NT - My mum make cards and invites, etc, so she will be making me birth announcments/ thank you cards. Tiera has recieved sooooo many prezzies of people, I think mum might be making for a while!
Q2 - Ido too much of the holding whilst she crys. I will be starting the 'controlled crying' when mum goes home this week. I won't let her go too long before I pick her back up again for a few minutes.

Tiera had a terrible night sleep last night. I'm supprised we didn't wake the town! lol Poor little bub had such a build up of wind, she bearly slept. Fed at 10:30, woke at 1:20am, then pretty much staid awake until 7am this morning (only had very short sleeps). I staid up with her most of the night, but by 6:40, I was stuffed and asked hubby to get up with her as he had to get up for work soon anyway. My mum then got up to her when Josh went to work so I could have a bit more sleep. Got up to feed her at about 8:15 and staid up. NOT NICE!

At this time of the day it is her 'witching hour'. She is usually most unsettled at this time of day, luckily mum was able to get her back to sleep after only crying for about half an hr (at this time of day, that is great!) Mum goes home on Tues and I am freaking out! I am trying not to rely on her now, but she is such a great help I just don't know how I'm going to go without her. It also doesn't help that I have so many people say to me 'How will you cope without your mum?' and 'I'll give you one week and you be down in SYD with your mum'. People keep saying to her "When will you be back, Friday?' Arg! So disheartening!!!

Sorry for the vent people, not the happiest little camper today.

PS forgot to add.... I have one breast full of lumps and is soooo painful. Tiera wont feed on it. Its as if she is trying, but its too hard for her or something?! I have been expressing out of this breast and feeding on the other. Has anyone else had this prob? Do you know of anything I can do? Thanks ladies
