Afternoon Girls!
Just got back from a birth. So very tired!
Baby GIRL was born at 12.28pm. No weights or mesaurements while i was there. Quite a small baby but she was beautiful all the same. It was a very emotional experience for all involved. Baby latched immediately!!!
Mum and bubs are doing very well....
Well i am stuffed! I can't believe how tired i am from the experience.
Welcome back VIC!!! Ofcourse we remember you hun!
Hope you are all well....
BBL!
yay Vic we missed you :hug: i did the same thing with Ryans babiesonline i lost the lot for not logging in before the time frame ran out it is so good to have you back
Thankyou all!
Feel much better sort of.....
Hey Vic! Did Dylan start school this year? Do your ILs still suck? I moved 600km away from mine lol.
That's great Elissa! Unless you can earn big $$$$ you have to do something you're passionate about.
Cool Sara!
Yep, Dylan has now started school, he's in prep and Hayley is grade 2. Mel and Adam are now in cc 3 days a week. 2 days I'll be working with DH and 1 day to myself.
kim - IL's have actually sort of improved. DH's grandparents finally met the kids at xmas time and that seems to have made a huge difference to MIL's attitude about the kids. Its like shes now allowed to acknowledge them. IL's even had 2 older kids for 2 nights in a row a few weeks back just because. FIL still treats dylan like a god and the others like crap but MIL knows this and does her best to make up for it and try to change him.
Adam has been a right little bugger, into everything.
kim - so is cam not living with you anymore? or is that just temporary?
sara - wow to becoming a doula. Are you enjoying it?
No no - even though I have wished him away. He went to the NT to work on a taskforce at the beginning of October - the day after we moved to a country police station. So Darcy and I have been living by ourselves for a while. I have to say we love it and my little person is going on 25 lol. Will be an adjustment next week.
I'm so glad things are better between you all. I was only thinking about you the other day.
OMG Vic YAY *squeals with delight* I am so so happy to see you in here!!! Glad to hear that things are going well and that the IL's have improved! Are you staying now?? Pwetty pwease.... lol
Girls, I suck I know!! Will be in for personals later tonight I promise! I love you all.
sure nat.....:P
vic - hi! great to hear from you! Hope you and the kids are all happy and healhty and enjoying the new year.
sara - woohoo on the birth!
kim - glad your feeling slightly better about things. yeah, i certainly wont be earning the big bucks in childcare but at least i'll enjoy it
nat - yeah you suck! LOL, no you dont, you just have a busy life!.....wheres those promised personals????? Are you looking forward to going back to uni next month?
Archie refused to have a sleep today, we went to a friends birthday tea and at 9:00 Archie fell down the stairs (didn't do any damage, except to his pride!) and that was the end of him, he was absolutely beside himself. I took him straight home, and as soon as we pulled in the driveway and started crying "bed, bed, bed" he didn't stop saying it til he was snuggled in his bed and i reckon he fell asleep before i closed the door! Am happy with myself, someone at the birthday asked if i was going to have any more kids i told them no, and they went on about how Archie will have "only child syndrome, blah blah blah" and i actually stood up for myself and told them i wasn't interested in risking PND for a second time, and that shut them up quick smart, yay for me, i usually dont say anything and then stew on it for months.
I know, I know... I am such a shocker aren't I!!!
Honestly every time I sit down though something comes up. Like right now I have a naughty toddler running around eating pretzels lol. Okay now he has lost interest and is instead massaging my feet and arms with moisturizer. I have no idea where he learnt that from but I'm not complaining lol.
So very quickly...
Sara OMG at your first birth that is amazing you lucky thing!
Ellissa I am looking forward to it and I'm not. I swear I need some sort of structure to keep me organized but I am really not looking forward to having Em back in CC 3 days a week. Right now I miss him when I'm at work. I'm gonna hate leaving him so much again :( That is fantastic that you stood up for yourself! And besides don't those people know that there is middle child syndrome, baby of the family syndrome... in fact there is a syndrome for every number lol. Looks like you'll be on the study band wagon as well YAY!
Kim Oh wow its time for Cam to come back already! I know exactly how you feel to a point with someone coming in and 'disturbing' things. You get used to being on your own and doing things your way as I'm sure you know. Buggar about missing her first hair cut. Have you got a photo? I am growing Em's out and it is starting to look like a mushroom cut lol. Very cute!
Sheree are you telling us the sex or keeping it a secret???
Christine Are you working full time now :o
Alright guys that is all I can see! Lame personals I know. I will try and get back in sometime this week. Please know that I always read and I still care heaps!
love to you all!
