Mel, I bet it's a weight off now you have made the decision to stop bfing. I know it was for me when I was feeding Lil. All the time it takes to express, bf, bottlefeed, sterilise bottles.....I wouldn't have been able to do that this time, not with Lily too, she's too full on. And you just don't have the time with two.
Glad you had fun at the wiggles!! Poo about the fine though!
Kris, my MIL isn't too bad, and she was staying at my mums so I didn't have to deal with her all day! I think I would have gone a bit batty if I had though....she did stay here last night though and came here and helped me with folding the clothes and washed up the dishes after dinner, so maybe it wouldn't have been so bad having her here!
It's always the way with being on your own with the kids, I always have a tough nights when DH is at work on a night shift. The kids sense it!
Hope you had fun at the wiggles too!
Von, wow, another wiggles concert-goer! Hope you had fun too, lol!! Hope you got your nap and night out too.
Well, we are all sick again...Lily is sooo generous with her germs! I have had a nanna nap with Liam this arvo cause I felt so crappy. AF is back already and today was my first day and I was just feeling soo off, and with a cold, yuck!! I still feel like I could go to bed soon too, so thats probably good, I wont be in bed at midnight, only to wake with Lil at the crack of dawn for the day tomorrow, not to mention that I'll undoubtedly be up a thousand times otherwise!
We had DH's work picnic today. It was pretty nice, a beautiful day. Though Liam got a bit sunburnt. I didn't put sunscreen on him, thinking he's too little for it (did any of you use kids sunscreen on your bubs when they were so young? Lil was really sensitive to it at his age so I couldn't use it on her. I haven't tried on Liam thinking he'd be the same) and that we'd just sit in the shade. Which we did mostly, but I guess the few times he was out in the sun was enough for his delicate white white skin! Poor little monkey's head is burnt. His hair looks like a halo when he's in the light cause his head is so red, LOL! Lily had a ball and ran daddy ragged! She's sooo full on. My girlfriend said she didn't realise she was so bad until now. It was nice to be acknowledged and to have people know how much of a handful she is for me especially DH! It's so hard to run after her with Liam too now. I tell people she's 'energetic', 'busy' and 'inquisitive' (read non stop, into everything monster!!) and they're like 'oh yeah so is....' or 'Oh well she is at that age' they just don't understand!!
Anyway, I'm off, might go to bed....
