Sorry to hear so many restless bubs… particularly Connor, chin up little chap. Lets get things back on track for your lovely Mum tonight ok? And Addison, your marathon awake period was very clever, but no repeat today please!
You multiple mums are amazing, seriously. I know I could achieve a lot more if only I could just stop playing words with friends, but nothing like what you guys manage!
We actually had a cracker of a night, so not feeling too bad today at all. The past 3 or 4 nights instead of just a blanket we have used either a kiddopotamus or love to swaddle, and the difference in Yves sleep is amazing. He settles so much quicker after each feed and sleeps uninterrupted for longer. Have also been trying to encourage longer feeds, which he seems to need, but often takes himself off the boob too quickly. Because of the intense nipple pain I hadn’t been encouraging him to relatch, but I realise we have to get it sorted so trying to persist and it is really paying off.
Other than that, things have been going ok, he is so delightful when alert and happy, and the gummy smiles are almost there. DF is such a goofball that he seems to encourage most of them with silly fart noises and kissing Yves’ mouth and nose, who appears all bug-eyed and horrified for a split second, then smiles and waits for the next kiss to come. Other than that his favourite thing to do is just lie in his bouncer and stare at the lights with a loony expression on his face. Meh, whatever works!
MCHN appt tomorrow so will be interesting to find out his new weight and height, as he seems to be 1cm longer every day! We post quite a few pics on FB as all our family are overseas and they are alarmed at how quickly he seems to be growing up. Boo, I want my little muppet to stay this tiny for a lot longer! (Mylitta I really understand now what you meant about dressing them in sleepsuits to try and maintain their ‘babyness’ for longer!)
Elocin – thanks for the lowdown on CS stuff – DTD is definitely not going to happen til I can at least touch my own scar without pain. I was a little over vigorous dabbing it dry with a towel after my bath last night and it hurt like hell on one end. It’s a horrendous feeling, creepy really.
Hope you all have a good day – will be back later on to catch up with persies x
