Hiya!

Up again every 2 hours overnight but held out until 5.30 to give him a feed. Feeling ok today as I managed to get back to sleep fairly quickly once I got back to bed. DH says that he will do some reading once he starts leave to see what can be done to get L to sleep thru. DH loves his sleep more than I do so I reckon he'll be motivated to get a solution.

Made up some sweet potato puree. Yet to try it out on L but will do when he wakes up. A little bit goes a long way, even managed to get some for the freezer.

Trish - sorry to hear about J's heart murmur.
Julia - how awful about that girl losing her bub. The sister of a girl I know lost her twins at 32 weeks. I know I breathed a sigh of relief once I got past the 12 week mark and again at 20 weeks but I guess you never can be assured until your bub is in your arms.
Willow - at least your bubs are in somewhere! I reckon if my current career goes belly up I'll become a family day care provider.

Hello to everyone!

Enjoying my last few days of freedom and relaxation. Oh dear.

Hi All,

Viv - I love Melbourne, if we ever moved interstate it would probably be Vic too. Good Luck with it.

Tris - I have a heart murmur too and its no biggy usually, alot of people have them and never know. I had a cardio guy check it out and he said its nothing to worry about just my anatomy.

Amara is getting a bit more into the food, she likes apple, pear and pumpkin. I also tried organic yogurt mixed in with the rice and pear and she loved it

Definitely have to get those mesh bags as she just wants to grab whatever I have LOL!

My nappy business is on indefinite closure as from midnight tonight, a bit of a relief actually.

Night,

Thanks everyone, I'm seriously not worried about it. I'd be concerned if Joel was not gaining weight, lethargic etc., but he is nothing like that! I've read that it is really common and can come and go. I will still get him checked over by a GP to be on the safe side.

Leah - Hope your food poisoning has well and truly gone. How come you're closing down? My business is temporarily closed due to me not being able to do everything! I still run it via the web though.

Saffi - Did you try out the sweet potato tonight? Bummer you have to go back to work next week

. I hope you still check in here regularly and let us know how you and L are going!

Kellie - Wow, Tahlia is a great size! I'm not turning K around in his car seat yet either, there is a clip on YouTube that shows what happens to a crash test baby in a car accident in both rear and forward positions. It's frightening what can happen when they are facing forward.

Becky - A heart murmur is an abnormal extra sound made when the heart beats. The sound is made by blood moving through the heart and its valves. The MCHN nurse said she could only hear it every 4th beat or so, so it doesn't sound very serious. How are you guys going?

Good night all!

Trish - Oh that is so good. Im so so glad it is nothing serious for you! We are all going well. Both kids are really good - most of the time. lol

Trish - glad you're not worried about Joel. I actually have a heart murmur too, didn't even know till I had my first surgery (between DD and L) and then it was confirmed by my ob and an ECG when I was 12 weeks prg with L. Mine is an 'innocent' murmur, as most are. I think if main valves aren't involved then it's generally not a big deal. I survived till 29 without even knowing I had one! Apparently they are diagnosed a lot during prg due to the increased blood output from the heart, at other times they may not even be heard.

Bad day here today - this little bloke just won't settle off to sleep on his own at the moment. I've had to fight him every sleep. It's wearing me down...I don't know what's gonig on but I really need it to pass NOW! Last two nights have been heaps better though with 3.5-4.5 streches between feeds and no other waking or resettling. I hope tonight's a good night, I really need some sleep after today!
