Hi lovely ladies :D
I haven't been in for a while... just soooo busy at home at the moment, and end of financial year is just not good when I do the books for our business & I spent so long in hospital on bedrest & now have a newborn!!! (I'm just a tad behind :o)
So good to hear everyone is doing so well!
Crumpet - Congrats on the news of a little girl on her way!! How exciting! And I agree with Sunshine, a sea of dolls & pink doesn't sound so bad... it would put a nice breath of fresh air through this house :rofl: (DH, 17yr old brother in law, 12yr old DS, DS2... and even the dog is male, lol!)
Hoping your pregnancy is going perfectly xxx
Yules - Glad you're back in Singas safely.... is it good to be back or are you missing home?
Peanutter - How is it being back at work? I'm struggling some days to just stay awake, so I have no idea at all how you'd be doing it!!! Super mum :)
Sorry for the lack of personals, I'll try & keep more up to date from now on, lol.
As for us - things here are great :D
Nothing much exciting to report - Carmelo is putting on weight nicely & seems to be catching up from his teeny tiny start!
I'm off to weigh him in a little while, but he's been gaining approx 140g each week which I'm pretty happy about considering he's exclusively breastfed.
We've had a few issues with cracked nipples etc (wow it will be great when it warms up just a little.. my nipples feel like they could just snap off everytime I open my bra!) but all is good now.
I also was diagnosed with Reynauds Disease of the nipple (nipple vasospasm)... basically where the blood vessels clamp when you get cold... its extremely painful but seems to be easing a little now!
The nipples just basically throb and ache during and after feeding, and makes latching on really painful.
My mum gets it in her fingers & toes during the winter & it can be hereditary... lucky me got it in my nipples :rolleyes:
It made breasfeeding really challenging for a while - but between the nipple shield & panadol I got through it!
They are still hurting, but nowhere near as much... I did get the antibiotics from my GP as well, but only took them for about 3 days before I stopped, as the side effects were too much for me! (Light headed, strong headaches, nausea, feet swelling & fatigue)... couldn't run this household with all of the side effects happening!
Otherwise, Master Carmelo is wonderful!
He's slowly stretching out his feeds during the night (feeding him at midnight and he wakes around 5am)... if he could do another hour it would be perfect!
I've found our witching hour is between about 4.30-6pm, is anyone else having this as well?
I'm just making him happy in that period by a little feed (if its not feeding time), some nappy free time & then a bath... by the end of it, he's usually happy again!
I'm still so clucky - have had a few girlfriends announce pregnancies over the past month and I'm jealous?!?!?! Crazy, I know but I could fall pregnant again right now & be completely fine with it!!!
I have to say I'm missing my belly as well (the movements, not the fat as its all still there, just not quite as firm, lol!)
I had great plans of getting back into my Wiifit once I passed the 6 week check, but have discovered that in some time during my pregnancy, one of the boys have broken my beloved Wii :(
Not worth getting it fixed as we bought it when they very first came out, so I'll be buying myself a new one over the next few weeks & get back into it again.
So I think thats all I can think of for now!
Cannot believe my baby is 12 weeks old today! Time flies.
Lots of love to everyone xxx

hi there!
well, in short work is going well. it's obviously an adjustment process, and I'm trying to be creative about how I can spend almost 2hrs a day pumping without it eating too much into my work output!
I call home pretty often to see how my men are doing, and it's great to see them and have a cuddle when I get home.
I'm pretty tired, though!
Josh has taken it completely in his little stride. But he has taken to waking up a few times overnight ... he's not hungry - he settles straight back doiwn with some settling or his dummy, but it does interfere with our sleep a lot - especially mine, as I only get to sleep from around midnight to 5.50am ...
ideas??
-
Hi Ladies
Seems like we are all busy busy & going well.
Peanutter, I don't have too many suggestions to help immediately. To me, what you are doing will eventually reduce Josh's wake up's. He is probably just adjusting to Mummy not being there all the time & looking for attention, its just he doesn't realise its your sleep time!
I am having attachment issues with Aly. Ever since I left her with Daddy for a whole day a week and a half ago for a wedding, she has been extremely clingy & cries every time I leave the room for 2 minutes. She has gone from sleeping for 4 or 5 hours during the day to barely sleeping for 2 (& not all at one time); and even when I am trying to make dinner or have a shower & she is with Daddy she screams. I know she is just feeling unsure & keep giving her lots of hugs & attention. I'm hoping this will pass quickly & she will remember that Mummy loves her & will always be there.
