Phew whadda day
Right ladies how goes it??? I'm here with a non alcoholic grapefruit beer joining you preggers ones again cos otherwise I'd actually be an alcoholic.
Anyways!
@Somatronic growing a human is hard (it's a walk in the park compared to raising one mind you) so I think you should def speak to someone. It could be sciatica maybe? X has clearly heard me telling DH/parents/in laws enough as he always asks "should Bronte be awake or asleep?" As he knows we try keep her awake at certain points & I've asked him to help tickle her feet for instance or obviously not impersonate a fire truck when she's sleeping 🤦🏼♀️
@becarefuloutthere sending wine, hugs & caffeine. It will pass. 🤞🏻😳
@paintfairy honestly today someone PEERED effectively down my boobs as she was asleep in the carrier on me. "Awww I love newborns" yeah well I'd love your face outta my boobs thanks. 🤦🏼♀️<need to work on my resting bitch face> I'm sure you kill be fine with the induction & it won't be needed anyway they'd get you booked in, @Juno231 can give you more tips as well with all the smelly stuff i literally didn't hear of any of this!
@Juno231 you are at the stage that I was at, "I'm done now" be careful what you wish for 😂. Your poor friend & baby that doesn't sound good, I guess they won't be able to tell on the nerves for ages but everything crossed for her, sending all the good healing thoughts for your friend too 🤞🏻
@InkyPaper saw your story on Insta & have to say I really wouldn't deal well with preggers in that heat, I keep thinking it's too sticky here atm 😂
@whatwonder heyyyy hang in there. Both my children are windy babies & it's a friggin nightmare for burping at night. I have mixed success with burping (I use quite a vigorous technique which is like "stirring the pot" & often means they go sleepy again) then really quickly start to Pat the bottom to encourage the sleep mode again, other times trying to give a tiny bit more milk to get that drunkness again or other times it can take us upto an hour to settle to sleep again after feeding. Agree with others, it's early for putting down awake but drowsy likely won't come yet but you can start to learn the signs & start to catch it maybe? I'm lucky I think I know now when she's ok to put down awake & she'll drop off (like tonight) or if she needs more help but we'll still have horror nights. We do things like black out, consistent side settling, loud white noise & like you say napping in her next to me or cot as much as possible. Try side settling if you haven't, and give a really good hard action 😜way harder than you think 😂you've done amazing if you are getting some good naps in her own space, keep going 🥰
@BellatrixK lovely! And though better for these things to be checked out I'm sure he's all good 😊also make big babies here!!
@larrythelizard some of the hard bits are branded on my mind 😬still did it again though 🙈
Really need to be remembering that crotch gremlins too, the thing is I always forget these amazing sayings!!
Well plumber came today, which entertained X until he went downstairs & went quiet whilst I spoke to the guy about how he thought what he'd been asked to do by the shower pump company to validate our warranty & fix the pump was unnecessary & would actually make it worse when hooked up. Great. So unnecessary work we have to pay for which might bust the new one again & not be covered under warranty. Hmmm. In the mean time X was playing nicely. Or so I thought. Suspiciously quiet.
Note to self. Don't forget you've left the kinetic sand unattended inside.
