Taz ; Hope the moving goes well for you. Good idea to start packing some stuff now. Glad to hear that things are going well with Jess.
Sweetpea: sounds like your on a winner with that hammock.
Naomi: i hope you have managed to catch up on some sleep.
well all is going well here today, Lachlan is fast asleep and Hamish is at Kindy and Emma at school, so my house is nice and quiet. Its given me chance to try and catch up on some housework and gardening. Im in a mad fit to tidy as we are having Lachlans christening next weekend and then coming back here afterwards.
I think i have given birth to a giant. LOL Its hard to imagine that Lochie was in 5 o,s when he was born and now he is in 00's in growsuits etc as they arent long enough. It seems he is keen to follow in his big brothers footsteps. Hamish grew at a rate of knots as well.
On a good note Lochie has for the last three nights sleep through until 6am, so im rapt. Im keeping everything crossed that this is his new routine.
We are busily planning for our family holiday, Dh has decided that we will be going tothe Gold Coast in Oct. He wants to drive there, im going along but im not so sure, 3 days in the car with 3 kids is a great idea, but oh well it will be an adventure. He is blissfully unaware of the kids behaviour etc in the car or at home lately. He has been working 12 hour days since Lochie was 3 weeks old. Ah reality bites.............LOL
Hi girls, it's been a while. My ISP hasn't let me log on to BB in ages.
Annabelle and I are finally getting to know each other. She has been smiling and laughing and has rolled over from front to back 5 times! She had her needles the other day and was a very sleepy bub for abour 24 hrs, but is now back to her old trick of only sleeping one sleep cycle in the day before waking up.
Her weight gain was great but has slowed down lots over the last couple of weeks, so I'm keeping an eye on that. She's solely bf so hopefully it's enough for her. She doesn't seem hungry though and has been feeding every 3 hrs or so during the day and a bit longer than that at night. Fingers crossed it's just a lull and she'll pick up again soon.
I hope everyone's well. Sounds like you've all been pretty busy.
Pam
Hope everyone is doing well and that bubs are settling for you all.
Reaghan has been going great guns since buying the hammock, I have had it for a week now and last night she slept for 11 hours straight and the night before only had a dream feed in 10 hrs. and she even self settled in the pram today when out shopping.
Have not had here weighed properly scince 7 weeks but stood on scales with her the otherday and she was around 5.5 kilos and 58cm long.
Had another great night with Reaghan she went do sleep at 1845 woke at 0500 for a feed and back to sleep till 0820 and now back in bed again. Thanks to the hammock.
Hi Ltjules, I am in Canberra to and the weather has been great. Hope it stays this way for awhile.
It is I, Ms Sleep Deprived.... Oh hold on, most of us now fall into that category.
I have been working what can only be described as crazy hours. Mostly night shift and I am totally over it. Feels like I am out of routine even though Bella is managing to hold on to hers.
Poor little popit had her needles on Wednesday night. I was a tad concerned that she had a cold at the time - but the Doc went ahead and gave them anyway.... Sure enough the cold got worse and Darren had to take her to the Doc's again this morning to get antibiotics... Not happy. Poor little Bella has been crying that sad baby cry and coughing horribly. I just want her better. Scary when babies get sick, because they can lose weight quickly...Luckily she has not lost any weight as yet as I am force feeding her even though she is not interested because she is so congested.
She is now 59cms long and 5.5kgs. Bella smiles non stop and grins whenever the camera comes out. Such a poser....just like her big sister.
Things on the home front are, well... we are off to counselling in the next week. I feel totally lost in the entire fiasco. Thankfully my partner wants to resolve it and took it into his own hands and organised counselling, so at least I don't feel that it is a futile process.
Oh and I have decided to make Bella a "And then there was Bella" book. Officeworks prints photo books, so I have decided to print some excerpts from this blog that I wrote along side photos from the past year and the first 3 months of her life. I am then going to have it placed in safe keeping so that she receives it when she chooses to have a child of her own, or at the age of 35....whichever comes first..... If she is pregnant at 16 I will be mortified! So I hope that it will gather dust before she lays her tiny baby fingers on it..
Hope you are all doing well and all bubs are good.
On my front Lachlan is now sleeping through the night. He goes down at 9pm and wakes at 6am, YIppee.
Its amazing how many people have commented on how placid he is, and how calm i seem this time around. LOL if they could see me now, i havent had a shower and i have stuff everywhere, Ah well.
We have Lachlans christening this weekend so im busy cooking away, and also trying to organise everything for our drive to Qld.
