Wow Jo u doing well with Caleb,,,
i wish,however we are getting there with nixon,this mornings nap straight down,asleep in 5mins,no dummy no crying...however last nyt took from 8pm til 10.30 to go sleep but once out he sleep most of night,just waking for 3am feed,had midnite dreamfeed then 330am feed but back to sleep hardly woke,then slept til 8am,we have tried 7am starts but too early and hes way too grumpy and so am i..hes not sleeping right through the night without waking but im happy with hes night sleeping,we are still working on the 730-8pm bed issues,some nights great others not so great,hes growing lots so maybe growth spurt..
We are moving out to Laurimar at Doreen towards Whittlesea,very queit and country feel even though in the burbs,we moving twice in 6 months so hope it dont effect my boy.
We have figured nixon loves movement,he will sleep in car,in pram or any movement,a lot of that i think was when i was preggo and working and in car a lot,i feel bad that sometimes he has his 2 hour nap whilst we out driving in car,my friend said i shouldnt do it as he should be home in his cot not asleep in car whilst moving as this is not self settling,,,
Hes a total spunk today,went for lunch and he got his little jeans and ladies man top on,yep all the ladies love him....hes just too damn cute with the dark hair n blue eyes
anyway im off
cheers bon
yes i still lurk around to read all your posts, just don't have much time to post myself - seems i've given birth to the most demanding Little Miss!!
Glad to read you are all doing well - especially you Jo, sounds like you have been blessed with a near perfect bubba!!! - would love to say Ella is in a routine, but nope, her routine is "i want what i want when i want it" ;p
well must go the lady is calling - keep smiling everyone
i would love to post my birth story,its quite comical but sincere at the same time...sums me up perfectly...do i do it in birth stories and how do i post the link here..
Well the routine or EASY as Jo and i call it is starting to work,tonight only took Nixon one hour to go to sleep instead of 3 hours,not bad for night 2...I have discovered the little tacker setled to music,put his musical seahorse in his bassinette and put it on,he settled n went to sleep,gonna hook up the cd player with all my rainforest,ocean type music,,i might even put it on my ipod and go to sleep with it too..
Ren-was great readinf your birth story,you have such incredible strength and determination..
My brain is fried so no personals for me,im suffering mumnesia..hehe
ok off to bed for me,one thing a baby cures is insomnia...
Cheers Bon
Gill & Sonya - will read your birth stories today at some point when I get the chance!!
Last night we went to an engagement party (on a Sunday!) and I b/fed at the venue near people, i'm soooo proud of myself!!! DH helped me to stay covered up so i didn't flash my boob I also b/fed at my Mum's place near about 30 other people at a gathering last weekend. I was so impressed I did it! It's getting easier now.....
I'm so excited.... last night put DD down at 11pm after her feed and she slept til 4am!! 5hrs and then fed her and put her down 5:30am finally and she's still sleeping.... what a little angel!!!!
The sleep deprivation I feel isn't too bad now, I just get up and just do it.... I used to really struggle getting up to DD in the middle of the night (2 or 3 times) and it was hard, but now it's a bit easier.... bit more routine.
Ren, isn't it great when they start sleeping that little bit more? Well done on the bfing in public! I don't bother to try and cover up anymore, I'm fine with it and if people don't like it they can go elsewhere!
Bon and Gill, I'll add your birth stories to my 'to do' list. I still haven't read Ren's or posted mine either. One day...
Us, we had a good night again. Jared went down at 8pm and I gave him a dream feed (something I could never do with Ben because he always woke up) at 9:30, which let him sleep until 2am! I usually find feeds between midnight and 2:30 the hardest, but it was alright last night for some reason. He then slept until 5am before going straight back down again until after Ben was up. I usually struggle to get him down after that second morning feed, but today was easy. He's been asleep nearly all day too, which is unlike him, but when he's awake he's really alert. I think he's having yet another growth spurt. We'll go to the nurse tomorrow for his 6-8 week check up and I'm a little scared about how much he will weigh!
A good friend of mine came for a visit today and Jared turned on the charm for her. I've never seen him smile so much and she even got some giggles. Jared's first laugh came the other day when Ben tickled his foot. I cried and DH couldn't stop smiling to see our boys interact like that
