Hello ladies and big cuddles to all your beautiful Bubbas. I've been MIA for ages it seems. Life is busy with a little one and have had lots of family commitments.
Caro- I'm so sorry things have turned around the wrong way for you again. Hope things get easier really quickly.
Kellie- Well done for persevering with bf. It will probably be easier now that you are a bit more settled and know little Lily better. Hopethe vaccinations aren't too painful (for either of you!)
Dee- Nice to see you back on and glad you're doing well. Yay on such a great night's sleep, hopefully this will happen again and again and again........!
Kristie- Don't know how you do it with the two! Dylan is gorgeous!
Danni- Congratulations on your nightime routine, sounds delicious. It gives me hope yet.
Krysaliss- I agree. it's wonderful watching all their little milestones. It's hard to believe how much they learn and achieve in such a short space of time.
Iona- Well done on surviving the injections, hope ours goes as well next week.
Gigi- Enjoy your holiday. One word- Jealous. Mum and Dad are paying to fly us down to Tassie to visit family down there but we've decided to wait until spring as we've just escaped the cold in the UK and it won't be much fun showing DH my home town in the cold. I f we wait til spring we can also afford to go for longer and see a bit more too. Can't wait.
Hazel and I- We are great right now. She is a little chubster and is smiling and giggling all over the place, sooo cute. We went for a bit of a rough patch there for a while, knackered, hormonal and DH just not doing anything or respecting what I do all day, everyday. I was really resenting him having a life outside the house and things in general were just bringing me down. I think we are both missing our family and friends and social network in the UK too which didn't help. A couple of big fights followed by some good deep and meaningfuls have put things right now though. DH is being much more hands on and has been taking Hazel out on the weekend mornings to give me a sleep in which is bliss. I've joined a health club with a creche so it's great to get out of the house and do something physical and also meet some other mums. Am looking forward to my Mother's Group starting in August too. Is still a little while away but will all be babies born in April so worth the wait. I am so with you all on the not sleeping through the day. Unless she's in the sling or car or my arms it's a max of half an hour. I would be concerned but the fact that the majority of you guys are experiencing the same thing reassures me taht it's actually pretty normal despite all the books that tell you otherwise! The upside is that Hazel sleeps like a log at night, have even had a few seven hour stints, although this doesn't happen "routinely" yet. Generally though it's three feeds between 7pm-7am, and I'm happy enough with that. She is just such a little treasure though, and is happiest sitting looking over my shoulder watching the world go by or listening to her Mummy sing (badly) anything from nursery rhymes to the Rocky Horror Show soundtrack! We are such lucky ladies to have such love in our lives! Happy thoughts and lots of smiles for you all x x
