Yay for all the sleep everyone is getting! We normally only get woken once overnight too, last night was twice but she has a blocked nose so I understand!
I did a post on the other page and it disappeared and now I don't remember what we were talking about.
Traylee - with the daycare, I wont put P in before she is one but if you need a break once a week for a few hours no one would say anything about you puttting Scarlett in. It certainly wont hurt her!
We have our check ups today. I dont know what is going to happen with me, I am still bleeding so she can't do a pap smear still and my head is still awful! So we will see. Phoebe will have her check and needles so sad seeing her get poked!
Traylee - I've taken a year of work and will decide then if I go back one or two days a week, so A won't be going to childcare until I make up my mind on what I'm doing but then I'm lucky with DH being home for 2 weeks at a time I should be able to get a break if I need and he'll have missed her enough to want to take her off my hands for a while
Sleepy - Good on E for such a great sleep last night!
Marni - Hope you guys are feeling better real soon & good luck with your checkups today.
A is having her needles too this morning and I'm feeling so guilty about it, think it's mostly because I'm petrified of injections and also the fact someone is going to hurt my baby and I dread hearing her cry when it's being done
Well A did a marathon sleep last night after going down about 9.45 last night she woke up at 7.30 this morning, her best effort yet! She was stirring from about 6.30-7.00ish with grunts & groans but everytime I went to get her she was still asleep. It was when I unwrapped and picked her up I smelt what all the fussing was about hahaha
Well I better run and have a shower while she's quiet & sleeping (again ) and get ready to be out the house in about an hour.
Hi to everyone, have a great day and enjoy lots of baby cuddles!
ok, new thread and a new promise to post regularly lol...well, I'll try at any rate.
I have had real issues with my internet so I havent been able to read last posts so am going to start afresh.
AFM - things are going well. We are going to try dream-feeding (just learnt what it is!) and hope that that will break Zen's habit of having his big sleep at 6pm-1am. Would be much nicer if it was overnight, I dont want to go to bed at 6 lol. he rarely sleeps during the day but today has had an hour nap and now has been down for at least another hour! Might have something to do with Daddy being home for the day??
On 5 July we will have our doc appt - my 6wk and Zens 8wk. (wk 7 for both of us) I too am not looking forward to the needles
Oh well...good excuse for cuddles and I had them as a baby and dont resent my mum
Hope you are all doing well and getting enough rest etc.
Well my day has been crap!!! First after I dropped T at daycare came home to get P ready for the drs. Picked her up and then noticed some poo on her leg. Thought ok, better go and change her. Then I also noticed it on me and the carpet. It completely covered her and my jeans, jacket and shirt. After baths we got dressed again and then were ready to go. Had to then go and find the idiot who parked over my driveway and in front of my bins. He moved his car but just said, 'Oh I didn't notice'!
Move on from that at the drs. I need an ultrasound to check for retained placenta - that will be $157. Phoebe is perfect but has the most horrible squeal when she has her needles. The sound just about broke my heart. She barely made a sound when I had her ears pierced but this was awful. So we get home and I decide to give her some panadol in case she is in pain. She kind of chokes on it and then makes awful sounds for 5-10 minutes which makes me feel like the worst mummy in the world! Eventually she falls asleep and I am constantly checking her thinking she is going to stop breathing after choking! (She is fine)
Then I decide to do some cleaning, put washing on. Go back in after doing the dishes and my laundry is flooded. So is the toilet where it leaked under the wall. Clean that up. Change my sheets after P peed on them this morning. The washing machine seems to be working properly but I think it is time for a new one!
I have had an interesting day! On a good note however, P is 5.5kg, 58cm long and has 39cm head! Sorry for the very selfish post but I do feel a bit better now and will finish my coffee on a positive note!
Hi Tina - great to hear from you wow Z does a huge sleep early evening but can understand why you want to try dream feed and move that big block a bit later at night, bed at 6pm is just a little "bit" early lol
Marni - oh you poor thing, what a day for you. Enjoy your coffee!! What happens if you do have retained placenta, do you need to have a D&C? Great to hear P is growing so well & is perfect
Well needles are all done, think I was more traumatised that she was (yes mum shed a tear) she was all smiles at the nurse before having them, she sucked down the liquid stuff but wow did she cry when they gave them to her but a quick cuddle and she was all smiles again which made me feel that little bit better.
She seems to be ok so far, a bit sooky so I gave her some panadol just in case before putting her down for a nap - she felt a bit warmer than normal but didn't register a fever.
Ahhh have no excuse not to go and clean the kitchen & do some washing.......
Not sure how long I'll last as i have a squirmy screaming bub on my lap. We seem to be having a few days of 'grumpy bubby' atm, which is no fun at all. Fortunately, he changes back into our beautiful boy at 7pm (for bath, massage and feed) and we've had 8 hrs, 8 hrs and 8 3/4 hrs the past 3 nights!
We've had a lot of sucking and slobbering lately too plus more controlled hand movements - must be developmental. B has also started taking notice of a couple of his toys, which he hasn't shown any interest in until now. With all those new discoveries, it's no wonder he's Mr Cranky Pants.
Phew - DH has taken him for a walk around the yard which will hopefully soothe him a little, not to mention my poor ears!
Marni - What a horrible day!
Tina - Let us know how you get on moving that big block of sleep up! What IS a dreamfeed?? I still don't know!
Phoenix - B's needles are on Monday and I'll be crying too. Did I tell you I was at the Dr's a few weeks ago and saw the nurse giving a girl her 12 month needles? Mum and girl were OK, it was the total stranger (me) in the corner crying! Oh and what's this about your boobs not being sore any more?! Are you still leaking?
Traylee - Personally I wouldn't put S in care so young, but maybe a bit later on. If you're worried about socialisation for Scarlett, can you join a playgroup/mother's group? I've joined a new parents group that starts in a fortnight and am really looking forward to it. It won't give me a break, but it will mean adults to talk to!
Tiff - B is breastfed.
Hi to everyone else - hope you're all getting plenty of sleep and happy cuddles and play.
Question - What size nappies and clothes are everyone's bubs wearing now? We're still using Huggies Newborn nappies but are starting to get more leaks so I was wondering if they're getting a little small?? We're still in 0000 clothes too, not sure when the 000 will fit.
Jleigh - dreamfeed is where you where you get them up and offer them a feed while they are sleeping/semi-awake, burp and put straight back to bed - apparently it can help stretch out the length of the night sleep.
Clothes - she has only been wearing 000's which are still a bit big on her the past week or so, the 0000's still fit although looking a little tight & small but am thinking of putting them away to make sure she does get wear out of all the 000's and 0-3 months she has been given
Nappies - even though she only weighs 4.690kgs (yesterday) and 55cms she's been in the huggies infant sized nappies (4-8kgs) for about 3-4 weeks, I use them overnight and they fit better than the newborns for some reason.
