Morning all (I just scrape in with the 'morning' part LOL). I nearly had a teary moment last night, just from being overtired mainly. Paige was being a little rotter nearly all day and I just about cracked it with her, as I don't want to yell at her or discipline her as she might resent Alister for it (most of the time she was poking him etc) kwim? So I just have to be more creative with my methods with her ATM.

Alister gave me a good 6hrs sleep last night, I was expecting him to wake at 2 but he woke at 4 instead, then he went right back down after his feed and woke again at half 8. Gosh I hope this lasts though.

Marydean, glad to hear the wound has started to settle down for you and is starting to feel better. Fingers crossed last night was a once off for you and Miss E gives you a better night tonight.

Leanne, I'm looking forward to going out on my own tomorrow too. Alister needs some clothes and stuff and I just want to get out. DH brought enough food while I was in hospital not to need groceries this week, but I still want to get out.

Cally hun, don't worry about Katie's weight too much. Paige lost just over the 10% and it took her a good three weeks to get back to her birth weight and was also just a slow gainer too - averaged about 100gms a week. You have to look at weight gain over a 4 week period and get an average as sometimes they can put on heaps on week and hardly anything the next. Plus sometimes they might grow longer in a week too and not 'put on' so much. You are doing a great job though.

Hi ele_ven 27 and welcome! Glad to hear you've got the feeding sorted - it's half the battle won isn't it? I hope the (.Y.) aren't too sore after being so engorged last night.

Joasia, haha! you found us LOL. Ouch at the daktarin experience too, I was cringing along with you when I read that. has your infection from the stitches cleared up?

Jaz, I love Hannah's nickname - Paige has a talking Peppa Pig and I can just picture her making those little noises, so cute!

Pregpan, IKWYM about them changing so much. They develop their own character's so quickly and grow so much.
