For those whose email addies I don't have, I have posted the Christmas card to my facebook. If i don't have you on my page - it's V____ R____

Mo - i made the card on photoshop. I was a bit cheeky in my law degree and took a multimedia class heheh... still counted. comes in handy for baby cards.

Nickers - DH is 'the' quintessential wrapper in our household. We called it the spider wrap when he was in muslins because it looked like bugs when the spider has wrapped them before dinner. Now he's too long so we're using these light cotton wrap/sheet numbers that my friend's mum sewed up for us.

My bug bear for today - vomit. gah. i thought he was a vom bag because my milk flow was so high. so i moved to bottles of EBM because he seemed to cope better. he chucked a massive vom in the car today and it was just so, so sad. I'm going to see the CHN tomorrow and hopefully she can help me out. she's scary as all hell but she's been right about everything (baby wipe irritation, dummy, burping etc).

The other thing I feel like discussing is my weirdo body. I want to know how everyone feels about how they look now.

I only have 3.5kg (stubborn) to go but I am STILL two dress sizes bigger in bust and hips. how does that work. I figured out I still have 6 inches to lose from my waist and 2 inches from my hips. the bust is obviously going to stay until the gigantor beast stops feeding from them so I'm happy to deal with that.

My belly is jelly. Not unlike Santa. My abs are weak and I find it hard to do much with them. I think I managed 8 whole crunches *eye roll*.

I wonder if the big fella has wrecked the joint forever.

I now declare the body whinge forum open....

**~Trish~** · December 20th, 2007, 02:14 PM

Viv - Re: body size, after I had Joel I eventually weighed less than before I was pg, BUT I went from a size 10 pre-pg body to a size 12! I thought it was weird because I weighed less, but I think it is because our bodies broaden to accomodate a bub, so because I was wider I couldn't fit into a 10 anymore

. I couldn't blame my BB's because I dropped half a cup size! Wow, only 3.5kg to go, lucky you! I still have 7 to go, it took me 9 months last time to lose it all so I suppose the same will happen for me this time.

**Junglemum** · December 20th, 2007, 02:20 PM

I'll join that forum.

I have cellulite where i didn't think i could have it! Although it is dissapearing. Still 2 sizes up on ar$e and 3 on bust.

Hate shopping for clothes.....
Have flabby spare tyre. Have always had a flat stomach, have new pudgee one now.
Abs are ok, OB commented on how strong they were, me thinks it is from pre preg and surfing........ i'm surprised he could feel them through my layer of blubber..............

Have lost 21 kg's and 9 to go, but can not pull old pants above my knees...... ok, so 9kgs is still a fair bit.

I look at mum's walking around and look at how fit they look, then check out how old their baby is..........I'm obsessed! The mum's like someon who used to hang around here, but isnt at the moment, (Hi Cath!

) who's tummy is back to normal..........let's just say it takes all of my self control not to chase after them..... Not sure what i'd do, maybe a facebook troutslap............. i'm just jelous!
My friends assure me that it takes at least 8-9months to get your body back, but it does happen. Feeling doubtful at the mo.....
I met a gal on the weekend who was 10kgs lighter than pre preg and looked like she'd never had a baby. She attributes it to breast feeding. Is it ok to feed Falguni until she is 18? What colour ribbon would i get then....?

Ooooo feel a bit lighter after a whinge.

So Viv- ya got my email and i got no card.............. got something against Falguni huh?

I can take a hint. better go check it out on facebook.

ETA- clever clogs, cute card. Lu sucks her fists all day too. Do you give him a dummy? We don't but wondering if i should to head the thumb sucking off at the pass...... or maybe she'll just grow out of it.

becky · December 20th, 2007, 02:32 PM

Im hating my body too right now! Not so much the weight thing, just the 'flabby skin'. Im almost down to pre baby weight, but how do you get rid of the flab???? Grrrrr...... I just dont think diets and crap will help with that.

Chels had her needles this morning. Was very good. Cried for about 10 seconds and then was fine. She is sound asleep now. Hopefully stays that way for a little while! Im lucky though, DH held her. He held Liam for everyone of his needles too. Im a bit of a wuss. But she was so brave..........

