Well tired is an understatement with me at the moment.
Indigo is doing well and seems to be in a routine at night she usually goes down for her big sleep around 9pm and sleeps through till 3 or 4am so around 6-7hrs at night. She then has a feed and sleeps till 7 or 8am. So Im pretty happy with her. At her 6wk check she was 4kg, its her 8wk check next week and needles Im expecting her to have put on another 500gm so in 2mnths she would of put on 2kg since birth (2.5kg to 4.5kg)
We are getting lots of smiles and cooing aswell. Her eyes are a clear blue still. Wyatt had dark blue eyes with brown flecks in them when he was a baby and they changed to dark brown...I think if they have colour in them like that there is a strong possibility they will change.
Wyatt is unwell at the moment and has been waking numerous times every night....so he has been the reason Im so tired not Indigo. Most days I dont even get dressed and am really just a ferral housewife at the moment..we have lots of pj days!!!
I'm reading but don't have much time to post at the moment. Ethan has been going through a growth spurt too I think - constantly wanting boobies and being really clingy. Luckily he is only being clingy/cranky during the day and is still sleeping 6-7hrs at night. Still the constant feeding is driving me a bit nuts and I'm back to having sore nipples! He has been a bit better today so hopefully we are over the worst. Ethan was born with grey eyes but they have recently changed to brown.
I'll be back when I have more time! NIcola hope Wyatt gets better soon, nothing worse than a sick kidlet to look after. Fingers crossed he doesn't pass it on to the rest of the family!
Hi girls, have been lurking for a little while and thought i'd better introduce myself!
im Skye and my little girl Isabelle was born on the 12th of september, 4 weeks early. ive also got a 3 yr old that im currently trying to TT!
i've been reading ur posts to see what ur bubs are up to milestone wise and it seems Izzy is a bit behind, we were told that even though she was only just premature that she could be a bit delayed with things. Its hard because she was born such a good weight(even bigger than some full termers in my bellybuds group!) to remember that she was early. We'll get there though!
hope ur all having a good day, will chat soon

Welcome Skybie and congrats on the birth of Isabelle! Make yourself at home!
A quick question ladies, have any of you decided what contraception you are wanting to use/ using already? I know it's different for bfeeding than formula feeding but am getting really confused about which one I should go for. I had a little bit of stress and difficulty conceiving Frazer after a 6 year stint on Implanon which lead to numerous cysts and a misdiagnosis of PCOS so am wanting to steer clear of that. APART from that I LOVED Implanon. Was perfect for me, no periods ever, and I didn't get the mood swings etc that some others experience
Am maybe leaning towards Mirena IUD?? or Copper T? Anyone had any experiences with these. I would love some feedback or opinions please. Am not good at remembering things so the pill would be last on my list.
pooley- u dnt get ur period on the needle either, dont know if thats something u want to try.
ATM im not on anything, considering the mini pill but will have to find out some more info on it to see if its really worth it.
Also i want to be pregnant again when Isabelles about 12-18mnths and i know its gonna take a hell of alot of convincing to get my DF to agree to one so soon after Izzy so might stay off all contraceptives and let nature do its thing.
its not that he doesnt want another one, just not when izzy is still little, me on the other hand, i want to be done having babies so i dont have to worry about when's a good time again and i want to get back into work to help DF out, no point going back to work then stoppingto have another baby i think!
Skybie I'm also TT my toddler. I think she's got it! She's been using the potty for over a week now with no accidents. Now we just have to progress to the toilet! Congrats on the arrival of Isabelle!
Pooley haven't decided on contraception yet and to be honest it isn't needed at the moment (poor DH!). I'm still bf so pretty sure I'm fairly safe anyway! What is lemon detox diet? Please don't tell me you have to chomp on lemons eeewwww!
I think we are over the growth spurt as Ethan has gone back to his happy self woo hoo! Anyway its a lovely day so we're heading to the park. Have a great weekend all and sending big sleepy vibes to all the bubs xoxo
Skybie- Never considered Depro is it? Maybe I should look into that one too. Jeez, does my bloody head in, too many choices.
Sangie- Ever since I got this munchkin outta me I've been randy as!!
No way considering more children until Frazer is at least 3 so am looking for something long term. I got AF 4 weeks post pardum since I wasn't breast feeding, I'm guessing that's why it returned so soon. After using Fertility friend to concieve, I can read my body much better and am pretty sure I'm ovulating/ have ovulated already!! This is officially the 3rd time I've ovulated in about 6 years!! Crazy stuff.
Lemon Detox is the one from the ads. It's a Lemon and Palm tree syrup drink that replaces all food for 10 days. Day 7, 3.6 kgs and counting...
Was perfect for me, no periods ever, and I didn't get the mood swings etc that some others experience
