LoL Ann that would have been funny to see, obviously not for u!!! hehe they are so quick arent they! its so frustrating to change Emelia other than her change table, she will roll over and start to crawl off with her dirty naked beehind!
Kim - Emelia is too clever for her own good sometimes!!! hows Chelsea going? hope ur feeling better soon too...
well done for joining the aba i really hope u can BF this time around, i know i will be trying my hardest too next time..in the future!!
oh Luua, you poor thing! sounds funny but i guess you would have been horrified poolside!
Kimbaz and Blanchie - i joined a local ABA group last year whilst pregnant. I found it useful to go along to the meetings, listen in, ask questions and get my head around the whole idea. Then closer to the event, i went to a 3 hour course with my partner. It makes such a difference getting your partner involved. Then when you are under the weather, doubting yourself, or having a hard time, your partner can be supportive, cos they are informed then. Without the support of my dh, i doubt i would still be bf-ing. It has been a challenge all the way, and i felt like giving up many times. I'm so glad we are still able to do it, but i sure don't take it for granted, it has been a concerted effort the whole time. So if you can do it, terrific, if you can't, well it's not an easy thing to do. All you can do is try, and do your best to get good info and good advice. It's so easy to get bad advice at crucial times (like just after labour) and give up. Important to build your networks LONG before you need them, so if you get crap advice, you have somewhere else to ring and ask for help. There are some great lactation consultants on belly belly too, i've asked for help online and gotten it here.
Bilby has bitten me FOUR times in three days. I remove her straight away and say No Biting, that hurts me, and put in in the porta cot. Feel awful for stopping her drink, but am doing what i have been advised to do. SHe only has two little bottom row fangs, not even fully up, but gawd they hurt!!! i really thought i was safe until the top ones come down! but no!
Tonight i was feeding her in a Westfield shopping town food court, and a group of about eight teenage boys were guffawing at me feeding her, she kept pushing up my top to access, and i kept trying to push it down, and whilst i was feeling quite embarrassed by this group of young men, i managed to get pickpocketed of my purse! Didn't realise until 30mins later when i went to pay for groceries in woollies. I was so distracted by bilbs mucking about and those silly boys, wasn't paying attention to my bag and purse.
Later at home, i rang the police to file a report, and while talking to the lovely cop, bilbs got hungry again, so there i am trying to answer the questions and then she bites me really reall hard, so i SCREAM at the top of my lungs, dh comes running and poor cop on the other end of the phone, doesn't know what is going on !!! :wacko:
Christy, the ABA group i joined is full of affluent career women, most meetings were about expressing milk. They were lovely people, just moved in very different circles from me, i felt out of my depth. Their houses were like mansions to me. There living areas were the size of our entire unit!!! I realised that group was not really my scene cause i don't have a profession or use a breast pump. i am looking for another group that has some SAHM's in it and a wider range of topics (especially how to deal with the biting!!!). BUt i think it's like playgroups, you keep trying them out, until you find a mix of people that suits you better, so it hasn't put me off, i'll find a more suitable group for me, is all.
Yeah I guess so Gigi... it just means I have to get off my behind & go LOL. I'm good at meeting up with people I know...but for some reason meeting up with strangers is scary.
Ann I hope you get some answers. Its pretty frustrating. Matilda lost weight between 6 months - 1 year and I was told it was because she was so active. Now we've found out differently but its hard when you don't know what the reason is beforehand. Our close friends baby lost weight & it was a good thing.... once he started crawling. Its hard because its taken us 2 years to get any answers and I went looking when she hit 12 months and only weight 8.5kg. Jovie weighs well above that now... scary.
Us... well I'm exhausted but happy. Good day today, rainy but we had friends over to play....
That really sucks, Gigi. I've found lately that all i seem to ask is 'What's wrong with people?'. you really have to wonder :(
Gigi - Ella went through a biting thing too. You're doing the right thing. You have to stop so they get that biting will stop feeding. Ella saw biting was a game. She'd bite and i'd pull her off me and she's giggle. Cheeky thing.
Tara- She was so suprised to see the poo fly out. Funny girl. How has Evie been?
Blanche - how funny chasing a dirty pooy bum crawling away.
Going back to the pool on Sunday. Meeting up with the other bubs from mother's group - can't wait should be fun.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Ann

Woo hoo Blanchie, wow, that's wonderful news to hear.
makes me smile.;)
None of the pregnant nature Kim!!! DH says I have to wait at least another year before he can think about it.... I reckon when Matilda settles down in a few weeks he may be a bit more maliable. I have said to him that now that we know about our kids and milk and reflux.... *fingers crossed* I hope he will think about it again.
oh my god... don't come on for a couple of days and your all multiplying like rabbits :)
Congratulations Blanche, and I hope you fall soon Jols. Christy - I'm sure you will have DH eating out of your palm soon. So Nelly, Tara, and Ann - anything to share???
