Ryn - Poor DS drinking his own pee! It did sound really funny though! I hear you about DH's life not changing at all. My DH has been fantastic, but his life really has changed very little. He still goes to work, plays his sport, goes to the gym, gets to sleep all night, etc etc. Lucky for him he's ok with me "dumping" Bella onto him so I can have a shower when he gets home and cook dinner etc! Unfortunately "me" time seems to go out the window when our bubs are this little.
Jenni - Jett is a little piggy all right! Isabella's drinking up to the same each feed (sometimes less), but at least 3-4 hours apart during the day and sleeps up to 8 hours at night.
Kirsten - your friend is totally MAD wanting to go back to work after only two months!! She would miss sooo much of what her bub is doing!! I would be mortified if I had to go back to work that soon (let alone at all!). Your Quinn sounds to me like he's a very good boy, doing all that night sleeping! You're one lucky mum!
Kel - How did you go today on your own? You sound exactly what I was like when my first DD was born. Even second time around I've found it overwhelming, so don't be too hard on yourself - as we all know, babies don't come with an instruction manual and every one is different! As long as your Jem is thriving, then you're doing a fantastic job. You have my email address if you want to chat.
MG - Don't ya just love when they chuck when they're clean??? I always worry DH will forget about the water when he helps out with sterilising. So far we've been ok though!
Emily - I'm assuming the blowout was from down below???
Lisa - I had problems hand expressing (my hands got tired and I didn't get much out), but with the pump I did ok, although I'd hand express just until the first drips came out then put the pump on. Not sure if it matters what type of pump it is??? What a pain for you! I never actually felt letdown when expressing either. Wierd. I hope you get that sorted soon. Lol about your little prawn! They're sooo cute at this age! Yay about his weight gain! Fixing the TT has obviously done it!
Kristy - Erin sounds like a good little sleeper too! I let Isabella tell me what she wants, although she needs to work around dropping my other DD off to school and picking her up etc, so to some extent I'm "forcing" a routine onto her.
Me - Bella's great, I'm great and so is life. As you can see it's 2am and Bella's not with me - she's been asleep since 9pm! I'm not sure if she'll go through to my "normal" wake up time but I'm hoping! I wish the US was in the same timezone as here, then I could be up at normal hours (the things we do to avoid going back to a normal job!)! We have our first clinic appointment on Friday so it'll be interesting to see how Bella's going. Our bottles arrived today (I ordered a heap off eBay for much less than I would pay normally, and they're all new in the box!), so I won't have to wash several times a day. Yay! I'm off to bed now - made enough money to tide me over for a few days at least!
