Hope you've all had a lovely Father's day - especially those who are celebrating it for the first time.
Zofia - I'm massively more emotional these days, it's really weird. And a bit more squeamish too for some reason - I used to be able to watch any medical show on TV without batting an eye, but these days my stomach turns really easily. And anything with kids in it just makes me want to bawl, so I tend to not even watch. Am hoping that I'll get over it at some stage.
Rebecca - sounds like Xavier is doing really really well. Hope your trip didn't upset him for the night, but it's nice to make the effort for his Pa.
Bridee - well done on being out for most of the day, that's something that I haven't been able to tackle yet (unless we're visiting family, which is a bit different), Liam just gets too unsettled. And I always have to follow "out" days with days at home, to reset him IYKWIM. And good luck with the paed tomorrow, interested to hear how it goes for Georgie.
Mel - it's great that Jack's improving, and I'm so impressed at your will power with food. I'm a walking disaster - if it's junky I'm just eating it, just haven't been able to find the discipline to stop the rot, although I did make a big pot of vegie soup today, so there might be some hope.
Nicky - how's Lachlan going?? Do you still think it's colic? Liam's been heaps more unsettled too, but I'm hoping that it's just the start of the 6 week issues, and that it will be over in a couple of weeks.
V - woo hoo for the plasma, just don't tell Pat!! He's a bit keen to get one too, but I'm sticking with the lines that we don't need to spend the money on it yet given that we've got a perfectly fine tv at the moment. And it's great to hear that Avaleigh is feeling happier.
Well, that's about it for me - I'm so exhausted at the moment, cos I think I'm looking after Liam's evil twin. Where I've had a pretty easy baby for the first 5 weeks, he's been pretty feral at times over the last week. He's become really fussy at feeding time, will be absolutely starving, but just fights me when I try to get him to latch on. It's amazing how strong he can be - it would be impressive, if it weren't accompanied by piercing shrieks. And he's decided to stop sleeping as much, even though he's really tired, which means that I spend considerably more time holding him, and not getting anything done (not that I was getting much done anyway, but it's been even less). All you girls who are getting more that 3 hours of sleep at a time are really really lucky! And, the most upsetting thing is that he smiles at Pat (not a lot, but he still does), but barely gives me any eye contact at all (at least this is what it feels like), so I'm starting to think he doesn't like me, except for the fact that I'm a food source. And he's smiled at my mum too, so it's not just Pat. Have had a few moments over the last day or so where it's been really hard, cos not sure what I'm doing wrong with him to make him so miserable with me. I'm sure it's just my imagination, but it still makes me feel a bit sad, cos I just want him to be happy & content.
Anyway, that sounds like a massive whinge, it’s probably not as bad as I think it is, & I’m sure it will improve.
And 6 weeks for me tomorrow - which means that finally I can drive again - woo hoo!! The end of being house bound and completely dependent on Pat to take me places.
