wow it has been a long time since i have posted. the time seems to be on warp speed at the moment.
JB- sorry to hear about your ring i know just how u feel i took off my necklace about xmas time which had my engagement ring as well as my eternity ring for my 1st son and it has gone. i have searched everywhere, i was so upset.
Allyeria will be 6mths in 2 days and she doesn't seem to be my little bubba anymore she is rolling around everywhere, eating solids like a champ (finally) and pushing up to crawl position and rocking backwards and forwards. i got her ears pierced a few weeks ago she looks soo cute even her daddy thinks so after i surprised him with it done(he knew it was going to happen soon) my FIL thinks its barbarick but she handled it really well.
she is now wearing size 0 clothes which is sad cos some of the really cute dresses she has barely worn. she has 4 200-250ml feeds plus 1 tin of food a day. will get her weighed next tuesday when we go in for her needles.
sorry for the long post. sounds like all our little bubbas are thriving.
take care
treena
Kell i bet Ella starts walking early. (I saw the pics on FB.) Ella is so much like Maddi.
Maddi was sitting by herself at 5 months, crawling at 7 months & walking at 10 & half months.
Kodi is just so much more daintier than Maddi, that i don't see her crawling etc for awhile yet.
hey girls,
chelsea has just started sitting properly this week. she cant sit for AGES but sits upright and can re-balance herself if she is falling sideways. she still wobbles over though. i reckon she will be crawling early too as she can get around by pushing and pulling herself (grabbing onto the carpet, toys, cushions etc) and rolling. she is gonna be full on!
her second tooth came through and i was hoping for a break but i think tehre is another one on the way. i hate the teething stage!
happy 6months ella! and allyeria (in a day or so)!
wow, allyeria is growing really well, size 0 already! chelsea is starting to slim down/ not gain as fast. just like hannah did. she is now in the 50th percentile for weight (was previously in the 90th) so i am just waiitng for the GP to get worried and want extra weigh ins. i wish i had chubby bubbys, less to worry about!
i have been getting back into the gym, leaving the girls in the creche there. chelsea screams her head off most of the time i am told. which is wierd cause she is usually pretty good with strangers. i think its her teeth hurting her. havent bloody lost any weight yet though! frustrating. i am wondering if it has somethign to do with a side effect of my contraceptive device.
No more babies on the horizon for us anytime soon. Between going overseas and then moving, new job, new town, new house, I think we'll be waiting til everything settles down. I'm thinking a 2 1/2 to 3 year age gap would be good.
How long have you been going to the gym Hollo? My mum has recently started eating alot more healthy food and going walking a few times a week and she was really frustrated at first and then started to lose a few hundred grams a week, and now she's lost more than 7kg. Make sure that you are having small snacks to keep your metabolism going too.
well i havent been going frequently enough really. i do need to keep an eye on my food intake too. its just so hard. got my 10 year reunion on next month, and being 10-15kg overweight is the only downer about going! but then again, i'm sure everyone isnt as skinny as they used to be in highschool.. well i hope not anyway LOL
i am planning on going at least 3 times a week from next week! funny how it always starts from 'tomorrow' or 'next week' LOL
You remember how I said I would never run out of petrol again. Last night, 10pm, middle of nowhere with no phone credit. Ughhh becoming a parent really doesn't make you anymore responsible, just more accountable.
I've started walking everyday, Hollo and am feeling fantastic! I always find it hard to get out the door but once I'm in the midst of it, I don't want to stop! You can do it!!! I haven't lost any weight because I eat too much stuff that I shouldn't but I do feel better for it, so I guess that is a plus. I have my 5yr reunion next year but not sure I am going to bother going haha.
Happy 6 Months to those coming up for it. Imogen has hers in 5 days! Scary to think.
Nice to hear from treena217. I know what you mean by time going extremely fast. I went into my work place so the crew could meet Tirion and my boss wants me back full time! I want to go back part time next year - he has no choice about it really as it is in the nurses award. Anyway it made me really value my precious time left with bubs. Wish someone would leave me a fortune!!!!
As for TTC Mo - the jury is out for now - so many pros and cons and too wise of years to rush the decision - but would love to have one more!
Hollo - Tirion is on 50th percentile for everything but fits 0s and 00s still. She wears big cloth nappies which make the 0s fit better mostly and cannot wear jeans.
Does anyone else have difficulty getting their baby into jeans or pants? I give up - we have bloomers and stretch pants only.
Where are these blinking TEETH? So sick of the teething with no show!
I had a bit of a "am I pregnant" scare! Period late, feeling really off... so far two tests three days apart have been negative so I am relieved. It made me realise how much I am not ready for another one just yet.
yeah i had one of those JB! scary hey! LOL i dont think i could cope with an 'accident' yet! i have the implanon though so hopefully it is doing its job. speaking of these things.. anyone feeling sore still while DTD? i am still hurtin, so havent been doing it very much! i had an episiotomy which i think is why it is still hurting.
I had a tear which required stitches and am still getting a little bit of pain. I'm going to a gyno on Tuesday because a combination of things happening down there.
Thanks Mo. I haven't got AF back yet either. Haha, I just realised that today is Monday and that Tuesday is actually tomorrow. I am so out of it at the moment. Alexandra's sleeping is a bit out of whack and she has gone to sleep for a nap in the afternoon and then not woken up except for a feed and then straight back to sleep. Which means that she was up before 5am this morning and on top of that she is also feeding almost 2 hrly! Hopefully I can get the sleep thing sorted today and her feeding will settle down soon
My Mum stopped in early this morning on her way to the Gold Coast. It seems that overnight, my Grandfather (Dad's Dad) has passed away of a heart attack. He was suffering from dementia and had been having a bad time so I think he is probably now at peace but it is still so very hard; he is my first Grandparent to leave us. I feel so upset for my Dad as he was very close to his parents and these last few months as his Dad started to deteriorate have been really difficult. I also cannot stop thinking about my Grandma and how hard this must be for her. I am so happy that Imogen got to meet her Great Grandpa and that my Dad had a chance to show off his Granddaughter to him. It was still a shock although he had been unwell recently (some of you know I had been down the Gold Coast the prior weekend because of this). RIP Poppy, loved and missed.
I have had one AF (a little over a month ago now) and so that is why I was stressing... I know everyone says it takes time to regulate, especially whilst breastfeeding but then I think my mind started playing tricks on me and I was feeling really nauseous and just off.
No luck with the engagement ring. I have pretty much lost all hope on its return.
JB I am so sorry to hear about your Poppy Even when they have been sick for so long it's still really tough to have to finally say goodbye. My grandad passed away at the end of last year so he never got to meet Alexandra. If you want to catch up to talk or for a bit of distraction let me know. I would love to catch up with you and Immy again before we leave (in less than 5 weeks!)
