    Afternoon girls,

    Going really well today went for 1.5hr walk and felt great. Since I stopped breastfeeding, my weight is starting to fall right off, I have already lost 2kg after giving up breastfeeding. I think it is because I am not always hungry so it is a bonus.

    Bron - congrats to your hubby getting the job - that is super news

    SJ - I was considering getting some of those huggalegs for DJ so that his legs are warm when I give him a good nappy free time. I agree those BBH nappies are fantastic but very bulky. DJ has been getting a bit of nappy rash from them.


    Hope you are all having a great day. DJ is putting yet another thing in his mouth haha it is sooo exciting now, he picks up and holds his own toys now.... Mind you puts everything in his mouth haha

    Yay for the job, congrats to hubby!!!

    Jazz is in daycare today for the first time. I had a call at 12:30 saying that she wasn't really taking the bottle but she seemed happy so I wasn't concerned. About to go pick her up. I've only expressed once, I feel like I need to again but there's no point because I'm about to pick her up. When I expressed I got 80ml out of each side! I haven't had any time to do anything around the house. I got back from my interview at 12:30 then had lunch and did some Avon stuff. Went out delivering catelogues for a couple of hours, just got home and now I have to go get her. I'm pooped!!!

    Might get a bit done tomorrow while she sleeps, but then Thursday I might get more done, I do have to go out for a couple of hours to collect books, but at least I wont have an interview to go to.

    Hi all.
    Like my new ticker? Finally got one that would put the pic I wanted up.

    Had a good day. Jaz's athletics carnival today, so sat up at the oval for 6 1/2 hours. SIL came to keep me company though. Gotta luv her!
    Jaz came 2nd in shot put & her house won. Yay.
    The kids were all good & behaved - although Bri wet her pants & I had to run home, but other than that it was warm (well, kinda), & suny & everyone was in a good mood for a change!
    Til now. Poor Bri has a pulled muscle in her neck & is in a bit of pain. Poor baby

    I have decided to try giving Jazz a bottle for every 2nd feed during the daytime now. She really needs to get used to it. She was so quiet when I got her home from daycare and so tired. I think it all might be that she was in a strange place with people she doesn't know and the other kids were paying her so much attention that they wore her out. I'm sure she'll get used to her new routine soon and it shouldn't take her too long to get to know the lady who has her for daycare. I know that substituting every 2nd feed with reduce my supply a lot, but I was thinking that that might not be such a bad idea because the temp company is limited in the jobs they can offer me because they need to make sure the places they send me have a hygenic and private place for me to express, they said that it is their duty of care but it may mean that I might not get as much work as others because not all employers have the right facilities. They have this thing called "breakfast temp" where I would go into the office between 8:30 and 11:30 and just wait and see if anyone rings looking for a temp, however, to do this I have to drive to the city and I have to go wherever and can't refuse but I can't do that while I need to express because the place might not be suitable for that. Once I feel that I can go a whole day without expressing then I might consider that.

    Danni - You could always just do night feeding. I know a few people who have done it that way. Then you don't have to give it up all together.
    Its up to you though, if you want to ff got for it.

    I'll try to do a quick one as poopy is a sleep and is due for a feed realsoon.

    shell - a friend also said her weight just fell off as soon as she stopped bf-ing! 2 kgs good on ya!.
    I think im a bit ambitious abt losing 5 kgs, i guess if i lose 2 kgs, 1kg amth till icome back thats good enough.
    yaay on the rolling, he's a smart one, dj!

    bron - thats fantastic news abt dh. he must be soo good that the new employers wanted him straightaway.
    he shouldnt feel guilty, they overworked him before.

    danni - poor jazz, she'll get better at it.

    skye - fantastic pix!!! wow.

    sj and trina, thinking of you.

    have to run now..
    steve is waiting to board his flight home, we are both so heartbroken. he's so sad to be leaving poopy. he said this will be first time in his life he will wake up and not see me.. im in tears writing this. i miss my stevie so much

    Prama - sorry that you will be there without Steve, it must be sooo hard on him too, not only will you not be there but his little man too. I hope your family are supportive of you in the next few days as it may be a bit of an emotional rollercoster.

    Skye - i cant wait for athletics carnivals!!!! i use to love them, my Mum use to come and watch too - i loved it - well done to Jaz!

    Shell - i am jealous! 2kg wow... i want to loose 9kg before my 30th this year (september) i know that it is not going to happen as its only a couple of months away, but i would love to be my pre pg weight again for that!
    But to help i have decided that i just cant kee snacking or eating chocolate. I will be grumpy for the next few days, but i cant sit hear waiting for it to magically fall off (although i am walking about an hour each day)

    have a great day everyone
