MOrning All and thankyou so much.

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines day. Well I am wanting to lose some weight too, just not sure on how I want to lose it yet. What is everyone else doing? Are any of you doing anything different?

How are all your little ones going? V is really good, shes such a beautiful little girl. It was a yr ago on Valtenines day that I mentioned to DH that we were expecting again and she turned 4mths on that day too. How appropriate that she has a V on her forhead huh.

I also have 2 sick kidlets at home today. Poor little ones. hugs

Hollye - V is pink not blue hun!!!!! hehehe

[STARRYSKY]

hello, im so slack.... i still like to read what u guys are all up to though!

weighed jacob again the other day, he is now 8.7kg little buddah. I was getting all excited about turning the car seat around soon, but then watched a shocking youtube video on front facing seats, hmm well, now I want dp to buy another car seat so he can stay rear facing for as long as possible!
Jacob has also started waking at night again too, the 4am feed is really getting to me, amazing how quickly one gets used to sleeping isnt it?!?

my friend finally had her baby, she was induced and consequently ended up with a csection, she is still in hospital, I feel a bit sorry for her, I went to visit her the other day and her mil was there, my gosh she is a big bully!!! I didnt even get to hold the bubba! not to mention all the crap she was spouting about babies!!

anyway7 my jman is awake now so id better go play! I really like this mum stuff!!!
xx

[[M]umma[M]ia]

new pics of Mia added.

[Leigh26]

Hi Girls,

Lara didn't wake last night (thank god) but I was still really tired today coz I had a bad sleep. I did manage to have a nanna nap this arv (its the first sleep I've been able to have during the day since I've had her).

Yay to all of you who have lost weight. I've been eating healthy so far today. Hope I can keep it up.

Lara had her first swim in a big pool today, she loved it. The weather is really hot up here in FNQ.

Gotta go & start getting dinner under way. Sorry for the lack of persies.

[STARRYSKY]

gee youguys have been quiet today!

forgot to mention earlier, totally bummed out as af has returned! I suppose i shouldnt complain too much, a year without is still good but i was hoping to not get it back while still bfing! is anyone who is bfing still not got theirs yet? if not i am totally jealous!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

great job amanda, HJ and OM on the weight loss... keep it up girls, we WILL tackle this TOGETHER xoxoxo

[DerbyMum]

Hollye - that was me who asked to be added to the list. Can you put me down to lose 12 kg? 0.5 lost last week. Not sure how I'll go this week. AF has returned (for the 1st time in over a year) and I WANT CHOCOLATE!!!!!!

Starrysky - Sorry bout AF for you too. I feel your pain! (only I'm not having physical pain, just emotional coz i hate AF - funny bout that ). Wow! Jacob is a big healthy boy! I wieghed Liam last week, still just 6.3kg. But I know he's healthy so all is good.

Have to call to make an appointment for Liam's 4 month needles. Has anyone else made that appt yet? He's 4 months tomorrow - YAY!!!!

oh, and my friend is going in for an elected c/s tomorrow! It's her 2nd bub. She's in her 40's, met her husband only a few years ago, they quickly fell preggers with their 1st son but she's basically been preggers for the past 2 years trying for her 2nd but had a couple of m/c's. *sheds a tear for her and everyone else who's had to go through the experience* She'll be so relieved to finally have her bub born!!

Hi to everyone else! Hope your little cutie's sleep well tonight. Liam's been fine apart from the night after he fell - possibly a pretty big headache??? (It's ok, I'm not actually giving myself as hard a time as it seems). Bye for now.

[hj1981]

1stbub27 - AF is back again for me this mth also! and i too am craving Chocolate BIG TIME!!!!!
And yep i have made appt for B to have her 4mths needles - its on Friday 13th!!!! in march - and im not taking her this time - DH is!!!

Hollye - thank you! ur such an encouragement! and ur right - together we will tackle it and lose the weight we want! well done to you also on ur loss!!!!

STARRY - stay away from utube video's - they put u off things! (like i mentioned in my PM).

Leigh - i so cant wait for B to have her first swim in a pool - now that we have brought a house with a pool we are going to get swimming lesson for her!! did u take lots of pics of lara swimming?

Cheryl - how are ur 2 little sick bubs?

