Didi - Yep I am on reductil, pretty much what Hollye said about it sums it up. I was on it a few years ago and it worked wonders with the weight loss. This time I am struggling a bit more to lose the weight but think that is because I don't have as much time up my sleeve to exercise as much. The only side effect I have as well is the sweating (didnt have that the first time I was on it) but my sweating has subsided a bit in the last few wks. I pay $80 a month for mine. When I was on it years ago I used to pay $130 a month so it has gotten cheaper.
Hollye - How come the dr put you up to 15mg? Is it coz you werent losing as much weight as you would have liked to lose? Maybe I need to go on the 15mg as well. Hope Mia is ok, I will read your other thread shortly!
OM - Ouch, bet it hurt when Olive bit your boob. Wow almost 3 teeth, Lara still doesnt have any. DD1 never got her first until 7 months. Bummer about Olive being allergic to apple and pear. I haven't started Lara on solids yet so not sure if she is allergic to anything. Hope you're enjoying work!
We had a few drinks on Friday night (about 4 -5, I wasn't drunk or anything ) but on Saturday morning I woke up feeling hungover. I felt like crap all day and DH had to work 12hrs, it was a nightmare. Must be coz I havent really had much to drink since before I fell preg with Lara.
How much in what period of time you have been on it?
Also.. i went for a walk tonight.. and saw a guy under a lamp post getting off... it was awful.. a friend of mine and i saw it.. MAKES ME SO SICK.. awful people out there
Didi - Ew! How gross. There's been several of those around here on the beaches where the backpackers go. Pretty awful.
Leigh - isn't that weird how drink effects so much now.
Olive - How are your parents doing after the floods? Does it take long for insurance to kick in? How are you feeling being back at work? (even though its only been 2 days so far). Obviously you're feeling better about the decision with Olive being more settled the 2nd day, but while you're at work how does it feel?
Well sorry its been so long since ive been on again. just had the in-laws over for an extended weekend - 4 extra adults squashed into our very small house. It had me getting the house ready for 1 1/2 weeks prior to their arrival, happily gaving up our room and my sewing/scrapping room, we borrowed a camper for the 15 year old nephew while DH and i squeezed into Liam's room on the floor. And of course while they were here I was constantly on the go with looking after them and all the usual work involved with a baby. Well, it all was going pretty well I thought, until the last night when my usually bubbly SIL was talking to us and told us quite bluntly that they were leaving ASAP the next morning (meaning they'd be waiting @ the Sunny Coast for HOURS) because they felt so unwelcome. !!!!!!! WTF??????? !!!!!!! We're not the most natural entertainers, but not welcome???? Well, she was being a bit dramatic and I went off to bed before i said or did something i might regret. Poor DH then had to deal with the blow up (a smaller one than if i'd stayed up!). The excuse the next day was she's just recently gone back on the pill and has been really hormonal. So the whole time she's been taking all sorts of things completely the wrong way. Still, poor DH has been wanting them to come and see our new life up here for 3 years (while my parent are up 3 or 4 times a year) and had FINALLY got them up and it left a pretty bad taste in our mouths.
Oh, also, last Thursday when DH went down to the Sunny Coast to pick them up, he ended up almost blowing the motor and its still down there, going to cost $3500 to fix. Goodbye stimulus package plus plus plus....
On other news Liam is soooo active ATM. He's finally rolling front to back and back to front, and you turn away for a second and when you look back he's completely changed position and direction on the floor. He's not far from crawling. He gets himself up on his knees, then pushes up even further and gets up on his toes! Like a plank in yoga, and holds it for a fair amount of time. And he's sitting up sooo well and even keeps his balance while moving around and reaching for things. Look out world, Liam will be on the move soon.
I'm off to see my new nephew today - with everything else i haven't been able to see him since he was just 1 day old.
Hollye how did Mia's appointment go? I hope all went well, big
1stbub yay for getting to see your nephew again, I can't wait until my brother and SIL have kids, it's going to be so great to be an aunty. Pfft to your SIL how rude was she.
Well it was good having mum down but she was only here for a while and it was way too short, hopefully it won't be long before I get to see her again.
Julian is having a bit of a problem with his teeth I do believe, he's waking two or three times a night which he never does and won't go back to sleep with out boobie and the newest thing today is fighting all his sleeps so far he's only had one sleep today and I'm trying to get him to have a small nap before his dinner feed, I must admit I have no idea what is up. I can feel a lump where his bottom teeth are so hopefully it's just that and once they are through he will go back to sleeping as I'm soooo not use to getting up at night, lol.
Woohooo, look at my avvy, yay, I wish I was that hot.
Hollye - I hope today went well, I still didn't get to read your other post to see what it's all about but am hoping all is good for you and Mia.
1stbub - good to hear from you. God all the relo's visiting sounds stressful, glad to hear Liam is good though. Olive is almost crawling as well.
The insurance assessor visited my parents yesterday and was really good. They can start getting quotes right away so hopefully it won't be too long before they are back to semi-normality.
Work has been delayed again as Olive is sick again. She has had diarhhoea(sp) for 72hrs and hasn't been feeding properly. She has also had high temps so have had her to the doctors and then up the hospital this morning. It's so stressful, I went to work yesterday arvo but when I got home DH was beside himself as Olive has been screaming so I stayed home today and we both looked after her. The hospital said that she is a bit dehydrated but not enough to need any intervention thank goodness and just to try and keep the fliuds up. She has just been biting the teats alot though and there is no easy way to get fluids into a baby that doesn't want to drink. The poor darling also has the worst nappy rash from all the diarhhoea. They took a sample but that won't be back for a couple of days so was probably pointless. Really hope she is on the mend.
