Hi ladies,

Just a quick one. i promise I'll do a longer post with personals when I have a bit more time. Amy put on 470g this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. She hasn't put on that much since she was born!! And last week she only put on 90g!! I'm sooooooo happy. My little munchkin is finally putting on good weight. Well, just had to share. Am going to visit a friend who has a newborn too. Hope your day is going well. Luv Nik and Amy xx

Hi everyone!!!

Sazz: That's great to hear that Celeste is sleeping through. Bodie has been pretty good aswell lately, just as long I feed him the 10pm feed he usually wakes about 4 or 5am.

Nik: Woo hoo for Amy putting on 470g!!! Thats' great news. Good on her. Sounds like your over the moon Oh and you've got me into going to the gym now hehe. Have gone twice this week and have been walking for an hour a day. It's hard work i've gotta say! But thought i'd better do it with the wedding coming up and everything.

Well hope everyone has a very HAPPY EASTER, hope the easter bunnie is good to you all!!!
Just think soon we'll be able to give our lil ones easter egg hunts! Can't wait!

April & Bodie xo

Go Amy!!! That's fantastic news Nik. You must be so pleased with that gain. It is so reassuring hey? So now she is still ahead of Celeste... she put on 445g this fortnight which is good for her: now 4.45kg

Great work April with your exercise. Im walking for at least a half hour a day plus doing leg lifts etc for my ab strengthening. Cant do rear leg lifts on my tum yet cause of the caesarian scar but saw the doc today and he says everything is great and going as it should. He was pretty pleased to hear Im doing it all too.

Jess, woo hoo on DTD. You go girl hehe. Funny how it seems so much more interesting for a single gal to anounce it than the partnered ones. Wierd. I havent gone that far yet with DH doing lots of shift work but wont be long. Nothing to worry about here with a c-sect delivery, just BF hormones to combat.

Jo and Bindy, I looked at your pics today! Both Sophie and Madeleine are BEAUTIFUL! I cant believe how much they have grown and changed in the pics too. This time is really flying by. I am totally freaked out how fast Celeste has grown up already. She had her 8wk needles today and is so alert and chats and checks out the world. Her new big achievement is she can hold onto a toy or teething ring for a bit now. Just found that out yesterday. I was so proud hehe.

Hi Maz, hope everything went really well for you and Mat today at the appointments. A big day out for you and stressful too but over with by now I guess.

Happy easter to everyone! We are going to adelaide on saturday to get Celestes pixi photo done and shopping for a new car. Going the family wagon instead of our teeny hatch. Expensive but looking forward to being able to fit more than just the pram in the back.

Oh, one more thing: Celeste is understandably sad this arvo after having her jabs and she has decided that she does want a dummy after all. She has never taken one before but it is helping her to settle in her bed right now so now I know it will work if I get desperate some other time.

Ok, going now.... byyyyeeeeeeeee

[_JeSs_]

hope everyone has a happy easter too, though i will prob be on here on the weekend anyway!!

sazz - LOL yer it is hey, weird, i feel like i shouldnt be doing it cuz im single with a baby.. was a bit weird ahh its not as if it was just some random lol hes like my best mate

[~Belinda~]

Jess, you go girl! HEHE....well I hope everyone has a great Easter!!

[sazzafrazz]

DH is watching "I am Sam" on telly. I can't watch it. It is just tooooo sad. Made me cry BEFORE having Celeste. I know I just cant handle it now I am a parent. Good movie but too sad for softy sazz hehe.

Celeste is still asleep from my post earlier. We had roast lamb for tea, did the dishes, watched telly, made a few thankyou cards (still getting pressies!) and she is still in there snoring! I will have to wake her around 10.30 to feed again I think, so she can go all night again YAY!

Hmmmm what else can I do while I'm trying to avoid that movie???

[Billy Ocean]

C'mon Jess, surely you can take ONE DAY OFF SHOPPING!

Hi all! No way I can catch up with all of you. Although, I might say, there weren't as many pages as I'd thought there might be!

Nik - great about Amy's weight!

