was due on 7th but Freya decided to arrive a few days early on 3rd November. Have just got home and first night is going fine, apart from the fact that the little tink refuses to sleep in her moses basket!
Hope everyone has trouble free births and joins us soon!

I can't believe she's a week old already.. she's not even meant to be here yet! I'm in a mild state of shock that she's here already and that I've recovered so well (compared to when I had Cole) and that she's being so good.. she's a sucky baby and after 2 days of rough nights we said bollocks to it and went and bought dummies and now she's settled much better and doesn't even want teh dummy all the time... she's actually sleeping better than cole lol!
Got the hv coming on wednesday and I think I might have a decent one this time!! The one I had with my son was absolutely useless (and I found out that she actually has a really bad reputation around here) but I might actually pay attention to this one if she talks sense lol.
Hope everyone else is doing ok and all the other november babies hurry up!
The midwife who was seeing me was lovely but I've heard mixed messages about health visitors - they seem to get a bit of a bad review? I feel like they are coming to check up on me and analysing wether I am a good/crap mum?!
Hope urs went ok hun xxx

I was so not looking forward to having to deal with the hv on a regular basis again because she is dreadful and I can't stand her patronising know it all attitude when she is actually wrong about stuff but it was a different one that rang and she actually seemed nice so hoping I'm well rid of the old one.
Tegan hadn't put on any weight between last thursday and yesterday so we are topping her up at night with formula so got the mw coming again tomorrow as well as the hv...good job cole is at nursery really as its gonna be a busy day. Just hoping she'll have put on a bit of weight...especially if we end up having to see the old hv while they are keeping an eye on her cause I probably will end up telling her where to go!
Hope your visit went ok
I did have to feed her though as she got grizzly, HV was impressed with our BF-ing and general health.
She was born at 6lbs 6 and now is 7lbs so she's regained her birth weight and some more so thats excellent esp as she a little early.
Really pleased about it today, we got some sleep which was great (6-7 hours) and I have loads of baby groups to join and clinic stuff which is fabulous as I was so worried about being isolated and being young (23) I was concerned I wouldn't be confident enough to go to them but she was so kind I feel pretty good about it.
Yay!
Imogen, 15 days!

Care_bear - I used to alternate Lily between her carry cot, swinging cradle thing and playmat during the day. Will probably do the same when this baby arrives.

Literally just give anything a go, even popping her in the car seat and rocking it while I cook lunch seems entertainment enough for her lol.
We had to move her to her cotbed though as she doesnt care for her basket anymore which sucks so I use it as a play area or general putting down space if I need to pop to the toilet!
She's having some pretty bad nights lately, we only got 1 hr sleep last night so I think we need to keep her awake more in the afternoon/evening. God its hard waking a sleeping baby but I cant keep going like this, I'll probably fall down!

Just waiting on the hv turning up now...she said 12ish so I'm now impatient as its 5 past! I hate all this waiting in. Think it might be time to start lunch - sure that'll guarantee her turning up.
Hes been cranky this afternoon but i can tell hes had wind bless him. Hv turned up 2day knew who she was and shes lovely. He is 7lb 1oz now so pleased with that.. xx
