Babies Born March 1st -15th 2008 #5

Thats not fair Shell! I want a cleaner! An ironing lady would be good too. I don't even own an iron!!!!

Jesse is loving his avocado toast. He has weet bix for brekky on the weekend, & was havong avo sandwiches for lunch, but this morning he wanted avo toast & loved it! I gave him 2 quarters of toast & when Bri decided she didn't want hers & gave it to me Jesse winged for that too. So he ate a full piece of toast! There's only a few little bits of crust left.

Things are ok. Well we aren't fighting. Probably coz I just don't bother. We aren't really talking or doing anything else either.
SIL & my brother are moving away. I'm so upset. SIL is the only person I know in town. I've met a few others, but I can't stand most of them.One of the girls here is just dirty. Her cat & dogs live in her flat & go to the toilet everywhere & she just leaves it. It's disgusting! And she is really immature & has no brain what so ever. Every time I see her she is dying of something new. There isn't really anyone else.
I did go to Playgroup yesterday, but I felt out of place. I'm a young mum & while I do drive a 4WD, mine is 12 years old. I rent & they all own properties out of town. KWIM?? I just don't really have anything in common with them. I'll keep going, but I dunno how long I'll last.
When I first found out SIL & DB were leaving town I rang Anth & said straight up that I will not live in this dump with out her. He agreed.
Then changed his mind. He got me all excited & agreed that I should move & he'd stay here & work & we'd stay together, saying it might be what we need, then changed his mind.
Not happy.
Anyway, he is thinking about us moving up there at christmas time.
I'm not to sure we will last that long though. I just don't think I'll have the strength to leave. I dunno.
I am looking around at houses near mum. I guess if I get one then it might be easier to do.
Anyway.
Better get some house work done.

Shell good luck going back to work I bet you are excited in a lot of ways I am sure you will be well organised and all with go smoothly.
Prama I gave will creamed corn in with his potatoe..corn goes thorugh babies no matter what hope lakshmans bottom is ok.
Will had brocolic and sweet potatoe last night farted like a trooped but loved it.

Blood has gone up with steroids but head and heart and buzzing badly. Ihave to start to wean off them but RPA would not immeadiatlye approve the drugs so have to wait for drug commitie to meet next week before they can be sent up..its incredibley expensive* uupwards of $15000 so have to get approval for it to come out of their hospital into ours.Good news is though that I will only have to have 4 weeks of it this time so hopefully my veins will hold out for that

We had a lovely long lunch at a local cafe fo rmothers group today we have decided to do lunch once month and go to the library on other days. Cant wait till we can go on picnics in the summer

shell - lucky you! i dont hink a cleaner would do us any good, steve's mess will build up in 5 minutes! ;)
shell - there's a BB sydney group that's meeting on monday at fairfield farm. i think they'll be meeting every 1st of the month.
thanks! dj as changed heaps too. he looks all grown up in his facebook photos.


bron - hope things get sorted out w the drugs.... can someone come help you look after will when you're not well?

skye - sorry your sil is moving away. i know how you feel about feeling lonely away from friends and family....

went to mum's group today, it was really nice to see everyone. they all said i lost weight and they had too.

long day, tired...
poopy's grizzly and clingy still. gave him a little panadol, hope he feels better. poor bubba.

Morning girls,

All good here, we went to a friends place for dinner last night which was lovely. DJ wasn't good though, his cold was fine, but he just wouldn't settle to sleep. He got overtired and wouldn't sleep. The only person that could get him to sleep in the end was Doni. Such a daddy's boy.... Didn't leave there until close to midnight and I am so tired today. Definitely won't be doing such late nights when I am back at work. Just about to put the kettle back on for another cuppa.

Bron - yeah if I get super organised I should be right. Hope all goes well, you take care of yourself.

Prama - yeah Doni makes a mess within 5 mins too, I just need help with the floors and bathrooms. The rest he will just have to pull his weight since I can't do everything now kehehe my excuse and I am sticking to it ;) As for BB Sydney, I will have to look up the details and come along with you - at least it would be a regular catch-up for the two of us. We will have to do coffee/hot chocolates afterwards. Hope Poopy is better? Is he just super clingy from his immunisation? I am finding DJ is super clingy from having his cold and now he is back to being cuddled to sleep which is a bad habit, but it only took me 2 days to get him out of it.

