God I am so tired today :( We will be a family of night owls, no more cocking up sleep for all of us by trying to be clever and put bean down earlier! Poor bean was well grouchy today, bit short on sleep until a good nap at teatime. Firsttime our bean is 11 weeks 3 days and also very vocal :) Her favourite thing is lying on her changing mat kicking and 'singing' as we call it whilst staring mesmerised at Xmas tree lights :)
Squid a big hug. Having a cold is shit at the best of times - you always forget between colds how truly fucking awful you can feel. On the weight thing my sister's friend BF for 9 months and lost piles of weight between 6-9 months but v little for the first 6 months. Try and go easy on yourself and hurray for your spa day, enjoy a lovely chilled out break! And Happy Birthday! :) x
And London sympathy on the work do :( Suspect people just assumed you'd be too busy with new bean but it's annoying when you could have made some preps.
Crazy try not to worry about your DS too much - know it's easier said than done but it might all come to nothing
On the not feeding front I would listen to Smiley as she knows her stuff! (And sympathy Smiley not sure how you are functioning on that amount of sleep!)
Mad day - dentist (sympathy Huffle), bank, post office, BFing group, lunch with friend, baby group party. Home and felt like collapsing. Also a bit pissed off with HV (who is lovely btw, couldn't be nicer) but when I weighed bean today she had 'only' gained another 2.5lbs in last 5 weeks when apparently they would like her to gain 3lbs by next week
FFS! She'll only be a few ounces under when she hits 12 weeks but left me feeling a bit shit, like I was starving her. And lady at BFing group yesterday (also lovely I might add) was concerned about her latch, that she was popping on and off. Thing is she is the DD of two people-watching parents, she's genetically programmed to be a nosey parker. Why would she care about feeding when she can feed any old time and there's a room full of exciting things going on that she wants to see?! :o
HV was also a bit
that I wasn't in a frenzy to get rid of her cradle cap - I didn't think it did any harm, just one of those things they presumably grow out of. Other than slapping on the odd bit of olive oil and using that cradle cap shampoo I've just been letting it fall off as it wants to. Is this neglectful? 
I hate the fact that in spite of having happy, healthy, thriving bean I started doubting myself - then got cross about it. They can all fuck off to the far side of fuck, to use a MNism!
Another massive essay. Going to watch Peter Kay on Ch4 and cuddle my windy, nosey, scaley-headed bean :o Have a nice evening ladies! xo
