Hi everyone,

Geez I'm slack...

BUT, I am going to catch up on this WHOLE thread (possibly in one go, assuming Jazz stays asleep, shes in the sling so i have a good chance that she will!)!!!

Squidipa, so glad Josh is gaining weight! You mentioned (about a week ago...) origin and their magazine deal... i got that about november last year, better homes and gardens WOOHOO have been getting the free subscription since february! Thought there must have been a catch but nope, no extra cost, I was stoked lol. We pay between $200 and $300 every 3 months for electricity. I heard about the baby oil thing, I think I'll just make sure it is with all the other bathroon stuff when the time comes that she can get to it and swallow it. I really hope your 3yo stops eating and trashing everything soon, for your sake, what a nighttime routine!
When it comes to ex's I know how you feel, Shel's ex is constantly hounding us, like she can't let go, she even text Shel on mathers/fathers day to say hey happy mothers day I mean WTF! She still texts Shel and rings. When a car drives past I am so worried its going to be her, she is the one who pushed Shel through a wall when Shel and I got together. We moved and didn't tell her where we were going or anything, and she went to our old house and tracked down people who would know where we lived Anyway, I would be VERY angry at MIL if she did something like that. I would be angry at Shel if she didn't say back off (and was very angry for a very long time until she did eventually say it).

MM, your little man is such a cutie chubba! His cutie pie cheeks match Jazz's! LOL!

Melsta, welcome! Was wondering if my little one was gonna be a 08-08-08 bub, but no luck lol. Love her name BTW hehe!

Vic, so glad you have been able to feed without the shields, hope your bruise has gone away OUCH that sounded painful! And YAY! for the weight gain!!!!! Lol, I do baby talk to Jazz, well actually I just talk pigeon to her, cooing, just repeating back what she does, we have some good pigeon chats LOL! and a bit of baby voice talk, can't help it LOL! Shel's mum tried to tell us all these things, like being in the wind will give babies wind () so she always covers her face with the blanket when we are outside, WHETHER ITS WINDY OR NOT!!!!!! and I just want to throttle her. She practically suffocates her. And Shel's sister, OMG I will seriously kill her one day I think. She acts all high a mighty, like shes the best mum in the world, and says "oh don't bother doing that it doesn't work" GRRRRRRRR. Ignore ignore ignore is the best advice I've ever gotten!

MT I know how you feel about the c/s and circumstances this time that reduce chances of vbac next time. :hugs: I don't tknow what to say, or else I would be able to say it to myself as well, but just wanted you to know that I know what you're going through. I do the same think with expressing and bfing, Shel does the night feed of EBM, hey it works, some bubs don't handle going from boob to bottle, but if you don't have any trouble then do what works

Mel, i am also trying to diet... lost some of this baby weight before in gets to comfy on me!!!!! Got the Wii Fit last Monday for my birthday (which is next Monday 29th) and have lost 1kg, though I think I gained it back yesterday I made lasagne... I'm too scared to go do the body test!!!!!! And too lazy to play today (Jazz had a shocker last night... thats my excuse!).

Kel, Jazz has steel blue eyes, but the are snake skin eyes like mine (patterned, like those contact lenses, very usual according to my optometrist). I think they're getting lighter, can't wait to see what colour they end up! The donor had blue eyes too according to the profile, and my parents and siblings all have blue eyes so no surprises there. Also, bright red hair is coming through, so adorable (thats from me again lol!)! Jazz constantly has velcro baby days, and she just wont go down. Most of the time she's not whingy or crying, unless I put her down. She's quite content if I am holding her. THANK GOODNESS FOR MY SLING! Although I could try to build up my arm muscles and use her as weights I suppose!!!!


Has everyone had their 6 week checkup? I haven't haven't gotten around to it, plus I read they do an internal, well they f-ing hurt so I don't really want one! I really should get around to it, but am using the excuse that I don't have anyone to look after Jazz while I go... lol

Jazz is still smiling away. I think she might laugh soon too, she's been making cute noises, but nothing really laughy yet.

*small whinge* Shel and I had an argument the other night, apparently she is sick of finishing the dishes for me. When I cook dinner, I usually start doing the dishes, and when I serve I just wash as I serve so that nothing sticks to pans etc, and also so that after dinner all we have to do is the plates, and dishes don't build up. Anyway, my nights usually go like this - start dinner, start dishes, serve dinner, feed and settle Jazz while dinner goes cold because Shel is clueless as to how to settle her, eat half cold dinner, and then finish dishes THEN I can relax, well I have asked if Shel could finish the dishes after dinner the past week because I had to cook and then not even being able to eat what I cook when its hot. Ok, she does it. And then ONE NIGHT where she cooks dinner she chucks the *****s because she has to finish the washing up. Anyway, I'm probably being unreasonable, yeah I should have finished the dishes because she cooked but I just wanted a break. *whinge over*

Ok, and now to copy my post before I press post because I'll be stuffed if I have to write this again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
