hey girls. Having a blahhh wk, well probly mth actually. Hope all is well. Miss E has had a good growth spurt. Had her 8mth weigh in today a BIG 7.3kg and now 69cm long I did have a slight laugh as i came home and checked ethan's blue book. He was this weight at 12wks old - my chubba bubba boy he was.
Gee they are all getting so big ....I dont want them to grow up yet
All is good here...Flynn is the funniest little dude! Myles and I have the best fun with him! I do think i need a little break am trying to be supermum but hey what do you do :P
Rach & Kass hope your bubba's start getting interested in food again soon! Leila eats very well but recently we got to the stage where I think she was getting bored with what I was giving her so I had a look around BB and found some great recipes and ideas so have started introducing new things and she seems very happy.
Question re food - those who are giving 3 meals of solids a day - how many breast/bottle feeds do you give? We were doing 5 breastfeeds but lately we are struggling and often the 4th & 5th feeds (particularly the 5th) is really just a comfort feed - I feed her to sleep. She used to 'feed to sleep' now she really just 'hops on the boob to sleep!' she's usually so exhausted that she's asleep within 2 minutes of attaching. She sleeps through and wakes up happy (not screaming like she's starving) and is putting on weight so I guess it doesnt matter. I'm just confused. I have a friend that kind of sets her clock and every 6 weeks or so drops a milk feed (more solids). I haven't really done this but now find Leila is just feeding less anyway. I notice it especially as I express when I'm at work and lately I'm struggling to get as much as I used to. Anyway, just curious as to what everyone else is doing and roughly how many milk feeds a day your little ones are having.
Well finally girls I have my gorgeous, happy little girl back!! 4 top teeth in a matter of weeks and now she is happy again. She is just soooo adorable! She talks/sings constantly, says 'dada' climbs on everything and gets into all sorts of mischeif!! It is so nice to have her back, poor little thing had such a tough time with her teeth. I have my fingers crossed that we get a little break now before the next lot of teeth come through!
Rach that's so funny about the difference in weight between Ethan & Evangeline!! Leila is about 8kg now so she's not particularly big either.
Just a note girls... DH, Leila & I are doing the city2surf fun run this year (14kms!) and trying to raise money for down syndrome as I have a nephew with down syndrome. I don't expect any of you to sponsor us but if you feel that way inclined there are details of how to donate on our FB page. If I don't have you on FB look me up! Fiona Waters (John Waters - we share FB!)
I'm still at my wits end here.
Tonight, tomorrow night and Sunday night I have to work and I have had little to no bloody sleep here. Tooth number 3 is on it's way through and we've had no sleep because he's up every two hours, so just as we're going to sleep, he's waking up again. He doesn't wanna sleep during the day so I can get any sleep for work and I'm also feeling like a failure because he's 7 and a half months old and not even crawling yet
DH and I had D+M last night which made me think that it's time that I cut my ties from places like this and just stick to FB and such, but I dunno if I can do it.
Sorry, just needed to vent somewhere
