Good luck today Olive - let us know how Millie goes!
everything went well today!
she went to bed at 6.30pm, woke at 4am, took me until 5.30 to get her back to sleep, mind you id been awake since 3.15, i climbed back into bed at 5.15, alarm went off at 5.30am :rolleyes: so no feeds overnight, so hoping to continue that. id gotten her back down to one during the week.
it wasnt nice seeing her after the op, she was so upset,and very flushed, so i gave her lots of feeds (boobs were huge :o ) she hated the canula and bandaid... that seemed to be te worst part for her. but she bounced back ok after an ahour or so and had something to eat. was nice to get out of there too
So good to hear. You must be exhausted :hug:
:hug: Olive, what a brave girl!! I hope you see lots of improvement now!!
I wish I could come to melbourne and meet up with you all!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to be in sydney I think the first w/e in August though, who is in Sydney?????????? Maybe we can meet up!

Heaven - I am not in Sydney but am not far away - would love to meet you and your gorgeous DD. BellaBambina might be able to make it too!
Sorry can't remember what else was said :redface:
AFU - Sleep has improved heaps. There are still wake ups but we're not up for hours at a time re-settling anymore so everyone's getting more sleep :hooray: Finally. I feel like I'm just back to normal mummy tiredness, not the exhaustion of before. Last night was excellent - went down at 7pm and slept til 8am with one serious wake up at about 12:30am when DP gave him some cows milk. He had good day sleeps yesterday but only cause he fell asleep in the car and I kept driving - a trip that should have taken me 40mins took about 2hours :rolleyes: The things we do.....
Can't remember who asked about weaning but DS only has one feed per day - early in the morning on waking. I was thinking I could drop it soon but he seems very attached to it so will continue. Both bbies are still damaged and very painful during pretty much every feed, especially when he first gets on but he seems to need it and enjoy the one feed so I'll continue. It does get to me every now and then cause it's been over 2 months now of painful feeds and I don't think they're going to heal until he does wean :(
Olive - I am so glad that the surgery went well. It isn't nice seeing them come out of surgery. J was terribly upset coming out of his surgery.
Kaz - I am glad that sleep has improved.
E is quite sick. Been throwing up, was up for about 2.5 hours overnight last night, but I least I know why she was up - she was not feeling well.
Ok - really tired so am going to log off for tonight.
Sorry that I haven't sent personals to everyone. My brain isn't working properly.
Meg- Poor thing, I hate vomiting, clean up isn't much fun either. Have you gone and got that thyroid checked yet?
Kaz- so good to hear sleep is improving, your mental and emotional state must be feeling alot better. How is work going? has he settled in well to CC? With your nipples maybe try the lasinoh cream? I dunno you've prolly tried most things but I was just thinking if you put it on every few hours maybe by each feed they'll feel not so sore?
Olive- How is she doing? All over the op? Prolly more stressful for you than her! How is her sleeping going? Any improvements?
Ali- Have you spoken to anyone at work about the workload? Can you make any changes or is it a tough luck attitude there? You've been sounding exhausted so hope you get some break from all the stress. Hope you enjoyed your night out when A stayed with your mum.
OP- How is mat leave going? Lol, hope your getting some rest, I found the last stages pregnancy more exhausting then after the baby is born!
Holly- How is L? Improving? We've had virus's here too. Tiring. How is all your study going? Do you have exams coming up or just had some?
I've been unwell, caught some virus off Emily but its cause terrible vertigo, I spend my day feeling like I'm on a boat, unless I'm staying still, makes me nauseas sometimes. Went to dr she thinks could be blocked sinus causing fluid build up so on ABs and other stuff for the dizziness.
museum was really good, has childrens gallery with books, puppets, coloring, puzzles and outdoor area so great for kids, rest is interesting too. Best money spent!
Museam sounds like a good idea. How much was it Shell?
I ope your ears improve soon.
No I have been naughty and not gone to the doctors yet. I always seem to make excuses to not go...........
E slept right through last night, but woke up still terribly hot. Our digi thermometer is playing up so not sure what her temp is really. Anyone recommend a good digi thermometer???
I am at work, so better get off this site.
