Hello all,

Mummy4Life – gosh, I hope everything is ok with you. That sounds a bit scary, but I’m sure everything will work out ok in the end. I hope it’s not causing you too much discomfort at the moment and that it all gets figured out soon. Glad to hear that Phoebe is doing well – wow, six weeks already! My goodness how time flies.

Vic – Bugger that store. It isn’t the one I was thinking of, but I certainly won’t be going there myself now that you’ve told us about that. I’ll try that thing with the pegs, but I think Charlie will just want to have those pegs together with the other ones too! Oh well.

Kim – hope you’re doing well with your gorgeous little girl. Had to laugh at the 60 stirs of the cup of tea – wouldn’t it be cold by the time you drink it? LOL BTW, Mmm, choccie… I’m jealous!

Shazz – I’m so sorry you’re still feeling a bit crappy. The things you’re worrying about are things that we all worry about – I can relate to the b/milk thing too. If you’re feeling bad about stuff all the time maybe you could speak to someone? They might be able to give you some strategies to help. I’m sorry – it’s the bloody advice giver in me, but I just want to tell you some magic cure to make you feel better. Please PM me or email me anytime if you need to chat about anything. Big hugs to you.

Lea – poor Em’s bottom! That sounds so painful. I’m glad it cleared up quickly. Glad you went for a walk too – you’ll find you’ll build up your arm muscles and look gorgeous even more quickly when you walk with a pram! Good on you for going to mother’s group too. I have been meaning to go to one but they scare me – I’m not so good at meeting new people and I would worry about the potential *****iness (e.g., my child is doing this or that better than your child) and I wouldn’t be able to deal with that. DAMN that we all live so far away! Hope you enjoy the Learning Ladder party – I went to one about a year ago and they’re great.

Sheree – you poor thing. I’m glad that it’s all getting sorted out now though. I had been thinking about you but I didn’t want to bombard you with sms messages! Big hugs to you and I hope you and Lachlan are feeling better soon.

DH has an SDO today, which is nice. Just as well because we were up for a while last night with Toby because he had terrible wind pain. Thank goodness both our boys let us sleep in until 9 am though, so at least we feel somewhat human. Just going to take it easy today. Toby has been having a bit more trouble settling lately, so I’m not sure what’s wrong. He’s ok at night (except when there’s something wrong) but he is unsettled again this morning – we just got him up after quite a while of trying to put him to sleep. Hopefully he goes back to his normal self soon. Went for our first walk on Tuesday but it rained and I had to get a lift back home or the kids would have got soaked. Also went for our first shopping trip yesterday – I learned a valuable lesson which was that we will only be going to ONE place per day. We went to two different shopping centres and it was just too much. Tomorrow, if it’s not raining, we might take a trip on the train into town to have lunch with DH. Then it’s the weekend… yay! What has everyone got planned? We’re having a relaxing Saturday and then DH has a concert at Maleny on Sunday. Just trying to take one day at a time at this stage – if I think too much about what I have to do this week or next week I get too stressed! I’m down to 12 kg above goal weight, so hopefully by the time I go to WW to get weighed it’s only 10. I should lose it pretty fast if I’m able to exercise like I used to – fingers crossed! BIL came over with sticky date pudding and croissants on the weekend and I had an apple instead, so that’s a good start! Is anyone else who is b/f finding that they’re hungry all the time? If so, what snacks do you have that fill you up that aren’t too bad for you?

Wow, sorry, I know that this post is a bit of a mish mash, but I just wrote things as I remembered them because I haven’t got much time to post! Hope you all have a lovely Thursday and I’ll chat to you again soon.
