15-4-2009 - How's everyone doing? New Pics...

My mood while writing this blog:
Excited

So how was Easter??!!!

We had a wonderful holiday. I got to see my husband's family which I haven't seen in 7 years. Introduced the L'il man and and my girls who are a lot bigger since they they seen them last! Everyone is very welcoming and warm. I do have to brush up on my French though..I understand what they are saying but sound funny as hell speaking it!

Robbie has started talking....or at least he thinks he is LMAO. He is a SCREAMER!! Robbie thinks that screaming is a form of communication...not even my daughters screamed like this LOL. Very cute. He is trying to sit up on his own now and holding his bottle periodically. He loves to go out shopping, walks, or just sitting outside and watching his sisters play.

As for sleeping....LOL, since birth this boy has given us a hard time. First he would only sleep in his car seat. We broke that habit. Now he will sleep in his crib for a few hours at a time before fussing for me to come and bring him in my room. He is pretty fussy when he is in my bed too...but I noticed he wakes himself up a lot. Robbie rubs his eyes like crazy...even if I cut his nails all the way down...he'll pull at his ears or scratch himself up. I've tried the whole swaddling thing..but this boy is huge, 25lbs @ 5 months!! So swaddling is out of the question because he just busts out of the blanket in 2 seconds. Suggestions ladies? Anyone else have a little one that is fussy off and on through the night. I mean he will fall back asleep fast once I get him his soother and will sleep from 8pm until 6/6:6:30am---but wakes up every now and then. I am wondering if maybe time will help again, soon he will be able to pick up his own soother and put it back in his mouth..but man...got to get him out of my bed....my left arm is permanently asleep!! Again,,open to suggestions of how you all are getting or got your 5 month old to stay in their crib without fussing too much.......

As per my last note about Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome....suprisingly...things have gotten better by 75%!!! The doctor said that it was my body adjusting and that I had only had my THIRD baby 4 months ago...hormones are still wacky. Needless to say...Day 1 was heavy...but the rest of my period was completely normal! Thank God!!! I wanted to cry everyday thinking that I had made the wrong decision. I stll would not recommend the surgery to anyone, unless they are fully informed about the whole procedure and the side effects. *Fingers crossed* I am hoping everything goes smooth from here on out!

Phew...! God bless you all and your sweet sweet little ones! I've enclosed a few pics for you guys. I'll be in touch again soon~ Take it easy Mama's

XOXOXO

Wow 25lbs already a big boy indeed, Ryan does that screaming thing can't wait until it gets a bit deeper sometimes it goes straight through me. So glad its all going well. Ryan is a figiter too try throwing a muslin over his head it works for Ryan chose one that you and your family have had a lot of contact with that day so your smells rub off on it, Ryan loves it rubbed on his nose or we cover his eyes with it and he stops crying almost instantly, and you need not worry about suffcation because they are made of breathable material, once he's asleep I'll move it to one side of him so he doesn't get too tangled in it, but if that will cause you worry cut it up small so its enough to cover his head but not longer enough to get tangled in also a soft toy comfoter helps too. Good luck xx

What a beautiful pic of your babies! I've missed you girl! My baby scratches himself all the time! He literally knows how to take the mittens off his hands! I can't believe how our babies are 5months already! How was the move to the new house? Glad all is well with you and family :-)

cute pictures! My LO also scratches his eyes out pretty much and I cut his nails every other day! What I had to do because he wouldn't stop rubbing his face was to put those mitts on him like they do for newborns? Except I got these at target and they are size 3-6months. He was always waking himself up at night because I can't swaddle him either (like to sleep with his arms stuck straight up!) and he was rubbing his face and waking himself up. The mitts helped enormously!!