Guess what everyone - i went and saw our psyhic yesterday - and 1st thing she said was Bianca was teething - she didnt even know Bianca or that i had, had her! She said there was a really old matriac nurse standing next to me telling her that my bub was teething and that i need to use panadol and or bonjella - she said they didnt have that stuff in her days, but cause we have them now i shouldnt think twice about using it (which i have been) she said bianca is in pain and needs it! So last night i gave her some cause she was soooo unsettled and screaming - she slept from 1930-0600 and is in such a happy mood this morning!!
she also said that she could see me pregnant again real soon - as soon as........ NEXT MTH!!! so im NOT dtd until April now - to avoid that from happening!
she said so much interesting stuff - was very exciting!

[hj1981]

P.S i have also put in some updated pics of Bianca in the gallery - if anyone is interested!

[STARRYSKY]

morning!

Jacob and I are off to babies morning at the local library today, it will be our first time so I hope it all goes well! The lady explained to me that they read a book then we all sing songs etc, will be nice to meet some other mums in the area. I joined the other day and joined jman up as well.
on my way back I am going to stop at the pool and ask about the babies swimming program, I was under the impression that they wouldnt take under 6 mths old bubs, but have now been told otherwise....jacob loves the big bath so much, I think he would looove the pool.

hj- if you dont want babies, make sure there is nothing under your bed! clean it out and vacuum!!(my mums a psychic, this is what she tells people who have babies around them) oh and youtube.....just as bad as google!!

1st bub27- you know its kinda difficult what with jacob being so big, everyone thinks he is 6months old! but also as he cant sit unsupported yet and all that its getting hard to lug him around, cant hold him like a little baby but hes not strong enough to hold like an older baby....

hi to evryone else and good luck with your weight loss, I must confess im a bit partial to the chocolate myself atm!!
xxx

[hj1981]

Thanks Starry - would u believe i have pregnancy books under my bed! hahaha its getting a cleanout and a vaccum when i get off here! PHEW!!!
Also i went to a library thing the other week - was quite good - u and Jacob should enjoy it!

[csab]

How funny HJ and Star. Did you clean under your bed HJ especially if you dont want another bub just yet?

HJ - I would love to go see a Psychic Medium, I must go and find one soon. Glad you enjoyed it. Well done on your weight loss hun. Thanks for asking hun, still have both kidlets home from school and now have the oldest at home sick today too. Nice happy household. Ohh and Bonjela is really good, really does help the little ones. So glad Bianca had a better nights sleep.

Star - So was your mum able to tell you that you were expecting last yr? If I was to ever have a little baby boy, I would be calling him Jacob, thats what V would have been called if she was a boy. Tell your mum I wont be cleaning out under my bed, if I ever want no.6 I need all the help I can get.

Hollye, Amanda, OM too on your weightloss.

1st - I hope all goes well for your friend, how exciting another bub entering into the world. Ohh and I luvvvvv choccie too, trying to cut down on it, has not been good lately.

Leigh - Arent you lucky having some nice wamr weather, its actually pretty cool down here atm. Glad Lara enjoyed her swim.

Anyway I used the Wii fit for 1hr 30min yesterday then hopped onto my Vibration Massage machine too shake all that fat away. Who has a Wii fit and are you using it? V my little bundle decided that she wasnt interested in going to bed last night she wanted to have lots of cuddles and play, so she ended up in bed at 9.20pm not her normal 8-8.30pm, still she slept thru to 7am tho so till slept, but had her little cry in her sleep abit thru-out the night. Poor bubba.

[Crystalwings]

csab - I'm doing weight watchers from home. I did this before to lose weight and lost 15kgs, 5in the first week but it's a little harder to shift this time. I also gave up smoking when I found out I was pregnant so have to be careful not to substitute food for ciggies.

1stbub - Olive is booked in for her needles on Friday arvo so DH can come and hold her again. Glad to get it over and done with, i'm such as wuss when it comes to needles.

Starry - I thought Olive was big, holydooly! I was going to turn her seat around to, don't think I want to know about the you-tube video but might put off turning her for a bit longer.

Congrats to everyone who has lost weight and good luck for this week everyone.

Olive had a shocker yesterday and the day before. I was sooo glad when DH got home and could give me some relief but unfortunatly he has trouble getting her to sleep. She was just whingy and crying all day and cat napping which is so not like her. She then slept for 5hrs yesterday arvo in our bed and then through the night so hopefully today is better. Hope she gets this tooth soon.
