Thanks SamiH.. i didn't even think of that...might just tell hubby i will take DS first thing in the morning....will talk to him tonight about it.
Well i got the christmas tree up today...Jack slept through the whole event :( and is asleeep still now.. so i am about to try and get dinner on the go....
thanks sam. Just called the clinic, the doctor is happy to give the vac within a week early :)
RE Immunisations - Maya's having her shots a day before she turns 8 weeks. My MCHN picked the day so I assume it's fine. I'm just getting it done through the council, though I may decide to book into a doctor next time if the wait is too long!
Sami - We've got a Wii but not the Wii Fit. I love playing the Wii, but I haven't played it since Maya was born.
Hollye - My name is Tanya. When I signed up heaps of variations of my name were already taken so I tried Itsme (as in It is me) and obviously that wasn't taken. I'm not sure if I really like it now because it doesn't identify with me at all really, but I guess it's whom I'm known by now on BB and I'm not sure if I can change it?
After the mother's group meeting today someone suggested going to the pub! :lol: So it was Maya's first trip to a pub! It must have been a sight to see - a bunch of mums with babies and prams in the pub! :lol:
u can change it if u wish. Go to your user profile and right down the bottom on the left had side says "request username"
Oh I didn't know you could change your name. Though I have no idea what to change it to?! :think: Any suggestions? :lol:
Now - girls - serious questions - WiiFit. Santa is bringing kids a big 10ft trampoline and DH & I are getting a Wii (so my son DS1 doesn't think it is HIS so he can play it all day long ;)) - both will help me get through the school holidays with everyone at home! But, I wanna get some use too - alot of you have referred to WiiFit - is it really that good, and DO YOU USE IT?? If you do, what for - what is the best part etc? I know there is a thread in gaming, but I feel like I kinda know you girls and trust your opinions :lol:[/QUOTE]
I absolutely lurrrrrrrrrvvveee my wii fit. I cannot get out of the house to exercise. Gyms are expensive and with DH away so often its not possible with young kids. Going for a good walk pushing pram doesn't work for me either as one child has to walk (read: dawdle) or I have to push all three with the youngest two on top of each other (not very safe and bl**dy hard work!) Half an hour at least a day on the wii you should be able to find. Just tell everyone to get away from you as you're doing your exercise for the day. I have to stop midway through some days to feed/settle Loralei but get back to it again. From what I've seen with the games we have so far, they're all quite physical and you work up a sweat playing them so as far as I'm concerned its more of fitness machine than entertainment. But, that's just my two bobs worth and others are bound to have different opinions. HTH:D
teruteru - that means you, me and kur have triplets lol!
the usually immunisation problem with doing it early isnt so much bub but medicare wont pay for it if it isnt on or after the date. if you dr is happy to hold off before they lodge that they gave the shots it will be fine.
both mine are booked in for the 1oth next week. that will be an experience
kur - no pav yet... might have to do on the weekend... didnt realise you have to cook for 2.5 hrs... so need dh here. but i will endevour to make rumballs... :)
well i have put ds asleep on his back tonight... will see how the evening goes.
DH is out playing squash and i am about to have dinner by myself (now that both kids are in bed!)
as for wii fit. we have one. it is great but honestly dont get the time to use it :)
Wii Fit - we got it while I was preggers (read: waaay too paranoid to do it) so I've only done a few of the exercises. DH loved it initially but I notice the first rush of enthusiasm seems to have worn off and he hasn't used it for some time (funny hey!). So saying, I'm really keen to use it again now - and I'm going to do it in a sec... re benefits - more core strength than real cardio IMO but beneficial from the point of view of keeping you focussed on doing what you can/healthy active lifestyle etc. I'd still want to do walking/jogging/cycling or whatever to supplement. I want to lose about 10-12 kilos and I'm hoping between Wii Fit, walking & expressing I'll get there!
Oh and I thought it was about $120 mark? Mebbe it's cheaper now.
