Hi girls,
Been tested now the waiting game, Wednesday is the big day. Poor baby girl is so miserable, I can't even hold her at the moment, it's all dad and she is really out of sorts, so sad!!!! I have had a few cries myself out in sympathy with her....and she has had hardly any sleep, hopefully it means that tonight she willsleep through and DH won't have to worry about getting her back to sleep after the 3.00am feed.
Yesterday we went to the beach for a relaxing day out (kind of) we found out Poppy won't sleep in the pram for more than 15 mins at a time, she is so used to being wrapped up or in the pouch, so pram is in the car and we will be taking that out more often to get her used to it, way to hot to carry her for much longer and she is getting very heavy!!! Upside was that lack of sleep through the day meanta 8.30pm bedtime and a wake up of 5.15am
Captain, tag team lol, sometimes I am sure it would be lovely if they slept at the same time. Cute that Ashlyn is beginning to laugh, Poppy has started to smile lots and has tried to laugh, but can't quite get it out, can't wait to hear it.... The smile is cute enough it's a bit lopsided and she winks as she does it.
Thanks for the support I am hoping that I will still have some milk left and she will be willing to feed.
Kell, 2 weeksyikes the pressure must be really on, no wonder you are feeling so alone just the stress of organizing everything, without a new baby. I bet you feel heaps better after it's happened.
Sue, lite an easy sounds good, I did it after Sophie was born and lost all my weight, was a bit over it by that time and that was 6 weeks. Really enjoyed the first few weeks. I am sick of takeaway, the only thing is still have to cook for the rest of the family!!!!Damn the motorbikes, we are really lucky and don't have much action around here.
Where are the rest of you girls???? Hope all is well, to you all and kisses to babies..
I'm still here jus been really busy. My aunty is over from adelaide and is being a huge help cause Dh is away. kind of like the mother i wish i had.
We are going ok Emily has been a bit unsettled so I think she is having a growth spurt.
I have just had a blocked duct which wasn't much fun. I felt really feverish and awful!
Pam, wishing you the best for today. Hope all goes well.
Eej, blocked duct sounds awful. Hope your feeling better.
Not to much going on here. Ashlyn is improving with her sleeps and has been going 6 hrs every night except for last night when I decided to go to bed early when she did, lol. We got to see the photos we had taken and they are really good. It's a bit pricey but they've done a great job. There's a really cute one of Ashlyn that will be pair with close ups of her hands and feet, and a really nice family shot. Can't wait to get them and hang them up.
test result back in... No thyroid cancer!! I thought and hoped after my brother and aunty that surely one family could'nt be so unlucky. Turns out part of my thyroid is underactive so this nodule is compensating and producing too much hormone, so off to see an Endocronologist in Feb (darn the long wait)to see how they are going to shrink it or remove it???? At the mom it is pushing on my windpipe and making swollowing difficult, fingers crossed it does'nt grow too much more between now and then.
Woohoo!! So pleased for you, Pam! That is indeed great news! Hope too that the nodule doesn't grow any further, sounds painful.
Sorry I haven't been on to post properly - my mother left last Friday and is now back in Hong Kong. A very sad day. Lots of tears. And it's taken me some time to get used to being on my own with Matthew. I miss having another pair of hands in the house but most of all I miss having my mum to talk to.
Matthew's father finally finally finally came to visit yesterday. Only one night though. But it was SO good for us all to be together. More tears today when he left.
There seems to be so little time to get the basic things done. How does everyone do it? I'm just so glad I had Mum here to help for Matthew's first six weeks. Anyway, must go wash up some baby bottles. Love to everyone.
Yay Pam!! Fantastic news. Sounds painful though, hope it doesn't get bigger before Feb.
Kerry, So good that Matthew got to see his father. It is hard to get things done isn't? I'm trying not to worry about the fact that my house looks like a bomb hit, otherwise I'll go insane.
Me, I finally snapped last night. After a couple of good nights, we were back to waking constantly. I went through the whole bedtime routine and had her solidly asleep just after 7pm. I was looking forward to being able to tidy the house a little and then watch some TV. Right up until the dog bark right next to Ashlyn and woke her up. So not only was she awake, she was really upset and it took another hour just to calm her down. I think I was crying as much as Ashlyn was.
So now I'm off to do last nights dinner dishes and to try and wash some clothes before we run out.
Rotten dogs barking!! Big hugs, Captain. Getting bub to sleep can be so painstaking, it really is upsetting when something like that happens. I'd spent an hour patting Matthew to sleep this evening and was walking to the bedroom with him when the phone rang, just as we were walking by it.
Any advice for cracked nipples and expressiing/breast feeding? My right nipple has a longish, deep crack and I'm worried it might start bleeding soon when I'm pumping. Ouchies.
yikes the pressure must be really on, no wonder you are feeling so alone just the stress of organizing everything, without a new baby. I bet you feel heaps better after it's happened.
to you all and kisses to babies..
Fantastic news. Sounds painful though, hope it doesn't get bigger before Feb.
