Yay we survived the movies. Ash loved it - he only watched about 15mins and he zonked and woke up just as it finished lol, but i enjoyed it anyways. It was soooo mice to get out and see a 'normal' session, felt more like a family outting than being forced into mums and bubs cos everyone hates kids in the movies screaming.
need to get some info from those who have expressed before - has anyone used an electric pump b4? im thinking maybe i should try one if there better than the hand one, if im going to spend the next year expressing everyday for Ash at childcare... thats if i can for that long...
-
Lauren- Go the Avent electric I reckon. Works like a dream.... even if you feel a little bit like a cow attached to a milking machine, ykwim? Moooooooo.... :lol:
-
awesome. i have the Avent hand one,i rekon i would feel like a cow if i had the double one lol.
-
Hey Lauren, Glad to hear that the movie went well. What did you go to see? About pumps. I have used electric pumps in the hospital when Ethan was littler - by a mile now. Anyways i found that the double one worked better as the let down occured on both sides at once. Also you dont have to spend as long pumping because you are doing both at once. It hurts at first but i found for the time that i did it - double was alot easier. I found the avent ones were good or the umm m something ones cant think of the brand.
Goodluck
-
I used a medela electric pump and thought it was awesome :) Very quick and easy to use. Maybe hire one and see how you go of the brand you want to buy to make sure its what you want 1st iykwim.
Well pretty boring day here not much happening. Kids driving me mad. Cant wait for DH to hurry up and come home. Roll on Fri.
-
I wasnt sure if u could hire them! that would be great, im presuming a chemist??
Speaking of Fridays... eeep, I have a 'date' lol bit nervous tbh as i havent been out with someone since Ash was concieved PML... i so hope i go about this the right way for ash too. Im needing some male attention about now.. 2 years is long enough hehehe
-
Buzzie - YOu can hire one from the ABA

Hi everyone,
Thanks for thinking of me and being such a lovely bunch of friends!
Well, as I stand atm,my lady Doctor isnt back from her holidays until the bloomin, 23/02so I?m just going to see our other family Doctor who DH & the kids use all the time,he`s got 4 kids & married,so I suppose he`s seen lots of boobs in his time. I realy would have prefered my lady Doc,but can`t put this off any longer,I only wish i knew what all the pain is.I will ring the male Doc in the morning to see if i can see him this week.
Anyway enough of my probs!
I don`t know if the weather has got anything to do with it,but kieren has been unsettled lately too,he`s only got 4 teeth,but looks like his getting more.He also screams alot & he`s really getting to me lately,sometimes i just have to go out side for 10 mins or so.instead of yelling stop it!
I have our 2.5 year old starting pre school on Wednesday,I hope that morning goes ok,Iam not in the mood for screaming & tantrums,as DH doesn`t want to come with me,incase he really mucks up for both of us,pee`s me off,it`s like i have to do all the dirty work.:rolleyes:
Iam off to bed now hopefully,i might get some kind of news this week if Iam lucky,fingers crossed. Oh,I been arguing with eveyone the last week or so,not sure but i think Iam just a ****ty B!!!
Hope everyone is doing alright & all the little ones are being good for their Mummies.
Thanks everyone for just being here.:grouphug: Susan.xxxx.

Lori - I hate it when people are like that about their dogs. My aunty is the same, last time I was at mums at the same time as her poor Olivia didn't get to explore (it was when she had just got a good crawl going) as the dog kept getting in her face and licking her (yuck!) I was pretty annoyed that my aunty didn't put the dog outside at all while I was there.
Lauren - I used to take Olivia to the movies all the time but it is just impossible now. Once she started being more mobile she didn't want to sleep in the movie anymore, she wanted to explore the cinema. We still make it to mums and bubs sessions though and the cinema near us has one twice a week so it is still pretty handy. A DATE!!!!!!!!! So detail...... ;)
Nic - Have a great day away. Sometimes a change of scenery is all thats needed.
Hi to everyone I have missed :D
I spent today cooking up a storm. I have some old friends from Uni coming for lunch on Wednesday and I wanted to try out some new dessert and biscuit recipes (they turned out to be very yum :D) I also made a batch of cheesey chicken nuggets for the littles who are coming.
Tonight Olivia managed to take 3 steps from me to her daddy. They were very stumbley but she was so proud of herself when we clapped her. I think proper walking is still a bit of a way off but she is on her way :)
Susan - We posted at the same time. I hope you manage to get into the doctor soon. It makes it more nerve-wracking when you decide to go but then can't get an appointment.

