of sleep is what Tycho had last night! Well at one point he woke up but went back to sleep as soon as Steve went upstairs and put his music box on. Hopefully he will start sleeping through the nights once again. He now has got two teeth in his bottom jaw, but I think one is on it’s way in the upper one too as he has been having teething pains all of today, but atleast it doesn’t keep him awake at night any longer.

Sleep deprived and Guilt
15th November 2009 by Hellie
One thing I have learnt about being a parent is whatever you do you will feel guilty.Guilty about weaning too early or too late. Guilty about not being able to get your child to sleep through the night. Guilty about letting them sleep in your bed. Guilty about taking your child along to a restaurant and making the other guests hear him screaming. Guilty about not being able to breastfeed. Guilty about breastfeeding for too long, guilty about nursing him to sleep and the list goes on and on. The funny thing is that us people don’t tend to tell each other things like “oh you shouldn’t be eating that” or “go home you shouldn’t be out at this hour, these things seems to be reserved for your mother to tell you. But when you have a child it seems like people you just met feel they have a right to tell you off for doing things wrong. (more…)
More piggy flu and rest
2nd November 2009 by Hellie
Went to see the Neuro last week. It was all good, he was very pleased to see that I am doing so well. I have now gone two years without a relapse! He said that I should wait with going on any drugs for now, but go for it if I get worse. He said whatever I am doing, I should keep on doing it. I told him I had big fears about fatigue before I had Tycho, but even though I sleep far less than I used to, I am less fatigued than before him. I put this down to laying down with him when he naps and when he goes to sleep. Even if I don’t sleep I get a rest. A rest that you don’t get at work. Well saying that, in my old office I used to go and lay down on a sofa or in a rest room if it got really bad. I actually think most offices could do with a rest room, or a simple sofa to have a rest on in your lunch break. Not only for people with MS. A friend of mine had to take naps during breaks at work during her pregnancy to get through the days. (more…)
Nearly 3 weeks
12th May 2009 by Hellie
Tomorrow Tycho will be 3 weeks old. Time is moving fast, but on the other hand it feels like this has been our life for a long time. We are getting a little more sleep, maybe manage 4-5 hours a night, not all in one go ofcourse but between feedings. He has started putting some weight on, so we are still doing the formula feed at 10 pm, then I normally go to bed and Steve stays up with Tycho, until he falls asleep and then take him upstairs, then I do night service.

Hellie vs Milk Vampire round 2
6th May 2009 by Hellie
So 3 nights in a row now we have given in to giving Tycho formula at 10 pm. The midwife was getting worried about my health from getting no sleep what so ever, plus the fact that Tycho was still loosing weight. Now we do get a little more sleep and Tycho has put on 30 grams, so I guess this is ok. But I actually felt awful giving him the formula the first time. It felt like I couldn’t do anything right.
