Charly and Starfish - hope your little ones are ok after their falls, what a nightmare for you! Debbie - glad to hear things are better for you and Aiden now you are FF. Everyone else - thanks for sharing your good/bad mummy moments, keep them coming!
We are going well, we've slept from say 10.30 to 6ish for a few nights now, so perhaps this is the start of sleeping through. Angus seems to want to feed less times per day now and is quicker too, and definitely growing, particularly in length. Some of those 000 suits are too short now! What a great excuse to go shopping yesterday........
I'm excited to say I finally go to go skiing this season for the first time since Angus was born!!!! Probably not such a big deal for most people, but as I can be skiing in 40 mins from my home and see the snow from my lounge every day, it's huge for me. Didn't last long as I was easily tired but I hadn't forgotten how to do it. My lovely husband looked after our son while I was out on the slopes and graciously sacrificed the opportunity to ski so that I could. What a top bloke!!!
I think we're starting to get the hang of Angus' sleep patterns. He tends to start getting grizzly in the afternoon and that's when he needs a little assistance to get to sleep, especially late arvo and early evening. When we can tell he needs to sleep (jerky arms, rubs eyes, looks tired), our current solution is to wrap him up tight, and pop him in the bassinet in his room with the radio on and light off. He usually cries (or what my husband calls 'sleep screams') for 5 mins or so and then goes off to sleep. But those 5 mins are terrible for me to hear, I just want to cuddle him. But if I do, then he doesn't go to sleep so I'm just making him even more tired and grumpy and not helping.
When I feel like a bad mummy: When Angus is 'sleep screaming' and i can't go in to comfort him as it just makes things worse. Makes me cry!
When I feel like a good mummy: When Angus smiles and laughs at me when I'm singing.