Morning ladies
Olive - so great that the op went well. I hope she has continued to recover well today!!! Must have been very tough for you! GL with the continued night weaning - it can be done!!!!
Lilima - DD has some sort of virus at the moment too I think. Yesterday arvo she was really grizzly and sooky and clingy, the last few nights have been bad, not good. But no vomitting here - I hope she has stopped that! I don't know how I'd cope cleaning up vomit in my current state... doing the normal cleaning is hard enough!!! I hope she improves quickly and you yourself are feeling better soon too.
Can't help with the thermometer - we got one in a gift pack (Safety 1st I think) and then I bought one that's shaped like a frog (lol) so I'm not actually sure what brand it is! We don't use it too often thankfully so I have no idea really. Have a good day at work!!
Shell - would you be up for another visit to the museum?? I'd love to go, I'm sure Isabel would love it too. Really enjoying mat leave so far (only my second official day today though!) but keeping DD amused is harder than I'd though it would be! She's getting more independent which is great but then when she's clingy its tough. Feeling really big and tired - getting resentful when she wakes at night, which is so not fair on her, its not like she's doing it on purpose. :redface: Bad mother...
Kaz - great that sleep is improving!!! And that you're feeling more normal again too! Not so great on the sore nipples - you're such a trooper to push through when its hurting you so much :hug: Be kind to yourself when you think about weaning, you have done such a great job!
Heaven - I'm in Syd possibly in Feb, does that count? :lol:
AFU: sleep hasn't been the greatest recently. Do you guys think number 1 baby clues in somehow that things are changing? Even as young as DD is?? Yesterday and today she has been super clingy and grizzly - ask Det, we had to leave playgroup early because she was so grizzly and I was getting a bit worried about her. Came home and gave her some panadol, she had a second long sleep, cuddled up with me though which she hasn't done since she was about 6mths old! Today she sat in my lap and watched playschool and ate sultanas - another thing she normally doesn't do.
So she's either getting sick, teething or somehow she knows things are changing and she's not going to have me all to herself soon... Or am I imagining it??
Sorry, haven't read everything but OMG guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

I am feeling a little nervous and cautious as I had a m/c before DD and I think it's pretty early. Will feel better in a week or so if AF doesn't show up, and then better after 12 wks and a scan. But not telling anyone yet so big shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........... esp on FB!!!!
It just seems sooo unreal. First try!! Which is crazy!! Took us a year and one m/c to get our beautiful DD. Stick little one STICK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow Heaven - that is wonderful!! Congratulations!!
Sending loads of sticky vibes!!
woooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooo heaven!! sensational news hun!!
OMG HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shhhhh
awesome news
!!!!!!!
Heaven- ooh congrats!!! :stickyvibesgirl: The line is pretty strong looking!
OP- I remember when I was big preggy with Emily and Ash suddenly got really clingy, wouldn't let anyone not even Df do anything for her, was always "mummy do it" and cry if anyone else tried, when I went off to work cried and cried even tho she'd been looked after by IL's for over a year at that stage, so yeah even tho Ash was a year older than I is I reakon they do sense something and start to feel unsettled.
Meg- how is E doing?
Not sure if I can make museum monday, might be doing something else seeing as Df is home from work.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I just realised that meet up is this monday- i thought it was next monday instead
i really think we should change it- the museum will be CHOCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is really bad on public hols!!!!!!!
maybe we should do another day the week after
what do you guys reckon?
Yay Heaven!!!!
E is slowly improving, although not eating very much, and very clingy!!! I really need to get myself checked out as well though - My mum commented on how she though it looked like the goitre in my neck looked enlarged. I jut hate all the Thyroid tests. I also need to go now that I have stopped breastfeeding to have the genetic breast cancer check. Both my mum and Aunt have had it, so need to find out if I carry the gene. If so, I am having a double mastectomy and reconstruction. My mum did it, and her boobs look awesome!
As far as meet up - During the school hols I am available on Mon, Thurs and every second Fri. I work Tues/Wed - But during school term J has kindy on a Monday and swimming Thursday morning.
Thanks so much guys!! I did another test this morning and it was even darker!! DD is going to be a great big sister!
