ssmile, yes I think she is a lot more settled now, and there is a little bit of a pattern to her sleep at night. I'm going to look at when she feeds and see if there is a pattern to that, would be nice to know. She started to settle a little earlier last night, would be nice if that continues. We get a similar sleep to you, a long stint 4ish hours and then about 2 hours and then 1 hour, to 4, then 1 then 2.
ssmile/jimmi, that's the thing for me about having a second LO, Edith is a dream really, very placid and chilled etc etc, and so it makes thinking about number 2 very easy, but then you have the what will no 2 be like in comparison, won't stop us trying though, just hope it's not too different.
Alice sorry to hear you are having BP probs.
Hello and welcome to the 'other side' candr, millebow and TP :)
candr, re DTD the first time we did it it hurt a lot and we stopped and took to other fun things
the second time less so, the third time was much better, and felt only like the pain was where I have have my episiotomy as opposed to the whole area, it's not pain free yet, but much much better and I think it will be OK again soon, hopefully anyway, will mention it to the doc when I see her for 8 week check.
TP, it does pass :) And if your LO does go over the HV scales he won't be the first one. We also had a mad few days around the same time as you, LO was feeding feeding feeding feeding and quite difficult to wind for a while, but it passed. Just waiting for the 6 weeks growth spurt now!
sebs massive congratulations :) Woohoo a Sept babies wedding :) (we've yet to plan the date for ours)
White noise app, I've not tried using it to settle LO, she seems to be OK most of the time, occasionally she really really fights going to sleep, and I've started to really be able to tell when she is tired as opposed to hungry. No doubt she will change her noises now I've got used to them!
We've just had a lovely weekend away, went to visit friends, stopped at the in laws (even though we're not married yet I'll call them that for ease) had 3 nights in a travel cot and she slept really well :) She's properly chattering away to herself, loves being on her back on the floor/a mat. She's started smiling properly now, although we have wind smiles still there are proper reactive smiles now :) Went to church and sat under the organ, she slept the whole way through the service and songs! Really feel like we are settling into a night time routine now, hoping it keeps up :)
Was mega tired this morning so OH took her for a feed and I slept for another almost 2 hours :) woohoo, I like that. We work well, I'm a night person and he is a morning person so we get a good deal if either of us need some extra sleep :) OH has the day off today which is lovely, just chilling out for the afternoon.
