bullets

• been busy
• more blood tests
• tests have varied considerably over the last 2 weeks
• going to endocrinologist tomorrow for more news
• looks like it's Hashimoto's disease (NOT a Japanese restaurant apparently )
• doc not even sure if I will need meds but will find out tomorrow
• feeling ok about it as I know it can be managed
• miss my family
• wish I had them around to help, to visit or to just talk too
• feel like we are doing it alone
• being a mamma is wonderful but it can be lonely
• managed to do the house work by myself last week
• managed to do the weekly food shop yesterday
• had 'A' in the baby bjorn
• shopping not as easy as it used to be
• might get SP to keep helping me until 'A' can sit in the trolley seat
• have a new respect for women with more than one child
• 'A' is 12 weeks this Thurs
• he has slept 11 hours the last two nights
• up until then he had been sleeping 9-10 hours
• feel like a very lucky mamma
• day sleeping not going so well unless I am rocking or walking
• although he is asleep now
• trying to keep him up a bit longer between feeds to see if that works
  
• I guess you can't have it all!
• he is now 6.5kgs (14lb 3oz)
• he looks more like a 6 month old
• went to visit SP's family in Canberra
• we have a new nephew called Jamal David
• he is cute
• my little man slept all 3 1/2 hours on the drive down there
• but didn't sleep all the way back
• got a bit grumpy about an hour out of Sydney but we made it home in one piece
• I was a bit sad cause I knew he was hungry but there was nowhere to stop
• but I don't think he was going to waste away
• he is now down to 5 feeds a day - yippee
• reading 'Changing Your World One Diaper (nappy ) at a Time!
• L.O.V.I.N.G it
• so relevant
• better reading it the second time after actually having a baby
• I think I might be quoted in it - unless that was some other chick who lives in Australia and has family in England?
• I love that I know so many of the girls who are in the book.
  
• that Marla chick sure knows what she is talking about
• blogging still sporadic and still haven't been able to catch up on all your blogs
• maybe if 'A' sleeps better in the day I will have time until then I will be thinking of you all
• hope you all have a great day
