Jess - Sorry you had a rough nite with Jordan... hospitals are the #1 place to get sick. Hope your little man is feeling better today, and waits till he's over 18 before deciding to get his lip pierced again!!
Aadi's dribbling bucketloads ATM as well, and is just loving sucking on his fists. Both of them, at the same time if possible! No teeth showing yet, though. He used to just do it when he was hungry or tired, but now it's all the time. I figure dribbling is just another new skill to add to the list! LOL! Now I add bibs to the ever-growing laundry repertoire... which I'm getting frustrated by all the time. Not because I don't have time, just because there's no space in this poky little apartment. The balcony is so windy everything gets blown into the street, and the loungeroom's been a Chinese laundry for months now. Bring on summer!
I'm getting better at the feed-play-sleep routine as well, and I'm only having to hold Aadi for a short time before he falls asleep and I put him down straight away. Most of the time he's staying asleep, and for a little longer now than before. He usually needs a top-up feed just before sleeping though. Most nights he sleeps from 8pm, 4+4+3 hours, with an hour in between each for feed, burp change, burp again (gotta get every last bubble or it ruins us!), then daytime naps I try for 9.30, but usually it's a short nap around 10.30, another one from around 1-2, and another short nap at around 5pm. But then, every day is different and on Monday he just wanted to feed practically all day. Growth spurt maybe? I was getting so tired of feeding him every hour, and actually had very little milk left at one point (what? me?) that I managed to get Aadi to take a bottle of EBM. First one ever!
Haven't had the needles yet. Next week. And I will be asking for them both to be done at the same time!
Sarah - Oooh I'm just a wee bit jealous of you! Uninterrupted sleep... where did you go??
I'm sure it will be great to take Juliette to SIVF. Everyone will be pleased by such a wonderful achievement. You must be so proud of yourself!
Abb - well done on Hamish's growth! Last time Aadi was weighed he was about 5.5kg and 59cm long, and he's probably more now, but he's still in 000 mostly. How are you coping going back to work? I'm looking into chiros in my area, and will try and book one next week. I need an adjustment too...
Alicia - congrats on the big sleeps! Sounds like Lily is progressing really well, considering she was premie. Well and truly caught up, I would say.
deancey - what, 2 days without posting? Are you ok? LOL! Don't tell me you're still sleeping!