Skye - sorry to hear things aren't getting any better between you and Anth and your SIL moving away. I agree with you wanting to be near your mum. I find it so helpful having my mum 10 mins away. She can just hop in the car and be here if I need her.

Well, I am off to make another cuppa.

Take care everyone.

shell - poopy has been super clingy.. he doesnt have a fever or anything just that, and being restless. he's eyes say he's not himself... i gave a little panadol last night, he slept almost straightaway.
oh, this is hte syd meetup, it's fairfield so a bit of a drive
https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-new-post.html

gotta go to the MCN and then osteo..
bbl

I forgot to say that Jesse slept through Tuesday night. He went to bed around 9.30 & slept til 6am.
Poor little mans got the flu now, so hardly slept last night.
& he's got another spot of eczema on his back. The first one hasn't gone away yet, so I'm trying to get to the doc to prove it wasn't ring worm & get him some ABs & maybe exzema cream. I have some here for Bri, but coz its cortizone cream I don't wanna put it on him unless a doc says its ok.
Don't you love my new ticker pic?? I only found it yesterday on SIL's pc & forgot I even took it.

Maybe he is getting a tooth?? DJ still hasn't got his first tooth and has been teething for almost 2 months now.... ahhh the joys.... But it could possibly be a tooth, is he showing any of the signs that he might be getting one?

Oh the Syd meet-up I might be able to come along with DJ depends on the time. Couldn't find a time on that discussion..... I am taking DJ to Gymbaroo for the first time on Monday so could go there afterwards depending on the time everyone was going.... Are you going?

Hope all goes well with MCN and osteo.... which reminds me I have to book in to see MCN as well...and the osteo.

Just got back from the gp. Jesse has a viral rash called pityriasis rosea.
It's wierd coz Jaz has a viral rash as well. Molloscum contagiosum. Jesse's look like ring worm/eczema & are not contagious. It will run its course in 6 - 12 weeks, Jaz's look like little skin tags & are only contagious in warm water, but will last anywhere from 6 - 18 months.
I think its odd that they both have these viral skin contitions, but they are so different.
The gp wasn't too worried though.

I still haven't started Jazz on finger foods. Only today I've taken 2 lots of food to daycare to see if she's ready for 2 meals a day. I'm trying to put of finger foods for now, might wait another week until she's at 6 months. I'm not ready for her to have proper food yet.

We are participating in a nourish study about babies and all forms of feeding so there are 2 types of diaries I need to keep: One is to be done at daycare for food and drinks she has while not in mine or Matt's care, the other is on 2 specific days in our care. The people doing the study are meant to ring and tell me what days to do but I can only do Sat & Sun coz that's when I have her all day. They weighed and measured both Jazz & me yesterday. Jazz was 5.8kg when we were at the hospital a couple of weeks ago, now she's 6.3kg. Can't remember her length, but I got them to write it all in the blue book.

Matt's taking her for her 6 month check up & needles on Thursday. He's a bit nervous about having her for the whole day while I'm at work so I wouldn't be surprised if he rings me heaps. I told him that I think it would be a good idea if he gives her at least one meal of solids on the weekend so he knows what to expect on Thursday. I told him that it takes ages and even though it might seem like she's had enough, it doesn't always mean she has had enough. It'll be interesting and will really show if he's ready for us to drop 1-2 days of day care. He wants to drop some day care but he's not quite ready to take her yet.

Hi girls,

All good here, DJ seems to be on the end of his cold, only a few sniffles, seems to be worse in the morning or when it is cold at night, so just keeping him warm. Just gave him some lentils and vegetable puree and he loved it. I even loved it yummmm I got a fresh packet of organic ready made stuff to give it a go, no preservatives etc... Thought I would let him try before I go and make a big batch of it. At least I know he likes it. So, tomorrow I have to get some more baby cube trays for the freezer and get cooking kehehe I want to make a big batch of purees before I return to work next week.


Danni - I haven't introduced finger foods yet either, I find the purees easier at the moment. I am too scared of him choking on it..... Might give it a go tomorrow with a stick of brocoli.

Skye - poor Jesse and Jaz :( hope they get better soon :)

Well back to DJ have a nice night girls.

