hi md- i just had lewis on my back in the ergo while i was vacuuming. it's much easier to 'get stuff done' when they're on your back, and i like it for long walks. i have to get someone to help me put him in it though. i can't do it by myself. luckily dp slept in this morning and went to work late so he gave me a hand, otherwise i would've been stuck with him on my front.
i'm excited about taking another year's leave. i feel really lucky that i'm able to. we'll probably start ttc in january so i can sort of 'kill 2 birds with one stone'- if i'm going to be home another year i may as well be pg iykwim? i absolutely struggled working while pg. i found it so draining!
your trackies sound hot! my favourite pairs are roxy ones and peter alexander ones LOL
MD and Gracie: oh jeez, if you girls are wearing upmarket trackies then i had better get shopping. i am wearing my VERY attractive bonds maternity ones! ewwww they are so not sexy. DH walks in this morning, there i am in my trackies, with a cardigan on that i have had since i was 9yrs old...yes, it is very stretched, but i just love it, my hair was all over the place and i was covered in regurgitated baby milk and he says: man, you are sexy...and he meant it!! ROFL! i told him that it was obvious that he had no taste or was desperate or BOTH!! LOL!!!
yeah i havent mastered the art of back carrying ergoness...in fact i havent tried. leila is the bub that likes to throw herself backwards and i am just not sure it would be safe yet. do you guys have this prob? it's the same with the bike. she is old enough and big enough, but just cant keep still, and i just dont trust her there on the back where i cant see or reach her. i was thinking about buying the MamaBike, as you can either have them on the front or back...
Gracie: sounds like a plan re the pg for next year. i reckon it would be nice to have that time off. especially as it will be very different from the first pg as we'll have little ones under our feet. i dont know how i'll cope being pg and not being able to have my afternoon nanna nap!
he he re the smoke alarm. did lewis sleep through it ok? i find leila doesnt even budge, but dare you touch the door knob of her room and she is awake and partying....
JazMum: congratulations on the 10 year mark!! that is fantastic! and wow 19 years. oh yum peking duck...mmmmmmm...wish i was eating peking duck. ikwym about not finding everything. i find that when i am out and about not shopping for myself i find heaps and then when i go to buy stuff, there is nothing!
Gracie- Congrats on having another year off.
Cherpie- Hi and Welcome back
Jazmum- Happy Anniversary for tomorrow. Where are you going out for dinner.
Art- Party Planning is in full swing. The boys party is next Sunday... OMG MY BOYS ARE 3 NEXT SUNDAY.... I am still in shock. We are having a BBQ Lunch with friends and family coming over. Just have a few more pressies to buy then they are done. They are really really excited about their birthday its really cute. ATM I am going crazy with partys, my niece turns 4 on Sunday so we are off to her dress up party Olivia is going as a princess and X as Spiderman and J as Batman.. I am also madley planning Olivias Birthday too....
Sherie- LOL at the farting episode this morning...
MD - Have just been watching Season 2. I have been recording it each week but yesterday was the first time I got to sit down and watch it, although I am now fully caught up. Took me a little while to work out all the characters, but I'm really enjoying it. Almost wish I hadn't watched it until the end of the season!
Clare - I have my Bonds maternity tracky pants on now! I also have an Esprit pair that is my 'fancy' pair.
aaaaaggg i'm so friggin nauseous today. knowing my luck, just when we decide to not ttc until january, i'm probably already utd!!
just kidding, i've probably got food poisoning or something, but i definitely feel like spewing.
cally- glad we've got someone else to talk about big love with. did you watch season 1 as well or just join in to season 2?
my dad tried to pick it up at the start of season 2 but found it too weird.
leanne- you are such a party animal these days LOL
clare- yes lewis slept through the alarm but it was me that was bl**dy woken by it. so annoying. lewis is being a total pita today though- he's doing that thing where he only wants to sleep with my nipple in his mouth. it's so wrong!!!
yes i think you need some new trackies. i have turned into the queen of trackies and hoodies this year very roberta williams.
lewis doesn't really move in the ergo on my back. sometimes he'll have a whinge if i stand too still eg. trying to do the dishes or something. he wants me to always be moving.
I have had a shocker today. Lu keeps trying to let go of whatever she is holding and stand on her own but the balance isn't quite up to the brain. I went to have a shower and DH was watching her. He turned his back for 2 seconds and she fell and cracked her head on the lino. I heard the crack from the other end of the house. I ran out and DH gave her to me, she went all still and limp and quiet for a few seconds which scared me, then she started vomitting. At this point i kinda freaked out! Took her to Dr, fortunately all is ok, but scared the crap out of me.
I had already taken her to the Dr yesterday about her ongoing intermittent temp. Got a urine sample and turns out she has a bladder infection. So now on AB's and hopefully back to normal, the poor little thing has been through the ringer lately. I need to get a helmet i think. Talk about mumma guilt. It's running high over here.
Enough about me
We have the back carry with the Ergo mastered. I needed help in the begining but i can manage on my own now. I started by putting her in when it was on my hip and sliding it around. It's a bit of a stuggle and i am sure alot of people get a laugh out of me putting it on!
Gracie- hoodies and trackies is my uniform!
Is anyone on here called Tiffany? Someone from BB has requested to be my facebook friend, but i only accept people that i know IYKWIM, so before i reject them want to make sure it's not one of my new friends in here!
Sorry for lack of personal posting, it's been a big day.
I've had a horrible day so far. I finally got my act together and left the house (yesterday I had to go out and started getting ready at 10.30 but didnt leave the house till 3!!) with our passport applications, only to find you have to have an appointment to drop them off. Talk about emotional, I almost burst into tears at the counter! I controlled myself though and made it back to the car, where I had a cry. I dont even know why I was crying really! When I was packing Maddie's pram into the car I was yanking at my bag stuck under the pram, it wouldnt budge. So I said the F word whoops and turned around and there was a nanna giving me the evils and tutting at me, as if to say how can you talk like that around a baby. Usually I dont & I felt so bad. I just wish I could feel better because lately I feel like I cant be bothered with anything. I wake up with a pounding headache every morning. Then this morning Maddie woke up with very crusty eyes, in fact her face was covered in it and they have been red and sore all day...oh please dont tell me its conjunctivitis AHHHH! Anyway thats enough of my boo hoo poor me rant.
LAMO Gracie at Lewis doing his sleeping with the nipple thing. Typical male!! At least you wear name brand trackies, I've got the el cheapos from bestandless hahaha I wouldnt be caught dead outside the home in it though. I desperately need new clothes!
Jazmum - Congratulations and happy anniversary. Did you end up getting an outfit?
Leemar - 3 wow has the time flown by? I cant believe one day I'll have a 3 yr old.
Clare - Thats really nice that your DH can still say your sexy even when you dont feel it. How sweet!
Arte - Cant believe you have a toddler now, thats crazy. He is doing so well.
MD - Whats a wheelie bug? You are an ebay queen!!
Trillian - Sorry to hear you had a bad sleep also, but had to laugh at Alister and his trumpet bum!
MM- Sounds like you've had a shocker too. When bubs have a snotty nose and rub it in their eye it is easy fo rthem to get conjunctivitis. Hope its not, and hope you feel better soon, feeling sick really gets you down.
very roberta williams.
Talk about mumma guilt. It's running high over here.
