Helz good to see you!
Congrats again on little Ethan.
AimeeLou- I was wondering the same thing about development stages, as me & my OH are a bit clueless on that kinda thing... which considering my OH has a degree in psychology with child & language development is unacceptable, lol! He can't remember what he did yesterday, let alone 3 years ago
LK- did you get through to the docs at last??? I hate jhow long surgeries take to answer the damn phone! Ours is a massive place & only ever seems to have 1 receptionist who is rushed off her poor feet, & you see her trying to type on the screen, answer the phone & deal with all the patients cueing up to book in or make appointments at the desk. I do feel bad for them, but it's their own fault for not having more employees or more phone lines!
JLo: glad Aidyn's doing well & congrats on the 2 weeks BFing.
How are your other 2 boys with him? Do they get jealous at all? My 2 nephews react very differently to harry- one of them (5 yr old) wants to be included in everything, asks quite good questions about him, wants to know why he does certain things etc... The other (14mths old) is totally jealous- everytime anyone pics Harry up, he starts wimpering, launches himself at you & demands the attention. He also poked Harry in the eye, tried to hook my booby out & feed himself (totally freaked the hell out me!!!!! argh!) and then tried to pull Harry out of his bouncy chair thingy so he could sit in it, and also went into my room & pulled the moses basket over so he cud play with the cuddly toys in it!!! (luckily Harry wasn't in it at the time) You can't leave him alone for a second; it's actually pretty scary. My poor sister can't sit down at all when she's here coz he's always causing mischief & mayhem the second you let him out of your sight.
Anyways.... I knew H's nightime routine was too good to be true. He would not settle for love nor money last night & was still awake at 2:30am, which was completely exhausting & I even swore at him. OH looked like he was gonna stab me in the eye! He was like, give him here, go get yourself some Horlicks & chill out woman!!! I felt so bad... But I had literally been in a continous circle of feeding, winding & cuddling since 8pm & felt like I was gonna die
Once he settled tho, OH snuggled up and told me I was doing a great job & he was really proud of me & stuff, so that cheered me up a bit. Then harry woke up again at 4am, 8am & 10am. I have only just got him settled again... Oh well, writing it off as a bad day, lol. What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger!
Did anyone do anything for Rememberance Sunday yesterday?
Q: do any of you swaddle your LOs? What do you dress them in to do it? Harry seems to be over-heating a lot in our room, but if I dont swaddle him, he either wont sleep, or takes chunks out of his face & pokes himself in the eye all the time. I'm only putting him in a nappy & vest, but he's always boiling hot & red in the face & neck when I check on him... Do you reckon just a nappy & the swaddle would be okay???
Anyways.... I need a cuppa & some biscuits methinks
