Hello!!

Well, I definitely spoke too soon in my last post - Luke's sleeping has taken a terrible turn over the last three nights!!! What's happening to our little angels??

I think I'll attempt some personals first though....

Tan - Yep, I'm definitely much happier now that we've got Luke's feeding sorted out. I've gone two days without a bf now and although its really sad, we're so much happier for it. I was going to keep up the midnight bf but I'm sick of looking like a freak with one massive boob and one tiny one (especially with summer coming up) - so I've decided it's time to stop completely (although he's still getting one feed of ebm a day). Luke will normally go down for his last nap at about 4.30pm but its a bit all over the place still and his sleeping has gotten worse again, so I have no idea what to do - its definitely the hardest one though, coz if he goes down much earlier he gets tired before his last feed is due and if he goes down later, we have trouble getting him to bed before 9pm!!! Its crazy!! I can't work it all out!! Oh and I've got a Subaru Forester - definitely recommend it - it's fantastic!!! I just love it.

Ashlee - I hope Blake's ear infection sorts itself out pretty quickly - not nice!!! Luke has been terrible the last few nights too - I'm starting to wonder if it's his teeth bothering him too - who knows!! Take care.

Dan - So glad your sisters wedding went well!! As for AF, I've been wondering about that too, now that I've finished bf and all!!!?? I was reading somewhere that its fairly common to start again about 5 months after birth, regardless of feeding?? Who knows, I think everyone is different. One of my friends didn't get it until she completely finished feeding - about 18 months after birth.

Jan - I hope all is going well!! My DH is away at the moment too - just for two nights and I hate it aswell. He's back tomorrow night - I can't wait!!!

Lulu - How the MS going?? I hope its starting to improve for you!

Well, that's about all I have the energy for - big hello's to everyone else though.

Sooo... Luke is waking every two hours or so at night now!! I'm still only feeding him the once at about 2am and just settling the other 4 or 5 times!!! He usually goes straight back to sleep but will wake and hour or two later - its sooo frustrating. I just need some decent sleep!!! Now that he's completely on the bottle, I'm contemplating leaving him with my Mum for a night to get some sleep but DH isn't too keen. He's away again soon, so maybe I'll do it then. Its really taking it out of me. I thought they were supposed to be able to sleep through without a feed by now - Luke is sooo hungry still at 2am - he takes the whole 250ml of formula!!! It's mad - but then by morning, he only takes half a feed - I just can't work it out. He's feeding four hourly atm but I'm going to try and feed him 3 hourly today and see if that helps!! I don't know what else to do. His day sleeps have improved though, so at least I'm getting things done - might have to try and get some sleep myself during the day again though.

Take care.