Shell xx

skye - poor jesse :hug: did the gp prescribe anything?

shell - not sure about going to fairfield on monday.. it's been a long week already....
glad dj is feeling better... :D

poopy was clingy cos of his needles.. he seems better today. mil said today, his gums feel harder now than they did befoe we went OS so he should be teething soon.
he's also started to spit with a vengence. this morning he spat his breakfast at me and i was splattered in yogurt. he didnt mind it, he ate it all up, but he does that spitting thing on and off, eating and not eating.
i'm going to wait for finger food. next week, im going to see how mashed food go. im going start fish as well. MIL makes really yummy soup, so when i go next week, we're going to give him some vegie soon, it'll have onion and garlic and all.
i also got some low salt stock, im going to try to cook chicken in it and blend it up.

im so exhausted. poopy;s having 3 solids now. im just finding it's taking so much more time. i was late going to the mcn so didnt have time to see the nurse cos i had to go to the osteo. he had a bf in the morning, then some vaalia yogurt w banana. i left him w mil when i went to the osteo. he had a milk there. got home, gave him some lunch, then bf.

we went out to get his car seat, we got a maxi rider AHR at babies galore at 10%off. then gave him his dinner and then milk.
I just feel im constantly feeding him.. it's exhausting. and i find i have to now get ready an extra hour earlier than before if i want to give him solids and milk.
instead of 4,5 meals before now it's 8 meals a day.
sorry im having a really down day..
my lupus is getting me down and tired and worn out.
the osteo said some of my lumbars aren't working very well, and there's hardly any reflex in my left foot. my feet are over compensating.... basically my back is buggered, and everything's on my foot.
he said something must have gone wrong during my development days.

time for beddy byes.. i'm sorry this is a whinge post...

Prama

I don't think I will make Fairfield City Farm either, taking DJ to Gymbaroo on Monday and I think i will be meeting a friend that I haven't seen in years as well.....

Argh immunisations..... DJ is due his in next few weeks as well, not looking forward to it.

Wow that sounds like alot of work.... I am giving DJ two solid meals per day (rice porridge and vege puree of some kind) but he still is only having around 5 teaspoons so not large amounts. With his formula feeds he is still having 6 feeds per day, and drinks around 140-180ml each time. All depends. He is definitely getting hungrier.

My back is also stuffed from pregnancy. I have to see my osteopath as well, my knees and ankles are stuffed and figured out it is because my back, hips etc are all out of wack. Hope you feel better sweetie.

Hope you get some good rest tonight. You need to rest up. If you can, try to get a sleep while Poopy is sleeping, even if it is only 20 mins. You need to make sure you take care of yourself.

Shell xxx

shell - thanks so much.. xoxoxo. you made feel better.. xoxox

i love that pix of dj, he looks so grown up in that white suit. he's very handsome.

Hi all,
Sorry been MIA lots going on, DH and I are separating, he should be moving out in the next few days/week we have told the kids and all going ok so far. We are getting on well but know it's time to move on.

Hope you are all well and sorry no personals.

Morning

Re the solids... If you are thinking of introducing finger foods you need to stop the puree as the two methods are so different, one you feed your baby, the other they feed themselves. Honesty if you are finding the puree stuff hards, maybe switch to the other method, it is far less time consuming as you dont really need to cook anything different from what you are having.
Today MJ is going to have fruit and our left over dinner which was cauliflower and macaroni cheese (a very slack cooking days yesterday, but i did work all day for DH at the factory) and maybe some avocardo or hommus on toast. It is far less work and also as you dont feed them, you can either sit and have your lunch or meal with them Or can be preparing dinner or something - MJ has her dinner i n the kitchen while i am preparing ours (she has her dinner at about 5pm otherwise she is too tired)
BUT BLS is not for everyone, there is a bit of mess to cleanup afterwards (i have to mop under MJ afterwards and also her high chair needs a good wipe down) You need to do waht suits you thou...
Danni and Shell, if you are thinking of going down this track, you need to make sure that your daycare is happy to continue feeding this way as finger feed is very different to spoon fed by someone else iykwim - Do what you are comfortable with
I will post the link to the BLS thread that has been started

Prama - sorry to hear that your lupus is playing up, can you do anything for it? My back is also stuffer - too many years of nursiing i am afraid, funnily it was the best it ever was when i was pg!!! maybe i will have to get UTD soon :lol:

Skye - sorry to hear about the viral rashes, are the bothering the kiddies? how weird that they both hve different ones. I hope Anth considers moving for you - must be hard feeling s isolated :hug:

Bron?trina - how are you?

gotta go, the house is stiring - grrrh i am meant to have 10 more mins !!!!

