Hi all. Back from an awesome week skiing. Well, we've been back for 2 weeks now, but have only just gotten around to BB again. Not that I've been extremly busy, but you've got to be in the mood to sit and type!! The week was great, but I was in tears a couple of days, but no one could see under my big goggles, because I was suffering terribly without Lily, and the fact that she picked up a cold in the day care down there didn't help at all. I felt like a terrible mother cause I was off skiing and she was in some strange place with a stuffy nose. But other than that we all had a great time. She is pretty much over her cold now, just a little stuffy every now and again. Oh except for the car drive down there NEVER AGAIN. We ended up flying home. The second day was better than the first, but the poor little muffin just wanted a lay down and kick, and the 30 min stop every 2.5 hours wasn't enough. So now she hates the car, although she is slowly getting better again. I think she is worried when we put her in there that she's never going to get out again!! Although we're heading to Byron Bay next weekend, so maybe we'll go at her bed time so she can sleep the whole way. Hopefully!!

Her sleeping seems to be all over the place. Some nights she wakes me just once around 1.30pm (that's the usual), but some nights she'll wake up around 12 and then again around 4. Last night was just 1am, so that's good.

Went to see a friend on Tuesday who had a baby. He was born bigger than Lily, but I couldn't get over how small he was. I really didn't think that my gorgeous little girl had grown SO much

How are your bubs feeding during the day (the BF ones)? Lily is on 2.5 hours most of the day, unless she sleeps longer. But sometimes I really need to play with her lots to get her mind off food at 2 hours! She usually have 30-60 min sleeps during the day and then is awake for around 1 - 1.5 hours before her next sleep and her 2.5 hourly feeds just fit in around that. Interested to see what routine your bubs have.



Jenushka - she went fine with her immunisations. A little more clingy than normal, but other than that, all fine. Is Lila still doing 9 hours at night? That day that she screamed for 4 hours ... are you BFeeding? Did you have too much coffee or chocolate? I don't drink tea or coffee, but too much chocolate make Lily very unsettled.

Good idea that you're introducing the EBM to Lila. I gave Lily EBM in her first month of life, but then had no need for it, so stopped. Then a week before we went skiing tried her again, and she wouldn't take it!!! So she's almost got the hang of it again, but still fusses a little bit. I try to give her one bottle of EBM a day if I can just to keep her in the habit. How many ml's does Lila take. Lily is taking 70-100ml.


Elliskirsty - Lily sometimes settles herself in her cot (in the middle of the night always), but during the day I normally pat her bum until she is struggling to keep her eyes open and then i leave.

Lollybaby - we use disposables. I have an 11 year old, but we're not using any protection, so we'll just fall pregnant as soon as it happens - although I have been told you need to have sex for that to happen!!! I am also LOVING being a mum. So much more than I remember last time.

Jo - Hi and welcome!! Erika was born one day before my little Lily. What part of Australia are you in?

CB - I know you can get helmets for the flat spot on their heads. Perhaps look into that if you think it's bad enough. Can't wait to hear all about your wedding!!



Well, hopefully I'll keep up to date with the posts from now on.

Hugs to you and your bubs
