Hey girls. ANother quick one from me as I am tired. Very tired. We all have a cold atm which is sucking hard core. India has been in hospital since Yesterday morning. Of course any sickness we get, she gets as bad asthma. Thankfully today she can get a sentence out without stopping to take breaths. Poor darling. She is such a star down at the hospital. She has been there 3 times now and everyone knows and loves her. She chats away to everyone. She copies them and mimics their different accents and has them in hysterics. Such a crowd pleaser. I can never shut her up either. She could barely breathe but she was still doing her best to sing the Tigger Song on our way to the hospital. All you could hear in the emergency centre of the hospital is her gasping and singing and chatting to everyone. Plus demanding medicine and ventolin. Hehe. I am sure if she could be quiet whilst having an asthma attack, she would be probably be a lot better. But she would rather suffocate then be quiet. Just like her mother lol.
Seraya is doing well with the cold TG. Only a slight greenish yellow mucousy sneeze here and there, and the odd cough. No whinging or complaining yet. With all the dramas with India and me being crook as well, it is the last thing we need, for her to be a crying little delirium. I spent last night in hospital with India while MIL and DIL had Seraya. DH was at home finishing off his last bit of week before his week off. Of course the one week off he plans in the year, is interuppted by hospital visits and sickness. POOO. But it was so nice to have Seraya back with me this morning. I was greeted with kicking little legs and a snotty face. Which I really hate. I can't stand my kids having snotty faces. Makes them look like they live out in the outback with dero parents and no idea what tissues or water is for. I took much joy in cleaning her little face up and changing her out of milk stained clothes (is it so hard to put a bib on a baby??) and putting some warmer clothes on her, BFing her and she went straight to sleep. It was almost as if she was saying "No one does it like mummy." I know that sounds trite, but it so true, no one looks after your kids like you. And I really hate it when I let DH or his parents babysit and she or India comes back in soaked clothes, or a soaked nappy etc. I feel like they need to be sent to a parenting class or two. Isn't it common sense to change baby when they are wet or dirty?? Anyways...
:hugs: Mel You really have had a rotten start. You are doing so well. You never really complain and you just coast along like a trooper. You are an inspiration for me to stop whinging about the littlest annoyences! Even though I just whinged my a$$ off in the last paragraph lol. SO glad you have found the cause of all the unhappiness!! Hopefully it will get sorted for you and James ASAP! for you!
Andie Seraya's habits change all the time, but she always has a block of sleep that lasts 10-12 hours. It isn't usually until after 1am that she goes down and stays asleep that long. She wakes about lunch time(when India comes trumping down-who also gets up at lunch time) and has a feed then goes back to sleep for another 3 hours. She is then awake for pretty much the whole arvo, happy in her swing or on her play mat, or playing with India and I for a while, then around dinner time she goes back to sleep for a few hours. Wakes about 11pmish and is awake for an hour or two (wants attention- evil little night owl lol) and then goes through the cycle again. So far both girls are sleep a holics, which suits me to a TEE since DH and I are both night owls and love our sleep.
Bec with BFing. GOod on you!! Don't be envious of me. I am lucky to be naturally blessed with a lot of milk etc but you are amazing to put in so much effort. You should be so proud of yourself that you are doing so much to get your supply in again, with 2 other little ones in tow! I couldn't do it!!
AM loving the pics ladies. Our babies are gorgeous!! I gtg because Seraya is awake and smaking her lips. Its party time for her now.
Well hope anyone I missed is doing well. Booby dust and Sleepy sand sprinkles to you all!! xxx
