Hey!
Welcome Bec!
I've only got a minute, so this will be short (ha! whatever!). Got so much work to do, it's ridiculous. My computer spazzed on me and I lost hours of work I'd just finished for a client, and I've been going crazy trying to re-do it all, along with visiting house inspections and Aadi deciding to be a naughty boy and scream uncontrollably for NO reason every time I go into a supermarket or public place! He shrieked for ages on Sunday (with tears and everything), and just would not sleep all day until 5 with DP holding him so I wouldn't cry too, then he was awake every 3 hours for a feed until the next morning. He went straight back to sleep after each feed, and he has hardly chucked at all, so I guess that's the pay-off... he's back to "normal" now, but is self-settling after just a bit of a whinge, so that's a real achievement, I think. Had to get thru a rough day to get to this.
We had our 12-week visit to the MCH nurse on Friday, and he's now 6.5kg and 62cm long. The nurse warned me I'm going to have my hands full with this boy because he's so active and alert already, and just wants to rock and roll. He's started rolling over by himself when we play and have tummy time, holds his head up all the time, and he just wants to shout and have loud "conversations"! Good thing we got approved for a house, so we can move out of this apartment building and stop driving the neighbours nuts! (Oh, and so I can stop having to put up with the garbage chute being next to our bedroom and never getting any rest, and the stink! oh what a terrible stink! SO fed up with lobbying the real estate, body corporate, consumer affairs etc...) Chances are he'll be running around and getting up to mischief before I know it, and that's not safe in our cluttered little space here.
Anyway, no AF here (thank goodness!) and I don't expect it any time soon coz I'm BF so often. I think it would be a huge freak-out if I were to get pg again so soon.
Sassy - sounds like you need to take care of yourself, you've been sick and a bit stressed lately from the sounds of things. I reckon "diet" is a dirty word! Be good to yourself, yeah?
Jess - your MIL doesn't have much of a clue about being tactful, does she?? Excuse me for being blunt, but that's just plain stupid. If only there was a subtle way of telling people that their ignorance isn't helpful. Great that you got some one-on-one time with Tiahna, though, and a moment to get something done for yourself too. It doesn't take much to make you feel a whole lot better, so I hope you get that chance to recharge your batteries more often!
Mecil - oooh, lovely! Your little holiday must have been gorgeous. It's nice up at Bargara (I'm from the Sunshine Coast originally), and it sounds like Zali is just so well behaved. Good for you!
deancey - I bet you enjoyed your "me-time" at home by yourself.
Abb - congrats on Hamish's baptism! Sounds perfect. And great sleep too! way to go!
Right, back to work...
