'm alright today- felt better felt worse! Done the housework and went to the library this afternoon adn chose some more books for Chloe. She's now developed a fascination with the tv which I know is dangerous but it's good for getting this done. She noramlly cries a bit during tea but watched deal or no deal whilst she ate and hardly grumbled once! Good old Noel Edmonds! Hoping for an ealry night tonight - my hubby's off work tomroow and fri and we've got to go and get a new car as his was written off when parked outside the house. Hate car hunting and salesmen - find it v stressful!

Car hunting went ok - Mark's going back this morning to sort out the paper work. Felt quite good yesterday - we were out of the house for much of the day which was good for me and I felt in quite a good mood for most of the day. Feel really sick and unwel ths morning though - feel dizzy too - dont think it's PNI - think it's some sort of bug as I also fel really hot. Going to take it easy today as if I dont I think I'll be sick! Chloe's really going off her milk. Struggling to get the 20 oz a day down her so making it up with petit filous which she loves. Going to buy a bit of nesqick choccy milk powder later and see if that makes her like it better.

Have I created a monster? ? I've noticed with CHloe that she's very vocal and grumbly and tells everyone very loudly when she doesnt like something or something upsets her. She really squirms a lot and shouts when there's anything slightly the matter. Other babies dont seem to do this. My Unlce came over this afternoon with his little boy who is 2 days younger than Chloe and she kept squirming in my arms and grizzling and shoulting. Dont think she likes being in small rooms with lots of people although she seems fine at the baby group I go to. Also, she really complains a lot when feeding and gets food EVERYWHERE and I mean EVERYWHERE - she's a real messy eater whereas other babies seem to sit there quite happily to be fed. I wonder if I have made her like this. I hardly ever leave her to grumble and comforft her immediately and I wonder if she has picked up on my anxiety. Probably just being paranoid but I do worry that she's over sensitive. When she was younger I was sometimes doing 3 or 4 nappies an hour as she would really cry every time she did a wee - other women would tell me they only did 1 nappy every hour or so. She's a little less sensitive now although we do seem to get through a lot of nappies!!!!! Other women dont seem to get phased if their babies cry but I get really anxious, especially in public. I used to get really bad cold sweats but hat's not as bad now.

Hi Marion, There are some things here that you describe that remind me so much of my first (My daughter)! My daughter (unlike my son - who I had severe PNI with) was a REAL squirmer. Used to go to NCT meet ups - their babies would sit nicely on their laps - as for my daughter - no chance!! It was a nightmare and I actually started avoiding these meetings because she was so squirmy and noisey!! Also, around the multiple nappies per hour - I had the same experience with my daughter...even a little wee as a baby and she HAD to be changed !! Whereas my son has never bothered at all and if it wasn't for me checking on him, he'd wear the same nappy all day - LOL!!! And as for the crying in public, I haven't coped with it with either, at all well. I panic and get upset as I hate the thought of others having this noise inflicted on them... Anyway, rememeber it's probably just the way your baby is - my two have been SO different - it's quite amazing really! My second who I had PNI with could not be more laid back! My daughter is absolutely gorgeous now and is no trouble at all at 5! Don't worry Love HopefulXX

Hi Hannah I'm ok - I've sent you a message.
Quite a good day today except for Chloe's tea time - got all anxious again as she wouldnt eat her dinner but if she wakes up hungry then she wakes up hungry! As Mark tells me I have to stop making such a big deal about food as otherwise she'll pick up on it as she gets older. I've always had problems with food myself from periods in my life where I barely ate and was thin(and would do anything to stay thin eventhough I was convinced I was fat and ocmpletely obsessed with my weigth. I would weigh myself at different times in the day and panic if I;d put on anything through out the day). I;m now overweight but although I do find it upsetting I cant deal with that at the moment and find myself eating far too much. I dpont want Chloe to be obseessed with her weight like I am. Anyway - had a good day really - watched the new Harry Potter film this afternoon which I enjoyed - found it hard to concentrate though as I cant watch things for long periods of time. Had my driving lesson this morning and my instructor says I can put in for my test which is good although that will give another thing to get anxious about!!!!!!! Cant wait to pass - going to buy myself a little car so me and Chloe will have some freedom. Feel very trapped and resticted being dependant on the bus. Mark is just putting Chloe to bed so time for a much needed glass of wine.

