Hello,
I know I haven't been around much but I have been reading too. Bethany seems to have been kidnapped and replaced by an evil twin, We are up twice a night for no reason really. When we offer her the bottle she only has a little bit and then doesn't want anymore. She does settle back to sleep though so I shouldn't complain I guess. Yesterday afternoon she screamed and I mean "oh my goodness I am being killed by my mother" scream for 2 hours. Andrew was at his mum and dads and I nearly called him home but I knew MIL would answer and want to know what was going on and offer her input (which is for the record that the reason she is like this all of a sudden is that she wants solids. Never mind that she shows no interest in solids she has had behaviour change so she is ready.) In reality I think that we have had a full on few weeks with moving and all that and we are all just out of synch and need to find our new routine but try explaining that to the people who know how to parent better than you. The other night we were at Andrews grandparents for a BBQ and I put Bethany down for a sleep and she did her cry thing before dropping off. She does this it is no biggy. If it lasts longer than 5-10mins I go in but otherwise it is her way of winding down (Believe me took me along time to accept that!! was sure I was a bad mum!!) Well I nearly needed to baracade the door as MIL wanted to go in to "fix" it and show me how to settle her. GGGGGRRRRRRRRRR I am tried, feel like I am failing cause my baby is going backwarks. She has stopped feeding properly, it is a fight just to do 200mls. *Sigh* For now she is sleeping so I think I might lie down too.
Sorry this was meant to be a hello post not a vent!!!
Hugs to all
Amy - sounds like you know why Bethany has been unsettled - as you said with the move and probably feeling your anxiety about it and getting her settled again etc - sounds like you are doing a great job. They are starting to realise at around 5 months that there are much more exciting things to do than feed - but honestly if she still takes 150mls a feed - relax honey, she will take what she needs - we can't forcefeed these little terrors Screaming - have you checked her gums, or does she have a cold or something? Just a few little random thoughts running through my head....
Kat - Jack is off and away gosh Zander is still happy just to lay there without his nappy on just rolling from side to side - I have to keep saying to my other kids - no! don't give him the toy, let him try and get it LOL. He will do it in his own time - he rolls tummy to back very deliberately all the time now - but just watches Riley like crazy - he just loves his big brother. Zander's teeth have been fine for the past week, I keep checking, and it looks like one is starting to push through - but I always keep stuff in my bag now for when we go out just in case!
belfie/csab - with WW online - can you see any of the recipes without joining etc - I have tried to look (I like the price of on-line ) - but cant find them - and the point system too - do you have to sign-up before you can have a good look at it?
Gotta go - HEAPS of errands today and a fairy part at 3pm this arvo!!
Hey guys, if anyone's interested I wrote an article based on the technique I used to lose weight a couple of years ago which worked so well for me I never regained weight and I even lost 3 kgs since getting pregnant. It's a really simple technique to get control of yourself again and STAY in control forever. Anyway, if you're interested PM me and I'll dig it up.
I think Jude's teething. Not sure, better take him to the doctor today to make sure because he was unsettled last night and he was folding his ear in half last night while I was feeding him so it could be an earache, but this morning he was chomping on my thumb really hard and I thought I could feel a sharp bit on his top gum.
Amy: You're doing great and I think you're right about what's upsetting Bethany, and you're right to keep the MIL away until things settle down, too. Thumbs up!
Georgi: Are you ever coming back to yoga? I have to take Jude this week, so no more completing an entire routine, Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
Hollye: How did she pull herself over the bookcase? I'm intrigued!
Belfie: You're the first person I've heard of with a sleeping bag addiction . Thanks for the info, it was helpful! I also found Smart Dream bags online, which look nice and the 0.5 tog are much cheaper. I wish we had some spare money, I just hate hate hate being broke with a baby .
Tanya: Things are looking up for you and Maya! I'm really glad you're getting on top of things, I hope it's empowering for you. It makes a big difference to sort out the sleeping thing, a big big difference.
Jude's constipated. The MCHN suggested brown sugar in his milk, I'm not sure I like the idea of introducing him to sugar. A girl at MG suggested baby tea or chamomile tea. Any other suggestions??
he is growing so fast!!! teeth...well they are still just sitting below the gums...playing havoc!!!
