We didn't get a full night sleep, but it wasn't too bad. Jayden went to sleep at about 11pm then woke at 4am then 5.30am, after that one I left him in bed with me as his poor lil hands were sooo cold!! Then DP woke us up when he got home at 7.30am (GRRR).
Bec: 'OUCH' it sounds painful! Or at least very uncoomfortable. I hope you are feeling better soon!! Mason is huge!! But oh so cute!! Your obviously doing a great job with BF now. I read something about that US magazine, I don't think it was that bad all you can see is skin you can't see a nipple. Those 5000 ppl obviously had nothing better to do with there time! I've heard a bit about Aldi nappies maybe I'll give them a go. Jayden had 1 newborn babylove not long ago as a friend had spares from her daughter, they seemed fine but getting too small for him so I didn't take the rest and I still haven't got the snugglers off her but the ones I tried were fine for day but haven't tried them at night.
Nat: When I first moved otu with DP (OMG 9years ago) I used to love just paying the bills cause I was spending money LOL how sad!! Despite having the bed to myself, I always sleep on my side!! I try to sleep in the middle but I always end up on my side again, force of habit I guess LOL. I was rapt about his weight gain, although I have been substituting 1 bottle at night it has given me confidence again that I am feeding him enough.....def the last thing I needed was SIL #3 making a b**chy comment like that. Hope you have fun in the city today, and Em will love his 1st train ride!!
Kim: I have no excuse for not going outside, its beautiful weather here in Bundaberg....I think its just laziness LOL I haven't used sunscreen on Jayden yet so I can't help, but my niece (3yo) has sensitive skin so I'll find out what SIL #4 uses on her.
Shazz: What an understanding boss you have, mine would be the same I think and I live only 5mins away from work. Taking the pump with you sounds like a good idea.
Kim: How cute that Darcy talks to herself and is happy to do that for a while before you having to get up!! LOL @ someone switching babies...How good is it when they finally start sleeping regulary. Jayden still changes his sleep times around a little bit, just to keep me on my toes I think haha but he is generally a good sleeper.
Mummy: Sounds like AF is confused!! Have you been to the Dr's about it? Hope everything is ok. Glad Samuel is getting better and Phoebe's sleeves are dryer haha.
Sheree: Jayden had gained 210grams in a week making him 4.85kgs (I really thought he'd hit the 5kg mark). Alison said he could be fussing because of something I have eaten or him still getting over his needles, so hopefully he is going to settle down soon. And of course as usual he fed perfectly while we were there!! Alison told me to continue with compressions and expressing so I can replace formula with EBM once I have enough but was happy for me to give him 1 FF a day to give me a break for now. She also gave me some info on Domperidone to increase my milk supply which I need a script for and also Fenugreek and Blessed thistle which are natrural. So I'll give it a few days to see how the expressing goes and if that will increase it without me getting anything else. How are you and Lachie going? Have fun today with the antenatal ladies. We have also gone to the 4kg-8kg huggies, thye were too big att first but they fit him good now, the tabs go to just either side of pooh and eeyore haha. If Lachie's not leaking in there keep them as he will probably grow out of the NB ones before you finish the pack. Jayden could maybe fit into NB still but not worth buying them now.
Angelique: I do that with Jayden too(put him in bed with me) but he had his cradle right next to my bed but I still hate getting up when its cold haha. I hope Katerina's colic gets better, good luck at the Chiro.
YAY Nat for doing the excerise video....I know I have one somewhere haha
Oh Alison also said DP's family are around too often and I really need at least 3 days at home with NO visitors....I said that to SIL #1 so we'll see how that goes LOL. So our aim today is a quiet one at home and maybe a walk to the post office later to post photo albums and DVD of Jayden to my friends and family in Melb.
