Sal - I am still thinking about the work thing and if I can get in to a good carer then I am ok with it maybe once or twice a week for short periods...but still havent decided. I am not sure where I am headed there yet. SAHM's really need to get paid better money if you ask me! I am sick of always butting heads with DH about money. It's really the only thing we fight about. And we don't really fight we just get upset with each other. In my next life I am going to ask to be rich
Di - Kobi drinks that diluted no sugar juice that you were talking about. She also won't drink water and will drink that in small amounts. She didnt like it at first but is getting used to it now. I like your trick of watering it down further and getting him slowly into the water. I think I am going to try that.
Still not doing well re solids but I have spoken to a midwife about it and I am feeling ok. I know it takes time and that she may mess rund for a while yet. It's just a case of introducing her to different tastes and waiting for her to take to it.
Well after my post this morning I did indeed have a very bad day. I ended up on the phone to DH crying then Mum crying then the childbirth unit where I had Kobi. I got some advice and then made an appointment to see a nurse/middy at my doctors office. In the meantime with all of this crying and such I got a return call from the sleep clinic and am booked in for an overnight stay next Thursday night. So thankfully I am getting some help there. Pity it can't be sooner but I was lucky to get that.
My mum is coming to stay with us for a few nights and is going to help me at night with Kobi so I can at least get some sleep. DH has also said if I need him, he will take some time off work.
The midwife basically said to me that I need sleep and I need to have at least one night where Kobi is looked after by someone else and I actually sleep through.
So we will see how it all goes. I am going to attempt cc tonight. Tyra is in my bed so I have to be strong tonight.
I had a bad day today (Kobi wouldnt sleep today either..managed an hour and a half in total) but I reckon things will be better tomorrow.
I so beleive what others were saying in here about babies just being extensions of you and feeling and acting out everything we do and go through. I know that when I have a bad day she does. I will have to consciously aim for a good day tomorrow.
On a good note the course was great last night. I felt great and it was a really good night. It's going to be quite spiritual based (not as in religion but as in holistic and looking within) so that I am really looking forward to. We did a lovely meditation and I might even do that tonight before going to sleep.
Ok going to finish my cup of tea and then go to bed.
