Squidipa - for exH's job!!!

yeah as ya may have noticed i actually get on with the EXH MOST of the time its great cause he NEEDED it He has never actully got a Job in that trained profession so i am happy very much so for him. It Hasn't been he hasn't been able to get a job, he has been offered many positions and never applied for a job that was the issue he had no interest in work just wanted to stay at home with kids. So i am delighted he applied and got it He is doing web design. I think the reason why i am so exited for him is i KNEW he could do it. I also supported him all through uni and the better bigger bit is the kids will benefit from his extra income YAY!!!!!

Hi everyone!!

Been a busy week here- DH had a friend come and stay and my little man has begun sleeping all night!! Which is great for night time.... but now he has decided to stay awake ALOT during the day!! So i have been doing some major entertaining here!!!

Leasha.. lol at your song!! I have discovered i need to re learn all the nursery rhymes.. poor shane gets half a rendition then alot of humming and daa daa dee dee daa daa's where mummy has forgotten words!!! lol

Mel... Hugs i hope you feel better soon

Squidipa... yay on some good feeding there!! Shane loves to have a rub on his forehead too- i find its a good trick to run my finger down his nose as he drifts off- it helps him close his eyes!!

I still havent got AF back yet either- but i have been warned that noe DS is sleeping all night (and has done for a week straight now!!!) that it may return soon... and i have been getting cranky like i do before she arrives... so i am guessing she is on her way

Sorry this is short and sweet... time to take some cute pics of shane in his cool Halloween suit!!

WAves to all!!!

Veygas slept through the night for almost 2 weeks (and is now waking once or twice again ) and I still have no sign of AF ... I did start getting a little bit crampy - well not really like AF crampy - and realised I had been a little crampy a few weeks earlier .... I know it's a long shot, but maybe I have started O-ing again ... Hard to tell while still BF-ing but all signs seem to be pointing that way ....

Squidipa - that is sooo good about EXH!!

Can't believe we are up to 70 posts on this thread already!!

Anyway must get lunch ready!

Toodles! xxxx

Just a quickie as i am sure that you would want to know as its a burden on my shoulders i have been sharing with all of you

All i have to say about its

Since wednesday we have a GAIN of 95 GRAMS!!!!!!!!!

And its not even offical weigh in yet

[nagromeyk]

Hi all

Well MIL has left so now I'm back in the midst of things. Have read back through the posts briefly but wont do personals, too hard

Had a $hitty day yesterday - I was racing against time to get to see my friend at the hospital. Had to be there by 1pm as apparently they are strict on mums resting between 1-2:30pm. I caught the train from Robina at 10am which would of got to the station I was wanting to get to just after 11am so yeah went up to Roma St, got off and had to change platforms (had 3 minutes to catch a lift down to the subway, run along to the next lift and get onto plat 8) got on the train and thought yay cool we've made it. Sat there and the train didnt make a stop for like another 10mins and I was starting to think "I did get on the right train" then found out it wasnt stopping where I needed to go to cause they were doing work on the line first stop was corinda; I had no idea where I was so caught the next northbound train back to Roma St. By the time I got back it was 12:15pm and I was told I would have to catch a bus!!! I thought bugger that - its all too hard so caught the train back home to Robina
so yeah yesterday was a good train ride Kye was really good too - bar the fact he decided to do the biggest poo on the way home.
Changing him while the train is rocking around was such a mission!!

As for his weigh in yesterday; good news he only gained 250 grams I guess thats still quite a big gain but I was expecting 300-400g so I was real happy

Anyways dinner is a calling so must go... hope everyone is enjoying their saturday!

Hi guys - sorry been MIA for a few days - been a really rough week.

Squidipa - congrats on the gain - thats a great amount!!!

Sasha - congrats on the small gain.. lol

Can't remember what else was said - but to everyone.

Things here are ok - mum took DS for the day so me and DH got stuck into the housework. So at least the house is reasonable now - that makes me feel much better!!!!

I weighed and measured DD today - as she is now 13 weeks and everyone was telling me how long she is..
so..
Length - 67cm
Weight - 5.7kg

Such a long skinny thing she is!!!!!

to everyone - and hope you are all having a great weekend!!

[*Beema*]

G'day everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend!@

We gained 40grams, so Nakita is 4500grams exactly, it felt like more, so it was dissappointing to see it, but at least it was a gain. We have a few things to try this week, and have to get weighed again next Friday. Was really hoping for a week off weighing in!

