HJ - Hang in there hun... I know it must be so hard and everything is so much harder when are sleep deprived... I saw your other thread and I hope some of the advice you were given helps hun.
Hollye - Yay hun!! YOu are doing a brilliant job babe and trust your body and that amazing booby juice lovely!!
Rileynmia - Great to hear from you! I hope your MCHN can help out hun.
Blizz - Im not too sure about the pics, I do my own Christmas cards and last year Izzy was sitting and it was easy as to get her dressed up and posing - this year I have to work out how to get her to sit still for more than 2 seconds plus get her to hold James!! Hehe! Might prop them up on a bean bag I think!
to everyone else I am tired and need to go to bed! DH is doing a kitchen reno so I stayed at mums all day today and came home to new benchtops! We are just replacing them, the tiles and the doors but keeping the rest of the kitchen as is and it looks great so far even with gaping holes in the wall! I won't want to sell it once it's all done!
Hope you all get a great nights sleep - be good babies!! Happy 1 month to my little man! Time flies so fast, I got teary today thinking about how fast he is growing up already and he now weighs 5.1kgs!! Boof I tell you. Hollye - Mia is still smaller than Izzy at birth! Not too sure how I've had such huge babies - Im only 5foot1!!
Chat soon lovelies!
Hi everyone,
Sorry i haven't been around much, it's been hetic here and Hayden's having a hard time with feeding!!! I'm happy to say that he has finally started to gain weight and has put on 50 grams since last tuesday!!! I've got heaps of milk in and he latches well but keeps falling asleep once latched on that with his 6 hour sleeping hasn't been helping! We've gone to 2 hourly feeds in the day and 4 hourly at night, I feel awful waking him up but he needs to be back at his birth weight soon!!!! Only 250 more grams to go!!!!
What have you all been upto, I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since Hayden was born!!! Hope your all doing well!!!!
Better run it's feed time again, wow it go's so fast!!!!
Tan - i dont know how i managed to have a small bub seeming me and Dp are both 6 ft! oh its strange how the human body works! Happy 1 month bday James!
Snoop - 50grams is great! u go girl! Mia's slowly getting over the sleeping thing, but i feel for u. it is very frustrating when they keep falling asleep coz with the waking them, and keeping them alert, a feed can take a very very long time. The only thing that has worked for me is letting her sleep. Dont u worry, she can go 6 hours without a feed when shes having a "moment" lol. Now she has reaslised what it feels like to be hungry and she is waking every 3-5 hours. You will get there hun and so will gorgeous Hayden.. stick at it!
Thanks Hollye!!
Congratulations on 4 weeks, wow it's gone so fast!!!
Mia is ssoooooo very cute, love her pics!!!!
I've still got to transfer mine of Hayden of the camera, DH was mucking around with a few shots and I've stolen one for my ticker, just haven't had the time to do it yet! I've also got to organise our birth announcements, haven't done that either!!!! AAARRRGGGHHH how time flies, it'll be christmas before we know it that's for sure!!!
Hope your all having a good day so far, Haydens gone down for a sleep so I've got 5 minutes!!!!
Takecare all,
Luv Snoopea
Birth announcements and thank you cards! Thanks for the reminder lovely! I have half done them on illustrator and need to finish them. I just went through all the pics of James and back to APril for Izzy of photos I need to print and there are over 100 of them! Harvey Norman has 12c prints at the moment so I will get them done in the next few day!
Hollye, can you add me to the list: Liam Samuel 17/10/08 17:22 8lb 2oz/3670gms 53cm.
Liam's falling asleep while feeding after only 5 minutes sometimes. No luck waking him to keep feeding either. Put him in his cot and 5 mins later he wakes crying and crazily sucking his fists again. So we're now feeding him a bottle at every feed after I've done the best I can with BFing. For the 1st time I'm leaning towards bottle feeding...
I'm frustrated because I called the Community Health Centre yesterday and still haven't heard from the LC. The "Beyond Birth" 'class' thing i was meant to do the other week was postponed again as the leader was sick so I won't go until he's 5 1/2 weeks by which stage I've learned most of what they cover. My friend in VIC said she had fortnightly appointments with the Nursing Mums or whoever they are, but there's nothing like that here in QLD - or if there is I certainly haven't been told about it, and I asked after he was born. Nothing's clear about who I should go to, especially if I have no issues and just need someone to say 'you're doing the right thing'.
Anyway, hugs to everyone. I'm gonna go catch some shuteye while he's sleeping.
Latest with us - we are pretty sure Bianca may have silent Reflux - had a pretty shocking start of the night with her last night, and in the end we gave up and let her sleep in her bouncer - she slept from around 2330 - 0530 - stirred at 0300 but i bounced her back too sleep - so we think she needs to be up-right a a bit when sleeping - so we have put her cot up on bricks (looks terrible) so she is on a angle and so far she has slept a bit in it today - fingers are crossed that it works tonight! she seems to scream and scream when we lay her flat on her back!
Talk of the devil she is now crying in her cot - im not too sure if she likes her cot either!
Anyways better go see to her!
Im really sorry i dont get much time too do personals!
HJ - James was struggling with trapped wind and reflux a bit too so we got him a hammock after he fell asleep in the bouncer one night for 7 hours and he is now sleeping SO well in it. You can hire them for a week to trial them from Hire for Baby - they are all around Australia, just google! We ended up buying the one we hired because we loved it so much.
1stbub - Have you tried calling the ABA?? They should be able to help with any questions you have and they are Australia wide as well hun. I know how hard it is.
Just dropping in to say hi. DH went back to work yesterday, so all on my own now (with Logan of course).
Hollye - Is that a Geelong Cats singlet that Mia is wearing in the photo??
We have our 2 week appt at the MCHN tomorrow to be weighed. I wonder how much Logan has put on? He seems to be putting on weight quickly. He was 4.34kg last Tuesday at just over a week old - goodness only knows how much he will weigh at nearly 3 weeks old LOL!!
Gotta go as I am trying to make some shortbread whilst Logan is sleeping. xx
