Busy busy busy here and not much time to post. DH went back to full time work 2 weeks ago which means I don't sit down all day and if I stop and do anything other than look after kids it all gets on top of me but I think I am coping pretty well. I am really enjoying being with my kids all day and not getting distracted by BellyBelly (I was spending a lot of time on here at the end of my pg because I was soooo tired ).
Lisa - I cried reading your post. What a horrible experience. I would have been just as distressed as you if I had to see my baby go through that and to get very little sympathy from the x-ray lady while she man-handled your baby ... I hope Anelise is okay. Poor little thing and poor you and poor DS.
Easha - I still spray DD2 in the face during most feeds, especially if she pulls off, which she does sometimes because I think she is being a bit drowned in milk. She also won't take a bottle. DD2 is a bit of a drama queen and gags if I try to give her a bottle. It is really quite funny. I don't know much about what the pain in your boob could be if it is not your let down reflex. Is your milk draining well during feeds? It wouldn't be mild mastitus? I don't really know, but thought I would ask.
TK - Swimming is magic for getting babies (and kids) to sleep for long periods of time. I wish I had taken my kids to swimming lessons when they were babies, it is a bit hard now with the 3 of them. DH and I are thinking about taking them together on a Saturday morning starting next year. Caitlin sounds like she is growing really well. It is amazing how much bigger she is now than 3 months ago. I can't believe she is 3 months already. Time is just flying by!
Angela - Don't know if this helps but do you still wrap Emily? I stopped wrapping DD1 when she was a couple of weeks old because I thought she hated it but when I took her to a day stay sleep program, they got me to wrap her for her sleeps and she became much easier to settle and put down. Not a magic solution but I found it helps. The day stay I went to with DD1 used the sleep program 'Sleep Right, Sleep Tight' (title of the book) and I swear by it. We have used it for all 3 of our kids and it works great. They recommend just doing what feels right for the first 3 months but we started it with DD1 when she was 7 weeks old because she never slept and always wanted to be held. We were exhausted.
Hello to everyone else.
All the kids are in bed and the kitchen is clean, I am going to try to spend 5 mins with DH before I go to bed. Night all.
