oh goodness we haven't DTD at all! My episiotomy took so long to heal (well it didn't heal properly) and now of course it's less than 2 weeks since it was repaired.
DH said rather mournfully the other day that we only DTD 4 times last year and it's true! How sad is that! Twice to conceive X. Then once in first trimester which resulted in bleeding & spotting and we were told to avoid DTD, plus he was waaaay too scared after that. Then in second trimester I had a huge scare and we were told bubs wouldn't make it (at 21.5 weeks) - turned out to be a false alarm, was just a vaginal prolapse. Then DH was too scared again (thought my vagina would fall out I'm sure!). Then in third trimester I bullied him into it (lol!) to try bring on labour - but that was only the once too... I think his words were "novelty value!"... and of course since then it's been episiotomy land.
I tried to console him by saying don't worry, we'll do it at least once this year to create #2... . Lucky they don't forget how to do it haha! Poor DH.
Oh and he WAS faking me out yesterday - I got a Valentine's Day pressie this morning, two nice glasses sneaky man tehe.
Hollye - Thanks.. I'll have to look for the BLS threads. And find some time to read them too!
Georgi - Maya has also been different lately. Waking more and at odd times and crying more. But I have no idea if it's teething, growth spurt, making up for the period where she didn't eat well, etc...
kuraiza - I didn't know what AF was either. Then Tanstar mentioned a great thread which has abbreviations and what they mean: here Now when I don't know what something means I go look it up there. Good to hear Jude is OK! This morning my DH was holding Maya while she was standing and he must not have been supporting her properly cos she did a head dive and I thought for sure she was gonna end up on the floor but he caught her just in time!
I managed to get up and go to my massage today and I'm glad I did. I'm feeling good now! Though I was very annoyed when she was running half hour late. That's an extra half hour of sleep I could have gotten.
Maya woke a couple of times last night. She seems to sleep so much lighter now too - any little noise disturbs her. I don't know why?!
I've pretty much always had a 26 - 28 day cycle so assume also that my next one will be on time, I am paying for it now though - the PAIN
observe bodies signs for ovulation - as Georgi said EWCM and temp are the best to observe, start now so you know what is "normal" for you
can i just say (cos I am crabby) that whoever does BLS and who doesn't - doesnt mean one is better than the other - we just do what we feel is right for our bubs and our families adn I dont want anyone to feel bad with what they are doing etc ...
DTD about 6 times - first few times are damn awful though and i am quite nervous so its just to make sure everything still works really
Anyway, I'm glad as soon as mine returned you all followed suit. Is this the online equivalent of when a group of women live together? Hahahaha
teeth - i dunno Georgi but i have a cranky boy alot of the day at the moment too and it makes me sad! And then he does a huge poo and smiles for a couple of hours, might try infants friend again (thanks for reminder belfie) he must get one heck of a tummy ache
we went to a new tea house this arvo when R on a playdate for tea and cake - it was looooooooooovely .... i had vanilla tea - not very adventurous cos Giselle wanted to share with me
So, Zander has slept for a total of about 1.5 hrs today and is already in bed, scared about the rest of the night!!!
SamiH - ditto for you! And lol re the women all living together.
X decided to feed at 10.30pm, 2.30am and 7.30am... what the?? Dunno where that came from - oh well, guess he just thought he needed more. hoping he'll sleep for aaaaages this morning.
woohoo on the win belfie!
ebay is great for babystuff
Well my contributions for the topics of the hour -
* AF - yep no AF yet , no idea what AF will or was like, Was onthe pill for 8 years and fell pg 2 wks after i stopped it and then 2 weeks after weaning DD - so technically no had a proper ovulation and period since i WAS 17.
* DTD yep it is starting to become enjoyable again. Probably only dtd about 6 times since birth - the last 2 have been normal and good! i guess i remember how much it hurt with DD - and it took me 6 months to be comfy with DTD - so i think 4 months this time (with a 2nd degree tear too) isnt too bad.
Also i hav huge fears of falling pg again as i am not going backon the pill ever again if i can help it!
So that was part of my nervousness when DTD
E is still waking once overnight - anytime between 2-4am for a feed and then both kids wake at 6am to start the day
But gee i love weekends.DH take the kids out the lounge at 630 for me and i get to sleep in for about 2 hrs... bliss!!!!!!!!!!!!
E seems to poo every 6 days. it seems so long. DD always pooed twice a day (still does) lol...
Thinking of work.... With the rates on the house so low atm i would be silly go to go back 1-2 days aweek and try pay the house of quickly while the economy is bad.... but might try waiting until E is 6 months and will wean then off the breast.
mmm well there is my thoughts for this morning. Waiting for E to wake up and take A to the playground to burn some energy.
p.s - tanya - stalk your postie babe - your parcel is on its way
well DH just decided to tell me now that he put Z on his tummy today and he rolled straight onto his back - so he has done both now - just waiting for more consistency!
Someone knick-knocked us last night - lucky i had just got up at 1 to dummy Z - and then the doorbell went at 1.30am with giggling girlie sounds running off - the buggers, lucky I was already awake
Z still fed at 4.30am - pretty much the norm at the moment too ...
Making Anzac bikkies - Riley having a mini fete and his class doing the bake staff for funds to raise for the bushfire appeals. That is, if he doesnt eat them all on me first
. Lucky they don't forget how to do it haha! Poor DH.
sneaky man tehe.
Good to hear Jude is OK! This morning my DH was holding Maya while she was standing and he must not have been supporting her properly cos she did a head dive and I thought for sure she was gonna end up on the floor but he caught her just in time!
