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
Great birth story Fussyboots. Fantastic effort. I will have to write mine up soon, we were in labour at the same time, but my bubba was just too happy to come out sooner LOL.
Hi all - was going to say stay away from KMART - but i see some of u have already been!
i got conned by Pixie Photo's and a couple hundred dollars later!!!!!!! now i have too wait until the 27th too pick up my gorgouse photo's of Bianca!
Has anyone else got them done aswell?
Hollye - im soooo proud of u - u are doing soooo well bfing! good on ya for perservering!
Didi- I am breastfeeding hun and it does get easier although at the time I know from experience it doesn't feel like it will.... I had pain in one nipple for no known reason until 4 mths with Izzy and nearly chucked it in but we worked through it and it all got better and I fed her until she was 11 mths old and would have kept going if I wasn't back at work and pregnant!
Allie - I hope you got all your mat leave stuff sorted hun and bummer about the mastitis I hope it clears up fast for you.
HJ -Im glad things are better hun and keep your chin up and do whatever you can to get through the witching hour = try bathing her at the time she's screaming etc.... to you.
Kylie - Yay for the cloth nappies and weight gain! I have a little giggle at times at how HUGE my little man was when I hear you ladies telling us what weight you are up to! Such a boof man! No wonder I was HUGE at 2 weeks overdue! I am wrapping out wee man in a muslin wrap at night with just a nappy and singlet on and he was ok. I think I will put a fan in there over summer to circulate the air but not on him. It's so hard to know what to do - I had the opposite with Izzy because she was born in May!
Hollye - Hang in there with the feeding hun you are doing a brilliant job! I need to get some photos developed too! I got them done monthly with Izzy and but I am waaay behind on hers and need to get them done from around Feb I think - eeeek! Hot here too! I am hoping the change will come through soon! We have the a/c on but it doesn't reach the bedrooms at night!
Fussyboots - Great story hun! Well done!
Well Im off to do some housework while I can! Izzy is eating "tanas" and James is asleep in his bouncer (of course). We had another good night last night - he slept from 730 tl 230 but MAN my boobies were sooo sore. I know I shouldn't complain and Im not but whoa mama!
Hugs to you all and your gorgeous little ones!
Didi yep still b/fing here as well, I think I've got better with each bub, Cody I b/fed until 17 and half mths, but I stopped so that I could TTC again as I'm one of the lucky ones that can't get pg until I've fully stopped. I think my hardest bub to feed was Lockie(DS2) I only fed him 15 weeks as he was feeding every hour and I was exhausted and was at my wits end so comp fed with one bottle of formula and he wouldn't take the boob again I was devasted but obviously he was starving and the bottle was better for him.
Tan things are going great for me and Julian, he seems to be doing the sleeping from 6:30-7pm til 1:30-2:30am and then sleeping until about 6am again which I'm finding great. I totally understand the sore boobies after such a long break.
I got Julian weighted yesterday and he's now 3820g, he was last weighted on discharge on the 19th of Oct and he was 3310g so in just over 3 weeks he has put on 510g. His little head is only up 1cm at 34cm and he has grown 4cm since birth and is now 54cm. All is going well and I've noticed that he's starting to have more awake time which is nice as he's always smiling and yesterday he's started to make gooing noises, which is always cute
I hope it clears up fast for you.
to you.
