Well, it has been a busy few days here. Eli has had pumpkin and sweet potato and loves them. We got him a walker and he loves all the toys on it and doesn't move around a whole lot yet. He is teething BIG time - I think he will get his second bottom tooth very soon. He is still waking every 3 hours or so . But exciting news he said 'mumma'. YAY! I don't know if he'll say it again today but I loved it. Also, we are going to our first swimming lesson on Friday. Even greater news we are going with issy02 and Lochie ! They will be so adorable!
Saffi - yep, mixed the RC with BM and then with sweet pot/pumpkin. Sounds like she has the right idea with the risotto. Eli is only on one solid meal a day ATM.
CheezelMonster - Awww love your avvy! Is it new or am I slow? You feel bad for them when they get so frustrated hey? But it is so cute at the same time :Yay for swimming and great going on the sleep front! Can he please teach my son how to do that too?
Issy - I had avo + ban on toast cause it sounded so nice! It was lovely, my dad also wants to try it
I am sorry I haven't been in here for AGES. I have been having a really rough time lately. I went to my GP a few weeks ago and told him I thought I might have PND. We talked about it a bit and he said I was just taking a bit longer to adjust to motherhood. I left feeling quite dejected and felt silly... maybe I was just taking longer to adjust to this new role...
Things were getting worse and I started seeing a kinesiologist for stress management. It has been good then over the weekend just gone it has all gone to pot... I feel really down and just not able to cope. DP and I have had massive arguements... I am going to see another GP today at 2.45pm to talk because something is not right.
DP and I almost split up this weekend gone... we may still... things are all up in the air.
I have been reading just not able to post.
DD is 6mths old tomorrow - eek! We will be starting solids then but I have no idea if DD is ready... she still has a strong tounge thrust but I will try it and if she doesn't take to it then... we shall try again. I am going to do Baby Led Solids (BLS)... just need to get my head around it LOL
Hope you are all well and your gorgeous bubbas too xox
oh tk
I am so sorry you have had such a hard time of it. I think you are really sensible for going to see another dr, follow your instincts. If you feel someting is not right then you are probably right. It really is a time of change isn't it when you have a new baby. DH and I have had to adjust a lot too. Acutally DH is pretty much the same, he is very consistant, but I know I have changed. I think everyone's relationship changes somehow. I really hope you are okay, hun. Just try to take things slowly and not make any big decisions until you feel a bit more like yourself again.
Here if you need anything....

tk - hun, I'm so sorry you are having a rough time. It IS a big adjustment having your first bub, I felt it terribly with DD1. We had feeding troubles, she cried a LOT and I was also having heaps of trouble adjusting to being a mum after working full time for 13 years. DH thinks I had borderline PND, but I don't know. But anyway, this is about you not me! What I'm trying to say is that if you think you have PND, trust your instincts and seek further help - good on you for going to see another GP. Don't let some silly dr make you feel like you are a naive new mum - you know yourself best! And it is a tough gig being a mum, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I hope you are alright and take care of yourself OK? And happy 6 months for tomorrow
Big hugs TK . I'm so glad you are going to find another GP. As the others have said, motherhood is a massive adjustment and it can be so overwhelming. Throw sleep deprivation and hormones into the mix and it's definitely not a good combination. When I had DS1, DH & I had a lot of arguments, I think parenthood was a bit of a rude shock for DH too. We ended up getting counselling and it was the best thing we could have done. We sorted through our issues and learned ways of dealing better with each other. I'm sorry you are going through such a rough time, I hope you can get the help you need .
Just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello, I haven't caught up on today's posts yet. It's 1030pm and I've just finished 95% of the packing of the car, we're leaving no later than 5am to start our 2728km journey to see my sister. Added an extra 600km to our trip because I was lucky enough to get Miss Z into a Osteopath that specialises in Children & Babies, and also Cranial Osteopathy She has been recommended to us and not usually able to get into her without quite a lot of notice. Will be great to get her plagiocephaly and reflux looked at. We're away for 9 days and I'm not sure that I'll get to check in until I get home.
Looking forward to catching up with everything. Hope all is well, your bubba's are spoiling you with laughter and love.
