Sterla: i am a little shocked that daz will be 5 months old! mind you im still trying to deal with the fact he can semi fit into "0" sized clothes!
AFM: Picked up the new car. got it inusured. drove it around friday night. and saterday. its a good car. i loves it. (photos will be on FB tuesday 'cus we're getting the plates changed and the ones on the car can seen! lol!) tomorrow is a treck into the city to get our marraige cert so i can change my name at vic roads! haha...(better late the never)
question - when will A/F go back to 'normal' (i say 'normal' cus a/f used to come every 3 weeks!) since i've stopped expressing?!? i took a HPT and it was a so...any one have any ideas? becuase i'd like to start to get an idea of when im due so i can work out when i'm 'fertile' ect for when we start TTC (next year some time)...plus...its annoying not knowing!
I havent got AF back either blip. I stopped breastfeeding 3 weeks ago. Thought i would have got it by now. I also took a hpt lol but it was negative thankfully!
Carpet for the new house has still not arrived, so we still don't know when we're moving. Very, very frustrating, and so annoying living in limbo and half out of boxes.
Oliver had a check up today, and all is good there. I was a little anxious after his small gain last time, but this time he'd put on 380g over two weeks, so that was a relief. He now weighs 6.8kg and is 64.5cm long.
The reason I didn't get a chance to do personals today is cause, for some unknown reason, Oliver just wouldn't sleep. He went about 6 hours with a max of 15 minutes sleep! He wasn't cranky tired, just too distracted to sleep I think... it meant I couldn't get anything done though.
Anyway, hope everyone is well. I'll catch up on personals soon - promise .
wow, days are just flying by at the mo and I seem to not have much time for the computer, so will also have to apologise as I won't have time for personals...again
We are building a house down in Vic but won't be moving down for another 12 months or so, but still waiting for the last minute stuff to be approved, so things are still pretty hectic around here. Sammy is good, she FINALLY started sleeping through til 3am again only 2 nights ago. I felt like a different person the next morning, it was the 1st time in 3 weeks I had has 5 hours sleep straight and BOY did that feel good!! Sammy is just SO adorable at the moment, she is blowing raspberries and really making an effort to communicate with us with all kinds of sounds and gurgles. I have just put away 2 whole bags of clothes for my SIL who is due in July as they don't fit Sam anymore..it was semi sad and semi happy moment...I can understand when people tell you, "oh enjoy while they are so little, it doesn't last long" Sammy went to see her cousins play soccer on Saturday and spent most of the day outside, she was soo buggered that night, she ended up going to bed early...fresh air is a wonderful thing!
Okies, will try to be back today but the next couple days are still a bit crazy with MG's meeting and meeting friends for coffee...busy life for the SAHM!
Miss you all and PROMISE I will be back soon to update more and catch up on your bits...
Sterla : Gawww about the carpet! thats rather cruddy! i hope they do it soon!
Moose: Woo for moving down to melb! like i said its hawt down here! hope the build goes smooth for you!
AFM: been a semi busy day. shopping...ran into a mum from MG and talked at the shops for 45mins! went to vic roads and changed over my plates, well one set the other will be changed over after the rego is paid on the new car (thanks to the daler!) and i changed my name (with a new photo too!...which i'll have re-done in march next year! hahaha) tomorrow daz has his 4 month jabs (poor poppit!) then MG which should be good...
now its off to bed before daz wakes up!
Moose: You sound very busy! Good luck with all the planning - I hope it all goes smoothly. So cute Sammy .
Antheia: How is your ankle healing? Are you able to move around much? It must be so difficult with your three little ones to look after. Hope you're doing okay.
Blip: How is the new car going? Roomy I bet! Sorry, no idea about AF either. She still hasn't made her appearance for me, and I'm quite happy for her to stay away for awhile longer yet! How is Daz doing?
Peach: What is your new place like? All settled in? I know what you mean about this being a great stage for bubs - Oliver is really giggly at the moment. He loves peek-a-boo (giggles everytime I say "Boo!") and gets such a cheesy grin on his face when I'm playing with him!
AFM: DH and I still don't know about carpet, so we still don't know when we're moving. DH is starting to drop the niceties with the carpet people... it's getting ridiculous. We were told 3-5 days and it's been over 2 weeks! If I were an angry person I'd be pretty PO'd, but instead I'm just mildly annoyed, lol .
