hi girls
back on quickly while i have a few mins of peace and quiet. again i am so sorry i am such a bad buddy at the moment.
arte - sounds like you are really making progress with the sleep. W sounds just like N - and i think the strategy you are doing will work, it is similar to what we have been working on (and making some progress). I agree with MD you and DH need to discuss in daylight hours. we also argued over it all, not to the extent you did, but i found middle of the night discussions to be the worst!! i hoep you get it sorted soon, it will make things alot easier for you when the little one arrives (soon!!) if Dh can settle him. i also dont think it is so bad if you and dh have SLIGHTLY diff methods - not to the extent of one doing CC and the other not - but DH and I def do diff things (patting or not, lying at end of bed or not) t settle N and he seems to accept this. The other girls also have some great ideas, thought I would just send you my love and support as i know how hard this is and our boys sound quite similar in this regard. i know how hard it is when you are preg too.
MD - so sorry this round is treating you badly. i dont know what else to say other than that it sucks!
Rainy - pics of the CR and oo bi get up pls!! love how L will sleep anywhere now! that is a hilarious story. how was the xmas lunch?
Noni - how are things> DH feeling better?
clare - hugs. bet it will feel better when you get up to see your oma and opa.
so sorry i have forgotten everything else!!!

all is going well here - though poor N is sick with a cold (well i hope it is just a cold). yest went really well - we ended up with about 100 ppl! crazy business. but so lovely that so many people wanted to welcome our gorgeous Jacob to the world. he did well with the circ, though it was hard and he is still in some pain i think. i will be happy when the week is over. had gazillions of relos from both sides in town all weekend, whcih was lovely for N. now we hae to deal with the fact that they have all left!
J is doing so well. the nurse came today and he has put on 700g in 10 days. whoa!!!! he is a small bubba - 25th perentile for everything whcih is kida weird for me as N was always bigger and i am quite tall. but nurse said all ok esp as he was exactly in proportions. she said something about a small fontanelle - which i will get checked with paed at 6 wk check up too. he is starting to wake up a lot more, look around and i am so in love with him. i forgot how wonderful this newborn phase is.
better go, this is his cluster feeding time and he is yelping!
