well we had our 6 week check up yesterday and all is great! Zali is now 61cm long (7cms longer since birth) and now weighs 5.5kg so the Dr was very happy with this.
I hope you are all going well and that all the poor little sick bubs are getting better.
Mecil congratulations on the weight gain thats great! Yeah i have heard of it and it really works you know.
Abb jess is right vaporisers are great i have always used one and they work wonders. Hope that bub gets better soon.
Jess sorry to hear about your unsettled periods with tihana, i know what its like cody was the same i just remember looking forward to that 3-6 month mark when they grow out of it. I found that infants friend only made cody worse too. Nothing worked with cody he just grew out of it. Good luck and i am thinking of you. Sorry to hear that you have your period well i have not stopped bleeding yet so i hear you. It happened last time with lachlan too i had to go on the pill so it made my period regular. Its like a period but i only stop for one or two days then i bleed again for another week. I don't know hopefully the dr has another answer for me because if i go on the pill it will dry up my milk. The mini pill apparently does not make you regular, no idea.
Sarah sorry to hear about your dodgy check up well i was suppose to go today but had to cancel as i am too busy with kids at my house today. Not in the mood to fight with kids at the doctors today. So abbie is 8 weeks next week so i will just make an appointment for both of us then.
Abbie has been really good with sleeping lately but sometime she just wants to be held at night which i don't mind casue during the day i am so busy i don't get alot of time for just me and her time. She loves spending time under her activity matt!!!!
Abbie is nearly out of her 000 as the arms are getting tooo short for her, 00 seem to be fitting her better lately. Although some 0000 are still fitting her, sizes are so different between brands its not funny.
hi ladies
well we had an unsettled period from 5-9pm last night. Liam wouldnt sleep and wanted to be held/rocked to sleep. Each time we put him down he would wake 2 mins later. Eventually he fell asleep and then woke again at 12.30 for a feed then 4.30. He was awake at 7.30 which was fine as Jordan woke at 6.00 this morning so I was already well and truly up. I didnt feed him till 8am though, I want to keep him as close to 4 hrly during the day as I can.
He also enjoys playing under his play gym. He has a good giggle when he moves something that makes noise.
Well 2 days of no naps seems to have worn Jordan out and he has gone for a sleep today, thankgoodness. We are going out tonight and didnt want him to be a feral. Also gives me a rest as he has been full on for the last 2 days.
Sarah sorry to hear your check up wasnt good. I hope your doc does a more thorough job.
LMK glad to hear Abbies sleeping is pretty good. I also feel as though Liam and I dont spend much 1 on 1 time. It is nice to have a cuddle uninterupted.
Mecil Zali is going great guns on growing, well done to you and the good feeding.
Jess glad you had a sucessful shopping trip, its nice when bubs is calm so you can get everything done without flustering.
Abb hope you and Hamish had a better night last night and got some good rest in.
Well my right boob is still so sore... have tried feeding from it every feed and its not helping the pain.... have been using a heat pack before feeds and cold compress after also massagining it in the shower and while feeding, have been wearing a loose fitting top no bra all day, expressing between feeds. The pain has decresed a little but is still there. No red lumps, no fever or flu symptoms, just very tender like i've been punched hard or something... Maybe i should see a doctor... or any other tips... appart from mastitis anything else it could be???
Also got some donnalix for tiahna's colic and its made her face red... the box says if facial flushing occurs to decrease dosage next time... so not sure if i should take her to see GP or not????
Jordan's at daycare today... i've not had a chance to sleep but its just nice to concentrate on just 1 child. deancey i fully inderstand needing that quiet time... my jordan is a feral all the time... wish he'd go back to having a day sleep...
Better night last night but now i have the dreaded cold and so does dd. Hamish slept from around 11.30 til 3 then took awhile to settle after feed and woke again at 6 and then 8.30. He seems alot better today although just wants to be held all the time. I am aching all over and totally feel like crap really so i am hopeing for a good sleep tonight, i managed to express a bottle so i figure if i feed him around 8 then dp can give him a bottle for his next feed and i can hopefully get a few hours sleep.
Jess you poor thing, not sure what the pain would be from, have you tried feeding with Tiahna in different positions to see if that helps.
deancey i know how frustrating it is when you cant put them down, hamish is like that at the moment, i cant seem to get anything done.
Mecil well done on the weight gain it seems all is going well.
LMK i have not stopped bleeding yet either, i have a couple of days when it is gone and then it comes back again. I have my 6 week check next week so i will ask the doc then as i am sick of it.
Sarah i wouldnt be happy with that dodgy check up either, i was never checked by a doctor before i left hospital and had to ask for them to check Hamish on the day we were discharged as he hadnt been looked at either, but that is another story altogether and i have written to the hospital and my ob surgery complaining.
Well just got back from the GP... Its mastitis and because it hasnt gotten better over the 2 days the GP has given me antibiotics. My muscles are acheing and my head pounding... he said all symptoms of mastitis. although i dont have any red lumps or flu symptoms... Hoping by tomorrow all will be better... its so painful.... have tried everything i could before getting antibiotics but nothing was helping... he said if i didnt get them it could turn into an abcess and need draining...
Tiahna's reaction from the donnalix disappeared within 1/2 hour and she's been sleeping ever since... woke up when i got her out of the car and went straight back to sleep...
My DP is working night shift again would love to express and do like you are abb- would love a nice sleep. Tiahna screamed til 12.30 and then dp got hom at 1 and woke me up then Tiahna was up again at 2 then 4.30 then i had to sset the alarm for a centrelink appointment so was up at 6am getting everything ready...
Abb- hope you and DD get better... this damn cold seems to be hitting a few of us...
LMK- i stopped bleeding fr few days and DP wanted to try DTD and next day i was bleeding again ( probably my fault for not waiting the 6 weeks... ) then it stopped again and again few days later started again??? thought it was my period but seems like its stopping and starting. dodnt know that about the mini pill.. i have to start but i keep forgetting to. certainly dont want to fall pregs just yet...
best be off.. time to sit down and rest while Tiahna is sleeping and jordan is playing quietly... feeling like a nice warm cuppa...
