I haven't had AF yet. I didn't get it with either of the girls til they were around 4 months. Even though I only bfed for 6 & 4 weeks.
I still think I'm feeding too often to get it yet. I did have my depo needle when Jesse was 2 days old, but I lost my script for the second one & have been too lazy to go back to the doc. I'm pretty sure I'm feeding too often to fall pg, but we are being careful anyway. Well when it happens...
I love the depo though. I don't get AF for the whole 3 months. I'm not game enough to get the implanon. I hate needles & the depo is enough! I've heard alot of bad stories too, so I'll avoid it for now.
I'm finding my maternity bra's are really comfy. I reckon I'll probably keep wearing them after bfing. It would be good to wear a push up bra again though! To not have to worry about making sure I find them to wash every day - I only have 3 maternity ones, so have to make sure I keep up. It's too easy to forget to put one in with all the washing I've got!
Summer has cut both bottom teeth my big girl!!!! She is growing up way too fast.... They are both through one a little more than the other i'll have to watch my bbs now no chomping allowed.
I had implanon and hated it i had AF for months straight it was horrible but i know other people that love it.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
Poopy is now starting to wake up at 5!!!
Dilemma - my manager sms-ed me yest saying there's training coming up just a couple of days after I get home. IT's a course I've been wanting to do for years and it's finally been approved.
Steve will have to look after L for 3 days, which is goign to be really hard, as his routine/antics have changed so much since Steve last saw him. Plus I'll be goign so many hrs without bf.
What do I do???? I really want to do the course, Steve doesnt mind looking after him, he's going to try taking a day off and working from home the other 2 days.But it's going to be hard on him cos L's changed. The course is in the city from 9-5..
summy well done!! you're a big girl now!
shell - hows dj feeling? what are those fluid retention tablets? can you take them while bf?
Teeth already. Scary! I keep sticking my fingers in Jazz's mouth to see if I feel anything. She chomps on my finger while I'm checking.
Jazz tries to sit up by herself. She must have good ab muscles now coz when she's laying down, she'll do what I can only describe as "crunches" to try and sit up. She hasn't quite got the balance yet unless she doesn't squirm. We bought her one of those kid couch things that fold out to a bed so she sort of sits on that with a pillow to help prop her up, but she often slides down.
Prama - Poopy is sooo cute in that pic!!!! He looks so strong holding his head up. DJ gets strong and then fed up after 5 mins from being on his belly.
As for your course, if it is something you really want to do then do it just express your milk before you leave in the morning and you can always take a manual pump with you to course and just do it in the toilets if you are getting too full. I would do it especially since Steve has offered to look after him.
DJ is still doing solid constipated poo's and he isn't even on solids. I spoke with mums today at mothers group and the older babies had the same problem they became constipated when teething, so that was a relief to know that.
No you can't take this tabs when breastfeeding.... I have only started taking them, found they got rid of fluid before AF.....
Trina - wow two teeth Yipeeee that is great news Trina
Skye - yeah maternity bras are comfy but they never fit me properly anymore, so my boobs just don't look right in them. They look bigger than what they actually are....
LOL - he looks funny, such bald round head. he had some sandalwood paste straight after the shave, you can see someof it on the pix. it helps soothe and keep his head cool. it's funny, he still tries to grab his hair.
shell - thanks, i might do that, take a pump with me, at tleast the hotel where the training is the bathrooms will be nice and clean.
no teeth here eihter.
hope dj's consipation goes away. can he take soemthing like prune juice without sugar to help him?
we gave poopy some carrot/potato with a little formula, he ate it w a funny face, then threw it all up w some phelgm. poor baby.
skye - are u on facebook?
shell - havent replied to you there yet, poopy's better, cough almost gone and just a little stuffed nose.
I've uploaded a photo of my new hair do that I got done today and I LOVE it! Jazz gave me a funny look when we arrived to pick her up from daycare. She smiled heaps at Matt and when I was carrying her out to the car she was looking at me like "who are you?" and then looking at Matt and smiling at him.
Hopefully getting a high chair tomorrow. Bought a jar of 4-6 month old babyfood, just vegetables which I'm going to try giving Jazz on either Friday night or over the weekend.
Prama - i LOVE that pic - he is such a georgous man!!!! I hope that you have decided to do the course, i would go and just express in the loo's as others have suggested.
The biggest problem is that Steve will not have spent so much time with L, but i dont think that will e too much of an issue. Why dont to make a diary of the week before hand so that he can read what you do, also maybe video the noises he makes when he is tired, hungry or just wants a cuddle, i know that MJ's noise have changed heaps, so i guess that would be the hardest bit for Steve.
Talking about feeling like a whale, its awful, it is really starting to get me down and then i feel like comfort eating, so its not helping at all I really wanted to be back pretty close to by pre pg weight by my 30th but that is only 5 weeks away now so it is looking pretty doubtful.
Summer - you are such a big girl cutting those teeth, i hope that they are not bothering you too much.
Paddy - you are growing up too - what amazing tummy muscles!!!
Had a bad night the night before last, i was up feeding MJ at 11.30, 1.30am, 4.30am and at 6am she woke again so grabbed her and put her in bed with me. Dont know why she was so hungry or what was wrong... better last night only up at 2am for a feed. Maybe a growth spurt im thinking.
Went to Mums and bubs movie session yesterday and saw Mumma Mia, it was great, enjoyed myself, but i was sooo tired from the night before that i didnt enjoy the catch up wth MG girls as much...
Shell - i hope that DJ is feeling better, could you give him a it of just plain water, maybe he is getting a bit dehydrated and thats why he is blocked up...
Going to try and book MJ into an osteopath, her hips are worring me and she postures funny with her left leg and seems to drag it at times... hope everything is OK with her, she doesnt seem bothered, but it just doesnt look right
Girls on face book. I've got heaps - like 100 - pics on there. Some from Jesse's birth that I can't upload onto here coz they are too big. Go have a look.
Shell - I gotta get a jj after seeing DJ in his! So cute.
SJ - I hope you get things sorted with MJ. Doesn't sound good.
Jesse slept good last night!!! He went down around 7.30, but got up again about 8.15. Went back down at 10.30 & slept til 6am!!!!!!!!! Then til 9! Yay. If he keeps going I'll try his new cot again!
