[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Lisa, I'll keep you in my prayers. I am just so grateful that I was 8w gone when I found out now. btw, that second sonographer sounded so evil, I would ignore her assessments.

Kym, Liebs is walking, talking and waving. He's just started clapping. He self-feeds and cleans his own teeth. He is a boy genius!

Kel, I can't get Liebs to sleep inthe afternoon. When I do, he won't sleep at night for me, so he's up until 9-10; DH and I don't appreciate that. He was u p until 8.30 when I let him sleep until 2pm the other day. Poor Jem being sick.

Lieby has lost weight; 200g in 3w. So I've bought tonnes of organic baby biscuits for him and will be feeding him up. I'm sure it's cos he's walking so much more, he's upset if he's not on his feet, but it's still a shock. At least we caught it early. Plus he's now only waking for feeds at 11-12 and 4-6ish. So I get about 5-6 hours every night in a row, rock on! He still wakes up before I go to bed, but I've been singing and patting him back down within 5 mins - helps that I now let him tummy sleep.

Hello Ladies,
Remember me?
I've quickly caught up on everything ( I think ). I'm sorry I just went AWOL. I've had a rough time ( so have lots of us by the sounds ). Claudia has had 5 ear infections in the space of 4 months. Sadly, last night we had a GOOD night, which was that she woke every 2 hours instead of every 1 hour. I'm lucky if she sleeps 35 minutes twice a day. It's just been hell, there is no other way to gloss it over. Jessica ( my oldest ) has had her tonsils removed & I loved staying overnight in hospital with her because I got some sleep while Alan stayed at home with Claudia & fed her EBM. Claudia is not a cuddly baby, if I could cuddle her & take her to bed with me, it would solve all my problems. She does like sleeping by herself but can't transfer from 1 sleep cycle to another on her own. She DOES put herself to sleep most days & nights & usually there is a tiny grizzle, but mostly not a sound from her, but she just can't go through the sleep cycles without waking. I think it's a habit she formed with her ear infections & I'm finding it very difficult to break.
On the upside, she is crawling, finally eating solids & saying some words. At least there has been some rewards in there!

RYN _ Hooley Dooley on Liebs walking, that is damn well amazing! GOOD ON YOU!!!

SMYLIE _ Sorry to hear that Jem is a sick little rabbit. The poor Chooken. Claudia had a hacking cough like that for quite a while & she would end up vomiting everywhere after a bit coughing episode. It's not nice so I sympathise with you! WTG on implementing the routine!

I have to leave it there as Claudia has a revolting smell following her backside as she's crawling around. eeewww!
