Holly- I have a confession as well. For the last 2 weeks I have thought I might be pregnant (and I was **** scared)! Even bought a test as well but couldnt bring myself to do it. Its not that I dont want another child, its just that personally right now we really couldnt afford to have one. SO many things were going through my head thinking that I was pregnant. Excitement as well but mainly what would DP think!! However AF decided to come last night much to my relief. Before I thought I was pregnant for real just recently, I was feeling exactly the way you are feeling now but when it became an almost reality to me I have realised I would like to wait a little while longer. I really do miss being pregnant though and that feeling of growing a little person inside of me. But I know my time is nto over yet.
Heaven- for all your hard work paying off!! SInce my issues (I should say DD's issues) with sleep things have bheen going great here. The last 2 weeks she has slept through 12 hours. Occasional wake up if we disturb her in the night but I am very happy. Looks liek she has finally got mine and Dp's flu though WHo knows what her sleep is going to be like now that she can hardly breathe!
Ellie- You poor thing. Hope the MS goes away soon.
Malyna- I read a great developmental thing to do at this age is cook up a stack of spaghetti and put it on their high chair tray and just let them play with it, mush it in their hands and eat it. Messy but I am going to give it a go. We have the dogs to clean up any floor mess. Hope you get some more energy
Nai- Hope tonight is better. Will send that stuff to you on Tuesday as its a public holiday up here on Monday so PO not open. Thanks for your addy
Pinny- DP is improving although the flu has been really bad for him as it has hurt his facial bones even more. We are off to the surgeon again this Thursday. The police are still in toucch with us trying to catch these morons so thats good although they are telling us it is going to be hard work.
Cant remember what else.
AFM- Have my little sis coming ot stay with me tongiht from Qld and then have DD's christening next weekend so so much to organise. Hoping my team Parra win this arvo in the NRL! Gotta go now, washing to hang out, washing up to do! Arrh it never ends!
I'm so sorry for the big absence (a month, according to my You last visited thing at the top of the page). Things have been crazy - I was pulling a "Det" trying to get the last financial year done for our business - up til 2am like four nights in a row. Then Mum got pneumonia and was in hospital for two weeks and is still pretty sick. No good!
So getting on here hasn't been a real possibility!
So much to catch up on!!!
Ellie - WOW, congrats on the pg hun!!! That is awesome. I missed the announcement - so happy for you. Hope you m/s passes soon
Ali, Holly - I'm in the same boat, want to be pg. We're actually trying... so maybe I'll have some news soon. Det - if you read this, don't say anything at MG please
Ali - I take it something happened with DP? Hope he is ok now.
Ali, Holly, Shell, anyone else who is a Saints or Parra fan - condolences!
Shell - hope everyone in your house is getting better soon! Big hugs!
Meg/shell - which Vax are these? Have I missed some with Isabel? Worried now... better check my book...
I'm sure I've missed lots, I'm so sorry, I'll try and be a better buddy!
AFM - Isabel is not really sleeping any better, she still wakes overnight. I've stopped feeding her although I did last night as she was inconsolable and I didn't know what else to try! We're trying a new routine to see if it helps her sleep better. Too early to tell yet...
Not much else to report. Hope everyone else is going really well!
hey girls
hanging in here!
DS was sick with gastro frid, now DH got it and Boof has been off for a couple of days as well. And I can finally see the start of his first tooth starting to come through!!! OMG finally- he is 8 months old!!!!!! Twins had four teeth by his age lol
but then again boof is wearing clothes and shoes that DS1 wore when he was 18 months old! too funny!!
OP - GL!!! What goes on in BB, stays on BB - no stress there!! Hope your mum is getting better now- missed seeing you and ms!!! Hoping to be there on tues, but depends if boof is ok- he seems to have picked up heaps this arvo so think we are OK again- they bounce down as quick as they bounce up!! BTW i am thinking of going to ABA. Are you still going?? Finding it a bit harder to be around people that are supportive of feeding beyond now!! Will fill you in when i see you about the details.
Ali, holly- same here would love to be pg again but for me I dont think it will happen again. 3 kids is great and my plate is full- cant help but would love another one as i am soo enjoying boof- and his conception was a damm miracle in itself. So i find that i am resigning that it wont happen again, but then again not using any contraception, AF has visited once since having boof and that was six weeks ago!!! So i guess its up to the universe . . .
btw congrats holly on the pg!! WOW another miracle- hope the m/s settles down soon.
Nai- if its any consolation, it was full moon last nite. My kids dont sleep well the few days before a full moon and then they settle down again. They are all zzzz now phew!!!!
but for how long??????LOL
shell- whoot on the weight gain, we have our 8 month appointment on friday so will be interesting to see how much boof has put on!
Malyna- definately let him loose with the pasta. Boof ate shell pasta last nite - but not mashed- just as is. We dont mash anything for him anymore- just chuck everything on his tray and he sucks the crap out of it! LOL even without teeth!!
