had another bad night again last night. he just wont settle and sleep he wants to be held all the time. mum and i took it in shifts last night.

he is also a bit jaundiced but the midwife didnt seem bothered.
my milk has come in today so im hoping that might help. think i might express some so we can see just how much he is taking.

as the midwife didnt weight him we did (we have baby scales for the cat breeding) he has dropped down to 7lb which i dont think is too bad.

Happy new year to all!!!!!!!

sorry you are having some bad nights Beth. hopefully like you say your milk will help now. lots of people say that their babies tend to sleep well during the daytime and like to stay awake at night! i'm sure in time it will turn around. when i first had dd she would sleep for 6 solid hours in the daytime but only 2 at night. it didn't take too long for it to turn into 4 hours, then 6, then 8. hang in there hun

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I haven't been on in awhile, just busy with Harps. Beth, Callum is just gorgeous! Hopefully he will settle soon, Harper had her days and nights reversed, and now is sleeping 7 hours stretches at night, so it does get better. Hang in there!

I read through the posts, but Mommy brain makes it so I can't remember everyone's updates. But sending big to all of you! xxx

Happy New Year Ladies

Beth - those sleepless nights are a killer but taking it in shifts is the only way to go if at all possible. I thought I would lose the plot in the first couple of weeks but it is slowly getting better. We now manage up to 5 hours sleep at a time at night though and I can see more of a pattern/routine starting to form. Just hang in there and sleep when you can

I can't believe Zara will be 5 weeks old tomorrow - she has outgrown loads of her newborn clothes now and into the 0-3 month outfits, it's quite sad putting all the outgrown things into storage though

Congratulations Beth he's gorgeous!!

morning girls.

good news - i got some sleep last night. had a feed at midnight then slept til 3.30. then went back off but was a bit restless then but he stayed in his basket rather than needing cuddles.

bad news - my epesiotomy has broken down so im extreamly sore and have to go back on the pain killers and now need antibiotics.

 

[meemee]

yay for sleep beth!
how did the stitches manage to break down so early? ouch

im so sick of being pregnant now! cant believe that ive only got 6 days left until my due date though!

 

[flowertot]

Glad you got some sleep Beth. hope you are feeling better soon.

Hi Meemee. wow 6 days. i'm jelous, i've got double that time

think i'm going a bit crazy, just finished mopping the floors at quarter past midnight. the house is all clean and tidy but i feel like i need to make it cleaner. nesting maybe??

 

[meemee]

I'm doing exactly the same thing as you flower!
once I'm off the computer I've decided that i want to scrub the kitchen and bathroom floors, vacuum the house, fold the washing and organise all the little piles of random things scattered around the place lol and im also trying to drag my OH into it (he doesnt have the same manic enthusiasm ) its extreme nesting!

it'll be interesting to see whether you have your baby before i have mine seeing as it's your second and my 1st!

 

[samzi]

morning ladies.

wow two more will be ready to drop anytime now

 

[topazicatzbet]

It was a rather traumatic forceps birth, they were about to do a section. all the pushing and pulling caused a lot of swelling and bruising and as she stitched it up she did say it might break down.

well last night i went it alone with out mum helping and he was great. woke for a feed at 1, 4, 6.30 but he slept in between. hope he continues like that.
midwife is coming this morning for heal prick test, then we are going to register him.

not long now flower and mee mee. more naughty babies to coo over soon.

 

[Blondie]

Oooh get cleaning meemee and flowertot - I cleaned the house from top to bottom in the morning and Zara was here by 9.20pm

Sounds like Callum is being a little star for you Beth Zara was a pain last night and didn't settle until 2.30am and then woke at 5.40am - I think it was because Alex is back at work today so sods law says I have to have a bad night with her just so I can be extra knackered today whilst I'm all alone Just about coping though, bottles sterilised, cat litter tray emptied, white wash in the machine, I'm dressed and baby currently asleep which is a pretty big achievement for lunchtime I might even get time for something to eat now before she wakes up again

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

Blondie, sounds as though u have it all under control

 

[msmith]

Hello Ladies,
We are getting a gang of baby Naughties now and with 2 more on the way very shortly-lots to look forward to in 2010!!!

Back to work today after the Christmas break and only 2 more weeks until maternity leave It was a bit of a shock to the system, I think I could have happily stayed off work, but at least I will have more maternity leave the other side of baby's arrival.

We had our antenatal classes at the weekend so feel clued up and met some lovely couples who we hope to stay in contact with. It is all action stations now. We know when, where and what to do when the time comes.

Hope everyone is well and not cleaning too hard!!!

 

[topazicatzbet]

morning girls.

its snowing really hard here so god knows if the midwife is gonna make it here to do his heal prick test. i hope she does as id like her to check his cord that fell off this morning and to check me as no one has actually looked at my wound.
