I went to visit my friend and her newborn twins this week. They were born at 36 weeks and my poor friend ended up with one via forceps and one via c-section, worst of both worlds. She's doing really well though and so are the babies, who are both fully breastfed and back up to their birthweight. When I arrived she was in the garden bringing in the washing and pottering about and through the baby monitor I could hear both the twins crying hysterically. Still, even now, newborns crying really just gets to me. It just caught me a little off guard and my face must have shown it. I saw my friend at the breastfeeding group a few days later and she made a comment about me thinking she was a really bad mother letting her babies cry. I feel terrible now that she thinks that I was being judgemental, I only met her after I had Kira and although I told her a little about Bella I don't think she understands at all. I wish I could explain it to her but I don't even have the words to explain that horrible knot it makes in your stomach. Then we went to the supermarket and there was a tiny tiny baby screaming there too, ak! Will I be this oversensitive around babies forever?
Today has been a lovely day though, DH was off work and it was raining and we have no money to go anywhere anyway we chilled out with Kira all day and managed to watch a little bit of a new series called Breaking Bad while she slept. It's rather good if you like drama along the lines of Dexter or Six Foot Under, I'm in love and can't wait to watch the rest! Kira has been in a lovely happy mood all day and had a bit of a monch on a strawberry earlier. I've been holding out for weaning at 6 months but she wanted to try it so bad I couldn't resist! Also managed to finish painting the bathroom floor now just gotta get some wallpaper up and it will almost look like a real bathroom lol!
This vid cheered me up too :D
I am glad the twins and the mom are doing great.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand crying babies either. It makes me very emotional.
Good job on getting the bathroom ready. I don't like Dexter, but I will check out the serial you are speaking of.
Take Care!
Making new friends is hard isn't it? I've only one new friend made since Florence was born, and she doesn't understand,but she does respect how things might be different for me.I find it really odd and kinda comforting spending time with someone who didn't know me before.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see pics of the bathroom. x
there was someone in Mothercare the other month when i was in there with my mum, and she let her baby scream the entire time she was in there. baby was too young to be trying it on. i had to physically keep holding back my own arms and constantly tell myself that it wasn't my business, that i couldn't go and pick up the poor kid, but it was so.damned.difficult. it felt physically painful to hear those cries and not be able to do anything about them.