Oliver and I are good... just plodding along really. Oliver has been getting more and more difficult to get to sleep during the day though, so much so that I finally gave in and gave him a dummy. I'm not against using them or anything, I just hadn't felt that Oliver needed one... but today he was just fighting sleep so much, and no amount of rocking would send him off. I knew feeding him would, but only temporarily... so I dug out the dummy I'd bought awhile ago, and in 5 minutes Oliver was asleep! I was actually quite upset about it to begin with (a strange and surprising emotional response - I guess I felt like a piece of plastic was doing a better job than I could ) - but thanks to some lovely BB girls I quickly got over that, and am now hoping the dummy might solve the day sleep issue .
Anyway, it's late - so I better get some sleep. Hope everyone is well - goodnight .
Well, after waiting almost 3 weeks for carpet... we went to a couple of other places, with one being able to lay carpet for us next week. That wasn't the best, as it meant asking the real estate for another week at the rental, but it would have to do. Then, on the way back from one of the carpet stores, DH got a call from the original place. The guy still didn't know where our carpet was, but he had a wool carpet in a similar colour that he said he'd give us for the same price as the original carpet. We went and checked it out, and it's really good. He can start work tomorrow and finish laying it Friday... so, we can finally move on Saturday! Talk about a saga, but I am so happy that something is happening after so much waiting.
Sorry, I know that's not baby-related at all - but I'm just so relieved things have finally worked themselves out.
sterla : WOOO happy dance time! i bet you're really getting excited now! i bet Oli would too...if he knew...im sure he'll be excited having some new walls to look at!
anthiea: thats all i can say
AFM: Daz had his jabs today. he did really well, as in better then i thought! most bubs where screaming strait after the jabs...but daz qwarked...and when i offered his bottle he kind of didnt want it...just wanted his dummy and a cuddle. then we went to the shops for a wonder around and then off to mothers group. one of the mums was sick, but it was still nice. we found out that out of the 6 of us there today (normaly 7) that three of us got married while UTD! i was the 'lastest' as such being 33 weeks another girl was 25weeks and the other im gessumeing before that? as she had her little one at 29 weeks! and we talked about when we plan on having our next bubs - one girl wants to be UTD by her sons 1st birthday! which i admire! i told DH that after my 21st we can start actively TTC. i just realised (whilest cruzeing my FB friends from school) how lucky i am. most of 'em are still out drinking/partying/at uni. and only *just* comeing into the real world. while i maybe a SAHM, i have possably the best - never ending job - in the whole world. and when daz (and any other kiddletts!) are 18, i'll be out clubbing with them! (esp daz hahaha) moments like this one...make me realise that im the lucky one. not them
Antheia: Catch up soon and hope your ankle & everything else slows down for you so you can enjoy a nice time with your DH
Sterla: HOW EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!! you must be stoked! Good luck getting into your new house and hope the move goes nice and that Oli adjusts nice and easy for you! Are you doing Oli's room all up?
Blip: What a good little Dazman to be soo good after his shots. I can't believe you went out shopping and MG afterwards, thats awesome! Sammy usually just wants lots of cuddles and is a little grouchy so I usually plan the rest of the day at home as she sleeps lots after her shots. Thats such a great outlook on your motherhood and you will be able to enjoy having the kids out of the house at an earlier age and party on! Too funny about being married UTD, we just found out yesterday that one of DH's childhood mate just got back from getting married in Fiji and his mrs is due in September!
Peach: How's it all going? Teething, moving, sleeping? Are you enjoying your new house as well??
PJ: Hope you and Summer are ok!
Raver: Hope little Bella and yourself are keeping well
AFM: Sammy has finally started to sleep through til 3am again (THANK GOD!) but she's been having issues falling back asleep afterwwards, still I manage to get 5 hours sleep so can't complain. Haven't weighed her yet but know she is still gaining well, there are new rolls appearing each day! LOL I actually had to put some cream as she had some "leftovers" in one of her chins! LOL Poor thing is constipated at the moment, so had to give her a suppository, which I must say, actually worked a treat once I got over the fact that I had to put it up her bum! I used to HATE suppository as a kid and have VIVD awful memories of it, so was a bit reticent doing the same to Sam, but it loosened everything up and in 10 minutesm I had a poo! On a brighter and more appetizing subject, I am really starting to think that Sammy is ready for solids, she is showing keen interest in whatever we eat and a few times after feeding her on the boob and giving her formula top ups, she has asked for more formula. I think that the fact she is also still waking up at night could be related to her being ready for something more substantial...anyone else thinking about starting their bubba on solids soon?