Elissa: I told the new boss that I might not come back to work after the baby and he freaked out saying I have to.....Its nice to feel wanted ;). Well done on the course! And finding a good place for Archie! Jayden’s been having his day naps late at about 2pm which makes me think he might be getting out of his day sleeps
Sara: It was me that had dizziness before, I put it down to low blood pressure and tiredness. I haven’t had it checked recently but I have my 1st Ob appt Thursday. No idea about hte birth just yet, just want a healthy baby in a reasonable time LOL If the birth went exactly the same as Jayden’s I would be happy (obviously thats not going to happen though). I promise I’m doing anything to the managers ;). Yay for the safe birth! Have they named her? Where are those pictures of the girls??
Kim: Hope everything is ok, I know what you mean about men disrupting the routine. I hope everything goes well for you. Well done on the weight loss!
WELCOME BACK VIC!! I was just thinking of you the other day! Thanks for the congratulations! Great to hear the IL’s are getting better. Jayden has started to get into things that he never has before lately......least they grow out of it eventually hehe
Nat: I’ll swap toddlers if you like, I could do with a massage!
On Sunday Jayden needed some “alone” time so he took himself to his room layed on his big toy dog and read books. I went to check on him & he had his dummy so he quickly laid down on the dog & pretetded he was going to sleep. I just left him & Chris & I checked on his about half hour later, we thought he was asleep, but instead he had found my jar of Nutrimetics Nutrarich oil and had opened it and put it all over himself, his books, his dog, the carpet!! I couldn’t believe it, he has never gotten into anything like it before (my fault for leaving it in his room though). So my $47 bottle has a tiny tiny bit left in the bottom...lucky you don’t a lot at a time!
I better give Jayden some breakfast & get ready for work, have a great day!
Hi Vic welcome back.....
nat - can you send Em to my place, i'd love a massage! oh it must be hard missing them during the day. thanks, you have given me a great comeback! I love that, i have never even thought about middle child syndrome and all the rest, genius! we love you too, and we know you are a busy woman!
tania - gosh you must be so good at your job, bet you've got the boss peeing his pants now LOL! when Arch has a sleep its not til 1:30 or later as well, bummer i thought he'd be having day sleeps til he started kindy. OMG at the oil!!! did you manage to clean it out of the carpet okay?
leanne - hi, hows things?
Arch slept in til 9:30 this morning, bliss! He has been Mr Crankypants all day though, he is in his bed now, i just hope he has a sleep today. DH just applied to SATAC for Bachelor of Nursing, if he gets accepted he will just be doing 1 subject at a time til Arch goes to school and i start working full time, then he'll study full time and just do aybe casual enrolled nursing or something, anyway, that is the grand plan for now, im sure knowing us, that it'll change many times by then!
Ellissa WTG for your DH! I have a super soft spot for male nurses! Smart move to get his foot in the door now too. It will make the transition to full time study easier for him later. The massage was very very cute!
Tania Oh no... that oil is so expensive and lovely! What a waste!!! I bet he smelt lovely though lol! How is everything going pregnancy wise? (scuse me if I've missed posts lol). I am still so excited about you and Sheree!
Well I've just updated the Weight Loss Challenge and I am so impressed with everything! We have as a group lost a huge amount of weight and cms!! Amazing stuff!! Even I have managed to do alright :D
Now its time to pay some bills before I get into trouble lol :redface: Internet banking makes life so much easier but I am still too lazy to get on to it and pay bills.. honestly - I am hopeless!!!
Tania - PMSL, adam does things like that on a daily basis. Last week he emptied a container of hundreds and thousands onto the girls bedroom floor. Not the easiest thing to vacuum up. This morning he squirted a water bottle all over the floor. I have a very long list of things that he has done wrong.
Elissa - Good luck for your DH, hope he gets accepted into nursing. Are you going back to FT work soon?
Lea - what are you doing a weight loss challenge for? Photos of you are always of a skinny minnie LOL.
kim - good to hear that you and DH are intentionally seperated.
Off to pick up kids from school.
nat - ooo i'll have to keep an eye on you then LOL! yeah its great that he is taking baby steps with this, at the moment it will take him 12 years to finish the course, but it wont cause in a few years time i will support him and he can do it full time. Great going with the weightloss challenge! Oh i stuffed up the bills last week and now we are overdrawn in both acounts!! I haven't done that for years, i paid too many bills, at least the bills are paid though iguess.
vic - no im not going back to full time work til Arch is settled into school.
been ringing around all the kindys and primary schools and finding out when to enroll and what the costs are etc etc. There is 1 private school i really like and 2 little public schools i like, will probably enroll in all of them and pick one when the time comes.
