Nai- I actually got out the swaddle rug thing that does up with velcro. There is now ay she is getting out of that! She is asleep now but I am wondering for how long.... I have also noticed she is becoming fussy on the boob, waving her arms everywhere pulling on and off. I am glad to hear that they get over it. Hope you have some entertaining coming up so that you can make use of that new pergola of yours. So jealous!
We had a really lovely day today. SInce DP had to work tonight we decided to have some friends over for a BBQ brunch and it was soooooo good! I love breakfast esp hot breakfast! Even had a glass of champagne and OJ as I had just fed Ash. I actually felt a bit human and my lovely guests even washed up for me! They can come round anytime!!
Tarkine- Isnt it easy in life being a baby, you get pushed around everywhere, cuddled all the time and not a care in the world, oh and dont get me started on te freedom to sleep whenever they want or choose to. I am starting to reminise (sp?) about my sleep ins when I was pregnant...long gone now!
Kaz- Sounds like your supply is building now which is good but you must be so exhausted. Have you thought about expressing in the bath? At least it might be a bit relaxing for you and I heard it can help with getting a good let down. Big to you hun
Megie- Hope you get another night like last night. That sounds like its getting on the right track.
Shell- I want a sleeper too! Have you used wind drops to help with the wind pain? I think they can have them after they reach one month??? The other girls might know more about them.
Jols- how is your DH at putting IKEA things together? Or do you have a good neighbour like Nai does that can put it altogether
ETA- Rainbow Raver- I hope your nipples heal up. When mine got grazed, i just kept on espressing colostrum or milk on them and let them air dry at night you are doing a great job trying
hey girls
all good here
Laura- love the new avvy- very spunky! Get that nipple cream that everyone raves about- lansinoh- or something like that- it is ace!! Keeps my nips in tip top condition!!LOL
to those mummas getting slabs of sleep- whoot- that is awesome- for those who arn't- hang in there - it will happen!!!
Levi hardly slept Easter Sunday- cat napped here and there and was at IL's at nite- there were heaps of kids so he wouldnt sleep- finally after they all went home he to sleep at 11.30pm. Hence today he has slept all day and all nite- he was stuffed. He would wake for feeds- stay awake for minutes, and then zzzzzz. So hopefully he sleeps tonite- but i reckon he will be up every couple of hours.
We planned my nan's funeral today so that is on friday. Its the first time the twins have had to deal with death in the face. They are both very sensitive and very 'in tune' with the universe so although they are at one with it all- its still going to be a biggie. DS esp picks up on things of the spiritual nature so it will be interesting how he deals with a funeral. He is a Chrystal child and DD is a rainbow child.
Kazz- awesome of the expressing and the feeding- i hear ya!!! that is what i used to do with the twins- including the expressing!! Its damm hard and i use to average around 40 mins off in between. One thing i did learn was to go to sleep very quickly- lol- hang in there!!!! It is worth it and you are doing the right thing!!!
Thinking of taking the 3 kids to the zoo by myself tommorow. Its gonna be a nice day. Anyone want to join me?? LOL Wish me luck- nah it will be all good
hugs to everyone else - gotta get some sleep - my eyes are sore so i must be tired lol
Just wondering have you girls all got your birth certificates back? I havent yet and the money hasnt come out of my account. Just wondering how long these things should take?
Also if it has been lost in the mail then what would happen?
I posted a thread in the bf support forum and it looks like I might now have an infection in one nipple on top of everything else going on atm. When does it end? I don't even get the last issue fully sorted before the next one is upon me........... going out & ever bfing in public seems impossible right now. I want to go back to the first couple of weeks when I thought everything was going so well.
Ali - no birth certificate here either. Haven't checked my account.
Hi everyone else! Hope you all have good days. No time for personals, going to try and have a shower before Mr. J wakes up.
Ali - your easter brekky sounded good. We got our BC back pretty quick, but I'm guessing there could be delays. Ring them if you want to find out about when to expect it.
Kaz - hope u got ur shower.
Det - hope all goes well for the twins and the funeral. Children are a lot more open to the spiritual world.
AFM - monster baby last night - clingy and co-sleeping he was whingy... DH is still around the house but he's sleep exhausted too, although he says it is because he can't wind down as quickly as I do, but I've taught myself to do this.. sigh.. men!
to you hun
