I'm not having it easy with Shaun's eating. Sometimes I'm scared he's not eating enough. He just seems so fussy. And he loves anything that's sweet - but I don't want to give him sweet things all the time.

It was so great when we discovered chicken nuggets - but now he won't have a bar of them
and he loves cheese (tasty) - but not cheese sticks ?
one day he will eat baby food - next day won't touch it.
one day eats fresh veges - not the next

To make matters worse I don't "cook". Yariv & I rarely sit down for a proper meal. It's either take away, or whip something up late (pasta, finger foods etc). My MCHN said "feed shaun what you eat"... ha!

So I was just hunting for ideas. Its been hard for the last 4 months because I've been sick, and had no energy to prepare food for any of us. But now I'm feeling a bit better. I just need to find some time and I will make up some batches of rissotto and baby pasta and muffins. God... I need a bigger freezer!!!

My maternal nurse also said I should let shaun feed himself with a spoon!!!!! AAAahhhhh I dread the thought of it. I dread the mess! He eats finger foods (cheese, nuggets, fruit) - but even then it ends up on the floor half the time (cat hangs around at meal times!). Does anyone else's child feed themselves with a spoon yet??

Shaun had his shots a couple of hours ago and he was a little trooper! One in each leg, and one in the arm, and not even a whimper out of him! The doc had a spinning train on his desk, and Shaun was totally obsessed with that. We came home, and he was soooo tired.. so he's had a bottle and been asleep for 2 hours now.

I think my m/s is still lingering around I've been vomitting each morning... but then I feel okay. I guess it's a good thing, because I am at the "limbo" stage of the pregnancy. There is no kicking yet, and the m/s had eased up... so I started to panic a bit. I considered hiring a doppler so I could hear the babies heart beat. But I can't find anyone local who has one. So I guess I'll just have to wait a few more weeks and the kicking will start. So, as much as I hate vomitting; it's a good sign.
