So over having a cold. And my supply has gone down so much, its freaking me out. I'm back on flaxseed oil so here's hoping that my milk comes back in a day or two. Took a pg test today because of absence of AF (Very very paranoid, seems dh and I are super fertile) and got a BFN, thank God. Also 1st wedding anniversary, pretty much a bummer. DH had uni all day, home for half an hour and then to work. I made him a bit of a special dinner to take and wrote him a poem but big whoop. I guess I just thought we should do something special.... Or even some flowers. I'm not usually big on presents and so forth but its our wedding anniversary..
Nettie- can you mix the panadol with formula? might help.
Janine- Soo glad to hear Ci's clearing up and you're having such a good time together. Lila and I play a silly game when she's on her tummy. She puts her face down looking at me and I do the same next to her.... Then I turn away and turn back really quickly saying "Helllooooo Lila" and we both have a good chuckle. Sometimes we get in a giggling loop where neither of us can stop laughing at the other one. Good times.
Nettie - You are a very lucky girl with Liam's self settling. I hope that he is starting to feel a little better now. I had the same problem with Jack and panadol. Have not found a solution yet, so let me know if you find something that works.
mgm - I think you are right - I will be in for some difficult times. The past few nights have been soooooo hard. I just feel so tired and then my emotions get all screwy and I feel so resentful that I seem to be the only person I know with a baby that wakes this much! I know that can't be true and they say that everyone exaggerates how long their baby sleeps. But it I just feel so alone sometimes IYKWIM?
Steph - Sounds like you are having a bit of a hard time at the moment and need a big old hug. Sorry that your anniversary was not as special as you hoped it would be. Your game with Lila sounds so cute. Jack was doing a similar thing with me yesterday. He suddenly saw me while he was lying on his tummy on his daddys lap and started playing peek-a-boo by putting his head down and then bringing it back up to make eye contact with me again. I thought he was so cleaver! He cracks me up! You so should not worry about her not rolling yet either - most babies dont roll until 4-5 months. Still HEAPS of time.
Thanks Leyla, feeling heaps better today. I started taking a honey/garlic/cayenne pepper mixture yesterday out of desperation and what do you know, it has kicked that nasty cold right out of me. And Dh came home from work early, right after Lila went to bed so we got time to ourselves. And my Mei Tai was delivered this morning, I'm so in love...
Liam's rolling all the time now - I put him on his back and without fail he's rolling over... even on the change table or cot!! But then when he gets on his belly, he gets frustrated very quickly so I don't know if he's just getting tired more easily or what... Steph: I wouldn't worry. Liam's the first in my mother's group to roll over and there's babies there nearly 6 months old!
He's also slept the entire night twice now (sorry Leyla & mgm!). Once on Sunday night (but we had him out late on Sat night which was bad....woke up heaps that night) and again last night. Put him in bed at 8pm, and he woke up at 7am... was very good timing as I went in to work this morning for a meeting so we were trialling the morning routine for when I return to work on 15th Sept. Went ok!
Leyla - unfortunately the self settling hasn't continued We tried it again last night and he refused.. Ah well... another time perhaps! Having said that, he's still really easy to settle.
Steph & Leyla - those games sound adorable! DH is better at playing than I am...
Steph - do you think you can mix the panadol with formula?? That would work if I could!
Anyway - only got about 15 mins on here and must catch up on my other threads so will do more personals tomorrow or Fri...
but shoegal - i haven't had af yet and don't expect to for some time, since it took over a year to return after having ds. i think hair falling out may go with breastfeeding? i'm sure i've heard of this happening before.
nettie i have serious sleep envy!!
and on that note... leyla if it helps, you're definitely not the only one with a frequently-waking baby. i'm so sick of my own sleep problems i won't go into them again but i know how it feels...