My other major excitement - returned my hire pump, as my Medela Pump in STYLE (said in best Tyra Banks fashion) has arrived!!! It is SO cool - fits very neatly in the backpack with all the bits & pieces... woohoo! Xandy's milk factory is GO!
Itsme a.k.a. Tanya... um what about your fave colour with your name? I was greenbelfie on something.
Kuraiza :hug:
Oh and while names are being talked about I'm really Bella, but Belfie is nickname/pet name among privileged few so I like using it here - like my alter ego really. I still remember vomiting at 2am one night (food poisoning) and just hearing my DH exclaim in horrified tones as he realised I was sick "oh Belfie!". It was very cute.
Ok must go express. And hopefully Wii Fit. (or in my case Wii Unfit... haha).
Kuraiza - sorry to hear you are having such a rough time with Jude. I was going to ask if you had joined a mothers group but just read that you did but haven't had luck making it there. I highly recommend going, maybe join the next one? I had so many issues when I first became a mother and the support and friendship I received from the women I met in mothers group was invaluable. I wasn't the only one sleep deprived, not knowing if I was doing the right things with my baby, not the only one with slight bladder leakage when I sneezed, not the only one not sure if my baby was feeding enough, sleeping enough etc etc... what knowledge I gained from all those mothers and my sanity was restored to a certain degree. Being a parent is a tough job and its mostly guesswork.
Hollye - I hope your photos turn out beautifully regardless of crabby Mia.
Itsme (Tanya) - Woo hoo to you going to the pub with Maya! I went to a plant nursery today and met up with other mums. There is a fenced in playground and a cafe with nice coffe & cake so adults can talk and kids can play, it was great!
Sorry, no time for more personals, girls need to go to bed etc.
bye for now,
Cathy
Hello one and all :)
I am curious about this 8 wks verses calander months now! Bethany is booked in tomorrow morning I guess I can check it out when I get there and well if I have to do it another day I rebook. Thankfully the GP is just down the road.
We had a busy day today we went out and I finally got my bounty bags. Pretty cool I thought.
Oh we saw the nurse today, wouldn't you know it she feed like 200mls right in front of her. Talk about being a girl and changing her mind!! Been better today. Must have been a phase. Isn't it a bit early for phases??!!?? Not a great weight gain again, still just under the 25% line on the graph so we are ok for now. I think I will buy some new bottles next week and see if that helps with the wind and then we might be able to go up to the 180mls she should be having now she is 8 wks.
Well I am tried, missy was awake lots last night. Hopefully a good one tonight.
:hug: Kuraiza I know how it is hard, we are still struggling on here, I am glad I watched the videos on tried signs and the like. Bethany isn't there yet but I am glad I am trying self settling. Well my version anyway which is a bit "softer"! Although I'll tell you a secret :shhh: The frist few nights I would go in to settle her and leave and she would keep waking up...I was so focused on tired signs and her sleep I forgot about hunger!!!!:doh::redface: Talk about silly. I think I have it sorted now, well for tonight atleast.
Oh and Bethany found her hands today...well I noticed today! She watches them and see if she can wack things with them, pretty cool :) Then smiles and says look what I have. Then she gets excited to see the other one. very cute!!
Hellos to everyone else, bit brain dead tonight sure I have other things to say!
teru hi and welcome, I don't think that because your b/fing is why dragon isn't sleeping thru, it can happen with FF as well, it's just his body clock. I know that my fourth boy was like that, they do grow out of it :)
Hollye when will you be getting the photos from the shoot? She looks so beautiful in your ticker, and your av looks fab too.
Sami we've put a Wii on layby for Santa to bring for the whole family this year, I'm not sure on the Wii fit but I might get that later down the track for me to do as well. But like someone said the games are quite vigourous and are some form of exercise.
Belfie how great that your pump has finally arrived, sounds like your going to enjoy it.
