Tygress- Hi! Hope you had a great Chrissy and New Year. How have you been?
Telly- I have been irritated with DH too but because he is on holidays and I am sick of seeing him all day every day! I know it sounds bad because he is being such a great help - getting up to Ruby to bring her to me for night feeds, taking our other kids out so I only have to deal with Ruby, cooking tea some nights, taking Ruby for a walk around the shops while I spend an hour in the chang rooms and he has painted our DD1's room and made side tables and a chest of draws too - maybe I am being selfish but its nice to have a break from him too. Plus he always come out with a smart ass comment when I am trying to be serious. When he goes back to work in a couple of weeks I will be complaining that he wont be here haha.
Alison- I LOVE feeding lying down, I do it that way every night for the middle of the night feed and usually for the 6 am feed cause Ruby goes straight to sleep and I usually do too. I put her back in her bed after the middle of the night feed but leave her in our bed for the 6am one.
JD- Are you on facebook? Look me up if you want to add me - Rebecca Ozols
Hi Girls - OMG I think I'm going to scream! Yesterday and today Amelia will NOT sleep during the day, she's crying unless I hold her and I can't get anything done! She's sleeping fine at night, what on earth is going on!!!!!! I can't get anything done and I don't know what's wrong with her!
Man...I am having sooo much trouble giving up my chocolate....it's my one true weakness...I'm trying to ration it so it doesnt give Abbey wind but I still think it's doing it to her...I need a soft serve machine installed in the house if I cant have chocolate I've decided...I need something!
I was completely right about my night last night, didnt really want to sleep anyway thanks Abbey - I've got loads of energy to keep on going 24/7 NOT! God, it was nearly every hour I reckon...In the end I ended up sleeping sitting up on the lounge with her on my chest...I dont know how my neck isnt broken after doing that...hopefully not the same tonight..DH is working this weekend and then as normal through the week so it's going to be a long and trying one I feel...
tellytubby - JD is just over 2 and a half now and I hope he's going through the 'Terrible 2's' cause if he's like the way he's being now all the time I dont know how I'll cope....he screams and yells all the time for no reason, doesnt listen to a word I say which just ends up with me going off at him and then more screaming and tears from him...my mum and I went down to the shops with him and Abbey this morning and never again...I chased the little bugger from the front to the back of Best & Less and then he wailed and carried on screaming for Ma (my mum) like I was the Wicked Witch of the West or something and the rest of the morning pretty much followed on like that. I have told him that he is never going to the shops again with me and dragged him home. Little poophead. Check out my pic's on FB of the lounge room - he know's I cant get to him and goes ballistic when I'm feeding Abbey...the other day he dragged a stool from the kitchen straight past me and into his room, climbed up and pulled his closet apart throwing clothes everywhere...arrrrggghhhh!
My DH drives me insane sometimes too...I know he works heaps etc but I'm still sitting up half the night on the lounge like a zombie and looking after the kids all day...I think he thinks I've got it pretty cruisey compared to him...and nothing is ever his fault, there's always something/one else (usually me!) to blame and I could punch him in the face too....I think we are all quite normal!
Hi girls.......I have a very unsettled little girl yesterday and today, she is sleeping fine at night but won't sleep during the day and won't stop crying unless I hold her. I don't know what's wrong with her! It's starting to stress me out!
Alison, am going through the same thing with James at the moment, and like you it is stressing me out.... I haven't hardly managed to get off the damn couch with him all day.... I have just put him down in his bassinet 2 hours after his last feed and now I can hear him again..... so frustrating.
I think my hormones are still all over the place too cos I at times I feel so useless and close to tears. Also have starting bleeding heavily again so not sure what is going on there.
Ubba - I've been ok, ups and downs really... hopefully things will even out over the next few weeks. What about you?
OMG I'm so jealous of you all who can BF your bubs. I'd love to not have to be stuffing around with bottles and formula etc after all this time the most I have managed to express is 40mls in one sitting.
Being at my folks was good for my Mum's support, I'd get up with James around 6am and she would take him so I could go back to bed which was divine.
I'm with you all about DH sleeping during the nights, it is so annoying that he can sleep while James is screaming while I'm trying to warm up his bottle etc... but I guess I'm going to have to get used to it when he goes back to work on Monday. I'm a bit worried about how I'm going to cope, but I guess I just will.
We have another clinic appointment on Monday, can't wait to see how much weight James has put on, he has really filled out a bit in the last couple of weeks which is great to see!!
Just wondering does this feeling of being completely out of your depth get better??
Hats off to you girls who have more than one bub, I truly do not know how you do it!!!!
Hi Tygress welcome back! just click on one of our tickers it will take you to the website I have never expressed bore than 50ml cos im too scared ill run dry for the next feed lol but i doubt id get much more, sometimes i worry but V is getting chubby so it must be the full fat variety lol...I guess one good thing about ff is they drink it fast...
Alison and Tygress, I think V and I had the same thing as you where they are really clingy and I am just now starting to be able to put her down, it must be a developmental stage r something...plus they love you best right now which is sweet but frustrating too...
Shayna I saw on fb you had another crap night sorry to hear it. Id like to say it gets better but I dont want to hex myself..Everytime I brag she is getting better she turns into a little psycho
Ubba I love feeding in bed too, Vs 11pm feed I try to feed then put her in her bed but Ive been falling asleep lol..The early morning one she usually stays so we can sleep longer...I cheated today I really wanted a sleep so I lay down with her and got a feed and 3 hours sleep in yeah! Im scared shell get too used to it tho...
Lol Telly I think you and I would be great friends irl! You crack me up!.. Another here thats a fan of punching dh in the fce lol...Imagine how quick they would wake lol...
Heavenly, I love the game you need the buzzers too but as you say it is way cheaper with ps2, we got a bundle but im going to use a voucher I got for kk for some other ones i think there is music, film and tv and some other themes The couch sounds good too zI like the modular ones you can change them around to suit your mood lol.
Hi Tygress - grrr isn't it frustrating! Amelia has been more settled this arvo, we took her out for a couple of hours but evidently I topped her up with formula first and it did the trick. Don't stress re FF'ing, BF'ing isn't all it's cracked up to be! I can't keep up with her demand so have to FF in between anyway. Like you, I can only express about 40ml at a time too! We just do what we have to huh! As for bleeding, my subsided about 4 days ago now, when I BF I still get some discharge (sorry TMI) but that's it, I'm even contemplating swimming in my sister's pool tomorrow, it's going to be 39 degrees in Perth tomorrow! Have you been doing too much as I read that can bring on heavier bleeding? Oh and like Natty says, formula feeding is much quicker, when you BF you feel like you're doing it all friggin day ha ha!
Natty's right, click on one of our tickers and it will take you to the Lilypie website so you can create your own.
We'll get there mate, we're all doing the best we can and I think we're all doing great, good days/bad days, we'll get better as we go along ha ha.

I still have another week left with dh home, he's meant to be doing feeds tonight but well see if he bothers getting up
Alison and Tygress, sometimes thats just prity normal behavior... bare with it i guess, they go though little stages and change all the time... it will pass. ella does the samething... falls asleep while im holding her and is awake again as soon as i put her down.
hi to everyone alse... how are all your bubbas coping with the hot weather??
havnt got anything interesting to report... things are much the same. DH hoildays finish on tuesday and he will be back at work so my very easy going life with 3 kiddies may change soon after that lol.
