I think last night Zy was awake from 12 til 4am & he's been feeding like 2hourly since, my boobs are massive & he always has milk dripping outta his mouth, so I dont think he can be hungry, but he's just not settling for longer than 2 hours!
Oh well, it's not forever..
Indah is being really good too.... Isnt eating well, but oh well!??? It isnt the end of the world & wont be forever hey!!!
Gonna head out to grab a few groceries later Might wait til Mum's home & see if she wnats to come (that way she can keep an eye on Indah!)
-
hey everyone
hope everyone is enjoying their little ones
we had a good night last night!! I fed Avaleigh at 6.30pm (she woke as soon as i sat down for dinner but was quite happy in her bassinette) and then slept until 11.30pm and then fed every 3 hrs after that. she's in my arms at the moment and is so alert.
tracey - tell me bout the massive boobs!! im actually liking my new additions cause i am quite small. hehe
hey, what are you all dressing your bubs in at home?? i was just doing a singlet, bonds wondersuit and a wrap and then when she is in the bassinette she has two blankets. she always has cold hands so today i decided to put on an extra layer, so she has a singlet, bpnds wondersuit and another fleecy sort of body suit over and she's got a wrap. do you think this is ok or too much? dont want to overheat her or have her too cold...
i need to go to the shops today to get some supplies. might wait until jason comes home and we can have our first outing together

Hey Veronica, I don't know what the temp. is like over there. But maybe if her hands are cold you could just put on a pair of mittins, you know the ones to stop them from stratching themselves, they work well for us. Charlee and Jack always have them on at home when they sleep and they always have nice warm fingers:p Like you said you don't want her to over heat, especially with SIDS. Sounds like she is thriving well though, you must be doing a great job with her, well done.;)
Relle, Charlee has been a real little miss too lately. She is an angel at mums for most of the times when we go out, so I have just put it down to boredom, now that I can't spend as much time with her. SO I try to get out as much as possible, for both our sanities.:rolleyes:
I can't believe how well Jack was last night and the last few nights as a matter. Last night he slept from 9pm to 2am, feed then back down by 3, then woke at 5:30am, I'm stoked.:dance: Had nearly 7 hours sleep haven't had that much sleep for a long long time. And he is smiling now too:D it's so cute have got a couple of pics of him to download just haven't had the chance. Will upload them onto the site when I can.
Still haven't heard about the house we put a contract to. Fingers crossed we hear back something soon.:pray:
-
Mel - yay for Jack sleeping so well! Must be a huge turn around. The weather here the past week has been fairly cold and wet and the house has been around 18-20 degrees and outside its been high teens. The mittens is a good idea.
oh my little darling is awake for a feed. And good timing cause boobs are starting to get sore! lol
I put some more pics of Avaleigh up plus what my belly is looking like now and I must say... I really miss my pregnant belly!!

Hi all,
No time for personals- am just really sort of waking up,
Kaetlyn was so unsettled last night from about 6 till 3am. Everytime she was asleep we put her in the cot, she would wake again. DH went and did an 11pm run to get a dummie and even that didnt work, she wouldn't suck on it. At last resort, we let her cry in cot for 5 minutes at a time and would go in and give her a pat and soothe her and then leave again. Oh it was so hard seeing her distressed like that. we then fed her again a 2am and did the same thing and walla! it worked, she finally went to sleep about 3am. She then slept right through till about 930 when I had to stir her for a feed.
Does anyone have any advice on settling? It was at the stge where i was feeding her every 2 hours to settle her, but as soon as we finished she was unsettled again.
DH and I were at the end of our tether. thankgoodness she finallly went to sleep. I think that she is so tired today from being awake so long last night.
-
oh my am i exhausted!! Avaleigh has not been to sleep since 11.30am! I've done everything over and over again - feed, burp, change nappy, cuddle - put her down and she is awake again! Is this normal for a 1 week old? I havent even managed a rest!!
Hopefully this means she is going to have a nice long sleep tonight! Planning to bath her tonight, so I hope she settles so I can sleep too.
-
hi Guys,
Just popping my head in to see how your all going, now that there are sooo many of you in here.
-
There are still more people to join this forum yet and already I cant keep up LOL!!!
Relle- re your question on how the boys are coping with charlottes arrival - we have our moments but they are going pretty well. I didnt even think Jesse would notice here but he has and starts crying when she does but is still quite loving to her and tries to touch her. Oliver is doting to the point of smothering her. He is always wanting to touch her and cuddle her and sometimes nearly squashes her!!. Fortunately neither of them have been "playing up" (well no more than usual LOL) with her arrival for which I am very happy. But like i have said before this could be just because DH is home and it might all come crashing down around me when he goes back to work!! Hugs to you - I am sure campbell will adjust soon. Thank goodness Angus is being a little champ for you.
V - I hope Avaleigh went up to sleep for you yesterday. It is so hard isnt it when you cant settle them - exhausting. Are you still co sleeping with her?
Mel - yay again for Jack he is doing so well. You must be stoked.
LV to everyone still in the late July thread - wont be long now although I am sur eyou are sick of hearing that.
Hi to everyone else. We havent heard from Flossie, Moglie and Kylie for a while - hope you guys are ok.
Not much new here. O and J were in cc yesterday so we had a lovely day with just Cahrlotte. We went out for lunch with friends and then pottered about the house - I even managed to bake some choc chip biscuits. Charlotte slept from 9.45 until 2.45 last night when I fed her and then went until about 6 again so I am pretty happy with that.
It is Olivers 3rd birthday next week so I am trying to organise a party for him but I am feeling very unorganised - so much to do so little time. Normally we just do the family party thing but this time he is having a few friends over so it will be interesting having 10 little people tearing about the place - scary!!
best run
BBL to say hi
Jem

