And then there were 2 :)

I cant complain to be honest hun! Found it really hard at first as Meri was feeding none stop. Ended up with her on formula. She is so greedy she has about 6 8oz bottles a day. But she sleeps really well. Last night she went to bed at 8 and didn't wake up until 5:45. Then went back to sleep after a quick feed and slept until 9:30! Formula just seems to really suit her despite me feeling really guilty about stopping breastfeeding. She has also put 3lb on in just over 2 weeks! Little fatty.

Loving motherhood. She's such a cutie!

Well when you want to get back on the weightless wagon let me know and we will spur each other on. It's hard work when you haven't had to think about it for so long.

Taffy you can get away with it when your breastfeeding!!! As soon as I stopped the pounds started piling on! And I found when I was breastfeeding I wanted sugar constantly! Dread to think how many bars of chocolate I got through. Ha!!!

Oh and also...I was really bad and put Meri in her own room at 6 weeks! She is such a noisy sleeper and we all sleep much better than we did before. Like Taffy I have never looked back!

Ahh so glad you two have put your LO's in their own room early makes me feel less guilty for doing so now even though she doesnt seem to be sleeping much better!

Taffy...wish i could just walk and walk while Missus sleeps...not joking when shes hungry she wants feeding there and then, my other DD used to even sleep past feed times when in the car or pram, Lexi is super demanding and wont wait for anyone lol!

Spammy...i cant believe how well Meri feeds, no wonder she sleeps so well, i think thats Lexi's problem, the most she has ever taken in one go is 5oz and thats only ever happened once grr!! And yes...as soon as OH gets paid and i get my nice healthy WW fodder in i shall let you know and at least if were having a hard day or whatever and need choccy we can tell each other off haha!

I was naughty last night, after having Lexi in her own room Saturday night, i ad her back in her moses basket last night just because i was shattered and its just easier to pluck her from the side of me at feed times rather that walking zombified into her room every 2 hours or so! She slept pretty crappy as well, she fell asleep downstairs at 8:10pm, we went up to bed at 9:15pm and she woke for her first feed at 23:15pm her next feeds were 01:40am, 3am, 5am and 06:15am and once again i feel completely bushed and in desperate need of sleep!! I just wish she would sleep! Everyone elses babies seem ok at her age so why is mine so blooming awkward!! I thought the new formula was supposed to make her go longer between feeds...but no, shes just the same! I just dont know what else to try to get her to feed better and sleep longer! Even going in her own cot didnt make a bloody difference! Sometimes i just find it so hard waking so often!! Cannot wait until shes sleeping longer, even 4 hourly would do me just fine!

I know its hard hun Leo was the same arid wouldn't take more than 4oz till he was well over 6 months. Wasn't on full bottles till he was nearly one.

I had crap night not because of Elliott Leo decided to wake up all night screaming for his dummy and peter but not opening his eyes just rolling around in his cot x

Aww toddlers can be such hardwork at times, i remember having to go into Elise to give her her dummy a lot! At least Elliott had a decent night for you though!

[deedee84]

I'm not gonna be a lazy arse no more and put Lexi in her cot as and when i feel like it! She is gonna go permanently in her cot and i'm gonna try make her got a little longer between feeds through the day too, like yesterday for instance, she had a bottle at 4:45pm and an hour after the feed she was wanting more, so i gave her water with a tiny bit of juice in it, i intended to give her a milky bottle at 7pm but she was content come 7pm so i left her until she wanted feeding, maybe thats why she slept better last night!
She fell asleep at 9pm, i took her up and put her in her cot at 9:35pm but she woke more or less straight away for a feed so i gave her a bottle and she went straight back down! She next woke at 12;05am, then 1:15am and after that feed it was a bit better, waking next at 3:40am and then 5:30am so we didnt do too badly and i didnt feel overly sleepy during the feeds which made a nice change!

