OMG you girls can talk up a storm....so much to catch up on, well too much to catch up on actually.
Phoebe is gradually getting back to her old self...Like some of you have mentioned, I too now believe that it was just a growth spurt. I tell you what I feel like a jersy cow after the past week. I have had such a huge boost to my milk supply that the other morning I actually leaked, which hasn't happened in such a long time. I haven't had to worry about boob pads for at least 2 months and the past few days I have made sure I have put them in when I have gone out, just in case. She has gone from sleeping through the night to waking 3 times a night, now it is down to 1, so hoping it gets back to normal soon. It has been such a shock to the system having to get up during the night to feed, as I haven't had to do it since she was 4 weeks old. I tell you what having broken sleep is just not for me, as I guess it is for all of us. I feel like sh*t in the morning. I shouldn't complain as overall I have had it pretty good with little miss. I feel a bit guilty complaining as some of you have had it really tough with sleep and feeding issues, so I should thank my lucky stars.
Leanne ~ aren't men such pains in the *ss, and DH making you feel uncomfortable, now that is a typical male act. I guess it was probably a good thing that he was so honest about the pics as you don't want to spend that sort of money on photos you aren't completely happy with. Gee, professional pics are so expensive??
Never ~ Talking about egg donation, I've got a friend who did that. One successful pregnancy with the arrival of a little girl. I think she found it quite rewarding, to give the gift of a child. She saw herself as fortunate to have had 2 beautiful, healthy children (she later had another 2) and wanted to do something very special for a childless couple.
Angelique ~ I loved your answer to 'the best thing about having kids', the way that Katerina looks at you, like you are the best thing in the world...that's because to her you are. Such a huge responsibility to be a mum, but it is those little things that make it worthwhile, keep us all grounded and make our hearts melt. How are the nights going for you and Katerina? I know that at around 4 months, babies like routine and their days to be predictable so as she approaches that age, here's hoping that it all comes together for you both.
Kellee ~ So have you had a few days of rest or slowed down at least to catch your breath...such a busy bee, big plans for the weekend???
Nat ~ Have you started Em at Kindergym?? If so how is he going? I'm hoping to get Samuel started soon. I need to get him involved a bit more with other kids, he starts kindy in 14 months *sigh*, so he needs to be out socalising a bit more. Are you going to the Show on the weekend? I am so looking forward to it, Samuel should be big enough to go on a few of the kiddies rides.
Sorry to those I have missed, this post has turned out to be a big one for me.
Take Care X
