We've had pretty crappy last 24hrs, Em was just so grizzly yesterday couldn't get much sleep out of her, settling over night too was nightmare was like we were back to first week with it taking over an hour and constant wakings, only great part was she went from 8-2am between feed, recoed for us, too bad after that feed we hardly slept! And of course now its morning she has slept soundly straight after her 8am feed! Can't win.

oops spoke too soon, bbl

Hey guys! Been a bit busy so haven't had time to reply but have been reading. Am heading up the coast again for easter and some family are coming up from NSW too so it will be fun!! So won't be able to post for a bit, back Monday.

Shell- Our bubs are about the same age and the same thing is happening here atm, not getting as much sleep as usual She's still having one big sleep at night but then doesn't sleep for long after that or during the day either. And she's wanting to feed every 2 hrs again too!

DD is so cute with her smiles, and 'talking' now. When do they laugh?? It sounds like it will be soon because when she gets excited and smiles she makes these cute noises that I think are going to turn into a little giggle soon, can't wait, how cute!!

awww shell 4-6 weeks are wonder weeks,

Miss J is confused - she seems to think weeks 3 - 7 are wonder weeks
Although we had a good night last night - dwn at 8, feed at 2, down at 2.30 and wake 7.15 so I was only up for half an hour. Am getting the nappy change down to a fine art!

Kaz, sorry to hear the weight gain wasn't as good as you had hoped. Have you tried expressing one side before a feed a couple of times a day to build up supply, then give the expressed EBM in a bottle in the evening as a top up? I did this with DD1 and it seemed to help get my supply really going.

Tarkine, hope you are not too sore after your fall

SJ, enjoy your break. I am home all Easter as DP is building a pergola - hmm better make sure the first aid kit is fully stocked

[Kailani]

Shell hope you have a better day today

Nai what a great night!

Heaven have a good time away. That's so cute that your DD is smiling and "talking"! Leon is so miserable most of the time, I think I may have seen one "sorta" smile He's screaming as I type this! (He's with Nanna though, I'm not neglecting him!)

Hmm bad news...af has returned!! How is this possible?! I was sooo looking forward to not having a period for a while Just when things seem to be sorted "down there" and it comes back...sighh. So feeling pretty sorry for myself lol

Better go feed L he's screaming...

Just a quick one as i need to head down the street!!!!
Had MCHN app today, Bella has put on 500gms so she is now 10lb 4oz!!!!
head is 37.8cm(almost 1cm more) and length is 53.9 (almost 2cm more)
She said she is quite happy with how everything is going i just have to get one thing checked out that she is a little concerned about - bella has this dint in her bum crack lol (sounds funny when u type it) she said thats something that goes along with having spina biffida so i gotta see the GP..
But all is good!!!

[Ellie]

Happy Easter everyone! We'll be taking it easy...enjoying the losec and antibiotics...and exploding boobies lol...got to keep the sense of humor right? Heading off to my first mothers group today...a little nervous...and to think I have double the decisions to make now in the wardrobe department...Anika and me to dress...she has more clothes than me...fun!

[shellbell3]

Laura- Yay on weight gain, hopefully the dint will be nothing, I'm sure they juust have to be thourough and get everything checked out to make sure. How is the BFing going?

Holly- That sucks AF is back! Some ppl lucky and not get for months and others not so lucky.

Nai- Lol at stocking first aid kit, hopefully it won't need to be used! Great night had there.

SJ- I love the smiles and chats, after our first morning feed before Ash gets up we usually have a cuddle and 'chat'. Enjoy your time away.

AJP- Yay on good night, yeah Df been good here helping out. No excuse for him now he on holidays.

Tarkine- Maybe chart how much he sleeps and maybe all his small naps do add up to a good amount. How is he after his jabs?

Det- Thanks, we are persevering, Ash was a shcoker we could never get 2nd sleep cycle out of her til she was like one.

Kaz- How are you today? Try not to be hard on yourself the girls have given some good sounding advice.

Ellie- are you getting alot pain in the boobs? Hopefully sorts itself out soon.
