Hi girls.Im finally back online again and this has officially been the longest month ever.Just when I could have needed people to talk to,we were cut off! lol
Anyway,Im back now and very glad to see you all again.Iv been through a few posts and I cant beleive how much your babys have grown! I think Noelia is the youngest baby here,because most of yours are already 5months+ old
It doesnt seem possible!
We´ve had a very difficult month around here.Not long after I left,Noelia went through a massive change (we are still trying to adapt to it).She had been sleeping through the night since she was 5 weeks old,and she had always been fussy/demanding,but she was an angel compared to the new Noelia.
She started waking up every couple of hours through the night,so I asumed she was having a growth spurt.I didnt mind,I just BF´d on demand and hoped it wouldent last long.This went on for almost 2 weeks which didnt feel right to me,so I started to worry about my supply (yet again).I was worried she was needing more than I could give her,so we decided to introduce formula just once a day before her bedtime to see if that would make her less fussy.
It worked for the first couple of nights,but then she started refusing to eat at all and she´d throw up after BFing.She seemed to be crying ALL the time and I felt like I was losing my mind.I only gave her about 4 bottles (one a night) but her eating habbits went crazy so I decided to take her off of it and just keep her on the breast exclusively again.
That didnt work.Shed go for hours without wanting to eat,she had diarrea (on MY milk),she kept throwing up,she´d wake her self up tooting all night,and shed cry ALL day (no more naps)...I was going crazy.
My diet has been changed 3 times since Noelia was born,shes always had terrible gas and shes always been very fussy and quick to cry,but she was doing ok..now we are trying to adapt to her new habbits which are very tiring.She no longer sleeps more than 3 hours at night,she barely sleeps at all during the day,shes even more demanding when shes awake and its no help that when she does finally fall asleep,my older kids decide to have a huge fight or play in the same room shes napping in and they wake her up
She started on a new brand of formula (one bottle at night only) a couple of days ago after a while of just BFing again,and although this milk is agreeing with her,she still wakes up multiple times at night and she is just as fussy.So I have decided to slowly wean her off of my breast within the next few weeks..I hate not knowing how much shes eating,if shes screaming because shes hungry or because something I ate/drank has given her gas etc.
The closeness is wondeful and I´ll miss it,but being as she´ll be on cereals,fruits etc soon,I think its a good time to start weaning her.
Also,I havent seperated from her since she was born and I
NEED to do something on my own before I throw myself off of the top of a skyscraper
Once she can take a bottle,I can leave her for an hour or two for the very first time and maybe get to know my husband again or even do some house work! lol.I cant remember what its like to do something or go somewhere without my kids...even going to the toilet is something I usually have to do infront of my older kids (they follow me everywhere) and even then my husband ends up in there because he came looking for me
I sometimes feel like the old woman who lived in a shoe!! lol.
Anyway,thats my update.How is everyone else?? Its great to be back!

that's the bad news. Good news... Both Nat (Sebastians mom) and Leslie had a BFP!!!!
