Jazz has a sore throat too. I give her 0.3ml of dimetapp twice a day as well as panadol and it seems to be helping.
She had her first solids today. Ate a fair bit. The first couple of spoon fulls she was not happy about and pushed the spoon away and out of her mouth but then she got the hang of it and when she saw the spoon coming she opened up her mouth and munched it all down. I think she's still hungry but she's too tired now.
Hope you all had a great weekend. We went to visit some friends up at Blue Mountains, was such a beautiful day. DJ was so good too
Skye - poor Jesse with his sore throat.... i hope he feels better and good idea on taking him at least it was peace of mind for you. We always know when something is wrong - good old mothers intuition.
Prama - good to know re: twitching... never know what is right sometimes. He is so strong standing on his legs absolutely loves it. Hates laying down on his back at the moment but not rolling to get off his back.... Just wants to sit upright or stand up. I sit him on my lap, starting to hold himself up more too. As for pools, not sure either Norwest or Stanhope Gardens. Thinking I will ask if I can check out a class to see if it is what I am after. Not sure if they will let me. Unless we just go to pools at a time when the class is on so we can check it out. Need to get DJ some little speedos kehehee
Danni - great news re: solids. I tried DJ a few times last week on rice cereal and he will only have it with pureed apple but he had probably 1 teaspoon in total, not much... I will try it again this week.
I dont know if jazz is actually "eating" the solids now that I think about it. She might swallow some of it, but I think the rest of the time she's just moving it around in her mouth and spitting it out.
Well we had a late one last night. 1am Jesse finally went to sleep. I was crying by the time he finally slept coz I was so tired & frustrated. He was awake every hour or 2 & still really hard to settle. I tried him in the porta cot once, but I think it was only half an hour later he was in bed with us & stayed there.
Sometimes would take the dummy, sometimes it had to be the boob. He was a bit better today. Still hard to get to sleep but a little bit happier.
It did take a while, but he was asleep by 9 tonight. It did take about 2 hours though.
I want my happy baby back. The relaxed, laid back happy baby I had for the first 10 weeks. The one who went to bed awake, put himself to sleep & slept til 4am, then 8am.
The baby that was just happy to lie there & watch the girls for ages while I got things done.
I really hope some time in the next few weeks we can have that back. Getting through each week like this is so hard.
I am a bit lost atm, not sure what to say really but my life may be about to change in a big way. Came on to have a vent but not sure what to write. Might try again later
