Craig and I have been up most night with our sick puppy Louis (I am sure good training for a baby). He started vomiting last evening and vomited several times during the night. It is heartbreaking to see your puppy ill. I can’t even imagine what it would feel like with a baby.
We took him to the vet this morning and he is now asleep after getting a relaxing injection. I’ll try to feed him a bit at lunch time, see if he can keep anything down. Hopefully he has just eaten something bad and nothing is stuck inside that requires intervention.
I do like the way Craig and I have learnt how to deal with stressful situations together. Our first year in London we didn’t exactly have the communication technique just right and we had a few misunderstandings...Louis has been a big help in learning how to compromise and to understand that another person has other experiences and culture and therefore deal with things different. (The joy of a mixed culture relationship with two stubborn headed people)
As first time parents Craig and I will probably be quite over protective and sometimes anxious and nervous. You can’t help it and you are probably allowed to in the beginning. We’ll try not too but after tonight’s worries I am sure we will be for a while. Craig is much more Australian laid back than I am so I should probably apologies in advance for being a bit first time motherish.
We had lunch with Craig’s family yesterday and they spoke about the theory of leaving the baby for 20 mins when it cries, not making it dependent on your immediate attention (Depending on the situation and that you know it is fine of course).
Maybe it is the way you should do it but honestly I’ll struggle. It is going to be hard just walking up the stairs in the beginning and not rush. I am sure Craig will tell me things are fine and not to worry. I should calm down after a while, hopefully. Even the vet laughed at me the first year we had Louis because I was running to her for the smallest thing. I am better today with him.
Deep breath!
Have fun you all.
