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...
Filling in time before I get Luke up for his last feed for the night. Dh has gone to bed but I can't because I will fall asleep and miss this feed. Did that the other night and had a hell of a night and we were both cranky all day.
Maya - sounds like your world is coming together beautifully
Erybery - great news, fingers crossed for you.
Heavenly - what a shame but at least you have some good photos. I can't beleive you DTD after 1 week, I was too exhausted to move!
Lily dust - good news as well with the SOS. Sorry was no help on the tear as a c section means those bits stay in place!
Nina - hello!!!!! glad your not beating yourself up but can understand why you would. the feeding and weight gain is one of my constant stresses.
Skybie - i love the snuggle of a co sleep but yes the dead arm is a killer.
AFM - not much to report, we have good and bad parts to the day. He seems to know when I need a break from him crying/being demanding and becomes an angel for a few hours which gets us back on track. We hit week 8 today and I remember you ladies saying this is a hard week so will look up the wonder weeks now and just have a read through to remind myself why things are hard for him. Otherwise Christmas shopping nearly done. Yeah!
It is quiet in here at the moment, it seems we are all busy with our little ones as they are all probably getting to the stage of staying awake longer and needing more attention.
Just wanted to drop in to update where we are at... Tara is 10 weeks today OMG, how fast time has flown... and counting down to Xmas and then we have a wedding over New Year and then Tara has her next weigh in. I think she has already passed the 5kg mark as she has now graduated to 00 clothes. The only 000 that she can wear are t-shirts and pants but anything that needs to be done up are just too small. Scary thing is, is that she fits the leg length on the 00 all in one suits perfectly, so who knows how long they will last her for. Also she has now started sleeping all night and generally wakes around 7 each morning and we are also now down to 4 feeds a day which means we are now able to get out of the house more as it is longer between feeds, this is a huge bonus for us as we live 30 minutes from our nearest town.
Oh, this may be TMI but AF has returned as well (not b/fing) which I was surprised happened so soon and wow it is really heavy, just like after having Tara. Will be interesting to see how long she stays for and when the next one turns up, I'm curious to see if my body has now realised after all this time what it is suppose to do .
were still in 00000 but 0000 with legs lol and 12 weeks on xmas still wake at night a few times lately so its worse but not really for a feed more a comfort suck
I recall about 14 local needles
. How were the photos?
