Babies Born November 1st ~ 15th 2008

[Alyssas_Mum]

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.

Hi ladies

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?

ok, have to go, its so slow typing ith 1 finger!

catch you all soon!

Katie loves the sling we're using...essentially a 'front cross wrap' which goes over both shoulders and snuggles her up against my chest. I made it myself as it's basically just a strip of fabric that is 5m x 50cm that ties around me. But you can buy them commercially of course, eg Hugaboo. Good luck in your search.

Hi Natasha, glad you found us. lol. Read your birth story, sounds like mine... except my labour wasn't as long and i didnt have any drugs. lol

Charli is 'demand' feeding as well so shes feeding every 2-4hrs, sometimes she even wants a feed half hour after her last, but im not complaining yet, not until she puts on some more weight.
Alyssa was sick this morn and DP was out training for his forklift license, im so not looking forward to him going back to work its not gonna be easy on days like this where lys is sick and charli is hungry and then doesn't wanna sleep for almost 4 hours.

Kylie- lol @ logan being a chubba, sounds like he's growing perfectly.

I'm off to update on other threads before charli gets hungry again.
