Suffering pretty badly here today as it was my sisters wedding yesterday. DH mum babysat from 7-12pm so that felt abit strange but was good to go out somewhere with just DH for a few hours. I drank way too much wine but I wasn't as drunk as I thought I may get as I paced myself well. Olive was asleep by the time I left to go to the reception so that made me feel better and I was only 5mins away from home. Olive looked so cute at the ceremony in her little gold flowergirl dress and was well behaved. Then when we got home I had to express so that took to 1:30am then my wisdom tooth as playing up so I had to get up and take something for that then Olive woke at 3:50am. She must have known something was up cause she hasn't done that for ages. So I got 3hrs sleep after over a bottle of red and feel like s*#t! She has only had 1 one hr sleep and 1 1/2hr sleep all day aswell. Don't think i'll be going out again for awhile, it hurts to much! Had a fantastic time though.
Hollye - Olive has also been teething for a few weeks now but it doesn't seem to bother her too much, just lots of chewing and drooling and I can feel/see the tooth just below the surface.
Didi - No solids here yet either, Olive is big enough! No but she sleeps well and is a very content bub so don't really feel the need to change things just yet and she is growing up so fast as it is.
We will try for another bub next year then if it's a boy DH will hopefully get the snip and that will be it for us. If it's a girl DH would really like to have 3 but i'm not that keen TBH. We aren't really using any contraception ATM just withdrawal so it's all pretty cas and if it happens, it happens.
hj - Olive still uses newborn teats as she has to work harder for the milk which is good if I can ever go back to bf. I have some advent teats with 2 holes which came with the bigger bottles but they are hopeless, to fast.
Off to see if I can get olive to sleep so I can. See ya's.
Hi all been extremely busy in the past few days and had a very sad weekend this weekend. We took our cat to the Vet on Friday as he had lost a lot of weight and we got a call yesterday morning at 8am and they said that he had really bad kidney disease and maybe bone marrow cancer so we had to make the hard decision to put him to sleep and then explain to the older boys that he wouldn't be coming home. It was such a sad day.
Julian has decided that he will roll over when he is sleeping and then wakes up screaming that he is on his belly and the last two nights he has been waking at strange hours in the early morning and then wanting a feed which is unusual and he won't resettle he wants a feed and he wants it now .
Didi I'm going to try and hold off until Julian is 6mths to start solids but will re assess if he starts showing signs, birth control absteince, lol, other then that nothing, and if I can talk DH into having No 6 will start trying maybe April next year.
Hollye teeth can start moving early and come up and down for months before they break throught the gum, Julian's have been moving around as he has been drooling heaps and I can feel his two eye teeth on the hop.
Hi girls. Just a quick one today. Want to get some sleep b4 tomorrow since cyclone Hamish is supposed to hit land right at about...Hervey Bay. They're talking about evacuations for a huge amount of houses because of the expected sea surge. Not sure if we'll have to since we're in one of the fewer higher up places, but think i might be tempted to anyway with Liam - especially since my grandparents are groundskeepers at one of the evac places. DH will probably stay here though.
AJ - really sorry about your cat. It sounds similar to what my cat had when i had to put her down (years ago, but they are part of the family so you never forget). How'd the boys take it?
OM - how cute does Olive sound in her little dress!!! Please put pics up when you get a chance!
Didi - I've started solids. He just has about 1tbs a day still. He tried avo today and liked it which i was pleased with. I had every intention of holding out (who needs more work), but he just seemed ready.
Contraception = nil. We're hoping to have our 2nd pretty close, although I'm hoping not too soon as suggested by my doc after my c/s, but whatever happens happens - never liked the idea of timing cycles or anything so that leaves it all wide open.
Just a quick one gotta get B and myself ready to see a friend i havent seen in 9yrs! should be interesting!
Hope all the bubba's are doing well!
Hollye - i havent lost any weight - had actually lost .3 when i weighed myself yesterday but went to a BBQ and the food was too good! how bad am i! so i acutally ended up putting that back on - thank god that it wast .4 - i think someone was letting me off lightly to teach me a lesson! so this week im going to work extra hard - my goal is too lose 1kg in a week! good luck with ur weigh in!
I think we all should set a goal on what we want to lose this week and see if we can all achieve it!
I wanna lose 1kg this week!!!!!!!!
No weighloss here this week. Too much yummy wedding food! I'm still the same weight though so thats good. I'm actually feeling ok about my weight as I put on 25kgs in pregnancy and have lost 20 all up so am pretty proud of myself. My MIL is on an apple and chicken diet for her high school reunion and has lost 3kgs in a week, doesn't sound healthy though.
I went to the dentist today as my whole right cheek is swollen from my wisdom tooth and i am in absolute agony. They basically did nothing, gave me more AB and said I need to get it removed then charged me $50. Wish I was a dentist, although I can't imagine some of the gross things they see.
hj - when are you moving? Are you getting excited?
1st bub - How is the weather up your way? Have you had to evacuate?
Hollye - Yay on your weight loss, the reductil is good stuff. I went to the dr on the weekend and got it myself. I took my first tablet this morning and went for an hr walk and then did some laps at the pool after DD1's swimming lesson, lets just hope I can keep the exercise up. Hopefully I will have a weightloss for you next week.
OM - Ouch on the wisdom tooth, hope the AB's kick in soon and you feel better. Glad you had a good time at your sisters wedding. It's my bday at the end of this month and I am planning a girls night out, its been ages since I've been drunk so no doubt after not drinking for ages I will end up that way. I am hoping I wont be hungover though, its way too hard having one with kids.
HJ - I like the idea of setting a weekly weightloss goal, mine is 1kg for this week too.
Amanda - Sorry to hear about your cat, hope you and your family are ok!
Didi - Im not starting Lara on solids until 6 months (that's what I did with DD1 as well). As for contraception I have the implanon in and I am planning on getting it removed next week. I am forever bleeding and stacking on so much weight because of it. It is a nightmare, it would be fantastic if it worked for me. I can't have anymore kids so not sure what contraception I will use, probably the pill.
Well DD1 has been sick since Saturday morning with a cold and now Lara is getting it and I have a very sore throat, I really hope none of us get any worse. Plus Lara has her needles this Friday.
1stBub - Good luck with the cyclone. I am about to watch the news to see what it is doing. I live in Cairns and I have to say I breathed a sigh of relief when it bypassed us, after going through cyclone Larry (plus many others) I get scared when I hear of them coming close to us.
Gotta go and start cooking dinner, hi to everyone I missed.
