Spawn of Satan

Spawn of Satan


2:30am wake.
The crying began, this was normal so far. I changed her, made up a bottle and knew I'd soon be back in bed sleeping until the next feed.
WRONG!
She stayed awake, crying, crying, screaming, crying, dozing, waking, crying.
Dear god it was hell.
This was the first time of, hopefully, NOT many!
My eyes were so heavy, I scoured Ebay looking for those magic matchsticks that other Mum's surely use to stay awake! No luck, they must be sold out!
What was wrong? I tried winding her, it's like a game of Where's Wally but instead Where's Windy! There must be some in there somewhere, I pat her back, rub her back up and down, clockwise, anti-clockwise. There was no ease for her. I felt bad, I am Mummy, I should know what is wrong and be able to help her be happy, content and relaxed, my poor baby.

Hours ticked by to no avail!

Maybe she is a Devil Baby!!! Her horns are sprouting, her fangs will be coming through and her tail growing, that's why she is crying!!! All she will be missing by the end of this crying is a pitch fork!

The crying stops - thank you! 30 minutes passes with me climbing back into bed and sealing my eyes shut. Then it begins again. This crying continued until the next evening with only a few breaks in between.
What was wrong? You tell me!

Then to add to my spawn of Satan's evilness she cries whenever I eat. Yes, the secret to how I have lost all of my baby weight plus some! Whenever I get food, be it a snack or full blown meal, she cries. She takes after her Daddy, if I get myself food and not them then I have two crying babies! So it's easier to never snack and make portions small enough to shovel in before her crying smashes my plate!

My Mum and Dad thought I was exaggerating until they witnessed it for themselves around at their house for tea one day. Mum plated up the dinner half an hour after babies bottle and she had fallen asleep - hey presto - the baby awakens from her milk coma! She seems to just sniff it out! Maybe she has been observing my dogs too much!!

Don't get me wrong she is a very good baby majority of the time, she usually feeds and sleeps and giggles, except for the part where I eat. But these Devil days do appear every now and again! Those days I have to dress her in things with motto's on - "Mummy and Daddy Love Me" "I'm a Princess" just to remind me in my time of desperation!

Love you Munchkin!

Jab Day

Jab Day The day all mum's dread - jab day! The thought of our tiny person being jabbed and hurt is not something we want our precious bundle of joy to go through, but is necessary to keep them well and healthy.  One day she will understand - actually, no she won't because thankfully she won't remember these first few doses of pain.  I wasn't too worried about taking her for them, me and needles don't mind each other and I feel if I keep the same attitude around her when she receives them then hopefully she will grow up with the same view. First appointment of the day is our six week check up, which is actually at eight weeks (?) and I lug her up the stairs in her car seat to the doctors room. The rate she is growing I won't be able to lift her in it soon!!! I need to start doing some bicep curls (with a glass of wine of course).  The doctor was certainly a character and liked to get to point. Dr - "Does she eat, sleep, see and hear?...

Party Girl

Party Girl My Gran's birthday party, I had been looking forward to it so much and it didn't fail to be a fantastic evening! With so many family members there and half of which Mia had not met yet. I dressed her in a beautiful pink and blue dress ready to impress. Me and Jamie didn't really need to worry about what we wore because everyone would be looking at her.  From the moment we arrived she was cradled by loving relatives. The smiles she brings to the faces of the people I love was beautiful, I felt so proud and lucky.  Before I knew it I had a list of people requesting they get the next cuddle with our daughter. "Come over to us next, we want a cuddle?" There I was getting ready for my cuddles, but each time they meant my daughter! She was hogging all the attention!!! Where the heck are my cuddles!!!!  Ha - only kidding! From one relative to the next my baby was going from person to person like 'pass the parcel' but she was loving...

Twinkle Twinkle

Twinkle Twinkle Gazing at the ceiling in a complete trance, my baby was staring at nothing - as you do... I waved my hand above her face, clicking my fingers to get her attention, what on earth was so fascinating?! The lights! She was staring long and hard at the lights! I did the same and then all I could see was spots, she was going to blind herself!!! Okay, a bit exagerrated but if I carried on looking too I sure as hell was going to go blind or get a migraine! This new fascination kept her very quiet. What's the true meaning of quiet you ask? I hadn't known either until I witnessed a countless number of hours of continuous screaming, now I know the true meaning of peace/silence/quiet. It's when your baby finally stops crying and you mistake the moment for becoming deaf. You start tapping hollow objects just to be sure you can actually still hear and your baby hasn't permanently damaged your ear drums. That's the true meaning of quiet when you become a mum. We we...
