Lucky i have Ella to keep me busy and distract me. Was alot worse before she came when it was all i could think about
Oh its a hard choice isnt it - stupid AF you want her back but not for long. hope she appears SOON while you are still feeding and soon so K can keep feeding and you can have another bub!!!!!!
We are still here. Still no walking yet. Breastfeeding constantly. Same old, same old.
Congratulations FW! That is very exciting, so happy for you :)
Thanks girls :)
We are pretty busy atm. Looking for jobs for both of us in the hope that one of us will pick up something soon. DF is doing some part time work and I'm applying for a FT position that come with a subsidised house which is exactly what we want. The job is pretty exciting so fingers crossed that I get an interview.
We are having an afternoon tea/birthday party for A this weekend so I've been doing some baking to have some yummy stuff to eat. Will be getting stuck into the cake tomorrow, hopefully it works out ok! It will mainly be family at the party and only a handful of kids so it shouldn't be too stressful. If anyone has any tips or do's and don't's I am always open to suggestions ;)
Kell - Yep, waiting sucks. When we were TTC I felt like I was just permanently counting and then get muddled and spend forever looking at the calendar counting the days again. Hope you get some good news soon with some lovely pregnancy symptoms. Weaning is done for me and DD. She had her last feed about three weeks ago and we've only had one night of serious tears thank goodness. It was a horrid night too. And I've been able to stop expressing now too. Oh and the glass of wine was FANTASTIC!!
Mo - Don't feel selfish about weaning K. You've done a wonderful job, and instead of feeding her, you'll be giving her a gift of a little brother or sister.
So what else.....oh Red is good again, thank goodness. We were even able to reunite the two boys again - they'd been kept seperate while Red was sick, for the first time in 15 years. I'm sure all the whinnying that was going on kept the neighbours awake :) . DD is beginning to say ABCD, so funny. If we say A, she'll say B, then we say C, then she says D. No matter which letter we start with, she knows the next one! Only up to D though. Can't quite believe that really. I guess it's all those nights of singing the alphabet song to her while trying to get her off to sleep. It's her lullaby!
Corelly x
FW - Congratulations - that is the best news!! Has it been hard to get a booking for reception? Everyone I know seems to book a year or two ahead these days!
Corelly - Well done with the weaning. I wreckon I'm not firm enough with T so I let her just keep wanting mum. She will take the cup at night but still wants the comfort suck. I'm hoping my supply just dwindles naturally with reduced time at breast. Yay that your horse is better! Your little girl is very clever to know some alphabet!
Cheshire and Kell - good luck with TTC. I hate waiting for anything and I think the 9 months of being pregnant are a real drag too. We are always wating eh!
JF - nice to hear from you too.
The conference was great and bubs was popular of course. Lorne is lovely but it is winter down here - cold but sunny. Had a few relaxing days when the conference was over. It was the round up of the Victorian Dual Daignosis Initiative and the Improved services initiative to look at sustainability of system change projects (sorry you asked? : ))
Bron glad you had a nice time away, it would of been cold down there at night time.
JF so nice to hear from you, I bet next time you post your DD is running every where :)
FW hope you have a nice tea/birthday party :D
Corelly so happy to hear Red is doing so well now, he is such a beautiful horse. Oh your cupcakes look divine I so want to try some of them!!!
Kell when is AF due? Hope we get to be preggy buddies again :)
AFU
Kodi is doing so well, she eats like a little champ, talks constantly even if it's only babbling. Follow Maddi every where.
I can't believe how fast she is growing up.
AF has finally shown up yay. I just hope it's not heavy, i don't suffer from horrible cramps & she doesn't stay long lol
I'm so happy i wont have to wean K just yet & that we can start TTC this month!
just a quick one from work. AF is due tuesday. Think she might be early this month as feeling quite moody and like she is close. Yah wed be in the same group. fingers crossed it works for both of us this month - wed get march bubbas again! Not going to bother testing this month i hate seeing that single depressing line. So waiting for her to show herself so we cab try again :-)
Kell i still have my fingers crossed for you this month, i know what you mean about that depressing single line it can really ruin your whole day!
As for me i guess it wasn't AF after all, what ever little bleeding i had is now gone. I've got no idea what's happening but i do know that we wont be TTC this month now :(
Oh guys I hope this is not going to be upsetting to you but I have just had 2 positive preg tests over the weekend!
