Urrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh, I am having a horrid week! poor baby 1(Cal) is teething!not one, not two...but the grand total of six teeth!!six!! I'm consoling myself with the fact that maybe its better to get them all through together, but at the same time he's gone from being a lovely little angel (well almost!) to being an absolute horror! he's started throwing his food all over the floor and refusing to eat anything other then yoghurts or breadsticks. He is dribbling so much I feel like I need to follow him around with a mop! (though at least his dribble bibs are pretty cool!) Calpol is our new best friend, well sometimes, other times he just screams nooooo, and knocks the spoon out of my hand covering me in lovely pink slime!
Then to make matters worse I'm struggling with feeding baby 2 (Joe) I suppose at 6 weeks we're still establishing breastfeeding- though stupidly I decided to start supplementing with formula, one in the morning and one in the evening because he had failed to gain his birth weight after 3 weeks. now however I'm trying to reverse it, but my milk supply seems to be dwindling before even cutting the formula- I can barely get an ounce when expressing! currently trying to increase my supply by taking fenugreek and eating more porridge than the three bears and goldilocks put together.(oats are supposed to increase supply apparently!)
Between the teething tantrums and constant feeding I barely have a chance for anything else during the day (they're both asleep now!) so I was really pleased with myself when I had a shower, did my make -up, got the boys ready and went out shopping with my sister this morning-well I was until I was putting the pram back into the car and as I was leaning over and my sister said ''Errrm I can see your Knickers....and you've got them on inside out!' . Oh....