Had quite a good day today although we've still got tea to get through! Chloe had got me a card and had written it herself (well held the pen whilst MArk wrote it) and we went to the garden centre and Chloe bought me a rhubarb and blackcurrent bush. Started my period today - on a 26 day cycle this month which means my bad patch came on days 14/15/16ish of the cycle.

Good luck with your driving test - its a big step getting a driving license I know its very stressful but it makes such a difference to your life - Freedom is what it meant to me!! How are things otherwise? How are you feeling?I was interested in what you said about food - I have never really had a thing about food for myself - I am overweight now myself too but this is due to my not being able to get around much - but Caja when small just would not eat and it did cause me some anxiety - but someone said to me that: 'no child ever starved them selves to death if food is offered and available' and told me not to worry as she would eat when she wanted to eat and it would not help to get anxious about it . I know this is a lot easier said than done but I did pretty much follow this advice and now Caja is a 17 year old who has absolutely no problems with food - she has a healthy appetite and will eat almost anything but she is sensible too and unlike many of her friends is not at all overweight either. So yes I think you are right 'if she wakes up hungry , she wakes up hungry' veriteeXX PS I've never heard of a rhubarb and blackcurrant bush?

Meant rhubarb and blackcurrent busheES!!!!! Silly me!!!! Generally doing much better on the whole except for the dreaded week or so in the middle of the month when I'm putting it down to severe pmt. This is still a very scary time for me when I bring back old memories/feel VERY low/unwell/feel like doing stupid things but this month (allthough bad) was not nearly as bad as last month so am hoping I'm over the worst of it althoguh I wont be surprised if I'm worse again. Am using natural progesteone cream and dont know wether this is helping or it's the higher anti d dose I'm onwhich has made the difference. Went through a period of needed sleeping tablets to sleep again although havent done for the last week and havent needed my lorazapam for a while either which is good. Just hope I continue on the up. Have booked my driving test for the end of the month when I seem to be better so should be able to deal with the extra anxiety. Chloe didnt want her tea again but she slept through last night so, although I got anxious earlier, I'm trying not to worry bout it too much. Seeing my CPN tomorrow. Not too worried bout talking bout stuff - mainly worried aboput what I'll do with Chloe. I'm hoping she'll want a nap around about the time he comes but knowing my luck she'll pick that time to be awkward!!!!!!!

Tired today. Didnt sleep well. Took me ages to get off and when I finally did Chloe woke us up at 12 screaming the house down for a bottle. Left baby group early as she was really squiring and shouting. She's having a nap at the mo. Got the CPN coming at 3 so hopefully she'll wake up from this nap at about 11.30 ish and then I can get her to have another at about 2.50 - or that;s the plan anyway. Feel a bit anxious today.

Hi
all the best with your driving test. I love the independence of driving partiuclarly as where I live if you want anything you have to go to the surrounding towns and most of my friends live a 20 min car drive away.
Hope you catch up your sleep. For me nowadays (post PNI ish) I find that lack of sleep quickly gets to me physically and emotionally at least more so than pre PNI.
Just read you post re your daughter where you asked 'have I createed a monster?' Don't worry, all kids are different. Both of mine are right squirmers. My babe (21mths) is having huge tantrums adn to me worse than any other kid his age. He's also really noisy and very quick to voice his disapproval. I thimk some kids now what they want earlier than others and also find it harder to learn to be patient. Sayingthat, I find that they're both very vibrant adn energetic adn I love that in them. I'm sure your daughter's the same.
Lvoe
Monica
