Georgi - Feel free to brag. How nice to get some extra sleep! Oh and thanks again for sharing your play routine. I've started incorporating some of the things you suggested and Maya loves it.
PP - That's a great weight gain. I hope Maya continues with her good gains!
katones - Yeah sometimes I feel bad cos my DH comes home and I shove a screaming baby at him. But then he works in an office and gets to sit all day, has coffee breaks and takes a long lunch break. And he doesn't have to care for someone else all day long. Plus I let him sleep at nights. So thinking about that makes me feel less guilty!
Well yesterday Maya just wouldn't go to sleep till 11pm! But then she slept until 4am and after putting her back at 5am she slept till 8.30am. I was so exhausted at 11pm though! I was ready for bed at 9pm but couldn't go to bed till she was in bed. I read somewhere that babies get more and more unsettled until they peak around 6 weeks and then they start getting more settled. I've noticed that her unsettled time is increasing and getting worse. So hopefully it's going to peak soon and then start getting better!
Must be all the greedy boys putting on the weight! Zander has also put on 1.45kg since his birth - but he is long also 58.5 so doesn't look overly chubby, until he pulls his chin in and it triples
Itsme - Andre Rieu - woohoo - have a wonderful time - and try to enjoy your night out! I haven't noticed a huge change at 6 week mark - but maybe my life is just a bit too hectic to notice - but Zander hasn't seemed to have an unsettled period of more than an hour really so I am praying that continues - specially with my husband travelling - it would be really hard if he cried for a few hours and still trying to get the other two fed/bed/read/sleep etc.
Georgi - brag away, Byron has had a little head start on the outside world - I am hoping by Christmas Zander will be "sleeping through" - or just so I can get a 6 hour stretch of sleep - so that's about 8 hours between feeds But Zander seems to go into his night time sleep around 8pm too - which fits in well with the other kids, but would be nice if he would feed once more around 10pm
Cheryl - I can't believe how teensy Olivia is - but it takes all kinds to make up the world so I am happy to hear she is putting on weight and doing well
Having said things are good - at our clinic appt yesterday I did tne PND questionnaire and came out the top of normal - but dunno how. I think the questions are tricky - especially the crying one - you have cried for no reason (or something like that) and one answer was yes occasionally, and the other was no, never. Well I have had a moment or two, but nothing big, just tired and exhausted - but couldn't tick no, never cried - Oh well, as long as I feel ok, we should be fine. I had a bit with Giselle just mild, more my putting expectations on myself to keep a clean house with a baby and 2 yo toddler and meals and general stuff - was cross I couldn't do it and was a bit sad
Just a quick note letting you know how the twins are going. Well we have our good days and our bad days. It's really hard when both are crying all day, any way my little Hana is a drama queen and Sam just goes with the flow.
Georgi: Blissful! Jude slept last night from 11pm until 5.20am, but I woke up at 4.30 wondering why I was still asleep and I just dozed until he woke up. I could have really done with that extra sleep, why did I wake up?
Itsme: I think our husbands like the "great baby handover" at the end of their work shift. I'm sure they miss their little families all day. Since Jude hates having a bath, my husband now showers with him and Jude loves it. He makes happy gurgling noises and then I take him and dry him and he plays with the towel. It's so much easier than running a bath and my husband said it's the closest bonding he can get with Jude.
Jude never sleeps until 11pm. My sister babysat yesterday so we could go out for mexican with friends, and she tried to settle him but I had to tell her he won't sleep until 11pm. Every night I wish I could go to bed earlier, but I can't.
PinkPalace: 1.26kgs in 5 weeks is plausible. Jude's gained 880gs in 5 weeks, but he's only a little guy.
Cathie: Having twins must be very difficult. I'm sure you're doing an amazing job.
Jude and I went to Seaworld yesterday with my sister, Brother-in-law and their 2 kids. My 3-year-old nephew was a nightmare. He actually hated the dolphins and had to leave the dolphin show and then he didn't want to do anything. Eventually he had some fun at Sesame Street Beach, but what a day! It was sooooo exhausting and poor Jude cried and cried because he was hungry and I couldn't feed him dead-on demand. I won't be attempting that again for a loooooong time.
