Cass - Congrats on the 10 years!! Sucks about the lack of diamonds though!! Men, thats all I can say. Mine was romantic at the start and now...pfft. All good though, 10 years together proves your love really. Our 10 years is next yr...scary.
Arte - That sounds like awesome fun for W! How did they go?
I am zzzzzzz, is there a big growth spurt around the 4 month age? Miss E has been feeding feeding feeding. Boobs are like rockmelons at the moment. The last week she has been waking at 3am for a feed, and now the past 3 nights its been 1.00am, 3.00am, 5.00am.....ahhhhh, neeeeed sleeeeeeep!
Arte - yeah, we have a bunch of cars that are leased that are classified as pool cars, however because we don't have secure parking they tend to 'belong' to someone. Because I now have to go to site every day and it is more time efficient for me to do it from home, one them is now mine. My boss even approved the purchase of a seat for K so I can still do some pickups if DH is delayed or has an after school thing. Hope the night in the mountains was fun.
MD - hugs, hope things improve soon.
Cass - well done on 10 years. We didn't do anything for ours (last year), let alone sparkles!!
Oz - I would have preferred not to touch the keys, but there wasn't any way of getting back to the office. They got a pretty big dose of Glen 20 when I got home and I used a fair bit of hand santisier once I got the engine going!!
Hi girls, I'm reading but not posting. So tired at the moment, not quite sure what is going on but the boys are absolutely exhausting. J is going through a terror phase and is driving me up the wall - you know the toilet full of toilet paper stage? Well he is right in the middle of it now and is exhausting me. L seems like hard work at the moment too. Doubly exhausting.
ISA: oh man I hear you about those growth spurts! They are so tiring. Have to admit I prefer the sleepy style growth spurts lol. But arte is right, the boobs do go fab again for a bit
Cally: man it would seem that no one has celebrated the 10 years lol!
MD: I reckon applying for the consideration is a fab idea. Apply for everything you can, there is no reason not to and at the end of the day you want to feel proud of your achievements rather than bruised and exhausted. Higher education is a thankless undertaking so be gentle on yourself and do it your best way.
Hope everyone is good! We had a pretty good day here. Yummy lunch out then the neighbours came by with bags of gorgeous clothes for Marta that their girl has grown out of. Gotta love it!
Well my boobs were fantastic...but today they seem friggin empty again and E is having heaps of 30 second feeds, my let down is taking forever!!! So over my body. Maybe I just need sleep!
Cass - Dont you love it when people pass on clothes, good on them hey.
Arte - You poor thing. I totally sympathise!! I jhate sleep deprivation as it turns me into a moody cow not to mention feeling so tired!
Ginger - Hope the boys calm down soon. M is exhausting too.
H, it will take time for them to catch up again with all the constant feeding like that. But just trust that they are working perfectly
G, it's hard when they get to that stage isn't it? I hope they give you a break soon.
Cally I had to laugh at the 'Kenny' story.
MD, definitely apply for the consideration. I've known of people who have applied for that sort of thing for far lesser reasons and there is no harm in at least asking
G: oh man the loo paper is a real bug bear of mine too! Leila I reckon could dispose of a whole roll in one go if I let her. Leila has also been mega hard in the fun department too. ATM if it's not for her then she just complains and moans the whole time. It is so exhausting...and so far I still only have one kid to really contend with! Marta is still doing cute easy to please baby stuff lol
None of my kids ever did the loo paper down the loo thing thank god! Only if they were a bit over zealous in wiping their bums LOL. But we had plenty of other delightful activities they did instead. DH and I were talking last night about babies and I said I just couldn't go back to having another baby in the house and DH said it would be sorta nice - not in a 'wish I didn't get a vasectomy' way, but just lamenting on the passing of our baby days and I said no way! I am so happy to be out of that stage now I just couldn't do it all over again with a new toddler and have to go through those full on phases. I know I am well and truly done having kids because now I look at other women with their prams and toddlers and babies and think thank christ that's not me!
I honestly couldn't cope being pg again. I don't know how you are doing it jm! My two seem to both be at a really exhausting trying age at the same time itms? I am exhausted every night and can't wait to crawl into bed.
Speaking of no more babies, at least I got to have the fun of going with my sil to the baby gallery yesterday and blowing $1600 of her money on baby stuff! Lol
Trill, I also think 'thank christ that isn't me' and then I realise that it nearly is me again! I am sure I am too old for this!
JM, I have been meaning to say for days - you are ready to pop! I love that feeling in the last couple of weeks that it could happen any time. That is about the only good thing about the last couple of weeks lol
W and DH's overnight tramp was a great success. W managed to walk the whole 3 hours there and then half of the way back the next day.
Cally, I suppose with your line of work it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Cass - yay for your bag of handmedowns. I must've used up all my handmedown karma in a former lifetime because i've been diligently passing along all of my girls' nicest outfits but we never seem to get any in return. Next lifetime maybe. LOL
Oh the loo paper. E went through a phase of doing this a couple of months ago and we had a couple of very close to calling the plumber incidents. The trick when the dunny is blocked by too much paper is to hold a bucket of water as high as you can and tip it all into the bowl as smoothly as you can. The force of the falling water unblocks the s-bend. I'm a veteran LOL.
Ginger, that's fabulous that your SIL took you along for buying baby things! sounds fantastic, lots of fun. I enjoyed that time sooo much when I was pg with Missy E but am also kind of glad that the intensive baby days are behind me. Doesn't stop me from feeling that let-down sensation(!) in my fake boob(!) when I'm having a clucky moment though
JM - gosh I can't believe you've just gone DING!?! How quick was that?!
We have also been lucky enough to miss the toilet paper phase, though its not to late for Z.
We have decided to join the crazy train like JM and Arte and go for number 3 lol.
I am looking forward to do a day of doing nothing today, think I might break out the playdoh for the kids. My ever so lovely neighbours had a party last night and since my bedroom is at the front of the house I was up all night. I want to go and egg their cars lol.
Awwww YAY Oz!!! Bring on that number 3! Exciting times.
JM - Cant wait for bubba to arrive!!! JIC I miss out on saying it, all the best for the safe arrival of your beautiful baby.
Ginger - I would have been in heaven shopping for someone else's baby and boy did she splurge. I will go nuts when my sisters have babies of their own one day.
Trill - Thanks for the reassurance. I find things start to go downhill when I am sleep deprived...funny that hehe. Had a pretty decent sleep last night though, as good as I could expect anyway.
I get clucky too girls, but one rough night with E is enough to shove the cluckiness feeling far, far away. I just dont think I could do it again? That being said, once E enters toddlerhood and things start to get easy who knows. DH is firm against it though.
man i still fluctuate totally between wanting another and running for the hills. i still get all doe eyed when i see a pg belly or a wee baby. but i am happy in ourselves right now ITMS. i dont see another baby on the cards really.
that said, i think i got bad gas or something as i am getting alot of popping feelings in that area that the other day made me go: 'uuuuhhh is that a baby??!' but it must be a gas baby lol. as i type i can feel it, and i have this horrid feeling that it might have to do with the muscle separation...what do you girls think? and of course i googled and now think that it might some sort of IBS?? but it doesnt hurt, just feels like a baby kicking and rolling, but also could quite easily feel like a pulse...argh, hard to explain. but google showed that this is quite a common feeling for IBS stuff....
