Thanks Prama. There is so much conflicting information about the jumpers. I know you can get stands for them rather than attaching them to the door frame or ceiling.

I went clothes shopping today, felt so good. My sister came along and looked after Jazz while I tried stuff on. She has free tickets to a cinima so we are going to the mums & bubs session to see sex & the city on Thursday (unless my sister has to work, she does temp work).

DH is quitting his job tomorrow and going to full time taxi driving at nights (5 nights a week). When he's not sleeping during the day he'll be able to look after Jazz if I need to go out. This does mean that I may have to go back to work in a month or 2 but will try to stretch it out until Jazz is 6 months. I think I'll just do temping to save some money for the course. I figure there is no point getting a perm job if I'm gonna quit as soon as I do the nail technician course, doesnt seem fair to an employer to quit after a few weeks.

Quick question for those who are still BF almost all the time: Do you find that you're hungry all the time, or not so much hungry, just feel like snacking heaps?

[teachmum]

BF full time and I don't find I'm hungry much but I will snack if there's crap in the house.

Jolly jumpers are great. Never had one fall even with a toddler pushing it like a swing. Like most things everything is good in moderation and SUPERVISION.

I enjoyed the m&b session. It was great to be able to go to the movies again. Thoroughly enjoyed Sex in the city even though I didn't really watch the series.

Had our first official playgroup today. It was fun even though we were all a bit lost because babies don't do much. Good to get out and chat though.

hey everyone,

Had the first day at the factory without MJ, Mum came up for the day and i was in floods of tears it was better thou and i feel less guilty as she was happy all day with Mum and i came home for her bobby call (lucky the factory is a 5 min drive away!) had lunch with mum then went back. i think that it will work until we get someone in to take over from me...

re Jolly Jumpers, i have had loads of friends that had JJ's and LOVE them... as for the walking on toes, i thought that half of bubbas did anyway when they started - i think i am going to get them. i heard about them flying off too, but maybe they werent attached properly - mine will be perminatly attached most likely

danni - i am snacking all the time, i have had to stop buying crap as i devour it. thinking about make rules and sticking them on the cupboards and fridge so that i am shamed out of eating when i go... i find that between 4 and dinner (usually 8pm i am worst)

Trina - hope your first day went well... i understand about staying away, thats why i have been absent, its so easy to get on and whinge and i dont want to do it ALL the time (just some of the time )

Teach - i think its so funny that the babies get together to 'play' and all they do is lie on their backs looking like turtles that have fallen onto their shells with their arms and legs going ha ha

Shell hope you had a nice time with your Mum
BJ - its funny, you want me time, but when you get it its like wadda do now???

Prama - sorry that Poopy is unsettled, hope it passes

MJ is talking heaps now and i show her her feet (i bring them to her head and 'kick' her cheek) and she smiles and smiles, she loves it! She also loves the mirror heaps now
Anyway she has just woken, got to start the night routine earlier, she is wanting more sleep!!! she is sleeping from about 8pm-7.30am but she is so snoozy in the evening i am going to try putting her down earlier.

have a great one everyone

[prama]

thanks girls for all your lovely thoughts. poopy seems better now, at least we are getting some smiles now. his eyes still look tired...

trina - hope you're feeling better, please take it easy xoxox
i know, it's really nice when your clients wait for you, huh!
thanks for your big hugs.

skye - glad you had some wonderful time to yourself, you deserve it! glad things are getting better for DD.


shell - hope you are feeling better. sometimes i also just feed odd and tense, like dunno what's wrong..
1 more sleep till doni comes home.

[shell_120308]

I am good just tired, DJ was grizzly ended up feeding him at 4am so he would go to sleep and I could rest. I should have gone to bed earlier but didn't go to bed until 11pm last night so my own fault for not getting to bed earlier. At least Doni is home tonight.

Prama - good to hear Poopy is feeling better YAY and right on time for your trip as well. I am ok today, think I just miss Doni, gets so hard when he has had so many trips away. He is away next week as well I think it is the full week again....... arghhhh

anyway gonig to finish my coffee and get some stuff done.

The gym was tough, i started out ok but then got really dizzy had to go to bathroom and felt like i was going to pass out or throw up. I've been not well for 4 weeks now so no wonder!! Now have a cracker of a headache.

Got to work and had 3 clients booked in who have been waiting for me, they don't like the other girl, i have a list of people to call that have waited the whole time for me, makes you feel nice

Mum is bringing Summy in here as i have nothing else tonight (meant to finish at 8) but bad luck.... She has slept the whole time i have been at work, which is good. I miss her her sweet little chubby cheeks.

Prama i hope poopy is feeling better soon it's not nice when they are sick.

SJ you kicking your MJ in the face hehehehe glad MJ was happy when you were working, you get more done when they are not there. Plus nanny was doting over her.

Teach yay on the play group, never been to one of those before did you join one with the others?

Danni i am 100% BF and if i am at home i could eat all day every day but when out i don't really think about it. Sometimes when i am busy i forget or don't have time to eat which is bad then i make up for it the next day hehe the bad thing is that salad gives me wind so i don't want to upset summy so have been eating lots of carbs which my body doesn't like too much.

I'm off to find panadol head is sooooo sore.

[all girls]

for you prama xox

[~clover~]

Man you guys were busy today! I can't keep up!

Well....I had a nice long shower this morning. Then got dressed & went to see the psycologist. Had a really good chat to him. I feel like we are getting somewhere now. Was there for about an hour when the dental clinic rang to book Bri in for her first checkup. 20 minutes later Day care rang to say I had to pick Bri up coz they found a nit in her hair. Great!!

Had big plans to catch up on house work today while the girls were away. But after they went thought Nah, stuff it. I'll sit on my butt for a bit & enjoy it. I wasn't planning on Bri coming home early though. Oh well. Still had a pretty good day. Jesse's starting to settle down again too.

I'm breast feeding full time. I find I'm always hungry. That could just be coz I don't get out much. Then there's the fact that I'm always forgetting to eat, so by the time I finally do I'm starving. I probably think I'm always hungry, coz I forget about it if u know what I mean.

Ok don't try to make sence of my brain. I can't even do that at the moment.

You guys are so lucky to have your mums visiting. I miss mine so much. & your all getting out to go back to work & to the gym & playgroup. I can't face being away from Jesse for any amount of time yet. I think I'm scared that coz I wanted a boy for so long something might happen... Sounds a bit wierd I know. But I still tell myself all the time that I've got a boy. It still hasn't sunk in.
Then there's the fact that I don't think I could handle pregnancy again, so I'm pretty sure he'll be my last. I wanna spend every second with his happy smiley self.

Anyways. Hope Poopy gets better soon. I'll probably post again sometime by the end of the night!

Sorry I haven't used anyone's names & done personals as such. I just couldn't keep up!
