Hello all,
Right! Apologies for extended absence; this is down to trip to Somerset (bliss) and DS going sack of hammers since we?ve been back ? generally yelling his tiny little lobster-red head off for all he?s worth. So loud is he, in fact, that when I called my mother and she heard him in the background she insisted that I take him to the doctor forthwith [gasp]. So, at end of my tether, I did ? doctor?s verdict: the baby?s fine but you?ve lost too much weight; it?s possible that he?s just hungry, have you considered topping up with formula? So, , that?s what I?m doing ? and I must admit he seems less upset as a result (hence me finally crawling back on to MN). Bit of a bugger though; I?m kind of upset about it all, which has come as a bit of a surprise to me (thought I was more tough as old boots pragmatic than that .
Anyway, have just spent about half an hour catching up on thread, which as far as I can tell consists of rampaging bulls, chicken houses, Mulberry bags, children?s birthdays and logical positivism
Anniemac ? so sorry to hear your news. Hope the wheatgerm does its thing.
Pru, congrats on the norks! What a relief.
Batters, glad you managed to talk to DD ? sounds like she knows where she went wrong. Hope all calm now.
Saggar ? god, your poor DS. Bloody hell. Hope he and you are ok.
Duchess, with you on the fatigue. DS still feed once or twice through the night, but is now coupling this with a charming new trick of staying awake at any time from about half four onwards, if he rouses. Have hit a bit of a wall with it this week [yawn]. Can?t believe Archie?s a month old already! Kit hit the three-month mark yesterday (just as I hit the wall, in fact ).
Bootcamping, not too bad. Had a splendid new haircut yesterday, but, horrifyingly, it?s my last with my lovely hairdresser, who is upping sticks to Canada of all places to live with holiday romance boyfriend, whom she met in February [gasp]. Am actually quite thrilled for her but naturally devastated for myself . We both shed a tear on parting.
Food not bad: bbq yesterday, but had lots of meat and salad, and a minimum of wine.
Bodybrushing, moisturiser, sun screen and so forth all good. My goal: to sort out the grim skin on my heels. Bleeeee.
Right, must go and do chores while DS naps.
