I had a friend over for lunch today and then she kindly took millana off my hands for 2 and a half hrs! Ruby slept all this time too so it was nice!
Not much else happening at all! Hubby grumpy cause he working so much and me bored and tired!lol great combo.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

[Nelle]

Caddie, time off is awesome isn't it! What a great friend!

Glad your day was special yesterday Annie!

Riv woke from his nap here late this afternoon pretty unsettled - think he's been used to waking at mum and dad's! Took us awhile to calm him down. He's got a runny nose too...I'm keeping an eye on him. Ah well, the dr can check him out tomorrow too - yes, I'm back there tomorrow, it's mine and the dr's one week anniversary. My butt really hurts!! Glad to be feeling a bit better though.

Erm Ness. Have you packed your labour bag or anything? This sickness has really thrown me out of whack/behind schedule! I can't remember where I was up to in my nesting...

[*Nessa*]

Nelle- i havent done anything!!!

but i did take a belly shot Here

i really should get off my bum and do *****. Atm i am washing my prefolds so i can take them to the hosp. i need to get some flushable liners though. i dont even have a maternity bra yet.

[Nelle]

Really? I didn't make it out of maternity bras. B/fing straight into pregnancy again! Get some Bonds maternity bras though, if you can, my Myer have stopped stocking them (I got my colourful Berlei ones from Myer though), but Target should have them, gee they're comfy! My first Bonds one was white and I dyed it bright green! But I found a watermelon coloured one too!

[shellbell3]

I can't believe Ness and nelle its not long til you both pop! Soon there'll be 5 sexy sep mummies with there next bubs.

Caddie- Sounds like a fantatsic day being free for 2.5 hours! hope you relaxed and made the most of it.

Maz- How is little Mat doing?

Went to mum and dads today and went and visited my nana, was nice day Ash had fun just exhausting. When we got home Ash was so wound up she was jumping on the couch and running round like a mad woman!

Brotehrs and sisters start back tonight woohoo.

belated :bday: Annie

[*Belle*]

Hi girls

Hope you are all well

Im not the best today DH & I have been having quite a lot of issues with our relationship atm and last night was good and I have no idea whats going to happen now, I think counselling is possibly the best to try and work things out. Hope he agrees.

Just wanted to say hello.

Will come back later

[*Nessa*]

Belle,

i think we are going through the exact same issues, but we are beyond couselling.

hugs hun

[*Belle*]

oh geez ness... Im thinking of you xxxx If you want to talk call me at home, my mobile is dead atm.

[Freya]

Happy belated birthday Annie! Sorry Im behind the times.

Big hugs to Ness and Belle! I hope the boys agree to counselling.

Ness, you look absoutely fantastic! Wish I looked that good at 33wks pregnant. Hope youve gotten over the gastro, nothing worse than catching it when pregnant esp with toddlers to deal with.

Ugh Im so over being a Mama atm its not funny. Im in a rut and feeling trapped. Ripley had 2 good days there and now he's worse than before. He's just sooooooo unsettled and I have no idea why or how to fix it. I rock him, I put him in the swing, I offer a feed everytime he cries, I change him, I give him wind drops or colic drops or panadol (he has a tiny cold), I burp him, I plead with him, I even try to bribe him Jett is getting worse too trying to seek attention by being naughty so now Im feeling guilty thats it my fault because I dont spend enough time with him. I feel like all I do is yell at him. Rips and I are booked in to the Parents and Babies Unit down here on march 4th for a day stay to see if we can fix him. If it wasnt for the unsettledness things would be a-ok. I just keep reminding myself that he will grow up soon and be much better. Im still breastfeeding even though Im near breaking point, its a huge effort to resist the urge to give him formula *sigh* I want to atleast get to 12wks before I give up.

I was selfish and had a night out on Saturday. I left Ryan at my friends place with the kids, some EBM and her hubby/kids while she and I took our friend out for her birthday. Was lovely to get dressed up and eat a meal without doing Mummy stuff. We also went to a nightclub and had a drink & dance. Got home at 1:30am and didnt get to bed til 3am but OMG it was worth it. I felt human again and didnt even cringe when Rips cried/wanted to be settled, I actually missed him a bit. Funnily enough he slept great that night in 5hr blocks, typical huh.

