Hi all, I'm feeling much more civil this morning, even though I am running on a sleep deficit. My munchkin definitely has a cold again - he was so snuffly this morning
I'm on the more cheerful side of the middle-of-the-night melodramatics - how come everything is so much more amplified at night? I mean, I still could have clocked DP, but the remarks for him that I had running through my head were savage - glad that I literally couldn't voice them or there would have been a mighty clash!
I have a very limpy voice back - I sneezed and loosened up some gunk that was obviously lovingly wrapped around my larynx and it came out with a blow of the nose...and I could sqeak out some words! Still can't talk properly, and being a singer I'm too scared of doing damage so I'll save my voice and whisper again today. Yay for the dislodging of gunky stuff!! My cough has diminished since then, too!
Dee - that paed appt couldn't come quick enough, huh? I know the feeling - I had it when I was strung out to get Oscar's tongue-tie snipped once and for all! I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that Lachlan's main problem is not your breastmilk. It sounds like (warning: armchair opinion imminent!) he needs to be held close to you (hug a bub style). Also, have you tried chest-sleeping? I know this idea horrifies many people, especially fans of separate sleeping, but if it is all that will settle a baby, why put you and the baby through the angst of doing the opposite of what the baby wants? Doesn't sound like it will interfere too much with your relationship with DF anyway (and he has fabulously failed to come up with any solutions himself, hasn't he?), so why not take a leap of faith? JMO though. You are in my real life thoughts, believe me, Dee This kid's gonna bring you so much joy to make up for this time! I am sure a hug a bub would help you so much.
Bath - glad I could provide some entertainment with my misery Maybe Ive been reading too much Marian Keyes, or maybe I like her so much cos her writing resonates with my thought patterns - take an unpleasant thing and make it ridiculous to save me from spinning into the path of negativity and unpleasantness.
gonna see if oscar will sleep while i shower with my MooGoo!!!!
