Hi everyone sorry i been a bit slack over the last 2 days.
Will come in after dinner to do personals
Molly is doing really well, we have discovered that it doesnt matter what time we have our last feed at night, be at 8, 9, 10 or even 11 orv 12am our wake up time is always 5am! So i now give her her last feed aroun 8:30 - 9pm and then get a good nights sleep. Even Mitchie is sleeping through again now that his asthma is under control again! So i am finding it all much easier.
Ishall be back after dinner to post personals
Chat more then
kat - that's great that you are in a routine now with Molly. Good news that Mitchie asthma didn't get too bad. I know what it's like to asthma in winter, it's awful.
Had a cruisy day today with Nina at daycare. Emily slept most of today. She's still awake, but it sounds like she's overtired. DH is trying to settle her. Probably won't take long and she'll be in bed.
I can't remember what was said in the last thread so I'll go check that out.
We had our 6 week checks yesterday and everything is great exept Amelie's vision she is apparently taking a long time to focus but they say it should have corrected itself by 3 months (fingers crossed).
I feel a bit sad that I wont see my ob again for a few years after they bring your baby into the world and you have seen them so much over 9months. Is this weird or does anyone else feel like this?
We had a bad night last night Amelie threw up her entire feed at 6:45pm and then was hungry again so she wouldnt sleep. I was so saturated with vomit and couldnt do anything about it until I refed her as I was by myself and she was screaming. She then only took a little bit so I put her down and she screamed( i think she had pains) then she had some more and still wouldnt settle it was after 8pm by this time and DH called and I was a mess.
He called his Mum to come give me a hand. Amelie settled down wasnt crying but certainly not asleep
and I got some sleep while she sat up, which was great just to know that if she got so upset again I wasnt alone. She stayed until 11pm and then Amelie slept till 3:30am which was beautiful I woke at 2am and wondered if I hadnt heard her. Wow how hard it is to be a new Mum on your own. DH will be away for four nights next week and he has told them he cant do anymore and they understand ( thank god).
Sorry about the long me post just needed to share.
kristale - you're doing a great job while dh is away. That was good that your mil could come around last night to help out.
How much does Amelie weigh now? Our app is next week for Emily's needles and my post natal check up.
Kristale you're doing a super job. I totally understand how hard it is when DH aren't home for the nights. My DH is a police man so regulary does 12-15hr night shifts few nights in a row every week.
I've had several nights already where I been kneeling next to 15mo DS bed trying to settle him with one hand whilst BF Macey in the other arm just wishing that DH would miracously walk hru to door to rescue me! Ha, hasn't happened yet but no harm in dreaming at the time.
well I definiely jinxed myself yest boasting how both kids slept thru the night before as I was back to getting up tot he 2 of them last night. was nice while it lasted anyway.
Not much else to report. had better attack the ironing while both kids are snoozing.