We move house in 22 days so I am imagining this will upset her a bit too. Though I'm hoping the fact she will still have familiar bed & furniture etc will be some comfort.
Hope you are all well & its not too cold for you. The westerly winds have been blowing a gale here & making it yukky.
Speak soon.
-
Hi ladies :hello:
Peta: Good luck with your moving and Aly's clingyness. Lots of hugs sounds good :)
Peanutter: Glad to hear your return to work is going well. I'm sorry, but I don't have any suggestions for Josh's waking through the night. Maybe it is as Peta said and is him adjusting to your return to work. Hope he settles back down for you.
Holly: Sorry to hear about your nipple troubles. Glad to hear it is settling down for you now. Carmello is such a little cutie. Glad to hear he is growing in leaps and bounds. I'm hearing you on the clucky side. DH & I were originally talking about leaving TTC for #2 until after christmas this year, but we are tossing around the idea of saying, bugger it lets start now.... I'm not too convinced on the idea as my downstairs region is still recovering & I would like to try to get into a bit better shape and lose a bit more weight before gaining it all back again.
Sunshine: Glad to hear all is well with Sheridan. That's so sweet of Miss J to want to give her cuddles. Hope your PND is continuing to improve :hug:
Crumpet: I'm am so so so happy for the sea of pink and dolls that will be coming your way :cheer: That is fantastic that your cervix is growing.
Yules: Hope everything is going well for you now your back in Singas.
MT: Glad to hear Emmelyn is doing well and had no troubles with her needles. Deacon is the same with his length. I'm glad he seems to be taking after DH height wise as I'm a little shorty too and I didn't want him to inherit my "short" genes. I don't have any ideas Jett's running away game. Hope you are able to find some ideas to help.
Hi to everyone I've missed.
AFM: Been super super busy lately, and it's not going to stop anytime soon..... I looked at our calendar last night and we have something on pretty much every day until the end of this month!!!! Next week I have my uni exams. Will be a big weight off my mind once they are done. Don't have to worry about any more study until next year then.
The week after that we have to travel to Sydney as DH has been contacted by his sister's specialist to say he is the best match they can find to be a bone marrow donor for his sister (even though he is only a half match, it's the best they can find). We're both a bit nervous about that as we have heard that the surgery is quite painful etc, but wouldn't consider not getting it done as his sister has been told that unless this transplant works, she won't survive another round of chemo if the cancer returns.
Our poor little Deac has been so brave since yesterday. He had his "little boy" operation and is doing really well. He was real clingy yesterday once we got home, which I was expecting but was quite happy to go to bed after his salt bath and a feed and still had his usual 7 hour sleep followed by a 4 hour sleep. You can tell he knows something is different but is only a little more grizzly. Not as bad as I was expecting to be honest, which is a relief.
Speaking of the little monkey, he is starting to wake up, so I shall bbl, not sure how soon, but I will still continue to read along with how you are all going and post when I get a chance.

Hi everyone
Hope you are all well....we really should ramp up this thread! I'm getting too bored again! ATM Max is playing on the floor BY HIMSELF!! and Darcie is with Rhem (the helper) while I'm sorting out car insurance quotes!! Darcie is a rock to sleep kinda girl and doesn't sleep very long stints during the day unless she is in the baby bjorn thingo. She is sleeping better at night. Can go from last feed at about 10 till 5 or 6am. That has ONLY just started happening though, and I'm pretty happy with just rolling with it. She feeds pretty much three hourly during the day still too.
The warmer weather is much more fun for her though. Don't have to wrap her with a million layers of clothes which are too big! We have been taking a blanket outside and letting her have more noodie time...but some people frown about that....boo to them I say!
Peanutter I'm sure it will settle down again soon. Sorry to hear it makes you so tired though. Babies are so unpredictable and it's hard to know what is going on with them to have an explanation for most things. How is your DH coping with Josh?
Holly Ouchies about your nipps! I had something like that I think in the cold especially, they HURT like hell just pulling them out of my bra. Hope it gets better for you soon.
Cass I remember when Max had his 'op' too.....I was SO sad (DH organised it...I didn't really care whether it was done or not) and like you, I realised it wasn't that bad. Max hardly cried and it all healed so quickly. I don't regret it at all.
Well better go...Max wants to do some painting!
Come back everyone.....start talking MORE!!!

