Lilydust - I had an episiotomy and I am still tender down there. My Ob said that it will still be sore for while and that I am supposed to massage it daily so the scar tissue doesn't become rigid - I swear the pain of the cut was worse than labour pain!
Heavenly- yay on the weight gain, Ella is chubbing up and growing out of all her clothes!!!
Mayaness- I've been using the dummy to prolong her sleep and we actually had an 8hour one night a 7 hour the next and then a five hour and a six hur sleep last night! yay!
Jen- thanks for asking, DD seems to be settling down, much better at night but still wants to party in the day but getting used to that. We have her next hip ultrasound on Monday, hopefully there is improvement otherwise she will probably spend the next few months in a harness
Oz- bet DD has changed heaps since I saw her last!
Skybie - 12 weeks has gone soooo fast - to think you wre the belly buddy that started the threads bubbas being born!
AFM - Ella is 10 weeks old and has settled down a lot, not so much screaming and has strated to give smiles more often - very rewarding. Off to look at some pofessional photos we had taken today!
Hi all.....sorry I have been missing for so long I am a terrible Baby buddy lol
I havent read back on all the posts yet but it sounds like we are all having our own little dramas but all and all the bubbas are going and progressing nicely.
Well my little Laicee girl is having formula as well as boobie juice now...at our last visit for weigh ins and needles she was underweight she hadnt put any weight on at all since her 6 week check up so I was on a mission to fatten her up....I of course beat myself up that I was starving my poor child etc etc etc...i have snapped out of that much to the relief of my friends lol. and I am pleased to announce she has gained 600 gms in 2 weeks bringing her up to where she should be. I have 4 children and can honestly say I am still learning each and every one of them has been different and a challenge in their own way.
i hope everyone is doing well and is happy and healthy xxx
nina- Great to see you back on board. Fantastic news about Laicee's weight gain! Well done little miss.
ery- thanks for sharing about you episiotomy, Im not glad your still tender but its good to know Im not the only one still tender 2 1/2 months later! They never mentioned to me about the massage but it makes sense. I dont know about the episiotomy but when it came to stitching me HOOOOLY!!!! I was offered a general and demanded to stay awake, then I was offered gas for the stitching and being on cloud 9 and in the 'I can do anything' frame of mind I stupidly replied 'I just birthed a baby, I dont need any gas'! I recall about 14 local needles . How were the photos?
skybie- thank you too for sharing about the tear. Glad you have healed well, hopefully I will be all good very soon! Co-sleeping is just lovely...but that arm it aches like nothin else! DD is put in the bed between us and somehow I end up with no bed and Mime and DH have all the room in the world!
Heavenly- Did you have photos done? Did I read that or have I dreamt that up? lol.
AFM- we hve been reading our SOS and we are going better than expected so far, napping perfectly but DD is having a few issues with resettling and moving into a second sleep cycle in the daytime, so is napping instead of sleeping. She was having a big sleep of 3 hours at 12pm (plus naps) but it just stopped all of a sudden and as I said she is struggling to move into that second cycle. Which leaves my little chook a real crabapple!
yep got photos done but theyre so expensive so cur it down to $375 and am getting one of all 6 of us (10"x13") one of jose hand holdin serenity with a border that says "in safe hands(8"x10") then one with 4 photos in it one of the 4 kids with "my family" then one of the 6 of us then 2 of serenity in sepia(20"x24")i wanted more but cant afford them which im sad cos there was another great on which had 4 pics one of each that i wanted
Nina - Good to hear from you and thats great that the formula is helping with the weight gain. I have been getting Ella weighed each week as I am such a panicker! Don;t know why as shes always packing it on hehehehe.
Lilydust - The epidural was still on when they made the cut and stitched me up so it was only when it started to sting and ache a few hours later that I thought OH MY GOODNESS - this is the most incredible pain I have ever felt hehehehe.
The photos were crap as she was not smiling or even looking the slightest bit amused in any of the photos so I refused to buy them, I said I'd try again another time.
Heavenly - Profess photos always cost a mint so annoying!
AFM and DD - Her 2nd hip ultrasound was toda and they have improved so the ultrasound lady said she wouldn't need to be put in a harness! Yay so happy, still have to wait for official results from the paed but fingers crossed. Ella slept for 8 hours last night - amazing what a few extra hours of sleep can do for you;
Our professional photos turned out too great to pass up, and even though DP just took on a job with a pay cut (but far more cerebral stimulation!!) I had to order them - more than $400 worth :blush: Easier to turn down photos when the photographer isn't so flash...beware when you choose a fantastic photographer!! I should have realised that, but when I think about it, it's what I wanted - some great photos to document where our family is at, and photos that are a slight departure from the usual portraiture
Nipple thrush healed, wet cough is a dry cough and fading now, DS still loving his sister ridiculously, supply has settled right down (I thought that was for other people and that after last time I would be lumpy and overproducing for months, so it's a nice surprise!) and having lots of chats with my miss.
Glad all is happier for you, Selina!
Gonna see about a nap before boys return home...