OH has been nagging for some sexy time but tbh i am just too knackered, i told him if he wants some fun then he better start letting me get some sleep on a weekend then i might have some energy! And he's wanting to quit work and let me work instead...pfft, i dont think for one minute he would cope with the night feeds...see how much he would want sexy time then eh!!!!

[misscrazycooki]

Men eh x hope she starts to go longer but Elliott goes about two hours during the day sometimes but i just think oh well at least he sleeps so must want it during day x

yeah missus sleeps much better during the day, she must like my sofa thats why i thought moving her into her cot might be better as shes got room to flail her arms around then like she does downstairs! At least we had a semi decent night last night, i would love LOVE her to go 4 hourly though, wishful thinking for now mi thinks!! Hurry up 4 month milestone, lets get some solids into little lady

God i'm bloody dreading tomorrow, its Lexi's 2nd lot of jabs! I was on the verge of crying with her last lot, even Elise had her hands over her ears and looked upset and it was so so hard to calm her down afterwards, just the look on her little face so i thought i'd ask mum to take her for me this time around, only now, i feel guilty for not going in with her! I cant win, i feel guilty if i take her putting her through the pain etc, i feel guilty if i let mum take her as i feel like she will wonder where her mummy is!! Might be a good idea if i go with mum in the car and see how i feel once i've booked her in etc! I am really dreading it like to the extent where i have an awful feeling in my tummy it sounds so trivial i know but Elise dealt with pain really well and i never had to try and calm her for ages after, she just settled and that was that!!

Anyhoooo...just needed to get that off my chest, been thinking about it for the past few weeks now and letting it build up inside!

She hasnt got a favourite toy as such yet although she does have a baby book which she gets highly engrossed in so may have to take that, thats if she can open her eyes enough through the tears to see the book poor babba's!!

Well no such luck in having another half decent night last night, i fed lil legs at 9:40pm and took us up to bed at 10pm, she woke for her first feed at 12:40am which was a good stint tbh...3 hour stint aint bad, so i kinda expected the night to go really well, until she woke then at 2;05am then 3:35am, 04:50am and lastly 6;05am i did notice that she was only taking an oz at each feed so that would explain why she was waking so often, i just dont know what else i can do to make her feed longer on a night, nothing i do wakes her up so that she will take more formula, the only thing i can think of doing is spanning her feeds out more through the day so that shes more hungrier at night time as it seems shes getting her fill through the day and just topping up at night and i could really do with it been the other way round!

Missus has her jabs this aft too 2:50pm shes there! Mums coming straight to mine after work and were going in the car! Properly dreading it!!
This is her five minutes ago kicking hell outta me as if to say "yeah ya bitch i'll get ya back for sending me to that nasty nurse again"

[Spammy]

Oh no. Not the dreaded jabs!!! I took Meri for her first lot last week and it was so awful I wanted to cry!!

I took my mother in law with me though. She held her while she had the jabs and I comforted her after. That way she was the bad guy not me. Ha ha.

Hope it's not too traumatic for you.

 

[deedee84]

Thanks hun, think i'm gonna let mum take her in for the jabs and i'll wait in the waiting room for her coming back for mummy cuddles! She proper sobbed her little heart out last time and it broke my heart as i just couldnt comfort her for a good 15 minutes hope she deals with it a little better today, fx!

[Spammy]

How did the jabs go hun?

 

[deedee84]

Well mum took her in for em, i chickened out and sat in the waiting room, i heard her scream out and braced myself for the next injection, but then the nurse popped her head around the door and said "all done you can come in now" seems little miss dealt with the first jab fine, not so good the 2nd one but in all fairness she didnt take as long to be settled afterwards shes been a very sleepy, but mischevious little lady since, trying to sit up in her pram earlier and talking away to me! Shes just had a bottle and flaked out straight away, didnt even flinch when i put her on the sofa bless!! So all in all it didnt go too badly, but mum can still take her next month again

Here she is all snug in her pram waiting for daddy at asda earlier
