Realised I?d got my ?central? meet up suggestions completely wrong on the geography front ? forgot to take account of the Scottish contingent . And as for central to you French and Impy that?s just much too challenging for my crap geography . (Would LOVE a trip to Madrid and maybe France though!) And Annie I?m with you on the alcohol front
Us ? so sorry to hear that you?re having such a bad time, I thought there must be something up as you have been very quiet Hope you can get through this very soon and feel more settled and secure, but Zack really will be fine whatever happens, try not to worry about that too {{{{{big hugs}}}}}
Kayzed ? good news re the contact from the hospitals, did they give any indication of how long an appt might take to come through? Hope you can get hold of the lamp soon too Also good news about Roshi's nap!
Sleep ? hugs to you too, and re the phone call, I find the phone really invasive too, even worse when you get other people?s calls!
Bloss ? grrrrr re DP and his foul cider hangover, sounds like he was WELL out of order On a happier note I like your new name
HC ? well done on keeping going with the ad?s through the fug, must be very difficult Hope you start to feel an improvement soon xxx
Pretty ? hope you get a chance for some rest soon, sounds like you had a very hard weekend
Pink ? hope you can find a way to make your weekend break work, can you maybe do a couple of trials, go out shopping for an afternoon or two beforehand and leave a bottle for her so she can practise? If you can find a solution to the feeding thing then you should be happy to leave her with the rest of the family and you DO deserve a break, the first time is the worst, honest, then it gets much easier and you enjoy each other all the more when you get back
Mae ? sorry to hear about the lack of sleep and stress with DH, sounds like a nice night out for two might be a good idea if you can sort it. Can completely understand how bf drags you down - well done for keeping it up at this level for so long.
Emma much preferred Hipp to the other jars I tried her on, but all the babes are different I guess, it?s just trial and error. She likes things really pureed, or at least the consistency of boiled lentils or mashed banana (she eats a whole big banana a day, her grandpa said she will be swinging through the trees soon ? she?ll be doing that sooner than crawling no doubt ) Finger foods are different though, she will chew her way through a piece of granary toast or a rice cake.
Her mealtimes are
7.30am-ish bf
10am breakfast (banana and porridge)
11am 4-5oz rice milk/soy formula
2.30ish lunch (small savoury jar plus half avocado, maybe toast)
4.30 either bf or 4oz rice milk/soy
6pm bf (if not at 4.30)
7pm dinner (eg some home made mush plus banana)
bed by 8pm, 11pm wake her for dream bf.
I?m fairly sure she would wake up a lot in the night without the late dinner and 11pm bf, those seem to be working (for the moment anyway).
Daytime bf is often just a wrestling match while she tries to play with my jewellery and gets whingy and frustrated with slow let down, grrr.
Other than that she?s mainly a joy! Still screeching but very cute, loves playing with her shape blocks and shaking her mini tambourine! Desperately trying to crawl but one of her legs just keeps getting stuck underneath her and won?t behave.
