Wishing my life away

I'm sitting here wishing it was this time next year...yes that's right cos then DollyGirl would be over a year old and so over this crap....

I wonder what happy!!!! events i would miss if i could fast forward my life...i would miss out on Bear's third birthday and dollyGirl's first Christmas but so what i say!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day?!

Well today was a strange day for me.....it start at 4am...yes DollyGirl was not playing ball....night before she slept from 8:30pm to 1:30am then until 5am....great said mum....not last night...Hubby got up but was not happy Jan about it...so DollyGirl picks up on this and plays up!!! she goes back to sleep for an hour...then Mum brings into her bed coz I'm not getting up again at 5am...so all good, she slept til 6:30am so did mum.....

but today she has not wanted to be in her cot...loved the stroller....not cot....hmmm maybe she thinks it's her mothers day!!!! got to be next and close to her mum!!!!!

oh well today is almost over...I'm off to bed when Bear goes to bed..in about 1/5 hour then hopefully will get at least 3 hours in before next feed.....

Joy of motherhood


Happy mothers day to all you mums out there......it's a privilege to be a mum

Very tired...but what's new

i have got some nasty little bug...which makes me feel like a truck has lost control and ran into me....and completely flatten me.....plus I've been so cold today...I've had four layers on and the air con....hmmmm

plus DollyGirl is over tired and only sleeping for 45 mins at a time so it's a fight to get her back to sleep...oh the joys of parenthood!!!!

Every cloud

Well Sunday night was great...had lots of sleep...Monday not so crash hot as poor DollyGirl did not seem to get out of her car capsule as she was in it when i went to pick her up from GG then in it to go to Cranio, then to Nan & Pop's then back home for a feed then back to pick Bear up from daycare...

Hench why today she did not want to sleep in her cot and it was mum pushing her in the stroller most of today to get her to sleep...one very over tired baby....

at least she did sleep and she seems to be getting better in her up times now.....loves the dummy but cant keep it in her month...hmmm i wonder if duck taping it to her month is allowed?...only kidding

I survived a night off!!!

My most wonderful MIL or GG as i like to call her...took DollyGirl for the night last night...and i survived ok...

Was a little upset when i was going to bed...but that was coz i was missing her...not coz GG could not cope or anything could go wrong...

you know it has really made me realise that i did have postnatal depression with Bear...as i would never have been able to let him stay overnight at 8 weeks old even through i really needed it...i only let GG have Bear when he was 10 months old and even then was very upset and unsure the whole time!!! well you know what they say about mothers and their sons

Sometimes it takes a little thing to open your eyes

and i slept from 9pm til 6:30am...woooooooohoooooooooo

Mad house

at the moment i have both Bear and DollyGirl going for it....and yes I'm laughing...coz it's like they're tag teaming it!!!!

Bear is into the terrible 2 in a big way and will not do anything he is asked...so he was sent to bed without lunch....his choice...and all the new toys he has been given over the last 2 weeks have been taken away....plus no TV today...hmmm not sure how I'm going to cope with that one but have to try!!!!

At least I've been to Garden City...done the shopping and bought myself some new jeans today...and this was with Bear and DollyGirl so hence why i can laugh....

Verdict

So what's the verdict on DollyGirl...she has colic...yes that's right colic...not reflux which you can do something about..but colic which you have to just grin and bare it!!!!

Oh and the doc reckons that Hubby & I are both depressed so we need to sort ourselves out and of course that will fix DollyGirl's crying....cos she picks up on our emotions...duh..doc could have told you that one for free....

Plus I'm a bad mum cos i didn't breast feed and we're both mad!!!!

I can accept that she has colic and deal with it....but I'm not depressed....just bloody tired all the time...with Bear i was depressed...but not this time....Hubby now he is depressed..but will not admit to it...

I have decided to deal with the colic in a positive way..she is not unwell...she does not have a life treating disease....and she will get over it...now I'm not going to lie to you and say this will work all the time but i am going to give it my best shot...and i have only 4 weeks to go till she is 3 months old and will grow out of it......so i will walk lots and maybe turn up at peoples place...

I've just spoken to the lovely Diana and she said that she had colic when she was pregnant with her daughter....it was great to finally understand how DollyGirl is feeling, that she is in pain and Diana reckons that you can get something to help...so it's off to the clinic nurse at Amcal tomorrow to see what they can offer us