Hey SJ i have been giving Summer finger foods cheese, toast etc and not fully pureeing her food and some things are too slippery so put chunks of pear or whatever in her mouth and it is heaps easier.

Sheesh must be the week for backs I have never had an issue with mine but yesterday when I Went to pick Will up off the floor he threw himself back and I over compensated..I can hardly move. I went all hot and clammy and sort of in shock from the pain. I have pulled something and mum is having to come and watch Will today as its that sore I cant put him in the cot :-(
Am ready to start giving Will some finger foods he has such good hand eye co ordination and grip so am brekaing out the messy mat and ready to go.

Hugs fo ryou Trina at least things are on the move now and you can make plans for you and the girls take care of you xx

Heres the link... https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...formation.html

Trina - what to say, Im sorry :hugs: At least things are nice (if you can call it that) between the two of you. How are the kids taking it? A Bron says, you know whats going on and can make plans and well get on with your life, You have pretty much been living a single woman anyway, so at least you know that you will cope... you will do a fantastic job and at least no one can let you down this way.
I wont go on, you know we are here for you if you need a vent or what ever. Take care of yourself :comfort:

the slippery food is so funny, as MJ is also teething, she will forget that she has food in her hand and rub her ear - she ended up with avocado everywhere yesterday lol

Trina, so sorry. I do hope the transition is smooth for everyone and that you can move on with your lifes.

I was annoyed at Matt this morning. He's meant to get up to Jazz on weeknights. He got her up and changed her nappy/fed her before he went to bed at about 11pm last night and then didn't get up again. Meanwhile, I got up 4 times before 6am to put the dummy in her mouth. So when it was time for me to get up at 6am, I made as much noise as I could. I closed my glasses case (which is spring loaded) really loudly, I took half the quilt off Matt when I got out of bed, I shut the door loudly and when I was getting my clothes I made sure I shut the wardrobe and all the drawers loudly too. It didn't work though, he was really out of it and didn't stur! I'm gonna ring him now to make sure he's up. I'm totally wrecked and having a coffee which I don't normally do.

I might make him get up tonight even though it's my turn coz it's the weekend.

trina - so sorry to hear abt you and DH. but I hope it will work out better for you in hte long run. you've had such a hard time. hope the transition goes ok..

speaking of funny feeding, last night i was feeding poopy and he moved and the spoon hit his nose, and left nostril was filled with pumpkin, carrots and spinach. he didnt even notice!

another hard night, he kept crying in his sleep. i dunno what to do....

Trina - I'm glad the girls took it ok. It sounds like it'll be pretty easy to do. Well not easy, but no fighting over the kids or anything like that.
I hope it stays that way.
Good luck girl. Make sure you keep checking in so we know you are ok.
:hug: Good luck.

Sorry guys. Will be back later. Busy day. Gotta go to Gil - about an hour away - to pick up my sister coz Dad threw his back out again. Well thats his excuse. He always seems to have an excuse to make us go to him.

skye - love the new pix of jesse!!

Prama - is poopy crying and still asleep?
MJ does this, i go in and check and she is still asleep - maybe the dreams are kicking in now???
the other night she cried and so i raced in (it was an urgent cry) and she looked at me, smiled and then turned her head away and went back to sleep... It could be that they just need to know that we are still around??? dunno

sj - yes, he cries and is still asleep. thsi has been happening for almost 2mths. patting calms him down, then he starts again. almost every other hour.
would teething do this? but he;s ok during the day...

Now I can retype my post.... Was interupted from Doni's grandparents showing up and Doni had gone to cycling so I was all by myself with them (grrrrr) and they were going to wake up DJ from his sleep and I was like don't do that!! arghhh I would have a grumpy Dj on my hands if he didn't get his sleep haha

Trina - sorry to hear about your news.... that is great the girls took it well :) I agree with SJ, you are practically a single mum with him being away so much so you will do really well. And if you need us to vent or anything we are all here for you. Prama and I will have to come up for a visit when things have settled down for you, just let us know what is easier for you. Big hugs!!!!!!

Prama - maybe he is teething to be crying in his sleep or dreaming.... sometimes DJ will do that but then settle himself back to sleep. Does he have any teething symptoms? could just be a bad dream. Doni used to think DJ was dreaming of bunny rabbits chasing after him since he was born so close to easter haha he is a noisy sleeper.

