September Mum’s...

Now that we have some, here is a September Mum's sticky thread!

Yep, I thought it might give some of those bubs a wriggle on!

where are the september mums?! hope some manage to have their september babies. come on!!!! dont want to have a lonely ol' thread with no-one to post oh well.... looks like it will be changed to Sept/October mums??

where's stevie and kel? u still around???

I have a feeling we will be combining with the October mums! *sigh* I'll just squeak into September and I'm still hoping Frantic and Emeldee will join me!

Glad to hear that Kell. Jaxon looks like a little cutie

Glad to hear things are going well Kell. And that you will have some company in the Sept Mum's thread now that babies Paws and Emeldee have finally put in an appearance (and hopefully Frantic as well...)

Wahoo! The three of us actually made it in here...who would have thought!

Look forward to it Paws.

Yup I got out same day as you Frantic...it was so good to be back home!

Maddie is still a bit mixed up with night and day but she seems to be settling more with the formula feeds which is good.

I'm fairly pretty achy and tender still and seem to have more neck and back pain that when I was pregnant!!! I've constantly had a wheat sack attached to my back and now have one on my neck. That combined with the cabbage leaves down my bra to help with the achy boobs....I must look quite a sight! *lol*

You are so game going out to the shops!! I've got up and showered and that's as good as it gets! I'm taking it pretty easy and sleeping when I can (B did the night feeds last night and is still doing most of the nappy changes etc) or I'm on the sofa...making sure I get up and walk around though and doing a few light things around the place like making up bottles, steralizing, day feeds, catching up on OhBaby (oh hang on that's not housework related!)

Sodding midwife tricked me yesterday...told me I had to go have a blood test as the hospital didn't do one before I left. I was FORCED to get out of my pj's and leave the house. *sulk*

OK it wasn't too bad...we got out of the house...got to our destination...assembled the pram...remembered the baby...and even toddled around milford and visted a few people, so all in all pretty successful. So much so we went to Glenfield today and had lunch and picked up a few bits and pieces!

Maddie slept really well last night and was able to be settled! First decent night's sleep for mum and dad...here's hoping we can repeat that new trick!

The bottle feeding is going well and Maddie appears to be thriving...we have had some reflux issues but we've found by FORCING the little piglet to take breaks and therefore breath, not to mention burping her well, she does a lot better.

My nipples have finally healed up so much so I gave breastfeeding one more shot but sadly looks like the goods and well on thier way to drying up. At least this last experience was positive. I don't believe I have the energy to try to re-establish the breastfeeding now and we thought it best to stick to our decision to bottle feed. It's wierd though, I feel like I'm grieving over failing to breastfeed.

And sorry Maree...but my feet have finally reappeared under the swelling...hello feet!!
