so much for trying the 4 hourly thing today.
jemima slept all day
she woke at 6am and benji went to work about same time so by 6.30am we were having brekky
she then cried and carried on after a bfeed at 7 until i gave her baby panadol coz i thought i could see another tooth on her top gum.... so she slept from about 7.30ish until i woke her at 8 to go the gym
she latested from 8.30 until 9.15 at the gym before they had to come find me coz she was SO tired and wouldnt sleep for them
so by 9.30 i was home and she was back in bed
then i freaked out and talked to Michelle on MSN at 12.30 thinking 6 hours was a little long between feeds.... she suggested i check her temp
jemima woke when i was checking temp so i bfed her less than 45 mins later she was fast asleep again
i checked temp at 2pm and it was the same then i woke her at 3.30pm or 4pm for another bfeed and her temp was up a little but still normal!
so took her to the doc
she has a viral infection and is teething! i could have figured that out... that there were teeth coming and that she was out of sorts!
she went straght to sleep when we got home from doc at 5.30 (had to wait an hour) then woke up before 8 for another bfeed and fast asleep again!!!!
very weird
hope she is back tomorrow!!
i had a crap bfeeding experience at the doc............ these two little i'm going to say sri lanken boys were waiting with their dad, jemima wanted a feed so i fed her, with a wrap over my shoulder, i do it everywhere it doesnt faze me one bit but then i hear the boys say to eachother:
quick i have to tell you something and it's urgent
then he goes that baby is sucking on his mum
that's gross
you can see her boob
she has her boob out
that's disgusting
etc
and the father SAYS NOTHING!!!! there was perfect opportunity to tell the boys that that is the way that baby gets its food or whatever but no he just let them say/think it!
ho hum

lisa - your baby has more hair than bella and i didnt think that was possible! i saw his updated photos on his site - what a cutie!!!!!!!! first haircut soon? or lovechild look? he looks so cute and like his dad! but not really like a baby?? jemima still seems to look like a baby where as harrison looks like a little boy?

michelle - thanks for your advice today with jemima i reckon she got more sleep because of it, otherwise i may have woken her more and taken to doc earlier and broken all the sleep she got -and not tidied near as much of my house.......... just the basics way overdue!
