Babies Born July 2007 #17

Thanks ladies for you thoughts about the amount of food.

Jack has been on solids for about 3 months now. And he is 10kg too, and moving around heaps. He does laps in his walker around the house, so from what you have all said how much your babies are eating and how much they weigh, I'm thinking it's not too much. He is just a big active boy, who needs his food

Well all i can say is thank god yesterday is over! We didn't end up getting home till about 2 am and silly me had enjoyed numerous ****tails and wines!! In the morning Lucas' cereal made me dry reach (sorry TMI!) and i had to run to the loo! Felt like i was 18 again...very tragic! Anyway i had a tuppaware party in the afternoon and can you believe i got breath tested on the way! Have never been so scared my heart was racing....plus i was in DH's work ute with the ladder hanging out the back, looked so classy! So to cut a long story short......not drinking for a long, long time!!! TOO OLD!!

Good morning girls,

Megan you crack me up!! lol I can't remember the last time I had a hangover, but I don't miss them!! Hope you're feeling better today.

Well we bought a boat last week, haven't been out on it yet because we don't have a licence Think DF is going to get his this week though. We bought Oliver a little life jacket ($90!!!!!!!!!!) but of course well worth it. It is one of the ones that flip them straight onto their backs, touch wood!! He will only come on the boat when we go in the river though - wouldn't take him out to sea. Actually I won't even be going out to sea, I get sea sickness!!!

It was really hot here on the weekend, got up to 42!! I spent most of the day alternating between the air-con and the pool. Oliver still isn't that keen on the pool. I bought him his own little floaty thing to sit in with a shade cover but he screams when I put him in it. He is fine if one of us holds him really close. I really should look into swimming lessons for him. Lexxen goes so next time we are there I think I will ask all about it.

Still no teeth here but I can see 3 of them. His cheeks are really rosy as well so maybe they will cut through soon. The reflux is a lot better now. I think cutting out the yoghurt has helped too. Poor little thing is trying so hard to crawl but can't quite get his knees up. He ends up going backwards and is getting very frustrated by it all!

We are going to one of my best friends engagement party this weekend. It is formal so we (actually I - DF hates the idea of it) have had a lot of fun picking out clothes. I actually bought my dress off ebay for $16.90 brand new!!! I was a bit worried that it might not fit cause silly me didn't realise it was only a size 8 until after I won but luckily it is stretchy so it fits quite well. I have lost 17 kilos since I gave birth Another positive of breastfeeding!!! It is really beautiful - a black grecian style ****tail dress. I took DF shopping yesterday and scored some great bargains for him too. He's going to look very spunky!!!

Anyways, hope everyone is well. I'm off to do some major cleaning while Oliver is asleep, the house gets so messy on the weekends when the boys are home.

Take care everyone.

Raels and Oliver. xo

Hi girls! This may not be a long post as Tom has just woken up. I am hoping he will go back to sleep because he hasn't been down for long and he only had a short sleep this morning because i had to wake him up for swimming. His day sleeps have been crap over the past few days! How long is everyone else's bubbas sleeping for during the day?

Hope you had a good time Sat night Megan. That's a bit funny about the breath test. I get so so nervous when I get tested, even though I have never driven even after one glass of drink so I don't know why! Urgh to the hangover - I hate hate hate hangovers - they are the main reason why i don't drink alot, i just cant cope the next day.

Raels - that is so exciting about your dress - what a great bargain! i should look on ebay more for clothes for me, i mainly just buy things for Tom. i can't believe you have lost 17kg - that is amazing! i don't envy you having hot days. It was quite cold here all weekend and although we couldn't get out of the house it was quite nice to spend the days in front of the heater.

Sara - how did the wedding go? How cute is it that you matched Katelyn to your DH? I do stuff like that.

Mel - I asked my sister about how much your Jack is eating. She has her own Jack and he was about the same size at this age and was eating about the same amount. He is 4 now and is not 'fat' or large or anything, just a normal sized kid - super amounts of energy - so don't stress out to much about how much your Jack is eating. It sounds right for him.

Well, I don't think i filled you all in with what happened with my job. The emailed this morning and said they wanted me to come back full-time only, which i am not willing to do, so the big job hunt is about to begin. It may be asking too much but i just want to find somewhere that only needs me for 2 days a week, with me also being available to them over busier periods such as xmas etc. Probably wont be able to find anything, but i am going to try!
We have had a rough couple of days here with Tom. I don't know if its his medication hasn't kicked back in properly, but he is fighting being fed solids. He has learnt how to hit the spoon out of my hands so i have to try and feed him and keep his hands down with the other hand. Very difficult! I thought he might have been in pain but I realised today when i was giving him fruit which he loves he ate it really well, whereas if I am giving him veggies, he cries and carries on. He is also showing signs of having a very bad temper. He is getting a bit frustrated with his crawling, he can get up on his hands and knees but he goes backwards, not forwards. So if he wants a toy or something and can't reach it, he throws an absolute wobbly until we get it for him. DH said it is my temper showing through, but its making me a bit worried. Sorry for having a bit of a sook - i love my little man and he is terrific most of the time, i just feel like the past few days, I have been banging my head on a brick wall and I am tired!!

Hope everyone else is well. I know i have missed out on personals but from the banging and crashing coming through the monitor, someone has no intention of going back to sleep. He has just started growling like a dog..
