6 Months

Can you believe that my little boy is 6 months? I can't! Damian can roll, has favourite toys (mobile in the cot and his swing), eats all day (if he could), gives me big sloppy kisses, plays with my hair and lots more. Motherhood is the best thing that has happened to me!

Sleep has been our major battle. We went to Karitane and they got me on track and had everything going smoothly until his immunisation this week. Damian's temp went up to 38.9......it was too much for my little boy. Apart from giving him 4 baths in one day, we just lay on the bed next to each other reading and talking. Yesterday he was back to his normal self and when I went to put him in his cot for sleep, he screamed the house down. Damian wanted to sleep with me but I had to be strong and I know that he will cry at sleep time for the next couple of days but I have to do it. The issue to hand is that I would LOVE to sleep with him but when he starts childcare in March, they surely won't be doing it which would just break my heart and it will make it far more traumatic then it has to be. Oh this is so hard. Who would have thought that sleep would be so difficult.

I am also still breastfeeding. For someone who thought that there was no way I could EVER breastfeed, I am loving it. Damian loves it and that is all that counts. I have to start giving him formula during the day and breast only in the morning and night. Oh and I now officially have nana boobs! Saggers.........gone are the plump and perky boobs, much to DH's dissappointment. All for a good cause I say!

The photo above was taken about 3 weeks ago and is my favourite!

Just a quick message to my cyber buddy BUGSY, I am rooting for you girl!
