Wow you guys have all been having a rough go! Makes my issues seem like nothing.
June - LOL at the fangs. My little guy is teething too (can feel them and he's fussy with pink cheeks) but none of them have managed to break through yet. I really feel for you with the sleep issues. Some nights Cameron is really easy to put to sleep and others (like last night) no matter what I do he's looking up at me as wide awake as can be! He's traded his long day naps in for short catnaps too so you'd think he'd be exhausted by bedtime, but nope.
Dragon - sorry to hear you are under the weather, hope you feel better soon. Cameron isn't a fan of tummy time either. If he's in a really good mood I'll put him on the floor with a mirror and lie down beside him so he can see me, and he'll last 5 minutes, sometimes a little longer if I can really keep him entertained, but he gets frustrated pretty quick. Sometimes the frustration makes him roll over though so I don't pick him up right away when he starts to fuss.
Hoody - LOL at the poosplosions. We get a lot of poosplosions but luckily we've only had one that was all the way up to the neck like that. Luckily it was at home so I was able to wipe him off and pop him in the tub. He did have really good one at the play group I took him too last week. That was rather embarrassing as he kicked his diaper as I was pulling it off and go poo all over his foot and before I could wipe it off he managed to get some on the floor and me. I feel bad that you are having such a rough go with BF too. I hope your supply settles itself soon and BF improves.
Willow - I've never heard of sleep school, what is it??
Suse - aw the room sounds really cute.
As for us, whew I'm exhausted! Hubby, Cameron and I can't seem to stop getting sick. We are all on our third colds this month. It seems to be going around as our friends seem to be getting the same colds. Ugh I just want to be healthy again.
My other reason for being tired is having Cameron sleep in the bassinet next to us. I LOVE having him so close to us, it's reassuring to hear him breathing and be able to look over and see his sweet little sleeping face. I'm not sure why but for some reason it makes me sad to put him to sleep in his own room all by himself. Having him right there makes it easier to feed him in the night too (he rarely needs diaper changes overnight so I don't have to get out of bed when he wakes up).
The thing is, it results in very broken sleep for me. He makes little noises in his sleep which penetrate my dreams. I'll start dreaming (very realistic dreams) that I've pulled him into the bed and am feeding him, only when he's done I wake up for real and am confused when I don't find him in the bed. I get a bit panicked that he has fallen out until I roll over and see him sleeping in his bed. This wakes me usually 6 times a night, and that's on top of the real feedings, the times I wake up to put his pacifier back in his mouth. We've managed to get his bedtime down to 10:00pm and he won't ask to be fed again until 4:00am, so that's a nice 6 hour stretch, but I'm lucky if I get an hour and a half at a time!
I finally got my maternity pay cheques (with back pay) so I've been spoiling Cameron a little. I bought him a bunch of toys, books and clothes. They had some really cool toys on clearance for super cheap at Walmart and even though he won't be able to play with them until he's 2 I just could not resisit buying them! I'm a shopoholic!
