I thought I wrote this, well must be on the lost post LOL
MD hope you get to go back home just like you want it. Good idea on FDC, you need a bit of a break and some time for yourself. W is at daycare today and I was able to do a bit of housework and caught up with things.
I called them earlier and he still refused EBM

It's just never easy, isn?t it. Might pick him up early, dont want him to starve.
Sorry for venting!

Hi ladies

Well FDC have rung me to give me two names to ring and visit (!) which is kind of scary and a relief all at once. I'll have to drag the breastpump out tonight, I've got this far and never expressed

- I've been making her cereal up with just water, but I used a tiny bit of EBM yesterday and it tasted so much nicer LOL (bad mummy MD). E's wolfing her purees down now

. Didn't think she'd be a reluctant eater.

Hi Noni, I had WW Wednesday at the dietician and I've put on weight too

(well what do you expect, it was Easter, right?) Oops back to post-baby weight. Gotta get me into some kind of pram-walking group or something. Glad you found thegood mat, sounds like A is having a ball on it!

Agnes, you poor thing with W still refusing the EBM - have you tried giving it in different sorts of cups, etc...and have you tasted it to make sure it still tastes nice (some mums have a problem with an enzyme in their milk making it taste funny - solution is to scald the milk just after you've expressed).

Gracie I decided not to watch underbelly...too much seediness for me, I had my fill in SA with the whole snowtown murders thing. I'll watch pretty much any other trash though

.

Clare did I understand right, your DH is called Lorenzo? That's a bit funny for me cos my Dad has a giant silver poodle called Lorenzo, it was an Italian car racing reference I think, cos my Dad is in love with everything from Italy most especially vintage Alfas.

Jazmum, well done with the Christening and I agree with everyone, what a cutiepatootie! Thanks for your words of wisdom in the last thread, reminding me to put it out there and the Universe will bring it to me! (which I'm normally pretty good at remembering, but DH's employment is the one and only area of my life where I feel completely disempowered and voiceless).

Sherie, good luck with A's vacc's...I have yet to get E's 6 mths ones too. Bad timing since DH is away again next week

.

OK, better keep this short, my mouse is acting up.

hi everyone
agnes - how was W when you picked him up today? Did he have a good day?
noni - bummer about the weight gain. I really need to lose some weight. I can't stand looking at myself in photos at the moment. I want to buy some new jeans too, but i think i need to wait until i've lost a some weight. Great that you found the mat everyone was talking about.
leanne - what is wrong with little Jordy?
We had such a bad night last night. I'd given H half a banana to chew on (most of it ended up smeared all over the high chair) a little rice cereal, some apple, and for dinner a little piece of potato, parsnip and carrot put into her mesh bag.
We were up so many times and she was squirming around like a little worm. She has also been really spewy. If it's not one thing it's the other.

JaZmum, your ticker pic of Hannah is absolutely adorable! She is such a cutie. LOL at the toilet roll cover

Noni, I will join the supposed-to-be-losing-weight-but-gaining-it-instead club

I was doing sort of o.k, but then once Will started solids I realised that me eating sugar didn't bother him anymore and well, it was easter.

MD, good luck with the FDC ladies. It will be nice for you to have some time to yourself when your DH is away. I would go crazy if DH wasn't here to do bathtime and give me a break after work.

Leanne, hope your boys are feeling better

Agnes, hope that W was o.k at daycare even if he wouldn't drink.

Last night I made a tortilla pie and gave W some potatoes, kumera and chicken that I left separate but he wouldn't eat it - then I gave him some of the pie and he wolfed it down. I think it was because the other stuff had gone cold. Tonight we had pie reheat but he preferred the corn muffins I made (yay - he likes my cooking!)

He loves the nappy in the bin trick, after nappy time he searches for the used one and carries it with a huge smile on his face (except at bathtime when he drops it and heads down the hallway lol)

Hi girls!

well had another big day...a half hour walk with another mum and ended up getting home 4 hours later...again coffee and too much food...egad!

Hi Jazmum! our mums group tends to meet twice a week. one day is just a sit down with the babes rolling about on the floor and the other is for walks in the park, followed by coffee and cake. we love it as it gets us out of the house and able to talk about baby poo without boring anyone!! i think there are 10 of us in the group and our babes range from 4 weeks to 7 months. there is definitely a baby boom going on here!
And i LOVE the piccy on the ticker! what a great expression she has!!
oh and isnt the late night 'dancing' in the cot annoying?! leila goes beserk in there and has a little party and then finds that she cant wriggle out of the corner...oh the joys! lol

Agnes: yeah the coffee is a 'naughty' for us BF mums, but my oh my it is a great guilty pleasure! lol! when i am feeling too indulgent i swing towards the decaf...
wow 5 teeth! that is so impressive. leila is still a gummy grandma, although that doesnt stop her from clamping down on me! cheeky little thing.

Gracie: yeah being a melbourne-ite, i feel left out in not having seen underbelly; everyone i speak to has seen it and everyone is very covert in asking if you have seen it. is it any good???

MD: that is so funny! most people have never heard lorenzo's name before and they constantly call him lawrence...i told him that now he is an oz citizen he should really be called "lozza" LOL!! he would fall over backwards!!
and your dad obviously has good taste in all things italian!! lol!! our friend is actually a designer for alfa in italy and i have to say that since knowing him my appreciation for 'fast' cars has grown! he takes us out in the demo cars before they are released to show the tricks. i of course have no idea about cars but i do like that the passenger mirror as little lights that light up when you flick down the sun visor at night! a girl can never be too careful when applying her makeup!! LOL!! trust the italians....

Noni: glad you found a good mat. does asha like it? and yeah i feel more comfortable with leila on hers as it doesnt get pulled up and it does provide some cushioning from the inevitable tumbles. and you are a brave woman even trying to tackle the wicked weight! i wish i had your strength! i am waaayyy to scared to even go there sista LOL.

Leanne: sending you good luck for you and Olivia on Friday for her first day at 'school'. and big well wishes for your little boy.

ok best be off as leila is threatening to wake up...arrghhhhhhhh!!
