Baby Reflexes

September 16, 2012 by heatherss 3 Comments

I dug up some posters I made as part of my Montessori studies. I have a huge one following the physical, emotional and intellectual development of the 0-2 year old which is very interesting. I also had a poster of newborn baby reflexes. Since it is only a matter of time before Nicky loses these … [Read more...]

Week 8: Brrr… It’s been cold..

August 11, 2012 by heatherss 11 Comments

Here in the Southern hemisphere, or "Sunny South Africa", we aren't quite used to the colder weather. Yet this week saw snow fall throughout the country.   Snow in my back yardThe last time snow fell in Joburg was 2007 (correct me if I am wrong). And for us, it isn't quite the white … [Read more...]

Week 7: Like ripping off a plaster

August 4, 2012 by heatherss 6 Comments

Hello bleeps! This week featured two rather unpleasant tasks. For me, resigning my job and for Nicholas, having his injections. Both of these turned out to be not as bad as I had thought, and once the deed was done, rather like ripping off a band-aid, it wasn’t so bad after all. Quitting my … [Read more...]

Week 6: Doctor Visits

July 28, 2012 by heatherss 13 Comments

I can hardly believe my little one is six weeks already! With two doctor visits lined up for the week, the sister at the clinic said we could leave over her visit and the vaccines till week 7, which I’m not looking forward to. In any case on Wed we went off to the gynae. Little Nic was … [Read more...]

Week 5: Latching On and Getting Out

July 22, 2012 by heatherss 10 Comments

This week has been a very good week: 1. I finally have the house to myself. Not that I don’t appreciate mom and mom in law helping out, but it is so good to have my own space again. 2. I finally got a good latch with the breastfeeding and we seem to be getting on the right track. Make no … [Read more...]

The “F” Word

July 13, 2012 by heatherss 6 Comments

First of all, this isn't the "F" word that you think it is. For a new mother preoccupied with feeding her baby it can only be one thing. Formula. Yes, bleeps, I have actually taken the step of using this stuff. I really didn't want to, but out of sheer desperation I crossed that line. It … [Read more...]

Fun times at 2am…

July 4, 2012 by heatherss 11 Comments

My milk supply seems to be running low. It has been starting to happen at night for the past few days and now it is happening in the day too. Poor little Nic Nac is so frustrated. But I think he is a lot smarter than me. It really is taking me some time to learn his cues and figure out what … [Read more...]

First 3 weeks

July 2, 2012 by heatherss 5 Comments

Hi bleeps! I know I haven't updated this blog in a while. I have been very busy with Nicholas. He is at the moment all clean, nappy changed and fed, so should be sleeping for a bit. (I spoke too soon - this post got interrupted. I fed him ( boob 15 min, expressed milk from pumping 80 ml) so he … [Read more...]
