Sass- sorry to hear you havent been feeling urself. Good luck with the AD... i'm sure if i spoke to my GP i'd be put on them too... not handling things as well as i hoped but refuse to go on AD not sure why maybe it has something to do with my feelings of failing as a mum... i know stupid hey... i guess i always tried to prove everyone wrong with DS... I was consistently told i wouldnt handle being a young mum and that i'd need help etc etc... so i did the opposite and did EVERYTHING myself... My own fault i guess... Good you've made that 1st step and gotten some help... i have issues asking for help which i guess half the reason why DP is a lazy **** when it comes to helping our tith the kids. again my fault for actling like a superwoman... i have fallen behind in chores and somedays barely get out of my PJ's before he gets home. he mentioned the otherday that i'm a "bit all over the place" i guess that 1st step isnt an easy one for me... wow makes me feel bad admiting that i may have some issues.... kinda helps that i can talk about things on here... i have an appointment with my GP on dec 28th for my last gardisil so will hopefuly find the strength to talk about things then. Doesnt help that DP wouldnt be that supportive if i was diagnosed with PND...
Abb and NaNa- sounds like you both enjoyed your time out without bubs... wish i could get some time for just me...
Nikki- Yeah we tried having a chrissy at our house after jordan was born... all yr it was Yeah yeah then november came and she was planning her christmas already... this yr we were doing the same and she started saying that she'd do the food and i could just do the cleaning up here... WTF... She always *****es about our house cos she's a clean freak... we have a small house and have like a lounge/dining which is like the main room and then 3 bedrooms... We have the computer in that room also so its very cluttered... If i had more room it wouldnt look so bad... Her house is HUGE 4 bedrooms formal lounge, kitchen/dining is the size of our house. plus a family room. she has minimal furniture and only 2 people living there of couse her house will look cleaner mine would to if i could spread out the furniture... Now i just go there everything is done we open presents, eat and leave... i hate staying longer then needed... she gets to me... lol...
Another one here with a bubs that wants to eat constantly... when i go shopping and she sees the jars of food she screams cos she wants one... if anyone eats or drinks she cries for food... At the moment she's loving nectrines (spl) and peaches... i put them in the chewy net and she devours them.
NaNa- also thinking of getting a play pen but not sure how much room i can spare to have it set up.. i have so many things for her that we dont use much... JJ, swing, rocker, portacot. i feel like i'm setting the stuff up, packing it away... the house is just too small for everything... after chrissy i need to buy some new furniture, de clutter and organise more... by more storage friendly furniture...
The prodigal mum has returned ahahaha! Thanks for the nudge Jess
Miss Juliette will be 7 months on Wednesday & I can't believe how the time has flown by, it feels liks just yesterday that she was making her appearance into the world. She has finally started cosistently rolling over both ways & this morning I found her face down in her cot, talk about freaking mummy out! She started sitting on her own last week & has taken to it like a duck to water, she sits for several minutes at a time only falling over if she reaches too far for a toy!! She is totally not into solids, ulike most of the other bubs from what I read! If I give her puree she gags & pukes everywhere, but actual solid foods she's ok on... So she gums pieces of rockmelon, watermelon, mango, apple, banana & boiled carrot. Tonight I'm going to try her with creamed corn. She's still breastfed & almost 9.5kg so it' not going to hurt going slow with solids.
We have really big mummy issues which is why I'm not online so much anymore. I can barely leave her sight without her going into hysterics, so it's really tough most of the time. Her night sleeps were horrific for about 8 weeks, in that it would take 2 hours + to get her settled, so I was getting up at 6-7am with Zander then crashing into bed at 11pm with no break time at all so it was very very tiring for a while there. But now I'm on meds for Hashimoto's disease (just diagnosed), Juliette is sleeping better so we're getting much more organised.
Can't wait for Christmas, I have lots of fun new toys for miss J which is great cos she's getting a bit bored of the ones she has..... Anyway best be off to make some dinner & I'll try really hard to keep up to date in here from now on. Jess can come kick me if I don't!!
