Hi everyone,
its been bus in here so will try and remember everything...

I drink no alcohol at all, dont really see the point, planning on going out son and having a sitter, have expressed enough milk to cover when i am out plus one extra feed as i will express after drinking (if i have any) and chuck it out...
Drink about 2 cups of tea on the morning... did the same in pg.

Got my 4 week appoint tomorrow (was meant to be last week) looking forward to having Molly Jane weighed, bet she is at least 5kg!
Mothers group starts next tuesday - looking forward to that

Molly Jane's wind has settled, i gave her 5mls cooled boiled water before each feed, i then cut it down to 2.5 mls and now give her nothing or maybe on dose a day, she is not pooing as much but is farting more freely now and looks less distressed - i would definatly be using boiled water again.

We have a baby sense monitor - it is the best thing that i have bought, it doesnt have a temp sensor but we have a grobag egg which is better and it doesnt have a sound monitor either but we just bought a cheap one for when we need to use it.
I can tell you that the baby sense monitor fantastic and sooooooo good to reasure you that everything is OK. We didnt get the angelcare as we had heard that ceiling fans can trick it and we use our seiling fans alot. this is not fooled by anything!
Like Bron, if Molly Jane has been quiet for a while or i am worries, all i do is check that the light is flashing and i dont go near her, so she is not disturbed. Honestly we are so happy with it, forgotten a couple of times to switch it off and the alarm is nice and loud, but not too loud to be scary.

Getting real smiles here too and also she is turning to our voices, she has een looking for me for a while, but she now looks around to find her daddy too.

Trina, sorry, i feel so awful that i gushed about my friend arriving, I think that it is sad that people have not been to visit you. If you were closer i would be over, and we ould have a great big whinge session and tell each other how cute our girls are!!!
I too feel a bit isolated, DH is working so much (although at least he comes home at night and is not travelling) that he is only home for maybe 1/2 to 1 hour before Molly jane goes to bed and then he is often back to work. Most of my friends have not been to visit, some of my closest friends too, they only live 5min drive away too.

Last 2 previous weeks were really emotional, not over Molly Jane at all which was good, in fact she helped, so i would go and pick her up when i was down. hard to explain what i was feeling, sad but not for a reason. much better this week, but only one day lest with Biz and then it is back to reality.

Nappy changing - i change in between feeds as she falls asleep after the first side. I also try and change her every 2 hours if she is awake and not demanding a feed.
I have a bit of a thing about wet nappies, probably the nurse in me.
Couple of people have said not to change her over night as it will wake her too much, but i have to to get her to have a a full feed and also i cant bare not too. The BBH are great though and combined with a liner (i use flushables) she is rarely damp on her skin (but can be a bit smell if it have been a while - like when she sleeps for 5-6hrs straight)
She she sleeps 5-6 hours i really just want to change her bum, i cant stand knowing that she is wet.
I read somewhere that when they are newborn they will wee approx every 20 mins, that time will stretch, but yeah, i dont like it at all.

i think that is it. hope eveyone is good
