Lulu - yay for Isabelle - can you get her to come over and talk to my Isabelle please!! We are a star form about 6 at night until 8 in the morning - feeding well, burping, playing and sleeping for anywhere from 4 -6 hours. DUring the day is a different story - we havent slept for more than 45 mintues at a stretch for the last 4 days. Thanks for the tip - I think Ive been letting her cry for too long and by then shes all worked up. Will see how we go. 16kgs???!! I was impressed with my 13!! Hope you are eating well too though although I can talk - its hard to fit in food around everything else that has to be done!

Kelly - Hope you are going ok today with DH back at work and I hear you on the new life. For the first week or so I was really down - I felt like I was just a feeding machine and I couldnt even enjoy it because of my nipple pain. Feeling pretty housebound with Al back at work too - cant wait to start driving again. Anyway hope you are ok - we are all making these adjustments to being full time mums - its huge isnt it! Man they make it worthwhile though - i was talking to Izzy today telling her she had to go back to sleep and called her Missy moo in a weird high voice and I swear she smiled and gave a little laugh because when i did it again she did the same thing! Makes all the pain and frustration just fade away!

Hi to everyone else!! Hope you are all ok - pretty quiet in here!

As I mentioned having some issues with day time sleeping - not sure what to do other than trying to settle her when she cries. Funny how she gets it at night - although she is obviously exhausted by then. A friend is giving me the name of a sleeping and feeding consultant who comes to your home who is apparantly fabulous - so will keep that up my sleeve if it doesnt get any better.
Anyway ladies - hope you are all well!! Oh my gosh i think shes actually asleep so Id better go do what i can while i can!
Talk soon!