**ninja_turtle** · December 20th, 2007, 02:33 PM

ange - i'm sure i sent it to you. *scuffs toe on floor looking shameful*... i'm sure! oh well. pfft. i'll send you your own right now!

james does have a dummy or two now. i didn't want to at first but then it makes his life easier. he only gets it when he's unsettled before sleep and i confiscate it as soon as it looks like i can get away with it.

there is this woman called jennifer nicole lee who had 2 kids and has impossible abs. look her up if you want some hurl material.

i need a shout-out from my other caesar ladies on here. what's happening with your bellies?

ETA: jennifer's site is jennifernicolelee dot com

**Khaleesi** · December 20th, 2007, 02:43 PM

Viv you did an excellant job, i want one for Maddi.
Gonna see what kinda job i can do.

I weigh less than before i was preg & i still hate my body, must be the jelly tummy.
I need to work on that.

Any other melb girls getting the storms, our house was shaking earlier because of the thunder, i'm suprised we still have power.

Ange you crack me up Love your new username

**Kate!P!** · December 20th, 2007, 04:00 PM

Hhhmmm... me thinks Christmas won't help us at all with our post baby body dilemmas!!! Especially now I'm not pregnant everything is on the menu again!! Drooling over the thought of soft cheese and prawns.... YUM!
I'm up one size and still got 4 kilos to go to pre preg weight - the muffin top I now have is so gross...

Had Hayley's Paed follow up appt today and she was such a good girl - smiling at him and flashing her big blue eyes. I swear she was flirting with him - mind you I love this Paed, he is fantastic so I didn't discourage her

Thankyou those who have emailed/fbooked the gorgeous Christmas cards - very clever of you!

**Junglemum** · December 20th, 2007, 04:02 PM

haha i'm now flying under the radar!

**YoYo** · December 20th, 2007, 04:48 PM

I wouldn't even know what my weight is at the moment, all I can tell you is that I don't really like looking at myself in the mirror!!

**Khaleesi** · December 20th, 2007, 05:47 PM

I've noticed alot of people are starting to "fly under the radar".
Kinda makes me want to do it as well.

**boomba** · December 20th, 2007, 06:33 PM

Ange love the new username!!!! Does that mean your a tanty throwing girl all the time?

Well I have at least 10kgs to loose, but I am in no rush! Its too hot to go out walking all the time, but I might cut laps at the shops!!!!

Nic that woman was huge!!! How cute are those bubbas!

Kate Hayley looks so cute in your ticker!
Mo so does maddi!

Viv I will add you on facebook I want to see this cute card everyones talking about!

Myles has been sucking his fist alot too and dribbling heaps I think he may be getting a tooth? I know it may be abit early but I can see it in his gums?

Only 5 sleeps till the big fat man in the red suit comes!x

**boomba** · December 20th, 2007, 06:36 PM

Sorry what do you girls mean about flying under the radar! I am having a blonde moment!! x

**qhi** · December 20th, 2007, 06:48 PM

Hi everyone!

I am the worlds worst mum (for today anyway!)

It was really hot today, and the big boy wanted to get the paddling pool out. I was hanging out the washing, helping him fill the pool, and Theo was in his bouncer, just hanging out.

He started to get a bit fussy, just at the same time the big one tripped over the edge of the pool. So I was saying to Theo "ok mate, be there in a minute..."

When I got over to him, he had an ant on his eyebrow, and his whole eye was red, with bites around it

He also had an ant in the crook of his elbow, and then he started coughing and choking, so I think there was one in his mouth too!

Couldn't do much for him, and after a sleep all the bites were gone, but man, I felt like such a scumbag!

**Junglemum** · December 20th, 2007, 07:12 PM

Oh qhi- you poor thing. you're not a bad mum! i headbutted Lu today and gave her a big egg on her forehead...... we cant get it right all the time! hope theo's 100% tomorrow.

Amber- ROFL, yup full time tanties here!

i was feeling a little exposed with my real name as my user name so thought i'd get a little bit of a disguise....... that's all i mean by flying under the radar.
