Hello ladies, not posted for a few days because I have been exhausted Lol. Now I understand why I had pregnancy insomnia in the final weeks before the birth – to prepare me for the fact that Daniel had his night and day mixed up.
Hubby and I were so grateful for the ready meals we prepared in advance because I don’t know how we would have managed. The first night he was home he was awake and crying from about 9pm until 4am before finally going to sleep. Then Amy woke up at 7am as normal – that was a Wednesday so her day off from nursery. Luckily I managed a sleep in the day. Then Wednesday night he did the same, crying from 8pm until 3.30am.
I wasn’t as tired though as I went to bed at 10pm and left him with hubby until midnight so I got 2 hours sleep. I ended up cluster feeding for the next 3.5 hours before he finally settled. Last night he was better, he still slept a lot in the day but I managed to keep him awake for a bit after each feed and the crying/ cluster feeding started earlier (about 5pm) which meant I managed to get him to sleep at 10.15pm. He actually slept from then til now waking twice in the night (both times about an hour) so I am incredibably happy. I hope this is progress and not just a fluke that he slept at night time!!
Mummy clark – Hope the sweep worked for you, I haven’t seen any other posts so either you having the baby or so p*$$ed off you don’t even want to come online. Hope its the first one
Katerpiller – Ooh exciting. Dont worry about putting on the weight early. You had a similar BMI to me at the start (presumably your stats are from the start and not now). I put on a fair bit as well but managed to keep it officially to 35 lbs (well 35.5lb). I have weigh in today but I think I might have lost just under a stone which will leave 21/22 that I still have to lose which isn’t the end of the world.
I am the same as you Katerpiller about telling work. I know a lot of woman have kids but I was worried about what they would think about me wanting another year off when having a second. Its almost like I feel its important to tell them I do only want 2 kids – and I wouldn’t dream of having 2 so close together so your only back a short while before going off again. I know work cant do anything about it but I would still feel guilty. The thing is everyone was really happy for me. My manager was even though it mean he had to look for someone. So I do understand how you feel but I think everyone will be happy for you regardless of the time.
On the 50 Shades of Grey – I havent read it. It doesn’t appeal really (its not the soft porn bit that doesn’t appeal but the fact that i read people say that Grey is abusive and I don’t like the idea of it). What’s people opinion? I know everyone is talking about it so made me laugh there might be baby boom in 9 months as wouldn’t be surprised!
