******March Lambs******~105 new arrivals~

[DueMarch2nd]

Hey girls sorry i havent been on in a while. My parents were meant to come for 2 weeks (starting saturday) but sadly my dad has pneumonia. He is recovering well but he just couldnt get the "all clear" to fly but my mom is here. So all my time is spent showing off the area and the baby. SHe never has visited in the 4 years i lived here so there is much to do. Just popping in while she is in the shower.

Hunter is having a crazy growth spurt and i am feeding constantly. He is also not sleeping well at all and in order for him to sleep at night we have to hold him. We never contemplated co-sleeping before but are thinking about it now. Not sure what we will do.

I dont know if you girls remember but i said my sister had a genetic disorder that made it nearly impossible to conceive (mthfr) but she announced yesterday (easter) that she is 12 and a half weeks pregnant So we are all hoping the baby survives the pregnancy and she has a healthy pregnancy/labour as she is at very very high risk.

Hope all you girls still waiting have LO soon! lots and lots of to you all

Hope all you girls still waiting have LO soon! lots and lots of to you all

sorry to hear your dad didnt make it over, sure you are enjoying your time with your mum tho!

great news about your sister, sending her all the luck in the world with her pregnancy, hope everything works out for her.

with regards to the putting hunter down thing - as hard as it is, you'll have to do it at some point or you'll end up making a rod for your own back. I have a friend who never put her LO down and ended up having a hellish first 6 months as her baby wanted to be constantly held and cuddled - she wouldnt put him down even whilst she had a shower she had to find someone else to hold him. I know it sounds harsh, but I think the sooner you do it, the sooner he will learn to adapt to it. It'll be hell for a few days, but worth it in the end!

Great news about your sister hun! And sorry to hear about your dad

No advice about Hunter - hope you figure out something that works soon x x

Wren sleeps 'well' at night in her little crib beside us but as soon as day hits she doesn't want to be put down for more than 5 minutes which was a nightmare as I couldn't get a thing done. On Thursday evening me and the OH decided to focus on getting her in her crib, we kept putting her in and once she would start to get upset we would pick her up and settle her, as soon as she was calm and near sleep we would lay her in her crib again, we did this over and over and over again but it seems our hard work has paid off as she has started sleeping in her crib in the day!! I can now shower, eat lunch and feel like I am not loosing my mind! We still have issues but they are getting much better and now I feel happier that my baby can settle herself and sleep soundly in her bed, we were just worried that we would end up with a baby that wanted to be held all the time which is nice to start with but would be hard work as they got older.

anyone who's breastfeeding or expressing having a rough go? i find i am just so exhausted and my nipples are so sore. i am so frustrated and am trying not to give up but i am almost at my breaking point. i am expressing exclusively instead of bfing.

 

[lynnikins]

fitzbaby, i had a really bad patch with my breastfeeding but it seems to have settled now and my nipples are coping alot better with the aid of nipple shields, I know how rough it can be mentally as well as physically but it does get easier as they get older and settled into a routine.
I just have to get properly going with the breastfeeding and then i can work on the sleeping habits of Elliott who currently is co-sleeping to get him to sleep otherwise we have to put him in his carseat and swing it or take him for a drive to get him to sleep

[PineappleHead]

congrats all new mommies!!
to all the ones still waiting. Here's hopin something happens soon!

 

[lynnikins]

well as i posted in the babyclub thread I got some sleep last night and more important Elliott got some sleep , alot of it in fact which is a miricle and hopefully will mean we have a better day today than we have had caus hes been getting nowhere near 16 hours sleep out of every 24 hes been getting more like 6-7 which has left him overtired and grumpy so we tried letting him Cry it out in his crib, ( yes i know its not a popular choice for a baby his age but it worked with ds and for my mother with all 5 of her children and I trust my mothers advice and Elliott is big enough to handle it ) and we got him to sleep for 5 1/2 hours solid then he woke for a feed and was back asleep in under an hour and a half and didnt object to being put into his crib again which is something that he hasnt allowed us to do without waking up since birth, so im a happy mummy
