Elissa - wow your boy is definitely so so clever. Get onto that vitex I tell ya, fixes up your cycles. Hope you are feeling better real soon honey. Mwah.
Hi Vic - I am sure Leanne won't take offence, gosh if only we could learn from others. Where there is a will there is a way I always say. Great example by the way, but sorry you had to go through that. See I worry too with Lachlan that I don't spend enuf time with him, always busy busy busy! Always something to do!
Just poppin in to let you know that i have finally posted Colby's birth story. I'd love for you to all have a quick read of it. Only i don't think it will be quick as it is quite the novel!!!
Hope you all like it if you get the time to have a read.
Hope you are all well...glad you liked the photos. Sorry to those who did'nt recieve them i will have to check that i have an updated email address for you. I have 2 email address's for you Sheree. I sent it to the hotmail one. Do you still use it???? If not let me know the new one. You too Leanne!
Well i am a feeding machine at the moment so i better go and feed again! I think we might be in out 2 week growth spurt phase.
Vic - I never sit down and play, always doing paperwork, running off to the newsagency to work, cooking dinner, doing housework etc..... etc...... He is not a kid that is interested in me anyway he would rather do his own thing but he always needs me in the room with him.
OMG my child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!alias the DEVIL. We went grocery shopping this afternoon and he screamed the whole way. I opened a packet of bickies, gave him 1 he was ok but demolished it so fast, gave him another to shut him up again and he wondered why he was choking on it, he was shoving it all in his mouth at once. It was like he was a bilemiac, just kept doing it and crying and making funny noises and sounds. We played on the swings for a while - so that Daddy could pack our car with the groceries, we then came home for dinner and everything i tried to put in front of him he screamed and carried on at me! I got so frustrated (and I was feeling very unwell - ms hit me this arvo), that i rang daddy and said if you want your child too eat tonight you better come home and feed him (as I had, had enuf). He came home had no success, we tried him with 3 different types of baby food, then spaghetti, then yoghurt, didn't even want the yoghurt but eventually did (this is his all time favourite) But then he saw the bikkies on the bench, ohhh yeah he will have them. But nope, no way I was not giving into him. Then we gave him a sausage and he was ok with that for a bit and then threw most of it on the ground. Little monkey and I wassss so not feeling like I could deal with him, so he could have starved tonight for all I cared! Lovely mother hey! KIDS!!!!!!
vic - thankyou for sharing your story, you were very brave to make such a drastic life change, but i agree that being with your kids and feeling happy is certainly better than money. We too had a big change when DS was 7 months old, DH left his career with a top employer and we moved to the country to be near our family and friends and DH doesn factory work. We don't regret it for a second we are all much happier and more relaxed with our family and friends close by. Having said all that we may be about to move away again for DH's career...........
sheree - thanks for cheering me up, you are always good for a pick me up post. Oh you poor thing im sorry the m/s has hit you, hope it doesn't last long! you are better than me, if i wsn't feeling great i would have let him eat whatever he wanted, the whole packet of bikkies if it shut him up, so your not as bad a mother as I! Hope he is in a more co-operative mood tomorrow.
sara - i will ask Tania to send me the pics i think she's the only one who has my email address. Will definately give your birth story a read, sounds like you are doing a wonderful job with feeding. Colby looks so grown up already in your ticker!
Well ttc has been put on hold for at least a month. DH is about to apply for a promotion which could mean we would have to move up Whyalla way which is about 10 hours from home, and there is no way im going through pg birth and newborn again without family and friends close by, was awful last time and would be worse the second time around, so we are holding off ttc til DH gets an answer about this job. If he does get the job we will be living away for a least 2-5 years so there will be a big gap between kids, DH thinks he will be too old for a new baby by then so maybe no more babies...will cross that bridge when we come to it. This job is DH's ultimate dream job (and it pays incredibly well) so we are willing to sacrifice a lot for it.
