I had a pack of sposies which I wanted to use before starting the MCN. But Ashlyn grew out of them in a week!! I was able to use the BG from the start but I also love my Magicalls.
I would love to have an elliptical machine. DH and I were looking through the photo's from when we met and we were both shocked at how much we've let ourselves go. It's time to start a diet I think!!!
captain - check out the new woman's day mag, yiiiikes, suzie maroney has lost 30kg and her dd was born 4 months ago. she looks sooooooo good it has inspired me. I did start walking a few weeks after bella was born but the magpie's came out and I was too scared.
well i have been reading all your posts, just haven't had time to post myself as we've been keeping ourselves rather busy but that's about to slow down as i'm going to try and stay away from going to the shops as often now that whooping cough is around as apparently she's not fully protected as she's only had her 2 month shot so far?? i agree i'm not looking forward to the 4-month needle. the 2 month was bad enough. at least i'll be ready with baby panadol this time!!
Nicambhar - I wonder how much weight suzie maroney put on in her pregnancy though, i found my pregnancy weight itself easy to lose but the other weight that i already had on me isn't moving at all no matter how little i eat. as for time to exercise... :S not happening atm as i have a bub in the baby bjorn pouch and i'm too scared to move from my chair!!
as for nappies Liberty's legs were way too skinny for disposables or cloth at the start so we used doubled up facewashers folded in half for about a month as nappies. now the little chubbles is getting so chunky (5kg last week, finally) she's growing out of the newborn fold in flat cloth. i've made my own fitted cloth nappy and i'd like to attempt to make my own AIO. we use disposables at night and when we go out but if i found a good mcn pattern or bought a good one i'd change that as i spent $40 on disposables only a few weeks ago and we've nearly run out. stupid waste of money!!
now i feel bad whinging about this but i'm going slowly insane. trying to get Liberty to sleep is crazy. she hates to be put to bed and screams when wrapped or when i walk into the room i ususally put her to sleep in. She never used to be like that, i used to be able to just hold her in my arms and she'd go to sleep no rocking or anything. I don't believe in controlled crying either so it takes about an hour to get her to sleep. She also doesn't sleep well in the day so she is very tired at night. She sleeps 10-12 hours at night (waking for feeds of course) and i know they need 14.5 hours out of 24 at least for this age so i try and get her to have the rest but its so hard. i need to visit some other threads i think to see what other people have done!!
she's also discovered her hands and is very noisy at night when she decides to suck on them at night!! she's cutting her top right tooth (early i know) so maybe that's why i'm having trouble getting her to sleep??
Nae - i didn't meet you in the belly buddies forum but i did read your story and my heart goes out to you as one of my close friend had a stillborn baby at 36 weeks, 5 days from severe placenta abruption the week before my baby was born. i always send up many many prayers for my friend to help her to cope, especially when it comes to the question of why. i know this must be a hard time for you and my friend with Christmas coming up and families getting together and imagining the what ifs. It's good to hear you looking forward to the future and just know that I'm sure there's plenty of people out there who send up quick prayers all the time for you
Well the visit to santa went well and Molly got her photo taken with him. She didn't mind at all. The lady took a few photos then Molly decided to start smiling. I pick them up on Friday. I hope they turn out ok. I also got suckered in by the pixifoto people as she gave me a voucher for a free sitting and portrait.
From everyone's posts it looks like it is the week for babies to discover their hands. Molly has really discovered her hands now and she lifts her hands to her mouth and sucks them noisily. 9 times out of 10 now her hands make it to her mouth. Before she would drop her head to suck them when she was up on my shoulder. I think its nearly time for Molly to move into her room to sleep. She starts to stir from around 430 but keeps putting herself back to sleep. The problem is she wakes me up and I can't go back to sleep as I think she is going to wake up. Then she finally wakes at 8.
We are still plugging along with BF but she has one feed a day with formula. It see,s to help with the painful nipples so might just keep doing that for a while.
What is everyone doing for Christmas? or your holiday?
Its soo cute reading all your stories about all the little things your bubs are doing.
Pam - its was sooo lovely to catch up with you in person today, Poppy is just beautiful, all babies are cute but she really is beautiful, those big blue eyes, cheeky smile and those eye lashes are to die for. And you look amazing also thank you for visiting and thank you for the pics of Poppy also. I have the colour one with her and the Keva bear in a frame in on my desk in the office so when Dh sets up the phone line in there (yes I am still on the durassic dial up) I will be able to sit and look at her and niki and grandpa and other various piccies I have there.
We must catch up in person again soon - maybe in the NY?
IserveanawesomeGod - Thanks hun, Christmas is a difficult time for us this year, I cannot imagine what you friend is going through but my heart goes out to her. I always thank the good Lord that we got to spend 8 days with Niki before she went into His care, its such a blessing to have been given such a precious gift of time. BTW Liberty is a gorgeous name.
Captain - what is an elliptical machine?? sounds pretty fancy
Indie24 - Its ok to be suckered by those people I think - its such a special time of year and you have a new bub and its all so exciting I would be a sucker for all those types of things and probably more
still waiting for AF (NO there is no possible way I am preggers ) we're only a few days late but I think its stress related. Can't believe how fast this year has gone.
Anyways I am sooo exhausted might hit the sack soon
Hi girls, as you know I had a visit yesterday with Nae, loads to talk about after 5 hours we still had'nt run out. I got to see her completed nursery, it's beautiful...... just awaiting for a gorgeous bubba to fill it. Huge as well, gorgeous high ceilings enough room for the cot, a single bed, change table and still enough room for a dance party.
Also Niki's garden, very restfull and beautiful, going to be really lovely when all the plants grow bigger. Nicest of all pics of Niki and all Nae's lovely reminders and possesions of her baby girl. Thanks so much for sharing with me Nae.
Definately will catch up in the new year... lol at not putting on weight re food we certainly did talk enough..
Iserve, I'm glad you got back on here, I checked the other day for recent posts and was hoping that all was okay.. I hear you on the whooping cough, mum has a friend who just had it recently, scary, especially when they show you the news reports with babies who have it. I feel the same about the shopping centres.....
Indie...I am so bad at resisting the photo people..... and then worse still have to buy the package???? Even if it is'nt so great. Bu t bleieve it or not you can have too many photos, some of ours still have'nt made it to the walls.
Nic, yeah Suzie!!!!! but I bet they do count the pregnancy weight in it!!!! She has had some serious stress, wonder if that has something to do with it???? also being an elite althete would help, just in that mid set re training and does'nt have 4 kids either!!!!
Us girls are too hard on ourselves, me thinks....
Hi Captain....sound slike the girls are all finding their hands. Poppy's fav activity as well, along with gazing at dad with big eyes and whenever he looks, big grins.. already working on twisting him around her little finger and winning big time... might I add.
