Hello mums and bubs!

Amber, sorry you're having a rough day. For us first-timers, it's such a steep learning curve and there are definitely times when it seems a bit overwhelming. Totally normal! Don't beat yourself up about wanting some 'me' time...it's a huge adjustment having to get used to having a little person who is dependent on you for absolutely everything. Maybe ask your DH for a little extra help at night if you're finding it difficult? My DH jumps out of bed to change India to give me an extra 10 mins of sleep before I have to get up and feed her. It's makes an enormous difference to know that you're supported so don't be afraid to ask him for help! Hang in there, honey

Mo, WTG on Maddi gaining 300g! It sounds like she's getting more than enough milk, so I doubt that's why she's unsettled. It seems that some bubs just need to be held! India definitely has her moments...some nights Daddy has to walk laps with her around the house for ages before she settles! LOL

Ange, I was a 7-8 hour sleeper pre-baby too, so the waking every 3-4 hours now definitely takes some getting used to. It has to get easier, doesn't it?! LOL Woo hoo for shedding 12kgs without doing anything! You know, I read somewhere that B/F burns something like 1000 calories a day! I found the weight just drop off every day after giving birth...I still have a little bit of a belly to work off, but I dropped 10kgs without lifting a finger. Hopefully your BP will correct itself and you won't have to start on meds, btw.

Peta, it's great to hear from you! I've been wondering how you and the gorgeous Miss Kaylee are getting on. Sorry to hear you've had a rough couple of weeks, but it sounds like everything is looking up now. It's great that Kaylee is over her birth weight!

I had a home visit from the early childhood centre middy this afternoon. India has put on 350g in 6 days! The middy was thrilled with her weight gain, said I must be feeding her really well *proud mummy moment* Thank god my milk is settling down and my boobs have finally softened...they were so huge and hard before that I looked like I had Jordan-sized implants! LOL

Anthony is back at work now and has his first overnighter tonight *boo hoo* As much as he's going to miss his girls, I think he's secretly been looking forward to it because he gets a full 8 hours sleep tonight! LOL *jealous*
