Noah's Daily Routine.

No day is the same:


But it usually has the same pattern. This is an in depth post about what my child gets up to on a daily basis.

The morning starts between 7-10 (This differs on how he slept the night before and what time he went down. This also affects his naps through the day and what time he goes down. So for this post i'll write about this morning. 
This morning Noah woke up at 10am, he didn't really have a great night sleep, neither did mummy and daddy really..

10.00am: Anyway after we got up, he was changed and we played with his toys until he started shouting for his milk. 

10.25am He had his first bottle which was around 5oz. While drinking we sat in bed and watched an episode of Curious George on Netflix.. These only last around 20 Minutes so he can sit in bed, cuddled up while mummy and daddy can sort out clothes for the day and get everything ready. 

10.45 After Curious George had finished, he got dressed into a red long sleeved top with thick wool dungarees and wrapped in a blanket to get into the car.

11.00am We ran some errands which really Noah stayed in the car for so not really interesting. In this time he would usually have a bit more bottle and a little sleep. (Not really a nap as any motion puts him to sleep)

12.20pm and we're home again. More playtime. He sat in his walker while mummy and daddy made lunch for us all, and pulled faces as we walked around.

12.30pm For his lunch today, he gets a baby food jar. I am determined to get him to try a massive variety of flavours. So this afternoon he had a small portion of Heinz Mango Chicken curry with bits for 7 months+. But as he now has started getting teeth, he loves chewing bits. As it was a small portion, I also gave him a Muller light strawberry yogurt. He only had a quarter of this too. 
You may be thinking.. why the hell would we give him a 'grown up yogurt' instead of a baby yogurt like munch bunch or Petit Filous. The main reason.. The sugar!!

Petit Filous (47g) has: 11.2g of sugar per 2 pots whereas:
Muller Light Strawberry bits (175g) has: 7.1g of sugar


See my point? Plus the Muller light pots are bigger, giving more meals! Noah would munch through 2 Petit Filous in one sitting but only a quarter of Muller light!
And to make this situation worse.. Petit Filous have this on their website.. Petits Filous fromage frais provides your child with the goodness of calcium and Vitamin D, which as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle, are critical for strong bones.

It may have this amount of calcium and Vitamin D, but it fails to mention the sugar content. I'll stick to giving Noah the healthy alternative.

Anyway I kind of went off the mark. So going back to Noah's daily routine:

1pm: Playtime. Today this involves his much loved rattle, a small mickey mouse and a massive Christmas pud teddy. Its bigger than his head!! A bum change and a small 2oz of milk.

2pm: Nap time. Cuddled up with mummy in bed. So i got a cheeky hour nap. (When you become a parent, then you'll understand). Mummy's do you agree?

3pm: Wake up, bum change, and more playtime. He really likes to see what me and Chris are doing at the moment. (He even sat through a half hour episode of Eastenders the other day!!). So today he was taking selfies with mummy, checking social media with her and replying to texts and emails. He then watched Daddy on the play station.

5pm: Noah had precious daddy/son time while mummy cleaned. So can't really tell you what happened then... I wasn't there.

7pm: Had 7oz bottle, had another bum change and got dressed for bed. Tonight he is supporting a Daddy's little man sleep suit. I'll give you 2 guesses who picked his pajamas. Then began more playtime. This child loves to play and interact. He hates no noises and he hates when mummy and daddy have a conversation without him. 

9pm: Sat with Grampy watching the darts cuddling up with a bottle and dozing!

9.30pm Fast asleep! I carried him to his bed and he woke up. So I put his musical box on (it's a wind up one which plays a small soft tune) and hes out within a minute.

9.55pm he's started moaning through the monitor, I went to put a dummy in his mouth to see if it settles him back off.

9.57pm He didn't settle.. so he's now on my lap as i type this.

10pm: Hes now puked on me.. Lovely! It stinks!

As I've caught up with time, The next paragraph will be written in a  future tense. 

