Emma: I too had Tess's feet moulded. I have done two things with my kids as newborns and feet and hand moulding is one of them and the other is making sure I have a photographer come to me in hospital and get the newborn photo..used the same company with Tess as with the boys so the photo is the same. I then have it framed the same way. I went to the lady to have Tess's foot & hand done at 11days, hopefully ready in the next couple of weeks. The Santa Photo on FB is the one we took, we also got the official Myer ones as well. It's great they let you take your own as well! We chose Myer as they have activities to keep other siblings occupied. DJ's is across the Rd in the City, they have things too such as the talking tree..is that the same in NSW?
Jody: How did you store the placenta? I grew up in a country town in South Gippsland and there were alot of 'free spirits' in the town or my Dad referred to them as Hippies. It was rumoured that they kept the placenta and cooked it up and ate it Not sure if this was the case? Hope Elliot is settling back to be your good sleeper! Being a big boy you may find his growing and just gets hungrier more often. Used to find that with Ben when he a NB as he was a big NB. Not much you can do really. If the grunting and snorts keep you awak, perhaps put the bassinette in another room after that last night feed? I will be doing that with Tess then I will put her in her cot when she starts sleeping through better at night and use a baby monitor.
Barb: Glad Poppy has settled for you. Ah the lovely Dummy! I haven't used one yet although Tess is showing signs that it would it come in handy!! She likes to suck her fingers at the moment. Ben is a thumb sucker and started that around 5weeks old..it was a life saver at night, now I will just have to deal with the orthodontics bill's when he is older How was your time in Brisbane? You must be looking forward to going back to Vietnam so you can into your own routine.
lou: Oh the first smile!! It's the best isn't it.
Hi to everyone else..look forward to hear how you are all going.
Tess had a grumpy day yesterday. She only cat napped through the day. She has taken to sleeping after the last feed in the early morning to sleeping in to 8am or so and then only naps through the day. She went to bed her usal 6:30-7pm and didn't wake until 1:30am and then 6:30 and is alseep now. I move her around so she doesn't get bored, a little more holding now than earlier. It's that awkard time of in between 3-6weeks where they start to wake up and settle into a definite feed play sleep pattern, and until they find that routine it's a bit all over the place. Tess hasn't had a poo for two days so I am waiting for it They say Breast Fed babies can go 5days without pooing
I have been using my Baby Love book a fair bit these last couple of days! Even though she is awake she hasn't moments where she just likes to look around and hang about in the bassinette, which is good. Well..little Miss is calling and I only have 15mins to finish the boys off before taking them to school and creche..
bye for now (phew, glad I was good at typing at shcool!)
Oh and I love the photo's of your babies Jody and Barb..so cute.
