Parenting after LT TTC #5

[Neptune]

Hi everyone!

I have been MIA too, completely bogged down in assignments and two nasty exams coming up in the next few weeks.

I'm too behind to catch up too much with persies, but:

Huge congrats to Marcellus, that is awesome news!

BW - I'm so sorry you are having a tough time at the moment and hope things pick up for you very soon

Hello to Grub, Murph, Smithy, BG, Kahlan, Janie and everyone else.

We are doing well, Adam is nearly 7 months, sitting up, although a but wobbly lol! He has been moving around the floor on his own since the day he started rolling which was more than a month ago, so we are on high alert! Sometimes finding him in very strange positions in the cot and have to laugh. He chatters away and squeals....well I don't have to tell you girls how delightful that is.

Blimey, just saw my ticker....Adam IS 7 months already....bad mummy.

Hi All

OMG, Tara now has 2 teeth.... We have gone from none to 2 in the space of 5 days. She is not happy today and has been cranky and crying and has only slept for 20 mins. I'm alternating on the panadol and nurofen to help her with the discomfort and hoping she will sleep.

Oh, also my FS appt has been bought forward from next Friday to Monday.... I'm scared and excited all rolled into 1.

Poppyfairy hi there great to see you again even with slow internet Warmer weather sounds like the trick

KellyD the cost is up in SA too I think it's wrong but I wont get on my high horse... much!

Marcelous love sing song what a wonderful thing

Smithy too cute Charlie

Thanks Saph I'm thinking of buying one, just so I don't freak out so much.

Hmmm child care went heaps better Tuesday, he screamed big time when I left but was not interested in me at all when I came back, good sign I guess, only an hour though one more hour today then half day tuesday. OMG he's 7.5kg! wopper! guess all that fussy feeding isn't hurting his weight gain and he's busting out of 0's already!

So I'm doing a dummy run tomorrow, I still have no idea how to get out of the house on time with a happy baby? any tips would be great.

DH is being alot better he wants to quit his job, I'd love him to be home with linc all the time just the mortgages that would kill us. yep we stupidly have 3! his mine and ours blah I can cover two but not his. He's got 35K in the bank for renos on his house, I suggested he take 6 months off use that to pay the mortgage and then we move to Darwin he didn't say no

HOLY mackarel green! 7.5kg! Ash just hit 7kg lol but he's really long. hey that sounds like a lovely idea. re dh quit work and the move. we *think* we are heading to the 'win at the end of the year = i'm soooo ready for a change.
well my mumma is coming this weekend. she saw ash when he was born in dec for 6 days and that's it! poor old chook, it must be so hard for her, she loves babies and he's the only grandchild on both sides.
she's only here for 4 days - i couldn't handle any more.
oh bubba showing tired signs . better go.

Saph I'm so gelous I'm turning fluro green!! lucky you.

Smithy you are a wonderful planner, I thought I was good but not June good. I'd want to give it to them now.

Janie hope all is getting better and you get some answers.

ATM been so busy this week, Linc as been really unhappy with all the early starts so I'm not doing them work can wait and I"ll get there when I can (they don't know this yet) the cold has made him rattly and I'm not sure but he seems to be snotty again, is this another cold. He's been waking ....... EVERY 40 mins and Yes I still went to work....... zzzzzzzzzzzz bit better last night 10-1.30am before he needed resettling. then it was hourly after his feed at 2.30. I don't know if this is just a faze or what but it can't go on. I'm thinking of going to the stay over night sleep thing if it doesn't stop.

On a funny note Linc has only poo'd for DH this week and today he flilled 3 nappies! sometimes it's good to be at work.

Green - I would be doing the sleep school, I have been considering doing it throughout the day as Xavier is a crappy day sleeper. But I guess you can cope with that if you are getting good sleep at night.

Can I ask you all a personal question. Those of you who are breast feeding did Af come back while you are feeding and if not did you get any spotting. With C I did not get AF until well after I finished feeding him. At the moment I am having some very light spotting. Is this normal.

DH and I have been having the do we want anymore kids talk lately. I have said that I cant make the decision now (considering I am still in pain from Xavier and have just gone back to wearing the same brace I had on during my pregnancy), but I will not go back to AC to get one. So I think we will just continue on as we are and let fate decide for us.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. It is a long weekend here for us but as DH runs his own buisness we are having our long weekend next week as DH wants to do kindy roster on Monday with C so we decided to go away next weekend. First camping trip.AARRGH
