Hey girls, just to let you know we are home from hospital now. All tests were negative so they reckon it's just some sort of virus although he's still getting temp. This is day 6 of fever! He's much better in himself than he was at the start though so fingers crossed he will get over it in the next couple of days xx

Aww missy, that sounds horrible, but so glad all tests were okay.
I was telling my dw at the beginning of the month that this time last year we were at the Wildernesses festival, our last holiday before ttc. And on this day last year I did my first insemination. I never really thought it would work, but Aidan was just meant to join us! It's crazy.
My best friend gave birth yesterday! She swore it was a boy but it was a girl, so that's 3 daughters and 2 mothers. She was texting me throughout her early labour to help keep her mind off of it. Her little girl arrived 5 hrs after her waters broke. I got all emotional when she rang me with the news. They now have one that looks like each genetic makeup, one like her, one like her wife and one like the donor. Crazy.
We are off to Ireland a week from tomorrow. His grandparents are so excited! I'm worried I'll miss something or my car seat might get damaged or he'll be extremely fussy on the flight. Taxi at 4:30am, so ill feed him just before and then we get to the airport around 5:45am and our flight is at 7:55am. With checking in luggage we don't want to risk things with Ryanair. Then we can grab breaky too.

Awe hun. The days like that can be really hard. If you're worried you can always speak to your health visitor. There are bugs flying around at the moment. A week after anyas jabs and I'm poorly again lol. At least we don't have to gave thus bloody live virus again!
I've ordered a special treat for myself.... the Dyson hairdryer! It's arriving on Monday. I'm going to have a bath and then dey my hair with it. There is a leak somewhere under my bath we have mushrooms! Who knows what the heck we are going to do about that!

Eleanor only has short naps throughout the day. I have to run round like a mad woman to try and get stuff done!
I'm so happy and proud of myself! I decided I'd try and freeze all my expressed milk in the hopes of getting a full or at least half feed of mummy's milk for her. Decided to defrost it yesterday as I'd filled all my pots (been using little weaning pots) and see if I had the 3 oz I'd hoped for and....
8!!! 8oz!!! Those few mls each time have added up to 8 bloody ounces!!
It's taken a month mind you! Lmao!! Started it on 22/07!! But who cares! I split it into 2 x 4 oz bottles to ensure it wouldn't be wasted and she had one last night and one this morning with a couple of oz top up after.

What is SNS? Congrats on the milk! That is loads! How much does she drink in a feed? I need to express some as I'm out for the night in a couple of weeks and I don't know how much to leave my oh.
Eeek lisey I've got my fingers crossed we can skip that. How much sleep are you getting?

Don't think I've seen any like that hun, sorry.
She takes between 4-6 oz a feed, so it took me a month to express a a feed basically! Lol!
SNS is a supplemental nursing system. It's basically a very thin tube that you tape to your nipple and the other end is in a bottle of formula so she can receive formula while nursing rather than from a bottle. I'm not sure how successful we'll be with it as she's so reluctant to nurse properly and also if it's a ball ache then I'll not bother either!

I haven't seen those snowbee but will let you know if I come across anything like that.
She has had nights where she is waking hourly to 2 hourly! Exhausting. I can get her back to sleep with a little comfort on some of the waking but not all. I think they all go through the 4 month regression as it's about their sleep patterns changing, they experience lighter and rem sleep so easier for them to wake. Hopefully won't be as troublesome for all of you as it is for us. Sophie is also teething though so think that is contributing to it xx
