Yawn!

38 weeks 4 days

Well its 5.12am and I just cant not get comfy! I am dead tired but whenever I lay down I just feel so uncomfortable :(

I went to bed at 11pm and Samuel woke at 2am. A bottle didn't help settle him and he just looked too wide awake for that time of the morning. I changed his nappy and made some weatbix as even I was hungry. He ate some of that, had some panadol as his fingers were in his mouth, and then another bottle. He finally fell back asleep but since then I haven't been able to. Ive still got another 1.5 weeks of feeling like this :(

No idea why his sleeps are so random. Up until a few days ago he was sleeping through again without a peep and then he pulls this crap. God help me when I'm dealing with him and a newborn.

Well I had my 38 week checkup on Tuesday. Everything perfect as always. The midwife had a good feel and he's 3/5th engaged. She said when I come back in at 40 weeks she can do an internal to get things going but I think I'm just going to take the castor oil.

On Tuesday 15th Samuel will be at daycare all day so I'm going to sleep til as late as possible, then go to my 40 week checkup, then come home and get Samuel, then drink that horrible castor oil! But hey, if it works like last time then I'm all for it.

Yesterday I had a private Lactation Consultant visit me. Her name is Linda Wilson and she was fantastic. I really feel so much more confident in going into breastfeeding this time around. I also think because Ive read up on it much more and am more information has helped a lot.

On the weekend Elliot went and picked up a deep freezer from a girl on maternal (bought it for $190). He also picked up a large freestanding wardrobe from super amart. We have set them up in the computer room (LOL as you do). I was so excited about finally having a large freezer I went shopping the next day with Sammy and bought up big! I bought stuff for about 10 different meals and went to super butcher in yatala and bought bulk of meat. Started cooking when I got home but its very tiring. Im doing a few meals a day. By the time bubs comes it will be nice and full and I wont have to worry about cooking in the first few weeks.

Im still continuing to express colostrum (even though I have heaps already) as its just an automatic thing to do now. Dont know when Ill use it though!

Anyways Im going to go and try and get a little sleep before I start the day with Samuel. I have a feeling its going to be a LOOOOONG day

Sammy is 2 months!

Well my little man is 2 months old! Although it does feel like he has been in our lives forever! Thought I would do an update on us while Samuel is having a sleep. He is such a good baby, and I noticed this since we made the fulltime switch to formula. I tried with b/f but it just wasnt working for us. S is such a more contented and happy baby. S had his 2 month needles the other day and it was the hardest thing I have had to do! I had to hold his poor little legs down while they stuck the needles in him. The first one was bad and he cried but stopped pretty much straight away, but the second one OMG He screamed so loud and his face went bright red and he was so sad.... :( It took me 10 mins to soothe him. Im defiantely not looking forward to his 4 month needles. He is almost sleeping through the night now! Bedtime is between 7-730pm, and I follow the bath, bottle, bed routine. This has helped him realise bedtime is approaching and he starts to unwind! He will generally sleep until bet...

Mr Timmy came for a visit

Image
34 weeks 6 days Tim was up in QLD for his school rock-band tour and so we decided to meet up for dinner. It had been over a year since we had seen him last. We went to the Glen Hotel and had a nice dinner. A few hours before we had left Samuel fell face first into gravel in the front yard. Poor lil thing was all scratched up. But he was really well behaved considering it was late at night when he's usually fast asleep. Here are some pics:

Merry Christmas Everyone

Just a quick blog post for our Christmas Day at the Johnson Household. We spent the day at home just chilling. The boys opened their presents when they woke up. They got a mountain bike each and a few other bits and pieces and Elijah opened his pressie as well. We had mum over for lunch. It was a nice day :)
