Jols- PMSL! I will tell DP that although we are like Shell at the moment. Just not even interested.
Shell- thats great about your exercise. I have beent he same. I am actually using the treadmill now its fixed and not just looking at it. I have made a chart for the fridge to log my exercise each day. I am still eating what I like but have lost 3Kg in the last 3 weeks. Still have heaps to lose but know with better eating it will come off faster. I am back to doing abdominal exercises and my abs are shot to pieces. Just trying to do them each day. The first day I did them I could only do 20!
I've just been trying to look uo lower abs workouts cause my sit-ups just aren't targeting my gut. I have certain spots that need workout, I want to look like Jessica Simpson in the boots made for walking film clip! Might be bit delusional there, lol.
LOL
you girls crack me up- i cant even and will never even fit into Jessica Simpsons boots, let alone ever try to look like her- lol PMSL! My calfs are too big!! LOL
Had EWCM here a couple of times as well, but touch wood no AF yet- we arnt worrying about anything here- figure 1 hit in 10 years-it would be another miracle if it happened again!
exercise= phumpf- although been going to pilates once a week- a mat class that i can take boof to- its ACE! Targets your pelvic floor and bits made even flabbier by childbirth- its a mum's and bubs class!!! Its great and i am soo sore for days afterwards-so i know it is working where it should lol. I hate exercising to sweating and puffing so pilates is perfect for me.
i so cant be bothered with anything at the moment- seriously i just want to curl up in bed and stay there for days- no chance of that!
I actually find that if i do get more than say 6 hours sleep- that my migranes are worse- the less sleep i have the better my migranes are- wierd hey!
that is why i tend to get a migrane on the weekends as i have the chance to sleep past 7am. ah well
gotta do paperwork now- grrr
nite girls
you girls rock!
Yep I'm still here, have thought about you all often but just no time to post. We are all good though! Heidi is just a delight, weighed in at 7kgs about a week ago. She has started wanting a feed in the middle of the night again but it's not worrying me too much - I seem to remember Noah doing the same thing around this age before starting solids at 6 months. We opened another business a couple of weeks ago so the poor wee sausage has been dragged into work most days, she's pretty happy though and doesn't seem to mind, just smiles and generally has a sleep in her pram.
Noah started kindy and is loving it, they really do grow up so fast it's insane. Well I'm off to catch up on some posts. Love to you all.
LOL at the raincoats girls We are still the same although DP goes for his follow up visit Monday and if there are no swimmers then we are free to dtd (although interest level on this side is still very low!)
Ali - well done on the weightloss! I've lost 5kg in the last 5 weeks so only 10kg to go
AFM - Miss J is sleeping terribly at the moment It took 2 hours of crying and cuddling and rocking to get her to sleep last night. I am desperately trying to break her feed to sleep association but she is resisting with an iron will. Then she woke at 4am and did a poo so I had to change her nappy so of course she wouldn't go back to sleep. Grrr!
Hi all,
Rain - I live in Mt Evelyn, so just round the corner..yes would love to catch up at the montrose park with AJP, I love that park. In summer we often go there to eat our fish n chips!!
AJP- Hope you have a better sleep tonight... thanks again for your support!!!
Nai- Sorry if I've missed it but assuming from ypur lats post DH has had the snip??? What did he have to say about it?? One day My DH will have the snip but not for a while coz I'm not totally convinced that we won't have anymore.
Det- I do a mums and bubs pilates class but we have cardio work at the start of ours..it's great isn't it...I can't believe how much sleep you don't need...have you always been like that? I don't think I could function with the sleep you get.
Shell- Good luck with the abs work out...LOL about being like jessica simpson!!
AJP- DTD what's that!!! Think I may have forgotten how to do it....well that's my excuse anyhow...No EWCM here... actually not a lot of anything down there. sorry TMI
Holly- So glad L is sleeping better!! Must be such a relief...
Rainy& Jols- Saw those shoes....just gorgeous!!!!
AFM- Everything going along as normal no major news here, although L is giggling do much at the moment...Daddy & Abbey are very funny!!! I had a pretty crappy afternoon yesterday. not with the kids but with extended family stuff etc..but anyway keeping my chin up today and not going to let it bother me!!! Well try to anyhow!!!
Shell, damn about af returning soon. I thought I got a period around 8 weeks post birth but now I'm thinking it was just the last bit of after birth discharge, which seemed to go on forever! (sorry tmi!) I haven't had anything since
Yes I'll be very disappointed also if we don't win the premiership this year. We've been so close in the past few years, I think this is it!
AJP, you're game dtd without protection! We have a few times, but not recently and I immediately regretted it because we can't afford another baby anytime soon, literally. Won't be dtd anytime soon either, not interested anyway! Eek, you've been awake since 4:30!?!??! Has she had a decent amount of nap time yet?
Ali, I'm not sure if it's much of his medication helping him, but I know I am reading his tired signs a whole lot better now, and he's in the cot now which he seems to prefer a lot more than his snuggle bed! I think before, he was just too over-stimulated and would get over-tired and it ended up being a total pita to settle him once he reached that stage. Don't get me wrong...he is still no angel sleeper! Day times are getting better and seem more settled, routine like, but nights are still crap (except for 2 nights ago when he slept in his snuggle bed for over 2 hours - if only it was like that every night )
Did I read that you are going back to work soon? 2 days? I will be going back 2 days as well, but not until the end of the year. Re the expressing, I will have no time to do that either as I don't get long enough breaks. I have no idea what I'm going to do, because even if I manage to build up a nice milk supply in the freezer, that sorts L out, but I am still going to need to express at least once in the 8 hour work day for the sake of my poor bb's and to keep up my supply! Is that what you're concerned about? I'm sure you can express a few feeds during the week that Ash can have while you're working (she will be on solids as well right?). And congrats on the weight loss
Det, that pilates class sounds great! How do all the bubbas stay happy though? I'm sure L would disrupt the whole class if I went lol.
