Well, yesterday Jazz was more tired and quiet than usual. I think it was to do with daycare and being in a strange place and having all the kids doating on her. She had so much attention and I think it wore the poor mite out. She slept from 8:30pm until 4:15am and then slept until 6 when I put a dummy in her mouth and she slept until 7:30 when we got up for the day. I think maybe the not feeding thing is because she was in a strange house with people she doesn't know. It'll probably take her a couple of weeks to get used to her new routine of daycare. Off again tomorrow. She'll be in care from 9-5. I have to get the bottles ready before I go to bed. She has 2 EBM bottles from yesterday. I gave her a BF first thing this morning, then a FF for her next feed, then a BF at lunchtime before her nap. When I get her up she'll have another BF coz I'm getting full, then it'll be a FF at dinner time, then BF before bed tonight.
I told a friend of mine that last night I dreamed her husband told me she was 6 weeks pregnant. She said that 3 weeks ago she wasn't and they haven't been trying, but ya never know. Now she's kind of excited and wants to go buy a pregnancy test. I'm excited as well coz every time I dream someone is pregnant, within a few weeks or a couple of months they end up pregnant.
What a day!!! What started as a trip to meet with my mothers group ended up with taking my mum to hospital instead..... She had her varicous veins done on Monday and last night and this morning she was coughing up blood and was having problems with her breathing. So, I have been at the hospital all day trying to wait and find out what was wrong, and they said the respiratory doctor will see her tonight, but didn't say why.... so hopefully all ok. Then as I got in my car, I twisted to get something out of my bag and pulled something in the left side of my back I think I have twisted a nerve or something - it absolutely kills. Got my wheat bag on my back and trying not to get up. DJ will probably sleep until 5:30 so hopefully Doni will get home then so he can pick him up for me because bending down kills
Skye - on the formula feeding, I am finding DJ is still used to his every 3 hour feeds but I am trying to spread them out because some of his feeds he will only take 60ml so I know from that he isn't hungry enough and it could have waited. So trying my best to spread out the feeds. And great new ticker - such a cute pic
Prama - I really feel for you with Steve going back home. Not only is it hard for you but him as well. It would be so hard for him not being with you and Poopy. Just look forward to the time you do see Steve and how special it will be
Trina - hope Summer is much better for you. DJ just wanted to be picked up all of the time today. Everytime I put him down he wanted to be picked up.
SJ - it is funny how their sounds change when they want something, i have noticed that as well....
Danni - hope your new feeding regime goes well. I found the formula feed before bed got DJ a longer sleep when I was starting to wean him off breastfeeding.
well girls, I am going to finish watching B&B before hubby gets home.
shell - you poor thing, and your mum too. so sorry..
so glad that doni is in town.. maybe you should go see a doctor or physio? good thing abt FF is that you can take pain killers now.
danni - hope jazz settles soon, im sure she will be ok. it's hard when your baby is away from you in a strange place isnt it...
trina - sorry dh is away again.. 3 weeks is a long time. does he travel all the time?
can your mum come and help?
sj - poopy is changing his ways now, i think he's starting to be throw tanties when he's grumpy. he puts his heels on the floor and lifts his hips and cries now.. gawd im not ready for tantrums!
thanks for all your kind thots, it's hard w/o steve and im finding it hard here. at home we ahve everything established, feedign changing etc. here, i have to come upstairs for each bf, as my dad is retired and at home and i cant feed in front of him.. mum, im ok. and it hurts my knees carrying poopy up and down. and i have to come down to make his bottle. so its taking a long time. plus his bath is upstairs, so have do that too.
i hate thinking this but i want to go back home, cos i have my own space and routine and all. it amkes me so guilty for thinking this esp. since this was my home and im w my parents.. i have 7.5weeks to go. it's a long time.
i went to the gym today and the PT said i have to loose 11kgs. i have 8 to go to my pre-preg but need to lose 3 more.. she said it's best to lose 2kgs amth. i dunno if i can do it. im tired of constantly not being able to fit my old clothes and wobbly belly and looking big. ive never been this big before and it makes it hard when i think i have to go thru all this again when we have another baby.
sorry for not doing more freqwuent personals. pc is upstairs in my brother's room and is hard coming up and down. i need to leave poopy in my bedroom and keep checking on him or downstairs with my parents. in syd, i had the laptop in the lounge room coffee table and it was easy.
anyway, have to go check on poopy again, he's due for a bath soon.
Thanks Skye and Prama. My back is so sore, just relieved Doni is at home, makes it easier so he can pick up DJ for me. And yeah Prama bonus about FF means I can have painkillers.....
Prama - that does make it hard having to go upstairs to feed Poopy I know what you mean about the preggy belly and having to go through it again for another baby etc.... It takes so long to get your body back. I ended up eating sandwiches (white bread) at lunch because there wasn't an array of food to choose from. I can't eat white bread, only gluten free bread with no yeast beause normal bread makes me bloat, I get hives and a yeast infection gggrrrrr so the weight I lost I put back on because of that damn bread hahaha It is a no-win situation. It will take us all a while to get our bodies back into a shape that we can be happy with. At least we all feel the same way so can help each other through it.
Anyway girls, got my wheat bag on my back and gonna check if I have any strong painkillers in the cupboard....
Shell - hope your mum is OK and you back is better... let us know wont you?
Prama - did you tell the PT that you are still BF? 2kg a month may impact on your supply... make sure that you drink loads when you are eercising too - i find that she feeds for longer if i have not had enough to drink - maybe it takes longer to come out dunno if i am dry - dunno ???
Sorry that you are having a hard time... you will start to get into a routine soon there and you will feel better.
Why cant you feed in front of your dad? is it a cultral thing or just not comfortable??? My Dad is funny when i feed, he looks the other way (like turns and pretends to be really interested in the wall or something out the window) or announces that he needs to go to the loo - its funny!
Skye - forgot to say the other day - your kids are soooo cute! i love the ticker pic
Teach - where are you - hope all is OK?
You know who we havent heard from in a while - mumzy... wonder what she is up too...
WOw shell what a day I do hope you are feeling better today and have don eno permanaet damage to yourself for you prama with stever going at least you can call and have the net etc it will fly by try and enjoy the rest of the time with yoru family
