Sorry for the absence - have been out and about during the day and DD is being a bit ratty at night these days so I haven't had time to be on here. Have just caught up... boy you lot can talk! Will try for personals...
Laura: waiting for details on the "raid"!!!!!! Great work about seeing Barb and getting back on the boobie.
Shell: GL with the sleep cycles, DD is similar with waking after 40mins, but she is slowly improving. She'll sleep through a few at night but day time its generally only one or two cycles...
Ellie: you poor thing with the mastitis. Hope the ABs are helping, glad the losec is working!! How did your MG go??
Holly: hang in there, you can do it, the paed will help - just keep thinking that! Bummer about AF returning! I'm still and AF free zone...
Nai: I think we do have similar bubs! Isabel thinks its 3-8 weeks! GL with the pergola making! Hope the first aid kit isn't needed. Tho if you have the rain we do today, there'll be no work outdoors today!
SJ: enjoy your break! I know what you mean about the giggles, I'm looking forward to it too.
AJP: sounds like Millie is getting into the night time routine well! We are still struggling to get Isabel down before 10pm. Sigh!
Kaz: hang in there. You are doing great, even if it doesn't feel like it. Get started on the herbals if you can!
Shell: hope Em is a bit more settled for you!
Tracey: the photo was beautiful. Thanks for sharing
AFM: Isabel is settling into a pattern of being well behaved during the day - awake for an hour to an hour and a half, feed, play then back to sleep for an hour to an hour and a half.
Then at about 6pm it all goes out the window. From 6pm til whenever we can get her down (usually around 10.30-11.30pm) she is really unsettled, cries then feeds, dozes for say 20 mins then cries again.
jUST WANTED TO SAY hAPPY EASTER TO ALL. I AM AROUND, BUT VERY BUSY. J IS STILL BEING BADLY BEHAVED AND UP DURING THE NIGHT, AND I AM ON MY OWN A LOT AS DH IS AT WORK. I AM SOOO TIRED. E BARELY SLEEPS DURING THE DAY, SO THINKING OF TRYING TO GET INTO SLEPP SCHOOL.SHE HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SMILE THOUGH, SO AT LEAST SHE IS HAPPY SOME OF THE TIME......
SORRY THIS IS IN CAPS. J PUT IT ON, AND COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TAKING IT OFF AND STARTING THE POST AGAIN
op millie seems to be ok going down early, though sophie was the same, she went down at 5.45pm for months when younger we have 40-60 mins sleeps here too during the day.
meg hun i hope someone can help you with sleeps and J improves for you too.
millie has a gorgeous smile too, and a silent laugh, its soooo cute
Sounds like we are all hsving day sleep trouble Yesterday to get MissJ to sleep I went for an hours walk along the river with the pram - she slept the whole time. Then in the arvo she slept for an hour in the sling while I walked around the shops (not my idea of fun!). Today to get her to have a sleep I had to go to bed and have a sleep with her - we got 1.5hrs so that was good. At the moment if I'm not holding her she's cracking it so she is making it hard to do anything! Night is ok and we can usually get her to bed by 8pm after 1.5hrs of trying but she will sleep until 7.30 (with feeds of course) but in between she's fighting sleep and refuses to go in the cradle.
millie seems to need a pre bed sleep every night in the sling, i swear shes asleep before ive finished putting her in it, she loves it though my neck isnt! but this routine is working for the moment so sticking with it, she looks so cute in it too
OP- they say that most babies have a 'witching' hour - don't they just get cranky. A GF had 6pm (when DH got home) when bubs was just cranky.
Nai - that sounds like Alex was - he wouldn't sleep in the day - although the last two days - he's been sleeping really well - except tonight I've snuck him into the bassinette and hoping that he'll sleep on his own.
AFM - we still get a 3hr sleep first sleep, then a series of 2hr sleeps. Up at 8am this morning, then sleep at 9.30am to 10.30, asleep at 12 to 3pm, and after that I lost track of the sleeps. DH had DS til 4am this morning, so I managed to get 6hrs of sleep (with my bbs about to explode!).
Hi girls, I have been lurking but no time to do personals as I have my mum here and am trying to make the most of my time with her. It has been great having her here while DD is sick as it puts my mind at ease and I am having a break from the settling, changing nappies, etc. Mum is great at all that. She goes home tomorrow so I will be sad again but at least DD's rash has just started to ease tonight. Mind you it still looks terribly itchy and red but it is not covering her whole face, just parts of it and her neck. Hopefully it gets even better by tomorrow morning.
Happy Easter to you all. Will have to re-read and catch up on everything later.
Oh And Laura- I hope everything is okay at home, sounds scary hun
Great work about seeing Barb and getting back on the boobie.
GL with the pergola making! Hope the first aid kit isn't needed. Tho if you have the rain we do today, there'll be no work outdoors today!
