well, I am here still fluey ( boo) but getting better, my DH has not been to work for 3 days and most likely not going tonight either. Sammy has now got her first real cold but she's been pretty good, the wheezing scares the crap out of me though. Our 1st Family flu!! LOL
I tried pear on Wednesday for Sam and it looked like she had a mild reaction but I think it was weepy eye from her cold, I tried banana yesterday and definatly did not get any reaction, soo WOOHOO< one fruit she can have..although she is not a big fan yet. She did seem to enjoy it more this am. I will try pear again in a couple days once her eye has completely stopped weeping. At least she LOVES her sweet potatoes and they are full of goodness.
Sterla: I looked into MCN's whilst pregnant and we were definatly gonna go cloth but in the nd, we only live in a unit and just don't have the washing capacities to go cloth. My FIL bought us 60 terry cloth ( because we said we wanted to go cloth but he never asks anything, he just goes out and buys stuff without asking what I want, drive me nust actually) So I am using them as spew cloth at the mo, maybe for #2, but we just don't have the money to spend on MSN at the mo with the house being built and all. Glad to see Oliver has started sleeping soundly again, Sammy did the same, be thankful it only lasted a week and not 5 like Sammy! LOL She has started wakig at 1:30 am and 4:30am again but I thik its because of the cold and she is a bit restless. Glad your housearming went well too
Peach: Hang in there girl, it will pass eventually. I know all too well the sleep depravation especially when you got used to sleeping a semi decent night. Do you feed her every time she wakes? We resorted to giving her a sippy cup with cooled boiled water at the 12:30 wake up, she whinged and what not for the first couple nights but then her body basically remembers and just goes...it's not worth waking if she is not going to feed me" as I said it does take a few nights and there is a bit of screaming involved but it did work for us. Hope Peach can rejoin us soon and that Zombie Peach can go ahve a good rest! LOL
PJ: You poor thing, I PRAY this cream works for Summer, have you got it yet? As for your sister, she means well and probably forgot what its like to be a 1st time mum. Maybe remind her of that next time and tell her that its hard enough to deal with it all and that it would be nice if she supported you as opposed to telling you what to do. She may not even realise she is doing it. On the other hand, you will find that as far as kids are concerned, everyone is certain they are an expert and that their way is the highway. My philosophy is to listen and take whatever bits I choose to and ignore the rest. The people handing out the advice just don't need to know that ;-)
Blip: Well you have been a busy bee haven't you? baking madness and everything. Hope your DH's work is not as stressful and that it gets sorted out soon. As for "bum" aka Daz, it is too funny that he spewed on cue, LOL it can be his party trick. Did you end up trying solids for his reflux in the end? Oh an no, no P's for me yet....since we got the new 4WD, I've been a bit scared to drive it but we are gonna get back onto lessons asap, I just dont know where the time goes, it seems weeks are flying by.
Antheia: Truly hope you are coping well without DH. Sending you lots of hugs!
Dh and I are going down to Melbourne early August for a mini holiday, can't wait to get Sammy onto the plane, should be fun! We have booked ourself in a "presidential spa suite" at this cute boutique hotel for $150 a night!!! YAY to travelling in winter eh? Also I forgot to mention that Sammy now has her 2 bottom teeth and I am expecting the other top 2 very soon, she's been drooling llike a maniac! She also bit me on one of the last BF..which has come to end for me about a week ago. When I got the flu, I really needed drugs to function and it basically stopped it for me. DH is still a bit disappointed that I didn't go to 6 months but seriously, considering how much milk I was making, I am suprised i lasted this long. It's been great DH has been helping me out with night feeds too which has been rather nice. I loved the experience of BF but am glad it's over as I think neither Sam or me were enjoying it in the end.
okey dokey, off for a nice cuppa while DH and Sam are both asleep.
I didn't post earlier cause I didn't get any notifications of new posts..... arrghhh, I thought you girls were being quiet too!! Regardless, I don't think I would have had the energy, its been a real bad flu, knocks your socks off kind!
Ciao for now
