HJ - I will definitely ask my friend about the swimming lessons. I think she would recommend them coz she told me I should take Lara, the only thing is that the pool she goes to is an hr away. The pool closest to us starts them at 6 months so thats when I will start Lara.
Didi - Well done on the weight loss. I might have to join WW. Did you order it online or do you go to meetings etc? What exercise do you do with it? I enjoy walking but the only time I get to go is in the arv coz I am busy in the mornings getting DD1 off to kindergarten etc but coz of DH's work schedule if I walked in the arv I would have to take both kids with me. Its ok taking Lara in the pram but when I take Cadence with me its hard coz she is only 3 and walks slow so it wouldn't be much exercise coz I like to walk fast.
DH, Lara and I went to the movies today. While we were in there Lara did the biggest poo. It was one of those massive ones that goes all up the back and front and leaks everywhere. It was gross. Luckily there were only 2 other oldies in there so we changed her while we were in there. It was so hard. Hope they couldnt smell it coz it was pretty bad.
Hi to everyone I missed. Gotta go get dinner underway.
Wow, I didn't know that could happen. So someone just pays for it for you? Do you get to find out who or is it a secret? I'd love it if it was a secret, how cool! Congrats to you both!
Congrats Didi on your 5kg too! Is WW expensive? Think i'll try it on my own 1st anyway. I lost heaps of weight after i got pregnant, just coz i finally had something to keep me eating healthy - even juice tasted too sweet in the 1st trimester. I know i can do the same now too, and am getting better, so we'll see. And I'm trying to get to the gym more often to give my membership a workout. Apart from my regular yoga workout (which i ADORE!), I've just had DH agree to watch Liam while i go on Saturdays, and i'm thinking my nanna might be stoked with a regular babysitting spot, so if she does i'll go then too.
For those who asked, my friend had a girl! Which is so good seeing they're deffinitely not putting themselves through trying again - so now they have 1 of each, which she was sooo hoping for. They named her Emily Alice, 3.19kg 46cm. I've only had the text (with pic! ), but I'm pretty sure they're both doing fine, apart from it being an elected c/s - so mum will be pretty sore.
The other good news (for me) is, since it's a girl, I'm pretty sure she'll be sending me all her boys clothes! My sister works for the buyers office for Myers and they get heaps of freebies. She was in bubs-wear when my friends boy was born so he was decked out in all the labels. She used to laugh that she had to have him play in all these top brands coz its all she had. Not that labels matter I know, but I do luuuuurve fashion and cute outfits!!!
Thank you all so very much.. i am in the 90KG though.. so it takes 5kg to see any difference! I go to Curves everyday for 30min when DH gets home from work at 630pm... its great..
WW is fantastic.. 59$ a month unlimited so i love it.. so fun so easy... i do all the online calculating points etc.. SOOOO EASY!! anyone can do it.. even a walk everyday is better then nothing!!
Good luck for Mia's needles tomorrow Hollye. Lara will get hers next week. I can't wait to weigh and measure Lara, hasn't been done since her 2month needles.
Wish my hospital or community health organised mothers groups up here. I need to get out and meet new people. Alot of my friends dont have kids and most work so it gets a bit boring sometimes.
Met up with a friend for lunch today. She is 31 wks pregnant. She lives an hour and a half away otherwise we'd catch up more often. She is having a boy.
Olive is getting her needles tomorrow as well, god I hate it!!! Good luck with Mia, Hollye
We had to go to the hospital last night as it looks as though I may have staph in my nipples again and not thrush and I also have a severly blocked duct which is desperatly trying to be mastitis so I am in agony. I feel as though I will have to give up BF and just express as I can't keep going on like this but the thought of giving up makes me feel so sad. Maybe I can just feed every couple of days. I've got my ABA meeting tomorrow so maybe those lovely ladies will have some advice for me.
Did anyone watch the documentry on ABC tonight called 'Bringing Up baby'? It's a new show that examines 3 different parenting styles and how they affect mothers and babies, it was really interesting. The lady teaching the authoritarian style parenting was so mean. She believes that all babies are manipulative and that you shouldn't pick up a baby or cuddle it because it will ebcome spoilt and that babies should only be fed 4hrly from birth. This poor newborn was screaming an hour and a half after being fed and they weren't allowed to go into it until the 4hrs was up, nearly made me cry.
Oh my OM. Would have told that woman to shove it. Poor baby screaming like that. Everyone knows that you can't spoil a baby. If you don't hold a baby when it needs it then it retreats and stops wanting to be held. OMG she needs reporting. That is child neglect. GGRRRRRRR ok vent over.
Good luck everyone for having needles done. I have to wait until Meara is better. She was really good last time so hope she is this time too.
My oldest turned 14 today. I feels so old lol.
I am also getting the colds or whatever it is that the rest of my family has and I don't feel well at all.