Hi yummy mummies
Just checking in! All good here...Miss T weighed in at 6.15kg and 62cm at her 12 week checkup so doing just fine :) So much has happened for us in terms of work and our living arangements so we to are moving house in a few weeks...back to our own house which will be divine! Surrounded by boxes and all a bit crazy but the thought of going home makes it all ok!
Hope everyone's going ok.
Big hugs
Ex

Holly- I so get what you mean about being clucky!! I really miss being pregnant and I have a few friends expecting at the moment and am a lil jealous also heheh crazy!! We cant wait to try for next bub but we have to wait til I stop breastfeeding so I can track my cycles and get the timing right to fly to Melb. I'll breastfeed for at least a year tho so its a lil while off yet!
Hope everyone else is doing well! :)
-
So you'd be Mumma again Rach - Not Tas?
I miss being preggo too...saw a preg lady laying by the pool today (clearly didn't already have kids!) and I was a little jealous too!
-
Hi there,
We're looking forward to getting into the whole TTC for bubba 2, as well! But no BDing is allowed until well after (ie: at least 6 week) my surgery, if I end up needing it ... will find out in 16 days whether or not that has to go ahead ... mixed feelings galore! We're still :pray: that I don't need it, and that it's all just healed up on its own ... time will tell ...
As for the beautifuyl Joshua, he's fabulous! At 10 weeks, he was 60cms long, 5.620kg. So we're very happy.
:wiggle:
And we're trying to click forward his feeds a bit, to frop out the late night feed. So feeding around 5am (but moving toward 6am), 9am, 1pm, 5pm, 9pm. 'Cause that means that we get to bed around 10pm, and (God willing) he will sleep from around 10pm til 6am. I get up at 5.50am to pump before getting the 6.53am train, so sleeping from approx 10-6 is MUCH better than around midnight-6.
Normally, 6 hours sleep is plenty for me, but not while producing milk, sometimes being woken once or twice a night, and working all day, and BF at night.
Anyway, work is going well - but I've got a lot of marketing starting up from this week. While I was away, not much new work came in, in my absence, so I have to do something about it now! Wish me luck and send me some prayers please, ladies.
And DH is slowly aclimatising to being at home. He's loving time with Joshua, and loving not being at work, and doing his studies - now he's working on doing more housework, so I don't feel like I have to do loads of it on the weekends. I don't mind doing some, but I don't like there being mess or things not done, but equally, I don't want to do lots of things and make it seem like I'm trying to make him feel guilty. He's doing a great job, and we're both working on getting the swing of all these new roles.
How is everyone else going?
:D
-
Hi Ladies!
How are we all going?
Good to see Josh is settling into his new routine (& DH) Peanutter. Good luck with the marketing & new client drive. At the firm I work for, word of mouth has been our best marketing tool & now we have some high fliers on board, they are encouraging more high fliers so the smaller stuff is falling out the bottom. We do advertise also but only with a small ad in the Yellow pages.
Yules, singas weather sounds lovely. It is rain rain rain here today. Very sad. I was hoping to go to the shop, but don't really want Aly getting soaked in the wet. Hopefully there will be a dry spell sometime.
Ellie - we too are in box heaven right now. I am trying to confirm with lawyers, bank, agents, etc that all systems are go for the big day on the 26th. Can't wait to get back to a smaller house (funny hey, most people want to get a bigger house).
Miskilla - sounds like all must be going well for you & Rach with Zarlen & Jeremy. Does Jeremy like being a big brother? I bet he is a good help for you.
Hi to Cass & Hollybolly. Hope you are both looking after yourselves & having fun.
Me - I think I have hit a wall of sorts. I don't feel that I should complain given that we have wanted a baby for so long & now it seems we have the perfect bub, but I am feeling really lonely & tired of looking at four walls. I think it is mostly the lack of adult contact. We don't really have many friends & majorty of mine were work based, so I still see them but only very briefly as they are flat out at work right now. DH came home from work early yesterday and took me out for the afternoon (with Aly), which was lovely. Anyway, I'm sure once Aly is a bit older & I can put her in childcare at a gym or take her to the park it will be better. Just a phase I'm going through I think.
Anyway, I will chat to you ladies soon. xo
-
Yules- Tas is all into career mode atm and wants to study the next few years so its all on me for the next bub. When she does have a bub, prob in about 3yrs, she only wants to take 6-12months off and then I'll stay home with all the bubs.
