Lydia So I am guessing this is your sisters' first pregnancy? Not nice when you feel so bad the first time around! My first pregnancy was by far the best! Aside from migraines the first 3 months, I had very little nausea, no spotting, no aches and pains and no real food issues (aside from Pasta - couldn't stand the sight and smell of it and for an Italian, thats a BIG deal!!! ). Had I had DD2 first, I think she would have been an only child!! LOL
sleep So we seem to be getting on much better now that Marco is in his cot. His first waking is between 4and 5am, and then he usually goes back to sleep until 7 or 8. He has gotten up a second time to feed once or twice, but not nearly as bad as before. He also seems to be drinking the entire 5 oz bottle now, instead of just taking a few gulps. Makes it at least worth while to get up for. And the fact that he goes right back to sleep helps. He has also taken to sleeping on his tummy with his bum up in the air! We try and put him down on his back, but the little bugger rolls over straight away! So now we have stopped swaddling him, since we are worried that he cant move once on his tummy. As a result, he doesn't seem to sleep as long during nap time! I feel like I cant catch a break! LOL. Guess he needs to get used to it.
colds Marco's seems to be pretty much going. He was stuffy for a week but the snot seems to be thinning out now. Thank goodness, because I find that he projectile vomits more when he is stuffy... and its been horrible now (especially with a belly full of carrots that stain on contact!).
Mobility Well Marco has had his first accident. Nearly put me into hysterics!! He was crawling around my bedroom floor with DD1, and he must have toppled over onto the corner of the change table. He started screaming blue murder. I was preparing dinner at the time. Heard a thud and his screaming. Sounded like he had fallen off the change table!! (in reality it was DS1 falling off his bed after jumping on it, which happened to coincide with Marco screaming). I raced up the stairs to find DD1 holding Marco and blood pouring out of both nostrils and coming out of his mouth! I was HORRIFIED!! DD1, bless her, had to calm me down and convince me that he had not fallen off the table and it wasn't as bad as it looked. I cleaned up the boy and found he had cut his upper gum with his one tooth and had banged up his upper lip. He was in good spirits, but I was shaking like a leaf! And so it starts! I can only imagine when he starts walking!
woolyjo Congrats on the good news Try to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy for baby's sake.
