Feeling a bit crappy today. No real reason - Liam still sleeps well (actually, I'm afraid to tell you all how well he sleeps...) and is otherwise doing ok. Just feeling like it's all a bit of a drugerous task at the moment. And I'm cranky at DH who thinks he should have a big parade for what he does. He does more than most I know, but he still gets heaps of 'alone-time' and PLENTY of sleep and seems ignorant of everything I do and the million other things I want to get done. Think I just need a break and maybe to take bubs and just wander through the shops without a 'plan' of what needs to be done.
The LC finally called me back yesterday (!!?!!) and is coming round on Monday. I told her I'm doing BF + FF and there was this silence. I don't know if it was dissapointment in her not making more effort to get back to me, or dissapointment at me not BF exclusively. Not looking forward to her visit, though I'm looking forward to some advice. I know it shouldn't matter if she dissaproves, and it doesn't really, but when you're tired it makes everything harder.
On housework, I seem to be doing dishes ALL DAY!! DH is really good and has been keeping on top of the washing most of the time. We have cloth nappies too so that makes a bit more, but it's usually just 1 load every 2nd day for those (they're a gorgeous brand too, they don't need soaking or bleaching etc. LOVE them!). Otherwise I try to get a bit done each day and at least keep the place tidy to keep myself sane and the place presentable. Sleep during the day??!! HA! (hence my exhaustion!).
Excercise? What is excercise?? Well, I felt like I was at a point to start up again, but since the trouble with my ceasar wound I'm nervous to do too much.
HJ I'm so excited you're heard of my brand!!! YAAAAY!! well, we'll be going to Heinz today so we'll see how that goes.
LOL. Liam was on my shoulder to be burped last night and suddenly he let out this slow, long, sad, painful wail. DH and I looked at each other and then I realised, he'd fallen asleep and still had pain in his tummy. He was too much asleep to cry normally or grunt it out or whatever. Poor li'l fella.
Hollye - sorry what formula have u got Mia on again? and how long has she been on it fully for? When i went from Breastfeeding to formula Bianca got constipated (which apparently they do when they change) we also put it down to the formula we were using which was S26 so i have Bianca on Karicare now (not the gold) and that has helped her a bit with the constipation she did have - we also had her on Coloxyl drops, which u get just over the counter at pharmacy and that worked a treat!
1stBub27 - ur aloud to feel crappy if want, just as long as ur feeling better tomorrow and on the condition u stop rubbing it in on how well Liam is sleeping but in saying that....................................
GUESS WHAT EVERYONE???????.............................
Bianca slept from 2230 last night and started stirring at 0445 - and fully woke up at 0530!!!!!! so she pretty much had 7hrs sleep! which was fantastic.
The only thing was i kept worrying about her so i kept getting up every couple of hrs to check on her! hahaha oh well, maybe she will do it again tonight and i will try and sleep thru aswell!
Mia was on Karicare GOLD and she had no problems except she was abit spewy. So on doctors advice i changed her to Heinz Nuture. Ive now put her back on Karicare GOLD as its Whey based aswell anyway and i gave her a few drops of that infants friend thats meant to help her poo.
Shes starting to play up with her feeds atm. She will down about 40-60mls and wont have anymore. I have to really force it down. But she doesnt want a bar of it. Mind she will still sleep for 2-4 hours afterwards. I just cant see how that can be eenough for her?!?!? I burp, change and wake her up a little serval times in the feed but nope.. once shes done, she just doesnt want anymore.
confusing.......
HJ - woohooo on that sleep she got. Lets hope she keeps it up! ur doing a GREAT job!
Hollye - i just saw Mia in her chrissy dress made by Pink - i sooooooooo love it! she looks absolutly adorable! gee and i thought i saw a cute christmas outfit in big w for Bianca to wear - its nothing compared to Mia's outfit!
Infants Friend didn't work for Bianca - and with her silent reflux just made things worse!
good idea i would keep Mia on Karicare also!
Man i so wish u didnt live so far away - u really need to meet Bianca - she seems just like Mia and even looks a bit like her - even with the Mohawk hair do! hehehehe
Bianca is doing the same thing with her feeds also - however dosent sleep as long as Mia does afterwards! i figure im wasting a fair bit of formula but at the moment i will do what ever keeps her happy!
yeah i did read something about that if i remember correctly (wouldnt count on my memory tho these days) werent u moving Hervey Bay way tho???? come to Brissy!!!!!!!!
she just has nothing going for her! lol.. should i change the formula again
but in saying that....................................
