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??
I've had a busy few days, I've read all the posts but really don't have a lot of time to reply.
DH finally gave me an eternity ring on Friday, it was so unexpected and wonderful, we've been together for nearly 10yrs, married for 5yrs this June and have 5 kids. Julian is starting to roll more just from back to front and back again, just on the right side. My boob got better by Friday so that's a blessing.
Well.. I keep feeling like there is progress but then everything falls apart again. So it's a few steps forward and many steps back. sigh. On the weekend she did so well with her day sleeps - did some 2 - 2 1/2 hour sleeps and she wasn't as hard to settle at night. Then yesterday she slept well during the day but night time was hell! I tried to put her down at 8pm and finally after 2 1/2 hours of trying everything I could think of she finally fell asleep on my bb at 10.30pm and I put her to bed. I was so exhausted and miserable last night. And the latest thing is.. my DH can no longer put her to bed. I also struggle A LOT obviously but she'll scream and not stop screaming if DH tries to rock her to sleep. With me she'll just cry or moan. So it just feels like yet another thing I have to do that no one can help me with. Tomorrow someone from Tweddle @ home is coming.. so I am really hoping that can make a difference somehow!!
kuraiza - Yeah I know how great the sleeping thing is. A month ago Maya was so good with her sleeping. I could put her down easily. And I felt like I was able to do things again. Now I feel like I've gone right back to the start when Maya was a newborn and I couldn't get things done and I couldn't get her to sleep and I had no idea what I was doing. The hardest thing for me is that it was HEAPS better for me and I thought it would stay like that or if it got bad again it would be just a phase. But it's now been 4 weeks of very hard. As for constipation someone at MG yesterday said their DD was constipated and she was giving her DD water.
amy - You are describing my life over the last 4 weeks! Hopefully Bethany settles down much sooner for you!
hiya girls
not much happening here...besides my little steam roller boy (rolling round the lounge room is his fave past time now!!!) thinks he is very clever, he is scoffing his food BIG time...still not the best sleeper during the day, meh! who cares he is a good sleeper at night.
I had a meet up with 3 other BB mums today..was sooo nice getting out and talking to other adults!!!! there was an 11 week old little girl, a 3 month old a 4 month olf and Jack he is sooo fascinated with other bubs..he gets all excited and squeals...
KURAIZA Not at this stage. I have started BJ on a routine which means he sleeps from 11am to 1.15pm. I have implemented a daily walk into my routine & have been doing yoga myself at home on Wednesday's.
As I mentioned, I have started BJ on a routine which seems to really suit us.. The only problem is that he's waking around 3am for a feed. He normally has 5 feeds a day, but this feed it his 6th. I'm guessing it's just a growth spurt & nothing to do with the routine as he's feeding heaps longer at each feed to what he normally does. The problem is that I can't get back to sleep. Then DH wakes me up, being so darn noisey, when he gets up for work at 5am. Pllleeeeasssse just be a growing spurt!
BELFIE I lost 900g in the last week.... By accident. Just by walking for 30mins every morning plus my 1 yoga session. I was still eating ice cream & naughty stuff, hadn't changed my diet at all. I guess it won't last long.
TANYA I'm so so sure you will get some good help today. I just know it *hugs*
HOLLYE How's Mia been on the medication? Has it helped?
