hi everyone...
it's been a long day so I'll keep it ALL ABOUT ME! sorry, I'll be back later for personals. You know I luvs you girls!
went to the paediatrician today, and he basically thinks DS is going to be a challenging kid for some time still. He's going to get in touch with my GP and arrange some extra help for me because apparently the govt. has put a whole lot of funding into that kind of thing, but it has to be accessed thru the GP, not the paed. Makes sense, kinda. Anyway, I also have a few other sleep schools to contact to try and get a longer stay, rather than just a stand-by booking for a 1-day program. Unless you have private health insurance it's about $1000-$2000 though! Owch!!! Don't know what's going to happen next.
So I hauled DS to playgroup this morning after he refused to nap and was biting me and being a real little monster. Of course, we arrive and he turns into a little angel and charms all the other mums, who think I'm just carrying on about him being so difficult. Had to leave early in order to make the paed appt. and he fell asleep in the sling, and stayed asleep when I put him to bed at home. He woke up just in time to have lunch and go out in the sling again. An hour and 15 minutes on public transport... argh! He behaved well enough, and charmed the medical student who was sitting in on our appt. Then tried to BF him at a parents room in the city on the way home, and he pretty much spat it out. It was horrible to see. He fell asleep on the train, and stayed asleep in the sling for 45 minutes, until we got to the front door.
I'm worried about the whole BF thing too, as he just doesn't seem interested in having to work for it a bit more now that my supply is changing. He gets frustrated, and bites, and then plays and crawls away or climbs off my lap. I guess it could be AF affecting things, and an age thing for him, but I don't want the only time he feeds to be at midnight and 3.30am when he's screaming at me. Apparently, all the other mums at playgroup that BF are going thru exactly the same thing right now, so I know I'm not alone there. Just don't get that full feeling anymore, so Hellooooo saggy boobs!! LOL! My mum warned me about this...
OK, BBL... got to un-break my back. Kid's too heavy.
