Well girls, I have just discovered that DD likes to sleep so much more if she is on her side. I know you arent supposed to because of SIDS risk but she has such strong neck muscles and I think I am only going to let her sleep like this during the day when I can monitor more what is going on. Still finding it difficult to accept that I am using a dummy as well to settle her, I dont want to end up relying on it and like you said Heaven in my other thread, DP's family are anti-dummies. I spoke to my mum about it and she said thaqt we used them up until about 12months old and then she just cuts the ends of them so it wasnt the same to suck anymore and we lost interest in it.
I was so angry and sad with DP last night. He had lots of jobs to do on his one day off for the week but had promised me some family time....wellI call him as he had been gone for ages and I was loosing it at home and he was at a mates watching the formula one!!! GRRRRRR! I was so upset. He tried to make it up to me this morning and said that he would mind DD so I could go and have some time out of the house by myslef if I wanted (which I took advantage of), he still knows how upset I am about it.
Anyway some personals as I have been so slack lately
Nai- for DD2 rolling over!!! I cant believe how clever she is! Is that young to be doing tha. How is DD1 going? IS she all over her bug that she had? Heaven- How lovely that you are going to have a long weekend away together as a little family of three! How gorgeous. One thin I noticed about going out is how much longer it takes to get organised! I knew it would take longer but I have only ever been used to just getting myslef organised. Its amazing how much a little person needs and requires to get organised and out the door. It will be great for you to have DH there to help and build your confidence. OP- sounds like Isabel likes being a social butterfly! The sleep thing is so hard to get sorted. I have done so many things that I thought I would never do. I feel rather niave (sp?) but I guess it is one of those jobs that is learn as you go. I am going to get that book "The contended baby" (or something like that). Apparently it has good sleep routines and works quite well. Have onl heard good stories about it. Tarkine- Good to hear you are doing better. I find if I need to take the pram to the shops I am better off walking (lucky I am not that far). I find it a bit of a nightmare getting organised with getting the pram set up (my pram is so BIG) and then DD sorted and then the return trip back to the car. I guess with practise I will get better. I like your definitions of a good and a great day! I can relate!! Laura- Great that we are friends on facebook now I hope that Nath does something lovely for your birthday tomorrow. Anyone else who wants to be my friend on facebook can send me their details or i"ll send you mine via PM. It is nice having somewhere else to chat in the event that BB's server is down. Shell- How did Em go with her weight gain today? Hope the appointment went well. I need to make an appointemtn for this week. Kaz- dorry you had a teary day yesterday, Sounds like there were a few of us. I hope the leftie nipple improves. I hate feeding that side as well. Hopefully the expressing will help it heal up properly. I hope the thrush goes away for both of you as well.
