Re Sizes –
Ciaran has been to long for the 0000 for some time now, so is in 000 but edging towards 00 soon as cloth nappies require a bit more space in the bottom end!
It is amazing the difference in brands for eg. Target is a lot smaller than Big W.

Re Drinking and Breastfeeding –
Since early on I will have a wine after a feed in the evening on occasion, however I have less than a ¼ glass (cant drink much more than than after 12 months of not drinking – it makes me to light headed otherwise!) so yeah im all for a sanity drink ladies. Plus if its with a meal (which I always do) the effect will also be less. Funny story though, once I was sipping on DH’s wine while eating, then bubs wanted a feed and I forgot to stop. So im sipping while feeding him – a huge vomit followed that feed – suffice to say I didn’t do that again (poor bubs).

Re – DH not being supportive/ bad mothers day experiences –
For those having challenges with you DH, a good long frank discussion may be in order. If they don’t truly appreciate (can any man??) what its like to be a mum (regardless of how many children you have), maybe we need to educate them a little in how we are feeling.

Re BFRP –
Polly - I also need to stop eating chocolate, icecreams and baking cakes, but I cant stop craving them just yet. Im so hungry! At least im exercising so that’s something

Thrilled – did you leave Willow in the sling for at least 10 mins to give her time to settle? Ciaran fussed the first 2 times but I just walked and jiggled and then he was fine. Since then he LOVES IT!


UPDATE ON US.
So our normal night routine for weeks has been feed at 1030, then again 230, then 630.
But the last 2 nights Ciaran has decided to wake up intermittently and feed almost twice as often. Gotta say im feeling tired as a result.. plus DH has been working afternoons this past week so Im home alone with bubs till about 10pm (can make preparing dinner etc difficult, and certainly makes me less inspired to eat well when im alone and hungry with a whingey/tired/hungry bub).

However on the upside, he has just started feeding less frequently during the day (still adjusting to this, its still weird) about 3/4hrly. And is also sleeping HEAPS during the day which he never did before. This has all been the past 4 days so will see if it continues into a new routine or is just a growth spurt…

For mothers day DH made me breakfast in bed and gave me a card. Nothing to flash (like an eternity ring!!) but it was lovely as I also went for a run and left Ciaran with him – was nice to just have some time to myself for the morning.

Ive also started to revise my HypnoBirthing study so I can start practicing in another month and bring some money in – we have recently spend over $3k which was not planned on various things that have broken down etc so some extra cash would be great now my paid leave at work has finished.

Aside from that we are all well and healthy, and approaching 2.5 months on Monday. Wow time is flying….
