Hi guys, just been lurking as I dont have alot of time lately for much of anything (hence why my house looks like the local garbage tip!).
We're ok, could be better. Some days I wonder why I had another one when my first was at the easy and independent stage now, but mostly I just cant wait for this baby stage to be O-V-E-R. Jett completely spoilt us by being an awesome, easy going baby - although Ripley is lovely he is needy and cranky which adds about 10 extra hours onto my day *sigh* I think he might have reflux or colic or something because he has some beautiful moments and periods (like right now) where he settles/sleeps fine and I can have a life, but mostly its waaaaaaaahwaaaaaaaaaaaaah even though he's fed, changed, burped, hugged etc etc He also makes choking sounds, esp after a feed, like he's brought something up and swallowed it back down. He is cute though and I just love him. He's gotten so big already, a month old tomorrow
Just a little woohoo for me - tomorrow Ripley will be 4wks old and is also the point where I gave up b/feeding Jett and switched to formula full time. This time - no formula has been used and b/feeding is still going great gunsIm so happy. I just wanted to make it this far and I have, even though its been real tough.
Hope everyone else is having a good day! Id better go have some lunch and Im making a lasagne for dinner so I need to get cracking on that while its quiet on the front
ETA - Im currently sitting at my pre preg weight (60kg) and am thinking of trying to lose another 5kgs but Im not too stressed, apparently I look fabulous for 2 kids under 2 (I get sick of people saying it too me, like its horrible if you dont?) What they dont see if the stretchmarks and cottage cheese thighs, I didnt escape completely unscathed. My friend and I are starting at the gym next week to try and tone up a bit - we're hopeless slackers so we're thinking we'll be able to motivate each other. Im considering pole dancing classes but it would mean Id have to express and leave a bottle for Rip with Dh, atm expressing isnt going so great. I have 80ml frozen in the freezer so far, from two attempts at expressing. I figure by the time the kids 3mths I'll have enough for 1 night out
