Hi lovelies!
Haroula, Ali and Anna - I get the same thing with Euan from time to time. He hasn't chucked for ages now, so I've been putting it down to wind (he is a verrrrrrry gassy baby). He doesn't necessarily cry when he does all of these things though. I've actually been wondering whether his really bad days have actually been overtiredness rather than the wind pains that I've been thinking it is, because he never sleeps much on his really stroppy days. But then, I also have trouble burping him at times, and these are the days that he tends to be the grumpiest, so I think it could be wind. Hard to know sometimes... I'll be interested to hear what you find out Ali.
Louise - sorry to hear about your dad - I'm glad he is OK now. Hope the ambulance officers treated him well (my dad is an ambo!!). You have me worried though - Euan hasn't poo'd since Tuesday. It's been nice just having wet nappies for a change, but I am afraid, so very, very afraid of what will eventually come out. I keep expecting to hear this loud exploding sound and find baby poo all over my walls. Eeep.
Lauren - YAY on mum's group. It's great that you kept in contact with your antenatal class too - I had a bunch of boring people in my classes, not one person was interested in keeping in contact. I think they thought my DP and I were a bit weird though. Pffft. Apparently there is a 'parent's seminar' thing at the CHC on Mondays which I assume is in lieu of an proper mum's group - I'm a bit peeved because I was told by the hospital that the CHC would organise a mum's group for the babies born in a certain month - but no, this doesn't happen. I'm only annoyed because the parent's seminar thing started two weeks ago and the MCHN didn't bother to tell me, even though I've been going weekly to get him weighed. So hopefully I might meet a few people there but I was really looking forward to a mum's group.
Nic - great poo story! I shouldn't laugh, but I am!! I'm glad you had a good night's sleep.
Trish - WTG Tehya!!! You do have a little Olympian in the making - what a star! Good one too on the swing special!
Anyone I missed - HI!!
Well, we've had a good day today. Euan went down at 11:30 last night, and slept till 7:00. Noice. I was starting to despair that after getting us used to these nice long night sleeps he was going to continue behaving like a normal baby and only sleeping for a few hours at a time. He then went back to sleep when I got to the shopping centre after dropping his dad off at work at 8:30, and slept through two different stops being put in and out of the car seat and the sling, finally waking 15 minutes after I had got home at 11:00 and made lunch for myself. Had a little feed, a bit of a play and a nappy change, then a bit more of a feed, then back to sleep at 1:00. WTF!!! It's now quarter to 3:00 and he's still asleep. I even got an hour's sleep. Wooo Hoo!!!
Just woke and is now happily chomping away at a boob, so it's back to one handed typing for me. Now would be a really good time to evolve an extra set of arms...
I think the little bugger is making up for all of that sleep that he hasn't got over the last couple of days. A definite pattern is emerging here - insomnia baby for a couple of days, then one day of nice but active baby, then sleepy baby. It's a shame, because it's my DP's days off tomorrow and Saturday, and Euan will probably cycle back to insomnia baby somewhere in those two days.
I finally got a mobile for his cot - it's the TinyLove Symphony in Motion one, and some other cot toys. I'm sure he gets so bored in there, I get this mental picture of a prisoner rattling his cup against the bars of his jail cell whilst a harmonica plays mournfully in the background...
Anyway, monster has fed and gone back to sleep again - methinks this is good opportunity to get cute photos of him sleeping on his fluffy rug whilst he is in such a cooperative mood.
TTFN...