NZgirl, sounds like Heidi is a dream! Glad that Noah is loving kinder, must make it so much easier (mostly for the parents not having to worry!)
Nai, poor J Hope she is more settled today. Do you think it's more teeth? Does she often do a poo during the night? I don't think L has ever done a poo overnight! That's one thing I'm blessed with not having to deal with lol.
Pinny, so cute when they giggle! L doesn't laugh much, but when he does, it's so adorable, brings tears to my eyes! Sorry if I've missed something, but hope everything is okay with your extended family
AFM, L is currently having his second day sleep. He's already had a 50 min nap earlier this morning, woke up at 9:45am, had his medicine, did his morning poo (he's a pretty regular baby!), playtime, went outside for some fresh air, had a feed and now he's been asleep since 11:40am So far so good!
What does everyone do re bath time? How often? For how long? And what method? I only give L a bath twice a week as I've been told any more regularly and it could make his skin worse (he has eczema and dry patches). He has it at any time of the day, not neccesarily evening. He quite enjoys the water and I'm sure would stay in the bath longer if my back could handle it! He is usually in the bath for 5-10mins, unless I have a bath with him and it's about 10-15mins. He has outgrown his baby bath so he sits in a bath seat which sticks to the bottom of the big bath with suction caps. It can recline so it's easier to wash him. He is still quite wobbly and obviously not sitting up yet, so I have to hold him or he will fall to one side! I fill the bath quite high to keep him warmer, is that bad? Obviously I'm always there so it's not as if it's a real hazard, more just a waste of water! I don't wash his hair or anything (he doesn't really have much to wash!), but I put some natural baby wash stuff in the water so he at least smells nice lol. As soon as I take him out he starts screaming until I give boob! What do you all do at bath time??
Okay well I better go eat or something before he wakes up! xox
Holly- I still use the tummy tub to bath in, its like a bucket type thing but made specially for babies. I bath every night as its part of our bedtime routine but thinking to cut it donw cause she has really dry skin and have had probs with Ash and eczema in the past. I use QV bath oil tho. Sounds fine wht you're doing, I used to do that with Ash.
Pinny- Don't know what the story is but hope you sort out the family prob. Try not to let them bother you too much.
Nai- Usually takes a few nights but by 3rd night you should see an improvement, well thats what they say! We stopped the dummy to sleep accosiation and Emily adjusted quite well after about 2 days was a huge improvement.
NZGirl- Good to hear from you. What type of business do you have going?
Det- those mums and bubs classes sound good, I'd take Emily but then I'd have no one to watch Ash. Pain is good sometimes cause then you know you're doing somehting good there.
I got sad news today, a guy from work passed away last night, quite a shock cause last I saw him was 6 months ago and he was fine, apparantly he got sick recently and was found to have a melanoma which had then led to cancer in his liver so must've been there for awhile before being diagnosed. he was in hospital cause of pain and they were working on that and then planning to send him home once that was sorted so obviously I didn't think he was terminal and then next second he has died. He been at my workplace for like 20years or something.
Shell - let us know about the ab work out, sorry to hear about the guy at work who passed away.
Nai - way to go with the weight loss - are you doing weight watchers? (sorry I can't remember - DOH!)
Holly - I plan on bathing Alex ever second day, but sometimes It just doesn't work out that way, so 3-4 days sometimes.
Meg - way to go with the housework.. I went shopping today - that's about it.. LOL! (and DH is home - but shall not go down that path - mr i'll play computer games and not look after bubs)
NZgirl - what sort of business have you opened? Great to hear that things are going well.
AFM - well just the arghs with DH - but what's new? As my dear old mum used to say "women never retire" - still have the housework etc to do, although DH did partially clean the kitchen bench and packed the dishwasher. I'm coming back either as a penguin or a man in my next life!
Just a quick one before i call it a night.
I have L asleep in my arms as i write this, after a feed and i just love the smell of his milky breath!!! It is so sweet, The innocence of a baby, how quick the past 5 months has gone, yet I fel like I've known him my whole life.. I love being a mummy.
Thanks for letting me share that!! DH in bed snoring and needed to tell someone!!!
awww that's so sweet pinny. i love their milky breath too.
i can't believe how close we live- i go to playgroup in mt ev.
we'll have to organise a big montrose playground meet-up with jols soon, the kids would love to play
Not sure about the vommit smell, but it is fairly sweet smell isn't it?!
Pinny - I am glad that you got to share such a special moment.
Isn't there are really lovely big playground in Montrose??
I grew up in the East, and a lot of my school friends lived on the Mountain as I went to a private girls' school nearby. So I am pretty familiar with the area. If your playgroup coincides with me going to mums, I might tag along!
Tarkine- Give him a kick up the bum!
Oh - I meant to say that we hada good day on Sunday in Sassafras, even though I was mega tired. The weather was devine too!
Finally we had a good night last night - Miss J slept from 8-4 and then 4.30 - 7 and so did I!! I decided to go to bed when she did and I feel so much better.
Pinny - yep DP had the snip. No more kids for us!
Holly - DP does Miss J's bath. She is still in the baby bath and we only use water. She has one every night and stays in for about 15min then gets into her pj's, has a feed and then to bed.
Tarkine - yep I'm doing WW. Men! What's with cleaning half the bench?