He'll have another bum change now, a bit more bottle and more playtime. He'll fall asleep for the night about midnight. Wake up once or twice for a bottle, which he has in bed with him or a dummy and he'll go straight back off. To wake up for around 9am, and we'll do it all over again.

So this is Noah's Daily routine. If obviously differs from day to day. We'll usually go out shopping or for lunch or go to the park. He'll have a bath at 7pm, but that's only once every 2 days. Or the worse case scenario, he'll be in a lot of pain and would scream most of the day. But we live as each day comes and what it brings us, and hope each day is as happy as this one.

Living with a Baby who's ill..

Image
It isn't easy.. Full Stop. When I was pregnant, I imagined everything I would do with my little boy. I imagined playing football with him on Sunday mornings, I pictured his face light up a Christmas and I dreamed of him on his first day of school. I didn't picture going back and forth hospitals miles away from our family home, watch him scream in agony as my eyes both drooped from tiredness and from sadness watching the one person you would die for be in pain. I didn't picture stand there watching him having countless cannulars in his tiny hands or tubes down his throat or watch him be sedated with morphine. I stood there and took it, inside I was screaming at the nurses to make him better, I was shouting at the doctors to find a cure and mostly I was crying with sadness and guilt. Guilt that i still carry today.. Did I do something wrong whilst i was pregnant? Did i not take enough prenatal vitamins? Did my own issues interfere with his...

Life through an Angel Mama's Eyes | Guest Harleyinmyheart's personal experience.

Pregnancy loss happens to 1 in every 4 people, this is a shockingly large number for such a taboo subject. We will end the stigma around pregnancy loss. I have my own personal experience with this. I have lost two babies both before the 12 week mark and it does not get any easier. Although myself and plenty of other women are open about it some are still fearing that it is not an easy subject to discuss. At the time of need a woman shouldn't hide away but should get support from a fellow mother and friend.  Our guest today comes from an Instagram page who lives everyday helping women who have been in this position. She works hard to break the stigma, whilst letting the memory of her son Harley live on.  Harleyinmyheart  also known as Miranda shares her personal experience. 'I was 17 when I got pregnant. I had all the symptoms and I decided to take a test on November 6, 2013. I went to take the test at school between classes. My school had this policy that...

You know what.. I'm not okay!

You may have noticed most of my social media I've been quiet, I've stopped posting . I just left!  Usually with this blog I have no motivation to post but I still keep up my social media. This time I just have no words to write, no pictures to share.  At the moment I'm just a shell of a person gliding through life. I still get up and be a mum. I still do what is required of me. But I'm just a walking, talking robot.  Nobody knows why, I don't talk about. I don't want to think about it but it's happening. Something happened in my past that's coming back to haunt me and to be honest I am so scared to be here right now. I scared to leave my house on my own and I'm scared of just thinking. I don't feel safe and I don't feel secure. I don't feel me.. On the outside I'm ok, I paint this picture for my friends and family. I paint such a wonderful picture that I'm doing well and I'm super mum and an amazing best f...

Noah's 2 Year Update | How is my baby 2 already?!

Image
2 Years! Wow have they flown by?! Noah turned 2 on the 14th June. I still cannot fathom it! It felt like 2 minutes ago we were celebrating his birth and now I have a walking talking human that I have created and kept alive for 2 Years! I struggle to keep fish alive this long, but this parenting thing.. I've got down! So what's new? He is still very ill, and we still don't have any ideas! He was put on a dairy free diet a few days after Xmas, we tried this for 6 months with no change. He is still dependent on medication and as he gets older the worse he is getting! He now takes so much medication he could rival an old man!  We discovered he had eczema at 6 months old and that too is getting worse with age. It started with a small patch on his back and now it has spread to his neck, his armpits, the creases in his arms by his elbows, the backs of his legs and all over his thighs and calf's. With a small patch on his belly. This has been just as bad to mai...

Meet Emily.

