Yey Kelly wonderful news. Wishing you all the best. BTW it took a week of restless night when Loren gave up her dummy...may the force be with you
Lisa - hi how are you?
megsmum - thanks v much. I think it took everything to heart yesterday
Willow - enjoy. Question - How do you get around leaving D and feding etc. So far I have to take E everywhere just in case she needs a feed. I'd love to leave at home some times
Hi Bek - its been crazy here for us too. We had a great time away and I got to meet the gorgeous Sydney gals, my uncle diagnosed with bowel cancer and had major surgery, my BF had a m/c, and our friends had a baby two days ago which so far has been the best thing to happen since we left for holidays. Otherwise Miss A is really well, other than a nasty bump on her head from headbutting the corner of a table. Im good, growing nicely and have got lots of movements which keeps me sane.
Ladies - as i mentioned friends of ours had a gorgeous baby two days ago. Im thrilled for them, she had a 13 hour labour, vaginal deliv with 2 stiches only. I feel somewhat ripped off - i love this girl, but she hated being pg and complained the whole time, then she has this great labour and birth which she thinks was the worst thing ever, dont know maybe its my hormones but her bad attitude towards pg and birth annoys the crap out of me given she didnt have to work very hard to get either! Sorry just had to vent, all better now
Thanks so much everyone.. it's still sinking in but its great to finally be talking about it.
Lisa - Wow, you've had a pretty rough time lately too. Hope everything improves and hope your uncle is ok. I completely understand where you're coming from with your friend.. it's soooo frustrating... so vent away!!
Bek - Oh god.. a week of sleep deprivation is going to kill me atm!!! LOL. I'm exhausted. We had two amazing nights and I thought we'd somehow scored... it was waaayyyy too good to be true.. then all hell broke loose last night. I had to fight him to have a sleep today too and his little eyes were almost falling out of his head!!! Poor little man... what were we thinking!!! Will be sooo good to have that dummy gone for good though.
Megsmum - Good luck with all the wrapping and cleaning!! I'm sure you'll have a great holiday!
Michelle - OMG.. you have been busy! Incredible!
Spring - Thanks so much.. I can't stop thinking about Mako.
Willow - LOL.. I was wondering if anyone picked up on my lack of 'updates' but there was just far too much going on. Hope you managed to get that pedicure!
BW - Any luck finding your phone... I can't imagine how lost you're feeling without it.
AFM - I'm absolutely shattered. I just had to fight Luke to have a sleep with me.. but thankfully we both managed to get some 'zzzz'.. although I feel even worse now.. I'm just exhausted and was feeling quite sick this morning... it's BRILLIANT. I know you'll all understand this... I just want to get REALLY, REALLY sick this time so I can relax just a tiny bit!! Alternatively, I want to just curl up into a ball and sleep for the next 7 weeks or so!!! LOL. Holy crap.. how am I going to get through this first trimester.
Anyway better go.. our poor house looks like a bomb has hit it.. I don't even know where to start. I'm missing my mum even more than ever now.. I'd kill to be able to drop Luke off to her for the day... bring on January 9 when we head back to Perth for a few weeks!!
Hope everyone is prepared and ready for Christmas.. I'm spewing I can't enjoy all the 'good' food.. that just sucks!! But it's totally worth it!!
Bek - Funny you should ask. Seems that out of 3 babies I've finally struck one that's not keen on the bottle I usually just express for him and leave a bottle for DH if I'm not home in time. Or I just feed him, put him to bed and then I know I've got a few hours up my sleeve before I need to be back to feed him again. I'm never gone longer than a few hours.
I left a bottle with MIL last week when I took the kids to see the Wiggles. I left two defrosted and one frozen 'just in case' because we were in the city and coming home on public transport so I wanted to cover three feeds in case I was late home. I dropped him off at 7.30am, got back at 2pm and he'd had one bottle Just wouldn't take the second.
DH tried again yesterday and he drank about 20mls It's not going to be much fun for me if I can't duck out for a hour here and there alone I tell ya! I've been much better at making sure I get some 'me' time this time around because I know what it did to me last time when I got none (and it was no one's fault but mine, I just hated leaving L).
We're going out today to the shops to try and get the kids santa photo done (yer....wish us luck!) so I'm going to try and find him a sippy cup to put in his santa stocking (seriously...what do you buy a 4mo for xmas?!) and see if that's any better. I might also try a faster flow teat in the meantime.
