Thanks all for the congratulations! It is very exciting. Was a complete surprise but a welcome one. He asked my Dad's permission and everything. Must have been so nervous. The ring is stunning and fits perfectly. I feel all weird wearing it, though because I am so scared of losing it. Will keep you updated with the details. We are thinking next February but I'm not sure how long it takes to plan these things!! I guess we will look at the 'where' and then figure out the 'when' based on availability.
Welcome Janie! The more the merrier!
Nice work on the weight gain... my bubs is still in 0000's too, but weighs 3.3kg - didn't gain for a month, but we are getting there!
I wish my bubs would like the sling - he gets upset in them a tries to wriggle out!
I would love to use it at the shops instead of the monster pram...
I have a ring sling in a shiny fabric - maybe i need a different sling, the only problem is it needs to be cool as we live in Singapore... hmmmm
Baby massage - we haven't been 'taught' one, but my bubs likes his moisturiser rub/massage after the bath... took a few goes though.
we bought a babasling and i've tried it a couple of time at home...us awkward but susie is content in it however it hurts my shoulder (I have a bad back anyway). so really think i need something that goes on both shoulders and arounf waist but money...hmm...would really prefer to try things first too
Hi All,
Does anyone else find there is one period in the day when bubs won't sleep between feeds?
I tried what the MCHN said about waking David at 10pm for a feed and then he might sleep longer at night.
We fed at 7pm, 10.30pm then 5am, then 7.30am so not bad. He did wake at 2am but wasn't hungry and wouldn't attach so i patted him and put him back to sleep. Because he had been hard to get to sleep we co-slept, but i wouldn't mind easing him back into his own basinett (although he's nearly the same length so he might not be in there long before his cot).
tiggerlinda I have a close carrier too, do you use it much out shopping, i didn't know if one of those baby bjorn ones would be any good.

tiggerlinda- sorry that your awake time is late at night. ours seems to be during the day either first thing like 8-11 or late afternoon/early evening.
we've been co-sleeping but have been thinking of moving bubs into his own room and cot anyone got any ideas?
have a sleepy bub and mum here!! bed at 1am...up at 15 to 4, down at 5:45, uop at 7:30, then slept on dads chest till 9:30! Susie usually has an awake period in the morning before 10, and then another one late at night!
reading lots of rave reviews on the close carrier!! it looks really quick and easy to use too...just like using a wrap but with pre wrapped! gotta talk to DH!
eta: aww fluffy lime sold out but have found somewhere else with them on special DH said yes!

Sounds like the close carrier might be one to look at. The idea of back support is a bonus too... I have change table back!
We have times during the day when Edi doesn't sleep - like most of yesterday... yawn.
It is usually from 7am to Midday-ish... ahhh sometimes I might get an hour or so here or there, but he really fights it... He will do an afternoon sleep which is good, I get some things done.
Oh no MrsC_Aussie, not a good night for you, I hope you get some nap time today
tiggerlinda - not good that your awake time is at night - yawn.
well have ordered and paid for mine...$137.50 including postage from cloth my bot should arrive in the next couple of days!
took Susie back to chiro today. her sacrum had gone slightly forward so needed minor adjustment so hopefully thats wat was causing my grizzly bub and she'll feel better soon.
Linda i hear ya on the tough night.
I had 2 crying kids from 3pm to 9pm, 1 would stop the other would start.
Then they both decided to cry at the same time for over an hour. Then Maddi decided to wake up at 5am & wouldn't go back down.
Thank goodness for Dora DVD's lol
