Jemima - just wanted to say good luck with everything. I dont have any advice at all - i find it hard enough to cope with one will DH is at cricket training for the evening . You sound like a super mum and everything will be fine (as long as you dont run out of chocolate!)

Thanks Em - yes chocolate is vitally important to my survival LOL!! Bes t I go and have some now.

[Michaels Mum]

and i'm back.......

Megan and Em - michael also has dropped to only 4 feeds a day since i've put him to bed at 7 - however maybe once a week he would squeeze an extra feed in in the middle of the day probably just to catch up a bit but i have noticed the last couple of mornings he's been waking at 4 and i've been feeding him as nothing else stops him from crying so i was thinking of not putting him to bed so early in the hopes he'll sleep in a little later - i mean it's not like i'm going to bed any earlier just coz he is and maybe then i could have an uninterupted sleep - do you remember those, before the kids......aaahhhh back in the day............. - god that sounds horrible

well these personnals could go over a few postings - my tired brain can't remember what i wanted to write - i may be back........

Oh my gosh, this thread was only started yesterday morning and we are already up to page three!!!!
Brain is frizzled at the moment, so will do personals without the names, cause i cant remember them all!!!
Hair loss- mine seemed to fall out while I was pg, and none has fallen out since. I have however noticed that my eyebrows are growing quick again (they had slowed down while pg).
Bed times- we are in the process of trying to change Kaetlyns bed time- usually about 11pm to earylier maybe 8ish. trying to get her to sleep at midnight is driving us both bonkers.
DH/DP working away- OMG I feel so sorry for you all. I get buggered when DH workes 5 days in a row and I am with Kaetlyn basically 24 hours. My DH worked 'blocks' of days on then 'blocks' of days off. I could never inagine 2 weeks without his help... let along with more than one child .
Aktavite- I founf that it didnt really boost my supply, if anything it made Kaetlyn a fussier eater. Stopped drinking it now.
Dumping Milk for drinking alcohol- My god V, i wouldn't be bothered, and to me it seems more like a effert to pump and dump (hehehehe ), I wouldnt even bother having Alcohol, just a stock of EBM that you can build up and someone else can feed avaleigh for you. Think of the nice big clevege you'll have on the wedding day if you dont express it .
Each to their own, I am not a big alcohol drinker, and could just as easily go without. The last time I had alcohol was the night before Kaetlyn was conceived- we and some freinds all went out, and had a big one (we went away camping the next day and walah, think you can guess what happened, we are all adults here!). the last alcoholic beverage was mmmmmm about 2 years before that.
Chocolate talk- thanks to all those who regularily cahat about the choc and ice cream cravings, its not doing my 'drop the baby weight' attempts at all!!! I seem to have a bowl of ice cream when I read the days posts- low fat of course. I had to have a extra big serve tonight because of the amount of posts!!!!

Gosh look at the time....
Just a quick update with Kaetlyn. We are no longer wrapping her, I brought 2 sleeping bags- different togs, and what I am doing is letting her fall asleep- wether it is on her side or back, then when she is asleep, i go in and turn her onto her back, and tuck a sheet in over her to help prevent her going on the side again. She seems to be only able to self settle these days on her side sucking her fist.
Okay my eyes are now closing them selves so had better hop into bed before I have to sleep walk there.
Good night chickies.
