Hi all,
Will jump back on for personals later but what a day - typical when mums here its all smooth sailing! Operation sleep school has been sucessful - in a nutshell I think i was keeping Izzy up too long and she was sooooo over tired, been in somewhat of a routine today- Kristen, very similar to the save our sleep one actually!!
Well I think she is hungry, will try to jump on later tonight- hope you have all had a great day today!!
Sez- so glad you had a good day - makes you feel sooo good doesnt it!! What a little champ Nicholas is!!
Kelly - hugs to you babe - hope you can get online and vent all you like soon.
Lis and Lulu - I hope your angels settled down a bit for you both today and gave you a bit of a rest.
Ash - you poor thing - I wish you lived in Melbourne - actually with this weather let me rephrase..I wish I was in Brisbane so I could give you a real hug, take you out for coffee and just chat - so heres a virtual one anyway....:hugs: Hope you are ok.
Dan - Ive put my birth announcement on my site if you want to check it out- I had done a few others and found it hard to choose but DH liked this one the best. I just did them myself and printed them on our colour printer!! I use a free program i found online called Page Plus Se 1.0 and just copied cards I found online! If you want me to email my other ones to you just let me know!
Thanks for the advice re: my bbs!! Feels strange to have milk there but not feel full after such a long time. Im just now getting real let down feelings too - thats weird as well - and at the strangest times! I might check out the mag you mentioned too.
Glad your little cuddle helped hun - its amazing how hours of screaming, tears (hers and ours) and feeling like we cant go on can be all washed away by a cuddle, or a gummy smile!!
Danni - I lied when i saw you the other day ha ha - I thought I was feeling let down - clearly not because I REALLY felt it for the first time yesterday - and though WTF is going on and then realised!! Its happening at weird times too - like while washing dishes?? and when I get out of the shower - not even when I hear her cry or think about her!! Hope you are well hun and Mason is being a good boy for mum!
Sarah - you are a bit quiet today - hope all is ok with you and Noah hun.
Everyone else - apologies and hope you and bubs are all well!!
Well like I said -today was so good - my mum is great! I really just think that Ive been keeping Izzy up too long during the day and letting her get too worked up and crying before putting her to sleep and then she wouldnt sleep. So today my lovely mum helped me see the little signs Ive been missing that tell me she is tired, hungry etc and we have gone with that - also I think Ive been too scared to put her to bed unless she is already asleep from feeding but she actually settled really well with only a few grizzles.
I even got DH to put her to bed tonight while she was awake - up until now he has been cuddling her and pacing the house every night to get her to sleep - he was so cute though, when she started crying after her put her down - I asked if he wanted to go back and he was all panicked saying - i dont know what to do!! Ha ha - I just said neither do I so lets go together and work it out!!
Ive also put a dark sheet up over her window as the curtains are cream - so I think that helped during the day. So anyway - we had some sort of routine today and fingers crossed we can keep it up- poor exhausted girl!!
Getting my hair done tomorrow night - whoo hoo - looks terrible at the moment and Im feeling a bit down about my jelly belly... Ive lost all my baby weight - 15kgs! whoo hoo but still cant fit into my pre-preg jeans etc because of my belly, its gross. I really dont want to spend money on new clothes either becasue I know it will hopefully eventually go away once i can exercise properly....anyway enough of a whinge about superficial things from me...
Ive also got new pics up - Im putting a few up each day at the moment!!! Crazy snap happy mummy!!
Have a great night ladies!
Babies - give your mummies a great nights sleep pretty please!!
