Miss bugs is sleeping fairly well co-sleeping helps.
As for poo's its been a week... Lots of farts and grunts and wiggleing but no doubt she'll do an epic poo while we're out tomorrow!
JLeigh, no dream feeds here (not for any of mine) so I'm no help, sorry.
Smiles are the cutest, but I can't get a photo because she's only smiled at me! Well, once at my Mum, but no camera around. (Haha she just came of bb to give me a big smile then!)
Six week check up with my midwife on Sunday, so we'll see how much she's grown then. She's growing out of her nb nappies faster than DD2 because she has chunkier thighs. She's not very ladylike when the rear end is operating, either. I've had a few poo incidents...
Yep jleigh a week... She makes up for it... Four nappys in 30mins!
Sarbear - woo! So cute.
Miss bugs is going well having a growth spert feeding every 3hrs and sleeping at night noo idea much over night but when im up at 7am her infant nappy (5-8kg) is very full. And she now has fat dimples on her knees... Scary shes growing soo quick!
Have the 4week check with the mchn this week. Which will be interesting.to see how big she is now.
Plus Vics 3.5yr old check... Which im kinda dreading :/
Six week visit for us when my m/w visits tomorrow. Bittersweet, means the end of this pg and birthing journey with my m/ws. I'm glad I get to see them regularly through our group get togethers and I'm now friends with my primary IM so we catch up for crafty stuff (knitting get togethers!) too.
Sah - happy 5 week birthday! He sounds like he's had a real party today.
Dansta - knee dimples sound cute!
Jen - it's great you've got such a good relationship with your MW's. Must be sad to end your 'official' time with them, but cool you'll still get to see them.
AFM - DS2 had his 6 week check on Thursday. He's 4.04kg, 53cm and has a 39cm head. So, right on track The MCHN gave me the depression/anxiety questionnaire to fill out and (shock, horror) it seems I am 'moderately depressed'. She was great and offered lots of support. She's filled out a form to get me some home help, given me a referral for my GP to fill out for counselling/support if I don't feel better in a couple of weeks, given me details of a Mother Nurture group she wants me to go to and will follow up with me in a couple of weeks.
Ob check up was last week too - all good there, but I need to have an US to make sure the cyst I had has gone.
And DS1 had an assessment to do with his anxiety/sensory issues. After 8 months on a waiting list. Now they need to decide which discipline will take him on. Hopefully that won't take too long.
DS1 has his check up on Tuesday and I've booked his immunisations for the week after.
Bub's day naps are very hit and miss at the moment. DH wore him this morning as he refused to settle (cute seeing a big dude wearing a tiny Bub, lol!) He's having a real arsenic hour (or two) in the late arvos too, colicky and upset, but it's just cranky baby stuff rather than the reflux, thank goodness. Waking 2-3 times overnight.
JLeigh, I love watching DP wear our babies too. He even tried the ring sling with DD3, although he generally sticks to the Ergo. Not surprised you're showing symptoms of depression with the run you're having. Did your Mum get there okay? Has that helped?
Sah - yay for rolling! DD3 has done it once, but she was being cranky at the time so I'm not sure if it was accidental rolling from general flailing about, or on purpose.
I didn't think to get her measured when m/w was here, but little Miss Piggy weighs 4.6 kg clothed, which works out to about 4.35 kg bare (take out the sling and clothing - m/w has hanging scales). So she's put on 1.5 kg since birth (half her original body weight). Her thighs are outgrowing the nb nappies. On the plus side to watching my tiny baby disappear, she's more snuggly!
Jen - go bubba! Awesome weight gain I'm going to try Bub in his NB ittis again soon - hoping his thighs have chunked up a bit so he'll fit. Gave up on the prefolds when nappy changes were so painful as they don't last as long as sposies and I wanted to minimise the trauma (for both of us, lol!)
Mum arrived safely and has been a big help. Just having her around is great and with all the appointments/car trips I have, having her mind Bub at home rather than scream in the car has been great. We think it's less likely about the pain now and more just that he can't see us. Explains why as soon as I open the door, he's ok. And is ok when we put the capsule on the pram....unfortunately, I don't think there's much we can do about it if that's the case
Awesome weight gain for Miss C, Jen. I do love that they are becoming more snugly.
Jleigh so pleased your mum has arrived for some support. Also pleased you are getting a referral for some extra help. You have had a tough time, it's no wonder you have some symptoms.
All well here, loving this time with my boys! Love watching DS1 with DS2- it's adorable.
(Probably loving this time today even more, both boys are asleep, housework done so I am enjoying cheese and crackers while watching Dr Phil!)
I'm excited to have a day at home to get dome housework done, haven't had a full day at home for ages, especially with my big boy at pre school. (How sad!)
Sahbear - if I had a whole day at home, I would NOT be doing housework!
AFM - had an US (they had to do an internal one as they couldn't find my ovaries. Yay me) to check on that cyst I had. It was gone, and the US place is $200 richer! The ob says I need to make an appt for the results, but I don't really want to fork out yet another $100 to be told what I already know...
