Oh art you poor thing coping with puk! Hope it skips Erin!
The rope was because Ds2 was stuck under my ribs! I had no idea what it was for until I asked dh a week later!
The rope would give me nightmares!
I think I should be alright, I had the runs and felt like spewing earlier in the week so I am hoping I have had my turn and Erin will hopefully be saved because of breastfeeding. I can handle spew better than diarrhea so I hope that what ever the kids have stays top side!
Your new avatar is cool! Who does them these days? I still have one from two years ago, it is almost current again lol - just need to add DD1 back in.
Sterla did mine!
Art- Oh yeah, I keep forgetting you're over there lol. I also make avatars but haven't made my new one yet. I need to wait for the baby bonus so I can go get a new laptop cord. Still waiting for my CHN to get back to me :s
Zap- Nice av :)
Damprye, hope T settled down or you get answers from your dr. You must be exhausted!! Wish I knew what it was to give you some advice but I'm learning from you girls!
Zap, rope! I didn't realise that existed for c-s. Im sure your belly is looking better then you think....It's the mirror that has the problem thats all:) (Thats what I tell myself).
Art, hope the poo's have died down. poor bugger that sux especially being at some1 elses house eating fish!
Alish, nice you are feeling you are getting back to your pre bub weight. Are you starving since Bf? I am sooo hungry it's almost unnatural:) Yay Hayden is sleeping lovely for mum. Dosen't a nap help?
Kimbles, Oh no not the dentist!!! Hoping it is done fast and over soon. I am due but put it off cos of the pregnancy...now I have no excuse..gulp.
Tea is getting more cheeky I think:) She is chatting now and smiles are appearing. When did your midwives say you could exercise/gym workouts? I swear one said 12 months to me!!! Thats sounds abit extreme right?
Have a luvly sunday.x
Damprye is having trouble with her phone posting to BB, so she asked me to pass this on...:
Gah, my phone is being a right PITA and won't let me post to BB. If possible, could you please reply to Curly for me? If you eat lots of porridge, trail bars, anzac bikkies (basically anything with oats in it) it helps you feel fuller for longer, starves off bad cravings, is good for your waist line and increases your milk supply :)
curly - ive gone the opposite way - ive lost my appetite, i probably drink about 2 litres or more of water a day too. so thirsty. poor dh says he is compensating for my not eating cuz he finishes off my dinners lol..
the didnt really mention anything about exercise, but they told me no vaccuming/mopping/housework for 6 weeks. *snort* as if!!
so i wouldnt wanna hear how long you cant exercise for lol
My appetite is no where near as bad as when I was pg!! But I also am thirsty all the time! I also have lots my craving for coffee I'll have one if that a day compared to two or three a day whilst pg. From what I remember from my csection they say no house work or exercise for 6 weeks and no ab exercises like sit ups for 6 months. They did give me exercises to do at home similar to pelvic floor but for your abs.
Alish, I had almost no appetite after DS was born - had to force myself to eat anything. Probably why I was back to pre-preg weight by 6 weeks with him and kept 10kg after DD.
Wish someone would tell me (in front of DH) that I didn't have to do housework for 6 weeks!
Went for a day trip to a trout farm today. E slept in the car the whole way there and back which was fantastic (my other two were not car sleepers). I had Burger King for lunch and I suspect the raw onion in the burger didn't agree with her - she was a bit spewy and couldn't get to sleep all afternoon because of wind.
Up until my tummy bug I was crazy hungry, eating practically round the clock!!
Not sure when I can start exercise again, but then I also don't know when I'm ok to start driving either??
Long weekend so far :( As well as being ill, DH got my bug today, and needs to rest up like mad as he has an interview for a promotion at work on Tuesday morning. Add to that a DD that has been awake for 2 hours, fed for just over an hour of that, and is still wide eyed, looking around and not wanting to sleep. I'm shattered...
GAH!!! She just fed again for almost 30 mins, fell dead asleep for all of 2 mins, and is now wide awake and wanting more!!
If this is a growth spurt then I expect she'll be the size of a 2 year old by tomorrow morning!!!
1am - still screaming (me, DH and DD) wide awake (DD and me, unfortunately) and so feeding her yet again. So over it.
