Just getting 5 mins while Leo sleeps. He has slept the total of an hour today. He just loves being awake and cooing!! and not going down at the moment. OH holds him all time which is fine when he's here but then he goes to work and i cant put him down!!!

DF and Silas both your children are gorgeous and can definitley see the simliarities between them. Leo is like havin my eldest all over again he is the image of him.

Weezy - You can definitely see the resemblance in that picture! SO CUTE.

Madelyn has been sleeping nearly all day, so she hasn't been bothering me. But Joseph sure is doing my head in. I have to keep hiding the XBox 360 controller from him because he keeps finding it and sticking it in his mouth! My OH would have a fit at it, so have to keep the "precious" game console safe while he is at work.

god i have a little grumpy baby tonight found the only thing that makes her quiet is... lying her on her changing mat and taking her nappy off strange child.

still struggling with getting her to settle during the night. i can't wait for the day that she settles after her bottle and bum change no bother... just now she's chattering away to some black and white posters hah

 

[pinklizzy]

I bought some gripe water today in the hope that it might help Erin settle after her night feeds. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to give it to her She hates it and most of it ends up being spat everywhere!

Eva loves it too, we call it "no nappy time". I fold over a large beach towel a few times and lie her on that in the lounge room so I.can then watch tv or do a bit of housework

I have given gripe water dipped on a dummy but they don't get much of it that way!

I have given it straight on a spoon, but Evan likes it so he takes it that way. Also read on here about mixing 5ml with an ounce of water in a bottle. That worked too

Other than that if she doesn't like it I think it may not work or just perservere with it x x

 

[anna matronic]

Hopefully I will get a chance tomorrow I appologise to everyone for being slow

Well I had a crappy day today. Evan didn't sleep again much last night. the annoying thing is he isn't crying and screaming he is just awake Plus he was feeding like a trooper and it got right on my tits (literally!!)

So tonight we are on night one of formula. So far 3 ounces at 9.30pm slept till 12am, then another 3 ounces of formula and a tiny bit of boob and straight to sleep. He doesn;t seem to take more than 3 ounces from me, but takes 4-5 ounces if my mum feeds him!

I took Evan out in the ICE to a party this afternoon. I am surprised I am in one piece taking that buggy into town! Still I think he enjoyed the change of scenary and the music and bright disco lights

I have decided if the formula works tonight then I think I am slowly going make the change. It makes me sad But he is barely sleeping longer than the odd hour unless it is on me and I can't keep that going. I love feedinghim and I love hi sleeping on me but I need a life. Cos he doesn't sleep upstairs with me he only sleeps when I get hi up and we both end up sleeping from a few hours between 6am to midday and that's the day gone. A bad habit that needs to be broken, espeically as I am going home in a few weeks to be a proper single mum, so need to be able to cope as today mum had to take him whilst I had a cry. Turned out he had wind after a big burp I'd been winding him for ages and nothing came up. Annoyed!!

I hope Pixelle if you read this you don't stay away hun. Even if you just come on here for a moan and some support? I was thinking maybe give your HV a call so you can have a chat with someone? Who knows if it is just hormones, tiredness, you are a little down or it is PND, but it will be good to talk to someone x x

Wonderful photos ladies. I want to take some of Evan if he is calm anough to let me try and be arty farty

I am going to start writing Evans baby book tomorrow. Bit sad I got to keep the dad bits blank. I could fill it out I suppose, but if he has never seen him or cares i guess there is zero point

Omg, Madelyn rolled OFF the couch. I didn't even know she COULD roll over.

I was in the other room, and all I heard was a thump, my heart skipped a durn beat and I charged in to the living room - sure enough she was on the floor. I can hardly believe it. I feel like such a damn idiot.

To top it all off OH and I got in to it. Called my cousin to come get me, but OH refused to let me take the kids. I ended up crying my eyes out begging for him to just let me take the kids. He refused. So I left with my cousin, but I didn't make it very far before coming back.