Peanutter- Is Joshua having 100% breastmilk?! Thats amazing if he is, how you can express enough for the entire time you are at work! I cant even get the hang of expressing at all!
Peta- Jeremy adores Zarlen and is always holding him, but cant wait til he is a bit older and mobile so he can play with him more! Have you thought about looking for a baby playgroup in your area? Im gonna start one soon. They have groups for bubs from birth - 18months, well here in Adelaide they do. Will give you something to do during the day :)
AFM- Had Z weighed today and he is 5.490kg & 60cm long. He hasnt normally been gaining as much weight as the required 150g per week, he is just under. But this last week he gained 160g. He is breastfeeding 100% and I was getting a bit worried that he is not gaining enough or not drinking enough. Today they said he is feeding well (they watched 2 feeds) but tomorrow Im going to see a breastfeeding consultant for an hour app so will see how that goes! Never had this issue with J. But Im not gonna supplement with formula cos that'll just make milk supply drop. Anyway!
Apart from that we are all doing well. Z is full of smiles and is discovering many new faces he can pull, so cute.
Remember my dreaded 18yr old sister in law? Well she got herself pregnant again to another guy. Ended up being ectopic and she didnt know so did nothing about it. It ruptured and became infected, she was bleeding internally, pretty bad. She had to have her whole tube removed cos it was a mess. Shes very lucky! The surgeon wasnt impressed as Delilah was only 7months old at the time it ruptured & he had also delivered Delilah, so he pretty much insisted she get that implant put in her arm. So now she is covered for the next 5yrs at least!
Anyway I better go Iv got visitors coming over soon. Hope everyone is doing well and bubs are growing strong xxx
-
Miskilla: Sounds like it's a good thing your SIL now has the implant in her arm.... Glad to hear Z is gaining more weight. Good luck with your appt with the lactation consultant. I saw one too a while ago to help with attachment issues and she was fantastic.
Peta: Miskilla had a good suggestion with the playgroup. I don't know if your gym does it, or you might be able to suggest it to them if they don't, but one of the gyms here have a mums and bubs work out group they run every couple of months. They do walks through parks etc with the prams or do exercises with their little ones on matts/rugs near them and let them join in on certain ones. Glad to hear Aly is doing really well.
Peanutter: Hope you are healing well and won't need the surgery. Good to hear Joshua is doing well. Good luck with your marketing. Hope it brings in some new clients for you. Yay for your DH being a good stay-at-home-dad. :clap:
Ellie: Good luck with your moving. Sounds like Miss T is doing fantastic.
Yules: Go noodie time!!! It's too cold outside for that here at the moment so I gave Deac some in our kitchen on an old sheet. Glad I put him on the lino coz he got some good range with one pee that went right off the end of the sheet!!!!
AFM: Deacon is healing really well from his little op. The plastic ring fell off on Tuesday and the skin is now healing itself. We've been amazed at how resilliant he seems to be to all of it. Quite brave I say :clap:
We had our first poo in the bath last night. Deac did this little fart and I was giggling away at him "blowing bubbles" when kaboom, the rest of it came out!!!! Glad I was the one bathing Deac coz DH got to clean it all up :lol: ;)
Our mother's group is meeting tomorrow and I am proud to say I have made some cute little cupcakes with freckle spiders on them as it's Friday 13th.... I must say it was really nice to make a cake mix and be able to lick the bowl and spoon again!!! I missed that sooo much while I was preggo.
Hope you are all doing well and enjoying your little ones. :wiggle:
-
Hi Gals
Ellie YAY for getting back to your own home. Hopefully the chaos that goes with moving passes quickly and you can get unpacked and rolling with it again ASAP. Lil Miss T sounds like she is going wonderfully....I wonder what Darcie weighs now!
Peanutter Hope all your lady bits are healing properly for you and hope you don't have to go through with the surgery. If you did have Bub #2 would you be able to have a 'normal' delivery? Good on you guys for changing his feeds and getting a better routine happening so you can get more sleep. It does pay to jiggy things around sometimes. Good luck with your marketing, hope you get to drum up some more business....don't know how anyone can do marketing....it just scares me the thought of having to sell myself! Just like doing a speech in front of class when I was at school!!
