Fuzzy, Milana must love her sling. So many poops! :o Had a big laugh at the shower explosion (sorry - I had one of those yesterday!), lucky it happened where it was easily washed off! Uni must be keeping you busy, what are you studying? Did you enjoy dance class and boxercise? I must start getting fit again.
Rosey, how are things going? Have you been able to put your snugglepuss down today? We usually do our groceries online too, so much easier; though we like to get fruit and veg from the market. RE: tummy time, W likes it first thing in the morning but gets cranky if we attempt later in the day. She prefers to be up on our shoulders and peer around. RE: domestic chores, I'm ashamed to say I do very little bar washing and tidying, with the occasional meal thrown in. My DH has been home for the past couple of months and has been doing everything! He usually does most of the housework though, he's a clean freak. I know, I totally lucked out :)
Peanutter, thanks for the tip about naps - that's a good idea. She's a pretty regular feeder but I might need to cluster them more in the evening to tank her up. It sounds like you and your DH have a great arrangement on the home front. Nice that your colleagues missed you.
Skye, hurrah for big smiles! She's a happy little camper, your Miss A. Have been clapping hands here but W just looks confused!
Nickers, how was your OB check? Everything ok? Great that Ryker is improving on the zantac, what a relief. Hope his chiro appointment goes well too. Your mother's day will be a blast and nice one on the new wallet. My DH has apparently bought something that he's quite excited about, and will be doing the first morning feed so I can sleep in, woot woot! That's present enough for me :)
sararose, great that H is getting into a bit of an evening routine. Love the cooing! Did you have a better time with the girls last night?
lct, so sorry the BF is causing trouble for you :hug:. It's rotten when you dread feeds. I highly recommend calling the ABA for some advice and maybe seeing someone in person if you can, you don't have to live with pain. Not sure what it could be but thrush is a possibility as it can be a bit different for everyone. I have itchy, sore nipples and W has a few little white patches in her mouth. In terms of fussiness, I agree it's probably a separate issue - he might be having a growth spurt perhaps, or a few off days...? Big, big hugs for you. You'll get through it, I promise.
Elocin, Connor is growing beautifully! Man he's cute, his cheeks are edible - probably even more so with those smiles, hey? Glad you enjoyed the visit from your parents. Hope your check up goes well tomorrow and you have a lovely day with your DH. RE: mine going back to work, I can't say I'm thrilled about it but feel so much better than in the early days that I think it'll be ok. I've been doing lots of outings with just W and I to get ready. It'll be good for DH to go back in a way, he needs some adult time and actually loves his job - so we can both start getting into a bit of a 'new life' routine. But ask me again on Monday!
AFM: thanks for the thrush tips gals. Started Nilstat and Daktarin yesterday, W hates the Nilstat so have been putting a bit of Daktarin on her dummies as well. Hasn't been affecting feeds but it's uncomfortable and I really don't like seeing her with it, so fingers crossed it clears up quickly. Had a rough day yesterday, the little muppet got over-tired in a nanosecond and only had a couple of short day naps. She was impossible to settle, holding her just gets her more worked up so there were hours of putting down, picking up, putting down, dummy in, shooshing etc - not even a walk in the Ergo helped. Finally conked out for her long sleeps at 8:30pm and then went through til 12:30, 4:30 and 7:00. DH had her for three hours (with a couple of bottles of EBM) in the afternoon while I saw The Avengers with a buddy, it was amazing! It felt really weird not having her with me, first time we've been apart since she was born. Needless to say I checked in on DH constantly, but of course he totally handled it despite her being very fractious. Thought my boobs would explode by the time I returned, LOL.
Took W to the GP today for her six-week check and immunisations. She's put on another 500 g in the past fortnight, so that's fantastic; hasn't put on anything length-wise but GP wasn't concerned, said it could be error in the way they measured, different stage of growth spurt etc. Bub also had a mild rash on her torso which seems to be viral, she has been a bit snuffly/coughy the past couple of days. The immunisations were horrid, my darling girl screamed so hard she couldn't breathe and I had to hold back the tears. She's been conked out in her bassinette for the past hour, though I found it very hard to stop cuddling her after that hideous experience!
