we had decided on starting IVF this december BUT now i am having second thoughts and soo is DH...comes down to my emotional state RIGHT now... and the way i am dealing/handling things at the moment definatly goes AGAINST having another bub
I am thankful for having Jack and getting pregnant first go with IVF, i honestly don't know how i would go if it didn't happen first time round again if we did try again..if you know what i mean??
Kat - have you had the implanon before?
I had it in a little while ago and the mood swings were terrible.
ANd i bleed for almost 2 months straight... just food for thought.
We are only have 2 children. I am atm not on contraception but we are probably going to look at some permanent contraception soon
PP yep had implanon, NO bleeding for the 3 yrs straight it was in...NO weight gain & NO mood swings
NOT 100% positive about getting it just yet BUT is certainly in the books...
although it wouldn't be for contraceptive purposes..as my tubes are surgically blocked so can't fall pregnant anyways...
So dont miss me too much for the next few days and I hope you Melb girls haven't all melted whilst I'm gone
belfie - woohoo X on rolling, Z is trying - he gets on his side and teases me back and forth, then thinks that is hilariously funny, one more kick and he'd be there the cheeky thing
PP - we are looking at permanent contraception as well too LOL - well DH will be We will wait until Zander is 1 though until we finalise anything.
Hugs to all, gotta finish packing now kids are finally in bed - I forgot how much space a portacot and pram take up!
I just noticed my post count has gone backwards, I hit 1000 over 2 weeks ago - whats going on??? Or is that like me saying I am 23 cos once you hit 30 start counting backwards to 21 or something ....... hmmm
csab - Good to see you're back and good to hear Olivia's doing well. The pics of her are so cute.
katones - Wow teeth! Maya drools but no teeth here.
Sami - When I saw your post I thought you were leaving BB! hehe.. Have a great time at the coast.
georgi - Thanks for the link of sleep schools. Though I don't know if I need sleep school.. more help with routine and what to do with her during the day.. I guess some settling tips too. I might ring them and see what they offer though. Ohh.. my mum gave a great book called "Games to play with babies". So I've started looking through that and it's giving me some ideas which is great.
Well I successfully made it to my mothers with no crying. Then Maya cried for a little bit when I first left and I held my breath. But then she went quiet so she must have fallen asleep. And she cried again when I was two minutes from home. So that was definitely an improvement on a solid hour of screaming. Phew! I think I discovered the trick is to leave after a feed and play and when it's her sleep time! So I'll stick with that for a bit if I have to go on long trips and see if that helps.
It's going to be 43 again tomorrow!! I'm thinking of cancelling my MCHN appointment and going to a shopping centre to escape the heat.
Tanya - Ohh thanks hun, I hope the heat doesnt play havoc too much on you and Maya. So did you end up cancelling your appt?
Hollye -Thanks. Woohoo, go Mia.... ISnt it so exciting when they start doing things. hehehe
PP - Glad ethan finally pooed, especially after 4days. Olivia had actually been constipated when I put her onto formula for a while there. Thankfully she is so much better now, that she has gotten used to the change.
Sami - Have a great holiday hun, enjoy yourself. hugs
Katones - Thanks hun, she is so cute, and such a happy little bubba.
My DH bought a portable air con for the lounge. Though apparently it's 29 degrees in here. Still that's cooler than anywhere else in the house!
I've decided I will go to the MCHN appointment. I'll brave the heat and walk there. It's only a 5 min walk. Still in 43 degree heat I imagine it won't be fun. But I do wanna make sure Maya is OK!
we've got evap cooling thank goodness so we're managing the heat (just!) - it's about 28 here. Had our MHCN visit yesterday - apparently our next visit is at 8 months 'cos they're too busy to see us more often. I heard all these people say that your MHCN will be such a big part of your life in your child's first year. Yeah right!!! She would be if I saw her maybe... anyways, he was all good, but a bit clicky on one hip, so she said to call his paediatrician and just get it checked out - but should be nothing. So fingers crossed on that one.
Otherwise, he's growing in all directions - 7.6kg and 65cm long!! OMG I'm gonna have him in 0's very soon!
Holly & Tanya - good luck with your weigh-ins. Hollye - awesome on the rolling! I reckon X is YONKS away from rolling tummy to back.
csab - great to see you back again, and Olivia is looking just adorable!
SamiH - your post title freaked me out too! You're a cheeky monkey alright hope you have a great time on the coast.
oh and I was on implanon too - had it twice, but took the second one out early when the "clucky's" hit me overnight. I'd definitely do it again after no. 2.
Thanks Csab.. they were grose thick paste green poos .. the joys of formula huh lol
Hollye - what time is the weigh? good luck i hope it is good news for you.
Well exciting news for me - i am having a girls night out! i have met a bunch of mums with oct babies and we are all leaving the kids at home with dh's and going out for dinner and drinks... how exciting. This is my first night out in almost 2 years like this. I am not sure if i will drink.. scared - how weird is that - havent had a drink in 2.5 years! will have to see how we go i think lol.
Hoping DH will be ok with the 2 overnight and bottle feeding. Might give it a go tonight to see how ethan takes the bottle in the middle of the night.
Right at this moment both kids are fast asleep which is wonderful!! i am going to have some dimsim - mmmm and then lay down for an hour before the excitement starts hehe.
It isnt too hot atm which is nice and the breeze has picked up. I am thinking of all you melbourne and adelaide girls *hugs*
I'm so glad I went to the MCHN and trusted my instincts!! Maya has barely put on any weight over the last two weeks (120 grams)!! She's just never interested in eating cos there's too much stuff going on! So she suggested to start feeding in a dark boring room and see if that helps. Plus she suggested that I try and express after every feed. But I normally can't get anything after a feed. And even with the portable air con it's now 30 degrees in here! So I really don't feel like pumping my breasts after having Maya sweat next to me during a feed. Maybe once the change hits on the weekend I can start trying to add in the expressing!
belfie - Wow.. good to hear X doesn't have a problem in the weight department. And I hope his hip is OK.