Image
My Light, My angel, My beautiful daughter.. Emily this week is now 3 Months old and is she is growing so quick. Learning things before I thought was possible and she has the most beautiful smile, that will make a whole room smile back. So what's been happening? She is rolling over, Although my health visitor told me it was impossible before 4 months, she first did it at 8 weeks which was probably a coincidence but has been actively rolling over since 10 weeks old. She currently does belly to back but when she is on her back she will go onto her side as if she was to roll. So rolling both ways is in the near future. I don't have a current up to date weight until this coming Tuesday, as she gets her 3 Months Jabs. But she was last weight at 10 weeks at 10lbs 2oz. So that's a 4lbs weight gain in 10 weeks! Emily is on the 9th Percentile where she has stayed since birth so that's great! She is in size 1 nappies and in Newborn clothes and has 4oz every 4 ho...

What Noah got for Christmas 2015..

Image
First things first..  I started buying for Noah in October! We had a little family holiday to Stoke On Trent to see friends- so we took the opportunity to buy. They had stores such as Smyths.. Which we living in the back of beyond don't have. But what do you buy a 6 month old for Christmas? They wont remember it, and the best part of the day for him would be playing with the wrapping paper.. So I went practical and got him what he need, and a few toys. Noah had more presents than the picture shown but this is what me and Chris bought him.  Before.. .. After This took forever to unwrap with him as he only wanted to tear a little piece at a time! But after 2 hours and a nice Christmas dinner he managed to actually enjoy his presents. So what did we get him? Pictures will be placed below! *Mainly clothes sized 6-9 (although he still fits in 3-6) he has now got clothes to last him until March! This includes: Long sleeve...

Things happen for a reason..

Look for the positives! So not many people knew this, both in my family/close friends and my internet friends but- On the 28th February, Me and Chris found out we would be expecting another baby. Shock was an understatement! We weren't trying or planning and we were being safe.. If you get what I mean.  Anyway my periods had really been messed up after having Noah, I only had 3 in the space of 8 months, so I didn't even know if i was late. The reason we became suspicious was the fact I couldn't eat for a month. I dropped nearly 2 stone and became really weak and tired. I had put it down to catching the flu but it just didn't seem to pass! So with my next Tesco delivery, I ordered a pregnancy test and the day after it came. I did my business and by the time I had finished in the toilet: The result was pretty clear. I started shaking and breaking down! Couldn't understand what was happening. How could I cope with 2 under 2. I nervously brought the test...

The most exciting post!

Well, IM PREGNANT! I know most of everyone who reads this already knows! But as of writing this blog post I am 15 Weeks!  So let's back track and I'll go from the beginning.. 16th August  We got the keys to our new house! We were over the moon and in full swing of moving. We spent more than I like to remember, we spent many hours packing and reminiscing about the time we lived with my father and how we would miss our little simplicities. We were content and excited. 20th August 2 days until we officially move in and become adults. I am now officially 2 weeks late and with the hustle and bustle of moving I hadn't realised. I had an app that would track my next period, as I'm super prepared and always have stuff in. So when I was flicking through my apps I had noticed that I was late. After having Noah my periods were all over the place and we were tracking to see when they went back to normal. FYI.. they still haven't (: I went out shopping that day to b...

It's Your Child!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.. But should it really be said? I read a post on this subject a few weeks back, and it really hit home. When you have a child, everyone feels the need to input their opinion and their life experiences. My friends, My family and  even people I don't even know. It's getting to the point, I would happily bitch slap anyone who voices their own opinion about how to raise my child. My child.. Noah. I have been with him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I know my child, inside and out. His likes and dislikes. His favourite food, teddy and position he is most comfy in. But it doesn't stop people reacting and telling me it should be done a different way.  People in the street, who don't even know Noah or me or my family- Feels its right to tell me i am doing something wrong or it should be done another way. Here are a few examples: *Letting Noah sleep on his belly! People complain and insist it's going to kill h...
