Hello everyone!
CSB, hooray that you had some time with DP, that's wonderful. It's so important after these little LOs come along.
Meg, I am glad your night was just a blip in an otherwise quite improved situation. I am !
Amber, that's fab news girl! You go enjoy that sunshine now because it's really cold and grey here, as always.
Beal, you poor thing. Am in awe of your stamina for sure. I have no idea what I am going to do when I get preggers again...shut myself up in a room made of just a large bed, methinks, leaving DS to mum and DH! Yeah, right.
Ginger, that you're so busy with work, but we're thinking of you! Good luck with the teething...DS has gotten the three on the top and is really struggling with the fourth, which I am about.
CM, as always I am in complete admiration of your work as a mum...have you got like four hands or something? How do you get it all done? at really enjoying DS2...see, when we say it will get better it actually does! Hooray.
EP, Tibs, everyone else, we miss you! Hope you're having lovely long nights of sleep.
Here in the Roro camp we're not doing so bad. DH and I had a HUGE row over his drinking, and the next morning he wrote a lovely email apologizing and it came to light that he feels like fifth place after Ronan, my job, my mum and myself. Must pay him more attention (and probably more, erm, you know...). DS is still quite constipated despite more water, only pears and prunes for solids, and lots of breastmilk. Funny thing is, I am also pretty bound up, so I think there must be a connection. I've lost a lot of weight and I've been working a lot, and probably not drinking enough water or eating enough, so my milk has very little fat in it (you can see when it settles to the top), and must not have enough liquid content? Anyway, downing water by the litre and trying to eat more fruit. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
The nights...well, DH has been in the couch, which isn't ideal, but he had a horrible week at work, really manic, so he needed the rest. I've been feeling really rested most days, though Wednesday I was really shattered, so I guess it's still day-to-day. DS is crawling and nearly walking now (walking along the furniture, etc.), so he's quite tired by the evening. Mum is still keeping him awake until 8-8:30, so he's still sleeping until 6-6:30, which is a dream.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and sorry about the marathon post!
