Kristale - I hope you had a better ngiht with Amelie last night.
Last night was back to normal for us. Two feeds during the night but lots of stirring so that I was having to rock the cradle for hours on and off. Oh well. The 10 hours of the night before was nice for even a night, and good to know she can do it. Hopefully its just around the corner as a permanent thing. I had to get up during last night and express though - she took one side and was sound asleep and nothing I could do would get her on the other side and I was already leaking. I haven't expressed with Ellie yet so nothing was sterilised - figured I'd just get myself more comfortable and then throw the 30mls I was expecting down the drain. Except I got 125mls in 5 minutes!!! That never, ever happened with Iz. It was very depressing throwing that much milk away so I figure I had better get myself organised today and sterilise all the expressing stuff so I can build up a little milk store. It would be nice to think DH and I could go out on our own sometime, or God forbid I go out on my own!!!
Lulu - 125mls is huge! I wish I could express that in one go.
Kristale - you must be excited to have your DH back!
I started on the motilium and I can only assume it is increasing my supply only by the fact that DS is going longer between feeds during the day (ie 3 hours instead of 2). The last couple of nights he has been waking more for feeding too. He goes from 10pm and then wakes about 12:30/1am, then again about 2:30/3am and then again around 6/7am.
Thinking I might venture out to the shops this afternoon. After getting out on our own this week for our checks it felt good to get out of the house.
Woohoo...Joshua was just giggling and laughing for the first time sooo cute! He has been smiling for a couple of weeks now but this is the first time I heard him laugh.
hi ladies, sorry not up to personals its been a very emotional week, i wont go into details cause its very upsetting but if any of you have seen the pregnancy after stillbirth and loss thread this week will understand.
do you think our little ones feel our stress, cause ever since about saturday last week joeys been quite unsettled, he's just starting to settle now, we even managed a 6 hour sleep last night.
jodi thanks for askign, we had another check on tuesday with the MHN and he put on another 500grams in 10 days, so thats pretty good I'm thinking, must be due to last weekends 2 hourly comfort feeds. we have the laughing starting too, except that today it was in to mid air, i was thinking maybe his angel sister was there making him laugh.
anyway sorry for not saying much but i really should be resting as jo jo is asleep, not sure i will be on much for about the next 6 weeks as we have my sister and her family visiting from overseas, so take care everyone and give your little ones an extra special cuddle and kiss from me.
Klee - I am so very sorry about Mel's little Joshua.. Its just so unfair. Losing bubs while pregnant has broken my heart and I just can't imagine how totally destroying it would be to have been able to hold her beautiful son and give wings to all those hopes and dreams, only to have him so cruelly taken from her. Strength and love to you for tomorrow - it will be a very, very tough day. I'm holding my little girls a bit closer today.
It's so cute when they do that isn't it.
