Babies Born March 16th - 31st 2008

I was wondering what a bump was too glad Andie asked to stop me looking like a goose...oh wait lol!
Thanks Bec, I PM'd my email. Bummer about AF. I think I had a two day reprieve...my lochia finished and 2 days later AF started and that was about 8 weeks so annoying. I wasn't sure if it was AF tho given that I was and still am exclusively BF so I went and saw the GP and she sent me for an ulstrasound just to be on the safe side and they found I have poly-cystic ovaries. So today I had a blood test to make sure I don't have PCOS, which I'm pretty sure I don't have (according to my self diagnosis!!) and really don't want!!! About 2 weeks ago I was very much wanting to be pg again but I'm back to my senses now and am happy to wait a bit and make the most of Flynn!!!
I have finally gotten Flynn out of the bassinet in our room and into the cot in his room. It is going pretty well except it is VERY cold getting OUT of bed for the night feed Oh well at least it is only once and I am getting about 5 hrs before and 4 hrs after! Can't complain about that.
I went shopping today and while I was in BigW looking for breast pads (which I couldn't get) I had a look at the racks of reduced clothes. They had these cute little (baby)fleecy hood (with ears) jackets...for $2!!! They didn't have any 00 so I got a 0 which is ridiculously large but I couldn't not buy it...it was $2, can't resist a bargain
Anyway I think that's all I have to share
Hope you are all well

Hi all,

So that's what a bump is huh? Yup, told ya ... !

Am currently trying to get my son to sleep - given that he had nearly four hours from 1pm onwards, I shouldn't be surprised that's he's not settling easily tonight. Luckily it's just grizzling more than actual crying. But I can tell he's slowly on the way out. Pretty rare for us as normally he conks out as soon as he's put to bed. Oh well, he wouldn't be a baby if he didn't grizzle now and again at bedtime.

Wanna know something funny .... I'm beginning to think Cam is saying 'mum'. Of course, it comes out more like 'uuuummmmm' but it COULD be mum, right?
Yeah, yeah ... I know, I'm just hearing things! AS IF he's saying mum ... he's not even three months old. Still, sure sounds like 'muuuum' when he's grizzling

Speaking of the little devil, I can hear him grizzling for 'muuuummmmm' right now. So much for being 'on the way out". Sigh!

Have a good night all,
Andie

LOL Andie I could be Mum.....whatever keeps you happy

Catherine, what a bargain! Glad it;s going well with Flynn in his room.

I just have to share ladies (and please don't hit me, ) that OMG, OMG, OMG, Jake just slept through! The whole night! I fed him at 8pm and he just woke up at 7am!!! I"ll bet it doesn't happen again though......

hi girls,

Bec: yay for Jake sleeping so long, i have a feeling i wont be bragging about James sleeping through for a very long time ! but he has learnt to giggle to that is very cute ! as far as thinking about number 4.....i think you know when you are done and it dsoesnt sound like you are ! just have to talk DH around

Andie: what a clever boy Cam is learning to say muuummm already hehe enjoy your weekend away !

Catherine: i hope you dont have PCOS, i have it and it isn't great fun ! when will you get blood test results ?

James is unsettled tonight (nothing knew there ! although he was good for a few nights there sleeping 7 hours straight from around 7pm but he has given that up again ! doh !) hopefully we have an ok night. Emily is getting better, no fever now, had some vomiting and general lethargy, so far we have avoided it !

we are supposed to be putting floorboards down in the living area this weekend (the carpet is trashed from spills etc) but dont think it will be happening now as DH has been sick, i would prefer carpet because it feels cosier to me but floorboards (fake ones) will be more hygenic for now !

Andie- I hear Espen's cries as "muuummm" too! I told my H and pointed it out to him a couple of times and funnily enough he can't hear it!

Hi gals,

Ren - I swear to God, the more I hear it, the more it sounds like 'muuuummmm'. My DH has actually said to me a few times 'Cam's calling for you'. Goodness only knows, but I reckon our boys have got mum sussed .

Am keeping this quick, so will catch up with personals early next week. Got a gazillion things to organise/clean/pack before our long weekend getaway to the Goldy starts tonight (hopefully 15 mins after DH gets home).

But just wanted to state here and now that as of Tuesday (AFTER the long w'end) ... I'm gonna try and shape up a bit and lose approx 8kg to get back to my pre-conception weight. I'm 80kg now and used to hover around 72kg - a healthy weight for me. Before I fell pregnant I was probably 76 or 77kg - I got a bit lazy after moving to Brissie late in 06. But since I've had Cam I've been eating waaayyyy too many scotch finger biscuits and chocolate bars during the day! Plus cups of tea with one sugar! I never ever used to be like this, and I've worked out that the only reason I'm doing it, is cos no one's here to see !! And I need to get out and walk like I used to!

So, from Tuesday I'm going to cut out the crap and start walking again. Note, I didn't use the 'D' word ... I don't believe in D's - just healthy (er) eating.

Wish me luck, cos I'll need it. My willpower sucks where sugar is concerned.

Gotta go ... feeding time at the zoo and lots to organise.
Have a fab long weekend.

Hi Girls!
Andie: it sounds like Flynn says mmmmmmuuuuuuum when he gets really upset too. My DH actually pointed it out to me!! It's so cute and makes me feel very important!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend. I'm super motivated to loose my baby kgs too. My gym membership started up again today so I'm psyched for a body combat class tomorrow morning and I'm going no matter what! I don't care if Flynn wakes me 5 times tonight I'm still going!! Can't wait to have those exercise hormones rushing around and making me feel great! Hope your healthier eating goes well
Bec: Congrats on Jake sleeping thru, what a champ! I hope it is not a one off! Flynn is averaging about 6-7hrs and has done 8-9 once or twice. I can't really complain about nighttime sleeps which is great. One of the mums at MG is still up till 2 and 3am with her bub I'd have given Flynn back by now if he was still like that!!
Melinda: That sucks that you have PCOS . I should find out sometime next week. I'm really hoping that it's all normal. I don't have any of the symptoms except that I'm on the heavy side, but if I eat well and exercise I can shift it pretty easily, so I think I'm going to be pretty shocked if it comes back with something no good.
DH has been hijacked by my brother for the weekend. He is doing an engine swap on bro's car. Thankfully he is doing it here so it's not too bad. Thankfully Flynn enjoys sitting outside with daddy while he's working on cars so hopefully the weather is not too bad and he doesn't need to be in with me all day. Hope you all have a wonderful (long??) weekend.