SJ - thanks for tips re: BLS - I think I would continue with purees at childcare etc.... checked out another one today just in case Doni's work creche doesn't open anytime soon. My stepmum said she will look after him but in the short term. Don't think she wants to do it too much, she has other stuff to do and I understand that. The one I really liked today was great, very clean etc and gourmet baby food, fresh everyday etc... and they cater for intolerances etc which is great we both have gluten intolerance so we are incorporating that with DJ's foods because we think he will be the same as us.

Skye - how was your drive today? Is your dad's back ok?

Bron - yeah mine gets like that as well. I still haven't made the osteopath appt as well.... so hopeless!!


Well, better go and give DJ the rest of his feed and put him to bed.

Chat later

I bought Jazz some teething rusks tonight. She hasn't had any yet but maybe tomorrow.

She loves food! She ate a whole can of apples and had heaps of veggies at daycare today. They said that when she finishes her food she screams for more - and yes, she has all of her bottle before she has food!

Tomorrow I'm going to try 3 meals. Also, we are going out in the afternoon tomorrow so I'll take a teeting rusk so she can try a chewable snack. That will be the first time she will have had something that requires chewing. I think she'll be fine with it - she loves chewing her fingers, toys, her bottom lip...anything she can get her hands on really. I do think she's ready for finger food, but I'm not quite ready for her to have it...I think though I'll just have to follow her signs and let her dictate what she wants.

Morning girls,

Hope you are all well. I am pretty good, DJ is still back to waking up at 3am arghhhh the only way I can change it is if I feed him at midnight haha Someone suggested giving him water at this time and eventually he won't wake up for a feed. Just trying to figure out if it should be warm water or cooled boiled water, since he is used to having something warm at this time..... I will give it a go. The more sleep I get the better since I start back at work this week.

Today I am going to get some photos developed of DJ especially a few for my wall at work kehehe Need to do a few other things as well. Trying to work out how I can go to pole dancing this afternoon.... arghhhh I have missed the last 2 weeks from being sick or away in Byron..... My mum can't look after him..... Doni is at an all day conference thing today and tomorrow....Anyway will ponder more and work out something. We have a friend coming over for dinner tonight as well so I need to cook dinner. If Doni was home he could take care of that for me..... hmmmmm how can I be at two places at once.... I need a clone!!!!

Tomorrow my mum is going to take DJ for me for most of the day so I can get stuck into the housework. I want the house to be organised and clean before I return back to work. It will make me feel better.

Danni - I got DJ some teething rusks but he wasn't interested in them.... I suppose once his tooth comes through he will be though. And what an appetite with Jaz :) sounds like she is going well with her solids.

Anyway girls, hope you are all well.

Chat soon

This morning Jazz was laying in her cot and she yelled out "aaweee" I thought that was cute. Then she did it again a few more times until I finally went in. I wonder if aaweee is her way of saying mummy.

I brought her into our bed and she was laying between us. She would look at me and laugh, then turn and look at matt & laugh, then kept doing that, back and forth a few times.
This morning she's had a bottle, half a tin of apricot, peach & semolina (which tasted nice and I could eat it).

i tried to post and it all got lost

shell - hpw are u feeling about going back to work? excited/scared?
nice to get help looking after dj for you to do housework, you can do it in peace and at your own pace.

so funny about bunny rabbits chasing dj.. poopy must be dreaming about girls chasing him for valentine day presents hahahaha

sj hows mj's hips.. i cant remember if you said it all checked out ok.

danni - jazz is such a good girl w her food.


we had dinner with my team mates at my manager's last night. it was really good. poopy was well behaved. it was just nice to sit w other adults and chat like the old days. we had poopy on the play mat while we ate, then steve and i took turns w him on our laps while we chatted and had dessert.

he had his first swim class today. carlile swim school offered us a free trial class. steve took him into the water and i took pictures, i thought itd be nice for them to do this together.. i think he did well, he just didnt like when he was on his back and water went into his ears.

gotta go.. poopy's crying

Jazz loved the rusk. Think I'll keep one in my bag all the time now.

Hi all.
My dads back seems fine to me. He came over here last night. Apparently he has got nerve damage though. All those years of shearing.

Got Sahra - my sister - do put some foils in my hair. I feel so spesh now! But I'm going to get her to lighten it just a bit more. I want it like it was before I had Bri. Light brown/dark blonde. I don't feel like me with it this dark. After I had Bri i was never out in the sun & moved away from the coast & thats when it went real dark.

It started raining here yesterday & hasn't stopped. I'm loving it, but I would really like it to stop now so the sheep can dry out for Anth to go back to work next week.
They can't shear them with wet wool & it can take 3 days for them to dry out properly.

We finally ordered the parts to get the car rego'd. So that should be done some time after next weekend. The parts don't get in til Wednesday. Then FIL will come put them in on the w/e.
Then if the rain stops Anth will go back to work for the rego money! Yay.
I don't think I'll use it any more than I do now, but at least I'll be driving it legally. I only use it for shopping & to drop Jaz at school when she misses the bus now. So maybe 2 - 3 times a week.

Jesse's gone off his food. I think his teeth are bothering him. He's not sleeping too great either. I have to remember to give him some panadol if he's still restless tonight.

I better go put him down for his nap.

Have a good day everyone. bbl

Jazz often doesn't finish her bottles at the moment and spends a lot of time chewing on the teat instead of sucking and drinking. She also spends heaps of time chomping on her fingers, toys and anything else she can get her hands on. Her gums feel rough too. My sister said her daughters did the same things when they started teething. I wonder if we'll see any teeth in the next few weeks.

She ate heaps of food this afternoon though. 3/4 jar of vegetables and 1/2 tin of fruit. After every mouthful she giggled. It was so cute. She was so happy with herself when I told her what a good girl she was.

There's a baby girl at church who is a month older than Jazz. Today they were both holding hands which was so cute. They really like checking eachother out.

My sister is moving to Townsville :-( Her husband got into the army after they originally knocked him back. They got a call earlier this week to say they changed their minds and they want him up there on the 8th of Sept! It's all happening really quickly. I'm gonna miss her and my nieces, but I'm def planning a holiday as soon as we can afford it.

Just gave Jesse his first Milk Arrowroot & he's loving it. He dropped it & cracked a sh*t coz it wasn't given back quick enough!

Cute.

I tried giving jazz a little bit of a rice cake that she was eyeing off while I was eating. She bit a bt off and chewed it a little then spat it out. Then she wanted more but wouldn't eat it. She did mung out on a rusk though!

I'm starting to get over my not being ready to let her try things. I'm sort of thinking now that I'll let her try just about anything appropriate for her age, small bits at a time till she's used to something and of course, I keep a mental note of it. I wont let her do things like that in someone else's care though, not yet.

I did notice though when she was chewing on her rusk that there was a little bit of blood on it. She didn't seem to be in any pain but she was chewing hard. I put my finger in her mouth and felt around. I didn't get any blood on my finger. I really think we'll see a tooth very soon.

Prama
You made me laugh so hard with valentines day comment kehehee
I am actually excited about going back to work. I think I have lost myself in becoming a mum, because I don't take care of myself etc.... So now I can do what I really love doing and also be a good mum to DJ. I am looking forward to doing myself up for work 3 times a day and taking pride in my appearance and talking to people about things that stimulate my brain instead of mush or what time DJ is due his next feed etc.
Yeah got lots of housework done today thankfully :) Was good of mum to look after him for me.
Oh wow on the swim class. How did you find Carlile? I am trying to decide whether to go with them or Stanhope.

Shell xxx

skye - hope the weather clears up and anth can go back to work, and the car gets sorted out. bummer, this reminds me that i need to pay my rego online.
hey, so nice to hear you got your hair all done!! you and your sis have beautiful names!
do you know, i heard that they make sheep placenta into face creams and it's supposed to be good?

danni - sorry to hear your sis is moving to townsville, i've never been there but steve has worked there on a project and said it;s absolutely lovely. hope you get to go there soon.

shell - lol, steve and i were p!ss!ng ourselves laughing at the bunny rabbit dream. i kinda imagined ala Watership Down..
sorry, didnt discuss w you further re tomorrow. i think i will have a quiet day, i've had a long week and another long week ahead. i dunno just how things keep cropping up.
could we catch up later on? after you've settled into work and all.
i feel teh same abt going back to work. when i was at the training, i really felt like my old me, and having 'normal' conversations, without having to amuse and do baby talk.
and it was nice going to my boss's house on friday, i got dressed up tho casually but actually planned what to wear instead of just grabbing whatever. and had casual work related conversation with my other colleagues and laughing and enjoying a good meal.

