Bella - so glad that J seems to be settling down again - i know how frustrating it can be when feeding all of a sudden goes nuts - E has had a few days like that last week, then Saturday she just changed all of a sudden. was really weird. i'm now just letting her, where possible, feed until she comes off - a lot of the time i don't think she's really feeding, more just stimulating the milk supply - so i let her go with it. i only take her off if she bites. it seems that she falls asleep and maybe she's teething cos all of a sudden i get this gummy little bite! even without teeth it hurts! enjoy your time with your DH!
Bridg - isn't it cute watching them try to sit up already. as much as they get frustrated, it is so amazing to watch those little developmental things! E seems to have been sitting up for ages in our arms, but it's only the last few days that she's trying to sit up from laying down. gets grumpy when it doesn't work, but she'll get over it! i'm guessing Logan is trying hard to be like his big brothers - very cute!
Nicky - had to laugh at your post about not sleeping while A sleeps! i do the same thing during the day. i'm dead tired at the moment (i have a cold so feeling a bit yuk) but i find IF i can get E to sleep when she isn't laying on me, i just relax in the lounge, i don't go to sleep. i figure i might have a nap with her this arvo. i guess that wouldn't be so easy to do with a older child as well...
Noami - i almost woke E when i read about Bailey shirking his responsibilities with the cleaning! so cute! hope he's trying a little harder now to pull his weight! at least he's happy laying on the play mat - he'll have to have a chat with E at the meet up and teach her that sometimes mummy's need some time to do things! lol
Hi to everyone else - having a mind blank for anymore persies...
AFU - well, E is asleep on me - again. think she is going through a growth spurt cos all she wants to do is eat and sleep. i am a little worried she may have the cold DH and I have - but she's not snuffly at all. the only thing that is playing on my mind is that DH woke this morning with a sore throat and he isn't snuffly... hmmmm, waffle-ville! i don't want to give panadol with no reason so i'm just keeping an eye on her
anyhoot, yesterday she slept in my arms for over 3 hours, attaching, feeding, coming off, sleeping. i just let her do it. i figured she needed sleep, she needed food - why mess with what was happening! she was content, i was content - stiff bikkies to everyone else's opinion! i probably popped her off more than she wanted to be - she has developed a habit of gummy biting me when she's sleeping. i know it's not intentional (she's asleep! lol) but DAMN it hurts, so i pop her off,. if she wants to feed again, she attaches properly and it doesn't hurt... i'm making the most of every moment with her. it might not be ideal long term to do stuff like this, but she doesn't seem to want to feed like that when we're out anywhere, so i guess she just makes a mammoth effort to feed at home...
hmmm, i ramble too much
ooh yeah, one last update - DH has some work this week. he registered with a temp agency on friday lunch time, got a call less than an hour later to see if he would cover for a driver that was injured IF he couldn't work on Monday - he'd get the call on Sunday. no call yesterday, so we slept in this morning. he got a call at half 8 saying that the other guy just hadn't shown up for work, so could he come in - he had to get up, organise food and shower and stuff, drive 45 mins to work - and was there in under two hours - so this week he has a week of work (as far as we know) and it may become a longer term thing. the temp agency guys LOVED his resume so he may stay with them (they are recruiting for the local milk collection mob at the moment). he was supposed to have an interview tomorrow but i have to call and reschedule that (we're obviously looking at long term goal of perm work), and has a lead about another from a friend who works with another trucking mob locally. so it's looking a lot less stressful now... i'm just stuck at home with no car at the moment (and will be all week) as his ute is off the road needing some repairs. it hasn't been needed in ummmmm 2 years, so it needs a decent service lol mum is picking me up tomorrow to take E and I to the GP so she can have her jabs.
ok, must away and find this number and make this call. sigh. i hate making these calls - i don't want to sound like DH can't make them - but he's working! lol
