Tannis ~ Welcome to BB, Congratulations on the birth of Jayden. A little bit of info on me, I will be hitting the dirty 30's in a couple of days and my DH hitting the naughty 40's later this year....he says that we are going to be a dirty and naughty pair lol. We have 2children Samuel (almost 3) and Phoebe (almost 3 months) both born by C-Section, We been married for 5 years and together for 9. I am a keen scrapbooker and love being a SAHM. Looking forward to getting to know you better...
Scrappy ~ hope your day is better tomorrow, we all have bad days...it goes with the territory. I hope things start to improve with the IL's.
Lea ~ hope the daytime sleeping continues....I have the odd day that Phoebe doesn't sleep very well (mmmm like today), it can be very frustrating at times....we all need a break and have some me time.
Jodie ~ Phoebe isn't a real fan of the evenings either, from about 4pm-8pm she is quite unsettled, but eventually wears herself out and goes to sleep. Good to here that the settling techniques seem to be working. I swaddle Phoebe still, I find it does help quite a bit with self settling, but not always. If I don't swaddle/wrap her, any movement that she makes with her arms, wakes her.
Kellee ~ LOL @ you officially dislike me, I had my fair share of restless, sleep deprived nights with Samuel so it makes for a pleasant change with Phoebe. Phoebe has days where she feeds 2-3 hourly, usually towards the end of the day. It's as if she is trying to get as much into her as possible so she can sleep all night, which isn't a bad thing, it just makes it hard because it is right around the time (4pm-8pm) when I am trying to organise tea, having tea and putting Samuel to bed. Some days I need to clone myself just to get everything done between those times. Phoebe gets such a big feed in the morning as she has gone so long without a feed and I get chance to fill right up, and she is so happy and content after that feed, but of course I don't get to fill up like that again during the day and sometimes she wants more, but there just isn't any there. I have thought about giving her a formula feed at the end of the day, just to fill her right up, but I am in two minds about going ahead or not. I prefer to exclusively BF her until she is on solids at least.
Phoebe didn't sleep all that well today and I just sat there on the lounge most of the day (well that's what it felt like) just feeding and cuddling her to sleep. My house looked like a bomb had hit it and I reckon I could have just about cried. DH got home from work early and could see that I was a little frustrated and so he did a quick tidy up for me....he is such a gem, just doing that little bit for me, made such a difference and improved my mood dramatically LOL.
