well we tried out a new swimming place on Friday and I really wish i didn't pay for those lessons in advance as the lady was a cow - at least i only have another 4 lessons with her. anyway she said at the start of the lesson "say your baby's name and ready, set, go put their head under water whilst watching them and bring them towards you". at the other place i went to, the teacher was ALWAYS with us individually for putting our babies underwater so i thought this was a little strange. I was new along with the mum next to me and I said to her that I was a little nervous about putting Liberty underwater myself and she agreed. I tried it and of course Liberty inhaled heaps of water and choked for ages (and I'm super paranoid about dry drowning too which made me freak out). The other new mum was too scared to put her bub under after seeing that then the teacher says "why did you put her head under, i didn't mean for you to, this is only her first lesson - she won't do that for a while yet" and carried on like i was some kind of idiot - luckily the other mum piped up saying "well why did you tell us to, how we were supposed to know that you didn't mean us". If I hadn't paid in advance for other lessons I wouldn't go back because she was rude most of the time and she didn't spend one-on-one time with us like they did at the other place.
ok whinging over...
On the brighter side of things swimming was a super workout at this place and I was so tired I slept for over an hour and a half afterwards and Liberty slept for 3 hours!!
I've loved seeing all the facebook piccys and reading all the status updates! Thanks everyone for all your comments too.
Onto personals...
mel - how is ashton now?
Nicambhar - 4kg yay!! wow!! i put on 1kg this week and I can't work out why... i mean obviously i've eaten too much but i just don't remember eating more!! and with the reflux ... last night i was walking along carrying her and heard a splat, usually happens just before we're about to leave to go somewhere and she'll spew on my thongs or all on my clothes. i had baby vomit under my armpit the other morning when i woke up... no idea how that happened!! but she is a happy chucker now too. i'm thinking of not continuing on zantac when she runs out.
kerry - hope you weren't too hot today! i have a video on facebook of liberty eating solids for the first time. i made it private though but i think i made it so u can see it, if u can't just remind me cos it is cute (although i am bias). i had to make it private because it was SO freaking HOT that day i was in my undies and t-shirt and hubby didn't think not to video close-up so u can't tell. i was naughty though and said that i had pants on in the video which is kind of true, i had under-pants on!!
donna - are u on facebook? i'd love to see more pics of ur little molly!
candy jay - hope u r ok!
eej - yay for the weightloss too, oh i really should try harder, you're all going to be really skinny soon!!
oh and to answer ur question from a while back jen about thinking about more babies, we're going to try again when Liberty is about 10 months old. Insane I know... haha!! Our plan is two kids close together, wait 4-5 years and if we want more than we'll have another two close together. That's the plan anyway. I really need to get motivated and lose weight, I was so uncomfortable at the end of my last pregnancy and I don't want to feel that way again!!
