A week in my taitai life
What's a week like in the Jesslyn Irminger household?
- C's back to not eating: I kid you not she shuts her lip so tight I can't even pry it open with a spoon without hurting her. Sure sign of stubbornness then? Oh joy!
- I had mysterious gastric pain all of Tuesday morning and did not sleep a wink from 2-6am. Just as I was dozing off, C gets up at 6.14. Oh fuck!
- Gastric pains turned into lower abdomen and back aches. Small trickle of fresh blood but nothing after. Still no period after 18.5 months. Hmm.
- Took C to a well baby clinic and was informed that she could be investigated for "failure to thrive". While I understand that FTT is a medical term and midwives need to be cautious, it doesn't kill anyone to have better beside manners, does it? Especially when one fucking works with moms & babes! Given more literature on weaning. I made a snide remark that the stupid cow come over to feed C herself!!
- Stress induced migraine. You mean it's only Wednesday?!?
- C still not eating much; managed to sneak in 20g (yes I weigh the amount I feed her) of food in 2x30 min sessions. Do you know how little is 20g?
- Woken up by C at 5am on Thursday. Nice an hour early today. Fought for 45 mins before her morning nap, another 45 mins before her afternoon nap. We had to miss class today.
- Finally Friday, C's still not eating but I managed to scrape and finger feed her 1/5 of an avocado. Tried BLW at night with pumpkin, asparagus and rice - she threw up. Just great!
- Headed out for dinner with Mr. P and some mates thinking it's a respite from this baby business. Guess what awaits? Came home at 12.40am to a sleeping C but not for long. She woke up wailing at 12.45am and would not go down to sleep oh her own. Fought till 2am, at which point I was too fucking tired to care, co-slept.
- Swim class Saturday, lil monster won't nap and was cranky in class. We left early since she won't leave my arms. At HKD 220 per lesson, what a great way to flush money down the drain.
- My day started bright and early today, 5.12am to be exact.
So who wants to swap? Come be a tai tai with a helper, it's so much fun!