Archie spent most of today sleeping so was an easy day for me, am thinking i should study something through TAFE externally instead of wasting my days in front of the tele or computer (not that i don't have fun talking to you guys!). Pretty sure Arch tried to say B@st@rd and ***** today, so we definately need to watch our language.
Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts and experiences. It's always good to hear how others do things
I am at work now so will be back on tonight maybe.
Sara ; sent you an email but did get your photos. Silly me did not look in all the right places on Outlook. We have emails going to specific folders now (love the rules wizard), and forgot to look in places other than the inbox.
Well Elissa, what CD are you on now? Are you OK with that?
GLad Archies HFM wasn't too bad though..
Hehehe Sheree Darcy and Lachlan would be great mates I think...two head strong little personalities.
Well we've had 2 firsts this week. Darcy can feed herself (but I'm so anal i load the spoon so it's not too messy), and she did a poo on the toilet this morning! She didn't want to, but had no choice after she started with no nappy on and I whipped her onto the loo. Poor thing was terrified and screamed, but she enjoyed the praise afterwards lol.
kim - i am on CD 46 now!! Still no sign of AF, who knows where she has disappeared to???...yes i am happy with putting ttc on hold, and am aware that this may mean no more babies for me. i felt a bit emotional about it last night, but it is totally my choice, DH didn't pressure me either way at all just told me there was a job up for offer and let me come to a decision on whats best for our family. I don't find it all that sasd that i don't get to do pg birth and newborn again, just feel quite gulity at times that DS may not get to grow up with a sibling as i have always had an extremely close relationship with my sister. there are huge positives for having no more babies though, mainly financially. Anyway i guess it will be a win/win whether he gets the job or not. Woohoo on Darcy feeding herself, it makes tea time much easier doesn't it. Poor Darc being scared on the toilet, i have had to do the same thing with arch a couple of times when hehas started poo without a nappy, he screamed too. Oh i should tell you too, that every time i look at the pic of Darcy in your ticker it makes me smile, she has got a lovely grin!
Work today was not too bad. I found some pink shoe polish for Katy's good shoes and that just made my day. We spent hours on the weekend looking for some and it took 5 minutes to find it in town.
WAY TO GO DARCY...... YOU CLEVER GIRL....
Katy will feed herself now too, butonly if it is on a little fork and only if we load it. I would not let her 'at it herself' yet.... too messy..... LOL.
Does anyone else put their bubs in the shower on their own? I tried standing Kaitlyn in the shower last night and she went as stiff as a board and cried her little heart out. It was so funny... I know I am bad for laughing, but it WAS a sight let me tell you.
Off to make tea (eggs on toast I think tonight,,,,)
BBL
I am quickly typing this before Jess wants her computer back. Our hard drive crashed on sat night and we have lost everything- all Riley's photos except the ones I have uploaded onto snapfish, all my school stuff and heaven knows what else. My dad just keeps saying well, you should have backed up (DER!!) We are getting a new hard drive but the computer guys (who looked about 17!) said that it would cost hundreds to recover our files. Hate being without a computer and am pretty upset about all the stuff we have lost too.
Hopefully will be back online tomorrow night.
oh no christine that is my biggest fear losing all of ryans photos i have backed up my back ups ( anal i know ) hope they can recover most of it for you
Bgr Christine. That happened to us. Doesn't it just tick you off big time. It was just before Katy was born and we have been anally back up ing ever since.
Lost a whole heap of digi scrapbook stuff though, and have not really gotten my 'stuff' back.
I hope you find some way of retrieving some of the stuff, esp the fotos. :hugs:
Had a huge day so off to bed. Katy is still up (we're waiting for her to slow down grrrr), so might leave her with DH.
I should be going to bed cos I'm mousepoo atm, but I just need to tell someone how awful I'm feeling. Darcy has been biting something shocking latey during the day and tonight she actually preferred a bottle of milk over me I'll see how she goes overnight.
I always said I'd be happy to wean when she is ready....but I so don't feel happy. Especially since she wants a bottle...all this work for nothing....
:hugs:
I'll see how she goes overnight.
