LOL Maria. I still call Maya my 'baby' although strictly speaking I'm not sure what she is. Is she a toddler? Or a preschooler? Or a child? Hmmmm... the only thing I am certain of is that she is a MONKEY! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I agree 3 months and then they are an infant. It all goes too quickly I know that- or is that when I look back it seems to go quickly , I'm sure I remember thinking that those first few weeks are never going to end.

We sure do have a lot of time on our hands.
Maybe our next topic should be 'what is the meaning of life?' seeing as we are getting all philosophical

how bout the old "chicken or the egg" debate.. lol
yep milkfountain..what you said is so true right now i feel like these first weeks have gone so fast, yet sooo slow. I am back to having only 45 mins of unbroken sleep at a stretch during the night. and ayja has decided that instead of feeding at 12am, 3 am and 5 am.. she'll just stay awake from 11pm till 3 am, snooze 45 mins, feed at 4 am. then wake at 6am till 10am.... and sleep the day away after that. sorry, just my vent for the day. it sucks. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

| I hate it how babies decide to sleep during the day and lok all cute and cuddly. Jake used to stay up all night and go to sleep just as my alarm clock rang for me to get up......a lot of resentment!!! |

I can soooo relate. Im still feeding Jayde as you would a newborn at nearly 6 months old grrrrrr. Yesterday was a hell day, for one of her feeds that took an hour she only drank 20mls. Poor wee girl. You would have thought they would have her sorted by now. But no. ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

They are so cute and yet so manipulative at the same time! Kiya's sick at the moment, and Nathaniel and I had just got back into bed after sorting her out at 11pm last night... Josiah woke up for a feed, I burped him then lay him on my pillow to see if he was asleep - he smiled at me! The big "gosh, Mum, I love you" smile I'd been waiting for all day since he smiled like that at Nathaniel yesterday morning! He got a hug and a kiss, and put to bed wide awake. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

| Jake has developed a "I only love YOU!" look and a "You're the meanest mum in the world. Don't you love me anymore?" look. Very fun!!! |

Wait till they can tell you - Maya has started telling me "Mama I'm getting cross with you!" - wonder where she heard that!
I was lucky with her as a baby, she slept thru from 7 weeks, and never had any probs with wind etc. But I did my time's worth of sleepless nights when she was 7-11 mths when she was sick and in hospital which I think was actually worse because I would get so angry with her. I mean, I expected my newborn to cry and wake during the night, but I was spoilt with such a good newborn that when she regressed and had to be fed hourly during the night I would get angry and resent her because I knew that she knew how to sleep thru. I feel so guilty about it looking back, some nights I would just sit there and grind my teeth while she breastfed and pray and pray that she would hurry up before I got too stressed and hurt her. Whew, that vent must have been building up for a while! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

lol, it's settled back down a bit again.. i think she just does that every few days to build up supply etc..
it's paying off though.. at 3 weeks old, she is now 8lb.. she put on a pound this week. she is chubba my sister is back down for a few days in early july.. so will have more pics after that.. it's weird. i swear sometimes i get her out of bed and i think "you look bigger than when i put you to bed!" lolol.. maybe i'm just crazy. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

| I know exactly how you feel. My daughter is 4 weeks old, and we're going through a growth spurt at the moment. Talk about exhausted! She's fine during the day, but come evening when the milk isn't as good, she's a feeding monster... last night I was feeding every hour up until 3am... and in the gaps between I was trying to settle her. Very tired household today. Up until then she'd been a very regular feeder... every 3-4 hours. Hoping it is just a growth spurt and a passing phase! |

Argh, Ayja has turnedf back into a monster for the last few days, last night she was awake from 8pm till 2 this morning, woke at 4 until 4.30, woke at 5.30 then woke again at 7am till 11.30 this morning. she had a nice 3 hour sleep this arvo, and we are battling with the sleep/awake monster again tonight. I am like a zombie.
there she goes awake again. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Josiah had just started to get into a routine, then Kiya got a vomiting bug, and I got a cold, Nathaniel got sick and someone gave something to him! 2 weeks later, he's just getting better now... at least he's started sleeping for a 5 hour stretch - during the night! Definitly beats him waking every 2 hours! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |
