my brain is so mush today.
we had our last mothers grp today, we talked so much and ate so much, we stayed an hr later.
we have our own catch up next thursday, i hope a few of us will stay on.

sj - i got to see your post much later, dunno why, very strange.
what a wonderful pressie! woo hoo! we have an old exercise bike in the garage, ive asked steve to get it out for me and leave it in the back verandah. i can cycle and poopy can play on his mat. that's the plan at least!

shell - ur mum must almost be there! that will really help. it's very tough to do it on your own. you're very strong! i hope doni buys you and dj a big big pressie. and special one, cos it's your birthday next week. is it on monday?
maybe dj's sleeping habit will slowly get longer.. maybe it takes a couple of visits?

jo - hooray for the measurements! caitlin is doing so well! yaayy!!! i thot it was poo but it was just a big stinky fart! lol.

skye - how are u going? are you still working at the hotel/pub?

shell, not sure if you heard but on monday one of the girls in the class, remarked when i took poopy out when i was doing the step exercise, that he's still so tiny. i didnt say anything but im so tired of every week someone says that. i think next time, im just going tell them to stop saying it. i need to be more assertive.

poopy is having a nap.. and i can sit here with my laptop.

oh i forgot to say, im having yum cha on friday! hooray!
a friend from work is leaving, i was going to go in and show poopy off on thurs but another friend texted me and invted me to lunch on friday. im so excited. little things hey! and im really happy that they havent forgotten me. how sweet.
oh, did i mention this already? feels like i have!
i think i will re-heat my cup of tea.

hi bron - ur message just came in after i finished. i hope all is well with you. how is will feeling now?

danni - congrats on the avon and dedication day.

was going to type more, but poopy is awake and i went to make his bottle and forgot to heat my tea....

Hey prama thanx for asking Will is much better the balsam,vapourisor and little fess worked really well on him. I am doing ok platlettes low but holding at the same sort of level at the moment. I can live with that and have done as long as it doesnt affect Will.
Are you excited about your trip? I have terribley itchy feet but we just cant afford to go anywhere atm as would really love to go home and see NIcks family and our friends in the UK. Its been 4 years since we were last there and am envious of you having time at home. ( dont really want to see my inlaws but would love to see all my friends *L*) I think Lakshman is one lucky boy to share the rich cultural side of his family as well and no doubt he will have many more trips over there.You must be so excited about showing him off to everybody.
JO Caitlin is looking great ( I nosedy at your pics)and obviously doing so well its great to hear and you must be really happy it feels like forever ago she was first born itn he group and you took us all by suprise.I think Caitlins birth really hit home for all of us that this was so very real at that stage*L*
You and SJ and SHell and Prama are so lucky that you can hook up with eash other would be great to meet you all face to face.
MInd you having said that I have had more morning tea since WIll was born than my whole life I am sure *L* nice to be a lady of semi leasure( well not at work anyway) if if I end up half eating cake and drinking cold coffee with Will in hand

[prama]

bron i wrote you this long reply and then accidently hit refresh....

so glad Will is doing much better. vapouriser worked for us too.

i am getting excited about going away, it will be nice for mum and dad to look after poopy between feeds and i can rest a little. but am not looking forward to their costant arguing.. hopefully having a grandchild will let them focus their energy on him.
hope you get to go away sometime, it's always really nice to see old friends and relax. and it's more special now that you ahve a child to share the experience with and for them to learn new things.

Will is lucky too, to have aussie and british culture. poopy has his aussie, malaysian and indian culture. i hope he doesnt get confused as he gets older. i know i get confused sometimes with 3 different cultures.

i know i always think it will be really nice for all of us to meet up. we wouldnt stop talking!! if you are in sydney again, let us know and maybe we can catch up. would love to meet you in person!!

shell - my legs and shoulders hurt! so tired. gee i dunno about doing monday and tuesday classes.

i cant remember everything i wrote just now.
just almost finished dinner and poopy woke up. would be nice if he slept till we finished.. oh well.

Ohhhh i am soooo sore, MJ still isnt awake so have just expressed off 70mls so that it doesnt all explode out of my boobs when she finally wakes AND my legs are killing - i didnt realise how bad shape was in until i did the wii fit -i was scoring good points when doing the exercises so doingthem corectly but i think that my hamstrings are in need of a lot of attention.... they are so sore today, will give the muscle work outs a miss today me thinks!

Prama - just a thought... maybe the other mums comment on Poopy being small as they think that he is really cute... there is a smaller baby in our group (who i dont comment about JIC the mother is fed up with the comments like you are) but every time i see him i want to go awwwww he so cute and small - some of it is because our bubbas use to be that small and when we see a smaller one, it reminds us how bigs our are getting... its not directed meanly, smaller babies are cuter! and you have the added bonus that he is doing al the things that a "bigger" baby is doing!
On the flip side, i try to keep my comments to a minimum at MG as there is a girl that has a 9 week old and her boy is bigger thann all of the baies, he is 6.5kg! not fat just a big boy (both mum and dad are average height) i try not to say anything or make comments about he size (more about how cute he is) as she probably is sick of it, but doesnt have the guts to say anything either.

Bran glad Will is doing well... maybe we should all hope on a plane and all meet in one place - it wouuld have to be a weekend, as i think we would never stop talking!

BBL booby call.... finally!

Morning girls,

Had a better night with DJ soooo happy. He slept from 10 til 4, then 4:30 til 7:00. So, I slept about 6 hours roughly by the time I got to sleep I feel less tired this morning which is great. And the best lthing is DJ is attaching properly and not needing to do football grip, just normal hold so I can do a good 20 min feed for him and he is content at that time in the morning so I didn't need to give him a top-up in formula. I fed him at 7:30 and he is still content and it was a 10 min feed so probably will give him a top-up shortly he is a bit grizzly now but he needs a sleep and is fighting it. He will probably sleep in the pram ride to mothers group. Mind you not sure on the weather, might have to drive up.

Mum came over and helped out last night she couldn't stay the night but helped feed and bath him and giving him lots of cuddles so I could sit back and relax and put a load of nappies on so that was great.


Prama - yeah my shoulders and legs are killing me this morning!! Dont worry about what she said but if you do feel uncomfortable just say something.

SJ - wow that Wii fit sounds like it is a great workout

Jo - you were very close indeed on what thought Caitlin would weigh

Sorry I couldn't do anymore personals gotta get organised for mothers group.

Chat soon
Shell xxx

thanks SJ -
sometimes it just gets to me, i know htey prob dont mean any harm but still. like one day, one of the mums asked how heavy he was and i told her. and she said if only x was that weight or that light(cant remember), my back wouldnt be killing me. her baby's a couple weeks younger but no mom really wishes their baby to be light.. insincere comments like that annoy me.
anyway, he is very cute haha.
teh mums in my MG are really sincere and listen to my concerns that he put on only 150g a mth ago. i just tell them now that he might never be chubby, just slender. i justify with his high metabolic rate haha.
yesterday, we lined up all the babies on the mattress, it was soo cute. poopy was still smaller than most of hte babies, but i thot he was hte cutest. haha. i told steve that he was small compared to the others, and steve goes, but i betcha he's the smartest! haha. i felt better.

the 6.5kg bub must have big bones. but good on him.

poopy had a feed and is still sleeping! i managed to have brekkie, mop the kitchen and bathroom, rinse his nappies, waiting for him to wake up to wash his sheets. and on bb.. phew!

well done on your exercise!! take it easy but will be fantastic to see the kilos come off!

shell - hoorray that dj slept longer.. yaay!!! im so happy. maybe it will get longer gradually. and so glad he's more settled.
have fun at MG!

SJ - great idea, maybe we could all meet up on day. when bubs are a little older. we'll have to meet somewhere central. it's vic and nsw isnt? i dont think anyone's in qld?

ohh.. poopy's awake! he's going to get a tsunami of kisses! lol
xoxox

teach is in WA!

I have just tidied the filing cabinet at home - what an effort...
Paid bills and transfered money, felt like it was all getting on top of me!
Going to do some gardening this afternoon, got some bulbs to plant and i want to rake the leaves... MJ can play in her Pram

[prama]

oh thats right, teach is WA! haha! it will be interesting indeed!
where's danni?

didnt i say i put the nappies to wash? and waht happens each time i do that?
poopy does a big poo! yup. luckily i had just rinsed it. so doing another load of rinse now.
and i put the poo-ey nappy on the change table as i was chaging him, and what did he do, kick it on to the floor onto the carpet. i screamed and thought there was going to be poo on the carpet, luckily the microfleece liner folded as it fell down and all poo was contained! it was very funny!
it's all fun and games with my poopy!

well done with the bills and all! yaay! gardening - whats that! lol, steve's been doing it lately. i even forget to water the plants!

was going to go pharmacy direct to get some sorbelone for his flaky scalp but looks like it might rain...

ohh danni - is in SA