Peta As much as you want babies, I don't think you can really prepare for the feelings you have once they come along....it kind of makes you feel selfish in a way for not being 'fulfilled' enough! Have you been assigned a mothers group or anything? I found my MG was my lifeline when Max came along. It's hard feeling closed in in your own home too, like you don't get out or do anything different....kind of like groundhog day! You just gotta try and make the most of it I guess...try and get out and maybe force yourself to chat to others with little ones. Go out, even if it's raining, go to the park, even though Aly is still young. Just walking with Charlie when Max was a baby really helped me...endorphins and all that :) Good luck with your move too....I love my little 3 x 1 house....I miss it! Big houses are overrated...and more cleaning :)
Miskilla Zen Bubba sounds like he is going great guns. I doubt Darcie has been putting on 150g a week...she is so much smaller than Max was, but I'm not doing anything different, just 100% breastfed too. Try not to worry...by the sounds of it (from FB) he sounds beautifully content and happy. Good luck with the BF consultant though...not that I think you need it! ;) Errrgghhhh your horribly daft SIL....why oh why do people do this to themselves!
Cass You'd be surprised the range little girls can get too! I was shocked! Blergh for the poo in the bath....Max has NEVER done one...nor has Darcie....but there is still time! Enjoy your Friday 13th cupcakes! nom nom nom for being able to lick the bowl again! :)
AFM - Things going well here in Singa. I went back my Ob for a check up and all is well. He was impressed that all my muscles were back together and all my internal girl organs are normal again! I could have told him that! I'll be taking Darcie to be weighed and measured next week and I'm looking forward to it. I'm hanging to know how much she weighs...she is so much smaller than Max was at the same age. I was watching home video's of Max...he was such a chunker!
Got some other news too...we MIGHT be moving again....and not back to Aus either. Won't say anything else, but will once I know for sure.
Hope everyone else is well...big hugs :)
-
Hey girls.. just had to share, I finally defeated the evil breast pump tonight!!! Im so excited haha
The consultant today wasnt alarmed by the weight issue but said I should try getting Z to have some better longer naps in the day so he isnt too tired. True, as we do go out a bit too often and poor Z is in and out of the car. But really, how can you help this when you have another child to get to and from school and sports and scouts etc, its so hard at times. Im gonna try make a bigger effort to stay home for his naps tho.
She said to build up my milk to try to express an hour after every feed so tonight I finally did it and got 70mls... does anyone know how many mls of breastmilk a 3month old needs for a single feed??
I have to give it to him in a cup tho, she said NO BOTTLES lol. He's a bit lazy and might then refuse the breast, little bugger. So we're not giving him the option. Plus Im only using whats expressed to top him up after a brestfeed.
Wow Yules, moving!! You are always on the go! Good to hear your all back to pre-baby normalness :)
Cass- Brave little Deacon, Im glad he is recovering so well. I so know what you mean about licking the cake mix bowl! Thats the one thing Im enjoying about not being pregnant, being able to eat what I want. Apart from that I miss everything about carrying my bubba inside hehe. Hope you had a great day today!
-
Rach Darcie gets pulled from pillar to post most days too....she sleeps all night though so I'm not complaining. It is definitely harder with another kid around (and a maid!). You can also try Fenugreek to up your milk supply....you get it in health food shops. Try not to worry too much about Bubba Z and his weight gain....he is eating, he is healthy and happy....do what you can to make it better but don't think you aren't doing it right IYKWIM :)
-
Rach - I have a great mix of essential oils/aromatherapy you can make up yourself for increase in breast milk.
Its only a few oils mixed with a base oil & you just massage it over your body (and wipe off your breasts before breastfeeding)
My mum is into all of that great stuff & she looked it up for a friend recently.
PM me your email & I'll send you the mix ;)
Nothing much new happening here - Carmelo is doing great... he weighed 4.6kgs yesterday, which is great considering we started at 2.8kgs and 4 weeks premmie :)
He's stretching nights out now from about 11pm til 5am which is nice... adding an hour either side to that would be perfect... but we'll get there!!!
My nipples are settling now, although they're still having their ouchie days... apparently they'll improve majorly when it gets warmer.... so bring on September :lol:
Big hi to everyone... i really should get my butt to bed!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
Hi girls!
I've been MIA on the posting front lately, but have been coming in regularly to read updates and see how you're all going! It's awesome to hear everyones babies are doing so well! Yay us!!!!
Hollybolly - glad to hear Carmello is putting on weight and getting bigger! Go little man! :dance: Also good news about the nipples settling down, bring on summer in all respects I say! I've had enough of this crappy cold, rainy, windy weather!
