I hope everyone had a great day yesterday. We did here!
Mel- we bought Emily the same thing! I had bought it in July on sale. I'd nearly forgotten about it. We bought her an activity elephant as well. She has had a great time playing with it.

Ashton's little santa suit was ADORABLE!! He looked so cute!!
we had a great Christmas, she had lots of short naps which was good as she was getting very tired out from everyone wanting to hold her.
i got a hot milk bra from my sister - yay! she's got good tastemy mum also bought me some new swimmers as i'm taking liberty to swimming lessons in a few weeks time. my mum bought me a present from liberty too - some natio stuff as well as other bits and pieces that i was given this year. hope you guys all got spoilt too!
Glad to hear that everyone's bubby's first Christmas went well and that most of you were able to spend it with family and friends - and yummy food too!!

Hey girls, glad everyone had a great Chrissy! Both the girls got terribly spoilt. Ashlyn had a good time with lots of people to admire her, but she is really teething poor thing. I didn't have any teething relief at my parents place so I ended having to rub her gums with ice. Did the trick though.
Will try to bbl for more

Hi ladies I've just been reading about the facebook breastfeeding protest on BB.
Apparently they have been removing photos of breastfeeding under the guise its "obscene" all the while I joined the protest group even tho I'm an expresser. I'd be BFing if I could. Mel I added you as a friend.

Good morning everyone
Well, not so good morning here. I'm sitting here after another night of broken sleep wondering how everyone else is coping? Am I the only not getting a decent sleep? Last night Ashlyn woke up at 10pm, 1am, 4am and then 5.30am. After that I gave up, she went back to sleep but I decided to do some housework instead - less frustrating. I know she can sleep longer because she has gone a couple of nights only waking once, but she seems to need everything to be just right to sleep, ie tummy full, nappy clean, not to hot/cold etc.... It can still take an hour to settle her at night.
Sorry for the ramble, just feeling a bit down after listening to people at Christmas talking about friends babies who sleep through from very young, girls that lost weight and look fantastic after having babies, all the things I don't want to hear when I'm exhausted and feeling fat

Oh Captain that's rough. I feel for you hun. I don't think you are alone. We have been extremely lucky with Emily and I don't take any of the credit for it I think its just her. So don't feel its anything you can do, you are doing everything in your control you can to make the conditions right for her to sleep, the rest is up to her. I'm not really sure what else you can do, so I'll just offer more hugs and sleep vibes.
Saying that we didn't have a great night last night either, She was awake from 2-3.30 and i'm not really sure why. All I can put it down to is that we did use a different wrap that she could get her arms out of and I think it made a big difference. She has nearly grown out of her miracle wrap which keeps her more secure. Tho she sleeps during the day with her arms out. DH just slept through all her noises which really frustrated me.
I think she is getting to big to wrap at all but now i'm worried she won't sleep as well as she has been without wrapping. She still startles herself awake.
Does anyone use grobags? I have one but haven't tried it yet.

no i here you on all counts feeling fat and tired, Eireann has been waking up more and ive found im sleeping in the day sometimes because of it ,doesnt help that my two year old wakes up at about half 5 in the morning, cant get cross at him though as he is so sweet with lots of cuddles and kisses ,
Good morning everyone
