Not having a good day here at all I'm at work & Juliette just does not want daddy to give her a bottle. I'm getting pornstar boobs (last feed was at 4.30am) and I'm going to have to express in a freezing cold office soon (I won't do it in my warm office because it has windows to our shop!). I thought I would be ok leaving her the first time, but nup, I just want to go home to my girl.
She had her needles yesterday & didn't cope real well. She screamed & screamed for so long afterwards, the only thing that calmed her down was a BF. Then she wanted to sleep all day, I had to wake her for all of her feeds & even then I was leaving her an hour past her usual time. She was in so much pain in the afternoon too so she had her first dose of panadol which really helped.
Other than that she is still going well. I get to show her off to Aaron's aunt this afternoon too
Sarah- WOW at being back at work... Your so brave... I'm totally NOT ready yet... i go back in December and i'm thinking of increasing my Maternity leave... I dont want to leave my princess at preschool... I guess the first few times are going to be tough... How many days are you working???? What hours are you doing?? That sucks about the cold office... Not sure how i'd go expressing at work... but i'd like to still be BF when i go back... so i guess i'll have to find somewhere quiet to do so... (dont think there is really anywhere i could do it without showing the whole office.. (except the loo... YUK) WOW your so close to me... didnt even notice you were from around the same area... sorry to hear Juliette didnt cope well with her injections... I'm getting nervous hearing about everyone else's bubs going through it... I hate them myself... worse making my babies go through it... but its for their health...)
We had another all night sleep last night... thought it was going to be a disaster but ended up ok... SHe slept from 6-8 and i bathed her so she'd stay awake and stretch out the feed... she went really well but didnt settle back down after her feed. I tried several times to put her down once she fell asleep in my arms but she woke up again crying.. finally sound asleep by 11 and woke up at 5.30 for a feed and slept again til 8. Dont care if the days are bad when she sleeps like that...
DP laid the concrete for the shed today.. nearly killed him and his dad... (not as fit as he thought he was) lol so funny to see them slogging it out while i watched the kids in the warm house... my reward for not getting any help with the kids...
Well best be off need to check the dog and puppies... their so CUTE
Sarah sorry to hear Juliette didnt want the bottle or that she didnt handle the injection to well. Well done on expressing at work to continue the BF relationship. It can be hard work. I did it for about 10 months with DS#1. I was back at work when he was 3 months and expressed everyday for about 10 months until he was only having 2 feeds morning and night. Its hard work but SO rewarding.
Jess Hope the puppies are doing well. It is hard to leave bubs the 1st few times. I cried the 1st day I went back to work with DS#1 and I dont think it will be any diff this time either, even though DH will be home with the boys.
Well Liam has been a good boy today. He fed well overnight and had EBM this afternoon. He is taking a bottle every 3-4 days so he knows how to do it when I go back to work in just over a month.
He is starting to really chuckle at things now which is gorgeous. He was laughing at New Mcdonalds farm this morning when Jordan was watching it, so cute.
Enjoying some quiet time as now DH has woken up from the couch he has taken Jordan for a walk and Liam is asleep.
I have done so much housework today I needed some peace.
enjoy the weekend ladies.
Work today was just a once off really, I work with my mum & she's on a cruise (lucky thing) plus two others were off so I went in. I was doing Friday & Saturday until Juliette was born and will go back to that eventually. Today was 7am - 12pm though, nothing too long & I might start back on that in the next few weeks. The kids stay home with daddy so there's no stress there. I managed to express 220ml but would have gotten heaps more except I only took one bag for the pump, it was a big strange sitting in my boss' office with my boobs out though LOL!
Jess, we should organise to get together one day, the boys would love running round with each other I bet.
Yay for the great sleeps, sounds like most of the bubs are getting this sleep thing down pat.
Anyway, I'll be off, have to spend some more time with my babies
well DH has gone out to the movies tonight to see batman so I am alone with the boys but they are in bed so I dont have much to do. Just a night feed some time around 10pm.
Sarah well done on the expressing 220 ml is awesome effort.
Things here are going well... Tiahna slept great last night 10.30- 4.30 fed and i put her back in the rocker and she went back to sleep till 8. now she's has a feed, some awake time and couldnt keep her eyes opened when DS wanted a hold so she fell asleep in his arms... He was stoked
Deancey- i want to see that movie also... heard its a great film...
Sarah- hope the day went well and juliette settle with DH ok... Hope she eventually took her bottle... I know how hard it is to get bubs to take a bottle.. I'm still not able to get tiahna to take a bottle still or even a dummy... i thought i's be easy when she took a few bottles but now flat out refuses and can go ages without a feed and still not want it... its so frustrating... but also nice that she loves booby so much.. LOL Its great that the kids stay hime with DH aswell... and your hours are great... it would be reat to work those hours... i need to speak to work about my hours when i go back... i'm thinking of asking if i can do 1/2 days for a few weeks till tiahna gets used to being away from me... also DS will be in school not next yr the yr after so i'm looking at cutting down the day but an hour so i can get back to pick him up... but not looking forward to going back its only 2 days 9-3 but i just cant imagine having to leave her for that long... I'm such a sook..
LOL about expressing in your "boss's " office... that would feel a bit weird having boobs out... i just had thought about me in my boss's office doing the same... worst part is all the offices have glass windows all around... no privacy at all... the kitchen is the only place but the male toilet is located through the kitchen door... hmmmm might have to tell them tough have to wait.. i guess it wouldnt take long to express... just have to make sure no one walks in...
Its quite difficult for me to make meet ups... my DS is so naughty and misbehaves so much its quite embarrasing... i have no control over him ATM... he's going through a bad stage where he refuses to listen and do as he's told... i had a GF over and i was so embarrased, i felt like he was the parent and i was the child.... i'm really at a dead end with him. maybe we could organise a meet up somewhere like the play lands or something... at least he can just be running round burning off energy and not back chatting or yelling at me... (its so aweful to have no control, i feel like a failure, and its not like we dont try to discipline him, or try to work things out with him)
Deancey and sarah- your both so lucky to have your DH's home to watch the kids while your at work. wish my DP could, i'd be a bit less worried. (well maybe not... he's not that godd with them so maybe there best at day care... )
best be off, have washing to do and i need to unpack the dishwasher...
I'm in Campbelltown.