I can certainly PROMISE you that there will be no such news on this front! I have my three and are very happy with that. I look forward to sharing your journey's Blanche and Jols (when you fall :) )
Aston has started standing up by himself, so he thinks he is the bees knees. Funny boy. he is making us all laugh lots. and knows he has the power to do it now!!
Is the sunshine wonderful????!!!!!
Beautiful sunshine Vicky!
No more news from me!
If the QLD meeting is going ahead, Friday is great for me to come up...anyone else? any idea for place??
on fire tonight...getting heaps done so feeling good!!
hope everyone's having a good night! (especially you AJP..may i call you jols?):)
TARA sure love!!! jols it is!!! im coming out of my shell now!!! any beers tonight??? had two glasses of red wine last night which i dont drink normally but was ok out of the fridge!! dont like room temp beverages!
VICKY sophie does the same thing, that and walking with us holding her hands with the biggest cheesy grin on her face!!
CHRISTY oooohhhhh another bub!!!!!!!!!
BLANCH how are you feeling??? any morning sickness??? did you get it with emelia??
KIM wow what 6 weeks to go??? man tha gone fast
NELLY hows jaky boy going???
ANN any news on Ella?? have you been to the the physio yet?
Ann, i was just thinking about Ella and you guys going to the physio today. When are you going? I'm really interested in what they have to say. (sticky nose me!)
Jols, yes indeedy - actually i forewent the beer and had a southern comfort instead...ahhhh.
so...just some opinions guys...havent had AF for months, DTD with nothing (no pill etc) then couple of days later got bleeding, which i thought was weird as only had 2 AFs so far and that was months ago. so just assumed this bleeding was AF. *shrug* *cough* cant bring myself to do test.
Is it too much of a coincidence that i got af just a couple of days after DTD and it didnt mean anything? I had heaps of bleeding with evie - like i mean an implantation bleed. *cough*
Just realised how appropriate it is of me to post that paragraph in the same breath as saying had a drink tonight *rolls eyes*
Maybe u are having another bub to Tara....join the club ;)
I know Jols... 6 weeks and ill be a mummy of 2 monsters...j/k. I mean beautiful, well behaved kids :P
Its gone way to fast, enhoy being pg so much more this time...but at the same time missing my lil Chels being a baby, but growing into a sweet little girl before my eyes.
Started my MCN today... have to say i HATE the BBH Magic Alls....i swear they are to small for Chels and wont be buying anymore....might try my luck with the OSFM bamboo when they back in stock. Monkey Doodlez i love...looks much cuter in them and have a more generous sizing. Was gunna give the Cute Tooshies a go tonight but went with the trusty sposie....
On another woohoo....Chelsea is back at FDC tomorrow....4 weeks with her home 7 days a week was hard!!! I finally can spend some time with Craig alone and get all the things ive been trying to do, done!!
TARA i think it's time to POAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go on off you go!!
KIM how much does chelsea weigh??? i've got medium for sophie and the velcrostill does up at the middle!!
Chelsea is just on 8.8-9kg Last weigh 4 weeks ago was 8.5kg, but i weighted her last week at home and she was 8.7kg. Theres no way it does up in the middle....i tried doing it tighter and when she sat her lil baby tummy rolled over the top :P
So i figured it was either to tight, or to small.... but their site says goes up to 11kg for the Mediums?? Or option 3...im completely useless and not puttin it on right?? hahaha
AJP- im feeling great, no morning sickness..i never had any with Emelia!!! hopeing it will be the same this time round. just a bit tired. off to the doctors tomorrow to confirm the pregnancy.
Tara- yeah go poas now!!!
Kim wooo hoo only 6 weeks to go cant wait
Vicky, thanks hun..i look forward too sharing this journey with u all!!
and Kim can give me advice how to handle 2 little ones so close hehehe :P
Woohoo AJP (or Jols) for the teeth. Watch out for the nibbling! ;)
Tara - we're seeing the physio in a few weeks. Every time Ella goes for tummy time she rolls over straight away. I can't keep her on her tummy. So we'll wait to see what ideas the physio has to say...velcro her down??
Kim - that's so fast. I remember when you'd just told us...are you less nervous about the birth?
Went swimming today with little Ella. She loved it giggling and kicking her feet. A happy little muffin. I'll enroll her to swim class when she turns 1.