The other day he ate a tuna handroll- it was hilarious. Tonight we had fish and chips so i got him a piece of fish- took the batter off it and steamed some winter vegies for him. He ate a whole piece of fish- a machine lol! From this age until 12 months its all about them experimenting with food as its not their main source of nourishment, but i reckon that it comes close for boof some days lol
Heaven- so glad that things are going better for day sleeps for you!! WHoot
Hi to AJP, Kaz, Pinny mum , megiemoppit!!
Hey do you gals in vic wanna meet up again soon? sorta do a meet up before the silly season starts- WDYGT???
still not sleeping through here but its getting better only fed at 12am and 4ish last nite and then 7am- so that is a bit better!!
Its pretty funny cause I am total opposite to you girls who have pregnancy thoughts. I am so no way no more. Too exhausted now! Lol.
I'm def in for another Melb meet up, was great last time and would be so nice to see how much they have all grown.
Det- Hope the gastro bug has passed in your house. I noticed the full moon last night too and the girls were crazy! Drove me nuts today.
OP- Wow full on time you've had, is your mum improving? Does she live nearby so you can easily go see her? So how often is Isabel waking at night? Is it for long periods?
It was just the 6 month vax we got, bit late for us.
Ali- How you after your team lost? I was thinking of you. Df kept telling me off for cheering on Parra, altho have to say I found the whole game so boring! Afl is way better lol. Hope Ash doesn't get too sick. Have you got vapouriser or anything to help? Thats great she been sleeping 12 hours at night! Whats your secret?
Holly- You'll know when the time is right. Who knows maybe a couple years down the yrack you and your partner might feel in the right position to go for #2.
Tarkine- Hope you get some rest. exhaustion is so hard. Try get some down time.
Busy weekend Ash went to 2 birthday parties and has been misbehaving all day today. Emily been bit of a nutter to alot more crying than usual. I'm so tired today!
Det I think you meant to congratulate Ellie, not me!! Now is a little *too* soon for me! Although, we are not using any contraception either...it's not like we dtd often anyway and when we do DP pulls out But, you know, it's still pretty risky!
Can't believe Boof ate a whole piece of fish!! WOW! He certainly is a machine! Hope he's feeling better this morning.
OP, nice to hear from you! Sorry about your mum and I's sleeping. I am still feeding L several times a night. We co sleep so he is feeding on and off all night - I have my bb's whipped out the whole time and I'm too tired to try anything else! Works for us. I also still change his nappy once a night as he always wets through I can't wait until the day when I can get a full night's sleep!! Good luck TTC! Fingers crossed for you guys!
Ali, wow a preg scare I haven't had af yet and am still round the clock bfing so I'm just hoping that is our contraception!! Like you, we simply cannot afford another bub. Sorry about your team's loss last night, I empathise with you! Is DD being christened Catholic? L's Dedication is on the 8th Nov as my family are Baptist and that's what we do, a bit different from a christening. DP's fam are Catholic though and he wants L christened too, but I'm a bit funny about him being dedicated/christened at 2 churches... (new smiley I just wanted to use lol) I said he can organise it if that's what he wants...that way it's unlikely to happen
Shell must be hard with one being naughty and the other being whingy! Would make the decision not to try for #3 easier
I'm also in for a meet up! Haven't met any of you yet! Who's in Melb here? Det, OP, Megie, Shell, Nai, Pinny, AJP, Rainforest...anyone else?? Ali, Kaz, Heaven...you girls have to get your butts down here!! Malyna and Ellie, where are you guys?
L is trying to rip my hair out...better get off here! xox
OP - great to hear from you. Good luck with the TTC. I hope you get a good nights sleep soon.
Det - great to hear from you too! I always chuckly when I check the time that you have posted. 10pm is an early night post for you!
Shell - I am with you. I just think no way to another bub. I feel complete with 2. Wehave always said 2, and it feels right.
Holly - how is the study going? Must be nearly done for the year.
Pinny - Amber teething necklaces are a necklace that you wear made out of amber. It is meant to stop the pain of teething. i can't remember where I got mine from, but Det has one on her little man, so she might be ableto tell you where to get one from if you are interested.
ellie - I hope the MS is easing.
I slpent the day with my sis and her 6 week old. gosh it makes me NOT want a newborn again. They are so needy. It is nice to have the lovely interactions now htat hte bubs are a bit older OK - I have to go now. Really tired tonight.
Oh yeah - and I an definitely up for a meet up. I know who else hasn't posted in ages - mhami. When we organise a catch up, we can let her know via facebook.
(Oh BTW - did everyone see my facebook status? J has taken to coming in to me in the morning and saying "Hello pretty mummy, did you ahve a nice sleep?!) What a charmer!
SO many things were going through my head thinking that I was pregnant. Excitement as well but mainly what would DP think!! However AF decided to come last night much to my relief.
