Transcripts
[Music]
good morning I found hope you are all
having a fabulous day today I'm just
getting myself and Jace ready for the
day because we've got some visitors
coming round to meet him and have a
catch up with me which I'm really
excited about and then a little bit
later on ice a little bit later on any
time between 4 and 10 p.m. we have the
Midwife come in to weigh him and I'm
really really hoping his gaining weight
and thriving I think any breastfeeding
mom will agree that there's nothing more
satisfying than when a midwife comes and
weighs him and your baby's gaining
weight and you know that's because
you're feeding him and it's all going
well after the struggles of
breastfeeding over the last few days
I really hope in that and that is gained
way and it gives me a little bit of a
boost because you definitely worry way
too much I worry way too much about how
much is getting and how much goodness is
getting etc etc anyway he's fast asleep
right now and is just such hair so I'm
going to grab myself really quickly
something to eat before everyone gets
here I'm not having the best that's the
day today guys I've literally just spent
the first couple of hours after the
school run reorganizing and sorting out
our garage because that is the place for
everything that we don't want to see get
as a dumped literally that is just like
let's put it in the garage and we'll
forget about it for six months and then
all of a sudden there's like before we
go out of stuff and that's like a full
full double garage of stuff that needs
sorting through itself literally just
spent all morning this morning going
through loads of stuff and sorting out
the garage I got extremely murky just
come inside
I've just had a shower just got out of
the shower and got ready for the day and
my I don't know what is going on guys
but my razors literally eating me alive
the state of my face and neck so you
gotta support with this today nice
anyway so a little while ago you guys
might remember me going into lead on a
little secret mission before Jase was
born to get Sarah a little something
something to give her when she gave
birth now I actually found the perfect
gift the perfect gift best in the whole
kind of heat of the moment
and the excitement of the birth and the
labor and everything I completely forgot
to give her it I literally put the gift
in my camera bag ready so that I
definitely wouldn't forget it as we're
rushing out the house in the middle of
the night or whatever we were doing or
wouldn't forget the present it was there
and then when were at the hospital I
even saw it in my bag but I just didn't
like I'd even saw it in my back when I
was getting my cameras out and setting
up in the room I saw the gift there so I
knew it was there but then when Jace was
out and it was all just super happy and
lovely completely forgot to give her it
and we came home and I just forgot about
it I even forgot about it until last
night when I was going through my camera
bag to get on my camera started out and
it was in the bottom of my camera bag
and I was like oh my goodness I didn't
even give her her special present so
when she gets out of the shower in a
minute I'm gonna sit down and surprise
her okay baby
so I made a massive boo-boo like a week
ago yesterday a week ago yesterday I
made a boo-boo right because in the run
up to little wrong low being here a
little roller being here I went and did
something which was supposed to be a
surprise when you'd given birth but I
was too excited I got lost in the moment
I totally forgot about it and it never
happened and I just found it in my bag
like last night
I didn't remember about it no it is good
no it is good it is good he's good but
you were supposed to get it when this
little roller came out a week ago but I
totally forgot and I feel really good
about that because it would have been
really special but I mean it was special
anyway but you know I mean it would have
been really special so anyway surprise
[Music]
you can't open kid zero know he's gonna
get rowdy
yeah and that's what I'm talking about I
don't know I don't know how I did I just
don't know I put it I put it in my
camera bag so that I would definitely
have it with me when you gave birth and
I forgot to give you there's a 29th
there's a boy in a 20-19 as well I
thought it was so nice because I didn't
give you it a boy and I chose all the
bits specifically like the little
Stoppers I chose it all myself and then
I ended up not giving you it one idiot
like I spent loads of time researching
and stuff and going and getting and blah
blah and you know I love it so much
because of the end and the rose gold on
it as well that's so pretty
cinemas ok might be difficult with a
camera you know okay I'm gonna put you
down guys for two seconds that is really
really pretty I love it I'm just gonna
keep it exactly like this yeah special
occasion Valentine's Day trouble this
one I'm not anything else
no I very welcome disgusted I didn't
give it you it like a week ago and I
gotta leave you've got a present like
this I forgot my friends have just been
guys two of our bestest friends and they
literally all my friends know me so well
if you watched yesterday's video you'll
see that Nicki came we should brought me
two bottles of Palmer viola
cider yes like you know when you bring a
baby gift my friends have just been two
of my best friends I've got rhubarb and
custard cider my friend I know for
someone who doesn't drink like ever
laughs yeah I don't quite a random
present the best thing is look how
beautiful you know when you get baby
bags you always see such pretty ones for
girls like unicorns and all sorts of
really nice ones and then the boy ones
