Sheree – sorry I don’t have any tips on the feeding thing. Is this what he has when he demand feeds, or are you trying to set up a feeding schedule for him? I wish I could help you out, but I’m sure someone will come up with some solutions for you. BTW, I’m not SuperMum, don’t worry! It’s all a façade… LOL BTW, I’m glad that Lachie is more contented, but it doesn’t matter whether they’re happy or not – you NEVER stop worrying, so get used to it!
Jodie – woah, sounds like you’ve had a bit of a time with your step-sister. It’s a shame that it put a downer on your day. What a lovely idea for presents too. Going to the gym twice – impressive! I reckon you should go to help at WW again – maybe you’ll be encouraged to eat well too. I’ve been meaning to go back too, but I’m scared that my scales might be different to theirs and I would be really upset.
Vic – sounds like you made the right decision with the ff. It’s just too hard when you’re struggling to bf while looking after other kids too. Hope it works out better for you. And happy birthday too! I hope you had a great time out. That’s nice of your sister to offer to look after the kids. And a new puppy! How cute. How is he with the kids? No biting or anything? LOL at the Father’s Day “present”. Hope you bought something nice. How nice that DH has the week off.
Tania – Yep, the kids were awake on that crazy day! Believe me, I was as surprised as you that I managed to get it all done. I didn’t do all the cooking for the kitchen tea when the kids were awake, but I was baking like a fiend when they went to sleep on Friday night and DH looked after Charlie while I went to the kitchen tea. I took Toby, but he slept through most of it so I could be a good hostess! The bicarb thing sounds good. Toby has cradle cap and I think he’s going to have bad skin like me (bloody redheads!). I’ll give it a try. So when do you think you’ll start on the meds? You certainly have given bf a good go, and he’s got a lot of benefit out of it. I know that ‘breast is best’ but sometimes I think the medical profession pushes it a bit too much and makes mums feel guilty if they can’t do it/decide to stop for whatever reason. It really is a personal choice and I hope that no-one feels judged for whatever decisions they make. Gosh, you sound like you’ve been busy too! Hope you had a nice dinner at SIL’s house.
Kim – what a cute idea for Father’s Day. I wish I was energetic enough to do that. The most I could manage was a lovely breakfast for DH. It will be lovely to look back at that when Darcy’s older too. Sorry that FIL was a pain, but it sounds like it’s to be expected these days anyway, right? I bet you’ll love Boy From Oz – I saw it a few years ago (not the stadium version) and it was great. Would be awesome with Hugh Jackman too. Mmm, Hugh Jackman.
Lea – what a gorgeous poem. I bet Gordon loved it, and I hope you guys had a nice day.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. We had a busy one – almost SIL’s kitchen tea went really well, but I ate waaaaay too much and there were leftovers too, so I’ve been eating all weekend. Not such a good thing to do with the wedding less than 5 weeks away. It’s raining on and off here today so I’m going to go to Mum’s and spend most of the day on the treadmill to make up for it! Toby doing great. He settles so well, which is half the battle, I reckon. I don’t have to go into him most times at all – he just grizzles for a few minutes and goes to sleep when he’s ready. We’ve had some good nights recently – one where he went 7 hours then 5 hours between feeds, and the other night he went 8! Hope it’s a sign of things to come. We were shocked – Charlie would NEVER have done that. Things are all going well here. We’re going away with Mum, Dad, bro and almost SIL on the weekend for Dad’s 50th. Should be fun, but almost SIL and Dad can really push each other’s buttons, so we’ve had to speak to them separately to make sure that they are good, otherwise it will spoil the whole weekend. I hope it goes ok! Anyway, off to Mum’s. I hope you guys all have a lovely day.
