Hi BS - gosh thanks for that info on ab exercises, I started doing tummy exercises last week and have had some pains in my tummy on and off since, I wonder if that's why!!!!!!! Gosh thanks for letting me know! How are you doing now, is Eva better now poor thing? Amelia went 24 hours without a poo and I started to worry, she had a nice big one this morning however!
Hi Hannah - how are you feeling? I get like that some time where I don't feel like DH and I get any time together, at least quality time, no such thing any more. On Friday with the funeral he ended up staying with his mates to continue drinking and stayed at mates all night and while it was a different day and I can't compare it to normal he let me drive home on my own with Amelia and really felt alone and unsupported, even though I'm not, I just felt that way at the time. Some times they just have no idea!
AFM - well, it's been a very full on few days for us. The funeral was on Friday and was an extremely long and sad day. On Sunday we decided to head down to our farm house and visit mum as she lives in the same town and we stayed the night, was nice to get away after all that stress. Evidently, the girl from the UK who I was telling you about the other day was actually quite nice, I kinda felt bad for bagging her out in the end ha ha. I definitely think she has some issues, too long to talk about here but still, DH is aware and agrees. She has some demons from the past that's for sure! She goes home today, am glad really because we've been having to ferry her around everywhere and keep her amused, although she didn't come down to the farm with us, DH wouldn't have dared! She went and visited another friend for the night, phew! I will say though that she did bring a present from the UK with her for Amelia, some little bathers and they are just adorable and will fit her now. I thought that was really sweet of her and I felt even more guilty after what I was saying before I met her ha ha. She did mention to me when we were alone that she looks at DH like a brother and knows he would do anything for her, I told him and he went, oh would I? He doesn't really feel the same as her I don't think which I kinda feel sorry for her for in a way as she's expecting him to stay in touch a lot and I don't think he will, he's hopeless like that! But today she's heading home, he has to take her to the airport so I've told him to go alone as my sister is having a bbq and swim at hers for Aussie Day, he should be back in time to eat hopefully....was a bit annoyed as none of the others have offered to keep her entertained or take her places! Will be nice to have some time to ourselves back though!
Well Amelia had been doing great, she did three 7 hour nights in a row but it got ruined going down to the farm. She had to sleep in the pram and it's getting too squishy for her so she only did 4 hours and then struggled to get her back to sleep. Last night was better, 6 hours....I think she would've gone longer but she hadn't had a poo since Saturday so I think her tummy was feeling a bit sore poor petal. She's all good now though as she had a nice big one this morning LOL. Everyone at the funeral commented on how good she is and I realised she is, she is such a good baby really. She looked so gorgeous too in her little dress and matching frilly knickers. Paul's mate and his partner had a 3 week old there and he was crying the whole day, I felt so sorry for her but at the same time chuffed that Amelia was so good, how horrible am I ha ha! I forget her being 3 weeks old, think I've blocked that out of my head.
Oh and how ridiculous is this.....I've decided I don't like my pram, after spending nearly $400 on it I don't like it! I've got a Steelcraft Acclaim but I just find it quite heavy even though I thought it was light in the shop compared to the others at the time! It's hurting my hands and arms when I lift it into the back of my big car and it annoys me how I have to flip the handle and press this lever and pull this and that to collapse it. I've seen another I like in Target, the Steelcraft Cruiser - you can also buy a bassinette type carriage with it which I wouldn't really need now as Amelia won't be in that for long, does anyone have one? They were on sale but sold out when I went yesterday so have put one on raincheck, if it comes in I'm really tempted to get it but feel silly as we already have the other one. DH did say we could keep the other down the farm....just this one is so much lighter although I didn't really try collapsing it so should go try that out first. I just preferred the look of it too and it was a smidgen wider in the carriage part so Amelia wasn't so squished in, it just seemed more open. How silly am I looking at buying a different pram!!!!!! I do this, get bored or buy things too quickly and then find something else I prefer, I'm terrible!
Well, as usual I've crapped on, I do it when I haven't been offline let alone when I've been offline for a few days! Sorry girls but thanks for listening.
Hi to everyone else and hope you're all doing well!
