OMG.. Where has Byron gone? I think i'm going to stalk the Baby Buddies January thread as I think someone has swapped me a newborn! This baby is feeding every 3 - 4 hours.... Around the clock! I am praying he's just making up for the last month of fussy feeding & that he'll be back to his sleeping through the night self in no time. Man...
KURAIZA I saw you too.... Well, last week anyway!
CSAB How'd you go at the Doc's the other day?
PP Yep, it's beautiful weather here... When are you coming for a swim?
AMANDA Has Julian settled down a bit? I also wonder if Byron is starting to get teeth. He chews on the teething ring like there's no tomorrow
KATONES You poor thing. Being up all morning. Will you manage to get a nap in during the day? I'm finding it difficult to day nap at the moment. Not sure why, just can't do it
BELFIE So are you quacking as you walk How's IT feeling today? Glad to hear you're at peace with your MIL
SAMI You're a very funny lady.. That dude is a STUD!
TERU How are you finding the BUMBO? Like it?
AMY Sounds like Kindermuisk was great for Bethany. It's good to find something enjoyable like that. Byron likes his swimming lessons
TANYA Yoga was much better than last week. Though the instructor was late so BJ grizzled for the last 20mins. I had to hold while doing the tree pose & some floor exercises. I managed to use his weight for added intensity I had Byron call Maya, he said she'll be feeding like he is now, in a week or two. Unfortunately that means you'll be up every 3 - 4 hours overnight! If you're worried about your supply, just express after your first morning feed, or after her the feed she is fussiest on for the day. BJ's was always the first morning one. But remember, supply & demand. It will increase again when she starts feeding better again. I also read that in Babylove. But BJ's lasted 5 or 6 weeks. He's sure making up for it now.
HOLLYE Are you still thinking of moving to QLD?
Have I missed anyone???? Sorry if I have.
Didn't see RENSTAR yesterday. BJ was sleeping & I had time restrictions. Going today, around 1pm (QLD time).
I think I just feel "stuck". Before kids I was happy with myself and body etc - but it seems like each time I fall preg (even with m/c) that my body says - whoa, wack on an extra 5 kgs just for luck. I lost the weight after Giselle, but then had 2 m/c and first time put on 3 kg (angel 8 wks) and second time 5kg (angel at 13wks) - and didn't lose it again before Zander. So now I am feeling pudgy around my tummy and hips and I am hating it. I am not the youngest chick on the block so harder to budge too.
Now, I know I can fix it - but I just cant get the time!! I was going to kick off 3 weeks ago and crap happens all the time. Sounds dumb, but between the heat we have had, sick kids, and Zander not being a pram baby like my other two, I am lucky to walk the 500 m to the shops and back to pick up a few groceries without him saying put me to bed!, Giselle complaining she wants to go home etc - she starts preschool next week so I am hoping I can then get out every day for a 30 minute walk and just put an ipod on if Zander gets grizzle - he will fall asleep - but about 20 mins is his limit.
Anyway, like yesterday - I was planning to get to shops to get some healthy salad stuff for lunch - with Giselle vomiting I drove to school and pushed RIley out the door and came home, and vice versa in the afternoon! So needless to say I only had bread and more bread in the cupboard for lunch, and RIley's 2 leftover cupcakes from school, so I ate them with a coffee.
Ok, feel better for getting it out - prob should have posted in boohoo, or diet/weight loss area - but really didnt want everyone to read and give me all their tips - cos I know what i have to do, I am an organised person, crap has just happened every week.
PP - Z escaped 3 times last night - I ordered one on-line for the $29 delivered in large - cant wait till it arrives. One of my friends was crapping on about a danger when he rolls - both my kids were wrapped until 6 months and after - depends how you wrap them - anyway, I cant wait until it arrives!
Next Tues I am meeting some BB girls from Canberra for a coffee so that will be nice - first time I have done it!
Better go and eat some food - lol - have a coffee and play with Giselle before Zander wakes
Great to hear from you again Kuraiza, I hope you get some answers soon hon.
Hello everyone else no personals in a rush, off for Bethany's Vac's and my follow up will the infection be gone appointment.
Then on to more appiontments.... sigh....
Oh and for my money I would say Kindermusik over gymbaroo.
