Willow - Sounds like L is doing well with his sleeps! K's day naps are all over the place. Some days he'll have great ones, other days he won't. I'm just trying to go with the flow! Well done on being pre-preg weight! I seem to put on a lot of weight in pregnancy, but I think it is because I am usually pretty skinny (borderline underweight on that darned BMI chart ) so my body must need to bulk up! After I had Joel I ended up losing 5kg more than pre-preg!!

Nic - Wow, I can't believe Tyron has cut a tooth!!! It sounds like he coped pretty well with it though, hopefully he copes that well with the rest of them! I do have a Baby Bjorn for K, but he gets really restless in it unless I go for a walk. It's easier to cart him around, but I think my arms will drop off soon lol!

Sarah - Welcome back! Glad to hear Elijah is doing so well. Wow, cutting a molar too! I didn't realise they could get a molar so early.

Yeah I know, I couldn't believe it either. Apparently molars can go up and down, hope that don't happen though, sounds very painful!

Sarah-ewwwwwww teeth......ewwwwwwwww molar!!! Eeeeek sooooo not looking forward to that!! Welcome back!
Mo-Meant to say much earlier on that we want one of those activity centres for Caitlyn. She puts so much weight on her legs now (please dont start moving just yet!!) even the ladies at daycare have mentioned it! She will stand and I will have my hands either side to support her from falling sideways but her little (chunky) legs hold her up for quite some time. So now that she has discovered this she doesnt like sitting and HATES lying down. So basically I sit on the couch holding her from falling sideways. Puts a big smile on her face though. We did pick something up from kmar that is very similar (nowhere else to look!) but when she sits in it, the way it is made she falls forward. She looks so uncomfortable. we tend to stuff a cloth nappy in the front to support her a little. I can't wait to get to Townsville in April to buy more stuff for her!!
Anyway - am off to the Doc this afternoon - DH and I are desperate to find out if we can do anything in regards to my lack of sex drive. I am just not intersted at all - im not too tired - just have no interest in it (sorry if TMI). Hopefully a change of pill will do the trick poor DH keeps telling me he is going to DIE soon!! ha ha ha
Hope you have all had good days - mwah

hello all

feeling a bit better today - got out of the house and all that.... and bought more baby clothes...

the good news is, i've lost all my preg weight (18kg), the bad news is that my body is weird. boy does it look different. i have lost heaps of muscle mass and am just a jelly thingo with 2 inches too much still on my waist. very odd this whole baby thing.

the little guy has decided he hates his dummy now and is always trying to make a beeline for boob when i'm settling him. gah... drastic measures are required i think. don't know what they are just yet.

bah - he's crying in teh swing... better go

Evening all,
I am sitting here trying hard to ignore Ethan for a few minutes to allow him to self settle. We have moved on from the one arm wrapped thing to no arms wrapped and it is a big leap. I think Ethan keeps playing with his dummy while he is settling and then takes it out and can't get it back in which is why he is not going to sleep. Oh well, hopefully he will get the idea soon. Feeling really tired tonight and hubby is out for the night. Wont be home till late so I'm on my own with Ethan. Wish me luck girls.

Ni Night.

Hi all

Spent the whole day at the shops. We enjoyed the movie. I haven't seen so many prams and babies in the one place. Scary. It was a very interesting experience. L decided to crack up and I couldn't settle him in my seat so I had to go for a walk. Anyway 10 mins later he was asleep. Will go again. Saw Definitely Maybe - ok, nothing special.

Bought some clothes for L today as well. Just a few jumpsuits and some pants. It is starting to get cooler here and everything I have is summer.

Nickers - thanks for noticing L's birthday! Wow, congrats to Tyron for his first tooth breakthrough. I also can't believe a bub would go off a dummy. I wish L would - it would make my life so much easier.
Trish - sorry to hear that you and K aren't well. Hope you get better soon.

Formula - L has about 200mls at a time. I also BF and give him EBM so FF is more of a supplement. I weighed him today and he is now 6.36kg! He's slowly catching up.
Weight - I have another 4kgs to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. I have been fairly stable for the last couple of months so will need to take some more active measures to budge those last few kgs. Got the jelly belly too. Actually always had it but now is even flabbier feeling.

Didn't get much sleep overnight - partly because I slept so much in the afternoon that I wasn't tired at normal bedtime. So fed L at around 11.30. He just wouldn't go back to sleep. He was doing his flapjack thing. I'd put him down on his back and come back a few moments later he was on his front peering over the top of the bassinet at me! So cute but so frustrating!

Hope you all had a good day.

Rebecca and Amber we are all in the same boat then. Craig and i went from 'cant get enough' to 'cant stand sex what so ever'...well for me anyhow. Every tiome we try to DTD i break down in tears cos i hate it so much, hate to be touched, kissed....its really bad. I have no want or desire at all. I most of the time allow it to happen cos i feel so bad for saying No all the time.

Amber will PM you

Becky i had 12 weeks to go before i graduated as a cop. Unfortunately i left due to my day being diagnosed with leukemia and he had to begin chemo...i was worried id loose him and it began takin a toll on my studies. But the fitness regimes they put you through are hard and they are very picky on weight and hip measurements!
