Congrat Hope & M+M on your FANTASTIC weight loss! thats amazing! I too have the saggy belly skin, look o funny with my stretch marks lol. How'd everyone fair up with the good ol stretchies? I only got them in the last two week when Xavier had a growth spurt, and they're only on the front of my belly (it was the bottom of my bump). I'm quite stoked I only got a small amount lol.
I dont fear the belly skin not tightening ever again, I think it will. IF I exercise LOL.

Hope, thats so AWESOME about Ayva bf!!! I really hope it continues and improves for you! That is a gorgeous ticker picture as well, I love it. And lol at the blonde moment, I had one of those today when I got my MCHN appointment times confused.
Oh and Xavier seems to overfed himself too, he's puked once the last 3 days after having big feeds and guzzling away really fast. He seems to puke huge amounts, it comes out his nose too the poor bugger! He got me this morning as well, AFTER I had a shower lol.

M+M, LOVE the ticker pic! Did you get some professional photos done? Its gorgeous!


Re the unsettled times & getting off to sleep, Xaviers unsettled time is 9.30-10.30pm. He can be in bed earlier, but he always wakes at 9.30 or so for a feed, then takes his time going back to sleep. Last night was the 'worst'. He's really not that bad, he doesnt cry or grizzle, he just fights going to sleep. His eyes will droop and he'll realise and wake himself haha. Last night he just didnt want to go to sleep. Rocking/patting wasnt working, he wanted boobie the entire time. He had a large feed, which sent him off to sleep but he woke when I put him down and wouldnt go off again. Then he just wanted to comfort suck. So I gave him a dummy. Funny how I wrote in my previous post he wouldnt take one, but he took it last night when I would tap it while putting it in his mouth. He fought sleep still a little with one type of dummy (i have 3 different types lol), but finally kept one in and even though he was wide eyed I put him to bed and he took himself off to sleep.
During the day I usually feed him, change bum, offer other side and when he finishes I just cuddle him for a few minutes and he goes to sleep. Or we put him on our chest, he goes out like a light like that! Well except for last night lol.

Afm, I stuffed up my MCHN appointment today I thought the appointment was 1pm, but it was 12pm! So now I have to wait until tuesday to get him weighed/checked etc.
And after Xaviers battle against sleep last night, he slept really well. Went 5 hours from 10.30 until 3.30, then was up at 6.30, and then didnt wake until 9.30. I'm living this awesome sleep up, who knows if it will last hahaha.

I also got pulled into doing a parenting class on the 6th. Y'know how a couple comes in and talks about their experiences with their newborn for the first few weeks? Yeah well thats going to be me LOL. Oh god. DP is adamant he wont be going lol. which I dont mind, he doesnt like talking in front of people. Its funny though because at our parenting class we laughed about how we would NEVER be that couple if we were asked. And now look! Lol. I couldnt say no when my midwife asked, I was a bit chuffed she thought to ask me lol. Will be interesting!

Urrrggggh and we were meant to have a BBQ with friends tonight. We bought a $70 gas bottle for the bbq, $80 worth of food, handmade all the salads & dressings ... and our friends forgot about it and organised for their family to go around to dinner
SO ANNOYED!

Well I think I'm going to go make a cuppa tea and eat some of the boston cake I bought for dessert tonight. Cant let it go to waste!
