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
hi kelly, long time hun, so glad to hear tara is sleeping through, thats excellent, you must be glad not to mention a bit more sane!
heavenly i cant believe serentiys still in 00000 thats amazing, its easy to forget just how tiny she was until you say something like that.
jades been very clingy, had a fair few screaming fits and in the arvo she will not have the bottle, which makes it hard as my supply is so low she has top ups, but is refusing them then i worry about her not being full etc... anyways shes a good girl of a night, i feed her a bottle at 1030 and she goes down till i wake her at 7, got to love sos!
in case i dont jump back on, i hope everyone has a very merry xmas, those of us that are first timers this will be such an exciting xmas our first with bubbas! next year will be even better cos they will be up and about and into the pressies under the tree lol
anyway i hope u all have safe and happy xmas's and that bubbas are good for u all.
xx
Heavenly your photos sound absolutely gorgeous, but as you sy all professional photos are dear as poison. We had belly photos taken and they are just stunning but very expensive. The deal came with 2 further photo shoots but being so far from anywhere its such an effort to get DD there and then happy enough to have the photo done
ery- good on you about the photos, its so much better to try and get photos that you are happy with then spending the earth on something you dont like! Such fantastic news about Ella not eeding a harness, very happy for you both.
Maya- Great news on your photos too. I think I may have your over supply this time round gave one expressed feed as we were at a wedding and have been engorged between feeds ever since!
Cam- I dont envy the stitches you musta had for your c-section either. Hope you are healing well. How did you get on with that 8 week wonder week.
KellyD- If I dontspeak to you before I hope your wedding is absolutely stunning and you have a magical day. Tara must be growing fantastically, Mime is gaining really well and growing like a mushroom but still fits into all her 0000??? I have no idea whats with that though! As for yor period....I spotted for a day and have seen hide nor hair of it since....another 'I have no idea whats with that' moment
Jen- Glad SOS is working so well for you and Jade. Ive given up, my poor Mima simply cannot dreamfeed.....if shes asleep she cannot attach and does not even attempt to suck. Cant complain though, she is a good sleeper just crappy through the day.
Sorry being a slack baby buddy lately. Sounds like everyone is doing well though.
All is great here, DD is a gem and I just cant get enough of her. I am soooo excited about Christmas and cant wait to see my DS's face on Friday morning.
Just incase I dont get back on tomorrow. I hope you all have a VERY Merry Christmas.
Thanks Jen will give the expressed feed a go. Otherwise I cant complain I am getting at least 8 hours out of her, just thought she would be more refreshed with out waking fully for a feed.
Wishing all the 1st time mummys the most exciting Christmas ever and for all you second or more timers the most exciting christmas ever with a new little treasure! Take care all and take oodles of photos on Christmas morning!
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.
