:(...I'm really sorry to hear that Charlotte is not sleeping again...:( Can you talk to tresillian again maybe??? I know that babies can change their sleep patterns and I am worried that Arielle will soon stop sleeping at night....I hope she doesn't though ( ... )

Hi Amanda, thanks for the sweet reply ( ... )

That's why I didn't call you when I read my post (as tht was my initial reflex...to call you to see if you wee ok) because yu said she just went to sleep so I assumed you'd get some sleep too if you could. I'm glad you did...even if it's only 30 mins ( ... )

I'm glad she is on the formula now too.I had a confusing time as I was being advised by two different health care professionals, one from my early childhood centre who was an advocate of breastfeeding & kept insisting I should NOT use formula & that charlotte would be fine on breastmilk alone, then another from tresillian who was VERY concerned about Charlottes weight & insisted I give her formula supplement & even rang the midwife at the early childhood centre & had WORDS with her about the advice she had been giving me ( ... )

This is all very normal.. you will have to take it one step at a time and you are doing all you can do for you and your perfect pumpkin..

I think you are doing an amazeing job..and when its time to go back to work it will feel right and shell be waiting for you till then .. so hes right try not to think about that part till then and focus on the schedule which is a big joke with babys...lol

youll be fine..we are made for this

am i being sappy .. i just want to show you support.. im here i dont sleep much so the time thing may not be a big deal if you ever want to chat..

Honest I try not to think so much but I just can't seem to control it very well.

Charlotte is happy & playing in her baby gym at the moment which makes me happy.

I try to do the best job I can with her, when she has tummy pains I massage her & I cuddle her heaps & try to make sure she has everything she needs.

Sometimes it is hard to keep up with her when I haven't had enough sleep, I get very emotional when I haven't slept enough.

Thanks for your kid reply.

im sure you are doing a perfect job!

being tired is the hardest part.. thats why we have so many instincts .. cause thats what we run off of when you become a zombie...

your hormones are still out of whack and lack of sleep makes anyone emotional dont feel bad .. your doing great ..
