I'm actually able to go this arv now. Just waiting for DH to finish work which shouldn't be too much longer. I'm breast feeding. Before my milk came in I was breast feeding plus giving a formula top up, recommended by the lactation consultant coz she was so little & early but now my milk is in I'm fully breastfeeding, so far so good.
Excited to be going home but a bit nervous too. Hope we have a good night!
Thats great news Leigh..... Hope your first night home was.... nice! Well as nice as it can be with a newborn and 2 others! At least you have your own bed and shower! Hows Lara going with you?
Mel - Lara warmed up to me again as soon as I walked in the door. Smiling at me and wanting me to pick her up. The hardest thing is coz I've had a c/s I can't lift anything heavier than Lexie and I'm dying to pick Lara up and give big cuddles. i get her to sit on the couch with me and cuddle and kiss her.
Our first night was pretty good, I was only up once at 2am to feed Lexie and that's coz I woke her. I thought I'd better coz it was getting close to 5hrs since her last feed. The hospital did say I could go 5 - 6 hrs overnight without feeding though. She fed for 30 mins then straight back to sleep. She then didn't start stiring til 6:45am and I woke her properly at 7am to feed. Shes been such a good bub so far. I'm starting to get pretty tired though. Only when I sit down and do nothing though. I'm hopefully going to try for a sleep this arv.
Great to hear Leigh. I am hoping my next baby will sleep more than 2-3 hours in a row! Neither girls did it for me! Am really happy Lara has warmed up to you... maybe it was just the hospital environment.
Well DH has applied for a job at the Desalination plant in Wonthaggi.... which means that if he gets it, we will be moving away for 2-3 years! I am really hoping he does because its good money and constant work. It also means that he can have a break from being self employed, which has been stressful lately coz there isnt much work around and its also hard to get money off people who owe him...because they are stretched too! It will be good for me too coz I do his bookwork and I hate doing it! It will be a nice sea change too, but not too far from Melbourne (i think its only about 1.5 hours away) so will be able to regularly catch up with family.
CONGRATS LEIGH! WOW! I came in to check how you were and now you have a precious baby girl! Awww. I adore the name Lexie I can't believe how good she is sleeping! OMG! Mia never ever did that, not until she was 14 months old!
Mel that sounds like a terrific opportunity for DH's job! Pity you can't move over this way so we can have play dates hehe! You are over half way now, yay!
Melly gosh Sienna is gorgeous. She is soooo sooo cute! She doesn't have tanties does she?? Too angelic! LOL
Mia has a heavy cold atm. She has been not wanting to settle herself and wanting to be held, which is hard. I hope it gets better over the next few days anyway! Hope everyone is well
HEy Skye... I hope Mia picks up soon. I think my girls are coming down with yet another cold! Its freezing here today and I need to go out shopping. So couldnt be bothered! I love these tanties! Rebecca was dreaming/half awake most of the night yelling out NONONO! MMM.. not a load of sleep here!
I am so excited that I am 24 weeks today. Roughly 15 weeks to go! The weight is piling on, but thats my own fault coz I cant stop eating chocolate. Even in the mornings I need something sweet. Doesnt help when DH comes back from the shop with loads of junk!
I really hope dh gets this job. Such a good opportunity.
Hope you are all well.
How are you all going? We're doing well. Lexie is going great. Still such a good baby and hardly crieds (would be good if she stays like this). I am still having to wake her for feeds, including in the middle of the night. She is now over her birth weight which is good. We had her weighed yesterday and she weighed 2690g. I'm still feeding her every 3 hrs but I am wondering when I can starting letting her sleep through at night, or at least sleep until she wakes on her own for a feed. Cadence slept through the night at 6wks and Lara at 5 wks so there is going to come a time very soon where I want Lexie to sleep through too and I'm afraid with me waking her every night (usually around 2.30am - 3am) that it might become a habit.
Mel - Did your DH get the job? I piled on the weight with my pregnancy with Lexie too, that bad thing is I am really craving chocolate at the moment so its going to be hard for me to lose the weight.
Sky - I hope Mia is over her cold and that you didn't catch it off her.
