Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Lucy - how did u get that right? with Tessa sleeping so well?
Amelia goes to sleep at 6pm then shes up for feeds at 930, 12, 230, and 5. any ideas how i can get her sleep longer?
I also wanted to ask, did u say you were using a lansinoh pump? how is it working for u? I love mine!

Looks like you ladies had an awesome get together. Im so jealous! next cpt meet im going to consider flying down there

kimika - what happened abt you coming to the beach?

lucy and libra - maybe we should meet up sometime?

Meags ditto to what the other ladies said. You look lovely in the pic of the meet.

Schatsie - Arno is growing! If is too cute.

Libra - try putting M's blanket in the microwave for a minute before you wrap her. That will stop the cold waking her up as she'll be all snuggley.

Cath I would have been in a right state. Glad you made it on time.

I seem to be battling with my milk supply since mauritius. Really hope it picks up soon. Tessa hasn't complained yet but the boobs always feel pap. She is still such a champ night sleeper, for which I thank my lucky stars. Goes down between 9 and 10pm and I wake her at 5 for a feed! Got a weigh in tomorrow ...eager to see what she weighs. Like you missesmom most of the 3 to 6 month clothing doesn't fit. What a waste of money.

Libra, meagn looks too cute for words!!! I agree life is so different - and so much better even! I can't imagine our lives without our little one he is too adorable! he's been sleeping through for some time but that's only if I make sure he has his bot bot at like 8pm + (his last one) if his last feed is at 18h30 then he is guaranteed to wake up at 2am but if he has had his bottle at 8 oclock + 9which he does 90% of the time then he'll sleep easilyl til 05h30/06h00. He also falls asleep in his cot and int he mornings his hands are soooo cold so we bring him into the bed but still trying to keep him in the routine of going to sleep in cot although he falls asleep in pram then we transfer him when we go to bed, he wakes up, has his last bottle then he's ready to sleep for the night. he's such a little champion and when he wakes up he makes the most BEAUTIFUl sounds as he awakes – sometimes he wakes up with a small but drawn out ‘ooooh’ (big wide eyes when we go look) and then times like this morning he wakes up with a rambunctious SHOUT OUT to the world and then goes on to test his pitches – high high, low low, etc! Adorable beyond speech we just love lying in bed listening to the concert!!
love to everyone! meags, what have you decided re staying longer i think you must definitely stay longer will you be coming via joburg again at all???

Hello!!

Schatsie I agree, my life has changed just a much. Cannot imagine my life without my girlie, I sometimes feel like I have known her forever! I live in Richards Bay, KZN.

I don't know whether it has to do with the cold, but it takes me between 30 min and an hour to get Megan back to sleep in the middle of the night. She falls asleep and the moment I put her in her cot she wakes up again. I try ignorning her for a little bit to see if she'll fall back to sleep but it doesn't work. She used to fall back to sleep so easily, but not anymore. I hope she goes back to her old routine soon. For a week or so she even slept through at night - I think she was just teasing me then

Great she has just woken up and is crying, I better run!

Good afternoon all!

Arno is 3 months/13 weeks old today!

I can not believe how much my life has changed since his birth, but it has been the most wonderful 3 months ever! It is hard to believe how much I love this little man!

How is everyone? It is still rather quiet around here!

Meags I think you husband's ass needs some serious kicking!

Libra where are you from?

Looks like you all had a great time at the Cape Town meet, I am quite jealous...

Meags sorry to hear about your whole situasion. I agree with Cathm, he should not be called 'd', unless you want to substitute it with an Afrikaans word that starts with a 'd' But I do hope you get it all sorted out and sorry about the watch, that is a lot of money!!

Have to run off again, Megan hasn't been sleeping too well the last week or so, don't know whats up with her... Hope she starts sleeping through soon, I seriously miss my sleep...

Oh and thanks for everyone's response about the sleeping times

oh man that pic of you all soo jealous couldn't be there - didn't even make the jhb meet long story basically planes delayed almost late for william's baptism nightmare of a trip! Schatsie, Arno is a big boy and the nanny looks gorgeous!

Meags that's just SHOCKING about your dh who should not be called 'd' LOL! Sorry man but that's seriously shocking!!! Don't freak out now but should you not recommend he goes for some type of counselling re alcohol abuse he appears to drink alot and normal people don't black out like that unless they've got some problem hey? In my experience anyway as I do counselling in the area - thinking of you!!!!

love to everyone! loving the little one!!!
