabs on his every move and mother hen can settle him some times better than i can- she is way more motherly than me!

So that is it for me- finding that this time around i am not getting as frustrated as i did being a first time mum- hindsight and perspective is a wonderful things. My mantra- "It is a phase"!! - i repeat that esp when i have tried 6 times in a row to get him to settle lol
well that is it for me at the moment- he has just fallen asleep next to me after tying to settle him in the cot 5 times- ah well try again next nap- lol
mwah to you beautiful girls and bubs

hi girls
just a quickie from me

holly- my nipples are shocking atm too, grazed and sore. i used nipple shields for the last feed and it was heaps better. they are just a temporary fix, but they help get you through till your nipples heal.

ajp- i had j at mitcham. you were at angliss right?

girls- just letting you know there is 50% off some gorgeous hot milk at zodee. i bought a bra and pjs

Ohhh - I grew up in Mitcham. I moved out west when i married DH 6 years ago. It is so my stomping ground. My sis is delivering in Mitcham in August,

yep rainy at the angliss!!

BBL been out all day and im dizzy and buggered!

oh and millie is now 4.kg up 500g in 2 weeks, head grown 2.5 cm and length almost 3cm

[Olive]

well we had a good night last night up 3 times to feed, 3 hourly, so no complaints.
really starting to realise just how tired a pph can make you feel, soooo drained.

[Malyna]

Det- happy to have you here

Meg - I think Alex was playing copy cat. Last night he woke at 1.30am and didn't settle til 4.30am when I kicked DH out of bed so we could co-sleep, until 9am (again on and off the bb), now back to two hourly feeding.

Have you girls found out any foods that bubs don't like you eating?

Does anyone else have a baby that isn't happy unless feeding or sleeping? I swear Juliette has about 5 min a day where she is both awake and happy - the rest of the time she is grizzling, sleeping or feeding.

She is being demand fed so it feels like she is feeding all the time! Also she would't sl;eep yesterday unless it was on me! I felt like I sat down all day either feeding or holding her. Luckily G was at childcare. She is home today so I hope J doesn't do a repeat performance.
