:lol: Thats funny how we all want some new ones!!!
Em - I am with you. I think mine are smaller than an A cup too. I am in a B cup now, the used to fit 2 weeks ago when I first bought it! I am waiting a few more weeks and then going to go get fitted properly, that will be interesting!
Mel - good on ya!! How much you have to loose - 6kg hey? I weighed myself this morning again and was pleasantly surprised. I cant believe how nicely it is coming off! I say to Jason that I want to lose another 3-4kg (would love 5kg!!) and then I will go on the pill BUT I said if I start puttng on weight and I cant keep it off, I will be off it and its back to using condoms (which we hate!) and trying to time it so I DONT get pregnant.
Jem - yes surprise surprise that DH is also keen!! Have you been in your 12kg run or is that still a week away?
Sarah - what sort of car you have bought?? Gosh, I wish I could fly over to another state to buy a car and drive it home!! WAY too far to drive tho..
I made a real good dinner tonight. Bacon and egg pie (I have steamed vegies with mine, I am really in to my steamed vegies these days!!) And I also made a tiramasu (sp) that is sitting in the fridge waiting to be eating tomorrow!! Sunday is my treat day and I am soooooooooooooo hanging out for tiramasu, dont ask why!!!
Avaleigh fed herself tonight. I tried feeding her but she didnt want to take any, so I left her the fork and spoon and she started feeding herself!! Looks like the fun(MESS!) begins over here. Are any other bubbas feeding themselves?
Well better go and get my lil one to bed!!

Hi Ladies
Hope your all having a lovely weekend.
The bugs are really flying around atm! I woke up again today with a super sore throat and sinuses, and ethan had to go back to the dr yesterday and his chest infection is back, and he caught conjunctivitis from my niece too so back on a pile of meds again so no doubt he will have thrush by the end of the week again. Hope all of you get better soon.
I want a boob job too!! LOL I was hoping they would get bigger after having ethan but they disappeared all together! Just not sure how many more bubba's we would like first :)
I was sooo proud of myself today, may sound odd but i cooked my first ever roast! and it turned out great WOOT!! A little over cooked but yummy. Theres is heaps left over too, it weighed 3kg.
V- Welldone on your weight loss :clap: Your How clever of avaleigh feeding herself. Ethan is not yet, if he was he would probably give it all to the cats! Its bad enough that he throws most of his finger foods at them and when it hits them he laughs! Enjoy your tiramisu tomorrow, yum! Oh and congrats on getting the night job.
Em- Lol at telling tom he will have too pay for a boob job :lol:
Jem- When i mentioned it to my dh he just grunted and said whatever!
Mel- Is jack staying out of the wars? Hows the TF diet going so far?
Sarah- Yay for the new car:clap: it is exciting isnt it. Enjoy.
Jo- Welcome back to you and michael! Glad that you are all well.
Nicky- How was your dinner out? Hope you had a nice time.
Raels- YAY OLIVER:dance: I got teary when ethan started. But theres no stopping him now :lol:
Well im off i am going to have a nice hot choc with a marshmallow or 10 lol and a slice of apricot pie with ice cream (baked today!) and then head off to bed. Night ladies :)

Hello Mummies & Bubs!
Just a super quick one from me (again) ;) I'm packing the last of my house today and moving tomorrow ARRRGGHHH!!!!!!!!
I won't be on for a couple of weeks I'd say. So I will catch you all when I'm back in action!!!
Bye for now :)
-
Hope the move goes well tomorrow Dani:) Goodluck with it all. Talk to you again in a few
weeks.
Just popped on for a quick read while waiting for dinner to finish cooking, and its ready so may pop back later.
Bye for now:)

