oh Eluned thanks for the immunisation reminder! i am so vague at the moment! went to the butcher yesterday and nearly walked out without th meat i paid for, duh!
Caroline is still struggling with her mid morning and afternoon sleeps tending only to cat nap, but i have been able to get a few hours at lunchtime with some initial help with resettling her (much like the evening) last night she slept from 8.30pm (takes 1/2 an hour of us going in to resettle her a few times) and she's just woken at 5.30am a very hungry girl eating and farting like crazy at the same time!! i hope her table manners are better later.
I'm not looking forward to immunisation, have heard that giving panadol just before it helps.
Morning ladies.. our little princess is 8wks today, hasn't it gone so quickly!
We have a MCHN appt at 10:30 and i can't wait, she is in 000 for ALL clothes and some look like if she grows any longer they wont fit
Ava was in 000 from 3mths til about 5mths and Z is nearly out of them by 2mths, i have nicknamed her Miss Piggy
Well she's awake now, will come back and do personals later... hope your all well!
The MCHN had to DOUBLE CHECK her length as she couldn't believe she had grown 3.5cm in the last wks, she said most do 2cm if that at this age but wait theres more, in the last 3 days lots of wet nappies but not as many dirty and sleeping a bit more, MCHN seems to think she is only in the middle or start of a growth spurt!
She is now 50th% for EVERYTHING and i am so so excited... as an example DD1 was:
W: 5130g , H: 59.5 and Head: 40.5 ... but wait, that was at 4 MONTHS OLD!
So by her next appt if she keeps growing at this rate she will catch up to her sister in no time.. i think by the time Z is 1 and A is 2 they might be sharing clothes, i am so excited.. A took so so long to grow and now Z is growing like a weed!
Sorry so long and no personals as yet, have to start cleaning and packing for my QLD w/end with Z.. ohhh i'm so excited!
Leah, Jacksons in some 00 now Some of his 000 fit but you can forget about his 0000, I think they lasted like a week!!
We have a CHN appointment today at 2.30 so I"m interested to see how much he's put on this fortnight... everyone keeps saying he's in a good paddock haha. Makes me feel proud that I'm keeping him cranking off me, iykwim
Jacksons been sleeping in 4 hour blocks during the night mostly. A few nights ago he slept 8 hours straight, (i woke up and thought he'd died) and now I've had a taste of that I wish he'd do it all the time but I think it was a one off haha!!
He's also started rolling, too!! At exactly 6 weeks. DH and I were watching him sort of half flick himself up, then all of a sudden he was on his back Thought it might have been a fluke so we put him back on his belly and he did it again, the little rat bag! He's done it a couple of times since.
Well, I must mosey and do some chores while I can! Sorry I've been MIA, will try keep up more.
Go Jackson... he's a fast learner... keep up the great work Teagz.
Z had rolled twice, the first time i thought Ava must have moved her, she did that about a week ago but hasn't since.. THANK GOD.
Zarava - Caroline hasn't had as many dirty pants lately and went 2 days with only wet nappies. She's sleeping a lot today also (possibly because she's been either in the car or in my arms but now that we're home she's also just fed and was content to sit in her rocker for all of 5 minutes before cracking it and has now passed out in her bassinet!). would this be another growth spurt? I didn't know that lack of dirty nappies would be a sign? she's not fed any extra.
Teagz - well done to Jackson, I can't believe he's rolling already!!
Caroline is in 000's also, she's so long now! there are some pumpkin patch and esprit things in 0000's that are still too big though so it must just be their brand that is a bit off in size or just those particular outfits.
Teagz- I tried little A in a Bonds wondersuit 00 yesterday and it fit albeit a bit baggy. Bonds brand tends to be a size smaller than other brands. I love the easy suit (when they grow a little bigger) and was sad being a smaller fit that size 2 didnt last too long.
Oh and I am getting a healthy appreciation for Bonds clothing.
Any ladies who have had C/S, still not had the feeling return to your tummy. I still have quite a dead patch.
Illey- Maybe Caroline is just slowing down on the dirty nappies. Or it could be a growth spurt. Sometimes they say when the nappies stop being constantly dirty but still plenty wet (and also increased feeding) that a growth spurt is happening.
Is anyone on facebook? Please feel free to add me. I am Jenny Metcalf. Pic is of me and my 2 girls while in hospital still.
i hope her table manners are better later.
and i am so so excited... as an example DD1 was:
