Topic: November Mummies Posted: 22 November 2006 at 11:45am |
I thought it was time to start this thread off...
Xavier is now 6 days old. He's sleeping well, eating well (2-3 hourly), burping not quite so well (so is a little spilly at times), and is starting to have awake periods during the day. Kiya and Josiah are both very proud of their little brother, and there hasn't been any jealousy so far that I've noticed!
I'm doing good... my tummy is disappearing, but given that Xavier is quite a bit bigger than either of the other two, there's a bit of work to do! I'm going to start going for walks now that the weather is finally getting nicer.
We got our new double pushchair yesterday - a Phil & Ted one... Nathaniel loves it! He wants to get all the accessories, its so cute! We walked to Kiya's school for parent/teacher interviews last night, and the puschair is so wonderful to use... much better than our old single one, even with both boys in it.

Good idea Becca. Glad to hear you and Xavier are doing well, hopefully Xavier starts burping as I know what a spilly bubs is like. And it sounds like Kiya and Josiah are adjusting really well.
The Phil & Ted buggy sounds great, ideally that would have been my first choice but I had to settle for a side-by-side umbrella style one, haven't been brave enough to use it yet.
I am going for daily walks, mainly to try and shift this jelly belly (its driving me nuts) and just getting out of the house is great. My mum has been staying with us so I have been able to leave the girls with her and have some time to myself. But unfortunately she took off this morning so I don't think I will be getting out and about as much.
Stephanie is doing well, growing heaps, shes almost grown out of her newborn clothes already! Just have to work on her night time routine, at the moment the longest she will sleep for is 2 hours, then she'll be awake for 1 1/2 hours. I've been sleeping on the sofa so that DH can get a good nights sleep.
Went clothes shopping on Monday (early xmas present form Mum) as I don't want to wear my maternity stuff but it will be awhile before I can squeeze back into my pre-preggy stuff, so its really nice to have some clothes that fits properly. The lady in the shop did ask me when I was due which was rather embarrasing, never mind.

I do have a photo of him jst been pulled out of my tummy but thought it might be a little gorie for some people ... Blood stuff.
Will post birth story when I get my head around everything.. baby brain to the max.
We went on our first outing last night to see Rhyley's older sister Brooke in her drama play, I went prepared with pillow, water and blanket (hey I just had a baby) Rhyley slept thru the whole thing even when the lady behind us was taking sooooooooooo many photos the flash was giving me a head ache DH said he thought I was going to turn round and give her an ear full (the mood I was in - don't mess with a just given birth mother in pain hehe) but no after all she just wanted to get her kids/grand kids on camera.
First night at home I decided to put Rhyley in with us --- hence he is in his own room tonight. He slept 2 1/2 hours then woke up and messed about on boobie and dummy (yes I get it out to give it a go anything for some sleep) for 2 hours then finally settled again and slept from 3.30am till 8am, I lay him in bed with me for another half hour then we got up, he actually didn't feed till around 9.15am but then it was a good feed. He is getting to like the dummy as the Midwife at the home said he seems to suckle on me for comfort alot of the time, and that can get sore. Hes also go a bit of jaundice but feeding and is alert when awake so no biggie just yellows skinned.
All in all things are going good and I a surprised how I feel quite good after only having surgery 5 days ago. I have tried not to push it though and only done 'easy' house work.

Thanks Suzi I am guessing your older two are not your husband biological children? Same here, but Dh is getting sick of people asking him how it feels like being a dad , he keeps reminding them that he was already a Dad (very cool to say that).
I do have to fight for the 'my' time with Rhyley when he is awake and alert as Dh and Brooke are always wanting him - fair enough I guess but I do like to have time with him when hes not just feeding off me. Josh is saying he is always sleeping when he wants a cuddle. Oh to be that popular.. :-)

Such a little cutie.
I read on another forum I belong to that a December baby has made it into November. And then Trish did too.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!
