Woohoo Catherine!Congrats - my smallest gap is just under 18mths and I found it a fine gap , I was sad though as it meant I was only able to breastfeed DD till she was 13mths (4mths pregnant) as she weaned due to lack of milk.
Just a quicky - Ari has started pulling up to stand - still very wobbly but OH SO cute!!I got a total of 3hours sleep last night as he was very upset (not sure why) so I am off to bed now.
CM - That is wonderful news, congratulations! DH and I have only just decided to start trying for number 2 ourselves. Sending you losts of .
Sorry I don't have time to do personals, Will has a virus (turns out that is why he has been so clingy). Poor little bugger is off his food, runny number twos, vomiting, fluid in both ears and the list goes on....sorry if TMI.
Sorry for being so slack...AGAIN. Jake is now climbing what ever he can find and reach to **** his leg up on , things are certainly reaching a new level of busy in this house since little man got mobile a few months ago! We've got an appointment in Feb (!!!!) with the Paed surgeon, I'm a little annoyed as by then he'll be almost 1 and I'd hoped to get it over and done with ASAP. On the home front things are going well, improving every day. Dh has cooked twice this week!!!
Catherine, I'm so very excited for you! And I'm surprised at myself...I don't feel the least bit clucky at all. It's always a little scary expecting a new baby, thinking about having another person to look after and love You will be fine! People used to always stare at me (in the small town we lived in!) and I'd always get asked how do I do it. I just did, I didn't know any other way, YK? I guess it's like having twins (lol.....which you could be!) you just do what you have to and when it's your first time you don't know any other way. I think it helped SO much that Ben was my little champ, just like Flynn is. Such an easy going baby. And as you will find, it's just a whole new world being pg when you have other children! It's easier if you aren't suffering with MS but it's definitely harder! Having said that though I did find it easier being pg when I had a baby still, you still get time when they are sleeping during the day to just rest yourself. It was much harder being pg with a 2 & 3 y.o running around! It's such another adventure creating another little life. You know you always have all of us here for a sympathetic ear! I hope the MS stays away for you.
Macca, that's awful...poor will Hope he picks up soon. Glad the mush is going well and congrats on the 12kg! And how exciting TTC for you too!! Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you to have an announcement soon
Luey, 10 teeth in 3 days!! WOW! that must have been rough on you both. Glad the reflux is going ok. how come you are expressing?
Stacey...Jake is a skinny bub too, although he's not long and lean, just small and lean . We are still at about 68cm and 7.5 kg, not a sign of a fat roll either. considering he is bfing around 4-5 times a day and eating 3 main meals plus two snacks I dunno where it's all going!
Hi Andie, Nina (CONGRATULATIONS!!!), Reenie....have you deserted us???, Jo, hope you enjoy your holidays, Hayley (do you want those IB boosters?? Sorry they are large...LMK) and Nic
I just want to say that I am so incredibly lucky to have you ALL. Whether you know it or not you have ALL helped me out in some way at some time and I feel so very lucky. For different issues/problems/questions there has always been at least one of you who has completely understood and had experience with it. So thankyou, you are all beautiful women I am completely blessed to have in my life
OMG OMG OMG! Catherine! What fantastic news! Have to say though, I'm not that surprised, I had a feeling this was going to happen. by the billions to you! I'll text you in later.
Sorry I have been so slack in posting lately.I'm good though, still going well and still haven't even had a bad day.All is good, all is 'normal'.
Bit of a nightmare weekend though....Sam had a cold and got his 3rd tooth.I scraped the car on a brick wall on Saturday, estimate about $4000 to fix. It was pouring with rain and I guess I just over estimated the turn.Then when I was on my way back into the house I slipped and did a Britney almost dropping Sam, managed to save him but have the mother of all bruises on my shin.After that I changed Sam's pooey nappy only to discover he wasn't finished and he pooed all over MIL's bed and my hand.Finally had him clean and he decided to wee too.Went to the toilet and discovered AF.Joy!Just one of those days.
Sam isn't crawling yet, maybe he never will? He tries to, the just cracks it.HE has been getting really into solids lately but still drinking as muck Breast milk as ever.Still biting occasionally, managed to make my other nipple bleed yesterday.Little bugger.I love BFing though, so stopping isn't what I want to do.I'll just ride it out.
Ooohh, I have my first two births as a trainee Doula booked! One for April and one for early July! Ages away but gives me time to prepare and I should have finished all of my theory by then.
So everything is good here! One thing though...Why can't all of you live in Melbourne? I wish I could meet all of you face to face.I'm thinking next year I might take Sam away for a couple of weekends while Tony is away and come a meet some of you guys!
Bec, That's a long time to wait to see the surgeon.Poor little Jake.Hope he's not in too much pain. Thank you for what you wrote last post about all of us, you know we all feel the same about you.
Sam just woke up.BBL later to do the rest of the personals.
Laura that is great news about having two births booked!! What does that mean for you? are you there 'in-training' with another Doula? You'll be able to help Catherine out! And anyone else who falls pg Glad to hear all is going well generally, despite a crappy weekend
**OMG DH left his sander inside, just wondered what that noise was and found Jake sanding the polished floorboards!!**
Did you say you'd posted the BL's?? I haven't received anything..... No problem if you haven't, no hurry Oh and on the Berry Plush's.....meh...I'm not too taken with them yet. They are ok but seem too big on Jake yet. Look cute with the plush colours but that's it. No leakeage or anything, just too big I think. I'd be happy to send you one to test if you want?
Robbo, sorry about the large booster.....I didn't think until I went to get them out and saw they were large. You must be sewing up a storm!
Still house hunting here, very over it too. Think we've decided on a town which is an hour away but much more affordable. DH has some family there and his grandparents lived there so he spent time there as a child. got the mobile lender coming tonight to talk more -in -depth about finances. Joy.
