Jeepers! Everytime I get back on, its a madhouse!! So busy in here now!!

Welcome to Laurab and AllBoys!!! Welcome back Eli!
More boys eh. I am resigned to thinking I will be having nothing but girls on my side of the fence. Well at least I don't have to worry too much about getting peed in the eye hehe.
Btw for pics of my girls I have a blog- www.reeniescornerofthestar.blogspot.com

LauraB- Sorry to hear about PND. I was paranoid that I would get it after both my bubs, as I had some stressful times at home. Lucky for me I didn't. But about 3 months before I fell pregnant with Seraya I was on Lexapro. Found that helped ease my anxiousness and depression. Wanted to stop taking it because of baby and wanted to try therapy before I got dependant on drugs. Therapy helped me A LOT. But for everybody it is different. I understand that sometimes its more chemical, and sometimes it's just a matter of changing our perceptions, or sometimes its a bit of both. Either way, it can't be easy with a new baby to care for. So for you. If you ever need to vent, vent away. I know I have many times. It is nice to know, that even though we can't get together in person, we can jump on here and write our our frustrations, and that sooner or later, other mothers with similar aged bubs, read it and empathise.
I am the same age as you, and all of my friends except a few are party girls and single. I decided on the weekend to try and meet young mums in my area (Brisbane) and organise get togethers. I found mothers group up here was good, but the mothers were all a lot older then me, and I found it hard to relax with them. They were all very nice, but all they talked about were their kids. I don't want to offend anyone here, but I never want to be defined as just a house wife and mother. I like to discuss important world issues or even things that are happening locally. But these were the type of women, who live for their children. Which is lovely, but I like to strike a happy medium. So I have started a Facebook group for yummy mummys in Brisbane Hope it works out. Other then that, we are moving into a house in a few weeks and I will be hosting a playgroup there once a week. That way I can be in control of any threats to my toddlers allergies, and enjoy socialising in a more convenient and safe environment. Playgroup Australia is who I am going through.
On the poo front (moving right along ) Seraya poops every 2nd day like clock work. She is half Bfed and half formula fed. Simply because with a two year old and uni I just don't have the time to exclusively breast feed.
Seraya is a bit of a night owl like her parents. She generally sleeps 10-12 hours from midnight or 1-2am and onwards. Sleeps till lunchtime and then feeds, sleeps another few hours. Is awake around dinner time for a few hours until about 11-2am then goes to sleep for the long block. ALthough she is teething atm so her routine is a bit all over the shop.

Mel How is James going now that you have sourced the root of his fussiness? Hope you guys are doing better.

Andie Glad to hear Cam went well with the christening. So lovely that it was a nice day for you and your family. Would be nice to have something like that, a bit ceremonious. SInce after the wedding and birth(s) it seems we have to wait until our babies get married for anything exciting like that

Bec- Hope you guys are going well and Benji is better. How is BFing going?

Hello to the rest of the girls. Sorry I had to skim through as there was so much to catch up on! I am so busy atm. We are refurbishing our city apartment to sell it. Its kinda fun, doing up the kitchen and repainting etc. But its very time consuming to liase with all the tradesmen and meet them there and go back and forth and pick out tiles, and colours and light fittings. It is fun though. But very hard with toddler and baby.
Start Uni next week, which is exciting. Yet daunting with kiddies. My MIL volunteered to come over next week and babysit. I appreciate the offer, but I will die before I let her in my house. I know that sounds awful, but she will come in and re arrange furniture, do washing, and touch things she shouldn't. I have put quite an effort into building a small fort away from her and thats how I would like to keep it!

Hope you are all great!! xxoo
