    KURAIZA Not at this stage. I have started BJ on a routine which means he sleeps from 11am to 1.15pm. I have implemented a daily walk into my routine & have been doing yoga myself at home on Wednesday's.

    As I mentioned, I have started BJ on a routine which seems to really suit us.. The only problem is that he's waking around 3am for a feed. He normally has 5 feeds a day, but this feed it his 6th. I'm guessing it's just a growth spurt & nothing to do with the routine as he's feeding heaps longer at each feed to what he normally does. The problem is that I can't get back to sleep. Then DH wakes me up, being so darn noisey, when he gets up for work at 5am. Pllleeeeasssse just be a growing spurt!

    BELFIE I lost 900g in the last week.... By accident. Just by walking for 30mins every morning plus my 1 yoga session. I was still eating ice cream & naughty stuff, hadn't changed my diet at all. I guess it won't last long.

    TANYA I'm so so sure you will get some good help today. I just know it *hugs*

    HOLLYE How's Mia been on the medication? Has it helped?

    Hello to everyone else, sorry no time for personals xx

    Hi all,

    Sorry but cant do personals today, have a migraine.. Hit me after I went to the pead, which I had found out yesterday was actually today not Friday.

    Anyway here's V's measurements.

    Weight Birth - 2.38kg Now - 4.3kg
    HC Birth - 34cm Now 39.5cm
    Birth Length - 47cm Now 56.5cm

    As you all may remember she has a little lump on the back of her head too the left, well at first the Dr wasnt quite sure what it was but has now told me that it is definately a Dermatoid Cyst and needs to be removed. He doesnt want to do it just yet, want her to grow a bit more but wants to see her again in 3mths time and will then book the surgery to have it removed. Thankfully he told me it is only day surgery so she wont be staying in hospital just for the day. I am really not looking forward to that day, let me tell you. Maybe thats why I ended up with a Migraine as soon as I stepped into the car when I left.

    Sami - You have to sign up and purchase online or unlimimited to be able to view the recipes. You can also get recipes from the WW magazines.

    Hi to everyone else, sorry but just not well enough atm hugs.

    oh i've been a bit missing! But I'm back!

    Had a hot stone massage today (belated birthday pressie) and it was BLISS! DH looked after X, and then I went to medicare and got like a million gazillion dollars back (I wish!) on the million gazillion receipts I hadn't submitted yet! I'm still trying to get all my bookkeeping stuff sorted, so had MIL over again on Tues... and X promptly slept for 4 hours through the arvo, so I'm sure she thought I have nothing to do all day lol but she was nice about it.

    new pic here of my happy little boy in his new overalls (finally cooler weather!) - he was just super-smiley (usually it's instant frowns when the camera comes out) I could just eat him up he's so cute : https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...0&ppuser=11474

    CSAB - sooo sorry to hear that V has to have an op ,how stressful for you hope the migraine departs asap too.

    KAT - lol on the rolling!

    GEORGI - eep those night wakes aren't fun. Fingers crossed he gets back to normal routine soon! And that's awesome on the weight. I've weighed in after my first week and I'm 1.6kg down so I'm pretty thrilled with that.

    TANYA - I was thinking of you yesterday and hoping it was useful! I'm looking forward to hearing the update. Oh and I'm going to look for that book you mentioned too!

    AJ - aaww that's so sweet he gave you that! I might have to drop some hints to DH. We've got our 10th wedding anniversary in May... hmm.

    KURAIZA - lol I'm glad you like my addiction, I think I'm addicted to the oddest things! I'll look up those sleeping bags too... they sound good. As for the article, thanks heaps for the offer. I'm going ok so far, but i'll definitely come a'knocking when I start to plateau I'm sure!

    SAMIH - yeah I'm not sure how much of WW online you can see before you join. I find it pretty good & user friendly (but i'm a nerd, so mebbe that helps?!? ).

    Everyone I missed, MWAH!

    csab - Sorry to hear that V needs an op. But her growth is good.

    belfie - Oh that massage sounds nice.

    Georgi - What routine were you following? I've decided that I like to have a bit of a routine but I find it so hard to stick to any sort of routine as soon as I leave the house! Plus I find that a strict routine just doesn't work for me. Like now I am not supposed to feed her before 3 hours since the previous feed and I'm not supposed to feed her if she hasn't just woken from a sleep. But she keeps only managing to stay up about an hour or less even. Then she does an hour or hour and half nap. So sometimes that's 2 hours since the last feed but I can't resettle or feed her and I'm at a loss as to what to do. The nurse is going to call tomorrow so I'm writing a big long list of questions to ask her!

    katones - Yay on Jack's good sleep.

    So a woman from Tweddle came over yesterday. It was great having that extra support. I had tried some of the things she wants me to put in place, but I always gave up on them cos I never knew if I was doing the right thing or not. Now I have the confidence to keep going. I have no idea if it'll work or not for me. But something had to change and I think this is definitely worth a try. So far it seems to take less time to settle her down for a sleep which is good! But not everything is working at the moment or sometimes it takes a lot of resettling to get her to sleep or to go back to sleep. I just hope she'll be able to self settle at some point!

    Anyway, I'm feeling more positive at the moment. And one of the good things is that my DH can again help to settle her. For a while now my DH couldn't put her to bed because she'd scream the house down and not stop screaming if he tried. So for me even that's a huge plus that he can help me with it again!

    And I'm still down on all the sleep school waiting lists - so at least I know if this doesn't work out for me on my own I have those (when they are available!) as backup!

    ETA - I forgot to mention that we also moved Maya to her own room and into her cot yesterday. She wasn't going to fit in her bassinet much longer and the woman from Tweddle thought it would be a good time to move her and start the new routine at the same time. I really missed Maya last night though. I love hearing her little noises and knowing everything is OK. Our room felt so empty last night. I keep thinking if I'm missing her this much and she's just in another room, imagine what I'll be like when she stays at someone else's house for the first time.
