Hi everyone – I’ve been telling Trish that I’d come and post here since DS was 2 wks old so I figured I’d better get my butt in here at some stage!
DS was supposed to be an October baby, EDD was 22nd Oct but he had other ideas – he was 44 mins late, born at 12.44am on 1st November. I hope you don’t mind me joining in, I post in the Nov thread too but it’s very quiet in there and a lot of the babies are quite a bit younger than DS.
We also have a DD who turned 3 last week. The first few weeks were REALLY hard, DS was quite unsettled and trying to learn to juggle the two was a learning curve.
DS is a very happy, chubby boy! He weighs 6.5kg already! Probably closer to 7kg now actually, haven’t had him weighed for a few weeks. He is breastfed and feeds 3 hourly during the day (give or take half an hr) and wakes twice overnight to be fed which doesn’t phase me because we’re only up for 10 mins at a time.
Have been having a hard time again the last few weeks, stressing over his sleeping habits (which really aren’t that bad) to the point I had a panic attack last week – so off to the shrink I went and am now feeling a LOT better about things. Have a few issues I need to work through (we lost our second bub at 12 wks and then had trouble conceiving DS and ended up doing IVF) but am slowly learning to just relax and accept that things will never be perfect! So onwards and upwards from here!
Trish has been very supportive of me during the rough times, so thanks again hun!
As for another bub - have always wanted 3 and would love another, but after all we've been through, I often doubt I've got it in me. It's very taxing on me emotionally so for now I'm just going to enjoy my boy and reassess when he's 12/18 months old. DH doesn't want another but we have 10 snow bubs on ice from our IVF cycle, so it's definitely a discussion that will need to happen at some stage.
I’ve been lurking since this thread started so feel like I know you and your babies fairly well already!
