We had an absolute **** of a night with Nina!!! She decided just after 9 to wake up and want to play, then went back to sleep at 9.30'ish. Then at 3.30am she woke really unsettled and wouldn't go back to sleep! Finally got her back to sleep at 5.15am in our bed and Heath's alarm went off at 5.30, which woke her! She went back to sleep but I couldn't. But AF has arrived, which explains why she's so unsettled. Happens every month.
Hopefully she'll behave for me today otherwise I'm gonna go insane.

just a quick one as dh is home from the mine and i have an optometrist appt (i ripped my contact lens so have been stuck with glasses!!)... i will pop in later to do questionaire.
just wanted to let you know that we have been signing with ainsleigh...we started with just milk and she is now reacting to the sign! whenever we sign 'milk' she kicks her legs, gets a big smile and stops grizzling! so exciting. i also do bath, mummy, finished, more, nappy (oh and daddy when he's home!!)
rikki - thats great to hear its working so well. We've started doing finished and more with Vy but dont know many more signs. Might have to ask Wilhelms teachers some when he goes back to school. They use alot of sign there cause its easier for the kids with a disability to comprehend rather than words. We've used some with Wilhelm and its easier on him in a social enviroment eg shopping. He freaks out with lots of other people around. Good thinking 99

Wow at all the big bubs! Anna, I had the same problem when bfing Jack. I lost so much weight. Eating lots of good fats can help. Maybe you could see a dietician - they can help with a diet plan for putting on or maintaining weight while bfing, but still healthy.

Feelings.Love him to bits but I have found it harder to bond this time around. Maybe bcos he is more demanding than Jack, or maybe bcos I get less one on one time with him.
Jodi - Yep.. I look like sh*t - I've just hit 46kg. The LC was surprised to hear that I still had such an awesome supply, she said that normally the supply would stop/slow - but obviously my body has decided to put baby's food needs ahead of mine.
It's so interesting reading about what everyone's bubs are up to.. thanks for posting up the questions Rach.
Rikki - That's great about the signing with Ainsleigh... I'd love to look further into it, but we just don't have the money to do the course, so Xander will just have to wait until he speaks for me to understand him.
Wow Anna. I got down to 48kgs with Jack and I also had a huge supply. Until I fell pg that is!! Acutally I was stunned my body let me fall pg when I was underweight. If you can't afford the dietician you might be able to find some info online about eating good fats to maintain/gain weight. Hopefully it will help you to feel better.
:frown: well Jack just had his needles, poor baby cried and sobbed for around 5-10min, dr was very slow doing needles last time the old dr just went jab jab jab, so not sure if that made a difference or what anyway he is down for a nap which is good
:mad: at dr though made appoint a mth back so we could have earlist no wait well he had 3 people booked for 9am and we didn't get home till 10am we live 2 blocks from surgery so didn't get seen till 9.50am, so have booked his 6mth ons have a 8.30am appoint which is what i asked for last time
vent day here LOL, when we saw locum re his hearing last week, all she did was click in ears, make a ph call and type a letter well she charged us for a long appoint $104 :eek: anyway mention it to clinic nurse and receptionist today and they were :eek: neither was at work the day we saw locum, so they are like dont worry we will look after you for next few visit's bulk bill us etc :biggrin: see pays to complain LOL
ok gone I am hot and feeling a tad sick in belly I was up by 5.50am this morning and have doen all chores one small load of washign to hang out and packign for weekend is all
may have a nap while jack naps, dr said to give him panadol I dont know should I just see how he goes ????
anna - would gladdly give you some of my excess wieght honey if it helped. I hope yourve been taking your multi vitamin's and trying to rest as much as you can. big hugs babe.
Hello to everyone else, sorry for lack of personals, having an owie day, If it doesnt rain it pours with me.
Im feeling much better now, I was very down about WIlhelm but its only cause his routine is totally out of wack and i felt very usless by not being able to provide for his needs. A gf of mine who also has a child that has autisum said she feels better now knowing im human cause she thought I was invincable (silly chick she is). Yadda yadda.
We went out and bought I Wilhelm some shorts for 'school' and a new hat and he's been so much happier.
Ah Fooy elephant calls
BBL
Maz - Yep, I've been taking my multivitamins and trying to get rest (that rarely happens).
Whoever said breast feeding is cheaper than formula feeding mustn't have used a calculator... my grocery bill is waaaay more than the $30-$40 a week that the formula would've cost us!
