Happy New Year everybody!!! Here's to a happy 2008 with lots of sleep, smiles and fun times with our growing bubs!!! I'm sure there will be a few BFP's in our group this year too - how exciting!!!
It's so hot in Vic isn't it - no wonder a few bubbies are a bit unsettled at the moment. We had people over last night, my gf was actually due on the 30th and was here feeling sick all night so we are hoping things are starting for her. I sat in the a/c til about 2 then went outside by the pool with Izzy - we got her a clam shell and she sat in that all arvo playing with her toys and watching daddy in the big pool! It's way to cold for her to go in!!
We had a pretty tame night, the boys set off some firecrackers we got in Japan 8 years ago that I unearthed last night so midnight came and went with them whoooping like idiots on our street rather than kissing and hugging their wives!! LOL! We were all in bed by 130! I even had 2 glasses of champagne - felt a bit p!ssy even with that small amount! Amazing what not drinking does to you after 12 months.
Jan - OMG, that is so scary hun, I don't know what I would have done, and I tend to be far too trusting at times. Glad you are both ok though.
I'm back at work too in 4 weeks today actually.I know how you feel ladies, on the one hand I'm excited to get back into it, but on the other I'm worrying that I will be one of those people that doesn't do either thing well - I'm scared I will be stressing about Izzy and not be fully committed to my kids at school and wanting to leave early etc..or if I spend alot of time at school (inevitable
Izzy is still feeding 6 times a day right now, plus her sleeping is all over the place - gotta love the silly season. At least she's not waking every 3 hours anymore but she is screaming the house down at every nap. If I go in she cries even louder so there is no settling her, we just have to let her cry it out. It's awful but feeding, rocking, patting all don't work. If I try to feed her to sleep -she just feeds but is wide awake at the end of the feed and still cries. It takes her about 10-15 mins to drop off. I was going inand trying to settle her especially seeing as she sits up in her cot now so I was going in and lying her back down again, but it just made her worse. She must sit up and then get so tired she eventually lies down again. It's all bit beyond me again right now and we hate hearing her cry but our alternative is not putting her down for a nap!
All of this makes me stress about work too because some days I wake up feeling like death and the thought of working on those days is horrible.
Blah Ive cr@pped on way too long! Enjoy the first day of the new year with your gorgeous kids - stay out of the heat Victorians and will chat soon!
Kristen - whoohoo!!! The site looks amazing and Mia is the most adorable model isn't she! I'm going to email my Mothers Group and see if anyone is interested in doing a group session with you!! Otherwise I might do a family session with Al and I!! Your shots are so beautiful hun and really capture the personality of all the kids, you should be proud and I bet you will be run off your feet! You should get BB market place membership, you would be inundated with work!!
Sounds rude! Haha! Last night I cooked up a heap of vegies like potato, carrot, pumpkin, brocholli, zucchini and beans and I just mushed them all up individually with a fork and froze into trays. The beans and brocholli I did puree, and now we just choose what combo she will have each day - today she had brocholli, carrot and potato for lunch and pumpkin and carrot for dinner! Not sure about cheese yet though - although I need to start meat soon I think! Thats a bit scary not sure how to go about that yet!
Sarah - I hope you find something that works hun - sounds like you definately need a break.
Shell!!! Glad you had a fun night on Monday!!!
