I'm gonna try to say hi and tell you all a bit about what has been happening but i have been so continually interupted here that if this gets interupted this time i am just gonna post it as is or I will never get there!
Kat- I am really sorry to here the slepp issues are ramping up there for you! You must be feeling exhausted with it all!! I have been wondering how your DH has been going? Has he seen anyone to help him see about his ? sleep apneoa? I noticed at one of our local chemists the other day they were advertising cpap devices which you can take home with you which will monitor you over night - then you take it back into them in the morning and they give you an interpretation of them... that is the chemist does. Anyway you may have it all in hand but i thought about you when I saw it. Hope it gets better... were having issues lately but i will mention that later if i get there and what i am gonna do about it tonight.
Vic- The only problem with leaving a UTI to see if it settles itself is that it can lead to a kidney infection, but see how you feel, you are the only one who can decide that. I had oral ab's when i got a UTI after the catheter and whilst it did make Jemima's poo a bit nasty, it wasn't all that bad.
Snacks- I feel for you trying to process the whole going back to work hon!! I suppose alot of us are thinking about when where and how..... My DH wants to reduce the amount of work he does next yr to study more, and my maternity pay runs out in Dec...... Not that he doesn't earn enough to support us, but he doesn't want to change our lifestyle to suit our means... Or he would perhaps but it is hard for both of us. He is asking me to think about going back to work maybe Feb... I don't so much mind working, it's more that I mind leaving my baby with someone else iykwim. I don't want to have to feel concerned that if I leave her with my Dad for instance that he might give her coke...... cos he gives his own 18mo tastes of coke and beer at times. Things like that. anyway I am sure it will work out my DH isn't hard to get along with but it is stressing me to try to pull our belts in atm........
Sorry everyone else, if i don't spill my guts now i am gonna explode and i know i am on borrowed time! So for me the last few weeks have gotten progressively worse. Jemima has regressed to waking generally from her 7pm sleep at 11, 1, 3, 5 and then up at 6. She is sometimes having day sleeps but not longer generally, than 45mins and often alot less. She has had her cold and she is now teething. One tooth erupted on tues. On monday, despite the fact that she was miserable with teething I decided to get her immunised cos I figured i didn't want her to get over being miserable with teething and then get miserable with needles. So suffice to say I am knackered.... she is also knackered cos she isn't sleeping and is generally more grumpy, miserable and clingy during the day which is making it hard. I burst into tears this morning on my DH cos
I had an aweful night last night. Jemima woke hrly and was waking up in pain. She would cry which is unlike her. She usually just snuffles around and it is enough to wake me up. Last night it took 3 attempts to put her to bed...... She would fall asleep on the boob and then be put down be asleep and settled, then 5-10mins later awake with a shrill cry as tho she was in pain.... She had panadol, she had neurofen nothing seemed to be working effectivly.... it was breaking my heart! I stopped at my sisters house this morning and she said to me, " I know she's really young, but have you thought of giving her painstop at night time to help her get a good nights sleep so she and you can cope?". I have thought about it and i am gonna give her some tonight. It's panadol with codiene in it. which will have a sedative effect. I am hoping if we both get a good nights sleep we may be able to kick into a better routine. It isn't something that I would do for more than 2 nights in a row, and then only if she was in pain, but I think she needs some help and believe me she has every teether in the book now to try to cool her poor little gums! I find it somewhat funny and somewhat not funny that she is the youngest baby and the first to go thru teething apart from Bailey cos he was born with one.
On another topic, she is rolling like nobody's buisness and sorta commando crawling. She did the bum up head down shuffle last night along our couch and moved 2 meters on her own! Oh dear!!!! I wanted to be spared baby profing the house till after we moved! Ah well
I must go she really wants to feed. Thanks for listening guys!
