Feel awful that I haven't checked in or posted for SUCH a long time. But I think as my computer is in a place where it's not really comfy to feed, I only get a chance to lurk here and there and by the time I feel I've caught up I have to get on with something else, er, like catch up on sleep while he naps!
Having said that he hasn't napped at all today - amfamiliar with the constant 6pm-10pm boob 'n' cry, but today we've had it all day as well - really weird, as he's been very regular with a sleepy period right from 10am to around 4pm, breaking only for boob 'n' nappy changes. Glad that DP is here as he was away for a whole week last week (luckily MIL is not far away and was really helpful, coming over to stay for a couple of nights etc).
Also, DD1 is suddenly a monstertantrum mare, perhaps the first 4 weeks had novelty factor but now we're into fifth week she's having to really consider the finality of little bro having mummy's attention, and not dealing with it very well - and with lack of sleep I'm not dealing with it very well all the time either 
!!!
totally sleep deprived most of the time as Max hasn't been that great at night, and by the time he's settled at around 5am DD has been waking quite soon after (seriously!) if not between 5 and 6 then definitely from 6am, so very little respite there!
Oops, I'm all moan moan moan me! But I think having been on a bit of a high the first three weeks, I've had a bit of an anticlimax - not helped at all by this really really WEIRD lump on my tongue which started like an ulcer and which I went to the doctor with (who prescribed antibiotics) in the first week or so, but just got worse, then bled here and there (and wouldn't stop, really scary) which was during the week DP was away.
Am now on mainly smoothie/soup diet which is SOOOO depressing (especially as I did an online food shop just before it all happened, full of nice BF treats & snacks) as if I chew on stuff the lump gets in the way and feels like a bit of food and I end up chewing on it - yum! Got appt finally through at hospital next Monday so am hoping it'll soon be behind me.
He's still putting on tons of weight despite any lack of food in me 
and is now 5.33kg or 11 lb 12oz which is madness - am glad to say, though, that I do feel I'm back to pre-pregnancy weight (perhaps a bit less) so that's a nice surprise.
Our main niggle has been that Max doesn't seem to settle lying down on his back very well. He's really mucousy still and prefers being upright in the sling or on my tummy. I'm trying to wean him off this as we've fallen asleep together many a time and I know it's the worst thing to do re: SIDS. But at 4am after an hour and half and he still won't lie down it's really hard not to. Have the cot on a slant already and using the saline drops (which seemed to help last night but now he's been awake screaming all day I can't help thinking there might be a link). We've got a friend who is a cranial osteopath who we'll take him to next week. It worked with DD when she was a baby so cross fingers it'll help calm him down.
Well, DP just took him for a walk in the pram and I think he's STILL asleep - result!
Will try check in more often - but really reassuring reading now and then and realising that we're all (pretty much) going through similar things!
Scuse the deluge of info - been wanting to post for a long while as you can see!
