Hi Tina! I hear you on the night feeding. I am going to take Phoebe's away cold turkey as soon as she is completely better. She is another that has been feeding 3+ times overnight (even prior to being sick).

Well as for our interesting week, it sucked! Most of you know (except for prob JLeigh) Phoebe was admitted to hospital Tuesday night. I called the after hours dr cause she still wasn't getting better on AB for a double ear infection and she gave me a referral and sent me to the hospital. After being in emergency until 3.30am we were admitted to the ward with suspected Viral Pneumonia. We had bloods (3 veins later) and a chest x-ray (which she was fine for). The next day we had a nasal swab taken and eventually she was found to have bronciollitis in addition to the ear infection. I was really scared for a while cause her oxygen levels weren't what they should be and as it was viral there wasn't anything that could be done except for suctioning the nose and checking her to make sure her breathing was ok. They let us out Thursday but I was told to watch her and bring her back if there was any sign of difficulty breathing.

She still has a shocking runny nose and an awful sounding cough but she looks well! her eyes aren't as black and she is brighter and talking again. To top the week off John was away so I did it by myself and had to organise babysitters for Tiana (thank goodness for my sisters!) I am praying this week is better.

On a lighter note however I once again have boobs the size of watermelons cause all she was doing was feeding hourly for 3 days and is now back to less!! I have had to dig breast pads out again.

Sleep - Well we have been one week without the dummy now!! Once she is completely better I will cut out night feeds and then live in hope she gets the point and starts to sleep longer. Waking 3+ times overnight is too much!! There is only so much coffee I can drink in one day

How is everyone going with birthday organising? I am getting there (sort of). I know what I need to do, now just have to do it lol!
Hope that everyone is well and babies are healthy! Here is hoping for a calmer week here