Hi Ladies
Hope you all had a nice weekend. We went to Brisbane for my SIL birthday on the weekend and left Tayah at home with my parents. Was the first time we had left her for the whole night. I missed her so much but it was nice to have some time just to ourselves. And she was fine, she sees my parents almost as often as she sees me and DP so I dont think she missed us at all haha.
Hi to Jo and Michael welcome back.
Jan and Olimoo-WOOHOO on Liams and Olivers walking. Its so exciting when the
walking begins.
V- I am studying to be a primary school teacher at uni, I have 9 months to go. I totally understand your wanting for a boob job. I am constantly thinking about it too although Id be heading in for a reduction rather then implants. Congrats on the nightfill job and weight loss. What foods are you eating of a day and what exercise are you doing for the weight to be coming so nicely?
Sarah- How is Bayleigh feeling now? Is he getting over his cold?
Mel- How is the TF going for you? After a week on the celeb slim shakes I decided its back to just eating healthy and exercising for me. I was hoping the shakes would make the weight come off quicker but it hasnt been any quicker then before. And because I wasnt physically eating anything and just drinking the shakes I was constantly thinking about food and feeling really hungry.
Cant remeber who asked but Tayah has started feeding herself for about the last 3 weeks, wasnt really a chioce for us as she refused to eat unless she was able to use the spoon to feed herself.
TOJ- Hope you and Ethan are feeling better again soon.
Dani- How did the move go?
Nicky- Not long til the wedding now, you must be so excited. Not sure if I already said it but congrats on the BFP.
Hi to anyone I missed
-
Hi girls!
I am still alive! I feel like I have been gone for ages! We have moved again.....this time in with my parents until our house is built. Obviously not ideal but a good way to save money! They have a double story house so we have the top level to ourselves which is fine. Mum and dad are in New Zealand at the moment so we havent really experienced the whole "living together" thing yet. Hopefully it all works out, they are very easy going but i just hope Lucas doesnt do their heads in as he is SO BUSY, HE DOES NOT STOP!! Very cute but some quiet time would be good!!
Anyway i just wanted to check in as we only just worked out how to use the internet here!! I will try and catch up now!!
Oh and i am flat as a pancake too!!
-
Hey!
Gosh, I feel like my stomach is going to eat itself today. Not sure why as I dont normally get this hungry... Still got a while to lunch time.
Dani - I hope the big move goes all OK!
Em - I'll list what I eat!
Breakfast: porridge on workdays or scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on 1/2 piece of toast on days off work.
Morning snacks: banana, Mini brunchbar and almonds, apple
Lunch: any left overs from dinner with a huge salad
Afternoon snacks: yohgurt, fruit salad (melon, strawberries and kiwi fruit)
Dinner: some meat with a huge salad or steamed vegies
My aim is to eat as little carbs as possible as your body will burn the carbs before it gets to the fat, so I try to avoid potato, pasta, lots of bread etc
Right now with exercise I go for a 15 min walk with two dogs and then a 15 min run with my younger dog (this all at 5am in the morning!!) I then spend about 15-20 mins on my stomach
And then in the evening at about 7.30/8pm I go to the gym and right now I am doing 40-50mins worth of cardio.
When i start my night fillers job I want to keep my exercise up, but we will see how we go!! Dont want to wear myself out or anything but I LOVE exercising and staying fit cause its something that I can do by myself and I dont have a little one hanging off me :)
Why a reduction?! I guess I dont understand as I am small lol but if you do go in for a reduction you might want to go in for breast implants too cause my MIL when in for a reduction and 6 months later she doesnt like them cause they are still looking like they were! Going by the research I have done, I will be wanting to get implants PLUS a lift cause there is no point getting implants if they are still going to be sagging.
Megan - good luck with the living with the parents!! That thought has crossed my mind a few times but I dont think that Jason would go for it. We both want to move in the next year or so and I think moving back home is the best way to save money. And LOL I think we should start the 'Flat as a Pancake' club!!

