Babies Born May 2007 #14

Shell- all my great laid our plans turned to pot when the wind down here put the power out for hours! I was a happy camper I tell you, I went to get my gf's pressie but the shopping centres power went out and I had to leave, and then I got home to find it out at home too. It didn't come on til 530- I made the cake and put the lamb roast on and managed to get it all done but was exhausted by 10!!!!
I go on my own to the pool at the moment Shell once a week with her! I got a Laurie Lawrence DVD and it shows you how to get your baby used to different breathing and other techniques so by the time she's a bit older we will start lessons... I know it's really important and she will go to lessons once she is old enough to understand intructions, but right now when its about familiarisation I can't justify the $10 a lesson for 20 mins....
Ok Im off shopping with my mum today - yay!

Shell - I will happily slap you for considering having another one!! I've just got back from my OB where I got yet another lecture about not resting enough, not eating well enough blah blah blah. I've only put on 2.5kgs all up and he keeps telling me I should have put on more and I'm obviously not taking care of myself. I keep telling him eating is a bit difficult when you feel sick all the time, constant heartburn when you do eat, and just plain feel full before you even start. And as for sleeping/resting, if he can tell me how to do that while looking after a very active 11 month old I'd happily do it! Not as if you can just say now Iz, mummy's going to have a sleep for a couple of hours so just play quietly on your own, don't pull the tv down on top of you, don't harrass the cat to the point that she scratches you, and don't turn the oven on again. Yeah, right!!

Sorry girls. Feeling a bit sorry for myself today. Just want this baby out so I can try to feel a bit normal again, and have energy to play with my princess.

So, Shell. If you want someone to smack you around for considering more kiddies, I'm your girl!! I hope your little princess is feeling better today - horrible when they're sick.

Tan - sounds like your swimming DVD has been worth the purchase price. Good for you. Izzy loves her swimming classes too, although I'm not sure how I'll keep them up when Ned is born - might have to talk my Mum into coming with me, now that she's going to be living back up here in the suburbs!! Enjoy your shopping trip.

Thanks LULU!!! When I mention ttc, feel free to slap away!!! In all seriousness, don't think we will have another, school fees have just gone up, and with 2 at school next year, I think it is going to be a tight budget!! I will live my cluckinees through all you guys (feel free to remind me of bf/nappies/sleepless nights etc etc))!!!!!

Angus loves his lessons too, but it is expensive to pay for 2 x kids for lessons. Our pool is a bit cool now, as I was practising with him at home also. Not sure what to do over winter, no heated pool around to take him to myself.

Oh Lulu, not long to go, I totally empathise with you. This last 3 weeks is going to seem like a lifetime hey!!! It must be so hard to keep it together, You are amazing to still be sane at this point!!!!

DD is feeling heaps better thank goodness. Hopefully no one else gets it. She basically just had really high temps and a sore throat. Lasted a day and now she says she is fine - weird!!

Anyway, just put Angus to bed so better hang out my washing.

LOL Lulu does that mean that number 3 is out of the question?! Not long to go, hang in there!

Shell glad to hear your DD is feeling better, fingers crossed that nobody else gets it.

Tan hope you had a great shopping trip!

Hi to all the other yummy mummy's, I'm just quickly dropping in (should be cooking dinner!). Had a busy day catching up on the housework so I think that I will take my princess shopping tomorrow yay!
Catch ya's all later!

[Shellbelle]

Hello out there!! Is quiet today - is everyone kk shopping!!! I have been today!!! Was actually pretty hard - but I think I did well in the end!! Was so much fun! Anyway, gotta organise my kiddies for DH, I am off to work tonight!! Wish I wasn't, I am so tired, and the thought of 12 hrs work makes me feel worse! But anyway, I have to go - no choice in the matter!!! Have a good Fri night!!

Hello!!!

Anyone remember me????

I'm sooooo sorry that I just dropped off the face of the earth. I just completely ran out of time for this place and was getting a little bit too obsessed with it!!! And, I found Facebook (big mistake). I'm back in the workforce aswell - just two days a week but it just makes my spare time all the more precious!

So how is everyone??

Lulu - I've been wondering how you're going - I can't believe you're ready to pop again!!! Amazing. I don't know how you've managed to stay sane - you're a champion and deserve the biggest, brightest medal!!!! LOL. I'll have to keep popping in to hear all about the new arrival.

Tan - Congrats on the pregnancy too.

Sorry guys but I'm not even going to attemp to catch up and can't promise that I'll keep on posting but I'll definitely try!!

Luke is just amazing - he's soooo goregous and just such a happy little boy - the poor boy gets covered with hugs and kisses ALL day long!! He's still not crawling yet though - he's a bit slow but I'm not complaining. He's getting around though, just not crawling 'properly'. He gets right up on his knees and rocks (has been for about 3 weeks now) and I keep thinking he's going to go and next thing, he's back on this tummy, comando style!! So cute. He'll get there eventually. He's waking a few times each night still too - we had about a month of sleeping through but for some reason, it just didn't continue and now he thinks 5am is morning - just delightful!!

Anyway I must go - I just wanted to say a very big hello to you all and send you my love - I think about you all the time and am extremely ashamed and embarrassed that I disappeared like I did.

Take care.

Kelly xxxx
