to everyone who is ill or have babies who are ill
I have had a amazing day, normally paige would cry about 70-80% of the time while she is awake and hardly ever smiles, i could count on my fingers how many proper smiles i have had, but today she woke up with a huge grin.. then she was smiling all day, hardly any crying and was wonderful when i went shopping today and thanks to a certain September star told me about pumpkin patch shop and told me how her little one looks so cute in dungarees.. well lets say i loved the place so much im going back tomorrow to a bigger branch.. It has been a joy to be a mum today and feel like im on
On the subject on going out, i must be one of the only people on here who doesnt want to go out for the night.. since i have put on so much weight i dont even like to go out to tesco's, my confidence has been knocked and i have no clothes that fit, i feel sick and depressed when i look in the mirror. I much rather be sitting on the sofa watching a movie in my PJ's. I wouldnt mind having some more time to be able to the house work without having a baby in my arms, or to be able to read a book but i dont mind being with her 24/7. I think this is because i regret the fact i didnt spend hardly any time with my son when he was this age, my mum looked after him and i was going out and getting up late. I dont take anything for granted with paige but only because i was such a crap mum with Jake and i regret it every day since.
Paige is now 11.10lbs and is putting on just under a Pound every 2 weeks....
I have a doctors appointment as i noticed paige had one red and one white eye when her photo was taken with a flash and apparently that could be a sign of this certain type of eye cancer in children... i didnt want to come across as a paranoid mum but someone said its better to get it checked out, my doctor is going to laugh at me i know she will as she knows i end up googling everything and convince i have something when i dont..
I don't know if James is doing what Harry is at the moment but I'm having to trick him. I put my little finger in his mouth when he's hysterical and when he decides to suck I quickly give him the boob. Once he's fed he's so much happier and it usually leads to sleep which is brilliant!
Fantastic idea, must try this myself with paige
its our second lot of jabs today, Amelia is on my lap smiling at me i feels so guilty knowing she wont be smiling later !
Lilbump- sorry to hear you had a bad night hope you get a few extra hours
Lady k- expelled at nursery? what did he do?
He hit another child over the head with a plastic tennis racket, there was a lot of other behaviour problems but this was what made then decide to throw him out....he is autistic but we didnt know that at the time.He has always been very hard work, but when he was 6 we were told he has aspergers.
Morning ladies...sorry for not posting for ages just been really busy with family parties and birthdays and a poorly Kimi
Kimi's ear is looking a million times better today!!!! She finished her treatment yesterday and is a much happier baby
Had the HV today and she said Kimi has a poor weight gain (she has lost half an ounce in a week) and has told me I need to have her weighed next week and be monitored...
She also said because she had a touch of thrush that I wasnt sterilizing her bottles properly...that i wasnt protecting her as she was around someone with impetigo (although we didnt know she had impetigo at the time)
She left leaving me feeling like a really crap mum....
I now have to find some more time in the day to fit another bottle but not wake her in the night!!!
This is her general roughly routine -
7am - wake up and feed and play time
8.30am - back for a sleep
11am - 2nd feed and tummy time
2.30pm- 3rd feed then nap
6.30pm -4th feed
8.30pm - bath
10pm -5th feed then bed
Then she goes all night.....
Where else do i have time to fit in another bottle????
xx
Ignore your MW dont let her get to you, they have ticky boxes to fill and using you to do it. But agree with the others its because your young, i was 19 when i had Jake and my MW visited me a lot but i lived with my parents so she must have thought they would look after my son (which to be fair she did..lol) she is adorable and looks very happy... your a great mum babe xx
Awww Emzy i hope Holly is better soon and can i just say i lover your avatar!! x
I must admit i did say to my Mum the other day that i dont feel like steam sterilisers do the same good job that cold water sterilising does...it just seems strange relying on steam to sterilise! I wash them in hot soapy water then steam sterilise! Have Kimi got white on her tongue hun cos iv noticed James has today and im baffled tbh with what got into him last night...i think im gonna reach for the calpol tonight if he is the same! Saying that iv woken up with a really sore throat this morning and Chris isnt well either!! x
I agree with this new government review on girls clothes and products...why does a 9 yr old need padded bikinis! Shocking!
Paige also started getting white stuff on her tounge but i only looked because i was getting pains in my boobs and slightly sore nipples, paige was dribbling and sometimes had trouble eating.. everyone said it could be thrush so looked in her mouth and saw white staining on the back of her tounge. I took her to the doctors and my doctor said the stain is milk and not thrush but i still think it could be thrush.
HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! ive been awol for soooo long im sorry!!
Have had an awful cold and just getting over it now, then on saturday my nan died, she was diagnosed with secondary cancer about a week ago and then died so suddenly was really strange. Im ok as we weren't very close but still its weird.
Have sorted my secret santa and posted it so one of you lucky ppl should have it by now..... |Do we find out who got who afterwards? i hate the suspense!!
I hope everyone is doing wel and getting ready for Xmas.
Big Hugs xxx
Babe i am so sorry to hear about your nan
Yay - Soooooooo selfish but I am now an auntie for the fifth time !! My sis has just given birth after a 3 hour labour to her third baby girl. They called me at 7.30pm to tell me she was about to push and at 7.58pm she was born !!! Im gutted I couldnt be there though but sooooooooooo happy !!
Congrats honey, even reading this made me want another... hope to see photos soon x
Laura, congratulations!!!!
Fishy, you must feel like you are tied xx
Anyone else watching Corrie???
I dont watch but as i am not back to work till april and the fact its a big story line i have decided to get into corrie starting this week.. im sure ill be able to work out the story lines, my mum will help me catch up
LBB, I am snuggling on the sofa with my little lady!!!
I have to say I feel quite lucky with Ian, as soon as he comes in from work he takes over with Hope, he feeds and baths her ad then settles her at bedtime, he even does night feeds if she wakes up!!!! Hes hasnt been on the ps3 for weeks, I always say go on but he says he spends enough time away from Hope that he doesnt want to miss anything. He is brilliant!!
My OH can be good, he comes home and holds her as soon ashe cries and cooks dinner every night
