Ren, there is nothing wrong with crying from happiness. When I'm breastfeeding, I'm a crying machine - happy or sad
It's awful that your DH has to go back to work, and it makes it hard, but like the lack of sleep thing, you somehow manage to struggle through it. Enjoy your weekend together as a little family!
Well done on Ava's weight gain!
AJC, of course you're welcome in this group - you're a part of us!
We had another good night with Jared last night. He slept for six hours again which seems to be the norm for him at night - thank goodness. Now if we could just get his big brother back to his normal sleep patterns we'll be wonderful again. My DH won't be much use to us this week since Valentines' week is his busiest at work. He works nights and will be working crazy 16 hour shifts for much of the week I hate it when I have bedtimes AND mornings by myself, but I suppose I've got to get use to it sooner or later. At least the cooler weather might make sleeping a bit easier for Ben
hi girls
im here,,,just saying hi..will pop back in later
cheers bon n nixon
P.s Ren-can you change my ticker?im too stoopid,ill email you my password n log in
sorry I have taken my time to post - I came home yesterday from hopstial - same day as Renee - it was SO fantastic to meet you!! and have a real buddy there to talk to!!
yes, I had another LONG labour and very painful posterior yet again. Oh well, at least this time it was 10 hours less!! only 17 this time!!
I cannot believe after 2 posterior labour/births that both times no stitches, no tears just pain, pain, and more back pain. Hey, it is all over now, and we have a gorgeous little girl named Amara. This is a Sanskrit name meaning eternal beauty and it also comes up in Tibetan names as mother and beauty.
feeding is going well, and I did get a pretty good sleep considering we have a newborn -but I am finding that we have to wake her up for feeds as she is very very sleepy because of a long labour and some jandice.
I look forward to writing personals soon - take care and I will be back online again hopefully tomorrow.
I am joining you over here now. How exciting to have "graduated" into the next group. I felt like I was never going to get out of the TTC groups and now here I am. Yay for all of us.
Ren: Welcome back. It does feel like we are locked up in the hospital and I found it nice but weird when I got out. So great that you got to meet with with runnermum at the hospital. I understand how you feel about the nipple shield. I have to use them for both sides as have flat nipples and she finds it impossible to attach. She fusses and screams but last night she did it perfectly but when we tried again in early morning all was forgotten and I was so frustrated. This week now that we are home alone together we are going to workm on getting rid of the shield. Let me know how you go with it.
I have been crying lots too (mainly from happiness) however yesterday I started to worry what I would do if anything ever happened to her and so was cryi ng about that.
Happymum: Congratulations! Little Lachlan is a cutie. Hope to hear from you soon.
Runnermum: Well done to have no tears and stiches. Amara is a beautiful name and I am sure she is a beautiful baby living up to her name. Glad to hear feeding is going well.
disgirl: Emily is sleeping for up to 6 hours at night which was are now not worried about and have stopped trying to wake her. Today she fed at 5.30am and then I tried to feed her at 9am so that she would make it through church without waking and she would not wake up so only fed for 10mins. She then slept until 12.30 and fed again. I just can't believe she did not get hungry! At least she made it though church fast asleep.
I hate it when I have bedtimes AND mornings by myself, but I suppose I've got to get use to it sooner or later. At least the cooler weather might make sleeping a bit easier for Ben
