Marlea: Good job, 11.30pm-5am is fantastic and to go back to sleep after that again!! I hope Kaitlyn keeps it up for you. I've heard of putting gripe water in the bottle, I gave Jayden gripe water mixed with water once and it seemed to work, but he doesn't really have a huge problem with wind so we don't use it now.

Sheree: How was your day with the other antenatal mums? How often do you come to Bundaberg? We should meet up for a coffee or lunch, I'll hold lil Lachie for ya haha. When are you going to Mackay?

Bugger SIL #1 is here......finish this off later

Kim ~ Sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday. And the more the merrier re your invite! What a difficult decision to make with your corella. Big and all the best with it. You’re definitely not being dumb at all.

Bec ~ Hi how you going sweet?

Shazz ~ It would definitely be strange to hold a newborn again that’s for sure. I was rocking Em today and thought ‘Gee you’re getting heavy mate!’ They grow so fast!!

Sheree ~ Are you getting notifications now hun? I hope you get more stretches of 7 hour sleep!!!

Vic ~ Ouchie at the 3 separate needles. Sounds like a one person on each side jabbing is a better way to do it. Glad to hear that he went well though. And OMG at almost being 4. People say time flies when you have kids but until you’re holding those precious bundles in your arms you really don’t get it do you.

Marlea ~ Welcome to our Babies born in May!! I’m sure you’ll love it here. I really have no more advice about the crying. The other girls suggestions were great though. Glad to hear that you had a good night. My mum suggested putting gripe water in Em’s bottle when he had wind also. I definitely back the recommendation of Pinky’s book. Books and the internet are good but hands on stuff is great as well. Maybe try the written info first and if that doesn’t help look for a course. And of course we are always here for you! Also we never do a night change – the midwives said that they are fine overnight unless they’ve done a poo.

Tania ~ I’ve got a friend who’s DH was exactly the same as yours. She come over to my place one night and ½ an hour later he rocked up with their little boy because be couldn’t calm him down. In the end it took my friend going back to work at night for DH to finally learn. I suggest that you express and go out for the day. Turn your phone off and try not to think of it. Sounds drastic LOL but from the sounds of it he will just keep handing Jayden back. And you’re not doing it for you – you’re doing it so Jayden can bond properly with his father. Any way I’ll stop rambling LOL… probably not making much sense any way . Bonds is great isn’t it – I wish I had the bonds PJ’s they are so cute!! Notifications are the emails you get saying someone has replied to the thread. LOL @ the attempt to sleep in the middle of the bed. I still sleep on my side of the bed too rofl! LOL @ SIL #1 being there…. Everytime I see SIL # in your posts I have to laugh… I don’t even have one SIL rofl!!! Actually I kind of do but I don’t classify DP’s family as IL’s yet rofl!!

I was so tired and grumpy yesterday and then today Emerson decided that screaming non-stop was his favourite activity for some reason. I think he may be constipated again. I’m not sure what causes it though – his feeds haven’t changed at all. I’m really excited because I am arranging for Em to go to swimming lessons next school term. I am so excited. He will be a month early but he loves the water and its going to be so much fun. And I’m also booking him into Kindergym as well. Its every Wednesday and that will be good as well even though he will be a tad too young. He is very interested in whats around him though and it will be good stimulation that way. And there is song time at the end and he LOVES songs!! Oh well I best get going. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
