Hey Strangers! Sorry I've been MIA again (and thanks for the PM Arte ) we started swimming lessons yesterday so we've been busy with that (the older three are having them) and Saturday was my birthday so Mum was out for lunch - and she brought with her a huge Caramel Torte from the Cheesecake shop! Not like I needed it though LOL. So I'm a bit drained mentally and not been posting much. DH has been working a few extra days so its been a bit hectic with the holidays and trying to stop 4 kids from getting bored and fighting with one another on my own , oh and because it had been so hot, our computer has decided that it will only operate in cooler temps so it's being a bit temperatmental so I'm not on as often.
While the other three are having their lessons, I take Alister into the pool and he's completely fearless of the water! He will stand on the side of the pool and jump in whether I"m ready to catch him or not LMAO. He just flops down into the water and it doesn't phase him like it did the others at that age - as soon as they all got their hair wet that was the end of the swimming. Hence why they can't swim now and are my own little "Eric the Eel's" ROFL. But Lindsay is coming along nicely though.
G, I reckon you should give playgroup a go - Mine always loved going and it did give you a chance to just sit back with the bubba while they went and did their thing if you needed to feed etc - I highly recommend it.
Katie, I have my fingers crossed that it all goes well tonight
Hi Nella! So sorry that you got a BFN
Hey Noni, great to see you back and that the holiday was good. Does your BF know about the baby?
Arte, that would be soooo frustrating and I bet you're not exactly keen on the getting up either at this stage
Andie, I hope what you said to him has given him something to think about.
good to see you back sherie
caramel cake made my mouth water lol
we already do playgroup on a thursday morning and swimming on a wednesday morning, but i'm looking for something for tuesdays- so thought gymbaroo might be worth a shot.
You could be just starting to get ready for things - pre-labour can last for weeks or they could be BH's. We've never done Gymbaroo cause they don't have it here. I don't know what else you could do?
Rainy I was going to say perhaps the pains were BH or pre labour. Have you thought about story time at the local library for L? Not going for any certain sex, I would love a little boy next but would be happy either way.
Trillian You need someone to come to swimming and get some photos of A, sounds very funny.
Nella hun I am sorry to hear your news.
Noni good luck with the scan, I cant believe your 11 weeks already.
Arte we are looking at private midwives because I want a homebirth. NZ sounds like it has a great system. Sorry to hear W isn't sleeping again. My friend is going through the same thing with her 18 month old, I was actually going to see if anyone had any advice.
Oz, no advice from me lol, but if you hear of anything good then I am willing to try it. At this point I will try anything.
Rainy, hope the pains are just warm ups. Yip, I BF him every time he wakes. I have tried cuddles, patting, shushing, getting DH to have a go but it escalates to very upset crying very quickly. He Bfs a zillion times a day too. I hope my milk dries up during the pregnancy, I suspect that is the only way he will wean. He is such a good baby in every other way though, I guess you can't have it all. Can you go to a playground and let him go for it to burn off some energy?
Sherie, good to see you back. I don't think I could manage 4 kids and school holidays!
thanks sherie- i don't think it's BH, but i have to say, there is definitely more preabour pain than last time. Dh keeps calling me the girl who cried wolf, after last time he doesn't believe he'll see the baby until march.
katie- i thought of the library, but L is just such a terror i think it would be more stress than it's worth. there's no way he'd sit still and listen. he woud be pulling books off shelves and ripping them!
arte-well L weaned at 25weeks pg- so that may happen to you. i was actually really pleased when he weaned, i had well and truely had enough.
one of my bfs bfeeds her dd a zillion times a day too still xoxo
wowsers it has been AGES since i was on here. had to go to QLD to visit my grandparents for a week. almost went mad without BB!!
Rainy: sounds like BH to me. when it happens try to lie down for a bit (or sit still) and it should go away. i found that it happened when i was walking too much...
Arte: ROFL about your DHs haircut!
ummm. sorry forgot everything else...will have to jump on later as miss L is refusing to go to sleep and the dog is being naughty, sigh, BBL
