Just another quick one from me, have been out all day again today... Hoping tomorrow will be a better day. Anyway V has been quite unsettled, her nose is still quite congested.
If anyone is doing WW's and you go online there too, I am under csab1972, couldnt get csab. Just so you have a familiar face in there. Hope too see you in there soon Belfie.
Can you believe how fast time is flying, our bubs are growing up soooo fast.
A friend sent me some unsolicited articles on routines for babies from Tizzie Hall "Save Our Sleep". I'm a bit stunned at the moment. Who is this woman and why does she contradict everything that anyone else says? It's like she's just trying to stir and mess with mother's heads. I can't believe some of the things she suggests, like waking up your baby to fit the militant routines and forcing the baby to stay awake for hours, even from a young age. Nuts! Why do friends send this stuff??
Good luck with the Weight Watchers, girls. I hope it all goes well for you. It will be good for you to be doing it as a group and encourage each other.
I've done 2 weeks of yoga without Jude (hubby has been starting work later), it's been great. The yoga teacher has the most soothing voice, I want to hire her to come stand by my bed and lull me to sleep in the middle of the night.
Kuraiza - Ohh hun, I couldnt leave my bubs awake for hours and hours just to suit myself. I guess I have been lucky with all of mine that they had their own sleep routines down pat more or less from the moment I had them, like sleep less thru the day with mostly cat naps and sleep all night, whether BFing or FFing. I didnt need to try and change their routines.
I am not sure on what has been so different for me to what others have to deal with, otherwise I would share it. I have found that bubs are more cranky when they are overtired and wont settle as quickly than if they fell asleep when they wanted to. Just MO. There are so many things that us mothers get told to do or try that its hard especially for a new mother to know which direction to take. I really dont know why people send what they send. Just delete it. hehehe. I am glad you are enjoying your Yoga lessons, as for the sleep shame you cant get the Yoga lady to come and lull you to sleep. hehehe. hugs
I'm lurking around and reading posts but haven't got as much time to post at the moment. Maya's been a real PITA this week. Really fighting sleep! I've had a couple of days where she hasn't napped at all and she's been really hard to deal with. I'm hoping it's a wonder week and things will start getting better again real soon!
I've decided to try Tweddle @ home, which is costly and is only for 2 1/2 hours but I don't have to wait - they are available next Wednesday - so I've decided to give it a go. I guess it might be useful and if it's terrible it's only 2 1/2 hours. .
Tanya - way to go - I think at home is better to cos you are in your own environment - for both you AND Maya - when Riley was little I had a MCHN come to our house for the afternoon (cos hubby was in Iraq, we had just moved here and I had no family support - they got onto me quick smart ) it was invaluable - just even being to ask questions when bubs are actually crying and showing what they really do, in a sleep clinic etc they try very hard to create a home environment - but it's not "home" - I hope there are some useful tips there and can't wait to hear your thoughts
Me post lol - yesterday went and saw my boss about return to work (not yet, in about 6 months) but cos I wont be going back to my old job (bit hard to look after 30 staff on 3 days per week) - they are going to support me doing 2 days in the office and 1 day from home so I am stoked!!! Means no child care/afterschool care for the 3rd day - autonomous role so i can span the home day out over a week etc except when we have deadlines etc - it will be challenging cos I am a ppl person so wil be interesting to see how I cope doing project based work like governance/certificate of compliance/terms of reference etc ... but I feel like a huge weight has been lifted - YAY
going to the Canberra show this morning - DH's cousin has a stall there every year so we get free tickets - I am just taking Zander - every year I take the other 2 of course but poor mum actually doesnt get to look around much.... so I am doing drop off and going this mornign for an hour or two - then tomorrow RIley's 6th birthday party at Intencity - then Sunday back to show with the kids -
Zander was great in at work yesterday - I was there for about 2 hours seeing ppl and then went out to lunch with some friends and he laughed, and let everyone hold him - sure he made a few ppl very clucky!
