hey Tan, what a little trooper you have!!! I have been having a similar run with Angus...he has been going to bed at 9-9:30 for the night and will sleep till 2am will feed and will then sleep till 5:30-6am so I have been able to cope really well, he is an awesome feeder (and so hungry)
Angus has been sleeping alot through the day as well( a real novelty as Paige would never sleep during the day...at all!!!)..in fact he's been asleep since 5:30 so I am wondering if tonight might not be so cruisey...guess I'll find out in due course.
I tried waking him up the other day so he could have some awake time before night time sleep but he really wasn't keen on that idea, got cross with me and stayed asleep just kept pulling grumpy faces each time I tried to wake him up.
Angus has gone from birth weight of 9lbs 2ozs to 9lbs 10 ozs in just over a week (I would hate to see what he weighs now, but he is obviously getting the good stuff, he is such a great feeder, so much easier than his sister.
DH has the rest of this week and next week before he goes back to work am starting to get a little nervous about doing the single mum thing for the 5 days he'll be away but I am sure it will work out just fine.
I had my first bout of mastitis on Friday last week but luckily got it sorted quickly and am feeling back to normal.
no other news, just enjoying spending the days at home with my children, will have to think about how I am going to venture out soon I guess
had the Family day care association lady call today so I can start to get stuff organised I won't have to return to my job at the end of Maternity leave, doesn't sound like it will be too hard to get started and I am soooo looking forwards to being able to stay home with my babies this time around.
well love to all I am off to have a rest in case my little man decides to keep me up tonight.
Allie, Paige and Angus xxxxxxxxx
We had the MCHN visit yesterday and Logan is back to his birth weight in just over a week (4.34kg). He has put on 390g since last Wednesday - a big guzzler like Angus it sounds like!! Our nights are a bit varied, last night he was waking 4 hourly but the night before he only woke once which was great. He is such a noisy sleeper - grunting and snorting so I wake up thinking he wants a feed but he is asleep. I imagine I will get used to it.
We started using cloth nappies today, as we are almost out of the newborn disposables that we were given. It seems to be going ok so far.
Hollye - You poor thing waiting for so long and still having to go back at Centrelink!!! How frustrating.
Blizz - good luck with the family day care, sounds like a great idea for you.
Hi all!!
Hope everyoen is wel. I am still in canada till Jan.. having a fab time.. shopping relaxing and spending time in the snow..
Question?
Who is breastfeeding and who is not.. and how is it going.. ia m still struggling with Jorda.. still feeding here before bottle feeding.. i am giving myself 4 more weeks.. if nothing then bottle it is.. WHICH I HATE.. as its inconvinent for me.. finding boiling water.. sterilising etc.. PAIN IN THE ARSE... for my liking...
Just thought i would pop my head in and let u all know that things are getting slightly better - and im not so hormonal and emotional anymore!
Bianca still has her screaming the house down session everynight from 1800-2200 - for whatever reason - than settles and sleeps until about 0200, and back up again at 0430 - and sometimes goes back too sleep and other times dosent! so she isnt the best sleeper! not looking forward to when DH goes back to work!
During the day she is the perfect angel!
Just her and I are going for a day of shopping tomorrow - should be interesting! im very much looking forward to it tho!
Anyways thanks for all ur support and advice when i was going thru that rough patch!
I was very dissapointed in myself for how i handled things - but cant change that now!
no more sooking from me tho!
didi - im BFing with one top up feed atm at the 11pm feed. Still struggling here too sweety. Good luck. The idea of boiling water.. washing endless bottles etc doesnt sit well with me at all. If we have to change to that tho, then so be it. we can bittch about it together!!!
HJ - u werent sooking hun.. u are doing what we are all doing!! Its going to take a whole lot more then 2 weeks to adjust. Take ur time, u will be right. Bianca is gorgeous! Yeh i think ALL babies have that time in the day where they just go feral and there is no reason for it. Mayb she likes the sound of her own cry? lol. sometimes i think the constant screaming is Mia's way of making me go crazy but when it stops i know its not. At least she doesnt talk back...yet. lol. oh look at what we have to look forward to!! mwah xoxoxo
doing alright here. Me and Mia went shopping today and got some (well 63) photo's developed. and we brought some PJ's for her. I got her 2 pj outfits for $12! Kmart has a sleepwear and footwear sale on atm.. buy one item and get 60% off the 2nd item! i was stoked. Mind.. u one outfit had $13 on it and scanned for $10 and the other had $8 and scanned for $5 and then the 60% came off on top! Bfing still plotting along.. its seriously doing my head in tho. Fingers crossed its going to get better.
Hi Didi - I'm bfing Logan, all is ok at the moment which is good.
Hollye - we went to Kmart yesterday, and I agree that the sale is great. We got a few little 000 outfits for Logan as he has been in those since he was born. Skipped 0000 altogether!!
How are your bubbas coping with the heat? I am so thankful that we have central cooling, it makes things much easier. I am thinking that I will have to turn on the car a few minutes before we go out with A/C on so that the car cools down before putting him in. I don't want to overheat him in a boiling hot car.
oh the heat.. Its great when we are inside coz of the cooling but going out is horrible in the heat. Next time im ready to go out im going to go run the car for about 10 mins or so just to cool it down abit. A car sitting in 32 degree heat would be about 40 inside. I get really worried about Mia in the heat. Seems we had our bubs a little too late it enjoy the great weather we had at the start of october. Nice and sunny 22 degree days would be nice!
Mia is mainly in 0000's now but they are still a little big on her. Some of the 00000's still fit her tho i dont have very many. She is 8lb 4oz now
