Coping with older children

[jaasssy82]

Just somewhere i thought it would be good to discuss how we are coping with our pregnancies and our other children.

Im finding it pretty hard as i feel so much snappier... and it seems everytime i get a nasty headache my lil 20mth finds it in his to squeeel ahhhhhh it hurts.. Nad not being able to just go and lay down when i feel i need it doesnt help either.......once the morning sickness sets in im in trouble as i had a bug a few months back and when he heard me vomit he's scream and cry.. he was terrfied... im wishing, hoping and praying it doesnt happen.. or atleast its not so bad this time round....:fingerscrossed:

Aww i completely know how ya feel ... gosh my toddler means well but i find myself almost every hour on the hour ready to explode. I love her dearly and i know its ME all me why im grumpy I havent growled at her, but grrr sometimes its like she wakes up and deliberately finds ways of ticking me off.

"Pulling out all everything and anything out of cupboards ... drawling on walls ... screaming when im talking on the phone ... throwing things in toilet bowel OH and new fav of her poking me in the eyes while saying eyes :thumbsdown: "

Its moments like this morning where shes riding the vaccume cleaner ..... trying to feed teddy her bottle, brinking blanky to come and snuggle with me on lounge .... or lisening to her trying to communicate something "that a MINE" aww poo mummy ippy tinks" - where it all becomes worth it :smiliedance:

Definitely hear you! S is teething on and off and oh my goodness I was about ready to throw myself in front of oncoming traffic! Doesn't help that DH is still working away (waiting for official transfer) so I'm doing it all alone. :(

I am finding it pretty hard going atm looking after my four kids, my little one is cutting her first teeth so she is up most nights, Colin has just started a new job and is out of the house most of the day, i am going to bed as soon as he comes home because i am so tired.

My DS (2) isn't too bad, he is pretty happy to amuse himself at the moment, although I don't know how long it will last! Our yard is fully fenced and if I open up the curtain I can see him so I let him run riot outside! Poor little bugger had a fright when I had my head down the toilet bowl :barf: ! He wasn't sure what to do, so he pat my back, cried, asked 'whats that', and shoved a book under my face wanting me to read it - all the while Im :barf: !

Im sorry you not feeling well eithre Harmony... but your blog did make me have a little giggle.. as i can see my son doing that.. oooh what a situation to be in... they are so innocent arent they........ mind u last time he heard me:barf: he screamed his head off... it really frightens him the poor bugger

I hear you :yes: My daughter is almost 2 & has become a monster lately. All she wants to do is jump on me. She is so clingy its not funny, she wont leave me even to go to DH :eek: She wants to breastfeed all the time which is odd as she was down to one feed a day.

I think she is getting her 2 yr old molars though, so I should cut her some slack, but I just want some personal space :(

I'm finding that poor Aliyah is copping the brunt of my snappy moods lately, and I feel so bad about it....the look she gets on her face if I go off at her for the littlest thing makes me feel like such a cow. I don't think she's acting any more annoying than usual but I just have a shorter fuse these days. I also feel bad because she's so full of energy and wants to play.....I have no energy so really don't feel like doing anything, so it's hard to keep her occupied. We're doing lots of colouring in and watching TV together! When I was pregnant with her I could take a nap whenever (unless I was at work), but now I have to wait for her to go down for her arvo nap......yawn!

Abby has been fine but wants nothing to do with me! If DH is home its all about him and oh dear when we are near nana She hands her over to me to go to the bathroom and the tantrums are soooo bad. Maybe she can sense something going on!

The only trouble i've had is getting up with morning sickness and getting her breakkie and bottle ready before running to the loo to :barf: or if she is already up leaving her in the lounge room blocked off so i can :barf: all the while listening to her whinge and cry just makes me feel so bad!

[jaasssy82]

oohhhh Kizmet you pooor poor thing

Soudsn etxactly the same set up i had a few months ago when i had a bug.... it scares the poor little things doesnt it when mummies making weird noises.....i hvaent chucked yet touch wood... feeling quezzy though..... i though i may need to yesterday and rang to the bath room.. my lil one bed room is near the bathroom... and he is going.. weee weee's mummy..... made me giggle