Hello gorgeous July Mums!
I'm sneaking on whilst there's a moment of peace in this house just to say a quick hi to you all - it's been a long week or so, I've had BB withdrawal!
Anyway, some baby stats from me:
Name: Liam Patrick Close
DOB: 23/7/07
Weighed: 3490g or 7lb 11 (aka my convenience store kid!)
Head Circ: 35.5
Length: 49 cm
Looks: gorgeous
Parents: unbiased...and a wee bit tired
Emergency C/S, after failing to dilate in any shape or form after 16 hours or so of regular contractions, meconium in the waters when they were broken, then Foetal Distress after they gave me an epidural meant that he had to come out of the sunroof. Bit of a pity, but at the end of the day, just really glad he's healthy & here.
Anyway, the call for the milk bar is about to start, so better get a move on - talk to you all soon.

Hi everyone!
Thought I would quickly stick my head in while my little man is sleeping!
Name: Oscar Edward
DOB: 27 July 2007
Baby #: 1
Time: 4.48pm
Weight: 7pd 11oz
Length: 50cm

I am so in love with my little man! We came home from hospital Monday and had a really terrible night... he wouldn't settle and DH and I were so tired and frustrated as we didn't know what our poor little man wanted!! At 4am I ended up on the couch with him sleeping in my arms until 8am. We had a good day yesterday and last night Oscar was amazing... he fed at 8pm, 11pm, 3am and 7am. He did wake up at 4.30am but DH got up with him and settled him! So this Mummy is feeling a million dollars today!
Will pop back in soon when I have a little more time... take care everyone!
-
morning everyone!
looks like i am going to have anotherday with a fully awake baby that just wants to be held!! luckily she did fall asleep last night at 5.30pm then slept til 8 where she had a bath, feed and back to sleep until 1am and then fed every 3 hrs until 6am and hasnt gone back to sleep since!! i keep offering milk, which she takes, falls asleep, does a poo so i unfortunately need to change her and then she wakes again!! So back to holding and feeding and we will see what happens.
Jem - I havent needed to do the co-sleeping since that first night I gave it a go. She is doing pretty well at night now that she is so awake during the day!
Welcom to Jan, Nicky and Danielle!! Cant wait to go on this wonderful journey with you all..

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around in a while, there just seems like so much to do witha newborn! i don't know how those of you who have more than one do it! Super women!
Seb is doing much better - we have started daktarin (for me on my nipples) and nilstat for him for his thrush. He was so unbelievably unsettled with the thrush, he would just scream with every feed. But we are slowly but surely getting things under control in this aspect.
We got weighed atthe GP on Friday, and the porker has put on over 600g since coming home (he now has a double chin!! so cute!!), so I don't think there is any problem with my milk! The good news for me is that I'm loosing the weight too, and let me tell you, I have a fair bit to loose so any loss is a good loss for me!
Congratultions to all the new July mummies - there are so many of us, it's so hard to catch up on everything! Lots of labour vibes to the July mummies still to pop.
Hope everyone is well, and getting some decent sleep. I got a 5 hour break last night and I feel like a new woman!!
-
I gt a 4hour block of sleep last night & feel tremendous today!!!!!
Got some cracking on my nipples but other than that all is cool, except little man just woke for boob, so gotta go!!!!!
-
I thought I had so many clothes, but the way Maddison is puking, I am going through them like nothing else! I'm finding she's not settling very well now when I put her to bed, I usually end up topping her up and she'll fall asleep or she falls asleep in my arms - I know this isnt good! And then as soon as I lay her in her bed flat - she vomits! Doesnt matter that she's had a massive burb either!
Anyway I will get to personals at some stage, juggling 3 kids isnt an issue - Yet! but I am trying to play with the boys a fair bit atm - I am so over spiderman Memory - lol!
-
I have the MCHN popping in tomorrow so I am hoping she will seigh Zy, he has 2 chins now too!
About to head out for a walk to pick up Maddy from school!!!
-
Hi all July Mummas.
Here is the link to the much awaited photos of Kaetlyn.
Enjoy.
Hopefully will have more time tomorrow to catch up!!!
xoxo

Hi everyone and welcome to all of the new July mummys!!!
I don't think I could successfully do personals, I think I would miss too many of you out! Great to see you in here Dani and Nicky! I am dreading the day DH goes back to work, our boys are still being little rascals and pushing the boundarys, here is hoping that once it is just the boys and I at home that they will settle down but time will tell.
I just realised I didn't post details Of Angus' birth, so I will. He is doing amazing as well. He went from 9.30 through to 6am this morning, I have no idea what I am doing, but I am not changing anything while this works!!! I am actually up to the 3yo and 1 yo more than the new born!!
