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?
Hello to everyone else, sorry no time for personals xx
my little man is sending me crazy!!!!! he woke at 1.27am then 4ish am...really snotty and sniffly BUT did go back to sleep after my persistance...i wish these darn teeth would hurry up.....
i am sooo over the rolling now too!!! because he gets frustrated when he can't to anything BUT roll....and all he does is roll...
Sorry but cant do personals today, have a migraine.. Hit me after I went to the pead, which I had found out yesterday was actually today not Friday.
Anyway here's V's measurements.
Weight Birth - 2.38kg Now - 4.3kg
HC Birth - 34cm Now 39.5cm
Birth Length - 47cm Now 56.5cm
As you all may remember she has a little lump on the back of her head too the left, well at first the Dr wasnt quite sure what it was but has now told me that it is definately a Dermatoid Cyst and needs to be removed. He doesnt want to do it just yet, want her to grow a bit more but wants to see her again in 3mths time and will then book the surgery to have it removed. Thankfully he told me it is only day surgery so she wont be staying in hospital just for the day. I am really not looking forward to that day, let me tell you. Maybe thats why I ended up with a Migraine as soon as I stepped into the car when I left.
Sami - You have to sign up and purchase online or unlimimited to be able to view the recipes. You can also get recipes from the WW magazines.
Hi to everyone else, sorry but just not well enough atm hugs.
Had a hot stone massage today (belated birthday pressie) and it was BLISS! DH looked after X, and then I went to medicare and got like a million gazillion dollars back (I wish!) on the million gazillion receipts I hadn't submitted yet! I'm still trying to get all my bookkeeping stuff sorted, so had MIL over again on Tues... and X promptly slept for 4 hours through the arvo, so I'm sure she thought I have nothing to do all day lol but she was nice about it.
new pic here of my happy little boy in his new overalls (finally cooler weather!) - he was just super-smiley (usually it's instant frowns when the camera comes out) I could just eat him up he's so cute : https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...0&ppuser=11474
CSAB - sooo sorry to hear that V has to have an op ,how stressful for you hope the migraine departs asap too.
KAT - lol on the rolling!
GEORGI - eep those night wakes aren't fun. Fingers crossed he gets back to normal routine soon! And that's awesome on the weight. I've weighed in after my first week and I'm 1.6kg down so I'm pretty thrilled with that.
TANYA - I was thinking of you yesterday and hoping it was useful! I'm looking forward to hearing the update. Oh and I'm going to look for that book you mentioned too!
AJ - aaww that's so sweet he gave you that! I might have to drop some hints to DH. We've got our 10th wedding anniversary in May... hmm.
KURAIZA - lol I'm glad you like my addiction, I think I'm addicted to the oddest things! I'll look up those sleeping bags too... they sound good. As for the article, thanks heaps for the offer. I'm going ok so far, but i'll definitely come a'knocking when I start to plateau I'm sure!
SAMIH - yeah I'm not sure how much of WW online you can see before you join. I find it pretty good & user friendly (but i'm a nerd, so mebbe that helps?!? ).
I was so exhausted and miserable last night. And the latest thing is.. my DH can no longer put her to bed.
