My little munchkin above is capable of stressing me out to the point that Tee no longer recognises her own mother. I have metamorphosised into a flaming dragon in heat who’s just lost her King, not to another female dragon but to a….to a…..dirty pig! What does He want with a pig? She has no fire? She cannot fly?
You see the way T2 looks at the camera? At 6 months, she already knows how to tantalise the world with her charm. And being such a good girl most days, little do people know that she can herself turn into an extremely fierce baby dragon at night. When she wants to. She is fiercer than Tee ever was, but much, much sweeter. Isn’t that worse? I usually stay away from those types much preferring people whom are open book and direct.
But that isn’t what’s stressing me out. What is stressing me out is that she has started solids for a month and a half now. She loves…….her food and can eat up to 250ml worth of solids be it pureed fruit or baby cereal. Yet, she has only gained 100 grams in a month as opposed to 1000. There is clearly something wrong with her absorption of nutrients but we only see the Doctor next week so as it stands, Mommy is having sleepless nights (plus baby T2 has a flu and is coughing like crazy which gives HER sleepless nights) worrying herself silly. I am stressed out. I have tried not being stressed out. And I’m usually one who can take a lot of stress. But this time round, my hands are up. I’m surrendering to the fact that I am no longer in control of this. It is making me very, very sad.
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
T2 is indeed very very pretty and sweet! Best allay your worries with a sooner than later trip to the paed. Perhaps she is just slower in gaining weight but will play catch up later.
Yes, she looks beautiful there, and I’m sure she has a charming personality to match :-). Maybe she’s just on the small side? As long as she’s developing well on other areas, I won;t worry too much :-). You take care of yourself too.
hey, maybe she has a higher metabolism rate for a baby. pray that it’s only that and nothing else. my no.2 eats more than my no. 1 as a baby but weight gain seems slower.
btw, for someone who’s stressed out, u still look good and ur skin is flawless! *envy* (of ur skin that is!)
this baby…oooo….she has got cunning eyes!
t2 looks perfectly fine to me.
hmmm maybe ur weighing machine at home SPOIL already..how can it be so detailed to 100grams? u use the food weighing machine ar…
Amelie is in the same boat 🙁 She dropped from 25th percentile to 5th percentile 🙁 Paed recommends a high calorie formula e.g. Pediasure? Our appointment to follow up is this Sat…*sighz*
She really looks like you!
She’s a darling. I love the photo of the both of you. Try not to stress so hard. Is she developing normally? If so then you probably shouldn’t worry so much about the weight. It’s true she may just be on the small side or have a high metabolism. My friend had a similar issue but her ped. was the one who stressed her out telling her to give her son more high calorie foods because he was so low on the chart. I think the ped. did not take genetics into account. She and her husband were small statured and very slim people. So why should the baby be on the high end of the chart…you know…OKay I am done rambling 🙂
Just try to not stress so much.
