Hi everyone, I hope you are all recovering well and big hugs to all the new bubbas.
I haven't posted for a while as i had been enjoying spending time with DH - he is now back at work. Logan is feeding well and is up usually twice during the night for a feed. The feeds are the easy part, but getting him back to sleep is very draining. He seems to have more wind at night and last night took about an hour to go down after feeding! We have our 2 week MCHN visit tomorrow, so I will be interested to see how much he weighs. He was back to birth weight in a week of being discharged, so like Charli he is vulture that loves his milk
Nessie - sounds like you have had a tough time but you must be so glad to be at home now - hope you are feeling better soon. Our babies share a birthday
OMG OMG - I put Logan on the floor for some tummy time and he rolled over onto his back. I am very excited, is this normal for a 17 day old???

Hi all,
my mum went home today after spending the last two weeks with us. In the past I would have been ready for her to go within hours of her arrival, but this time she's been fantastic and I'm really going to miss her, I even shed a tear...that's never happened before...maybe motherhood has mellowed me.
Me and Kate and Jeff are on our own now...just a teensy bit scary.
Hi all,
Just popping in quickly to say hello before i head off to bed.
We have our first home visit tomorrow from the MCHN, can't wait to see how my baby girl is growing. Had a bad night with alyssa tonight, she pulled out all her toys today and we told her at 5pm to pick them up. 8pm i went in to put her to bed (which was half hour after i told her it was bed time and to hurry up an clean up her room) and she hadnt cleaned anything up off her bed, only the floor so i put it all in a garbage bag and told her it was going in the bin, boy was i not happy. To make matters worse DP sat on the comp all night so i had to feed charli and deal with alyssa. Thankfully they are all asleep now and i can get some rest..... oh and to top all that off my washing machine broke yesterday, its all electric so it looks like its gonna cost a fortune, last thing i need with a baby and baskets and baskets of washing. The repair man is coming in the morning so hopefully he can fix it then, otherwise i'll be spending the day at my sisters doing washing.
Enough of my whinging....
Kylie- so good to hear logan rolled over, its def normal for baby to roll from tummy to back so early, alyssa was 9 days old when she did, charli hasnt had much tummy time, although that will hopefully change tomorrow when i get her a lil kick and play gym thingo.
Fussyboots- lol @ motherhood mellowing you, it does do that to you. hehe. I'm sure you'll be fine without your mum, it does get a lil easier. lol
Well im off to bed to get some sleep while charli does.
Night
We had our 2 week appt yesterday and Logan has put on another 415g in 9 days. He has put on a total of 800g in the two weeks since leaving hospital. He is now 4.75kg - what a chubba
we are here! just feeding Lily so my typing isworse than usual. just posted my birth story in our old thread - should have put it in here!
have been simming your posts.
for sore nipples, don't bother with creams, use your breast milk on them. I found it best with both - and I was bad with Piper! Also, no dummies for us - im too lazy to put it back in when they spit it out.
Im demand feeding which seems to be every 2 hours or so, although I got a 4 hour stint last night so feel great!
im looking for a new sling thogh as Lily doesn't like the ring sling - any suggestions?
