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!