Hey everyone,
Emma, the TF diet is going really really well. I would throughly recommend it to anyone. It's really easy to follow, I'm never hungry and I really enjoy what I'm allowed to eat. And in 6 days I have lost 1.3kg, so if I stay at this pace, I should loose about 6kg this month. That would be fantastic but I would also be happy with 4kg, so fingers crossed. It's not as strict as what the celebrity diet sounds. Supplement brk and lunch with either shakes or soups, and have a palm size protein with veges for dinner. You are also allowed 2 servings of fruit a day and can substitute 1 fruit for half choc bar, 5 wafers that you can top with avo and tomato which is what I do for added lunch. You can eat as much veges as you want as well as Diet Jelly, and diet softdrinks. I'm loving it.
V, you sound like you have turned into a health junky, good on you. I'm starting to get hooked again myself. When do you start the night fillers job?
Megan, I'm sure it will all be fine at your parents place. Sometimes Luke and I joke saying it would be fantastic to have a live in babysitter, lol. Enjoy the house to yourselves.
Jess, great to hear from you girl. How's the tummy coming along, I still haven't seem photos???? Hint hint hint, lol. Hope your taking it easy. Fingers crossed you have had no more bleeding or contractions. How's little Ethan going? Has he got an idea that there is a baby in mummies tummy?
Dani, good luck with the move.
Well as for us, we are good. Jack my poor little man is now getting his molars, he is a cross cutter like his big sister. They have been giving him such grief. Fingers crossed they poke through soon. And as for me, like I said to Emma, I have lost 1.3kg in 6 days, and really enjoying this diet. FIngers crossed it stays that way.
Anyway must be off to do the ironing.
Take care all.
-
Mel - Yes, I think I have turned in to a bit of a health junkie!! Its great tho, I love doing it. I think I will be starting the night fillers job next week, so trying to make the most of sitting at home. Its only 4 nights a week - tues, thurs, fri and sat - I am not going to have much of a weekend but doesnt matter cause we dont do anything at night! Well done on the 1.3kg loss in 6 days!! :cheer: You go girl!! :cheer: You'll loose what you want in no time :)
Hello to everyone! Hope you are all well in your part of the world
-
Ok im going to attempt personals but i dont think ill get very far but we'll see LOL
V- How's Avaleigh going with feeding herself??? B Boy has been feeding himself for abit now refuses to eat if we try to feed him these days... He does a pretty good job but still gets food everywhere LOL The other night i gave him bake beans and the lil bugger put a half full bowl on top of his head... I nearly died LOL
TOJ- How good are roast's? i try cook one atleast once a week... alot of people think they are hard but they really are easy.... 3KG that is HUGE.. Was it lamb, Beef or pork?????? roast lamb is the best .... :) Hows your pregnacy going? I cant believe your over half way already....
Dani- Hope the move went well and we look forward to hearing all about the new adventure whe you get back online....
Emma- Bayleigh is heaps better now but still has a runny nose that i cant get to stop :( I WANT SUMMER HERE.... I have never had so many colds before...
Megan- How long til your house is finished??? Good luck with living with your parents.... atleast you have your own space...
Mel- Congrates on the weight loss.. Great job...
Nicky- YAY the wedding is just around the corner how exciting..... Congrates on the BFP
Us- We are good trying to pack the house up see we are gunna try and start to move this weekend.. Thats if i can get into the new house to clean it in the next couple of days i really wanna clean the carpets and try and paint the kids rooms before we move furniture in there but i dont see me being able to paint....

Have a lovely night
Sarah

Sarah, pinching and biting we seem to be dealing with. We are slowing getting there though, we just say a firm "no" "hurt". Most the times it makes him cry, but he seems to be a sensitive boy, lol.
Just has just cut the corner of his first molar, the other 3 are trying to break through as well. So hopefully he will settle soon. I hate teething time.
-
Hi Ladies
Mel- Poor Jack i hope his molars are quick! I hate teething time too, we are having a break from it at the moment thank god. Lol the tummy is growing nicely! I will get some more pics on to ethans site tonight, i have them on the camera but have been slack in putting them up. No more bleeding or contractions so im happy. Ethan has just started lifting my top up and he blows raspberries on my belly and laughs. I am trying to teach him bubs name too and when he is in a snuggly mood (rare!) he will lay there and rub my tummy. Very Cute.
Sarah- We had pinching a little while ago, but he was not really aware he was doing it, he would just do it if i was holding him, i would just tell him he mustn't pinch and would put him down after 3 times, he would cry, but i think ethans a sensitive boy also. Biting has only just started, but im not suprised as ethans cousin is a bad one for biting and she constantly tries to bite him :( He has only bit me twice but again no reason he just does it out of the blue.
Okay i have to go ethans calling from bed and Dh has just got back from being out with his mates i will pop back before bed and finish off. Night for now.

