I posted a massive boo hoo yesterday so won't go into it all again here but am feeling really ovewhelmed right now. Mum is taking Izzy today and for the night too so I am going to meet up with some girls from my pregnancy stretch class for the first time, plus am going to hopefully finish all my xmas shopping too. Hope you all have a great day.
Tan- Hope your feeling ok! Enjoy Christmas shopping (if you can enjoy Christmas shopping!!)
Hollye-When is the big move? And how come?
I haven't been able to log on for some reason, stupid computer! But everything has settled down again, I think it was just a bad day. We went out all day yesterday so that made me feel better and the little man slept really well last night so all in all, a happy mummy again! We had MG on Tuesday, he is now 5.8kg! And 60cms! No wonder his clothes are getting a bit snug!
Well we are off to do food shopping today (how boring!)
Hi to everyone else I've missed-still half asleep!
Tan - im am ALWAYs here if u need to talk. JUst take it one day at a time hun.. mwah xoxoxo
Hippie - If money goes in our favour we will be moving Feb/March. Why? Coz we can. lol the way i see it, if i dont get out of this town (been here for 16 years) i will be stcuk here when Mia starts school and things. So i need to get out and see a little i think.
Mia is off to have her needles today... she will prob be fine, its me that will be a mess.
Hollye-Good on you! What a nice change. I would love just to pack up and move! I think I would head towards Far North QLD. I would miss the family to much though!!
Sneaky - where abouts in Brissy are u? i may of already asked u this and if i have than im sorry - my memory not too good lately! hehehe
Hollye - do i know where about yet?
Tan - i will find ur post and read it - but i hope u are feeling a bit better! we are all here for u!
Well i had a s**t night with Bianca last night, and just when i though i was over getting upset i had to go outside for 10mins and have my own little cry! i was really starting to get a bit cranky with her also! Typical tho isnt it - just when u think things are settling down, they arnt! i just wish i didnt have to get upset with her - but it breaks my heart seeing her cry!
morning girls,
How are you all today? I am good except that I want to cut off my nipples they are so #@*$!# sore. I think i'll have to express again for a couple of days to see if they improve. I honestly never though BF would be so hard after 2 mths, argggggggg!!! Other then that we are great with Olive sleeping 9 and 8 hrs the last 2 nights.
How are your babies at putting themselves to sleep? Olive was good but now either wants to be fed or rocked/shushed to sleep which is getting a bit frustrating. I'm not into controlled crying so i'm not sure how I can change this behaviour. I'm also trying to get her out of the bassinette and into the cot. She will sleep in the cot of a day but not at night. Olive is almost 6kgs so is rapidly running out of room but i'll miss her in my room. Has everyone else done the transition to the cot or are some still in bassinette's? Do you have monitors if the cot is in another room?
Morning Olive'smummy - we had Bianca in her cot from Day 1 - i just knew it would be too hard to change her over! i started of with a monitor for a couple of days than it went off and has been off ever since!
Bianca usually self settles also - but for some reason last night we ended up having to rock her too sleep after a big long screaming session - she was like that for her afternoon nap also - maybe its just another one of their stages that they go thru!
Tan - i read ur other post - certainly sounds like u are going thru a rough patch - but just remember thats all it is - and before u know it it will be over!
u are doing a GREAT job! Both your little ones are happy and thriving - so DONT ever think ur failing at anything! I cant imagine how hard it is for u! and here i am thinking its hard with 1!!!!
I think putting Izzy in childcare for a day or 2 will be good for her and for u! she needs the interaction with some children her age - hence why she is prob getting up to mischief and u need the time alone with James! It will also be good for u too relax and or get stuff done while he is sleeping or having his belly time!
Also Tan - everyone keeps telling me if some one offers help than i should take it - well u should definatly take the help from u mum - she and Izzy will both love spending the night together! sounds like u got a great mum!
Never forget Tan that u are a fantastic mother!!!!!!
hmmmm suppose calamvale is okay!!! would be nicer if u moved closer!!!!!
and sorry i can't take Mia for her needles - i would cry too much - i hate needles - im not taking B for her's, Kev is!!!
hj - im in ferny grove
hollye - dont go southside! Lol nah thats ok
olivesmum - dd#2 is still in her basinette too - what we did with dd#1 is we put her in the basinette IN the cot for a while to transition and it was no drama. will do the same this time! dont worry about the self settling yet - they are still so young, plenty of time to learn
p.s - tan we'll have you up here too! we r friendly and the weather is lovely
Sneaky - i agree Hollye shouldnt go too far sth should she?! Riverhills (near Mt Ommaney is as far as she should go!) also Sneaky ur not too far from me!
OMG i dont want to be doing that needle thing again! i think DP is going to take her next time! She let out this horrific scream, i had tears streaming down my face. The lady kept asking if i was ok. lol
See.. KL is helping find matt a job and shes in Calamvale. wahahhahahaa
Thanks ladies! Feeling a bit better today - mum picked up Izzy this morning and I went to catch up with the girls from my class - James at nearly 6kgs is waaaay bigger than them all and he is the second youngest. I also did a stack of Xmas shopping - a bit more to go but I will do that tomorrow before I pick up my cherub girl. I've spoken to mum a few times today and she is having a ball and slept for 2 hours! She only sleeps for one and a half most days here cheeky girl!
Not sure who asked but James settles on his own during the day most of the time, either in his cot, hammock or in the bouncer and is still sleeping in the hammock at night. I think I will be scared to move him out seeing as he sleeps for 10-12 hours overnight! The movement definitely puts him back to sleep when he stirs. At least I can use the hammock for a few more months before I have to move him out, I know people have used to for up to a year but I think he will be out once is he rolling regularly. Off again to enjoy my peaceful day and wrap pressies while I can without Miss Mischief here. Have a great night all!
ETA - I find it hard to give James much nappy off time with Izzy around but he has had it off since we got home and is LOVING it! Can't wait til summer really kicks in! Must feel nice for him to be free but far out its much easier with girls That wee went EVERYWHERE!

Hollye I live in Crestmead, which is about 15 mins from Calmvale, would be nice to meet you once you've moved. I remember when I got my first boys 2mth needles I was a blubbering mess and also had the nurse ask if I was alright, hopefully she'll sleep well this afternoon.
Tan sorry to hear that your having such a rough time, I'll go and read your boohoo in a min. Try and relax a bit with Iz at your mums, sleep when James does and hopefully you will feel more refreshed.
Hi to everyone else.
I got to visit my brother and SIL this morning it was great to get out of the house and talk to some adults. Will got and pick up DH from work this arvo and have a look around DFO while I'm there. Julian is better was handing out beautiful smiles to my SIL and having a little chat with her, very cute.
Ok off to do some housework, before I have to go again.
Mia is sad.. shes been very cranky but i dont think its from the needles, its from her stuffy/yucky nose. She has had it for 2 weeks now.. i just want it to go away!!
ahhh amanda, i have been looking at houses in crestmead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! whats the area like?
yeh the nurse is like "oh geez we need some vallium for mummy" lol!
Mum is taking Izzy today and for the night too so I am going to meet up with some girls from my pregnancy stretch class for the first time, plus am going to hopefully finish all my xmas shopping too. Hope you all have a great day. 
Hope your feeling ok! Enjoy Christmas shopping (if you can enjoy Christmas shopping!!)
And 60cms! No wonder his clothes are getting a bit snug!