are usually
really like just blue and not really
special look how gorgeous this bug is
welcome to the universe little boy yes
lovely and it's so pretty out to frame
it frame it it's so nice just on the
side okay really and an outfit and a toy
for Jace obviously
oh no Rolo you lasted just enough time
man oh I think he wants to go back on
the feed Oh No
so my two friends just left and so did
the Midwife and it's left me in not a
great mood so the Midwife came around
today to weigh Jace and make sure he was
gaining weight and that his jaundice
were on the way out etc etc and so so so
gutted because he's lost weight again
and he's gone down to seven pound five I
think she said so he was born at eight
pound one just for anybody that doesn't
know went down to seven pounds seven and
then went up to seven pound ten I think
that was on Monday I think that was on
Monday when the Midwife came out and now
today which is Thursday he's gone back
down to seven point five which I can't
even tell you how disheartening it is
when you're breastfeeding and you feel
like you're literally killing yourself
breastfeeding as well because it's so
unbelievably painful but you're pushing
through because you want to do it and
then they tell you that he's not gaining
weight and I'm actually terrified
they're coming back tomorrow to weigh
him again and they said hopefully he's
put on a bit of weight then but I'm
really worried that in case he hasn't
they're going to tell me to start
topping up with formula because I really
really don't want to do that
and I know fed is best and if breast
feeding doesn't work you don't want your
baby to suffer and of course I don't
want him to suffer but he's just so
content and I can't see how he's
starving like he's sleeping so so well
this is him right now he has just had a
feed but he's he goes like three hours
with an without enough so then that for
three hours two to three hours during
the day and in the nighttime he's going
for hours last night
was such a good night he went to sleep
1/2 11:00 he woke up at 4 and then 8
which is amazing and we're not waking
him up during the night I know that the
health visitor said to wake him every
three hours for a feed through the night
just we've not been waking him up but I
might have to start waking him up
through the night if he's not gaining
weight because obviously my priority is
for him to be gaining weight
yeah I'm just feeling really bummed
today really just disheartened at the
fact that I thought he would have gained
and he hasn't he's lost and it's just
really not a nice feeling I'm really
really really worried that it's because
I'm using the brush shields and maybe
they're not as effective or they're not
letting him feed as effectively I am
which makes me feel so guilty for using
them but the pain is just unbearable
without them so it's kind of a no-win
situation the only thing I'm thinking
that I just thought about right now and
it didn't think about and while she was
here was the previous two ways that his
hat has been on our marble table and the
scales had been on the marble table and
when she went in today it was on our
carpet and we've got really really
really thick carpets so I'm just
wondering if maybe that's had an effect
on the scales but I don't know so Little
Miss eyelid just got home from school
and you're about to leave us again right
why cuz I've got a ballet practice exam
you have so Iowa's got a ballet exam
coming up and she's got a few practice
lessons to make sure she's definitely up
to scratch and ready that's a lot of
bali bali you've got a do man are you
ready for this yeah yeah so granny's
granny's just come over to take i let
her dance and I've got to go pick Isobel
up in a minute and then she's gonna be
coming home with you to mine because
she's got dancing tonight too
did you have a fun day at school today
yeah did you get to show your pictures
yeah space pictures no man so I Allah
took in some space pictures and some
pictures of Jacy other day she's been to
do her show-and-tell about Jase but
she's been waiting to do a show-and-tell
about her time at NASA in Florida it's
not happened yet has it man no hopefully
tomorrow yeah no weather today a second
a turn for the worst it is free
in literally first we plummeted right
back into the depths of winters today
and win - anyway service found the best
excuse ever to eat flapjack that she
could ever afford so she's obviously
worried right now after the Midwife
visit today that her milks not producing
enough protein or calories for the
babies so one thing she's got to eat
which is really really good at promoting
good breast milk production is oats the
flapjack is full of that so I'm on a
mission to find a super flapjack and now
I'm also under strict instructions
tonight not to come back to the house
without some bobbins and some custard
creams which is about animes favorite
right now tonight we're going for
something nice and easy we're going for
chicken Kiev's which everybody loves
everybody loves especially the girls
along with some mash and some pyro
guests as well because I'm garlic
together is supposed to help breast milk
production massively so that's all good
right although I didn't find any
flapjack in there so I'm probably enough
to go to another shop but right now I
need to go pick up Esme from school
because she's stayed late at school
today she's had a school disco which is
really cool she was really excited about
that this morning getting to party with
her friends and they get some money to
go to the top shop and buy her sweets
and a drink and things like that

thing ever so I imagine I'm going to
pick up a very very excited Esme right
