Hi all, just popping in to celebrate a couple of things - the ILs drove their caravan out this morning and also the Menopause might have been a false alert . OK well I could be deluding myself because AF arrived and she's a shadow of her former self, but any sign that I still have oestrogen kicking around is a good one.
Arte - hmmm, did a big posteroo about Montessori a while back, did you see that? Will go looking to see if I wrote anythign worth while when I get a bit more time.
Oz - very excited for you my dear!!! Better have this bub soon cos I"m turning blue from holding my breath!
Ginger, yeah a dog is always a good substitute for another child ROFL. I nearly got seduced into a new round of pet ownership last week, there was a whole litter of "beaglepoos" (I think that should read "poogle" - beagleXpoodle - awwwww they was so CUTE!!! Little girls too). Pity I have an ethical stance against buying dogs and cats in pet shops!
Heading out for a massage shortly. Aaaah can't wait for the soooo goood bliss feeling.
MD, I saw your post in here about Montessori, is that the one? - that is what got me interested. I should look in the education forum, I am sure there must be something there. Remember that your body has been knocked around a bit by all the chemo drugs, it might take a few months for AF to return to her former glory. I also have a stance against pet shop pets - puppy farmers with no actual interest in the wellbeing of the pups.
That reminds me - I was talking to mum the other day and she mentioned they are getting ANOTHER puppy early next year! OMFlipping Gosh! That will take them up to 11. Yes, 11 dogs.
The midwife was just here doing Amelias last check when William pops up and says to her "Our house is messy" lol
hi everyone
MD - maybe the lack of af is a chemo related thing? your bosy has been through so much babe.. hope you are enjoying your well deserved massage - i am jealous!
Arte - that is sooo funny. gosh they come out with hilarious things! how did the check up go?
Oz - hoep you are enjoying your time with your mum. or that you are in immense pain right now...
MM - when do you go to bali? YAY! btw looking at the pics of M she doesnt look chubba to me, so i hope you arent still worried about that?
Noni - allok babe?
Kate - glad things are ok with ypu and Rory - is the counsellinghelping? LOL at the c/s cake!
Ange - hope Lu is OK
Clare - enjoy the last few days - have gelato, shop and eat... dotn envy your moving when you get back but soon you will be in your new house. YAY!
better go - am surpirsing muself with loads of housework today... on a bit of a roll so off i go to do some more.. and then to take J to the nruse for a head measurement
Gosh girls we are losing our mojo - we neverhave new posts!!!
Took J to the nurse - head is measuring well, been growing which is a good thing. was a nice nirse this time who made me feel i was doing everything right! love those ones! he has put on heaps of weight (is about 6.5kg now - cant believe it - over 2 times birth weight) so that's good.
His excema is quite bad, and i ordered some moo goo excema cream and the moisture cream so hoping that arrives soon and makes an improvement. she did mention that certain things in my diet can cause a flare up (it has def flared up in last few days) - tomatoe being one.. interesting as on my new diet i am eating lots more salad (mainly tomatoe and cucumber...). hmmmm. anyone know anything about this. she said strawbs may also cause it which is a bummer as they are v low ww points and i just bought 2 punnets!
MP- we have eczema issues too. Strawbs and toms are a trigger here, as well as soy and dairy. It is such a pita. Sas has eczema on her chin, shoulders, knees and elbows atm, so i am off everything as of today.
How was the massage MD? I am hanging for one, but dad is sailing in the world masters games so no such luck this week.
Oh Ange that's interesting - so do you just cut them out when she has a flare up? I think I will give toms a miss for a bit and see how we go. I havent had more dairy than usual but toms I def have...
I guess i should also cut out strawbs as they would have similar effect to toms. what a bummer!
Yeah, i do notice it is better when i avoid all those things. Strawbs were a big issue for Lu, i found out a large % of kids have allergies to strawbs. So we are just avoiding them as a precaution this time around. Ideally i wouldn;t have those things at all, but sometimes i have a binge, then por Sassy pays for it.
and also the Menopause might have been a false alert
. OK well I could be deluding myself because AF arrived and she's a shadow of her former self, but any sign that I still have oestrogen kicking around is a good one.
