Kelly – thanks for the support hun! I agree with not going with a routine too, just feeding her and putting her to bed when she wants it – problem is how she is getting to sleep – more on that in a sec! Yay for Luke!!Im sure you will start sleeping better soon too – I wear earplugs and I find that used to help but now I hear her crying even when she isn’t Arrgghh well. Hope you mothers group went well and which movie are you going to see?! I feel like I haven’t been to the movies in years- might have to check out whats on next week! Whats the plan for your birthday hun? Doing anything special??
Yay for the reno too – I LOVE my bath not sure what I would do without one!!
Lulu- hope your scan went really well hun and you enjoyed seeing little Ned for the first time! Is it seeming a bit more real yet? Do you have a tummy!?? How is Izzy going?? I still think its great that you will have almost twins!! I say that but I understand what a shock it must have been for you and still probably still is! Not sure about the MCHN – I would feel weird calling and asking to see someone else – especially if I go in and then see her there – I might ask the girls at Mothers Group to see who has seen her and what they think too.
Jan – great to see you pop in again! Glad Pat’s birthday went well – isn’t it great to feel like life is normal again! Im so glad the weather is getting better here in Melbourne because Im sick to death of the sight of my 4 walls in the lounge room and am spending more and more time outside with Iz – she loves the wind and trees! My little greeny!
Lee – I might try wrapping her loosely too –her arms flap all about when I put her down for her day sleeps, its all just weird and beyond me right now and Im willing to try anything except letting her CIO! Hope Ethyn is being a good boy for mum!
Hayley – Must be such a great help having a good family and friend support around you hun! The gym sounds great- Ive just worked out with my mum today that Im going to start swimming and gong to the gym too- I need to get out m ore on my own and its our plan of attack to get Iz on a bottle and used to her for when I go back to work! Im ready to do one day a week right now but she wont take the damn thing yet!!
Sez- thanks for the tip- Im going to go to spotlight and get some of that fluffy backed plastic – should be fine for summer and will stop me having to wash a million towels and nappies!
Danni – how are you cherub?? Hope you are feeling better? Have you been back to the GP??
Ash – How are you and Blake going?? Hope your AD’s are ok and you are feeling well hun! I read your post about sitting up – can you believe how big and grown up our little people are right now!
Sarah – How are the annoucement cards going!? Hope Noah is being good and giving you a chance to work!
Kristen - Hopefully coffee at the baby show on Friday! Will msg you@!! Are planning on getting there at around 1:30 at this stage!
A bigto everyone Ive missed!
Well every night and day is just so different isn’t it? Last night wasn’t too bad thank goodness so we were able to get some decent rest. Mum relived me today too – I went out for 2 hours just on errands and shopping I had to do and it was great to get out baby free (although I rang home twice to see if all was ok!)
Mum put Iz down for a nap – and she watched her for 10 minutes after rocking her to sleep, and she found that while she was drifting off you could see her whole body relax and then all of a sudden she would startle – (like the startle reflex when they were little). Its like she feels like she is falling or something in her sleep, poor thing – no wonder she wont fall asleep without booby or being held? Has anyone else had this with their bubs? Not sure if its normal or something like night terrors or just a reflex while she is falling into a deeper sleep. None of my books say anything about it so I might ask the Tweddle nurse on Friday when I have my phone interview.
Well I have mothers group tomorrow – yay, its my one sanity during the week, although my wisdom teeth have flared up again and I have a killer headache so may not make itI have my sister and her family coming for dinner tonight so Id better get cooking,
Have a great night all and will chat soon!
Thanks again too for all the support – baby steps…