Just a quick one
Lauren: I hired the medela electric pump from my local medical supplier at $50 a Month.. I did have to buy the main part for $80 but I have 2 here if you need one..
Hi to everyone else..
yay on Steps Alicia.. before you know it she will be walking. It happens so fast
Sorry for not doing a few more personals. just watching a new show on tv.. the phone.. Im really enjoying it..
Anyways chat to you all on Wednesday.. Night Night
-
Buzzie- Yep you can generally hire breast pumps from ABA, hospitals or Pharmacies i think from memory the one i hired was a $50 deposit and $25/week there after or $80 for a month. Oh i also had to by the bit that goes onto your boob for hygiene reasons and i think that was about $50 but i still had that from DD1 so this time didnt have to get that again. Although it is a bit of money i think it would be worth it to make sure you are happy with the one you buy. I did end up buying one off ebay and i hated it it was a mini electric but cant remember the brand i found it just didnt do much for me iykwim. OMG a date how exciting. I love been married but sometimes i think i would love to be back on the dating scene ya know see i've still got it :ROFL:
Nic- hope you enjoy your TV show
Alicia- Yay on the 3 steps thats awesome wont be long now :) Hope you enjoy your lunch.
MOM- You are allowed to be a bit snappy and if ppl dont understand then too bad IMO. I really hope you get into the Dr and get it all sorted so you have some piece of mind. I hope Tiger has an awesome day at pre school and goes without any dramas. :crossfingers:
Well DD1 has swimming first thing tomo, then i have a Dr appt in the arvo then off to MIL's for tea (dont know why i still have to go when DH is away but anyway) So pretty busy day ahead for us. Molly has driven me mad today she has the worst temper. DD1 can throw a tanty and a half dont get me wrong but Molly is in a league of her own. If someone has something she wants such as a phone or remote etc she just goes wild. Everyone is started to notice too :doh: Hope its not a sign of whats to come iykwim.

i have been so lazy lately. I dont think ive posted since b4 christmas! I blame facebook. Its darn addictive. I have the super poke app and am constantly annoying my younger brothers with it.
Mirani is walking everywhere at the moment. And is even starting to talk! She says 'whats that' and 'did it'. And is starting to say tia and leesha.
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Lauren, we all want details hun. ; - p

Nic- I sooo wanted to watch the phone after hearing all the radio ads for it but we don't have Fox :doh: Was it good?
Michelle- I'll add you on FB now :) The new format has curbed my addiciton somewhat. Clever Mirani putting two words together like that, Ty has trouble with one.
Susan- Hi hun :) Youa re definatley allowed to be a cranky ***** atm. I am one too but with no excuse ;) I'll put to down to :pms:
Hi to anyone I've missed :)
Ty stood himself up without holding onto anything for the first time this morning, yay!! And dh has day off work to go to the dr's so he got to see it too :D

"Boob or bottle, cloth or 'sposies, home or hospital- As long as they know they are loved "
LoriRae - I just noticed the above statement in your ticker: What a wonderful statement! :dance:
I think some times we all think we are not doing something the "right" way just because we choose or may not have had the choice to do these things a certain way.
It is refreshing to be reminded the LOVING our children is the most important thing.
Thank you you have made my day!

Hi all!
Lauren ? glad Ash was a good boy at the movies yesterday! Good on you re the date on Friday night, where did you meet him? Where are you gonna go? Good luck sweet, you deserve it!
Jas ? woohoo on Ethan taking his first steps, that?s fantastic!
Susan ? bummer your doc isn?t back til then but I think you are right in not putting it off any longer. Let us know how you go hun. Sorry to hear you?re not having a happy time at the moment, I go through these stages as well sometimes when it all seems to be too much, lucky it doesn?t last long for me and I hope it doesn?t for you too.
Alicia ? do all cinemas have a mum and bub session? I didn?t know there was such a thing! Your cooking sounds fantastic, wanna come and do mine?? Lol.
Hoody ? Jake?s the same when he wants something I?ve got and he can?t have it (mostly the phone) he chucks the biggest tantrum! I try and use distraction and given him something else but sometimes that doesn?t work so I just let him chuck his tanty and ignore him? hard but it works (sometimes!)
Michelle ? fb is addictive isn?t it? Between bb and fb I have no idea how my housework gets done lol.
Lori ? woohoo on Ty standing up on his own! Won?t be long now hun.
Well not much happening here, another stinking hot day and I think there?s a fire nearby, CFS have been going crazy screaming down our street and I think I can see smoke but not sure as it?s really windy and could be dust. Oh well, if it?s serious I?m sure they?ll let us know.
Hope everyone?s having a fantastic day and staying cool!