Hey everyone
how is everyone?
I am a bit worried about Avaleigh's eating. I've posted here this morning.. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...g-worried.html
Tell me what you guys think and what I can do!!
BBL, going for a session at the gym now
-
V, just sounds like avaleigh is becoming more independant. I think you have done pretty well to be able to feed her until this age. Jack has been solo feeding now for a few months, it's messy, but he will just refuse to be fed my anyone but himself. Unless that is he gets fustrated he can't and will let you do it.
I would just let her do her own thing for a while and see where that takes the two of you. From memory Charlize refused to be feed by me from about 8-9months but she still is a very independant little girl.
But if it were me, I would just give her bit size peices of food, so she can pick them up herself and feed herself or you could try a spoon or fork. Jack loves to experiment with these. Hasn't mastered them yet but is getting pretty good and is pretty dam proud of himself when he picks a bit up with his fork and eats it, so cute.
-
V - sounds like Avaleigh is becoming Little Miss Independant to me as well. I agree with Mel, and just give her bite size pieces . The girls in your other thread have given some great advice too. Apparently at this age (according to my baby book) it seems like they eat hardly anything, compared to what they used to eat, but it just their bodies changing and needing less food than what they used to. She will definiately eat if she is hungry. Tom is a bit of a mixture, between wanting to do it himself but refuses to touch vegetables, so I serve up a plate of food, usually mashed vegies (not pureed) and pieces of meat, and while he is eating the meat with his fingers, I manage to spoonfeed some of the vegetables in there. He loves casseroles and things, and if you are worried about the amount of vegies she is getting, why don't you make up some rissoles and put lots of vegies in them. That way she can eat by herself. I made some the other day using chicken mince, and added in grated carrot, onion, zuchini and parsnip and Tom loved them. Good luck - I won't say don't stress - because if you are anything like me, you will be!
Hi to everyone else! Haven't got much time to post - I have come online to pay my car rego and I am stalling.. so much money - would rather spend it on new clothes :doh:. Hope everyone is well - everything is good here. Tom has now taken to walking everywhere on his knees. His poor little legs are so bruised because he is like a steam roller and goes straight over the top of everything, but he is surprisingly quick. And we have a biter too. It started yesterday - it seems he wants to taste everyone. It is generally either on our necks or stomachs, so I am thinking it is his version of a rather painful raspberry. Ok, must go pay this bill.. Bye for now!
-
Thanks Mel and Em for your thoughts. I guess I will just go with it and see how we go!! I told Jason that she hasnt eaten much and he thinks maybe she is a little unwell cause his tummy is 'funny'. So she is asleep at the moment so we will see how we go with lunch once she wakes up.
For weeks now I am been toying with the idea of buying a new car and I mean a NEW car with no or little km's on it. I know I can do it with my second job but I have decided to put the brakes on and be sensible!! I want to get out of some debt before I get some more debt!! So these are the goals I have set for myself..
1 - pay off atleast 50% of credit cards
2 - get the house refinanced
3 - save atleast 25% for breast implants
So they are my things I need to do before going and buy a nice new car!! I wonder what Jason will say when I tell him later.. I think he will be relieved!!
Better go and clean up after my lunch and make a coffee. Hope you are all great!!
-
Great goals V. I'm sure you will be able to achieve them in no time. And trust your instincts, at the end of the day you know best. Just see how she goes over the next couple of days.

Hi everyone,
I have nothing to say really, life is just same same at the moment, but thought I should just pop in and say a quick hi to you all. Liam's walking is coming along nicely, but other than that we have no new tricks. I have been really really bad with food today - bought a cherry ripe type chocolate bar from Aldi, then my neighbour went to target & bought a real Cherry Ripe (cos it was only 99c, so bargain), and then I got home & ate both of them. Which is partly because I'm so tired at the moment (thanks to regular & on-going overnight wakings), & I always eat more rubbish when I'm tired, but also partly because I seem to have no self control sometimes when it comes to sugar. The only good thing is that I went for a walk afterwards, for over an hour & with a couple of serious hills, so maybe got rid of a couple of mouthfuls. Actually, the really evil thing is that I think I could still eat more sugar. Why oh why can't I crave apples??
And I have a maybe dumb question about breast implants (but I've never thought about it before, so that's my excuse), and the question is what impact would implants have on BFing?? Cos this would be my biggest concern with them, I wouldn't want anything to impact my ability to BF until I knew I was done with this, but that's just me, not a judgement on anyone's choices.
And as always, Liam's crying, so gotta go. How does he always know when I'm on BB & writing a post???
