Bethan at 3 weeks old

She did a 7 hr stretch last night! She has been going to bed around 8-9pm and doing 6 hrs until 2 am and then going back down from 3 - 6 am but last night she slept from 8-3am then back down from 4-7am. It was lovely to have that much sleep. She's doing so well, she was 4.3kg at 2 weeks 2 days which is about 700grams up from her birth weight. She's in a bit of a routine during the day too, ive been trying to get her to have a little sleep in the morning, but the a bigger 2 +hr sleep at lunchtime, and then she will just do a few little naps before bedtime.  In the next few weeks I will work on getting her bed time down to 7pm and then 6pm. She also started cooing properly at 3 weeks 2 days and has been smiling since day 4.

Bethan's Birth story

In the week or so leading up to Bethan's due date I had been having a lot of painful braxton hicks which we thought may have been the start of labour, but unfortunately did not eventuate. On Friday the 20th March I had my 40+2 appointment, where they did a stretch and sweep and the Dr said he thought I would go into labour that night or the next day as I was 3 cm dilated already, my waters were bulging and everything was looking favourable. I had some contractions Saturday morning but they fizzled out. Then on the Monday I had more contractions and bub wasn't moving as much so we went in to be monitored. She had a few decelerations but everything was fine in the end. They did another stretch and sweep and I had to go back in the morning for my 41 week appointment. They booked my induction for Friday 27th and I was to ring at 6 am to find out when to go in. I rang and was told there was no beds and they would ring again in the afternoon to let me know. In the afternoon they

I have been super slack again even though I did want to update on this pregnancy a bit more as it's my last. All going well aside from low blood pressure. Finally starting to feel her a little bit more, because my placenta is anterior I don't feel her very regularly yet which I don't like but I'm sure that will change once she gets a bit bigger. Life is generally busy and getting busier as christmas nears. I am not fond of the busyness, but I just have to push through. Matt should have a couple weeks of at Christmas so hopefully we will have some time to relax, and get some things organised for the new year. Once Christmas is done there will only be 2 months until she is here. The church's op shop was having a sale the other week and so we went and got a lot of pink clothes, and some toys for the boys. The best part was they were only .10c each and very good quality! Only spent about $5.60 and got 50 things!
