hi everyone! so sorry i've been missing for so long. i think that i'll probably be able to post 1x a month at this rate. can't sit in front of the computer these days coz' max is just always on the go. and i don't really want to stop her "exploring" so i end up just following her around trying to block possible sources of bruises. speaking of which, we had our first a few weeks ago, but they're now constantly replaced with new ones. i used to know where they came from or how it happened, but now, i just see them and wonder.
i've missed whole threads so i won't bother with trying to catch up on personals. except for the recent ones.
leeann, hope jordy's all better for all that. and hope you get a break as well.
sherie, i think you've had a sick household? hope all's well now and it wasn't too draining on you.
hi to lil rachee and chepie! i'm with a couple of mother's groups but the ladies in here have been a blessing from pregnancy to now....i've learnt so much from what's been shared in here and hope that you're able to get as much out of this as i have.
need to get the PP that you're talking about sherie. might help with the sleep.
max has been pretty ok on her sleeping but still not through the night. doesn't self settle either....well, to be fair, she does sometimes but often needs to be picked up. although, it might be because her cot's still in our room. anyway, have had nights where we only had to resettle 1x after we've gone to bed, and then there have been the other night when we got up every hour!!! that was a killer specially since she slept through from 12 to 5:30 the previous night....and i thought "this is it!"...that should teach me not to expect.
eating...i've sort of stopped preparing food for her and just using up what i've got left in the freezer. have been giving her food that we eat. ie. spinach and ricotta ravioli when i was at coffee club, salmon, spag bol, risotto, etc. if what we're having is something i can mash up or give as finger food, then i don't bother with preparing anything separate.
teeth...still the same bottom 2 from march. although, i think she might have some coming coz' she's been drooling excessively the past couple of days
health...was (is?) coming down with a cold but have been giving her more water than usual and orange juice. am assuming that oj isn't bad for her since i'm supposed to be giving her fruits anyway? and the list i was coming off says "all fruits and veges"...so far, there doesn't appear to be any adverse reactions.
DH/DP, been lucky as mine cooked dinner tonight as well. and breakfast this morning...and did the dishes...
anyway, i think sleep might finally be here. i drank dh's regular tea (as opposed to my decaf tea) and am awake. went to bed at around 10'ish and just tossed and turned so decided to get up and post. only time that i can in peace.
ladies, will continue to lurk but hoping to be able to post more often than i have been.