Ann
Blanche pg with a lil one is easy.....except maybe urs might be a tad harder cos Emelia is older and wants to do more things, more active etc.....bit like Chelsea now....starting to get hard and picking her up is a challange..LOL
But ill let u know the fun size when i have the 2 kids here....and how ill cope ;)
Ann im petrified about the birth...worst then first time cos i know wat to expect this time..sure it might be different but i know the basics KWIM? Excitement is taking over nervous atm......every lil niggle i get im thinking OMG is this it....lol
I want to get Chels into swiming classes....but then i think, hmmmm im gunna have to squeeze my butt into cossies then...and ppl will see me.... *shocking look and thought*!!
We had a crap night. As per usual when we go to bed i check on Chels and tuck her in.. and the little bugger woke (this was 11.30pm) when i was moving her....wide awake....1.30am comes and i finally give up..she wont sleep so i left her screaming and then went to bed and lost it myself...
Ah the joys.....but KID FREE DAY wooohooo :D
right - this pregnancy thing had better not be catchy!!! nahhhh only joking guys... I'm very happy for all of you that are (including you Tara if it is to be)
What an interesting morning I have had - Dh's car wouldn't start and some how that ended up being my fault ??!!?? When I suggest "ring the RACQ" I promptly get moaned at. I swear I could have wacked him. He ended up gettng a lift from someone he works with - I rang the RACQ who got it started !! surprise surprise. Men and their friggin egos!!
Aston going down to have a sleep in a little bit - because he is waking at 6, by the time 8.30 rolls around he is ready for bed again. Then we are supposed to be goign out to meet mums and bubs - see how I feel. AF is visiting with a vegence, and I am in a fair bit of pain - oh the joys of being a woman!!
:lol: vicky - that's usually me doing the moaning and sighing and DH calling RACQ!
Wow how many bubbas have we got coming now?? We aren't ttc yet but maybe in the next few months we will start thinking about it - no AF yet.
Sorry have been slack and not reorganised brissy meet up when is good for you local girls - Vicky has her vote for Friday.... me I can do Wed Thurs or Fri this week or Wed Thurs next week.
*sigh* not feeling all there atm don't know if it is residual stress from my gf who's wedding is next weekend - and I am a bmaid - or if I am just getting run down. Had her shower lunch on Saturday has a few glasses of wine and was drunk! Woke up yday with a bit of a hangover but was home by 4pm and in bed by 9.... just getting old I think. DH was excited he though that with me being tipsy we might have a daytime special and dtd but that wasn't meant to be either!
I finally got Jake to eat some baby food I made on the weekend by putting it into a jar - cheeky monkey. Thank goodness buying jars was getting expensive!
Vicky - that's great that Aston is holding himself up now.
Kimbaz - i have a 8.5kg gal and i can't get the Cute Tooshies over her chubba thighs! So sometimes, it's not entirely about them fitting into the weight range, it's also partly things like "shapely thighs" ROTFL - just like her mother!!! Very glad we found other brands that are better for her ample thighs!
Ann - it makes me smile thinking of Ella splashing about , how cute! I have never taken bilby swimming, feeling unsure how to manange the poo part. Sounds ick huh? but it puts me off doing it. Everyone else and their dog take the baby swimming, i feel like i'm missing something obvious.
Taralee - keep us posted heh? And don't beat yourself up about one drink, i'm sure you wouldn't if you knew you were preg, that's a big difference. Mother guilt starts = even before you've conceived!
i made damn sure i had a ****tail last week when i turned 40. Bollywood Blockbuster. At a sunday lunch, no-one else had alcohol, i didn't care, i was having my ****tail!!!
Fridays used to be ok for me til I started swimming lessons. And Thursday afternoons at 3.15 Nathan has tennis lessons... far out! Wednesday works, because football training is over.
I had some distressing news this morning. Very close friends of mine, that I have known since I was 19, his mum is terminally ill, and only has a couple of months left. She was diagnosed with an agressive form of cervical cancer in April this year, had a complete hysterectomy, and two lots of chemo. When I saw them about 3 weeks ago, he said she was doing well - but when I looked at his wife I kind of got the feeling that it was not the case, and he didn't want to talk about it anymore, so I left it. This morning I heard from his wife, and things aren't good. Its amazing how something like this can pull you back from fretting and stressing about stuff I have no control over anyway, and put a completely different perspective on it. I feel like I have been given a gentle nudge that says "stop stressing - start living!" I think I have just pulled myself out of the hole I was in... :)
Vicki, so sorry to hear of ur friends mum, thats so sad :( may there last months together be special for them.
Glad ur feeling bit better hun :)
Oh Vicky im sorry for you to hear such devastating news. *Hugs*
