everyone, I am sorry i have been MIA for a while! I have come to the conclusion that i just don't have enough hours in a day! But i have been reading my emails everyday sometimes not until the night time, but i just dont have the timeto get on and reply very often. So please know i am here in spirit if not words LOL!
Blanche I am soo sorry to hear about Jack hun, I hope he is on the mend, nothing worse than wactching your little bubbas struggle
Klee sincere condolances for Mel and you all. I wont pretend to understand the connection or that i even know Mel but i feel for you all at such a horrible time in your lives No words can make it better so all i can say is we are all here.
Laranna that is soo cut ethat J is giggling at your boob Molly tries to laugh but all she manages is a little coughing sound atm!
Kristale yay for getting into a mothers group, its awesome having peole to catch up with who have bubbas at the same age. I had a great group with Mitchie but dont really have a group this time round, just all the lovelies on here!
Jodi how was your day with just you and Em? would have been good to have a bit of one on one time!
Lulu its soo hard some days isnt it! I hope things are starting to settle for you. It could just have been that Issy was maybe getting less attention cause Elena ws needing more after her needles maybe? I know just this last week Mitchie has been wanting my attention whenever he sees i am busy with Molly, sometimes i just have to answer him when he calls my name and thats enough but other times he wants more of my time because he sees Molly getting it! So maybe it could be that too? Having two bubs can take its toll some days.
Beckstar sounds like you have had a very busy hol! I hope it is all slowing down for you.
Ouch on the mastitis too, glad you are recovering quickly from it. I had it with my third bub when she was 7mths and ended up in hos for a week it was that bad and just flared up over night from nothing! It really can hit soo quickly hey!
Hi to everyone else i hope you are all doing well.
Ok so Molly is an absolute gem of a baby! She feeds about 3hrly through the day but after her last feed at night which is anytime from 6:30pm to 9pm, she then sleeps until anywhwere from 6am to 7am. So i am getting a full nights sleep and this has been happening for just over two weeks now touch wood it keeps up.
She doesn't poo everyday eitehr sometimes 3dys sometimes more but she seems fine with it.
I took her to HCN yesterday for her 8wk checkup and she has slowed down in her weight gains but HCN is not concerned and neither am i. She is now 10lb 5oz or 4670gms, she was 3670gms at birth, so 1kg since birth, is that right? She has grown 6cm since birth and is now 57.5cm and h/c is up 3cm to 39cm. So all in all she is doing well.
Gonna have to go now as i am feeding Molly and Mitchie trying to help me type! Will try and get back later to finish my post
Great to hear from you Kat. We understand you're one busy mummy. That's a great weight/length gain for Molly. And what a great little baby you have there at night. It makes a world of difference when you get decent sleep doesn't it. She has the same routine as Emily most nights. Except the last couple of nights, Em is waking at 4am for a feed. I hate that one.
Had Emily's needles today and she did really well. Hardly even cried. Had her weighed & measured, and she's 5.5kg, 60cm long & hc is 40cm. She was 3.65kg & 51cm when she was born. So she's growing very well indeed! I thought she was a little fatty, cause she's soooo heavy.
Emily was quite unsettled yesterday. I got no time whatsoever to do the housework, so dh came home and it looked like a bomb had hit it, and that was without Nina being around So you can imgaine what my house looks like now, after Nina got into it last night and this morning! I've only just got home from the dr's, and I think Em has gone to sleep now, so I'd better go tackle some jobs.
laranna - how'd he go with the needles today? I can totally relate to them pulling off and giggling at the boob! Em has a conversation with mine, while she's supposed to be feeding
Kat - what great gains and how nice it must be to have molly sleeping through.
Jodi - Josh did pretty well with the needles...he screamed for about a minute which can feel like forever! Then I put him on the boob for 15 minutes and he dozed off. He's being a bit unsettled so I'm feeding and cuddling him lots....understand about no time to do anything. I told DP don't expect much today as Josh is likely to be a grumpy bum!
ETA: I nearly forgot to say that Josh had a big sleep last night from 11pm to 4am

ok so after reading Katstribe's post about Molly's great night time sleeps thought I;d try a different approach last night with her feeds.
Macey had last feed at 8:30pm then I put her (&me) to bed and thought I;d wait to see when she'd wake wanting her next one. I have previously been waking here again at 11pm for the last feed but didn't last night. First stir wasn't until 1:30am for her dummy and again at 5am then she woke at 6:30am hungry and ready to chew my exploding boobs off. so if this keeps going it'l mean I;ll be able to start getting to bed at a half reasonable time again which would be awesome.
Don;t mind if I have to do 1 feed in the night but couldn't handle doing 2 which is why I;ve never gone to bed before the last feed at 11pm.
Will try this again tonight and see if it was just a fluke or we are maybe onto something good here I hope
Also not sure if I said but Macey had her 8week needles on Tues and apart from letting out a decent squawk at the time, she recovered form them really well. All other results were good so not back to MHN for another 2months when DS will have is 18mo checkup at the same time.
Think that this 2 under 2 thing must be catching up with me as I;ve only just got over the weekend masititis bout, got my gallstone diagnosis on Wed and have now come down with a sinus cold to boot Am starting to think that I must be damaged goods and am in need of a good trade in for a newer model.
Hope everyone is managing to keep warm. Its blo*dy cold here. we even had snow on Tues here and looks like we are no where near the end of it either. thank god we have central heating when I'm up int he night. bit scared of what our next gas bill might look like though as the heaters been on 24hrs straight for most of the last week.
