Good morning everyone

Well, not so good morning here. I'm sitting here after another night of broken sleep wondering how everyone else is coping? Am I the only not getting a decent sleep? Last night Ashlyn woke up at 10pm, 1am, 4am and then 5.30am. After that I gave up, she went back to sleep but I decided to do some housework instead - less frustrating. I know she can sleep longer because she has gone a couple of nights only waking once, but she seems to need everything to be just right to sleep, ie tummy full, nappy clean, not to hot/cold etc.... It can still take an hour to settle her at night.

Sorry for the ramble, just feeling a bit down after listening to people at Christmas talking about friends babies who sleep through from very young, girls that lost weight and look fantastic after having babies, all the things I don't want to hear when I'm exhausted and feeling fat

no i here you on all counts feeling fat and tired, Eireann has been waking up more and ive found im sleeping in the day sometimes because of it ,doesnt help that my two year old wakes up at about half 5 in the morning, cant get cross at him though as he is so sweet with lots of cuddles and kisses ,

but yep feeling fat as well think ill join WW after christmas try and lose some weight

Dont feelto bad hun ((((HUGS))))) i hope Ashlyn sorts it out and sleeps better for you

Captain I feel for you, Poppy is my only one that sleeps..... The others still wake at night??? I can't remember the last full nights sleep I got...Funny if it was'nt so draining!!!
Can you tell me where to find the body transformation??? I need it!!!! 20kgs to lose but would settle for 15kgs. Really don't know how I am going to do it?????

eej, yes I am still wrapping also, luckily Victoria is still cool not sure how much longer I will be able to do it, heat wise and also she is nearly rolling over everything but an arm. When she gets anything out she wakes up

Iserve, only one roll?????Unfortunately I have to say I have a few, DH took a pic of me in the bath with Poppy, I swear I have had my body stolen and replaced with chubba bubba one!!!! I nearly deleted it but decided to keep it, to help me on my weight loss journey I have put on 3 kgs since I had Poppy, stress, anxiety, health issues to blame..

Mummatwo Poppy is 6.5kgs at 3 months and 64cm off the chart for height and on the 75 percenetile for weight.

Hi Angie, yes come and post in here... We are'nt as chatty as we used to be but....you are welcome.

Poppy has started to laugh is batting at all her toys, trying to roll over, everything but one shoulder gets there, then she gets all angry and starts growling.

Hi to the rest of you girls.

Have a Happy New Year, stay safe...

we are just at home this year but suits me just fine.

Hi Niamh, I joined the Body transformation challlenge, maybe you could too. The cut off was last night ...but if you ask nicely maybe she will add you, there are a few girls going to join in when they have babies so I bet she will if you want.

Thanks Captain for let us know about it. How much weight do you want to lose? or is it about fitness feeling better etc? Me it's the whole package. I am thinking I am going to name and shame myslef and add my "before photos to the gallery, makes me more accountable in my own mind!!!!!!

Hope you all had a nice night.
Happy New Year
Best Wishes for a safe and happy 2009

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Best wishes for the new year.

Pam, glad you found the challenge. I was trying to add the link when I realized you already found it! Mostly I'm doing it for the healthy eating and fitness. I used to be a very fit person and I would like to get close to that again. Not sure my tummy will every look the same again though

Well Ashlyn sleep has improved a small bit, because I've started sleeping her on her tummy. I know I'm not meant to, but her day sleeps have gone from being only 30 -40 mins to 2hours. I decided to buy one of those breathing monitors so I could try it at night. She now settles a lot faster and wakes up less, so will see how it goes.

My tummy went back well after my natural birth but not after the c-sections. I hope you acheive what you want. Tummy sleeping, my kids have all rolled over and slept on their tummy from around 5 months. She most likely would do it as soon as she rolls anyway. Main thing is they are'nt wrapped and the moniter is a good idea, especially until she can get back herself if she wants to.

Niamh - I just looked at your photos of Erieann on face book, she is so cute. I didn't know she had red hair. I've been hoping Emily's hair will go red but I'm not sure it will. I have dark red hair but I was born with it and it hasn't really changed my whole life. I hope your first christmas and new years in Oz were filled with joy.

I would have liked to have done the challenge but don't feel motivated at the moment to do anything, I want to but just can't seem to make the committment. I keep waiting for the lightening bolt moment to kick my butt into gear.

Captain- I think tummy sleeping is more natural for them, they can't seem to startle and they seem more cosy.

I hope everyone had a good new years! Exciting to see what 2009 holds for us, the year our bubba's turn 1!