Hope everyone else if feeling better than me. Preggo gals, I would seriously stay in bed and sleep as much as you can until those babies arrive! Trying to nap with a toddler + baby is near impossible.

[ambz]

hi ladies!!!

hoping your all well and the preggies are doing fantastic!

wow ness and nelle not long to go!!

nessa i totally understand you on the feeling depressed part. when i found out i was pregnant the second time i must admit i was not all as excited as i should have been. i was so nervous and scared of having two children so close together. i still am scared. the day time is fine but the closer it gets to night the more anxious i get. and when savanna gives trouble to fall asleep i feel like im going to have a breakdown. im taking it one step at a time. steve went back to work last night and i was dreading it so badly but my mum is staying with me for a week to help out. its different this time though cause she cant help with night feeds like she did last time cause im breast feeding. but its just good to know someone is there incase savanna wakes up.
i admire those that have breast fed for so long cause i know now how hard it is to begin with. its so easy to give up and turn to formula and its crossed my mind a couple time but im sticking in there and giving it all i got. i dont know how im going to go when mum goes back to work. i just think back to the hard times with savanna a remember that i got through them and did a great job

maz- big hugs to little mat im always thinking of the little man xoxoxox


take care ladies

luv ambz
xoxoxox

[shellbell3]

Ambz and AnnaT- You know in the long run breast feeding works out so much easier! At the start it is hard cause they are on the boob constantly but once they start spreading out there feeds and the discomfort settles boy its so easy just getting them out over having to sterilise bottles, if you go out milk is on tap perfect temp, don't have to worry bout heating etc. Sounds like you both are doing a fantastic job. I imagine it would be hard, it scares me just thinking bout having another!
And AnnaT, thats great you got a night out, you do need the break, make you feel more like a person.

Belle and Ness, we too are having issues here. I know things do change alot after having children but I feel at the moment we are sort of stuck and don't know how to get out of this rut. I don't even know how we got here to begin with. We did talk bout it last week and we are both trying to make an effort to put things right if we can. I just found we were fighting more, talking less and sort of picking and bickering at each other often.

Poor Ash has been quite miserable this morn, she started to pick up right near naptime but rest of the morn been grizzly and just wanting lots cuddles and getting so upset if I'm not nearby.

[lilima]

Girls - I hear ya on the Stuck in a rut thing. I dont even remember when the last time DH and I "talked" I mean a proper conversation without the telly on, or one of us in front of the comp. Belle and ness, Thinking of you both.

Shell - Hope Ash feels better soon.

Nelle - I am still in Mat bra's too! My boobs still are not back to normal size.

AnnaT - I see you are going to go for a number 3! Good on you! And what Shell said is true bout the feeding. It does get easier.

Ambz- It is great that you mum can be there for you.

We just got back from a weeked away. It was great to get to the holiday house. I am still sick though. Just a cough now. At least the sinus pain has gone.

[Nelle]

Just popping in, hugs to those with r/ship issues. It's hard. I had an unreasonable preggo moment yesterday, Rans sat down too hard next to me and my tush is still rather tender, and I yelled at him and stormed outside. But he came after me and we just chatted for ages about stuff. Was kinda nice to sit outside and just chill with each other! Keep at it guys, when we are old and grey we will be so glad we put in the effort.

High fives and encouragement to the breastfeeders, Shell's right, it just gets easier and easier.

Just came back from the dr's, he's pretty pleased with how I'm coming along, so I've just gotta keep taking my medicine, and coughing and I should be okay. I complained that my butt is really sore and I didn't even have to have an injection today, which was awesome - I think I was running out of room to sit comfortably, even with my big ol pregnant butt!

It's hard though, cos I'm starting to feel good, and am starting to find all these jobs that need doing but I'm still (insert violins) really weak, so I have to pace myself!! Might go have a nap, since I just put Riv down actually. Mum's taking him to playgroup tomorrow morning, so I can always get some jobs done then.

Take care everyone else, hope the Victorians are enjoying this nice sunny weather!

[maz]

Mateauz and I have found our groove with BFing...I absolutely love it. Jed and I bring him into our bed at night and I feed him laying down. We end up having a big group hug....I never want to forget these moments.
