Tuesday night I took the night shift again as Nic had to take over on monday night. He was waking every 1.5/2 hours for a feed & was gladly taking this from me, the last feed was at 4.15 & then he was a little sick later so one I changed his bedding he went down again at 5.15....next thing he was crying for his bottle at 8.15!!!!!!!!! I asked Nic why she hadn't woken me to do the bottle before that but there wasn't one, he had slept through for 3 hours - a breakthrough.
My mum came over yesterday to see him ( not to see us of course ), I wished she lived nearer & could still drive because I know she will miss him greatly. We went shopping first & when we got home I asked if she wanted to spend some time with her grandson, she obviosuly replied yes so I gave Jack to her & said she could check his nappy!! He'd only done number 1 though so no pooey nappy this time for nanny. I had got some of my photo's printed in town so she could have some decent photo's for her album & when she was here I took a picture of them both & printed it out, she was overjoyed ( & very nearly a little tearful ).
Last night was fantastic, Jack was only waking every 3 hours for a feed & no nappy changes inbetween so we got a reasonable amount of sleep. I hope this pattern continues, we may even start giving him more in the bottles, currently we are giving 3 ounces & he is finishing them all so we have may to do 4 ounces, we're going to ask the midwife today when she comes.
Well that's enough for now I hear the coffee calling...love to you all...VampJack x

Well done Jack...3 hours straight! And 3 oz feeds...how sweet, it's all coming back to me now!
You and Nic seem very well organised and democratic.
Looking forward to the next instalment Chez Vampjack!
love Phoenix
Oh good boy little Vamp. . . :) He will just get better and better at sleeping longer. I bet your Mum was bursting with pride seeing her Grandson.Funny how a new baby brings everyone close too. And now you know how your Mum felt about you when you were born.I cant wait to be a Grandma one day!
He has graduated to good eater very quickly. 3 ounces and sleeping 3 hours is wonderful! Good boy! You and Nic are doing great. I'm so happy your Mom got to see him. Of course there were tears. My 4th grandbaby is due between now and March 19th. I'll be crying like it was my first. Mom's are like that when our kids become parents even for the fourth time.
Hugs, Kathy
It will all be worth it in the end. Your new baby is absolutely gorgeous. x x x kirsty x x x
Congrats on the birth of your son, Jack. A whole new life for you, now. Go get 'em.
