Had a couple of bad nights in a row now which isn't that great. Not sure if maybe I am doing something different or not.
He loves cuddles! He whinges until you pick him up. It is so hard not to pick him, and to just let him cry it out for a bit. I am trying though as I can't cuddle him all the time, as much as I would love to.
He finds his thumb occasionally and soothes himself to sleep but he hasn't quite worked it all out yet.
Last weekend we all went swimming together as a family. It was hard work but great fun and Leo loves the water. He bobbed about just smiling. I did dunk him and he didn't seem to mind. Getting out was hard as he went purple from the cold straight away and didn't stop crying until he was all wrapped up warm.
He is also having big baths with his brother now. It is really difficult to time it all right but so far it has worked out. He loves it and Ellis doesn't seem to mind.
Current routine is going well, although it still can take him a while to settle down. Last night though he was asleep by 7:15pm and woke up at 1am for his first feed.
I am starting to show signs of fatigue. I can't quite speak or put sentences together, I am extremely forgetful and a bit emotional shall we say.
My e drive in my computer packed up on Saturday and this has been causing me some grief as if the information cannot be retrieved, then I would have lost a few videos and pictures which I find very upsetting. Rob is doing his best to sort it out and I am trying to not think about it just yet but finding it very difficult.
Rob finished off the hand and foot casts last night. They are really good and I love them. I'm so glad he put the effort in to do it.
As for me, I'm still not feeling that great about me, pretty minging in fact. I hate that I can't stop eating crap! I'm sure I have put on weight since coming out of hospital and I don't think I will be weighing tomorrow. I am trying very hard to do my pelvic floor exercises, but they don't work like they used to and it seems a lot harder to do. Maybe when I am not feeling tired and sorry for myself then I can sort out my eating and exercise. I was thinking of going out for some brisk walks with the buggy, get a bit of a sweat going. One thing that may hamper that is my pelvis. I can't believe that I am still having to nurse it nearly 7 weeks after giving birth. It burns in the front, stings on the left, clicks and just generally feels rather weak and uncomfortable, especially in bed. I have my check-up next week though so will talk about it all then.
Leo has his check-up and jab next week too. Not looking forward to the jab, although when he sticks his bottom lip out before he cries, it is so cute!
Couple of other things of note, Leo has inherited my sweaty hands and feet, poor thing, he still has a gooey right eye and a lump in his hand from where the cannula had tissued. He is also still producing a lot of boggies. It may be that my house is so dusty that it is clogging him up or he has a cold. Ellis has had a bunged up nose for over 2 weeks now so maybe it is just that.
Been dropping loads of hints about the "next" one, which we would call, Nugget, but Rob isn't having any of it. Maybe a bit too early to be trying to talk him into it. Give it a year or so and he might let me try for a girly. I think 3 would be amazing and I am sure I wouldn't push it for 4 as that then becomes very impractical.
I'm off to try and get 5 minutes nap while my boys are napping.
