Hi girls Missymoo, your little man is very advanced, good on you BF a big baby you must have a good supply.
eej, great for your DH to get the promotion certainly well deserved by a strong person. Nice you got to have a night out and a holiday to Noosa to come sounds fantastic. Have a great time.
Captain, cute.....she would'nt let me lay down, cheeky monkey!!!!A good weight, interesting to see what Poppy is in a couple of weeks???
Sue, night feeding is still good....you have done a great job!!!!!
Me....sad ......big DD has moved out of home, decided she did'nt like the rules and up and went, I am hoping she changes her mind, but sounds like she is getting advice from somewhere, already been to centrelink etc. Don't know what to do next???? Have told her she is welcome to come home any time, but will have to follow house rules... oringally she would ask if she could go places, but often it was something way to old for her, so she started to just go or tell me she would be somewhere then go somewhere else, hanging around with older people from part-time work 18+years!!!! Fingers crossed there is a solution?????Maybe she needs some time out to realize it's not that bad at home???? Where she is currently are going to charge her $190 a fortnight board.......could change her mind quickly!!!!!!???????
Pam I am sure she will wisen up and come home! I did
Ashton is 3 months old today!! Where does the time go My older 2 boys are in Melbourne with their dad, they left on Wed and come back Wed so it's been fun with just Ashton and I Laying in bed, having a play. We even had a nice long bath together yesterday which he loved then he fell asleep on my chest...
TBH Pam I have never thought about not feeding him. Doesn't matter the size of the baby, once he sucks and brings in your milk, you will supply to their needs. I thought it was never going to end the first 4 days when he was sucking every 1-2 hours before my milk came in day and night... I was a walking zombie!!
I hope your right, how long was it before you decide home was the place to be????
As far as milk supply, unfortunately I have never had a very good result.... always tried really hard but...??????? Poppy is my best, she is happy to BF and bottle feed, the others went off the breast quickly once they got a bottle.Poppy loves th eboob and would be happy to only do that if she was'nt being starved. Oh well, I am doing my best????
I cannot believe how much she reminds me of me at that age. I would almost be certain she is getting worded up from someone else. Even if it takes a little while I am sure once she discovers the cost of living out of home she will be back.
Who knows it could be a very valuable lesson for her about the real world. I wonder if the board money she pays will also include food and amenities?
Mum and I use to blue like no tomorrow and one time she kicked me out and DAD would not let me come back home so for 18 months I did the best I could on my own and really struggled. One day I had no other option but to swallow my pride and beg for my room back and they allowed me back but under new house rules (by now I was 18). I had to contribute to the phone and food bills as well as pay board.
Eventually i moved out with a BF but I never looked back Mum actually said it was harder for them because they actually had to let me go KWIM??
Take care hun - you're a great mum and she will realise that soon enough
Awww thanks Nae!!! Look how lovely you turned outShe (DD)also reminds me of me, the apple never falls far from the tree????
Met the lady today(3 cans of beer lined up and smoking like a chimney, on the phone swearing ike a trooper)sounds like she is in it for the money???? First thing she talked about!!!! Will just play the waiting game, I think she really needs the time away....she actually has chores to do at this house
You turned out pretty ok too hun.
Funny that was the image I had in my head when I posted that your DD was being worded up. Seems to be the type to try to drag kids away from good homes to get a bit extra $$ and of course your DD will think she is wonderful
As hard as it will be for you, just sit and wait sooner or later she'll realise these people don't care about her and she'll miss her mum
Thanks girls, pretty happy with it. Nic you'll have to get on to them and get Arabella in yours, instead of in your tum. Did you see Suzie last night, I thought she looked shocking in her bathers, to skinny an dher face looked a bit drawn as well??? Just my thoughts, maybe cause my face is a bit chubba at the moment
I saw that and was thinking the same thing, you could see heaps of ribs. I can't believe she is BF too! When I've tried to do some exercise I have lower milk supply in the evenings, so I'm really finding it hard to get a balance. Don't know how she does it.
Suzie Marony. She was just in the WW magazie and on ACA because she lost 30kg in the 4 months after her bub was born.
Your boys are gorgeous. Ashton has such a big smile. I just tried to download some photos, but I'm so hopeless with computers I have to wait for DH to help me.
She looked ffffreakin awful. She looked really good in the mag. How awful did her face look? I'd say that she looked possibly smaller than a size 6. Definately some issues there.
LURVE your avatar Pam it looks great. will check out your gallery shots in a bit. BTW how is DD1 going?
Suzie lost 30kg in 4 mths OMG what did she eat lettuce the whole time, please excuse my ignorance here but surely that amount of weight loss would affect your milk supply ... wouldn't it ???
I am baby sitting an 8month old on Friday and I am sooo looking forward to it Bella is so beautiful and I love how curious she is about other people. We (a colleague and I ) are treating our boss and his lovely wife to a romantic dinner for two at the RACV resort in Inverloch as a way to say thanks to both of them and so they can spend a romantic evening out away from Bella coz she has been really sick and they haven't had any "them time" PLUS he works so hard all the time.
Will be interesting though coz Bella is teething so of course she has conjunctivitis (SP?) she has started at day care and has cought tonsilitis and something else and something else as well ... so we are like this for her to be a good baby for us.
Can't wait I cannot wait to see the look on their faces.
Pam and Missy your pics are adorable. I put some up too. Some are from when we had the proffessional shots done when she was 2 weeks. She was so small compared to now.
Nae- have fun babysitting, how nice of you to do that for your boss. Hopefully Bella isn't too unsettled. Watch her eyes, conjunctivitus is really contagious!
I also thought Suzie looked pretty awful. 30 kg in 4 months isn't a healthy weight loss. 1/2-1kg a week is sustainable. Drastic weightloss just comes straight back again! I have been on the weightloss rollercoaster for a long time.
I have done something to my back, not sure what but it is really sore. Does anyone have any suggestions for helping with the pain. I think its muscular.