Kurazia I'm so sorry your having such a hard time, big :hug:
Well I got my Chrisco delivered yesterday so that was my excitement for the day, I love getting my hampers every year that's my little splurge for the year, lol, very sad I know. I won't get Julian's needles done for another two weeks, I've always thought that they had to be the calendar month too. I'll also be getting Wyatt's 4yr needles at the same time so will have to see if DH can come down with me as it will also be school holidays and will have all 5 boys so will be stressful if I have to do it by myself. Ok have to go and get ready to do school drop off.
hugs xoxo
Thanks everyone for the virtual hugs, I'm feeling much better now so please continue to brag about your beautiful babies :)
If anyone already has an Xbox, playstation or a PC...
My husband and I used to do "Yourself! Fitness" on our PC which is a really fun personalised fitness program that includes aerobics, toning, muscle building, yoga etc. Maya (your personal fitness coach) pushes you really hard and it's impossible not to lose weight and get toned up.
We had the "game" in Japan a few years ago but since lost it. One day when I don't live in an apartment (and therefore can stomp all over my floors again) I'll probably get it again. It's gotta be cheaper than a wii and a wiifit. I loved it and I bet it's even better now. I used to do yoga on my tatami floors and I felt really tranquil and relaxed. Ah those were the days.
Jude slept hours yesterday. He went a full 6 hours between feeds from 1pm to 7pm. That was an entirely new event for me, I didn't know what to do with myself, so I lay on the couch and watched back-to-back episodes of Spicks and Specks reruns. When Jeremy came home from work I decorated the christmas tree.
My name's Eliza, by the way. Kuraiza is a name that came from a misunderstanding when my Japanese students said "Kirakira Eliza" to me (which means Sparkly Eliza) and I thought they called me Kuraiza. Which was a much better name than the 5 year olds who used to call me "eraser" because the could not hear the difference and they got confused.
oh wow Amanda.... how cool to get chrisco ! lol i am a sucker for parcels too!
belfie - dh bought the wiifit for me for mothers day so the same preggers... i used to love how it asked me how mch weight i wanted to loose ! lol
i hope everyone is well. i am trying to get ethan to sleep today using the 1 hr rule
wake, feed and play and back down within the hour....
will see how it goes
so far so good. he woke at 730 and i got him down at 830 and is asleep atm (until DD screams! arrhhhh(
Amanda- thx for the assurance. atm im use to the night feeds, theres jst the odd day when i jst 'crash' haha
well dragon is up at his usual hr (9ish) n is jst kickin ard. Hope he's still goin to b awake for the photos today. itd be a pity if he slept all the way thru...
morning everyone!!!
Jack slept all night again :D but was restless alot of the time... fed at 6.30am and went back to sleep :) and fed at 10 and is asleep now... until the bloody bird starts again and wakes him!!! hubby is home sick..i am getting over a cold and hubby has the "man-flu" really bad :(
spoke with hubby re:- immunisations.. and he agreed about getting them done in the morning...
teru good luck with the photos, hopefully Dragon will be awake, if not then I'm sure you can get some cute ones with him sleeping.
katones lol my DH had the man flu a week or two ago and boy you'd think it was the end of the world.
PP good luck getting Ethan to sleep, the bloody weather won't be helping much.
hugs xoxo
Lol amandaJ.....it is like he is dying....he went to the Drs...but Dr didn't give him anything.... i am booked in for my 6 week check up and i have a mole on my BB that is VERY dark.... Boooked Jack in for monday for his jabs :(
katones: probably just got a bit stretched and is nothing to worry about - the mole. my freckles and moles on my body have gone nuts during and since pregnancy.
my hubby had gastro after i had it. he got to sleep in bed for 3 days straight. i had to remind him that i had to look after crying jude the whole time i was sick so he should get up and help out if he was home from work. i was not impressed.
jude has stopped being soothed by stroller walks. i think it's too hot outside. :(
