I really didn't realise how colicy Oscar was until Saskia came over on Monday and suggested I tried Colief to see if it would help. You would not believe the difference! It is like having a totally different baby. He isn't screaming out in pain and is able to have restful sleep which he is doing quite a lot of now. It's just like how I thought it would be. Give him a good feed and then let him sleep in his chair for a bit. I feel so much better now and I just hope that it continues. I know he isn't going to keep sleeping all the time but at least now I feel like he is feeling better which means I am.
The only problem with Colief is that it cost £10.97 a bottle! You can get it on prescription and I will ask when I go for my 6 week check up but I don't think they will let me for some reason.
I'm having issues with the name again. What a nightmare! I keep calling him Oliver! I don't know what to do. I'm not sure if I should give changing his name any serious thought or not! Have to wait and see.
Last night Rob and I attempted to do the hand and foot casts like we did for the older boys. I really forgot how tricky it is. Oscar did really really well though. He cried a lot but settled and went back to sleep okay. We did quite a few attempts but we won't know how well they turned out until the weekend. We may have to do some more, I certainly hope not, and Rob even more! He even said he wouldn't have any more children as he never wants to do the casting again. I can't say I blame him, it is a complete arse but I do love that we have done it.
My skin is changing and my hair has slowly started to fall out. I'm getting spots again and my hair needs washing more often which is great now I have lots more free time, NOT!
I've been on my own this week with all 3 of the boys and so far so good. I'm actually really enjoying it but it is really hard work. I really don't stop, other than to feed and even then I have to get up and do stuff. Today I was feeding when I got Leo out of his high chair, up the stairs and into his cot for nap time. Don't know how I managed it really. Oscar did come off while I was zipping Leo into his sleeping bag though. I'm not wonder woman!
I took all 3 of them to Leo's music class and it all just went really well. Too well in fact as I'm waiting for it all to go tits up! I'm not being negative, far from it, I'm just taking each day as it comes and hoping for the best. I'm certainly trying very hard and I hope it continues to be so enjoyable. I'm certain there will be bad days but like I said, just taking it as it comes for now.
