Hi everyone, i have been reading all your posts but slack as usual at posting!
DS2 had his shots the other day, poor little thing, they made him quite drowsy for the following two days, which was not all bad! He has put on 1.6 kg in the last two weeks and now weighs 5.7 kgs. He was only a small baby at birth so I'm happy with the rate he's putting on weight, at least I know he's feeding ok. i've fully recovered from my bout of mastitis, thank goodness, but do get a bit anxious if my boob hurts slightly, that it will come back!
Misty- I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL.On a positive note, Way To Go with your weight loss, i sure need need to get off my butt and do some excercise thats for sure, especially as beach season approaches and i have to put on a bathing suit...Eeeew!
Willow- Sorry to hear about your DS2 ultrasound results, at least the paed says there is nothing to worry.i know its hard not to worry though when there something wrong with your child .Sounds like a brilliant baby though, settling and sleeping well!!
Saffi- I too have a baby that does not sleep during the day!! The upside is he does sleep well at night! I'll put him down between 8 -9.30 of an evening and will usually sleep for 7 hours straight. Have a quick feed and sleep for another 4 hours give or take. I can't complain too much. At least he is not too upset about being awake during the day, usually only around dinner time of course he starts to hark up. I'm lucky if he has 2 hours sleep (catnaps mostly) throughout the day!
Ellee- House in order??, I don't think so. It's a good day when I've managed to do 1 load of washing, put dinner on the table and bath my older son. We all know how much time looking after a new baby takes up. It sounds like you are doing a great job and your DH needs to be alot more realistic in his expectations. I wouldn't be worrying about whether your house is immaculate, or beating yourself up for not having prepared dinner! Right now, just concentrate on caring for yor baby, but just as importantly , make sure you get some time for YOU, even if it's only half an hour a day.It makes a world of difference to your overall emotional wellbeing. When your DH has time off work, I'd be making sure he is helping you to achieve this. My DH was abit like yours, because he works long hours, he didn't see how hard it could be for me to accomplish something as simple as doing the vaccuming.It's not like we're just kicking back watching soap operas all day long and painting our nails! My DH has been alot more helpful since the arrival of DS2.He certainly knows better now than to ask a sleep starved woman "what have I been doing all day"?
