Natty - I'm going to try and take control the Abster as she is doing my head in with her non sleeping and being attached to my boobies all damn day and just snoozing there on and off and then when I put her down she only lasts about 20 mins....I cant cope anymore with the amount of sleep I'm getting and also being on the lounge 24/7 is doing my head in and JD's....I just cant cave like I did with him after about the 3rd night...I've got to be strong.
Today I have wrapped her both times when I put her in to sleep and also put her in her cot in her room instead of the bassinet...I think she is getting too big for that now anyways. The first time this morning she only slept from 9:20 - 10:15 but that was better than usual then this time mum rocked her to sleep at 1:45 and it's now 3:40 so I have to try and keep this up. I need to stay home for her sleep times instead of being out and about and try and get her in some routine.
I always seem to be feeding her...it's the easiest solution to stop her whinging so I just do it...got to stop that too as she mostly falls asleep and just cat naps. I'm one of those mothers who cant stand to hear them cry so run to them straight away...have to stop that too! I seem to do alot of things wrong...
Alison - hope you enjoy your swim class today...sure Amelia will love it if she enjoyed the pool the other day. I only go swimming in my dad's pool as I wouldnt want to frighten other people off if the saw me in my boardies and top...pretty damn gross! I have the worst stretch marks and saggy belly is like an apron (sorry TMI!) so combine that with the thunder thighs and tuck shop lady arms it's not pretty!! DH has joined the gym today and I'm going this afternoon to sign up - it's 24 hours a day so I'm going to go in the morning before the kids are up and he can go at night when they are down. If I dont go first thing and get it over with then it will never happen....
Kymmy - I give Abbey boiled water too and she sucks it down most of the time...must be nice and refreshing for them hey!
AFM - Went and did our weekly weigh in yesterday and Ab is now 5.4kgs. She put on 200gms this last week so that's pretty good as the week before it was only 100gm. She is rolling over onto her side a fair bit when she is on the floor and doesnt stop talking - we have little conversations...I ask her something and she coo's away and carries on like she's responding to me - very cute!! She's also putting her hands together and putting them up in front of her face alot...like she wants to double punch me or something!
I actually got my engagement ring resized yesterday - how bad is that!!! My wedding ring fits OK as I had put on a little weight since I had JD and we got engaged but I was thin when DH proposed to me so I hadnt worn it for ages....I got it on when I got home from hospital but I started to panic after a couple of weeks that I wouldnt be able to get it off and my finger would rot from no blood circulation so I got into a mad state and finally got it off - hurt like hell though!! Anyway, $60 later and it fits lovely now and it's so nice to have it on...definitely too many $$$$ spent on it not to be worn!
Anyway, sorry for the selfish post...hope everyone is doing well!
xoxo