Adkins - the big cinemas like Hoyts and Village usually have one a month, but our local smaller cinema has two a week (they are making a fortune off it) Some big cinemas also have a 'crying room' which is a glassed room at the back of the normal cinema so you can go into any session and if bub is noisy just step into the crying room and watch the movie from in there. Olivia and I went a lot last Summer when it was really hot and we didn't have aircon.

Michelle - i added u to FB. Im addicted too :D I even have an account set up for Ash. Only has Mothersgroup, BB and family on it so i can protect his pictures.
i looked on the ABA website and they hire Medela & Ameda for $15 a week and symphony for $25, (half price cos im a member) but ive never heard of symphony. Plus the bits u buy yourself, storing the milk...
Nic - ill find out what exactly i have to buy myself, but if you dont need yours anymore that would be fantastic, thanku!!!
took ash to abc today first day back since wednesday Oh my god the poor little thing SCREAMED and SCREAMED.. i was sitting in the office at the front of the building paying my account and i could hear him! I said i wanted to take him home and she said i would just confuse hi cos hell start to think if he cries he can go home, which was true so i left him. As soon as i walked out the building i cried histerically!! i was such a mess. But i picked him up at 11.30 and its almost one and hes been fast asleep since.
Tomorrow he'll do a full day but i think hell be ok cos he wasnt too bad when i picked him up.
Well theres not really too much goss,.. PML I was playing around on RSVP - which i used to do when i was about 20 and met some guy and was seeing him for about 2 yrs i think, but he kept going on rsvp and i had enough so we ended it and i swore NEVER to go back on it...but i got bored one day, and being IMPOSSIBLE to pick up a man with a baby on your hip, i thought ill have a peak on there. anyways i get SO bored on it, and hate making conversations i never really am that intrested in any of them... But there were 2 that emailed me and caught my attention.... yes.. 2 ! lol
So i actually have 2 dates now, i thought i would take the plunge and why not...
So i have a date thursday night with a guy who i dont know how far itll go, hes very nice but a little lazy lol is a manager at coles.. (which is not normally my type.. im more into number 2's types lol) So where off to the movies cos i want to see yes man.
Then Friday night im going out to dinner with number 2, whos a bad boy tradie with a yummy tat down his arm, tanned... yummo.. LOL Plus hes a virgo - i get along so well with virgos, that and there my matching star sign..lol
So i figured i might as well get them both out the way and get the first date over with... im soo hoping at least one of them goes somewhere.... im getting pretty edgy these days LOL plus its a GREAT way to get over Rob and start looking forward in that regard.
I really am over it already though, and dont want to go on it anymore, but when i start work itll get even harder again to meet someone cos everyone HATEs going to the dentist, the last thing they think about it asking for my number..PML especially when i where a mask and glasses no one ever sees my face!
I need to get out more!! LOL
God its hot, Thank god for paddlypools. i have Ashs up almost permanently. He even goes in it at night before bed to cool down even when its cold as... i swear he's immune to anything cold! i dont do it on purpose, we just go outside and he climbs in, usually with his clothes on cos i turn my back for 30secs and hes in!! LOL

Hi everyone, long time no see!
I have a teething stick insect on my hands!:wall: Summer has 12 teeth and is now getting her eye teeth! She only got her molars over Christmas! She is costing me a fortune in clothes too!! She is almost to long for size 1 but too skinny to even hold up the pants!! (She's still under 9kg which is 25% on the graph for weight, but is 80cm long which is 90% on the graph for height!!). And her feet! OH! Size 4 but too skinny to keep the shoe on.
Hope everyone is going well. The heat is driving me mad at the moment. Thank goodness for aircon and thank goodness we finally sold our house after 8 months on the market!! Time to move to a house with more than 2 bedrooms! YIPPEE!!!