oh, i found carlile pretty good. they sang songs with actions so kids can play along and learn the techniques. i'm going see if the aquatic centre at the olympic park will let me go have a look at a class. carlile is more expensive at $70 a month, about $16 plus for 30mins per class, the aquatic centre's $10 per class for 20mins, and i think they dont need to go for a whole term, after a few classes you can teach bub the same kinda stuff on your own, cos it was just holding them and lettingthem get familiar w the water.
he wore those swim nappies, zoggs ones, no leaks! lucky he did a poo before we left home haha.

i made another batch of food today. i had a several vegies, i was going to make a few batches of different combo of vegies, but i got so tired, i just put 4,5 types together and blended them. i feel bad cos it kinda becomes a mish mash for poopy but i was just too tired to make different combos. i was being too ambitious. had a long day, we went to darling harbour for malaysia fest, they had different stalls of various food. met upw a friend of mine from school, her hubby and 2 daughters. and we all sat together at the park, and ate and ate and ate. poopy was very interested and amused seeing the little girls!

everyone, hope you have a good week..
xoxoxox

Lol Prama. It may be good, but I think I'll pass!!!

skye - lol! i dont know if it works either.. just heard about it, thot you might know something about it. haha

poopy's cries sound raspy, i dunno if he has a sore throat...

Hi all, I went and spoke to my trainer at the gym yesterday and we made up a plan for me to lose weight and get fit again and went in this morning to get started and half way through my PT i had to go and get Summy from the creche she cried from the time i left and was all worked up, she was so hot and they didn't even think to take her thick cardi off or her socks as usual i didn't say anything they were just sitting there rocking the pram ??? I lost half my session that i paid for which is annoying.... Oh well

Prama at work we have a serum that has snake venom, Hmmmm placenta... interesting is probably good but sounds yuck, prob lots of nutrients. Not sure if i am going to take Summer to swimming lessons, might just do it myself until she is ready to be with the instructor and other kids, its a lot to pay for just playing in the water.

Shell glad you are looking forward to going back to work much better than dreading it. It's nice getting dressed up instead of chucking on tracky dacks!!

How you going Skye?

Hope you are going well Bron, did they ok your meds?

First day of spring and i feel like cleaning and sorting.....

Well i stink... literally!!!
Dad bought up with him a trailer full of cow manure compost so have literally shoveled ***** from trailer to wheelbarrow most of the day and spread it all over my garden beds, in a few weeks i am going to plant some veggies - woo hoo.

Yep first day of spring had me cleaning heaps this morning before mum and dad arrived... dad still managed to comment on the coffee table that still had a few coffee rings on it though... humf sees the mess, but dosent notice the clean.

Mum taught MJ to high five today, its soooo cute i cant wait to show DH tonight... although i am still very very mad at him, long story wont go into it as its the typical inconsiderate male story that we can all tell :rolleyes:

Oh and i am soooooooooooooooo proud of myself, when i fell pg i was about 66-68kg, as they say, nine months on, nine months off.. so i set myself a goal of being under 70kg by my 30th birthday (which is thursday) and i weighted myself yesterday and i was 69kg wooooo hoooo :cheer:
My figure is definatly different, i still have a spare tyre so to speak, but i was so happy that i cracked that mark and 5 days early too.
Still would like to lose another 5kg and then i will be really happy, but its a bit hard with BF and there is no creche at our gym, so i just have to rely on eating and walking... anyway gloat over

Trina - those girls at the gym, do they not have a brain??? i would be so mad - do you have to pay to have Summer in there? morons

As for the tracky dack uniform, im loving it :D I still am in jeans or cargo pants 2-4 days a week, but that is about as dressy as i get, im not a bogan pmsl, but i am not one of those people that gets dressed up much and i dont spend much on clothes, waste of money of you ask me, would rather put my money towards something else...and besides there always too much to do that i can get messed up doing, when i was younger i rode horses (you make me jealous trina), was riding abike or running (cross country training) and worked around mum and dads garden, then i worked on my car - dad and i did up a 68 VW beetle for my 1st car, then well, renovating the house, gardening (shovelling cow *****!!!) etc.... besides as a nurse i always had a work uniform so didnt even have to buy nice clothes for work...

hope you all are having a good day :)
