Kirsty's pregnancy and new Mummy diary- from 30 weeks onwards!

[Dougal1983]

Rosie still isn't well, but she's slightly better than last night- she's eaten some chicken and wolfed it down, which is a sign of the old Rosie
Got to take her to the vets this morning for a check, not sure if they'll keep her in.
Oliver had a better night, as in back to 'normal'!
Bed by 12:30, awake at 3.15 for milk, back asleep by 4:15 and awake again at 6:15 for more milk . Went back down by 7:30 and he'll stay there until I have to leave in a few mins.
The good thing is he settled really quickly after both bottles, we had the fan in the room too and I believe that's helped.
Mum's birthday today and I'm picking her and my sister up at the station at 11.
Going to cancel my physio for this afternoon, partly cos I'm knackered and also don't know what's happening with Rosie and got visitors.
Planning to take a nap whilst my mum is here!! X

Thanks she's much better now x

Hectic day again- Took Rosie to the vets, she's a lot better, she's eaten and is much more herself today
She's got a course of tablets to take and is only allowed chicken and rice, which she doesn't mind one bit!!!!!
Mum and sister came round, was lovely to see them, Oliver got loads of cuddles and we put him in the buggy and walked to Tesco to get some lunch and mum a cake as it's her birthday
Really really tired today so having a shower now and going to bed- hubby was very eager to take over Oliver watch whilst I came upstairs
Oliver has been pretty good today, not slept much, but hopefully he'll sleep well like he did last night
No plans at all tomorrow so I think I'll join Oliver when he sleeps x

Glad Rosie is on the mend and Oliver has been a good boy. Go get some sleep whilst hubby is home and can mind Oliver x

And here's my little man, watching the tv!

Thanks
I've had a nice long bath and hubby is now giving Oliver his last feed before bed so it means I've got a good hour's worth of sleep before they come to bed x

 

[Dougal1983]

Well I feel refreshed today- slept from 10:45-3:15 then got another hour and a half inbetween Oliver's feeds
He had a feed at 10:30, in bed by 12:00 (I was dead to the world hubby said lol), feed at 3:15, asleep again by 5 (I sort of fell asleep whilst trying to settle him oops!) and awake at 6:30 for another feed
Had cuddles with daddy before he left for work at 8 and been asleep since.
Currently having more milk
He's really starting to get into a nice routine now- he has 6 feeds a day, roughly every 3-4 hours, 3-4am, 6-7am, 10-11am, 2-3pm, 6-7pm and 10-11pm
Happy with that
And he's 4 weeks old today!
Where is the time going?! X

I know, it's scary!
I don't want him to grow up!!
Yeh it's great as I can be so organised with getting his bottles ready and timing when to go out so he sleeps!
Thanks I'm doing as little as possible today x

 

[Nellylou]

Wow I also can't believe Oliver is 4 weeks old. Time is seriously flying! I've been off work since January, it's now June :-o x

 

[Dougal1983]

Not a good night- Oliver was 'normal' when it comes to feeds (one at 3 and then 7) but he just wouldn't settle in between.
I went to bed at 11 whilst hubby was doing last feed but he didn't come upstairs until 1! Turned out Oliver was wide awake, not crying or anything, but just not asleep!
Tried everything we could think of, to no avail, until half 2 when he finally fell asleep for 1/2 hour and then woke for milk.
He guzzled it in record time, but again wide awake!
It was 5 before he got sleepy and he slept for 10 mins then would wake and this continued until 7 when he cried for milk.
He's currently attempting sleep- he's very sleepy and no doubt tired but he's making all sorts of funny noises!!
So I've had about 2 hours sleep, so I'm rather knackered today
Going to do the food shop after breakfast and otherwise nothing!
Will try to get a nap in and also take him and dogs for a walk later if he won't settle.
Tonight we are going round hubby's aunties house as it's his cousins 18th birthday.
Ordering a Chinese and having a few drinks too.
Hubby is driving so I can have some wine- on Saturday when we go to his cousins actual party I'm driving as I'll be on SW then and don't want to hinder myself!
Rejoining SW tomorrow morning so going to enjoy my last day of 'freedom' lol!!

I've been off work since March but thankfully I'm not going back until next February!
Can't say I'm looking forward to it tho!
Can totally understand now why people have 2nd babies so close to the 1st- it'd be incredibly hard work but you'd get the newborn stage again really soon! X

Oliver and his great nan at the family BBQ on Sunday

Oliver and his great nan at the family BBQ on Sunday <img src="http://www.minimins.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=143602"/>

On how lovely. Nice memories I'm sure. I'm so lucky that my nan is around to see Oliver. Very special.

Sorry to hear you had a bad night. Do you think it was due to the heat? Does he settle better if you just have him in a nappy or a vest?

Hope you can get some more sleep today x

I have my Nan too, my hubby is even luckier as he has 3 Nan's alive! (His mum's parents split up and remarried so he's got 2 sets of grandparents there!!)
So Oliver is going to be spoilt rotten as you can imagine!
Hubby's Nan in the picture is 89!
She's been unwell so these times are precious

Possibly, it was very muggy last night- he goes to sleep in a nappy and vest, we've got sleeping bags for him, but it's just too hot!
He's been ok so far today but he's due for a feed anytime now and it's usually after this one that he gets so unsettled. That's colic for you
Tempted to close my eyes now but he seems to sense it and wakes up, crying for milk lol! X

 

[Dougal1983]

And as if to prove how tired I am, so far today I've eaten:
Oats so simple porridge with a tsp of Nutella
a double choc muffin
a slice of white choc tiramisu
a Flake

oops!!
This is y I need SW so badly! Got lots of fruit and veg when shopping today so no excuses now! X

 

[Dougal1983]

Had a really lovely evening at my hubby's cousins 18th birthday get together- yummy food and lots of fizz
Oliver got loads of attention- he had his nan, great auntie and great nan all fighting over him for cuddles
Blooming shattered now tho- must go to bed as little man and hubby will be up soon and no doubt little man will want his milk at 3 :-/
SW tomorrow- really looking forward to getting back on it, I have missed being healthy! X
