Taking a break at work because I need it haha So busy today and I am almost considering taking work home but I don't want to. Anyway hopefully I can get what I need done. Doni can't pick DJ up for me this afternoon either because he is in Qld for the day for work. Oh well, hopefully my stepmum won't mind looking after him for a litle longer so I can get stuff done.
I am definitely putting DJ into childcare now. I have decided 2 days per week at a place near work. I have seen the place and fell in love with it and the carers were so nice as well. My stepmum really wants to look after DJ so I am thinking of letting her look after him on Thursdays. I just want DJ to get interaction with other kids and the learning programs they offer kids also.
I am soooo tired though, I don't know how to change around DJ's sleeping habits. No matter what we do he still wakes up at 3am and then grizzles for rest of morning. I think it is teething, not sure. His 6 months needles are tomorrow so I might bring it up with the GP while I am there and ask a few questions. \
re: yoghurt - DJ loves his yoghurt especially the banana one.... that would be about right, I hate bananas and he loves them hahahahaha
Prama - don't worry about the others, I get sick of doing a nice long post and then for it to not go through.... grrrr hope your leg feels better. We will have to catch-up again sometime soon, probably a few weeks time.
Skye - what a bonus on the pre-school for free
Danni - I would have preferred family day care as well, but the waiting list is huge for this area.
SJ - yeah it sucks lugging the stuff around I feel like a pack horse. But I think I have made the right decision in putting DJ into childcare. He will start on 23rd. I have to send off Centrelink form tomorrow.
Bron - how is Will going?
Trina - how are you going?
Sorry girls it is a short post.... Just needed a break from work. I am soooooo tired. Thinking of another caffeine hit to get me through the afternoon.....
skye - thanks heaps for your support. you are right, copy and paste is a workaround not a solution...
I just got annoyed, last year when i was still in the ttc thread, we weren't happy with something and because it was BB related, we got jumped on. It seems sometimes you can't say anything about BB in a constructive way without a hissy fit.
anyway, i just got worked up and i shouldnt have let them get to me. not worth it.
im glad you re feeling better. up and down days are so hard... steve thinks im not getting much better and it's hard on him. i;ve joined the depression and anxiety thread, but havent explored it properly.
shell - sorry you're feeling so tired, it's so hard when they start waking up.. i dont even sleep properly cos i keep thinking he's going to cry any moment.
i find now that carrassing his face gently helps calm him down and he goes back to sleep. i was so tired last night as i didnt really sleep the previous night, im sure he grizzled more times than i woke up.
hehe steve and i dont like banana either..
I'm doing ok having a really down few days. The girls are going well, decided to do swimming with Summer to try and wear her out cos she is definately the most active out of all my girls, she is into everything the little princess and not sleeping well at all.
Hope you are all well and sorry for the short post and lack of personals thinking of you all
DJ hasn't stopped eating today, looks like another growth spurt. At my stepmums he had one full tub of yoghurt and 1 full jar of vege mash, then I gave him some rice cereal with apple puree and he ate the whole thing and was wanting more. He has been drinking down all of his milk as well. I am wondering if I should dropped one of his milk feeds? He is still on 6 feeds per day, but 2 of those feeds he doesn't drink much, only 80ml so I am wondering if I should try to drop one feed. I am going to GP tomorrow to get his needles done so might ask while I am there. He is now wriggling his way across the room with his bum and legs. I now leave the room and he has wriggled to the other side of it haha so I don't think it will be long before he starts crawling now.
Trina - good to hear from you. Sorry to hear you have had a few down days, it will get better hun. I am hearing you on the sleeping.... Must be just this stage of their development..... Thinking of you
Prama - thinking of you, and good idea on the thread, it helps to talk to others going through the same thing. Always happy to catch-up anytime you need to chat. And yeah tiredness doesn't help - I need more sleep. Hoping DJ will get a good night sleep as well. Hope Poopy does as well for you
Hi all. Went to the doc today. Dunno whats with my kidney, but I do have a scar on it & I have no idea what from. Never had a kidney infection or anything before.
Talked to him about anti depressants, but I'd have to stop bfing, so gotta make that decision.
Jesse's pretty sick. Ear infection in both ears & sore throat. His temp was 39.8 when I took him to the doc. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw it!
Him & Bri are on ABs so hopefully they'll be a bit better tomorrow.
Bro & SIL's last night in town tomorrow
Anyways, its 2.45. Off to bed!!
Night all!
Morning...
Skye, glad you are OK, well sort of... there was a thread a few days ago re stopping BF so you can go on AD's... IMO you need to do what is right for you so that you can function properly and cope with it all, if that means stopping BFing, well so be it, Jesse has had your booby juice for 6mths now.
Poor Jesse with the ear infection, was he very distressed? poor little man... you guys are having a rough trot arent you. Great news on the day care, going and doing something for you is proably what you need. You have been a mummy and at home for so long now, you possibly need to rediscover yourself
Prama - isnt that what the boohoo room is for, so that you can vent away without being told off? Some people
Danni - sounds like FDC is a much better option... has you sster left yet?
Shell - sorry that you are feeling so tired, hopefully starting aycare it will get a bit asier for you
Trina - good to her from you... thinking of you loads, hope you are doing ok, good idea on the swimming you certianly have a little wriggler!
OMG! I'm awake!
My alarm just went off as I was typing this & I've been awake for 20 minutes! One good thing about sick kids - they don't give up til they get what they need!
Jesse's not real good. I couldn't put him down yesterday. Got nothing done & a sore back. He would only sleep for 20 - 30 minutes at a time.
Was hard to settle last night. Was probably awake every hour after about 8. He had been awake for about an hour when I posted earlier. I finally gave up & put him in our bed & he went to sleep til Anth got up at 5.45. I'm sure I stuck a boob in his mouth after that too, but no idea when.
He's sleeping now, so I hope he's a bit better today.
Bri had a sleep day yesterday. Went to sleep at about 10.30 & slept til about 3.30. She was a bit more bright & alert after, but didn't sound any better last night.
With re to the bfing & ADs I'm not sure. One of the main reasons I suffered it after the girls was because I couldn't bf them. I think the main reason it hasn't quite settled in is because we are doing it. Every time I bf him it reminds me that I still need to be their mum & that I can do something right iykwim. I don't think I'm ready to give up just yet.
