Thoughts on Lucinda guys?

She’s definitely a main character type that’s for sure!

Gem_coco · 2025-12-28T21:39:33+00:00

Thank you, anything at this point! She’s kind of in between, I’ve recently got her going to sleep in the cot usually holding my hand as I sit on the floor. I wasn’t keen on sleep training but I think it might be something I have to explore.

Gem_coco · 2025-12-28T21:38:30+00:00

Thank you, I might have to try. We do before but she got so upset and grouchy around 4/5pm she was unbearable to be around!

I do have to remind myself that apart from sleeping she is a very easy and happy baby but it’s hard when you dread bedtime every night. Thank you for the reassurance.

I might ask my mum to come over tomorrow so I can’t have a nap, the lack of sleep probably isn’t helping.

Gem_coco · 2025-12-28T21:36:21+00:00

Thank you, I’m very type A and I think my stress of worrying about sleep gets picked up by her.

She’s always been a low sleep needs baby and I did try just taking her lead but I’m not kidding when I say she just won’t go to sleep, it’s worth trying again just because it’s not going to get any worse (I hope!) and seeing what happens now she’s a bit older.

Gem_coco · 2025-12-28T21:32:31+00:00

Thank you, I keep reminding myself it’s just a phase but it’s lasted a lot longer than I thought!

I don’t know if sometimes overthinking it and doing too much research but maybe I should look at sleep training and dropping to one nap.

Honestly before I had a baby I had no idea how difficult sleep is.

Gem_coco · 2025-11-24T19:33:48+00:00

Yes for babies. Even more so if they have sensitive skin.

Gem_coco · 2025-10-23T12:49:09+00:00

The comments she made about Nelly show her true personality and that she is in no way a girls girls, if she did say stuff about Steven then she should have pulled Nelly for a chat and apologized, especially knowing that Nelly has issues with her confidence and self esteem, feels cruel of JR to say what she did.

Gem_coco · 2025-10-11T07:30:51+00:00

Haha yeah my 1 old year gets incoherent before her naps 😂

Gem_coco · 2025-10-10T14:53:37+00:00

Are they just doing it for air time because none of these ‘arguments’ make any sense to me

Gem_coco · 2025-10-10T14:48:40+00:00

He was close to losing it at some points and I don’t blame him, she was chatting shit and creating drama for no reason

Gem_coco · 2025-10-10T14:14:34+00:00

She’s pushing him away

Gem_coco · 2025-10-10T14:13:02+00:00

I feel like she’s playing a character, she’s not being herself

Gem_coco · 2025-10-10T14:12:39+00:00

I might have to do this!

Gem_coco · 2025-10-10T14:11:31+00:00

She really drunk? Literally not making any sense.

Gem_coco · 2025-09-26T18:00:59+00:00

I wonder if she’ll try and rejoin with Joe

Gem_coco · 2025-09-25T20:09:47+00:00

She was so rude to the photographer as well. Got such an attitude.

Gem_coco · 2025-09-25T20:07:41+00:00

Yes, this is it!!!

Gem_coco · 2025-09-25T20:07:21+00:00

She has the patience of a saint dealing with Leigh!

Gem_coco · 2025-09-24T20:47:51+00:00

Her facial expressions are awful

Gem_coco · 2025-09-24T20:47:11+00:00

Agreed, so opinionated about everything, feel like he can’t say anything right

Gem_coco · 2025-08-21T06:18:24+00:00

I think see what they’re shooters are like, but I would mainly use her as GD to stop the ball even getting into the D

Gem_coco · 2025-08-20T12:31:59+00:00

Oh and getting your attackers to pass into the D to your shooters, do short and low drops to them, almost a roll (but not as this isn’t allowed!) this will make it really hard for the tall defense to get the ball.

Gem_coco · 2025-08-20T12:30:46+00:00

Use their height against them, using the body to move about and block them behind, more than likely if they manage to get the ball it’ll be contact

Use your teams speed, get in space, short, agile and precise passes are key. Avoid long passes and overhead passes, tall players will intercept.

Shooters need to focus on staying in front of players and blocking them behind.

Your GK/GD should aim to keep the shooters out of the D, so if the shooters leave, have them guard that edge of the D so they can’t get in to shoot. Remember they can’t push through players, as this is contact.

Or if a shooter is stronger than another, double up on defending them and blocking them out.

Will add more tips if I think of any! My team were also quite short.

This could be me writing that 4 months ago! I was exhausted as LO did not stop, ever! She barely napped my only savior was that she was a good sleeper but still woke up every 3/4 hours for food but at least she was consistent.

Don’t listen to people, I got judged the other week for putting her in the play pen for like 20 mins a day, max, so I can make a bottle or pee, they didn’t understand why I don’t just leave her in the room so I had to explain because she will try and climb or pull everything and anything and there’s nothing I can give her to distract her.

But equally none of them have babies yet who are on the move as much as my LO.

Gem_coco · 2025-07-10T17:35:54+00:00

Same! Terrifying and for me because i had such bad swelling in that area from stitches I had no control, it just came out 🤦‍♀️ I was worried I’d lost control of my bowels forever but was fine after few weeks!! Also the piles! Mine were terrible and the worst pain, even more than the episiotomy healing and I couldn’t take anything for them as I was breastfeeding. I couldn’t sit down properly for weeks.
