No worries Olive, I think we are all on the same page.
Man I wish I could get some sleep. Amelia wakes usually once a night for a feed which is fine, but William wakes at least once usually twice so by the time I get up at 12,2 and 4 I am stuffed.
So far so good with the visiting IL's... How has everyone else managed with the extended family and the dreaded IL's?
Hi ladies, I was just wondering if you would mind me joining your thread. I have 2 kids, Harrison 22 months old and Emily born on 3rd September, I also have 2 stepdaughters aged 12 & 6. After a good quick labour Emily was born weighing 9lbs 1oz. I have read through a lot of your posts to try to catch up. I am worried about Emily's weight after reading the posts, I weighed Em 4 days ago she weighed 5.6kgs, everyone else's babies have seemed to have put on a lot more then her. She is an angel, happy all the time, feeds well, sleeps well and adores her big brother.
Mum2, welcome to our thread. As for Emily's weight, are you and your DH big or small people? After birth when a baby is growing on its own it changes from the size that your body is able to grow a baby to the size that it is genetically supposed to be iykwim? So just because you grew a big one doesn't mean that she was destined to always be a big baby. As long as she is feeding well and having lots of wet and dirty nappies I wouldn't worry too much, but if you feel something isn't right then get her checked by a doctor or child nurse.
I thought I would chuck in my 10 cents worth about car seats. Zander was in a capsule till he was 8kg and then went forward facng in a car seat. Wyatt was in a capsule for 3mnths but because he is really long went into a car seat rear facing until he was approx 5mnths old (he is tall and is off the graph - height for age)
Indigo is small she is 5.5kg and will probably be rear facing untill 6-7mnths..we have her on the side, Zander in the middle in a booster with harness and Wyatt on the other side with a booster and harness..we had to move Indi out of the middle because she was getting whacked/poked/kicked etc by Wyatt. Very naughty boy!!!!
Indigo is having a day sleep and we have changed her routine slightly at night so she goes to bed the same time as us now...we used to get her up at 9pm bath and feed her but found that she was having her big sleep starting around 8pm and it didnt work well waking her up. She is only sleeping 6hrs at the max though..so still tired here
