Deb and Kim glad you guys are home and well. Hope you are enjoying your darling little boys!
Seena and Sarah i think Belle and Xavier have been coconspiring with Ruby!!! The days are so hot though here...reaching 37 today so I dont blame the little darling for sleeping during the day! Sarah Im feeling pretty good too, its nice being pain free again yay!
Kirsten sounds like Ryley is going great..well done clever mumma!
Weve had a lovely day chilling today. We bought a stack of dvds so lots of movies to watch this weekend..the temps are soaring here! Trying to find a shade thing to take Ruby with the rest of the family down the beach is proving to be quite difficult..everywhere seems to have sold out! Ruby was weighed again today and has put on 215 grams in 6 days little piggy so shes loving her mummas milk.
Congratulations Kim and Deb, bet it was well worth the wait!
I start and stop bleeding but its not heavy. Haven't DTD again since day 8 because the bleeding came back and to be honest we are still trying to work out who will take what night shift so its a bit all over the place at the moment. DH did last nights shift so I got a good nights sleep and I will do tonights night shift as he has to get up early.
We left JD with nana yesterday afternoon so DH and I could go grocery shopping. It was nice to get out by ourselves but we missed him while we were gone. We are hoping to get a massage in this morning cause we are both so sore. But will have to see if my tummy settles as we tried a new dish last night and it hasn't agreed with me at all (no fair!).
JD is sleeping most of the day, I had to wake him after a 6 hour sleep the other day cause the hospital said that they dont like them sleeping that long on hot days. But at night we are getting about 4 hours sleep from him. Problem is that sometimes it can take about 15-20 to feed ad settle him and then sometimes like last night it takes over an hour. So its a bit of a mixed basket. We stopped him sleeping in our room now and have him in his room in his cot. He seems to sleep the longest in their. I tried bringing him in with us after his 4.30am feed but now DH says that he can't sleep when JD is in bed with us cause he is scared we will roll over on him. So back to the cot he goes and he likes it there anyway. So I think that will be the go for now unless something else changes. Its just hard trying to figure out what is best half the time.
We have the nurse coming to visit Thursday to weigh JD so that will be interesting cause he is a guts and would be interesting to see how much he has gained, also I am keen to join a mothers group. I am not looking forward to DH going back to work next week, but at least they are letting him work a couple of days from home for a while so its not so bad.
Man I have so many questions for you experienced mums so be prepared!
Well our first night at home went really well...couldn't be happier! Harley slept alot since 12noon and had a few feeds, then had one at 11.20 and fed for nearly 40mins before going to sleep for 6 hours!! Couldn't be happier that he gave us a good sleep...then fed him at 6am and he had a bit of awake time and just fed him about 20mins ago and is asleep again.
He is doing so well and mummy is getting the hang of breastfeeding so all very happy!!
So happy we all have our precious bubs, and I sure know the wait was worth every minute! I did really well, only really cracked once, wanted to on a few occasions when the pain of my joints got to me. Was so good having Kim to share the whole overdue experience then share the same day our boys were born!! Think its so wonderful! And so glad we did it without being induced! Also having a drug free labour, which I never thought I could do!
Well I'm gonna go sit for a bit while Harley sleeps, we have Robs aunt and uncle coming today, then a few visitors tomorrow, and the midwife is coming tomorrow morning for the heel pr*ck test.
U girls take care and enjoy ur beautiful bundles!! Will be back on later to see how u are all going
I am BF but last night due to me not having slept and it being a mucked up day (whole new thread) i gave him 50ml of formula....slept from 11 until 3am when he woke up choking on vomit....had a BF and was back to sleep at 5am....and never woke (and probably wouldnt have either) til the midwife came to check him out at 10! This boy loves his sleep.
He lost 210 grams, has a bit of jaundice as far down as his belly button but the middy was extremely happy with both Zach and me!
Ive had a great night sleep and feel on top of the world. The girls adore their brother so much, Chelsea is always kissing his head and patting his back. Jasmine just points and starts talking in her own lingo to him...its so sweet.
I feel like a new women today! Belle went from two hourly to 3 hourly feeds yesterday, which isn't that big of a difference, but it is when it come's to sleeping at night. And to top it off both her and my little man (who was in our bed last night) slept until 7am this morning so I am feeling more refreshed today than I have in weeks Woot Woot I hope she keeps the 3 hourly feeds up. I doubt my DS will keep sleeping till 7am though as he is normally a 5:30am on the dot kind of kid, but this morning was a much appreciated sleep in by him.
Is anyone else still bleeding quite heavily? I asked the doc at our check up yesterday and she said to "keep an eye on it" what does that mean? How do I know how much is too much???? hmmmmm the joys of it. Belle is back to her birth weight already ~ she gained 140grams in 7 days ~ what a trooper.
funny little duck....
