I just wanted to pop in and say hello as I have not had time to write. It's about 8:45 on Thursday night and I finally have a little time by myself...Funny, the last time I sat down to write to you all was last Thursday, I even cut and pasted it into my email so I could keep writing yet it is now so out of date and I have thrown it in the trash...!
Firstly I would like to give Hannah a big hug. You must be one hell of a strong lady and you also must take after your mum. I am so sorry to hear that your Mum's cancer has spread but it must be good news to hear that the chemo is working.
Have you got a monitor that does movement as well? I have one and I find that it's so comforting to know that she is OK and breathing when I am in my own bed. Which is funny as when Lila was a little baby I relied on it but never really knew what to do if I were to go in there or the alarm went off and she wasn't breathing, so I enrolled in a first aid course through St Johns (they do classes specifically for infants) and It was very good.
I am not to sure who was talking about chocolate but I was in the same boat and have steered clear of it, even the white stuff...mmmmm yummy..... And I have noticed a big difference. I have a very low threshold for silicates and amines and I would not be surprised if it is inherited. (my sisters kiddies are ultra sensitive)
I tried another mothers group last week too. I have got a group who I go out with every so often but never really clicked with anyone, so I went and there were 3 people there and they couldn't really speak English. I was gutted! It took me forever to get there too.
AFM, Sienna is now sleeping quite well in her grow bag, I often go in and find her a little grunty or sucking on her hands but it is amazing to me how well she will sleep now without being wrapped in her 'miracle blanket' (we had Lila in one of those for months).
I have been waking Sienna at 7 every morning just so she has a consistent start time to the day and it is funny as the first few weeks I had to wake her yet now I find she is waking almost to the minute around 7.…
Being a 2nd Time Mum is soooo tricky some times and I think the hardest part of the jealousy thing may be over, but Lila was absolutely shattered for a few weeks there, she had trouble sleeping and was kind of p*s*d off at me. Yet I think it might be getting a lot better. When Sienna smiles or does anything now she laughs so I guess now she is getting to be more interactive which is great.
DH and I have been getting our house evaluated and we were thinking about selling... I cannot believe how much house prices have gone up in Sydney, (we bought around 4 years ago) and I have no idea how anyone like myself and DH could afford to buy a home now in Sydney..it's just insane..but we would love to move to the beaches...fingers crossed!
I don't know if you all remember but I have had some pretty shocking PND (and prenatal) depression going on. I have been getting a lot of help from my family and it all seams to be helping. My Dr has upped my dose on my anti depressants and I am feeling better which is great considering next Thursday I am going into to get a final test on some nodules in my neck that I had discovered during pregnancy. The test sucks as I have to not breast feed for 48 hours after, so the next week I am going to be pumping like crazy...the things we do...
Brussels have you been to Ikea? I noticed some of your nursery furnishings were quite similar to ours! (I love that place by the way...just not on the weekend)
