Baby's got crazy arms! For the last week or so Aadi has been swinging punches and waving his hands in the air like he just don't care... LOL! He must be exhausted, he's so active. I wouldn't worry so much, but he's smacked himself in the face a few times so hard he cries, and he's getting scratches everywhere. It looks a bit scary.
Have had a bit of a difficult time at around 5.30 am for the last three mornings, with Aadi feeding at 4-4.30, resettling no worries, then waking an hour later grunting and kicking like he's constipated. I've tried rubbing his tummy and different holds, but nothing seems to relieve it. I'm not sure a bath is a good idea at that time... Then after an hour or so, he does such an explosive poo (OMG! what a mess!) the nappy would never contain it! I wonder if this is a milk protein intolerance thing, coz I've started eating cheese again (I dont usually eat dairy). I'll try and eliminate it for a few weeks and see how we go. I know it took me years to be able to tolerate dairy products when I was a kid, so maybe it's going to be the same for Aadi.
Sassy - good luck with the ultrasound. Hope there's nothing wrong. Personally, I don't like the sound of the implant, though I only know of one lady who's had one, and she hated it. More to the point, her family hated it. It turned her into a cranky, cranky mess! But whatever works for you!
Abb - poor Hamish! Hope he's feeling better real soon.
Deancey - congratulations! so good to find something that works for you. I hope it becomes a regular thing for you.
Alicia - meet-up sounds like a great idea. Good luck with Lily's shots. Let us know how it goes, and if she has any reaction to them (hope not!).
Jess - the ring slings are fantastic! It shouldn't hurt your back, though. Even though Aadi and I had a big sleep-in this morning, I need to get things done so I've put him in it and he's gone straight back to sleep. It's often the only way I can get him to sleep during the day, and I can take the whole thing off and put him down without waking him if I need to. But I usually put a heat-pack in his bed before I put him down, as he wakes up suddenly when he's away from the familiar warmth. He's purring like a kitten now, and I'm typing with 2 hands! I wouldn't use it for more than a few hours at a time, though, as I reckon it could be a bit of a strain. I get so many comments from people when I'm out with Aadi in the sling, when people actually realise I'm carrying a baby and not just a bag! Most handbags dont purr...
I dont bath Aadi daily, as there's no need, and there just doesn't seem to be the time! I do give him some nappy-free time as often as possible, usually when I give him a massage, but it is SO cold I can't do it for long. Maybe should get some Babylegs? just coz they're so cute...
Sarah - ROFL @ porn star boobs! oh, but it hurts, doesn't it?? and I get like that after 4 hours - oye! Dont know what I'd do if Aadi actually slept longer than that.
Hope you're all having a fabulous day!
