Gosh where does the time go in the day now a days. 4 weeks ago, I was sooooo bored, and now - well blink and the time has gone from 8am to 10.30 in what seems minutes!

Aston has had a very snuffly nose, and not been very happy. Got some Fess from the chemist, and it worked a treat. Other then me feeling very stressed putting these drops in his little nose, and trying to hold him in the same position for a min or two, it was very successful. At the time though he wasn't very happy about it!

I think I got my first "Real" smile this morning. It was in response to my voice, and then again when he saw my face. It was different to those "practice" ones. Made my day... I think daddy is a bit jealous though lol.

Well done Meredith with the feeding! I swear I put Aston down to sleep and pick him again and he has developed a new dimple some where on his body - lol. I love chubby babies. both my other two were great feeders too, so its nice to know that I can do some thing well. L & N love their baby brother to bits, and are both great helpers. Nathan gets very emotional when he is cuddling his brother, I think he is overwhelmed with the way he feels about him. Its lovely. Good on you with going with what feels right too Meredith. Lots of people are going to offer you advice - unsolicited and otherwise. I remember when I was a first time mum that I took what worked for me, and discarded the rest. My ex MIL was the worst though! In the end I had to explain to her that things had changed dramatically since the 30 years that she had had kids, and I backed it up by saying "research has shown...." that usually shut her up. lol. I reckon the first 6weeks are the worst. You and bub are adjusting to each other, and the whole sleep thing just about send you around the bend! The suddenly you start to fall into some sort of rythm, and before you know it you are 5 months down the track wondering where it went to!


Kim - I bet you are looking forward to having DH around. It will give him a whole new appreciation for just how demanding these little bundles of love can be. I hope you can get some "me" time, and go and do something that is all about you!

LOL Christy to everyone being Matilda at the moment. I keep calling Aston Nathan, and even called DH Nathan and Laura. My brain is not functioning yet....brain cells are leaving my body via my breast milk I'm sure. I wonder if that will mean Aston will be super intelligent lol

Hope everyone else has had reasonalbe nights. Can you believe that it is 3 days til Christmas!!!!