Sazz, awesome about Celeste sleeping through the night.

Jo, did you get those links working? (haven't had time to look yet)

Jess - GOOD FOR YOU!

Hi Bindy, hi April!

Maz, hope you survived Melbs yesterday. Will catch you next time or will come up soon. Did you get my text?

Billy's doing great. He weighs 4670g now and is 59cm long. He's 8 weeks old, yesterday - same as Sophie! Can't believe it hey Jo! Been out all day so he's a bit cranky but finally gone to sleep. Thank god the heat is over!

Hey, whatever happened to Loren? Mel too - haven't heard from her. There were others as well. Oh well. Maybe they'll drop in again.

Gotta go do some stuff but be back later!

Love to all.

Hi everyone

Hope you have all had a good easter!!

Love Bindy and Madeleine xx

[sazzafrazz]

Blimey it's quiet in here!

Hope everyone had a good easter. We didnt do anything for easter. DH got me an egg but I didnt get him anything: we dont usually. My parents and brother both got Celeste a little stuffed rabbit but we didnt get her anything at all. I dont really get into the commercialism of easter.

We went to adelaide on saturday looking to get a new car and most places were closed. We got our pixi photos done and Celeste cried the whole time! The whole day was awful actually. I'm putting it down to the immunisations on thursday for her fussiness on the w/end. We did get a couple of nice pics but nothing of her smiling and I had made sure she was changed/fed/burped and ready to play!!! She was really cranky all day. Not sleeping or feeding well at all but by today she is back to her normal happy self.

Celestes routines are changing again I think. She is having longer awake times and longer sleeps. She needs a top up feed before a sleep now again too. Hmm these babies are hard to keep up with! Soooo happy: she has learned to hold a toy in her hand now (briefly) and will reach out and touch her cloth books etc. Very pleased with herself too I might add.

Gawd, I had to get new bras and there was only one pair in the whole shop that fit me: I am now an F cup!!!!! ****! AAARRRGGGHHH. Will have to phone a specialist place for enoromous gazoombas to get more hehe. Wonder how small and floppy I will get when I stop feeding? For those who have stopped, did you go right back to your old size? How different were they afterwards?

Going to check out a new car this arvo when DH gets home... very exciting even though it is a wagon hehe.

Bye for now: hope everyone is going great.

Sazz & Celeste

my boobs went down about half a size, thats about it! and not saggy or nething HEHE

[Mad Scientist]

Hi there!!

Having a pretty good day today. Amy is pretty much just feeding and sleeping. I'm getting a few things done which is a relief. I actually vacuumed her room while she was sleeping and she didn't stir one bit! The place looks much nicer now. It was starting to gross me out hehehehe. We didn't do much for easter either. It was nice to have DH home though.

Jess - glad your mum's 50th was fun. I know what you mean about people asking about easter and what you did for your bub. Really, if they thought about it, what a stupid question!! Hehhehe. although it's a good excuse to buy an easter choc for yourself and say it was for Jaylen.....hehehheeh.

Sazz - sounds like Celeste is growing up quickly. Bummer she was grizzly for her photos. Amy's growing up really fast too. She's interested in her toys now and will hold onto something if you put it in her hands (very briefly too). She smiles a lot and I'm sure she'll laugh soon, which will just blow my mind I think. This stage is so much fun. she's holding her head up almost all the time but it's still a bit wobbly. When I hold her, she grabs my top and if she feels like she's falling she'll pull herself closer to me. It feels like a proper cuddle! So cute. I'm not feeding much now and my bb's have gotten a fair bit smaller but they aren't back to what they used to be (I was TINY). They're a little saggier but not extreme....good luck with finding big gazoonga bras! Heheheheh. hope the car hunting goes well!

Have a great afternoon ladies. Am going to go do some more tidying. It never ever ends....xxxx Luv Nik and Amy

[_JeSs_]

god we are so quiet in here!
nik, glad amys going well!

i put new pics of jaylen on my site, have a look if anyone has time, im so in love with the lil stunner haha! im going to look at peoples photos now, no idea what everyones bubs look like now hehe!!
