Still no news Veronica? Oooo I can't wait either to hear her news.
Good news ladies, I don't think I had told you but we bought a new house, finally about 12 months after we started to look. Funny enough its about 100m up the road. A big 5 bedroom qld'er. Can't wait to move in (which unfortunately won't be until end of october) so the kids will have a back yard to play in as well as room to move inside too. Will be a huge difference from our little 2 bed we are in now.
Now we just have the joys of open houses for our place, which is going to test me I think. Our first one is on Saturday, so I have mum taking Charlize on friday for the night so I can try get the house in fine form, in between feeding. Hopefully it will sell this weekend how nice would that be
Blueflower, I forgot to mention if your bubba only has the conjuctivitis in one eye, be careful not to touch the other when doing the Breat milk thing, you probably knew this, I just wanted to tell you just in case. Also about her feeding. If it were me, I would let her sleep as long as she wants over night and just wake her every 2-3 hours during the day for a feed. As long as she gets around 8 B/Feeds in a day, she will be right. Letting her sleep without waking her overnight I would think would be creating good sleeping habits for night time, you don't want her to get used to waking at night. But this just me, I don't want to tell you something that contradicts what a health nurse says.
Jack slept for 7 hours straight last night. I had 6 hours straight But unfortunately he didn't settle for 2 hours after that, but by this time Charlize was well and truely awake, so wasn't too bad.
Yeah Fran, Congrats on the birth of Alessia, I can't wait to hear more
It is a little sad that the july belly buddies has been closed. It's kind of right up there with realising that there is nothing in your belly anymore lol. I keep having to remind my self I have a real little person in the next room asleep.
Nicki, yeah I think she had a hyphenated name. Maybe that's why we both got such great cuddle time if we both had her. She said she had 2 boys herself, lol though she told me to hold her hand at one point I hope I didn't hurt her.
Mel, I heard the same thing about alcohol. Apparently you need to express enough in advance to feed after you have drunk, and continue to express afterwards and chuck it. That was from our baby classes, 'cause the midwife had accidentally feed one of her children after drinking once, and her bubs ended up drunk. She was horrified with herself, but tells all the classes about her experience because it is so important.
Tracey, I'm glad you have said that you know there is an end in sight to this crazy time, You are giving me hope. I've been lucky enough to have DH here for 2 weeks, and then my mum is taking 2 weeks off too, so I will get 4 weeks of help with the crazy's. Hopefully he will start to settle down by then.
I agree with Sara, any of you with one child already let alone 2, 3 or 4, all legends, I bow down towards you!! You are amazing!!
It's great to hear how everyone is going.
Xavier isn't too bad, although he is snotting milk all over me and him everytime he feeds. He is also having trouble keeping it down now, but I don't think it's wind. He keeps having really mucousy/milky sneezes. So the Dom nurse told me to keep an eye in the colour of the sneezes and his temp etc incase he is getting a cold. It also means he is a little more restless. At least he still sleeps, even if it is on my knee on the couch while my head flopps back and I sleep sitting up.
Well on the bonus side the milk is going through his sinuses and cleaning them out