Oh katones!! I feel for you!! Maya went to bed at 10pm very tired and was wide awake at midnight! She didn't go to sleep again till 2am!! Up for two hours! Not as bad as 5 hours though. But I was just going to bed at midnight. So in the end I didn't go to sleep till 2.30am. And then Maya woke at 6.30am. I managed to get her back in bed around 8.30am and I decided to crawl back in bed too cos I was sooooooooo tired. Then she woke at 10am and is still up now. I plonked her in front of the TV now cos I just need a break. So I am surviving on about 5 1/2 hours sleep today.
belfie - I can really picture you walking.
Sami - Yeah I feel bad about my body too. I thought it would go back to my original shape, but I have a flabby tummy now and I can't fit into any of my old jeans. I'm getting to the point where I think it's time to buy some new jeans in a size up. I don't own scales so I don't know if I've put on more weight or not. I think it's actually more to do with my tummy muscles cos I had a big separation and then never wore my band thing. I prob need to do some sit ups.
amy - I hope Bethany's immunisations go OK. This time round Maya just has not been well or happy. So I hope Bethany is OK!
Hello to everyone else!! Too tired to write any more now. Think I'll get myself a coffee!!
PP ~ i hope A & E get over their snottys pretty quick!!
GEORGI ~ NOPE i can't for the life of me sleep during the day...i will survive on what sleep i have had
SamiH ~ hun i hear ya on the kick starting things..i keep meaning to then can't be bothered doing anything...or i get side tracked...i am sure it will happen...ONE DAY
amy_o ~ hope Bethany's immunisations go OK, Jack had his this morning..and screamed which then nearly got me crying..and the Dr even commented how strong he was... it was a struggle to keep his arms/legs still..poor little man
tanya ~ yep i am coping with 5 and abit hours of sleep aswell...not good but hey atleast it is something...
anyones else sorry not forgetting you...just never enough time in the day...
well....
Jack had his immunisations today and i also got him weighed & measured... BIRTH WEIGHT ~ 4.26kgs 4 MONTHS OLD ~ 7.4kgs
well we went to the paed's this morning - he wants to do an ultrasound on X's left hip, cos it's a little "clicky". Hmm, fingers crossed there's no dramas there - we're booked in for monday so at least it's nice & quick.
Glad you can all picture me walking hehe... and sorry to hear of those with little sleep! I was stuffed last night (think the surgery & previous night of not being able to sleep caught up with me... I fell asleep in the middle of being grumpy at DH lol!).
Fascinating seeing Jack's measurements Katones! I like seeing how they all vary (cos lets face, it takes lots of variety to create this so-called "normal"!) so I thought I'd add in X's:
BIRTH WEIGHT ~ 3.4 kgs
4 MONTHS OLD ~ 7.6 kgs
BIRTH LENGTH ~ 51.5cms
4 MONTHS OLD ~65cms
BIRTH H/C ~ 35 cms
4MONTHS OLD H/C ~ 42.5cms
So in a nutshell, X is shorter & fatter than Jack hehe. The paed just looked at me as we were leaving, and said, oh yeah - I didn't bother weighing him. To which I replied that's fine, he's a heifer. Hmm it's probably wrong to call my son a cow. Anyways, the paed also thinks that the hives might be more a general skin sensitivity issue than a specific dog allergy (fingers crossed hey SamiH!) and suggested we try it as an experiment in a few months lol. Can you picture it? Here doggy, come lick baby!!! Doggy would think all her christmases had come at once with a bubsicle to lick!
Btw, I googled Gymbaroo & Kindermusik - can't wait to go try one, they seem great! I'm leaning towards Kindermusk... anyone else got any recommendation/preference?
Amy_o hope that infection has gone
SamiH - blue is unlike you - sendign you feel better I'm with you on the "I'll start being good this week... next week" etc. I took my measurements the other day.. I'm an E cup... but sadly, my largest measurement is still my gut! DOH! We'll get there tho... Rome wasn't built in a day...
Tanya - hope you enjoy the coffee & fingers crossed for more sleep tonight!
Katones - aaww that's a miserable amoutn of sleep - sending you sleep vibes too!
BJ - stop being a newborn for your mummy, she's already done it once, no need to do it again!
PP - hope those snotties clear up soon!
hi to anyone I missed!
Sounds like everyone needs a big sleep! Geez I'm full of waffle today huh. ok time to go express. Laters!
How's IT feeling today? Glad to hear you're at peace with your MIL
Yeah I feel bad about my body too. I thought it would go back to my original shape, but I have a flabby tummy now and I can't fit into any of my old jeans.
