Hi girls,

Hi Tilda I hear you on the noisy DH thing!!!! Mine is the same, noisy getting in and out of bed, noisy talking in his sleep, and coughing, he has asthma AND still smokes so is always coughing. Yesterday I told him off for coughing (which may have been a bit harsh) but Harry is still being an absolute shocker with his feeds, he's distractible and fussy about how he'll feed it can take an hour for him to finish a feed sometimes depending on his mood, and DP knows it's a problem. So anyway I got him to start feeding pretty well when DP comes into the room to use the computer and starts coughing (probably just been out for a smoke) and it was all over Harry heard him, pulled off the boob started whinging wanted to sit up, then wanted to suck again, but pulled off straight away, so I took him into the bed room to lie down to feed as that sometimes works, but no he kept grizzling, DP says "what's wrong?" I snapped "You coughed! This is all because you coughed!" It then took another 45 mins before he would finish the feed then he was over tired so wouldn't settle properly for a sleep Grrrr.

So Matilda is still using you as a human dummy too huh? Harry does that as well but mostly at nigh from about 8pm he would just suck if I let him, he finishes a feed then wants to suck but doesn't latch properly sometimes (because he's not feeding) which is very OUCHY at times. I really wish he would find his thumb again, he likes to lie down to feed a lot too which is hurting my back I think we need a new mattress.
I hope the spews and poos stop soon!!

Hi Suzi That's good news that the day sleeps are coming along I'm sure the night time will follow, and it sounds like your sweet little boy is coming back

Hi Rose I was pretty happy to find the Slumbersac seller I get excited about bargains! They're cute designs too. I might check out the Slumbersac site too.
Sounds like Harry and Liam are on the same sleep wave length, Harry will only sleep about 30 - 40 mins through the day, some mornings I might get lucky and get an hour and a half sleep but that's not regular. He also needs to be amused and is very grizzly it is very exhausting I'm really feeling it the last week or so, and even worse today as the last 2 nights have been crap! He was up every hour night before last and last night was hourly except for between 12.30 and 3am he only slept for 15mins and wanted to feed, oh what I would do for some sleep!
I'm sorry your pain is getting bad, you said you're on Zoloft, my friend has recently started on an anti depressant which is pretty much the same as Zoloft (the generic brand maybe?) one of the reasons she has started on it besides her depression, is menopause (she had a hysterectomy 2 yrs ago and her ovaries have basically shrivelled up and gone now) the doctor was saying that they quite often use Zoloft for menopausal women as it actually helps with some of the hormonal imbalances such as hot flushes, so maybe the way it works is giving you hot flushes?? If it works differently to other anti depressants and can stop hot flushes then maybe it can give you hot flushes too? Just a thought, but I hope you get it sorted soon, I'm only sleep deprived with achy muscles and I'm nearly at the end of my tether, I think you're doing a fantastic job with no sleep on top of your arthritis and depression, keep up the good work I admire you!

Hi BS Here's hoping Eva's cold clears up for you It's not effecting her ears is it? I don't think they let you fly if it's effecting their ears the pressure is no good, so clear those boogers and keep up the fluids to get it cleared up
As for your tiny boobs I'm jealous! I have D cups normally which I'm not a fan of, but now with BF I've got an F cup I hate them!! So enjoy the smaller size I'd swap you anyday But great that they're not sore any more, and that you're starting to drop the weight and feel yourself again.
Construction wise, they laid the slab on Friday and the framework and windows are supposed to be delivered tomorrow, we're a bit behind schedule maybe a week due to rain and public holidays the builder is sending us a revised finish date this week but I would say there's still at least 5 weeks until it's done, and it can't come soon enough! Will be great!

Well Harry's been asleep for 45mins now, he had a terrible night last night, as I grumbled about earlier, so maybe he's going to make up for it now, I wish he'd let me know so I could go and have a sleep. Usually he wakes up with in 5mins if I go and lay down though.
I am so tired and over it the last few days he's been very full on through the day and then not sleeping well at night just tops it off. Even his usual 2 hourly feeds were tiring enough but this waking every hour or more is wrecking me.

I feel like this has been a long and raving post so I'll put you all out of your misery now and sign off.

Hi to everyone that has been quiet I hope you're all doing well!
