What a gorgeous day it is outside! If you're in Sydney (or have similar weather elsewhere), I recommend going for a walk or something. We just spent a lovely two hours at the park with the girls and bubs from Ben's mum's group and it was just lovely. The naughty girls spoilt Jared by getting him lots of lovely gifts - totally unexpected
There's another mum in that group who had a baby girl two days after Jared was born and she is the tiniest little thing!!! I can't believe that she is the same age as Jared None of the other mum's could believe it either My boy is definitely a chunk!
We've had such a good week here and I think the difference is that I've been out every day this week. Whether it was to the shops, doctors, park or whatever, it just makes a difference getting out and about. Most times it's been with the kids too, but I must be getting better at it, I don't get as stressed anymore and I'm definitely not dreading each outing like I did in the beginning. The weather is probably helping too - sunny but not too hot. Now if I could just get a nice 12 hours sleep....
Dis - was a beautiful day! I even did some gardening. Sounds like you are all doing well
orange - no idea guess will just have to wait & see. All kids are different anyway, friends of ours whos Bub was 2 weeks overdue was really late walking (no stopping her once she got going tho) so I guess it can vary for lots of different reasons. Sounds like you had fun with the photographer, so fantastic to capture them when they are so small.
Had a great night last night, 2 x 5hr sleeps! Yay, we slept from 10.30pm - 3.30am, then from 4.30am - 9.30am. His sleeps during the day have been shorter and feeds are more frequent but if this is the routine continues to develop I will be more than happy.
Ren - wow, your DH sounds like an angel. Don't mean to be hard on my DH as he works 12 hr shifts but I would loooove him to help like that. Hope things are improving for you and little Ava. Nothing can quite prepare you for the lack of sleep and all that goes with it eh? And especially with the reflux problem on top of that. You are doing fabulously though.
Jo - how is your little rolley boy today? Wow - what a clever little button! So lovely that you got it on film so you can share with your family. Sounds like you have been enjoying the baby massage classes (think I read that on fb). Sam loves his massages, Mum bought us a lovely parcel of aromababy products and they're great. Sam loves his massages and is soooo relaxed afterwards.
runner - re: food and BF. The only thing I seem to get a reaction to with Sam is dark choc. Unfortunately! I make this savoury mince type stuff which has curry powder and a few other spices and he's fine with that. I ate heaps of spicy food when pg so not sure if that made a difference.
None of the other mum's could believe it either
