Wow, these bubs are certainly keeping us on our toes aren't they!

Buffy, I hope the AD's kick in quickly for you. Im really glad your GP was able to help you and hope that PANDA provides you with a good support network too. And, of course we're all here to lend an ear, or a shoulder, or help in whatever way we can.

Nickers, Yay for smiles! I've had a couple of 'windy' ones and am hanging out for the real thing now. I hope you and your DH have more luck at dinner tonight than you did at lunch, what a let down that would've been. I think we're going to have to take a leaf out of your book and call on Pa to babysit DS1 a bit in the coming months so that we can get out an enjoy a few meals out together, it's been a very rare thing for the last couple of years and I really miss doing that.

lct76, Yay for great weight gains! Sounds like you have a great relationship with your IL's, I struggle having mine stay with us at the best of times, let alone with a newborn in the house LOL! Enjoy your night out tomorrow, sounds like fun!

Sararose, I saw the pic of Helena on FB, sooooo cute. And even better if it helps her sleep better.

Elocin, I really hope you get a better night tonight

Mylitta, I completely understand the jumpsuit logic! I'm doing the same thing here LOL. I think we've probably got another week in 0000, if we're lucky. They're already looking a little short in the arms and legs.

Zilly, sleeping through, lucky you! Did you keep waking up regardless? How did the car trip go for you today?

to everyone else, hope you and your bubba's are doing wonderfully.

As for us, we've had a couple of good days. The MCHN came yesterday and Cooper has put on 350 grams in 5 days. He was 3.92 kg, so already 100 grams over his birth weight. Ash was very slow to gain weight to begin with, so this was a huge relief for me. I'm feeling so much more relaxed now and was able to stop waking Coop's every 3 hours overnight for feeds last night. I did a dream feed at 10pm, then he woke at 3am for a feed, and then again at 6am. I can't tell you how good it was to get that stretch of sleep.

I also had a much better day with Ash today. The last couple of days he's been pretty grumpy with me, I know that it's just his way of adjusting and the fact that I can't pick him up is really hard for him, but it still makes you really sad. But today I was able to spend some good quality time with him first thing in the morning which set us up for a good day. It was so nice to have my happy boy back. Hopefully he returns tomorrow.

Anyway, gotta run, DH is getting grumpy waiting for me to watch survivor! Sending lots of sleep vibes everyones way.
