Celsie- it is so much easier when they start to get themselves into a routine...I am so lucky she has started to sleep through but i think its because he bloody big brother wont let her sleep through the day lol....It has been a rough begining though she had a terrible cold and she couldnt breathe while she was asleep..i could actually hear her stop...it was so scary. Then she would throw up just about every feed because she had so much crap in her nose and throat she couldnt bring it up when she coughed and it made her gag till she was sick...so i didnt get much sleep even if she was i wasnt lol.
teepee2- I just noticed that our little girls are exactly 1 week apart...thats cool!
Ashlyn is a beautiful girl thank you she is such a sweet natured thing so placid and she is just starting to smile properly...and its so adorable...it is kinda crooked like she has had a stroke lol (not the best description) but one side of her mouth goes up and the other down its so cute.
Mikayla is gorgeous im sorry to hear the troubles you have been having i hope you get something sorted..there is nothing worse than your child being unwell or having issues you cant help them with.
Mumoflewis- I am very lucky to have any pattern with a 3 year old running around yelling and carrying on all day lol but you gotta think Lewis is a bit younger than Ashlyn so maybe he will kick into gear soon because she was still up atleast twice through the night up until she was around 6-7 weeks then all of a sudden she just didnt wake up lol...so touchwood he starts letting you get some sleep soon.
Rylans mum - Yes Lewis is still pretty young to sleep through I know, and I'm sure it will come soon enough. I don't mind the 6am feed at all as it is daylight and the day is beginning, but that 4am one kills me! I've never been a morning person!I think it makes such a difference to my day on whether he even sleeps well during the night as I really like to get out and do something every day, even if it's just a quick walk. It makes me feel more human!
M.J - I ended up having a c/s too after being induced. I found that the recovery was quite hard as you don't get much sleep and rest. It took me a good 3 weeks to feel normal! Mind you it's great when you do feel well again isn't it. You then forget all about it.
I went to my mothers group today for the first time. It made me realise how much I've learnt from this website over the months and how lucky we all are to have this great support network.at our fingertips.
How's everyone's weight? I'm just wondering because I lost 8 kilos after the birth which was obviously all the baby and fluid. But I have been eating really well the last 4 weeks and have stopped eating the crap I was eating towards the end of pregnancy (chocolate mainly!) and I'm out walking most days, but I just haven't lost anymore after the initial loss. I still have 8 kilos to go which I know will take months but I'm sick of not fitting into anything apart form trackies and leggings! I'm dying to wear jeans again but am determined not to buy a size bigger or I may never get back into my old ones!!
So much has been said since I was last on last millenium so thought I'd take the rare opportunity just to say hi rather than read everything - coz by the time I'd finish reading it'd be time to attend to one of the girls! (can hear one already!!) and I wouldn't have even said hello.........so,
...hello!!!!!!
I hope you are all doing fab and welcome to the new girls!
I'm missing you all, missing the chats and stories that make me feel like a normal mummy raising a toddler and a newborn................and there goes the other one!
DD#2 is certainly chunking it on now!! Her stats are approx...
Born 14/06/07 (39wks)
Weight 3.730kg (8lb4oz)
Length 51cm
Head circ 36cm
Last check 16/08/07 (9wks old)
Weight 5.4kg
Length 61cm
Head circ.....forgot!
So can't really say that she is wasting away!! LOL!!
Have really been aware of the growth spurt times coz she will be completely feral and appear hungry 24/7 and not sleep at all during the day. Actually, have an inkling that there might be another spurt happening because consistently for the past day or so she will wake an hour after falling asleep, grizzle and cry a bit then sleep again. So did an experiment today: I had been leaving her to resettle herself but today she didn't seem like she was going to so I thought I'd try a feed and she took a full one no worries!!!
Does anyone's 'let down' hurt?? This is going to sound completely loopy but seconds before I have let down, which hurts this time - never noticed it with first DD.........but seconds before I get really happy!! Like really happy!! Yes. I am weird. But I know that I am about to have let down and so prepare myself!! LOL!! Kooky me huh?!
And Mumoflewis - am hearing you about not wanting to buy bigger sizes!!! Had a tear the other day when we were just going to get out the house for five minutes as a family...........all my pre-pg clothes are those lovely flattering things that are shapely etc. very bad for showing off all lumps and bumps post-pg!! So am living in the same handful of tops and holey jeans and trakky daks.....am looking into getting to the gym but am worried about affecting my bm etc...............anyone have any thoughts on this?? Never been a gym person but am really determined to get myself into shape this time. After DD#1 I hid behind the, "I'm going to have more children soon so there's not much point working too hard on my bod just for it to be re-mooshed!!" Coz as far as things go, there ain't going to be any other munchkins popping out of me!!!!!! (not closing door entirely but it is barely open a hair width!! LOL!!)
Ok.
So that was my 5 minutes of me time, must go attend to DD#1 now.......hehe!!
I really hope that I can keep up with all you lovlies and hopefully my 'bbl' won't be six weeks away!!
Take care all!! Mwa!!!
Oh and we bought a dishwasher - wooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo!!!