5am - DD has maybe slept for 2 hours total since 9.30pm. Not cool.
oh kimbles you poor things, i hope she has a settled day and you can get some rest.
have you thought about top up on bottle?
h drinks 30mls at most if she has been lazy on the boob, most of the time its 10mls but at least i know she is full and it gives me a few hours if that makes sense?
its not for everyone though, just a suggestion for a bit of sanity xx
as for the driving - they told me 3 weeks & just as long as you can break quickly. to be honest i was scared getting back in the car again, but its awesome to have some freedom from the house!
art - boo to the onion. hope e is feeling better today!
hhahaha i love housework, its been killing me not doing it, mum has been coming up and doing it, she is just as fussy as me which is good, except she dosent do lines in the carpet :/ haha im a bit of a freak about that! but i love her for it
zap - i have not been doing my excersises lol, have you? mine you have to lie on the bed and lift your bum up off the bed. pretty simple but cbf!
h is getting her arms out of her wraps now! she loves waving them around.
got a 5 hour sleep out of her last night, you beauty! i feel much more sane this morning.
ok heres a bit of a rant -
im sooo angry with mil. she came over on friday when i was at the drs and mum was doing my housework and made a smart comment - oh youre allowed to do the housework, im not (she never asks to do anything, and i dont expect anyone to do my housework!!) the little housework she has done - the washing up - she didnt wash up anything properly, i had to come home from hospital and do it all again!
and that was the day after h had the worst night sleep - well worst night for what she is usually like anyway, so i was buggared, when i got home she was sitting there talking crap on dh's dad then saying dh was like him!! calling him chauvenistic (sp??) and all that junk!
and saying she drove past at 1am after she finished work that morning to check & see if the lights were on, she was going to drop in & feed hayden (does she breastfeed?) i told her that im glad she didnt, she wouldnt have had a nice reception if she did. what a stupid thing to say.
she had the hide to tell brett that she didnt feel welcome & that she was intruding - does she not remember what its like to have a baby & be tired when theyre up crying in the middle of the night?? im not going to be very patient with her when she talks the absolute crap that she does!!!
i went off my brain :/
gahhh! i cant even look at her anymore
She finally gave us 3 hours sleep from 5.45am, woke for a feed and slept another 3 hours so I could eat and nap!
I've expressed before, but always seems like so much effort for nothing, as she gutses the bottle, dribbles out half and brings up a lot of the rest so it's a bit too much like hard work!
Hope everyone else is having a good day and enjoying the sunshine!
I have both mothers always offering to help, but if I accept from one, I have to accept both, and they don't do things the same way as me, so it frustrates me too much.
Just tried on my pre-pregnancy jeans, they fit and are even a little loose! Woohoo, going shopping!
Go Kimbles enjoy your shopping!
:wall:Alish how freaking frustrating with your MIL. No wonder you are at your wits ends! Hence newborn baby and cleaning and everything else. Best advice is breathe through it! That or hace some boundaries with her for awhile cos it's not far that you get upset bout anything especially when it is her problem in the end of the day:hug: T gets lazy on the boob and gulps about 40ml of formula for a top up, makes me think my boobs just aren't ever enough! Are you expressing as well?so far can only pump 60mls...my goal is for 150ml!
Kimbles...super jealous nothing fits me....lol even my maternity jeans are snug! But enjoy the freedom and go shopping woohoo!!!:) Hope you got some rest after your night with C. I have to admit I had a total melt down last night. T would not sleep no matter what and DH has the flu so want hold her. I was like F*ck!!! At 2am and just bawled, ran out of the room then took 10 minutes for myself...lol looking back now I was quite dramatic and in the end she was asleep when I got back. Goodluck to your Dh tomorrow!
Art, oh bummer with the onion. E sounded like she enjoyed her outing too:) Housework dosen't exist in my place atm....it's to much effort.
Zap, only exercises I have to do is kegals. I can tell things are tighter, proberly could open a jar lol! Same no driving 6 weeks and nothing bout cleaning unfortunately so really don't have an excuse.
Thanks Damprye for the ideas on keeping me full (dam just ate a pie saying that)....so tired that it feels so much easier just to grab sweets and coffee! Bad Krystal:)
Kimbles, yay for fitting the pre-preg clothes! My maternity pants are too loose but I am still too fat for my old clothes. Need to go shopping desperately but I am still losing a kilo every few days so there isn't much point atm Hope you have a better night with C tonight.
Alish, what do you mean by lines in the carpet? Bummer about the mil. Weird that she was going to drop by at such an ungodly hour! Perhaps instead of feeling unwelcome she should take the hint and leave when people start getting cranky - it is nice for people to visit but sometimes you just can't be arsed!
Looks like Erin has caught the vomit bug. She has only had two spews ever until today - she has had three big ones this afternoon, can't keep anything down. I gave her a short feed and she went to sleep so hopefully that stays in. She looks really sad :( Poor thing. I have never had a sick little baby before.
art - my carpet when you vacuum it shows the lines of the vacuum - so i have a certain way i vacuum so the lines look nice haha. sad but its how i roll!
poor e - i hope she is feeling better today. i couldnt imagine a spewy newborn.
curly - i express to empty after each feed, i get about 10 - 20mls max out of each boob put together after the feed. so by the time i express around 730 - 8 i have around 40 mls, so i get about 40-50 mls at that express, then she has an 80-90 ml bottle for the 9pm feed and has a formula bottle also.
