Hi guys just a quick one from me (I know, I've not been on for AGES!!!) on DH's computer since I killed my laptop (fell off the stand it sits on - stupid me)
Struggling a bit here as well with the toddler + newborn - its so friggin hard, DS has been especially whingy and whiney - thats his new language, doesn't speak english anymore just whinges and whines all day... I told DH last night that I wanted to trade him in for another child and DH made me feel so crappy about saying that to him - made me feel like the worst mother in the world. I can't help it if i don't particularly "like" my son when he is acting like the biggest turd in the world. So think I am battling PND - and so don't want to go there - so haven't posted because of that. Didn't really have the motivation to type anything because my life SUCKS at the moment.
Anyhoo - on a positive note - I got a new pram today
Mez - we still swaddle here too. Plus I have noticed if I put her on her side to sleep, she goes to sleep much quicker, plus even self settles sometimes - and she doesn't like to go to sleep either at 3am - so we have her in bed with us, and i go to sleep instead.. lol
Kel - I am SOOO sorry that Jesse hasn't been well. You poor thing!!! Huge hugs for you honey, because it is hard enough to do this, without illness being thrown into it. Hopefully the three of you can take a nice nap together.. and I hope its a shortlived gastro thing for Jesse (I think they can last up to 5 days?? So hopefully he is at the end of it)
Hello to everyone else that I missed. Previous posts have just been too long for me to remember what is going on with everyone - so I do apologise!!! Personals are a bit beyond me at the moment, but I hope to be more "with it" soon enough and be back to my normal self.
Going to the Hyatt tonight so better keep getting kids stuff ready for a night out. And DD has just woken up - ooh no - looks like she's going to sleep again. Ahh well better go pick out outfit for myself that doesn't make me look too huge!!!!
Hey Mel, great to see you back, it's not the same without you! Hang in there, you are probably just struggling with the demands of a newborn/ toddler rather than anything more serious. Hopefully A will get over the whingy clingy thing soon and start acting like a big boy. Enjoy your night at the Hyatt - sounds like you need it We missed you!
and for the new pram!
Kel, thinking of you - glad Jesse seems to be getting better and had a sleep.... You've done really well coping with it all. Your MIL sounds like she has been great. It might be good for you to have a night's sleep on saturday if she takes Kiera - you could do with a catch up sleep.
Tan - you too, it must be so hard with a sick toddler and a new baby.
Cute pics Tenny love the pumpkin patch Pink, ayapi, Belle, Zee, missy, tasia and *insert baby brain* anyone else I've forgotten
We took Beth to a friend's house for dinner last night and she was really well behaved... had a bit of a struggle settling her after 11.00 feed, but other than that a good night. Quiet day here, a friend popped over for lunch, I am coming down with a cold so trying to take it pretty easy.
Here are some links to photos of Ava I've finally put up. Only managed 2 before the site wouldn't let me upload any more grrrr. Not sure if I'm linking right tho...
Mel - Welcome back. I hope you're better and the virus you had is all gone.
BIG HUGS! You're not a bad mother. I think you're a fantastic person and mummy.
If anyone says they like their kids when they're being little turds, then they'd be BIG FAT LIARS!
I hope you have a great night and look after yourself.
We're all here for you no matter what!!!
and I'm sure you'll look fantastic in whatever you decide to wear.
Whoohoo for the new pram.!!!
Mez - for another good day. Yipeee!
Pink - She's beautiful. Great pics. Thanks for sharing. Yay a month old!! They grow too fast, aye.
Kell - I'm glad Jesse is better today and you catch up on some sleep on the weekend. <3
Pixie - Hope you feel better soon. Look after yourself.
Lately I've been feeling strange about being a mother to another little someone. It's like I don't believe It or something like that, or it hasn't sunk in yet. It's very weird since I'm this is my second baby , so wtf is going on with me...
That doesn't really make that much sense. My thoughts are all mixed up and I can't think straight half the time. Brain mush. lol.
I hope the weather is good this weekend. Come on sunshinnnnnne.
Have a great weekend and all that jazzz.
Hey Tenny, sorry to hear you're feeling off.... what kind of weird? is it something you can explain? is it just hard to believe you're a mum again? or do you think it is something to do with your birth - you said it was a bit traumatic? Feel free to talk to us babe, or if you need some help, maybe see your GP or a counsellor?
It sounds to me like you're doing great with your two boys
Tenny.. i kinda know what you mean. Its funny. With Jesse as a baby i was so attached to him.. didnt want anyone else feeding him or holding him.. he was my baby. lol. But with Keira, shes still my baby and i love her just as much, but im happy to let someone else do all that iykwim. Its kinda weird.. like im use to Jesse just being around and him being like a big person.. and its weird having baby aswell thats kinda doesnt do much.. but yeh i know how you mean.
Pink.. love the pics!!!!!
Pixie.. thanks hun. Glad everythings going well with you and Beth.
Mel.. oh hun i know how you feel. Youre not a bad mother at all. I wish i could trade Jesse in lately too! I know its not really his fault.. but this sickness on top of his usual terrible 2's and teething has been absolute hell. Im just so sick of it all. Hes now picking up but all i hear all day is whinge too. He'll have a tanty and throw something and then whinge at me to go pick it up and give it back to him! Like um NO! Then whinges more when i dont. Did Aricyn have Gastro a little while back? I remember you did. Yeh Jesse's had it now since Saturday.. so 6 days. But He is teething too so i think that has make the gastro worse and prolonged it all a bit too. But yeh hope we're at the end of it. Oh sweet re the pram! What type? Have fun tonight hun.
Well Jesse's managed to eat 2 potato gems and a few potato chips for dinner! woo!
Keira is doing well. Poor baby has been put on the back burner this last week. But shes going great guns. Slept through again the night before last from 10pm until 6am. Was a night i really needed it too so shes a star. Was back to her 3am wake up again last night though damn it! Looks like we're getting one sleep through a week.. but i aint complaining! Actually it was the night before last we upped her formula amount so im thinking the poor bugger must have been waking up starving!
Mary- I'm glad her sleeping & her days are getting better How r u going?
Kel- Anytime sweety. Poor little Jesse at least he's eating biscuits.
Mel- You are a fantastic mother, don't let anyone tell you ur a worse mother or watever, & whoever they are. You are doing a great job. And I agree with tenny. You would of have left but hope you have a great night & the hyatt Yay for the new pram, wat did u get?
Pixie- Hope u had a great lunch with ur friend. Hope ur cold deosn't get worse sweety, look after urself That's great the beth behaved herself well done.
Pink- She looks adorable
Tenny- Sweety, you know wat I feel like I'm not a mother, to me it hasn't sunk in yet, everyones like wat does it feel to be a mother, I'm like yeah no it hasn't sunk in, but I love being a mum.
I just got back from the dentist..had to have a filling, will have 3 more next monday. I also got a referal for an oral surgeon cause I have to have my 4 wisdom and 4 3rd molars taken out before braces can go on.. OMG 8 teeth!!!! Will have to stay in hospital over night Its also going to cost about 11K all up
Missy- Oh no, will he just close the shop down? maybe he should open it up somewhere else?
Kellxx- Glad Jesse is on the mend for you
Mary- Hun I cant remember how many times I have put myself to sleep crying when Laila was 1st born.. it can be such a stressfull time when they are crying for hrs on end for no reason.
Mel- hun I know how you feel, felt ive been at breaking point a few times with DD just screaming/crying etc and trying to fix her up while DS wants his milk, nappy change etc.
Sorry i know that was a poor effort but my lil man is awake for some boobie so better go!
for the new pram!