Yules - WTF??? Where are you moving to now??? Why can't it be back to Perth!?!?!?! Details when you can please!!!! Would be nice for Logan and Darcie to continue the little love affair they started before you left! ;)
Miskilla - Good news that the nurse wasn't worried about Z's weight! I totally hear where you're coming from with in and out of the car and not being able to stay home for naps! Ds1 goes to kindy 3 days a week, plus karate on a Sat and starting swimming next week too! I try stay home around nap time for at least 1 nap a day but somedays it's catnaps all the way here and that's just the way it has to be unfortunately! :wall: Sorry, I have no idea how much breastmilk to give. Maybe someone using formula can tell you how much of that is used and take that as an indication??
Peanutter - wow, work sounds like it's going great and about to get super busy with the marketing! Fingers crossed you won't need surgery!!!
Cas - wonderful to hear Deacon is healing nicely! And welcome to the club... your first 'code brown'!!! :rofl: It happens to all of us at some stage!!! Well done you on your cupcake making! I had the mothers group here last Monday.... dh was sent in a mad rush down to IGA at 8am when they opened to buy me a packet of biscuits! :doh:
Peta - I second the other girls with the benifits of a mothers group! I still keep in regular contact with my mums grp from ds1 (he'll be 5 in Oct) and it's great! It's nice to have ppl to chat to in real life who are going through the same things you are at the same time. Although now most of our meetings take place over coffee while the kids are at school or over a bottle of wine or two when the hubbys are home to babysit!
Ellie - yay for moving back to your own house! Is that around where you are living now or is it a big move?
AFM - Logan is going great guns. Still up once a night for a feed but I really can't complain, he goes to bed around 8pm, wakes for a feed between 3am-4am then straight back to bed until around 8am. I had his next checkup with the child health nurse the other day and he's doing everything he should be for 14 weeks. He's now 64cm long and 7.1kg!!! He's a big boy!!!! Apparently I have great milk and he's getting entree, main and desert every meal!!! :redface: He's pretty much growing 1cm a week almost!!! 00 suits are fast becoming a thing of the past here, he's pushing the feet out on some of them and the ones that do fit are getting very snug around his tummy, especially with a big fat cloth nappy on!
I've started to feel a little walled in the last week or so as well, I've been trying to get out for a walk most days, and I've booked Logan and myself into swimming at the local hospital. It's so cute, we do 30mins of swimming with the babies, get out, get them dry/dressed and a quick feed then they go in their prams, all lined up against the wall while the hospital volunteers come and look after them so the mums can get back in and do their exercise. The volunteers are just lovely! They'd all be in their 60's or over and just dote on the babies!
For anyone using cloth nappies I've got to shout out about Kawazukee! She's a member on here and I have 2 of her nappies and they are fantastic! Rival any big name brand I've tried and very cute! Logan lasted over 4hrs in one the other day when I was out and couldn't change him and not a single leak! Very happy!
Is anyone else having trouble shaking the baby weight? I just can't seem to move it! I've cut out foods, incresed walking, I'm now doing water aerobics once a week but I have 5kg I'd like to lose and just can't seem to budge them! I've even booked family photos for early November thinking that would scare my body into losing them but nothing! :(
We've got had the Pregnancy, Babies and Kids expo here this weekend, I went with a girlfriend yesterday and took Logan in the Hug-A-Bub! It was brilliant! He was in there for just over 2hrs before grizzling for a feed and pretty much slept the whole time! Poor credit card got a work out though.... but essential things like some pretty minky nappies, funky bibs, swim pants and baby legs!!! :dance:
OK, I think that's the longest post I've done since joining BB!!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!
-
Julia & Holly- Thanks for the words of encouragement and advice! I've heard a bit about that fenugreek, maybe I'll have a look in the store today for it! And Holly I will definately get that mix off you, I'll PM you my email soon, thanks! I know, Z is happy and looks perfectly healthy so I shouldnt worry.
Carmello sounds like he is doing great and getting a big boy now, good news about better sleep too!
Zarlen went to bed just before 8pm last night, never again! He was up at 1am for a feed and then stirring for awhile at 3.30, then a feed again at 5 and from then on he thought it was time to be up, arrrggghh!! Plus I couldnt get to sleep till 11 so Im a cranky Mumma atm lol. Coming from a baby who normally sleeps from 10.30- at least 5.30, I dont cope well on these nights lol. Cant get a nap until this avo as Jeremy has footy at 9am.
Hope everyone has a great weekend xxxxx
