bec - i loved the midwives in the labour ward as well, i thought they were great! i got a bit lucky with the maternity ward because i ended up in a room by myself & the midwives i had were nice. i still left after about 36 hours just because i felt like i wiuld be so much happier at home.
hi everyone
sorry i havent been on in a while, but how is everyone and there bubs going???
amiteal is great she has a few problems with wind but other than that she is a very very easy bub im very lucky, during the day she feeds every 3 hours but or a night its every 5!!!!
and she is finally the size of a normal new born lol she is 4 weeks old tomorrow and weighs 3.3kg!!!! lol she is still sooooo small ppl ask me how many days old she is!!!!! hehehe.
I wouldn't worry too much LF, we were also asked to come in at 3 months, I think it's pretty standard even though it doesn't get recorded in the blue and book. And by the sound of things your nurse isn't very concerned.
Sounds like you might have a jealous boy on your hands jess... I'm sure it will only be a temporary thing though. I remember when my sister had her youngest, I actually heard her eldest (who was about 3 at the time) whisper to her that she hated her, but now they are the best of friends!
Sarah I hear you, it is so frustrating when they won't sleep and you know they'll get over tired
Glad to hear the shots went well Jetta. I'm having Ash's doe next Tuesday and hoping they go as well as Sam's.
AFM Ash went 7.5 hours between feeds last night which was fantastic, I got a good 6 hours straight sleep which I don't think I've had since before I got pregnant! We had his 8 week check up today. He's just under 5kg, 4.935kg actually, funny I had been sure he would be there by now, but at least he is pretty close and it's a 1.1kg gain from his 4 week checkup. He's also grown another 5cm and is now 58cm. Everything else was good, so I'm a happy mummy! We also started mothers group yesterday which was really good. I enjoyed meeting some other mums with babies around the same age.
Congrats to everyone who is reporting great things about their check ups! Everyone seems to be gaining weight well and growing well too! Great jobs ladies!
Miss excited - so great you had a good nights sleep! Last night I fed at 10pm, he normally then wakes around 3.30pm so I stayed up watching the late night movie, of course he then woke at 2pm!!! That will teach me! But great stats on how well he is growing.
Lotus flower- your stats looking great too. Hope all is fine with his skull. ALways best to mention things in case they are over looked and get that extra check but hopefully everything is fine. It sounds like all his other skills are developing well!!
jess - it does sound like jealousy at the moment. I don't have any other children so I have no advice, but hopefully he will adjust soon!
sloane - i can totally relate to you. Sam is perfect at night but during the day is a nightmare. Today he was waking every 15 minutes and I think I have driven myself in sane as all I have done today is feed and try to get him to sleep. He goes into his cot very upset and throws his legs around a lot or seems settled and then 10 minutes later is howling. I am trying to eliminate things, he was spitting and chucking up alot today so maybe something I ate last night or something, I have no idea. It can be really frustrating as you can't get anything done.
So apart from that, Sam is starting to lift his head and strengthen his neck well. He is kicking his back legs out alot and smiling at me and starting to make some lovely noises. He does spit up alot and goes through a fair few clothes!! But day sleeps have tormented me this weekend and my husband was away so I had to do every sleep all by myself. When I wrap him and then pick him up, he starts arching his back and whinging and then he settles a bit, I put him in the cot and he starts howling. I thought it might have been some reflux but I really have no idea. The waking and crying at every 15 minute intervals today has really done my head in...

Grace had her check up and is now 5.1kg and 55cm long. She's not growing as quick as her sister and we think she's going to be very petite. She is really taking an interest in the world around us and chatting to people who hold her. The nice thing is she is going to bed at 6.30pm, waking for a feed around 1.30am then feeding again at about 6am - it means DH and I have time together in the evenings and time to sleep! I had a bath with her tonight and it was soo nice to cuddle her in a warm bath feeding and playing. Dh took some photos but I don't think we can really show them around ;-)
happy fathers day to all the dads out there hope u had a great day. my older son is doing better only attacking anton once or twice a day now. he is back with his dad tonight. lastnight i had all 4 kids at home it was the 1st time ive been alone with all 4 overnight cant believe i remained saine.
Can I ask everyone roughly how long their little ones are staying awake for during the day? Everyone says that Sam should be starting to stretch to more 1 1/2 hours but I find that he is really only going around 45 minutes and then starts getting fussy and kicking his legs and being unhappy...is that alright??
