Hi Ladies,

Just popping in to say hi and do a quicky post, very tired today.....

Teresa, I'm sorry to hear the news about your mum. Big huhs hun. I'm glad they've caught it early though, I wish her all the very best in her recovery.

Krisvee, it's good to have a little cry sometimes, it does wonders for the stress!! Hope you're feeling better now, you are a true star hun, looking after 4 children including a newborn AND finding time/energy to cook tea!! I feel so bad as I can't even handle looking after one baby!!!

Missawah, I'm so happy Harri is doing so well. Cam also went ferral at 2 weeks of age, a big growth spurt they told me!!

InSom, Cam has this thing where he looks like he's choking but at the hossy they told me it's the flem he doesn't know how to bring up yet. He's also been congested too, I thought he had a cold but I think it's just excess milk, that makes thim make these gurgling noises....what the????

b, fingers crossed that Karicare Gold works for your little man!!

Hi to everone else, sorry for not replying to everyone...

I'm struggling here a bit. I have had another horrible day yesterday, Cam didn't sleep much at all yesterday and was a horror in the evening. It 's times like that that I question myself as a mum. I can't even settle my own baby. I feel like a failure. Today I had some tears too, just before DF got home so he wouldn't see. I ask myself, am I a good mum?? Was I really ready to be a mum and have this massive life changing experience?? I don't think it's baby blues anymore, I'm scared it's the begining of PND. I'm seeing my psychologist in a couple of weeks time, I will have a chance to talk to her about it.

On a good note, Cam had a better day today. At the moment though, we have one good day and the next not so good. So of course I'm expecting a bad one tomorrow
I had a visit to the maternal health nurse yesterday. He's put on 630 grams in two weeks, so she said I'm slightly overfeeding him ATM. That would explain the little chucks he has after every feed and the unsettling periods. He weighs 4.43 kg now, big chubba. I simply increased his feeds from 125 ml every 3/4 hours to 140 ml in the last week or so. So now I have gone back to 125 ml.
