I had a pretty good weekend. Nina was a bit sooky and cranky from her needles on Friday, but slept pretty good at night. A couple of weeks ago she was sleeping through the night, now she's waking once or twice for a feed!! I've stopped giving her the formula at night as she seemed to be too hypo from, and it has settled her down a lot. Last night she slept pretty good, only waking at 4am for a feed, and is still asleep now. We were busy having a huge clean-out of the garage and the yard over the weekend. I have to clean up inside now as we have relatives coming next week.
ellsbells - How did the ultrasound go with Paige, is the chest infection clearing up?
rikki - That's great that Ainsleigh is sleeping well. You'll have to give me some tips, Nina was sleeping through but now wakes once or twice for a feed.
Maz - woohoo on the negative HPT!!!
caddie - Happy Birthday for this Friday if I forget!! What have you got planned for it?
little*p - How did Alexander sleep last night, hope he gave you a rest.
aboll - sorry to hear that Simon has PND. If you ever want to chat, I'm on msn as well. Hope all goes well for you both.
Adele- I hope Simon works things out with the PND, try to look after yourself also as you could also end up feeling depressed trying to do everything alone. Have you got any family that maybe could come over for the night and give you the night off to just get a decent nights sleep?
Ashleigh is taking longer each night to settle, I've read in a few books with most babies they get more unsettled each week and then it peaks at 6 weeks and then starts to decrease again. So far this seems to be the case with Ashleigh. Last night I decided to go to sleep at 8:30 but Ashleigh had other plans. She was on the boob often, finally after a good feed at 11:45 she slept til 4:40 then again til 8:15.
I've decided in the day to just give up trying to get her to sleep in her bassinet. She will fall asleep in her bouncer and I used to try to transfer her to the bassinet but she'd wake up and not go back to sleep. So I'm just going to let her sleep wherever she wants. I only tried otherwise cause all the "advice" about them getting into bad habits but I think most important thing is that she gets some sleep and then if she's not so overtired she may settle better at night.
last night was like hell on earth in this house simon was just flipping out so much that i left and went to mums for the night. my brother came back to my house to make sure simon didnt do anything stupid. mum was a great help last night she got up and down for the kids so i got so sleep as much as you can when your worrying.
mum said riley was feeding every 1.5hrs but wast finishing his bottle so we thing he might be growing again.
jodi - lee i have added you to msn. im hugs4eva99
caddie- sorry to hear you had a bad day the other day. i know how you feel with the hubby. simon was saying that saturday night.
nelle - i would love it if someone would do that. when my mum is free simon has to work late or if we go out he get phone calls from work it pi$$es me off.
im so lost when he is like this. i should have seen it coming as he was like it when akira was born. i guess i didnt see it this time cause ive needed his help more than ever this time round.
I hope Simon works things out with the PND, try to look after yourself also as you could also end up feeling depressed trying to do everything alone. Have you got any family that maybe could come over for the night and give you the night off to just get a decent nights sleep?