Also today my LHS nipple is split and OMG it is killing me! I am piling on the lansinogh, hoping that it is improving b4 her next feed or I might have to try the nipple shield on there. I have just given N her late evening bottle, we have got her back onto it after waking at 4.30am for a few days!

We went to the halloween party last night and got home @ 1 am, but as I had a head full of glitter hairspray I had a shower washed and blow dried my hair and got to bed after 1.30am

I know it's a long shot, but maybe I have started O-ing again ... Hard to tell while still BF-ing but all signs seem to be pointing that way ....

I am wondering the same, I will know within the next couple of weeks

Since wednesday we have a GAIN of 95 GRAMS!!!!!!!!!

And its not even offical weigh in yet

Fabulous news Squidipa!!

Changing him while the train is rocking around was such a mission!!

Veygas slept through the night for almost 2 weeks (and is now waking once or twice again )

MM all I can say is - Wonder Week!!! I hope!!

Can't wait to see his pics!!

As for his weigh in yesterday; good news he only gained 250 grams I guess thats still quite a big gain but I was expecting 300-400g so I was real happy

Wow Mel, she really is long!! I will get N's length done this week when we weigh in again.

Hey folks
Quick personals first....
Squidipa YAY FOR JOSIAH'S WEIGHT GAIN! You must be sooo happy that all your hard work is paying off! Well done.
Vic - cute photos, must have been a fun party! Love the lady bug outfit!
Mel - Miss M is so tall! Hope DS starts being good for you again, sounds like he's been hard work lately! And great of your mum to take him for the day - what a shame you had to waste it on housework LOL
Sash - what a PITA! but at least Kye enjoyed his train ride! Train is about the only transport we haven't tried Beth on yet. She has tried a car, plane, bus and boat!
MM & SB - no AF here either.... and Beth has been sleeping through (mostly) for a couple of weeks. The Bear keeps saying he thinks I am pregnant again cause I have been a little lazy about contraception lately and I still have a little pot belly. God I hope not, Really don't want to be pregnant again right now! Have to be more careful!
Leash, kiwigirl, mel, it's funny how they like our singing! No one else in the world would like mine, I guess that's one of the joys of parenthood LOL - great song Leash
(Mel you're excused from reading the rest as I already posted it on July)
Well, we have had a super busy weekend. Friday night was the big 60th birthday bash for the ILs. They had a great time. We took Beth all dressed in pink with little fairy wings which everyone thought was sooooo cute (took one cute pic which I'll post eventually). But it was at a lousy time for a 12 week old baby.... it started at 7pm and went on all night, and there was a live band, and lights and dozens of drunk people who all wanted to squeeze her cheeks and cuddle her. She hadn't had a proper nap in the afternoon so she was pretty much on the verge of a nervous breakdown the whole time. We didn't really let people cuddle her because she would have just screamed the house down. We left about 10.30. Yesterday we had the markets in the morning and in the afternoon we had a boat cruise around the harbour which the Bear organised with my (sort of) uncle. It was a great day and much better for Beth, she slept a lot because the rocking of the boat was very soothing. But she also got passed around and made googoo eyes at people. The Bear's sister is in town (both his siblings are in Australia for the 60th) and she is really ing me off. She is constantly trying to grab Beth and then immediately starts posing for photos with her. You can just see her thinking "I look so good with this baby". Her mother and husband are always on standby with the camera as soon as she picks Beth up. She has never taken any interest in us (the feeling is pretty mutual) but now she has tried to invite herself over for dinner next week. I don't really want her to come especially since I have guests 2 other nights this week, I think cooking for guests 3 times in one week is too much to ask, and since she is the least welcome I think we will tell her to organise a baby-friendly cafe. of course she is such a cheapskate she will just get her mother to cook so it will be dinner at the PILs. The photo thing really annoys me too, because no one takes photos of me with Beth. There are going to be more photos of SIL holding Beth with that ghoulish creepy smile than of me with her. The poor baby is going to grow up thinking I didn't love her
And my mum is back from Italy tomorrow so we will lose our second car and the one we were going to borrow next has fallen through.... so it's walkies for me again!

Hello all,

Im back finally after our computer had a meltdown - again.

Yay for Josiah! He's really doing well now! Congratulations!

Sorry, I have no hope in you know where of catching up, so I won't even try. I have so much to do before the wedding - in 2 weeks!

Seven had a bad night last night, not going to sleep until 2.15am. I think it was because we didnt' do 'The Routine' so I will be back doing it again tonight!

Hope you are all well. Gotta fly!
