Hi girls and bubs!
Well its our last day at our shop in on friday, stocktake on saturday and that's its! officially un-employed!!!!! Yip-ehh!!!!!! can't wait for some time off. going to melbourne for a few nights and laping up the attention in a swish motel,off to the zoo, aquariam and lots of fun places. and in the next couple of weeks it's new cars for all.
aiden and zara are both going well, we've all had a slight does of the flu. aiden is off to health centre on thursday and needles on friday (im only a week behind). he's still sleeping really well...someone posted about bubs waking early we keep aiden up later until 9ish and he sleeps until 9ish so maybe try that or if bubs wake early (like aiden was at 5am) put in the dummy i tend to find now they only want that sucking reflex. aiden will only take the dummy at night before bed now.
i hope everyone is well.
take care.
Firstly - Allison, hello there - guess who I am - Emma (and Bonnie) from your mum's group! How uncanny - that we are in the same mum's group and here you are here too! I'll be seeing you tomorrow hopefully!
Things have been CRAZY for us, so I havent been on here at all. We did go to the mother and baby unit and things seemed to be goign ok in there, but when we got home things just got worse and worse, to the point that for the last 3 weeks Bonnie has been sleeping absolutely terribly, catnaps in the day, crying when awake, and waking hourly at night (hope tht makes your 2hly waking seem ok Mbear!) Things are just mad and I am running on empty.
Bonnie has been losing weight and only weighs 5kg at the moment, considering she was 3.85kg at birth, that's a pretty poor weight gain in 3+ months. We ended up at the Childrens Hospital last week for three nights as they were doing test to see what is wrong... couldnt find anything. Back again on Tuesday and the paedatrican has started her on NEocate - an allergy free formula, so there goes my breastfeeding career, but eh - she wasnt feeding well anyway.
So we have any extremely unsettled, upset and wakeful baby on our hands, certainly not how I imagined motherhood. I have great help from mum and MIL, otherwise I'd be a goner!
So we still arent at the bottom of it all, and we continue to get up to Bonnie every hour, then spend 45-60 mins rocking her back to sleep as it's the only way she will go to sleep, she just fights it.
Life is tough and I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel really soon.
