AJP - Can you update the babies list in the first post please? Jacob was 11 days late. Thanks hun.
Nai - LOL at no news! That is a good thing. Yay for J settling herself too.
Shell - Try not to worry about Es weight. I know its hard not to but I found the more I stressed about how much Jacob was "getting" at each feed, the less he seemed to drink because I was so focused on it and trying to get him to stay on each side 20 mins. Nearly drove me bonkers. But then he turned around and put more on next weigh in anyway. I'm sure she's getting what she needs - it could be a growth spurt atm and she is working to increase your supply. If it's any consolation, Jacob has been screaming at me most feeds for the past few days. I am over it and now just taking him off when he starts (if he's had both sides). He feeds every 2 hours from mid morning anyway!
Ellie - good to hear from you. Take care.
Ali - Sounds like you both had different priorities that day. Enjoy your trip away - we'll miss you.
SJ - A physio visited you? Wow. I didn't get anything like that and I went private! No one told me anything about post-op care or recovery and I wasn't with it enough to ask. I think they put me in the 'educated/done a lot of reading' box and decided I knew what I was doing which is total bulldust!!
AFM - Not much to report here. Jacob screaming most feeds now in between actually feeding. Not sure what the go is there. He's happy before (usually), during nappy change in the middle and afterwards so
kaz did a physio come see you in hospital????
i had physio come twice, dietician due to the bloodloss and a counceller about PND does your local public hospital have a physio department?? maybe give them a call/
not sure why jacob would be screaming, might be the letdown been slow, have youtried feeding him in the bath?? makes you both nice a relaxed.
nai no news is good news!! great to hear your going to the gym!!
ellie lurk away hun!! i do plenty of that!!
shell only about half our sleeps are longer than one cycle, somethimes im lucky and she grumbles for a few minutes then goes back to sleep, or stays asleep, one cycle goes far too quickly!
ali glad you guys had a chat yay for a holiday!!
were doing well!! millie is sooooo cute DH and FIL have been assembling the girls cubby house which is now done.
tried millie with a bottle of EBM yesterday and she wouldnt have a bar of it so i got a different bottle today and she took it, will try again later with some more!
Shocking day here, Em screaming, won't sleep unless held and even thats a battle. She has few short happy periods. Df annoyed me, he was out this morn and I called him to come home cause I couldn't cope with Em screaming and being unable to do anything for Ash. He comes home and lies on couch and does nothing, I ask him to get Em to sleep and he hands her over to friend of ours to do while he naps on the couch! I don't think he's ever settled her. Like now he was cuddling her she got whingy and hes just dumped her in the bouncer and gone outside for smoke.
Shell - you hit the nail on the head. I read the twilight saga (2000pages-ish in a week). have started reading them again to fill in the time.
DH has just bought me the first three harry potter books to read.
Hope your DH/DP have got a great Mother's day lined up for you all next sunday. DH was talking about taking us to a hotel, so I could order room service! the only way I'd get brekky in bed is if someone makes it!!
I've also told him I want flowers -figure I will just tell him what I want - make it nice and easy for him!
Sorry you had a bad day Shell. DF needs to pull his weight.
Ali - How are you going after your little altication with your partner?
Hmm Kaz, not sure what the issue would be. Emilia is now really fussing on the boob and crying and pulling off etc, but give her a bottle and she takes the feed happily.
Hi Ellie, nice to hear from you.
Nai - Did you attend a physio session while in FPH? As thinking about it, there was a girl in my session that had just had a baby called Juliette. I was in a session with another girl with really long hair that had twins. The twins were in care though.
Emilia is not sleeping well at all during the day. Really not settling well at all. Getting a fairly ok stretch of up to 7 hours overnight, but after the 7 hour stretch she was up pretty much after that. Then at about 8am she did the most exposive poo!!!!
I have made a referral to the sleep school for an instay, as she is just fussing so much at feeds as well now, I think we would benefit by looking at the whole picture.
Sounds like you both had different priorities that day. Enjoy your trip away - we'll miss you.
