Well This is my first child and im really trying to learn as much as i can before my little bean comes along.

Thursday, 25 Oct

My SO is driving me insane...He hasnt got a job and everytime i mention the fact that he needs to get one before the baby comes he gets depressed. I have enough on my plate without him being sad and depressed all the time. His djing gigs and small odd jobs arent making enough money and i need him to be a man and grow some balls and get a job..i just dont know what else to do or say to him. Ive asked and begged and threatened. So i give up.

Wednesday, 12 Dec

Well as christmas draws closer..im actually feeling more stressed out. Money is very tight and im not sure my SO understands how tight. Its ridiculous. Maybe i just need to chill but i feel very stressed. Also i know im pregnant but im getting upset that clothes arent fitting me anymore. Lol strange that i want a big stomach but get upset when my clothes dont fit. I think its also because i dont have money to buy clothes...So im wearing alot of jeans and dying of heat because its summer in South africa now. Oh well as long as the baby is well thats all that matters.

Well last week thursday we found out our baby is a girl. Im so happy. So her name will be Isabella Dawn. Im starting to get restless at night and tired during the day. Ive have made myself some dresses and skirts so i dont boil up. I also found out last week thursday that i am RH Negative..which is not great but it will be fine..hated that glucose drink it got stuck in the back of my throat and i couldnt drink or eat anything for an hour. From the scan the nurse told me my baby is weighing 2.3 kilos at the moment..scary is that if she keeps picking up weight and is born on her due date she will be 4.3 kilos..thats huge. Oh and my SO is looking hard for a job. So things are looking good.

Monday, 2 June

Well almost 3 months since i gave birth to the love of my life. I swear that I cant imagine life without my baby Isabella...she means the world to me. Ive been back at work now for a month and i am very blessed since i can take Isabella with me but that is also a problem because she is alot of work (not that i dont know all babies are alot of hard work) Although being a Personal Assistant is very hard when you are trying to type and hold your wiggly 2 month old and answering phone while making sure she isnt crying is a little hard and by the time i have finished feeding and changing her and keeping her occupied and i get to do actual work i get less then half done then what i used to get done. But i love that she is with me all the time, although when i get home i am sooo tired and after washing bottle and expressing and bathing her and reading her a bedtime story and cooking and eating ...im so pooped and then i still only go to bed at 10 pm everynight and then get woken up about 2-3 times during the night and then it happens all over again, Thats y sometimes it is nice to come home and give her to daddy while i take a nice hot shower and express and wash bottles. I feel almost human again. All those single moms out there i give you a serious badge...You are amazing because i dont know how i would cope without Brad. So Basically im happy Isabella is 6 kgs and is turnign 3 months on the 13th of june. She is getting so big and smilling all the time she also doesnt like to lie still at all and always wants to be on the move constently ...she is happy when she is sitting/standing with mommy or daddy or going out shopping she is always looking around and her neck is so strong as well as her legs and she loves to kick. I hope all of you mommies little ones are just as fiesty as Isabella is..its a really good sign. Well she needs a bum change ....Mommy to the rescue.

Hi Abby is 2 months She does the same thing Sleeps with us eats all night!
i cant even put her down because she screams. I dont know some babys just need this, My first was like this. I knew we were in trouble with Abby the first night at the hospital. I think I am going to move her crib into my room and see how that goes. Good luck.

Hi there I have a 3 and half month old baby girl! She gets up around 7 or 8 has her bottle I feed her and than play with her and then we nap together til about 11am than I feed and change her and than we play than she eats again at 2 and than after that takes a nap than shes pretty much up around 4 or 5 til bedtime where I feed her bathe her and bed time story. I give her a big bottle at night and I try to give it to her at the lastest time possible that way she'll sleep through the night. I use to sleep with her in my bed but than I started to put her in her crib its a hard transition more so for me I think cause I missed her. Try putting her in her crib when shes falls asleep and than later on she'll just go in thier awake. Because every hour at night at this age is a bit much. She should be able to go to sleep all night without waking up for milk.

I'm not sure, but I'm going to the post office today so I'll get an idea of what it would be.

Hey! Yeah we're planning to get pregnant in january! Can't wait!

