Re: Could I have a high needs baby?

Hi Audrey! I've been reading your blog for over 4 years now (since 2011 I think!) but this is the first time I'm posting a comment. (I'm shy!) I've been watching you grow from getting married and having Fighter and now Penny and I always discuss with my husband about yours' and Tim's life. (He now knows both of you on 'first-name' terms whenever I mention you guys. :P) I just gave birth the start of this year (Jan 2015) to a (what I also think is a) high needs baby girl. She was bladder and tummy thumping while in me and the minute she was born, hated to be swaddled and put down. She hated napping too until I had to let her fall asleep at the breast (I wouldn't move for 2 hours at a time just to let her nap - I had pins and needles all the time. :S). She needed (and still needs) to be carried every single moment of the day when awake, and not just carried, but walked around too. I now have de-Quervain's syndrome on my wrist thanks to her! My parents-in-law and my parents think I spoil her rotten because she fusses almost all the time and needs to be on-the-move constantly. If the person carrying her sits down, she arches her back and yells and shouts like crazy. Once we're up walking about, she's super happy and cheerful because she loves seeing new things from a higher height. (No wonder I'm way below pre-pregnancy weight now. Great way to lose weight. :S) And even though she's now 7 months and a lot heavier now, she still demands to be carried or picked up all the time. (I can't wait till she starts walking by herself!!). Every single baby thing we bought her (her ridiculously expensive stroller, car seat, baby sling etc) she refuses, except arms (which are free -___-'). Even toys are ignored, she'd rather play with adult things. Like pens, and paper and tissue. :S Anyway I just wanted to comment and let you know that you're not alone. I thought I had the fussiest baby in the world but it took a while for me to realize that high-needs babies just need lots of cuddles and love and attention. I think Penny needs that too! You're doing a great job looking after Penny and Fighter so don't give up! Take care and God Bless! x x

there's no such thing as too many shoes! OR bags for that matter!

and i love your style mydear. you have the right body type/shape to pull off so many looks and not look out of place. i feel like i'm out of proportion! :( lol plus the boyfriend complains that what i wear is too revealing... :(

hey babe! :) i'd love to know how much she spends shopping (and where she gets all that money!) but i'd probably cringe at the prices. :S You're sooo petite! wow. No wonder you can pull off so many styles! I've got like, bits and bobs sticking out of me. (you know, the usual girl curves.) which my mum hates to see me flaunt to the world. she always says my tops are too low and my skirts are too high. :S
