Good morning girls!

Thanks to all of you for your replies re my sister in law’s STUPID comment, you really did make me feel better!

I managed to express 90ml yesterday morning but Jake still wouldn’t have a bar of the bottle even with mummy’s milk in it. I should of tried him with the cup I bought instead of the bottle, maybe will try that tomorrow. Other than that I guess it’s just keep on persevering!!

Kts – I think it’s completely normal to start thinking that you might want more children. At the moment Jake’s enough for me but that’s not to say that I won’t change my mind in a year or 2!! On the baby weight thing, you girls are gonna hate me but I was back to pre-pregnancy weight within 6 weeks. I really put it down to breastfeeding and walking 3 times a week for around half an hour. I am really lucky and don’t take it for granted at all!

Morgan – Don’t for one second think you’re a bad mum!! You’re doing the best you can. It is tough sometimes, but maybe instead of getting tough or yelling when he’s not happy, if you feel yourself getting tense maybe just put him down, walk away for a minute or two and then try again when you are calmer. Babies seem to pick up on your mood, so if you’re not happy then chances are he won’t be either.

Lori – I hear ya on the teething thing! I think Jake’s just about to cut a tooth as well, he’s been so irritable the last few days and just wants to be carried around. His poo was a bit green this morning, which my sister in law (the other nice one!) tells me is a sign of teething as well. Oh well, just gotta ride through it I guess!

Michelle – Hi! Sorry to hear you’re feeling a bit down this week, I can relate to that although I haven’t had pnd. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Aussienic – glad to hear that Olivia’s doing well but hope that ickey nose doesn’t turn into anything more!

Kitten – glad to hear you had a good weekend, congrats on winning the stroller too, how lucky for you!!

Trish – thanks for your support! Hope that Abbey is feeling better soon, if I were you I’d ask for another xray, if only for your piece of mind if nothing else!

Well, my little man will be waking up soon so better do a little housework before he does!

Talk to you all soon
