Rachel - I don't think 5 days matters too much with the vaccinations. I don't think I ever got Jas' done right on time. Congrats on your remarkably alert baby girl, I am so impressed! I remember being so proud every time Jas passed a milestone, especially if it was early!! I went on roster in her class this week and her teacher said she is such a gorgeous student, always very helpful and really kind to her classmates, I could have burst with pride!
Cass - WTG on Oskars great sleep! If only it stays like that, I will cross my fingers for you. We are still going every 3 hours, sometimes 4, but Nic settles fairly easily during the night, so we don't have to be up too long with him. He always has this great habit of pooing at about 3am, after his feed, then when I change him, he wees all over me, then vomits, then poos again once I have put a clean nappy on him! Lucky he is so cute!!
Karina - no sex here either! Not for lack of want, just never go to bed at the same time as I am just so tired, I usually go to bed early and DH will stay up later. Then, if we do get a chance to have some "mummy and daddy" time together, he usually wakes up! It's like he can sense it. I told Keyt it is his way of ensuring no more babies so he can get all the attention!!
As for us, I have been a bit slack with going to the clinic with Nic. With Jas, I was obsessed with her weight and making sure she was checked out almost weekly by the CHN. I have only seen our CHN once since Nic was born, and a LC once. I know he is gaining weight now, since on the bottle, it is just the reflux and colic issues now, and we have seen the GP for this. The Zantac isn't working anymore, so I am going to the GP again tomorrow to get Losec. Heaps of people have recommended this, so I am hoping it will help. Poor little babe, he is in pain, and I can't do anything to help! He is usually awake most of the day, and screaming (not just crying, but screaming!), so Keyt takes him in the shower and he settles straight away, and I get time to cook dinner or make the kids lunches. He is asleep now on the lounge next to me, so cute when he's not screaming.
We picked up our new car today. So exciting! My little car was getting very squishy, and now I have a HUGE 7 seater AWD. I feel like such a mummy! The girls were really happy as they don't have to squash in the back with the car seat and their school bags now. I have been making a real effort this week to be good with my diet. I want to lose another 9kg (5kg to get to my pre pregnancy weight) and the other 4 to get to my goal. I have one pair of jeans that fit, and I don't want to buy any new clothes until I have lost a few more kg's. I say every day that I will go walking, but I don't think walking around the shops counts does it???
