Good Morning! Mel there is hope for me yet! Wow you come from a big family! Glad the LC was helpful - did DH stay with Olivia or did she go with you guys?
DIs - Good on you with a new computer! At least you wont dissapear when you have this bubba like last time!
Kaz - Poor pip, the little thing is under the weather again? He cant seem to shake it can he? I hope it is starting to clear for you both.
Us - Going out for our 6th wedding anniversary tonight (not til the 7th Dec really but our babysitters, BIL and SIL are going away!) to a lovely resturant we have been to before many years ago before marriage! - the degustation menu awaits! Woo Hoo! We will put B down then shoot off! He slept for bugger all yesterday after the stinky ice cream van woke him - but he slept in till 7am this morning
Have great days everyone xxx
Yayayayayayayay - last day at work *does the last day at work dance*
Mel, what a big family you have! Must be fun when you all get together Glad the LC helped. I remember when Ben use to feed for almost an hour EVERY time he fed. He was a guts though!
Kaz, just got a basic iMac but totally love it already. We had an eMac so we're not new to Mac, but six years is a long time in computer world and the difference in speed and ease is amazing!
Poor Pip. Hope he's feeling better and not too clingy for you today.
Jen, yup, will be able to stay in touch this time and not go MIA. I'm seriously in love with my computer, even turning it on and booting it up takes about 1/8th of the time the old one used to! We've also started editing all the Ben DVDs we have, transferring them from mini-discs to normal DVDs at long last.
Have a lovely dinner with your DH. Nothing wrong with celebrating early or late. DH and I went out for dinner in November for our first anniversary and in September for our 2nd and our anniversary is actually in October
Feeling GOOD today! A bit breathless and hot but nothing will ruin my good mood today!
Kris, it sounds like things are going well for you. You are doing so well!
Kaz, yay @ ttc, good luck .
Yeah, I have used sign language for a little while with her, just really basic signs, I don't know that many. I only know it from work, we use it with the children with special needs to make life easier for them. It has been good for Lil, and she still uses the signs now even though she can say the words too now.
Poor Pip sick again, I hope he gets better soon.
DG, you must be getting to the stage of your pg where you're getting over everything now! At least it hasn't been all that hot yet this yr.
Glad to hear Ben's sleeping better for you now .
Jen, glad the playgroup was fun! At least now you have somewhere to go to get out.
Thanks, I'm pretty proud to say we are now fully bf. After such a tough time with Lil, I was dreading going through all of that again. And yep, I think 6wks is the time when it gets easier, it did for us anyhow, Lil got the message Liam was hanging around, Liam figured out night time was when you sleep and bf got easier all of a sudden!
Happy anniversary! I hope you have a lovely day and dinner.
Mel, happy to hear that the LC helped you, I hope things get easier. I know how hard it can be . And Becca is gorgeous!
Good Evening ladeez,
Friday night dinner was great, just so amazing to go on a date, although of course Beau woke up as soon as we left but SIL and BIL just let him whinge for 20min and he dropped back off!! Isnt it hilarious? He never wakes up but the minute you walk out....they wouldnt have rung us anyway just delt with him themselves, bless.
Been a pretty quiet weekend around here- DH away on a golf weekend so B and I just chillin' out around the house. Went for a walk this morning to the local shops up the STEEPEST hill ever - nearly killed me! Kept "checking" on Beau as an excuse to stop and get a breath He has been pretty good for me, must have known mummy needed some down time, had two big naps Sat and Sun and has been pretty fuss free.
DH came home this afternoon swearing he will never leave us again, I am sure when I jumped him when he came in the door(B still asleep) was a nice welcome home too!
Ok better go, hope everyone having a nice weekend.
LOVING maternity leave and it's only my first day!!! So far I've done four loads of washing (including the bedding for Ben's new big boy bed that we STILL haven't put him into) and Ben and I have been to the park. This on top of the usual stuff of feeding, changing and feeding AGAIN a toddler - and myself.
It's a brilliantly sunny day here - a lovely start to summer!
We had a good weekend, family visits (us to them) on both days to both sides of the family. Ben is finally starting to enjoy playing with his cousins. I have a feeling that him and his next oldest cousin (a boy 10 months older) are going to get into a lot of mischief when we go camping together at Christmas! They're already showing signs
Jen, glad you had a lovely night out! The one and only date DH and I have had since having Ben was for our anniversary this year. We went kinda early so he wasn't asleep and he was having so much fun with his Nan and Aunty I don't think he even realised we were gone!
I best be off. I want to do a few other things before trying to get a bit of a nap myself. I'm hoping Ben will have his usual 3-4 hour nap Happy first of Summer everybody!!!
Well, it's gone all quiet in here again.....I guess with chrissy and babies and all, everyone is busy, busy, busy!
Jen, glad to hear you have a good time at dinner. I can't wait til our kidlets are bigger and easier to look after so mum will look after then for longer than a few hours! I haven't had anytime alone with DH at all since Liam was born ...
Sounds like you're going to get fit living up the coast now, what with all that walking! LOL.
DG, glad your mat leave is going well so far. Don't tire yourself out too much!
Us, well, a fairly quiet weekend. Just went to mum for the night saturday night, to let DH get some sleep after a few night shifts, then a 1st birthday sunday, which was lovely. Lily had a ball!
I'm feeling a bit run down and over the mummy thing the past few days. I need more than 30mins to myself! But won't be getting that anytime soon, so I just need to get over it! Ok gotta go , Liam's calling.
Oh Kel, do you have anybody who can take Lily and Liam for a few hours? I had mum take Ben this morning and went and had a pg massage. It was absolute heaven! Then I did some shopping. My goodness, I didn't realise how much I missed shopping without a little one to entertain/feed/change! Had an absolute ball! I also did the grocery shopping while eating an ice-cream cone, something that is impossible with Ben demanding half of anything mummy has and 'helping' in the shops I feel like a new woman!!!
Hi Everybody...
Just got back from playgroup (which is going very nicely thank you!) - there was another little boys 3rd birthday and there was chocolate cake which Beau of course tried to eat like cookie monster which was disaster! He has been such a crank the past two days, especially in the morning which is weird. I think I am going to try and put him down earlier in the evening (than 7:30pm) cause he still awake at 5:45am anyway so maybe he is tired still thats why he is so cranky???/
Kel - I think you are doing so well, dont blame you for getting a bit over it. Totally normal. You will have to get DH to take the kids for a morning or arvo if you can leave some EBM for Liam and go and do something for yourself. You are considerate of DH going to your mums so he should do the same for you!! Going out to dinner was amazing, you appreciate so much once you have kids!! Love dressing up too once in a while - feel like a sexy woman not a yoghurt/vegemite covered mumma.
Dis - What about you with your domestic duties! Are you still on a roll there? Let us know how Benny boy goes in his big bed too. How good you got to have a massage and some retail therapy! I got a surprise tax return last week and am trying to decide what shopping centre I am going to one weekend (solo!) to spend some of it - cant wait!! You must feel great not waking B up of a morning now - how are his sleeps adjusting?
Hi everyone else - hope you are all well x
Mel there is hope for me yet! Wow you come from a big family! Glad the LC was helpful - did DH stay with Olivia or did she go with you guys?
. And Becca is gorgeous!
He has been pretty good for me, must have known mummy needed some down time, had two big naps Sat and Sun and has been pretty fuss free.
