Emma - hope the cot sleep went well last night. Brock doesn't exactly like tummy time either. He always chucks so I put him on a towel. I have to force his tummy time as he has a flat spot on the back of his head and my MCHN said the best way to try and fix it was to give him more tummy time and sleep him during the day on his tummy. I have to sit there and watch him while he sleeps though so I don't get much done around the house when I do it. Sometimes I have to watch him cry himself to sleep. It's not nice.
Ainsley - no he hasn't rolled again. He almost did though. I got so excited and then it didn't happen. You are lucky - I've had 3 AF's since giving birth. One at 6 weeks then another one about 10 days later cos I'd started a OCP that didn't agree with me and when I went off it I got another AF even though I'd just had one, then I had another one when I went off the next pill I tried but it was around 4 weeks later. I was so paranoid I was going to be pregnant with all that switching around (and we had not been careful like we should have been). The last one was really light so I was paranoid I was pregnant again but a couple of tests say no so all is well. Regarding the vag question - I don't know about more muscular but certainly tighter. I didn't expect that at all. I put it down to the stitches but I don't know if that's what has caused it.
Does anyone else find themselves comparing their bubs to other bubs at the same age for developmental milestones? I know they are all different but I can't help but do it. I went to my first mums group yesterday and was watching the other bubs and noticed that one of them was really interested in toys and was grabbing them. Brock doesn't do that. He loves watching mobiles and has one toy that he will touch if its sitting on him but that's about it. His head is still a little wonky. He has great strength in his legs and can push himself half off the towel when he's having tummy time. He just loves to sit and smiles and loves his Leap Tad toy. He smiles when it sings to him.
We are off to the Melb show this weekend. Last weekend we ended up going to Ballarat and Geelong for the day. It was a great family day out. We have my DstepD from tonight until Sunday week as its school holidays. Do you think I could get away with taking her to my next mum's group? It's a new mums group so it was all just mums and bubs. I might try to get her great grandma to look after her.
