We have a sleeper!

Little Blake is 3 weeks old now and so far it appears we have a sleeper. Hopefully I don't jinx myself lol.

Other than his 2 day growth spurt christmas eve and Christmas day where he woke every 2 hours he normally sleeps 3-4hour blocks. Last night he went from 7:45pm-12:45am fed until nearly 2am and slept until 5:15am! Couldn't believe it! Tyler woke every 2 hours for months and was so bad at his day naps. Blake can actually already settle himself back to sleep. Although a screaming toddler does make that hard for him sometime.

Even though I am getting so much more sleep I feel more tired than I did with Tyler. I have a really stuff neck so maybe a trip to the chiropractor might help. It's a little hard at the moment though without a routine knowing my luck Blake will want a feed right at my appointment time.

BFing is going so much better now. My nipples are all healed so I no longer have to use shields. Blake is attaching heaps better and feeding really well. My milk feels like it's establishing well this time.

We had a wonderful Christmas.
Tyler was old enough this year to understand things a little bit. He enjoyed all of his present played with them heaps. Boxing day I put the tree away and also some toys. I pulled out all the toys blake will start using soon and kept out the next stage ones for Tyler. Still lots of toys out though my whole living area is his play space.

Little Blake is now 4.2kg and 54cm! Growing so fast.

Tyler is doing well although has started the full on tantrums. Didn't helped having guests here that would run and give him attention as soon as he started his tantrum. May take some time but hopefully we will get back into his happy independent play. While i'm BFing he needs to be able to happily occupy myself.

So the 1/1/13 is a couple of days away and I have given myself nearly a month to recover from the birth so am looking forward to getting stuck into loosing this baby weight. My goal is to lose 30kg. Hopefully at least 25kg before my sisters wedding in august. I lost 11kg since the birth and I am planning on easing into things this time. I pushed it a bit hard after Tyler this time I know better. Slow walks and things to begin. The boys seem to be napping at the same time every day and as Blake is sleeping so well at night I don't need a day nap so am planning on using that time to start exercising. See how we go I won't beat myself up if I don't get to exercise every day. The house needs a good clean first lol

And talking of house work I should get started!
