WTG Clover on the new camera! How is little Summer going now?
Vix - How scary with the Thyroid. Im sure everything is fine, sending you big hugs anyway Hope you enjoyed your cuppa and are having a nice girlie day!!
Pretz - Woo hooo on DTD!! Its a big step - sorry to hear it hurt. I dont enjoy it at the moment. But my libido was shot after I had Summer so I know it will return ... ONE DAY!!
AFM - Nothing new to report. Ben has his appt with the eye surgeon on Friday. Hoping to get some good news ... i.e. no operation!!! His weight has steadied out a bit, only put on 200g this week instead of the usual 250 - 300g. As of last Thursday (just before 10 weeks) he was 6.55kg, 61.5cm long and HC 42cm!! I know its going to slow eventually - one of these days!
I feel the same as you Nikki - have been busy busy busy and haven't got ANY time for myself! Always looking and attending to Noah 25/7! lol He is just sooooo worth it though and keep melting my heart when he gives me those huge, big, gummy smiles!! Sorry to hear that the eye surgeon appt was so expensive only for him to tell you what your OB already told you. Good news though that he doesn't seem to need surgery and that it's nothing serious! Sorry to hear about your Nan being in hospital. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers!
Clover & Vix - Thanks for the tips re the sling. I got one about a month ago, but he HATES it just like Alannah so wasted the money I guess. I also have one of those carriers, which is handy when going to the shops, but 1 - it's just so hot to carry him around in all day and 2 - it kills my already messed up back even more and when I do get him in there and he finally falls asleep it's hard to get him unstrapped without him waking up. lol Have started putting him in his pram more often and wheel him around everywhere in the house with me now while I do things, seems to last at least long enough for me to do dishes or put on washing, fold washing, put on dinner etc. lol
Clover - Hope the breastfeeding has been going better the last few days. How are you finding the nipple shield? Love your photos you've been taking.
Vix - Yes, I'm only getting him weighed again this week and will then only be getting him weighed once a month. I'm just being silly about stressing over his weight. I guess I just have to remember what EVERYONE (GP, CHN and friends) tell me - if he is hungry (i.e not gaining enough weight) he will be crying ALL the time. lol He seems pretty settled and has probably about 12-15 wet nappies a day and does a huge poo every second day, sometimes 2 times that second day! lol Hope you get to go for your ultrasound soon and it's all good news!
Sparkles - You lucky ducky with Tynan sleeping through the night! Noah is still waking once a night (most nights), but some nights when I go to bed later and I give him a top up feed (while he is asleep) he basically sleeps through too, which is fantastic! I spent most of my days talking away to Noah too and over the past 2 days have heard him make different noises along with the one's he used to so he is definitely starting to increase his "words"! lol
Raffy - Glad to hear I'm not the only one having a "velcro" baby! You're right, it sure does give us a good excuse for when and why things aren't done. lol I too hope that they grow out of it eventually and in the meantime guess we should enjoy them "clinging" to us because once they're like 16 they're not even going to want to be seen anywhere near us I bet! lol Sorry to hear you're MIL is doing your head in......it's always the way isn't it. Just remember that you're doing a great job as Coop's Mummy and you would know his cries better than anyone else so I'm sure YOU will know when your baby is hungry.
Brydz - Yes, our boys are all growing so well and tall! I think Noah is definitely going to be tall like his Daddy. Everyone that sees him says he is so BIG and tall for his age. Actually found out yesterday that my Goddaughter who is 8 months old actually only weighs 700g more than Noah and she is also 62cm tall now! She is just a tiny big chubbier than Noah. lol Makes me wonder how big Noah will be when he is 8 months old if he's almost already caught up to her! lol Sorry to hear about the issues you're having with J. I hope you get to sort everything out soon and that it won't need to go as far as going through lawyers or the courts.
Hello to everyone else!
AFM, have had a busy, busy, busy but great weekend! Had a nice, huge nap yesterday from around 12:00pm til 3:00pm with Noah and went to my Godmother's Christmas party last night. Noah slept from 8:30pm until we got home at midnight, woke for a quick feed, went straight back to sleep and slept until 6:00am this morning. We got up at 6:30am and went to my Goddaughters Baptism and Noah slept in Daddy's arms for the entire Church service. lol Went out to lunch, he had bottle of EBM (190ml in one go!! - never had that much in one go in a bottle) and slept from about 12:30pm until we got home at 4:00pm! Then had a small feed, a bath, another feed and went to sleep around 6:45pm. Finally went to finish our Chrissy shopping this arvo and now just gotta wrap it all up ready for next Saturday (we'll be spending the day at MIL's house).
Well then, best be off, DH made us some nice toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches for dinner (seeing as we weren't very hungry after our big lunch). Nice to have dinner made for me for a change! lol
Feeding has come good. Not getting too confident though. Summer giggled for the first time last night Mum & all the kids got to hear it!
Having a real hard time with her eczema But we'll get there...