I was just peeking at your pics on FB... Juliette is such a cutie... those cheeks are gorgeous. DD always sleeps on her tummy and DP freaks out when he goes in and she's face down.... i'm used to it.. DS used to aswell... The BF sounds like its going well...
We also have Mummy issues... i think a few of us have clingy babies... Not sure what Hashimoto's disease is but hope the meds work.... I hear you on the organisation... I need to get more into a routine and start to get ontop on things... Starting tomorrow.
Well both kids are in bed so i'm off to watch the rest of bones and then shower and bed... Nite all.. .Hoipe all is well
Thanks for your support ladies. I am glad to report after going out today. Little Yasmeenia went to bed at 8pm. Yeeeaaaaahhhhhhh. Hope she sleeps well.
Jess, Hashimoto's is when your body attacks your thyroid, so it means that everything is my body has slowed down - heart rate, metabolism etc, it causes extreme fatigue and forgetfullness as well. Most days I was struggling to do anything more than basic feeding / looking after the kids, but in the last fortnight since being on my meds I'm feeling much better.
Zander used to flip onto his tummy to sleep, but I never saw him with his face straight down on the matress, his head was always turned to the side.
Sarah- thanks for filling me in.. Glad the meds are working for you though...
We had a bad night... DD was up 4 times... i was so exhausted and just couldnt manage to do the resettle stuf so i gave in and fed her each time... she resettled each time with the feed was up at 5.30 so i;m feeling a bit blah at the moment still... need to get up and get my butt into gear get the house work done so i can work up some energy... I feel like i could just shut my eyes for the whole day... I have a huge list of things to do...
Yesterday i only got 1 load of terry flats washed and 1 load of clothes, cleaned the bathroom and toilet and kitchen
Today i have 2 loads of towels another 2 loads of clothes all to wash and hang out. sort out the stuff from yesterdayretidy the kitchen and bathroom (so it stays clean) then its off to jordan's room to give it a HUGE clean out before christmas... I'm thinking of going through all his toys and getting rid of some.... he hass too many and cant clean up properly so there going... Plus its chrissy and he'll no doubt get new toys also... why do we buy so many toys... If i had a big enough house i'd make 1 room a play room and leave the bedrooms for sleeping only... lol
Well best be off.. hope everyone else had a better night...
Sarah great to see you back in here. I also had a peek at your photo's on fb and juliette is gorgeous, she reminds me of cody he was a cubby bubby!!!! I too was diagnosed with Hasimoto's disease about two months ago. I am feeling much better lately, have to go for another blood test in early february. I know what you mean when you say that little things are a struggle, i did not know that one person could feel so tired. By lunch time i was ready for bed and by 7 i could not keep my eyes open. I am on 50mg at the moment and i feel really great but i think that anything is better then how i felt!! I hope that you feel better soon, i know so many people lately who have been diagnosed its weired. Hope to see you back again soon and i will add you on fb next time i am on there.
Jess tiahna is sooooooooooooooooooo cute on those videos, in the bath, crawling or should i say ???????????????? there is no real way of discribing it, so gorgeous you should be proud. Sorry to hear about your bad night hope that she sleeps well for you today, wow on your house work you got alot achieved yesterday, i wish i could have one daya week when someone else looked after the kids so i could just clean the entire house!! I know what you mean when you say your house looks messy cause its cluttered. Its the story of mylife no matter what i do there is just stuff everywhere. We are looking to upgrade next year to a bigger house, just have to save some money first and hopefully after the next financial year.
Girl22 i am glad that she was in bed early and i hope you had agreat night sleep.
Well Abbie is still rolling everywhere, pushing herslelf backwards till she gets stuck. Is everyone's bubs sitting up? Abbie nearly can she just forgets that i am not behind her and gets excited and pushes back with her legs. Oh well soon enough!!
Hope everyone has a great day, i have lots of kids today so better be off and get ready
she sleeps well.
