wow kate H is a big boy!!! Must be all the mummy love he is getting

jaki, chase isn't really a fan of my right side. He does the bare essentials; gets his milk and then he wants off. The left side is his favourite, he will hang out on that one all day if I let him lol

Well Dh had to call this job today and ask when someone was going to call him about a medical so he could start work. HR had no idea who he was so had to call the head guy who hired him. All fixed in a couple of hours and he is going in for a medical tomorrow at 1030am. find out of he is cleared the next day and then hopefully he will be starting work next week thank god!

[TeniBear]

Not only BF's! H pinches and scratches too! My chest looks like a cat scratcher!

[ellasmummy]

Wow Kate, go H man!!!! Chlo was 6.5kgs in the nuddie, no idea about length or HC though.
Jak Chloe pinches but on my hand! I usually go on bb or fb while feeding but now she wants to hold my hand which is very cute, but she starts pinching my fingers, bloody little razor nails hurt!! Was thinking of getting myself one of those necklaces so she can play with that while feeding.
Kitty Yah for DH job!! Did I find out if you have to work Friday?
Kylz why you holding out on me about these mittens?!?!

[KittyK]

jaki: Chase pinches too, somehow he finds the nipple on my other boob and just pinches it. Or he just waves his free hand around in my face and touches my face then his face, then my other boob, then my face. He's a wiggler.

lou: nope not working this friday

oh today was having lunch with a friend and hadn't given chase his solids. I knew the minute he was starting to give me the serious look that it was on. As soon as I started eating he would not take his eyes off me and then when it became obvious I wasn't sharing what I was eating he started crying and carrying on. So had to stop eating go warm up some food and come back and feed him then come back to my cold lunch. My boy loves a feed Did a weigh where DH stood on the scales by himself then with Chase to see how heavy he is now, looking at about 8kg. yay!

Well another night of waking up at 1am I'm oVer it seriously over it. Nothing interesting going on here Jay just getting too big and it's making me sad. No one warned me they don't stay babies for long.

See those of u Fri

[KittyK]

Kylz: I know chase is 5 and a half months this week. my little bubba.

Sorry not seeing you guys friday, one of the mums in my weekly playgroup wanted to test out a new community mothers playgroup and didnt want to go alone. DH went in for physical today and got the all clear. they are faxing results to the new job tomororw, hopefully they get their asses into gear and get him to work on Monday. If I have to watch the lazy bastard sit around playing call of duty all day for another week Im going to whack him over the head with a frying pan.

jaki - hugs sweety, don't let it get to you, I remember with Luke I was going to express a bottle a day so mark n him could have bonding time - it never happened as I would only get 10-20mls at a time and was never home all day to get a full bottle. So I gave up on expessing and when I needed my time away, it was formula or nothing

[JennaJayen]

I was wondering why I wasn't getting updates lol, new thread.

Ellasmummy - Elise only has 4-5 bottles a day of between 160mls and 210mls.

Kate - Go H! He's going to be tall when he's grown up and will have all the girls hanging off him :P

Jaki - *hugs* do whatever you feel is right hun, if it helps then it helps, you need some time for yourself xx

Hi everyone else!

afm - not much happening here, Elise is rolling from her tummy to her back every time she has tummy time, and started blowing raspberries the other day.
Last night we took both the kids to their first rugby game Storm vs Bronco's lol, was an excellent game, DS had a ball and made friends with a little boy his age called Jensen and his big sister Maddie(sp?) who were sitting in front of us, and Elise watched the first half of the game before falling asleep for the rest of the game lol

Can't believe it was a year ago yesterday that I got the BT results back saying I was officially pregnant with Elise O.O where has the last year gone?

Hope you're all doing well xxx

[WeeMansMummy]

Glad I'm not the only one getting pinched then!

Well I am on my absolute last tether of sanity and exhaustion. W has gone from 1 night wake to 2 then 4 then 6 and now last night was 8.
I've tried him away from me and in bed with me. Doesn't make a difference. It's just getting worse.

I'm not functioning at all on no sleep. And I'm cranky at him which is not cool at all but I'm so tired.

What do I do? Solids? Formula top up? Try him in his own room? Suck it up?

I feel guilty no matter what ideas I come up with

[WeeMansMummy]

Do it kitty. Do it for all womankind

[Sammiejane]

Jaki, same here!
I dont think that it is to do with food, more sleep associations (you, like me, normally feed to sleep) Was reading something last night that talks about why sleep is so bad at this age... It's apparently to do with sleep cycles, around now they switch from newborn to 'normal' sleep cycles and have wake periods where they have to learn to put themselves back to sleep, now all they know is feed to sleep, so when they wake, that's how they know to go back to sleep itms... If you are interested in it I can pm you the link... (it doesn't say you have to stop feeding to sleep or do CIO)

Thanks SJ that wud be great

Trying something new tonight... I'm not happy about it but I've put Wyatt in his cot in his own room. He is about 2 metres away but I still feel bad
He went straight to sleep so fingers crossed he has a good night!

Q for you guys with bubs in their own rooms- do you use a night light?

[Sammiejane]

Nope... Her door is open so if we are up there is a bit of light going in and I switch on the hall light when I get up to feed so I can see a bit, but other than that it's totally dark.
Will do the link now

We have the bathroom light on that is across the hallway. Dont feel bad jak he might sleep better in there I know J does cause there is noise and we watch tv in bed with a timer on.

[Jakabella]

I hear you on the sleep thing! I have had both kids up multiple times a night for the last month! And now that H man is feeding every 4 hrs night and day I dont get a break at all! I think I average about 3-4 hrs a night now... sux!

[WeeMansMummy]

I have to shut his door cause of the cat so I've put a wee light in there. Just one of those little battery powered things. Well I'm gonna close my eyes now and hope for the best!

Thanx girls... Here's hopping we ALL get some sleep
