Kellee: Happy birthday Charlie (sorry its late!!) Picnic in the park sounds great!! I'm glad it went really well and Charlie had a good time!! Good to hear Toby is going good too and enjoy your busy week!!
Mummy: I hope Phoebe settles down again for you! I agree with Nat maybe she is just making up from being sick or the dreaded growth spurt that all these babes are going through LOL. I keep getting told to let them go at their own pace and they will get themselves into a routine....easier said than done though when your up all night and all day. I am lucky because Jayden sleeps really well at night but hardly anything now during the day.
Shazz: How is Nick doing? I hope he's feeling much better 3 kgs is a lot to lose in a short time!!
Nat: How did your house inspection go.....that is one thing I don't miss about renting! DP and I renting for 8 yrs in Melbourne, it didn't bother me cause I like moving house etc but the inspections were the worst!! Esp because we have 2 dogs and a cat that they didn't know about haha. Congrats to your cousin and Em finding his feet! haha. I had my first daysince Jayden was born that I just thought " I can't handle this anymore" I think I overreacted a bit but everything I think is ok now...Aww thanks for the hugs!!
Vic: Hope the kids are getting better. I think you all need to move further north!! Jayden has never been sick and I haven't been sick since I was first PG and I had a bit of a cold!! I love the "getting to know Mum & Bub" questions they were great
Sara: Congrats on the car, what a great price! And for Briley being in a routine!! I swear all our babies are jumping online when we are sleeping and planning their psycho days LOL!! I know now its all worth it but at the time OMG!! haha I hope Briley's eyes get better soon and its nothing too serious. I am usually up and on the internet until about midnight hehe.
Leanne: I glad things have settled down for you and good on your DH for giving you a break!!
Bec: Congrats to your sister, Mia is a gorgeous name! How much did she weigh? A friend of mine kept saying (before she had her bub) that she won't bother packing her bag until she goes into labour cause she will have heaps of time...As she got closer to giving birth she decieded she will pack her bag...lucky she did as she woke up in full labour and was at the hospital and havin a baby within 2 hrs......I made sure afterwards that I was ready for a quick dash.....I had heaps of time though as my waters broke at home before the contractions really started.
Jodie: OMG!! How dramatic!! A bit of drama in your life is interesting but that is over the top I think!! Poor you! How is everything now? Thank god you found your PDA too, I'm lost just without my phone if I have gone out and left it at home! How did Shaun go at Child Health? How much does he weigh now? I tried to get an appt for yesterday but they are booked out until net Tuesday!! Good to hear he is sleeping better for you!
Kim: Sounds like you have had a rough few days too....IL's, Medicare, BB meet, well they say bad things come in 3's so hopefully thats it for you!! At least Darcy has been good for you hehe. I'm pretty sure Jayden was going through the growth spurt as he was feeding every 1.5-2hrs instead of his normal 4hrs. Its so hard at the time though when all they are doing is crying and I would feed him and he would still cry!!
Sorry about the long whinge!!
Our rough few days started just before Jayden and I went to SIL #1's house for her bday on sunday night, he cried and cried all the way there on the way I had to drop into a friends, post a letter and get petrol.....he didn't let up the whole time. By the time we got to SIL's house he was hysterical!! Then I have FIL go "why do you let him cry like that!" OMG I said "I can't pick him up while I'm driving can I!! If I could he wouldn't be this bad now!" Then SIL #3 fed him EBM for me while I ate, he was still hungry and upset so I was going to give him a bath first (to calm him down) then feed him. No thats not how you do it..."feed the poor baby" they say. Then SIL #4 said "The mum knows best" (not being sarcastic) and I looked directly at SIL #3 and said "YES the mother does!" But I went and fed him anyway. He had settled down after that and was going to sleep and SIL #3 was BEGGING to bath him, I gave him to her and said fine go run the bath......You all know by now that DP has a big family so a family birthday is a big affair......well I went up to the bathroom after Jayden had been in there for a while and I COULDN"T GET IN THERE!!! The bathroom was full of ppl watching him have a bath....I heard someone announce a little earlier that J was having a bath if anyone wants to come up. Everyone cleared the bathroom (poor J was getting agitated in the bath form the crowd) but they gathered around the bed to watch him get dried and dressed......Jayden was crying like nothing else by this stage (after I had got him calm earlier) Can you believe there where 11 ppl (not including Jayden or me) in that room watching him.....it was so loud from everyone talking I had to yell over the top to tell them to shut up it is quiet time for Jayden now!! I took him off whoever had him and cuddled him until he fell asleep then SIL's MIL and two of the nieces had him after that. We got home and I fed him so he sleeps through but didn't go to sleep til 1.30am and then woke at 6am. He wasn't too bad in the morning but I got into the shower and thats when it all started!! I had to get out to calm him down I couldn't get dressed I was standing there in bra n knickers trying to stop him from crying, I took him in his room and shut the door cause DP was asleep still. DP ended up coming in and asking what was wrong with him (but didn't offer to take him while I got dressed!!). Anyway I got dressed while holding Jayden and took him back to his room....I felt so bad I just wanted to put him in there and walk out!! I didn't though I sat with him in the rocking chair and he eventually went to sleep. But I just sat there and cried for an hour. DP couldn't understand why I was upset as he had stopped crying. But all day he cried and cried.....it was the first day that I have thought " I can't handle this anymore" DP did end up taking him while I hung the clothes on the line because he knew I had reached the end of my tolerance, so I just ignored them both for about half an hour while I got myself together then I fed him (yet again). We went to a candle party that night and he was (of course) an angel all night!!
Sorry that was so long but I had to get it off my chest!! I feel heaps better now. I have left a fair bit out too haha but its long enough already!! Those questions made me feel a lot better too esp reading everyone elses!!
Hope you all have a great day to all