Supposed to be going out for dinner with friends tonight - that's going to be fun. He's been unsettled again the last 3 nights and it's starting to do my head in a bit. Not sure if more teeth are on the way...only time will tell. But all mummy wants for Christmas is a bit more sleep!
How is Miss E going? Have you sorted out her day sleeps?
Lisa - It all comes so easily to some people and they just have no idea how thankful they should be.
Mako - I can't believe you are going through this again - I'm so sorry this happened. How are you holding up? Hang in there babe, we are all here for you.
Kelly - congrats on your news, don't feel bad - we are all sensitive to each others pain in here, but also can regoice when there's good news too! Hope you are feeling sicker by the day!
Hi to everyone else - been flat out this week, coupled with broken sleep, plus my mum is visiting so that means one more to look after but I'm hanging in there!
Flynn just regained his birth weight, took him a bit longer than most, but I'm glad he's on the right track! Hugs to all!
kelly - congrats, what fantastic news!! I had been wondering why you had gone all quiet on the issue... Glad to hear you are feeling sick too! I found it really hard coping at the beginning with this pregnancy - I wanted to feel sick for reassurance, but then I was feeling soooo sick that it was near impossible to look after DD. And I can feel for you having moved recently - you really miss having family support around when you are feeling too sick to look after a toddler. I hope you manage to get enough sickness to feel reassured but not enough that you are really really sick!
Mako - I know you won't get this, but I just wanted to say I am thinking of you and I hope you manage to have a lovely Christmas. Give your little man lots and lots of cuddles and know that we are all here sending our best wishes your way.
Lee - good to hear from you again! Glad to hear Flynn has regained his birth weight. Sounds like you are pretty busy at the moment! It looks like we are going to have my sister plus the inlaws staying with us right around my EDD so I will be feeling your pain! I am actually really annoyed as my sister arranged it ages ago and I am happy to have her stay, then the ILs decided they were coming over at the same time with no consultation whatsoever with me and I don't want them here! I am just picturing a house full of rellies waiting for me to go into labour - just the thought makes me shudder. I am soooo hoping this bub comes early so I can avoid that.
Willow - I hope you get your Christmas wish and get more sleep! It sure is a crazy time of year and I can only imagine how crazy with three little ones to look after. I am so sorry to hear about your gran, I hope you get some better news soon
Lisa - grrrr... some people really have no idea how lucky they are. I know people who are so blissfully unaware of the things that can go wrong in labour, the high chances of miscarrying a pregnancy etc, because it has never happened to them and their comments can make me soooo angry!!
megsmum - have a great Chrissie and New Year!
Michelle - happy first birthday to Lily! I have no idea where that time went, it feels like she was only just born!
Spring - how are you going? Judging by how incredibly uncomfortable I am at the moment, I reckon you must be really feeling it! I just cannot get to sleep at the moment, I am so uncomfortable all the time, my ribs are crushed, my bladder is constantly being headbutted, I can hardly move..... argh! I hope you are going better than me! Looking forward to hearing an announcement any day now!
Hi to everyone else, hope you are all travelling well.
Well guys, we are off to Melb for a few days tomorrow so not sure if I will get a chance to get online again so I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I hope you and your families have a lovely day and I will look forward to hearing all about it when I am back online. Spring, good luck sweetie if you pop over the next few days! WIll be thinking of you
Kelly - CONGRATS. I know how hard it is to be happy for yourself and sad for a friend. But im sure Mako will be happy for you to!! I only ever got MS with my son, typical boy Hope it doesn't hang around for you.
Lee - Yay glad Flynn is back to his birth weight.
Willow - which bottle are you using?? I use the tommee tippee close to nature one. Evangeline likes it. She's happy to have that and my boobie. Good luck with the shops, im going this arvo, I hope santa brings you what you want, maybe even tonight.
Lisa - Hun, i have a so called friend, and all she ever does is complain about waking up through the night, complain about her kids It drievs me nuts cause id rather be tired and cranky, then missing my girl. But i agree with Willow, some ppl just don't know how lucky they are. Vent away, your allowed to!!

I panicked and rang the denist, apprently its a bit early, but not to uncommon. aww my little man is growing up way to fast, in 6wks he starts big school. Evangeline, well she's great.