Elissa: No I haven’t got it out of the carpet yet but its not really that noticable, I’ll probably get it steam cleaned or something. GL chosing a school! I have enroll Jayden in Kinder soon as there are only 3 descent Kinders in Bundy and they fill up fast!
Nat: He did smell good...but I put him straight in the bath so it didn’t last long, although you could smell it as you walked in his room. Well done on your weight loss but I have to agree with Vic......you don’t need to lose weight you look great in the pics I’ve seen! Pregnancy is going well, not sick at all anymore but I do get bouts of tiredness & a little dizzy which I’d say is my BP. I have my first Ob appt tomorrow arve....I’m so excited! I am just enjoying the journey this time round, time is flying and I am actually looking forward to the birth (crazy I know!). I must admit I have had a couple of negative thoughts the last day or so because of something I read.....but I know better than to worry about things that probably won’t happen so I have just been dismissing them as soon as I think them.
Vic: Poor you! I’d go nuts I think with hundreds & thousands haha Nearly all kids go through it though don’t they? Least we know they grow out of it
Where is everyone? Its been so quiet! I keep wondering what Chris is going to be like when the new baby is here....He doesn’t acknowledge the pregnancy at all, tells me to “stop going on about it” if I briefly mention anything about it.....and he has been saying the line I hated most when Jayden was born “Well you wanted kids” It annoys the $hit out of me! I told him if he says it again he will have no kids....then I said the ony reason I’m still here is because of the house! I felt bad about saying it but he hasn’t said it since either.
This morning I got up and had a shower, I had just gotten out of the water and Chris yelling at me asking what I was doing because Jayden was crying (Chris was asleep) He said I had been in the bathroom for ages and Jayden wants a bottle...I asked why he couldn’t get it but he ignored me so I had to stop what I was doing to make Jayden a bottle, poor little guy was hysterical by this time. Chris ended up getting up but OMG was he in a bad mood! He was picking at me for little things I had or hadn’t done....I just laughed at him and told him maybe he should call his work and pre-warn them that he had his grumpy pants on today LOL I love patronising him when he’s in a mood. I told him not to bother coming home tonight if he was still in a bad mood. I haven’t spoken to him since so who knows.......Sorry for the rant!
Vic - Pics of me from last year were skinny minny lol! I put on 8kgs from last summer :o and was quite disgusted with myself. Mind you I carried it well and was still a size 10 so no biggie. But the biggest part was I didn't fit into any of my clothes lol :redface: Add to that I wasn't exercising and eating take away over 10 times a week :doh: I felt rotten and decided a life style change was needed. Hence the reason for the challenge. Its been great. The biggest changes have me going to the gym 5 times a week and sweating it out hard. And cooking in the kitchen... I actually cook dinner and eat healthy stuff lol. Which is amazing. What's going on in your life? Is everything ok? What happened regarding the sudden departure? Email me if you like...
Tania It is very quiet in here eh! Oh Chris would annoy me!!! How could he not be amazed by your gorgeous belly??? I would have hit him if he had done that to me this morning lol. What is with men??? And you're not crazy at all! I am so looking forward to my next labour and birth and I'm not even PG lol. Yea it hurt at the time but I really embraced it and enjoyed the whole experience so much! Glad to hear things are going well so far. Can't wait to hear how your appointment goes!
Ellissa I was extremely lazy and didn't pay my bills for ages lol. But they're all done and up to date now which is a relief. I have Em's name down for a private school here that goes R through to Year 12. I am also considering putting him down at another private primary school and then having him go to my old high school as well. I really want him to go to school with his cousins though. The school is slightly out of my way, one is a few minutes around the corner and the other is 5 - 10 mins down the highway. I'm still weighing up my options - I might just put his name down at both and see where I'm at when he starts school. You never know hey?
I am craving chocolate mud cake.... mmmmmm! Pity there is none here lol. Not much else happening here. Spent the day at home for a change and got lots of paperworky stuff done. Still have a heap to do but its a start lol.
Hello everyone, busy over here. Nothing exciting though, just working and life in general....
Katy's been good, work has been good, Mark is good, so all is good!
I've been reading all the posts, and had so much to say, but now haven't got a clue. Der....
Well... I'll be back a little later. Missy is really NOT wanting to go to bed tonight, so better tend to my little princess.
Love to all
MWAH
Oh, Nat, is it too late to put my weight and cm's lost in? It's not much, but every little bit helps eh.
