PND - My Doc is going to talk to me again when I take Caitlyn if for her shots. Its hard having no support system out here and he was worried when I almost burst into tears when I went in for my 6 week check (was after a particularly bad night with little miss cranky pants!) I had depression diagnosed when I was a teenager (took drugs for a while then weaned off them) and my dad has it as well (taking meds for.....years!) so its kinda a family trait. DH is a little worried cause I sleep all the time but I am trying to tell him its cause I dont sleep at night! He too is concerned that I may relapse and seeing as he is never home he worries that I will and no one will be there to help me cope.
Anyway - back to work on the 8th January (or maybe the 9th). Am kinda looking forward to it - adult conversation and all that - but will miss being at home with my baby! Am only going back part time so it wont be so bad. Does anyone else think its a rort that you have to pay for public holidays at child care! Bit silly really. I mean its not like the child or staff is there! Anyway!
Caitlyn has kinda set herself into a routine. She basically feeds every 3 hours. But at night it can be anywhere from 3-5 hours so we are getting closer to a sleep through. However - it always comes with a draw back. We didnt get her settled until around 1015 last night. then she slept till 145. then up again at 530 for a feed. And now a feed at 830. So I guess that means i had better head off - little miss will be waking for a feed soon.
How long does everyones bubs sleep for in any 24 hour period? I dont know if I am letting her sleep too much or not enough.
