hi everyone,
Raining here too on the Gold Coast - windy like crazy last night - you too Ren??
BTW Ren - will PM you shortly about meeting up!
No school for Logan today - teachers strike - I am all for it myself - they deserve more!
So nice day so far. Amara is sleeping and settling so nicely about 99% of the time. I still have not gone over to sleeping bags yet however, still she is wrapped but only very lightly now and often she gets her hands out herself.
Hey Orangefeather, congrats on the loss of the half kilo!! while eating chocolate! he, he, good on ya! I have lost a little more too, despite NO running for a week, cycling instead. BUT today I went out running and my calf feels HEAPS better and more to the point, MY SANITY is back - when running daily has been your life for 10 years, it is hard to go without it!
what is Wii fit? sounds interesting - please explain!
Di's girl - Yes, Amara is very keen to sit up also most of the time! I am going to get rid of my second hand pram now as Amara is now sitting up in the Baby Jogger, looking around.. And Jared is 4 months already? wow..
Runner, have you not seen the ads on tele with Olivia Newton-John doing hula hooping and yoga? That's the Wii Fit. It's a video game, but it gives you a work out if you want it to. You even get your own personal trainer I worked up a real sweat yesterday doing rhythm boxing and yoga. I love the step classes too. The hula hooping is a real laugh too It also keeps track of your weight and BMI
Yay, Jared sat up by himself for over 30 seconds today!!!

Hi everyone
Well, we seem to be getting into a bit more of a routine here, Owen is sleeping better during the day and I've found myself waiting for him to wake up, lol.
Just wondering whether you girls who have stopped wrapping are using sleeping bags or are wrapping from the waist down? I've been experimenting with one arm wrapped and one arm unwrapped during the day and completly wrapping him at night. Have people found they settle well in sleeping bags or ok just wrapped from the waist down? I'm planning only to have his arms out during the day for the next week or so and after that seems ok will try him at night (very nervous about it).
Wow you've all bee busy chatting up a storm in here!
Soph - Glad to hear bubs is on the improve
Orange - Congrats on the weight loss!!
Runner - Good to hear the calf (and your sanity!) are back
Shellsie: - Ella never like being wrapped from about 5 weeks so i didnt even bother - she is now in a grobag (has been for the last 4 weeks) and it is THE best investment i have made - i still contribute her sleeping through (10-12hrs over night) to the grobag because she is nice and toasty and although she does startle herself, she self settles very quickly - HTH
AFM: I can't believe Ella is 4 months today - it is going by so fast! - We had her nurse appt today and she is my little boomba bubba - 7.3kg and 63.5 cm. nurse told me her teeth are "moving" under the gums and she reckons they will start erupting in the next 2-3 months - my poor bb's when that happens!!
Great news! (for me anyway ) Finally getting the internet this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be so so so glad to get back on here...
Briefly read up on on some of the updates;
Ella: Sounds like your bub is like my little chunka! Weighed him four weeks ago and he was 6.9kg!! Only knows how much he weighs now but i am struggling to hold him for long periods of time thats for sure! Thanks the loed for prams I say!!
Orange: Congrats on your weight loss! I have no idea how I did it but I have lost all my baby weight! I only just recently started walking regulary so I was very lucky. 72kg back to 55kg..i was all full of fluid I was!
Caiden is all sorts of weird and wonderful. He does alot of stopping and starting in his development. Starded rolling onto his side and even sleeping on his side quite early on but as only mastered actually rolling over completely by himself once. But I am in no rush! He has just begun absoloutly laughing in hysterics. We have had plenty of smiles and giggles..but his laugh omg! Very precious...He loves standing up on our laps thought he will stand for half n hr straight and get cranky if we sit him down! HIis going to be one of those terrors that ru and never stop I can tell hehe
Anyway..SO much looking forward to being back online this weekend
Yay Caiden'smummy it's great to see you back
I have a boomba too I can't hold Jared for long periods of time - he was 8.3kgs a week and a half ago! We've had to stop calling him 'chunk' though because Ben started calling him that and we don't want it to stick as a nickname
Yay, Jared slept from 9pm last night until 5am this morning!!! Then he went straight back to sleep until 9am. It was wonderful!