I was 9 days late, lol. That's maybe why it took so long to induce you? x

daisymum2be - Wednesday, 25 June
Ouch that was worse than me! i only had 3 gel inserts and then they were able to break my waters and he was out within under 6hrs of labour after that.
No, they werent very gentle! haha! Took me at least 3hrs to get over an internal and that dreaded one hour in your bed after each insert! Felt like my birth canal was guna fall out! How was ur labour?
Things are great with me! Stopped breastfeeding last week so i'm a little bummed about that but ah well! Formula seems to be enough for him at the moment, apart from chewing on his fingers all day long, he's not showing any signs of wanting more than milk. Is it fun weaning? I'm looking forward to it! I let charlie suck on a strawberry once! Hehe went everywhere! he liked it tho! When i do start i'm going to make fruit purees mixed in with baby rice (cereal) at the start. And yes, it wont make any difference which way round you give her things - cereal first or fruits, etc. It wont even matter if you completely skip cereal - it's only used as a build-up - a few extra calories. My view anyway!
When was ur due date? I was due on the 10th

It's getting fun now, isnt it! I'm not so keen on the newborn stage, i'm more into now and onwards, when they start to be more sociable! I'm loving all his noises 'n' stuff!
Are you itching for another yet? x

daisymum2be - Wednesday, 25 June
Hello! Thought i'd leave a comment seeing as we had the same induction experience, tho i think you took longer? I went in on the 17th March and had him on the 19th, thought that was bad enough!
How are things? I see you've started weaning? Is your health visitor not trying to kill you yet? I suggested solids to mine and she had a right go at me about how u shud wait til 6 months. Lol i'm going to anyway. x

your little girl is sooooooo cute...

tina3. - Thursday, 19 June
Thanks for your comment maybe some nights that I'm not so tired I'll try that, I usually do go right to bed with the twins because I need all the sleep I can get before their up during the night..LOL

I know what you mean bout working and having LO. I told my friend who is 8 months pregnant all you need to learn is to do everything with one hand. Sebastian is such a good baby. He never cries I dont know why but you never hear him even when he was born he never cried. My partner said he was waiting for the cry but it never happened. The times i have heard him cry i want to cry with him because i am not used to it. I am really loving being a Mom. I keeping thinking that he must stay so small but then as he groes I love the stage we go through. He has just started giggling when he laughs it is the cutest thing. I just cant get over the fact that these perfect little babies were inside us hey? After having him i just find the whole pregnant cycle fascinating.

Very cute!!

Hello. Congradulations on Isabella. I used to come on this site all the time when I was pregnant and now that baby is here I dont come on everyday. It was nice to go and see the people I spoke to and see the LO's. They are just so precious. How is Mommy hood???

angelyle - Thursday, 19 June
I HAD A CHECK UP..and its positive...im happy but worried at the same time.

noahsmommy0303 - Wednesday, 18 June
I put rice in my little boys bottle and he does just fine. He actually goes 4 hours now without acting like he is starving every hour and a half.

vixplusone - Monday, 16 June
Hi! It's great to hear from you. Isabella is gorgeous! We're doing great, thanks. Tayo just passed the 3-month mark and is all smiles. We're taking him all over the city, riding the subways and people-watching. He loves it!

Use Oxy Clean on the baby stains. It is amazing. If the stains are old, you'll have to soak them using hot water and plenty of the oxy clean but it gets out everything.

chasesmommy08 - Monday, 9 June
That happens to me too. I immediately wash the soiled clothes in the sink with a little dish soap then wash I try to throw them on wash right away--no stains as long as you do that!

As far as the cough goes I have no idea. As far as napping goes Jamison gets up at 7AM (we are morning people

. Then he usually goes down for his first nap an hour later at 8AM. That just always seems to be the time he tells me he is sleepy. He'll nap for an hour or two (hopefully) is up for an hour or two and back down for an hour or two around 11 or 12ish and so on. I just put him down when he tells me he is tired. Sometimes I wake him up after an hour sometimes two so that I can make sure his last nap is early evening...around 430 to 530. That way when he wakes up we have an hour or two before his bedtime at 8PM. Does that makes sense? Honestly I am still confused about how I should be doing this napping thing and whether or not I am doing it right or if I am hurting his sleep. The big picture with our schedule is that he usually takes either 3 longer naps or 4 shorter ones depending on when he tells me he is tired and that I try to make it such that the final nap will happen around 430 to 530.
