Megiemoppit- i hear you about being short with older kids- i have been yelling at my ferals for days now- poor thing- but seriously THEY ARE NOT LISTENING TO ME!!!!!!!
Ok i feel better now! I just keep reminding myself that my patience is thin due to lack of sleep- i really need to pick my battles rather than just jumping on them everytime they are out of line. I guess i am so worried about things getting out of control, that i am overcompensating by putting out spotfires as soon as they start- if that makes sense! I really wish there was some magic advice i could give you to get bubs to sleep better. Levi tends not to sleep for more than an hour during the day, but goes at least 3 hourly overnite. We got an electric swing that i can put him in, and he has fallen asleep in that for a bit- might be worth thinking about. We also have a bouncer for him as well, he sits in it, but wont sleep in it! I find that the place that he sleeps the longests during the day is the pram- so maybe try that as well. Pack up bubs in the pram and go to greensborough shopping centre and just grab a cuppa!!! If you want I can meet you there - i am not far away!! Just dont let those wall close in around you!!!
Also if bubs is gassy, what about some telephone book under the cot so that it is on an angle- might help is she is not laying flat! Also she might be happy in a sling ?? I have a bubba sling and Levi falls asleep in 2 secs flat in it and i can still move around and at least do some things!
OP- WHOOT on Isabel's weight gain- that is awesome. I must have crossed paths with you today again! I was there as well. Hey if you are bored yell out and I can meet you round Monty for a cuppa- hanging to try Cherry Red's special- bacon and egg roll and a cuppa!! Say Hi to the other girls as well for me!
Your body will be back to normal soon hon- just starting to feel back to normal about2 weeks ago- so you should start to feel better soon. I was on Benefibre up until then as well- but it does go back to normal- this week back to old patterns again! LOL. I got the bum pains as well- like a sharp pain - its the bowel going back to its proper size slowly!!
AJP- that was an awesome birth story- well done hon!! well written as well.
Kazz- Hey there- welcome back!! We have all missed you! So glad that everything is going OK with you! You always said you would go last and you did! Hey it would be interesting to go over our predictions for things again and see how many of them actually occurred!!!
Elli/Ali- lol i am the opposite with germs. Although i dont go near people that know that they are sick, I have half the kids class with their head in Levi's face everyday touching him lol- so hey what can i do!! I figure that if he is gonna get something, he will get it from my older two anyway. The dog sniffs him as well!!! I am more worried about Levi catching Nits from the other kids, than their germs!!! But hey you have to do what you feel comfortable with and what works for you girls!! A way to stop people from Manhandling bubs when they visit is to keep him asleep in the cot and they cant pick them up there!- or otherwise tell them that s/he is due for a big poo!!! Hope you dont mind crap on your clothes!!!!
Nai- great on J weight gain- that is great- bummer about the chord thingy- great that they can do it at the GP's but!!
All going good here- Levi unsettled still - must have been garlic in something that i ate without realising it! But at this present moment in time- which i am going with - ALL MY KIDS ARE ASLEEP!!!!!!! Phew savouring the moment . . . . . .
hence the long post!
