I think I am jinxed from ever posting in here, but here goes again today (been trying since weekend)
Lulu can realate to the concealer!! Mitchell does not like going to bed does he?
LOL I think we definatily win the most wake ups in a night (or is that lose? ) Felix has nights where he wakes up every hour or 2 for a feed, thank god we co-sleep or else I'd be going mad! I think he thinks my breasts are an all night milk bar! He sleeps well through the day 2 lots of around 1.5 hours and I actually enjoy that because I get to have time without walking him around the house!!

Ambah I feel excatly like you the few occasions I have been out without felix, especially at the supermarket, I realise he has become my identity and I feel naked without him! I wonder if people look at me and realise that I'm a mother, it's really a weird feeling, I had one night (of mad cleaning our old house till midnight) where I actually enjoyed working really hard and being in my own world without any distractions or potential distarctions..I felt so free, but I got home and Felix and DP were sitting up on the chair asleep together and Felix had spilled his EBM, it made me feel sad that I'd left him..

Well Felix is very determined to walk now, he cruises the walls now like a little gecko, and stands at the edge of the couch with one hand flapping at me to take him walking around the house, he can actually guide me where he wants to go, it's really funny, but exhausting! Just pinning him down to eat is hard, but he seems to have found a taste for NICE biscuits and I use them as dessert (full of sugar but high calorie!)
I cooked a roast lamd and he LOVED the bone, cried when he dropped it, now he's NEVER done that before with food, I think because it was part toy part food..

The expressing EBM isn't going that great, I have trouble getting him to drink extra still, I just wonder if formula would be any point anyhow because he may not even drink it! I talked to an ABA councillor and she said the nasal gastric tube may be alot more peace of mind for everyone and it's unlikely that at this age when breastfeeding is so established that he'd give up the boob for bottle unless I wanted it to happen..which I don't.
I get a bit angry sometimes because this weight thing/illness is interfering with our way of doing things, I have spent so much time feeling guilty for not wanting to suppliment him and now I just feel angry that we can't just do what is natural and let him eat what he wants to and feed when he likes like most babies get to..not fair that he needs more food than most babies.. okay stepping down from my:soapbox: now..

Kelly your life is SO busy, with working and all those things to do, when do you get time to yourself??

Christy that is so cute about your DH wanting to do everything with matilda because it was his last day with her alone, how absolutely gorgeous! It is such great news that he is working again!

Ambah if you are going to montville for your mini break does that mean no Tamborine??

Clare hope you have a good break away and Shayla's teeth finally come through!
