Sorry for being away so long, I really feel like I don't have time for anything anymore.
Heva - in answer to your question many posts back about finding time to go to the gym, I am just having to make time. It is really, really hard. Husband and I have always been into fitness and so it is important to us but it is so hard finding the time. We just try to understand we both have to fit it in.
We are really struggling at the moment, not us, but life in general. Our business is a landscaping business and between now and Christmas is just mayhem. We are dealing with over 30 new enquiries a day and we are both on the computer til after 9pm each night. I just feel so tired all the time and wonder how we are meant to fit anything else into life! I am struggling with finding the time to deal with being back at work 2 days a week and helping out at night, looking after Sam and then finding time for me or just general stuff. Anyway, we know that Christmas will be here soon enough and we will have a two week break then.
SS Storm- Sam is the same with rocking. We have found last few nights we have rocked him then when he goes in his cot he isn't happy at all. Last few nights he has gone down at 6.15pm and doesn't actually go to sleep til 8pm. That is with several attempts at rocking etc. Tonight we just left him crying (he wasn't hysterical) but went up every 20 minutes or so to just pat him and check him. Finally at 8pm he got himself to sleep. I just don't want to be rocking him for the next year!! I figure that rocking him wasn't helping anyway as when you picked him up to rock him it didn't seem to calm him down.
Sorry for no other personals. Sam had his shots yesterday and was very sleepy today, had two really large sleeps of about 2 1/2 hours. He was very brave and didn't cry too much. He did some rolls a few weeks ago but seems to have gone cold on it. Hasn't really been rolling much but loves expressing himself more with his voice and loves trying to stand on his feet. Loves nappy free time too and really loves the bath now too.
SS Storm- sorry to hear about your troubles with hubby, I have a friend in a smiliar situation ( I think). She is the only one looking after their child. She had to go somewhere the other night and it was the first time in 11 months that he had looked after their boy on his own. She had to show him how to do everything and now the baby has issues getting anyone else to settle him to sleep. I hope that now you agree you need to spend more time together that things get better, I will be thinking of you. With babies and life, you both need to work as a team otherwise it just wont work and that means both of you have to have time out and help each other with the load of everything like house work etc.
Anyway, seeing as I am so exhausted I will say goodnight but hope everyone is doing well. I have read the posts and everyones little ones seem to be doing so well! It is really exciting! Better go spend time with hubby..
Take care everyone!