It is a little upsetting for me and DH actually as we are not TTC. I had to go off the mini pill at the beginning of May due to unexplained bleeding and BANG! Of course we will be pleased as soon as the shock dies off!!
T is still BF 2 times a day.
Anyway hope you are all well. Will let you know more soon.
Congrats SP i'm so happy for you & i'm not upset at all :D
Kell still got my fingers crossed for you.
My health is going downhill again so i guess it's a good thing we aren't TTC. Life just sucks sometimes!
Cheshire - I hope you are feeling better again soon and that AF sorts herself out!
Kell - I hope it happens for you soon. If I could rub my luck off on you I would. I'd go so far as to say I'd rather you were pregnant than me at the moment - still a bit shocked I guess....
Hi chicks,
Sneaking back in.....
Mo- Sorry to hear you're not so well. Man you have a sucky time with health. :hug:
Congrats Super P- hope you asre feeling better about your +ve test. Two close together is hard, but rewarding, isn't it Mo? ;)
We're settling in well in PNG, DD2 is great. She is so easy going compared to her sister!
Will try and catch up on all your news. :redface:
I've missed ya Jane, I'm always checking out your blog. I'm so jealous! Looks like your all having a wonderful time.
Miss S & Miss L are so beautiful, love all the pics!
Jane so hard but when K is crying & M goes and gets her fav toy to cheer her up it's worth it!
Health will always be sucky I think. I refuse to have the op, unless of course i get cancer then I'll have no choice. Never know they might come out with some better drugs oneday soon.
SP I remember when i found out I was preg with M, when I saw those 2 lines I just cried. It was a real shock & it took about 2 weeks for it to wear off. Then I saw her HB & I was so in love :-)
Corelly - Glad that you've got your horses back together again, I bet that they're both loving it.
Kell - Good luck for next week! Hopefully you won't be seeing AF for at least the next 9 months!
Mo - That really does suck. I hope that you start to feel better soon.
SP - Wow, Congratulations! Hopefully the shock will wear off soon and you can start to enjoy your pregnancy :)
JM - Good to hear from you again, I too like to check out your blog. Can't believe you climbed that bloody mountain in that crazy weather :)
We had a great weekend and a really nice b'day party for Alexandra. The foofa caked turned out pretty good, will have to put some pics on FB. I wasn't really expecting people to bring presents because her b'day was 2 months ago but she got quite spoilt with new clothes and toys, her favourites being a winnie the pooh teddy and a little puppy that you pull on a string.
The job that I applied for closes tomorrow and I think that i've got a pretty good chance of at least getting an interview. Starting to get a bit nervous though about if I do go back to work full time - I'm not sure how DF will go looking after DD everyday. She is a real mummy's girl atm and we're still feeding to sleep for her day sleep and when she goes to bed at night.
Wow SP thats great i am really happy for you. Hope its a happy and healthy 9 months ahead.
Yeah can you send me a whole lot of your luck my way!!!
I'm sure once the shock wears off it will be so so exciting for you guys :D
thanks for thinking of me that was really sweet
Sorry Mo about your health - hope your feeling better soon and you get your chance for another bubba
JM - can we check out your blog id love to read it
FW - good luck for your job interview. what job have you applied for?
Well my temp dropped today so am just waiting for AF i kinda knew this wasn't our month but bring on July. Lets hope she is on time this month and not messing me around.
Jane! - was wondering if you were carted off by head hunters or something!!! Great to have you back. Where can we look at your blog?
Thanks to all for well wishes. I'm surfing between emotions and feel fine mostly so it is just a process.
FW - I'm glad the party went so well. Would love to see pics of cake etc. Going back to work is hard but you do get used to it pretty quickly - eh Kell?
blog is timeinthejungle.blogspot.com
Have friends for lunch so just a quicky from me now. x
ETA- Happy birthday Mo. xxx
Happy Birthday Mo hope your having a great day and getting spoilt !!!!
Going to check out the blog now
Yep work is okay sometimes its nice to talk to other adults and Ella has coped really well - i get special hugs and cuddles when i come home in the arvo she gets so excited its really cute. Also think it has been good for Jason to see how much time and work they actually take up in the day and they have there own special time now which is good as well. Saying that id be a stay at home mum in a flash if we could afford it :)
