[MummyNaomi]

Where would we be without our list Krystie - we cant steal that task from you

[~*Niadalla*~]

oo yay chatter.

I'm up with DS and DD is in bed whilst Hubs has a sleep. Geez Hubs has been good, and might I add that I've bene good to him too. LOL. Thursday night he got up adn changed DD both times, while I got to stay in bed and sleep between changing sides. Then DD and I slept until 10.30am. So I thought I'd pay him back today. hehe

How is everyone going? We are doing well. Had first MCHN home visit on thursday and at 8days of age, DD was pretty much back at her birth weight which was good. She's got something called a granuloma which is where her belly button hasn't completely healed before her cord stump fell off. MCHN says it's due to the hospital leaving the cord clamp attached and it pulls the cord stump away before it's ready. It's healing, and it's not as scary as it sounds.
My magical boobies juice seems to have nearly fixed the conjunctivitis that she had in both eyes aswell. Geez I'm glad I'm a second timer. The belly button thing would have freaked me out had it been DS. hehe.

Other than that, all is well. DS is teething (2 year old molars... the worst apparently) and has a cold and DD has got a bit of a stuffy nose so I'm suctioning the yummies out and squirting breastmilk back up there in the hope it will clear it up before it gets any worse.

Well, I've waffled on enough. Have a great day everyone


ETA: Oh and happy due date to me! haha

[Santosha]

Yaaaay! I'm here too. Ignoring the dates and sticking with you lovely ladies! Might not be around much for the next week though as hubby has been downloading software and so we have exceeded our monthly download limit - making the internet soooooo slow that it took me about 20 mins to get on this page!

All good here - nothing new to report really but that Ivy is STACKING on the weight and is now 8 pounds so the SCN are finally leaving us alone and are satisfied that she's past any concerns they had about her feeding and development. Hurrah!

Enjoy this beautiful time gals and sending you all some extra zzzzz's!

Hi girls, it's so good to see us slowly filling up the thread with babies Seven so far and hopefully a few more in the next few days!

And it's great to read that we all seem to be doing pretty well, and so do all our babies.

Kyson has had his 2 week check up with the MCH nurse (when he was 2 1/2 weeks old) and he had already gained just over half a kg since birth lol! He's definitely feeding well and gaining weight. It's just sad that my "little" boy is growing up so fast already.

We started having a bit of a problem with Kyson wanting to feed every time he woke up even if it had only been an hour or so since the last feed. So we have been trying to break that cycle with him. We know he's not hungry, so we are trying to stretch the feeds out a little by trying to settle him without feeding him. He's now feeding about every 2-3 hours, and last night he went a four hour sleep which was heaven, lol.

He's also been getting quite a bit of wind which has been giving him tummy aches. It breaks my heart when he's crying because of it. We have a tummy tub that he gets bathed in, and luckily he looooooooves it and it's great for easing his tummy aches and getting out the wind. The MCH nurse noticed that he has a mild "tongue tie". It doesn't affect his feeding at all, but may be contributing to him getting wind. We have to make an appointment for a 6 week check up at the paediatrician's office, so I'm going to get it checked again there. I really really hope that they say it's all fine, because I definitely don't want him to have a frenectomy if it can be avoided!

In general we are doing really well though. DH is being a huge help. He'll even get up in the middle of the night and settle Kyson during the night so I can get a little extra sleep, even if it means he paces around the house for an hour. Such a sweetheart! He's even done a bunch of cooking today that will be some of our meals during the week. That means that I don't have to worry about cooking dinner for the DSS's after school before DH gets home from work (he goes back to work on Tuesday and I'm a little nervous!).

My little darling is being an angel at the moment and is napping. He's getting more and more adorable each day and I just love him so soooooo much!
