[Laranna]

Yay Josh stayed asleep when I put him down and slept until 3am when he woke for a feed, and he stayed asleep again when I put him down after that feed and woke just after 7am for another feed. Put him down about 8 and he's still sleeping! Now I've probably jinxed it, he'll wake up. I went back to sleep myself until 9:30 so squeezed in some breakfast. I might try my luck for a shower before he wakes up hungry

Wow you girls have been busy!

Laranna sounds like you ended up with abetter night than you had hoped! Hope you managed to get that shower. thats the one thing i find so hard with two little ones home all day! Most times i have to wait til DH is home and awake!

Blanche i twould be gret if they could just tell us where it hurts hey! Hope you have some improvement over the next couple of days.

Jodi 10hrs please let me have that! My others were good sleepers by 6wks so i am praying that we have turned a corner and get regular good nights with Molly now Then all i need is Mitchie to get better and sleep through and i will be right!

Beckstar wow i hope bubs poohs soon! That is surely gonna be an explosion and a half Hope your 6 wk checkup goes well. I am supposed to go for mine on Wed but AF has shown her ugly head so i am going to change my appoint to next week.

Well we have had two good nights in a row here with Molly, first night was 8 & 1/2hrs from 9pm til 5:30am and last night was 7 & 1/2 hrs from 11pm til 6:30am. So i am hoping as we are now at 6wks (where did that go) today maybe we will settle into a good routine like the others did at this age! But poor Mitchie's asthma is playing up so he is pretty restless at night so even though Molly is doing great I am still not getting heaps of sleep plus he now has conjunctivitis (almost over it I hope) but the stuff is so contagous (bad sp) that i now have it and am super paranoid i am going to pass it onto Molly! I was soo careful when cleaning Mitchies and DD's eyes and i still ended up with it. So i am praying that Molly doesnt get it!
Anyway other than that all is good here, except that AF has decided to show up iso hate her! Thinking about getting the mirenna (sp?) put in and praying that it takes AF away or at least minimises her!
ANywya i am off to see if i can rest these poor eyes for a bit, if Mitchie lets me.

Have a great day (whats left of it)

kat - got AF today too It sucks being one of the unlucky ones to get AF while exclusively b/f.
I hope Mitchie's asthma doesn't get too bad. I have asthma myself, so know what he's going through.

Sounds like you girls had good nights in the end, which is great!

Just this morning Emily seems to have grown up heaps. She was 'talking' to me this morning and was generally happy being awake watching her big sister dance around the lounge room. She even giggled a little at the tv!! It was very cute.
Both girls are asleep now. I really should be having a nap myself. But I know as soon as I put my head down, Emily will wake for a feed.

Managed to get a shower in, so nice to have a hot steamy shower

Bugger on getting AF Kat & Jodi....my lochia only completely finished last week so i hope AF stays away for awhile for me.

I really need to cut DS's fingernails because it's one of the reasons he keeps waking himself him - he scratches himself. Even if I wrap him tight he always gets an arm out. It's tricky to do do so might have to get him to sleep first and then cut them.

Jodi thats sooo cute that Emily is giggling! Molly has big smiles and talks but no giggles as yet. Can't wait for them.

Laranna yay on getting your shower! Yep I have found its much easier to do thier nails when they are sleeping.

Regarding AF i was soooo peeved as i only just finished my lochia (ha thanks Laranna after 7 kids i never new it had a specific name!) 3 dys prior to AF arriving! It was the same with Mitchie too! Yet with my second and third babies i never had AF whilst BF!So go figure! I was hoping to not get her this time either oh well the luck of the dice hey!

Best get back to it all suppose!

[Laranna]

Blanche - I agree it would be so much easier if they could talk already.

The last couple of days Josh has started cooing and aahing (when he's not crying!) and I've had a couple of smiles. He also sticks his tongue out alot and it's really long! So far he is unsettled shortly after feeds and then he seems more content once he has farted/pooped.

He is still squirming and fussing at the breast along with making grunting and sighing noises...all happens about 5-10 minutes into the feed. Have been switching sides several times and burping in between but he still does it. Pushing through it, hopefully he will settle down soon.

Jodi- Wow at Emily giggling, how cute.
Amelie has only just started smiling on Sunday gave the first one to her Dad(of course) when I am the one with her all day and during the night. But I have had my share this morning.
Amelie has now gone back to how she was a few weeks ago, very sleepy she cant stay awake hardley at all during the day and she is not feeding as much still as regular but not taking as much milk and then sometimes wakes up an hour after a feed for more. Very frustrating.