On a final note, I really think my boobs are starting to dry up and tbh, I am almost over breastfeeding. Sammy doesn't seem to enjoy it as much and its getting harder as she is distracted by everything. The only good bit is at nightime but then again, last night, we had to give an extra 60ml on the bottle anyway. DH is really wanting me to keep going til 9months . I said I was aiming for 6 months and would be lucky if I actually made it there.I'd like to keep breastfeeding through Winter because of the extra immunity but the last couple mornings, I've barely managed to express 20mls, which I used to get no problem, so I know Sam is probably eating more as well, but call it a feeling, even though still on Motilum, I feel my boobs aren't as full as they used to be.
Off to shower as I am going to see my SIL who is due early July. Wishing everyone a good day!
Hello Girls!
My goodness its been a long time since Ive posted a big one and even though I should be spending time with DP I have to catch up with my baby buddies! Just a quick update on us not to be selfish but we have been so busy...
New house is going great, we have so much more room its great... The Feline is now going out into the yard during the day to terrorise the wildlife which he loves of course, DP has his own room for his artwork, I have a bath(blissssss) and there is brand new carpet which is great for when Winter starts to crawl(no rush!).
Winter has been good, her second tooth has caught up to the first one and she looks so cute! Nights have been hard tbh the last week though, and last fri I had a bit of a breakdown it was all getting a bit too much, this week has been much better though, not during the nights but more just with my own mental health. Turns out one of the Mums from my MG lives in an ajoining street so we have been going walking together which is good.
Today we had our mg in the park which was so nice, there was a pelican in the water!! Really nice to catch up with the group. Ive made quite good friends with a couple of them(one of which came over yday) and its just really nice to meet new people who are on the same page. I love all my friends but its good to have other people to catch up with during the week iykwim?
My goodness its been sooo long since I posted honestly Ill be here all night if I type everything we've been doing(makes me sound like Im busy lol) I cant be bothered typing anymore about myself!
Ok one more thing, got Winter weighed today for the first time in a month she had only put on 500g which concerned me, the nurse said I had nothing to worry about though. She is now 7.66kg so is now officially double her birth weight. OMG she rolled over for the first time this week too! She is so spunky I love her so much
Sorry to be selfish but I PROMISE Ill be back in the morning for personals(I dont want to be half arsed and there is much to say!)
moose: dont give up on your body, but if its what you want, then do it. i know my milk dried up even with the motilum when my head went "i cant do this any more" and i had a brake down (which invlolved alot of yelling at poor DH) before i realised that expressing was taking its toll, and i needed to be a happy mummy to make daz happy...you're doing fantasic you've come along way and given sammy liqward gold you've worked your bum off...i take my hat off to you! i understand the alertness thing too - thats a big part why daz wouldnt go back to the boob - he's a nosey little bugger at times! as for going out with daz when he's 18 it'll be interesting who can drink who under the table (Ohh lord its going to be FUN haha) as for solids im hoping to wait untill 5 and half six months. but i did buy some of that rice stuff for daz...it looked a little better the the farix one...its 'brown rice' not white, so im hopeing that'll mean less consipation!
peach: YaY! for the new house glad you got a bath...and things are looking up for you! and WooHoo on winter rolling! thats fantasic!
AFM: been quiet today. went to the shops to check out high-chairs! fond one i semi like...but im going to look at more...starting to think about when daz starts solids. mind you last night he was refulxing so i tired to make some thickner up with formular into a paste and soon feed him some (to try and make a plug LOL) and it all came back out haha, too smart he is. tonight he's been good. had about 230ish mil's before bed (as in 180 at my mum and dads. then another 80ish mils here, but he threw up some...so im guessing about how much he had all up. he then fell asleep as i tried to burp him so i left him asleep for about 20mins and put him into his cot...i kind of hope he'll wake up early so i can bring him into bed with DH and i 'cus its sooo cold! even though he's got flanelett sheets, a fluffy warm blanket then three cot dooner thingys (two hevyer ones and one lighter one) DH and i both still worry about him getting cold...plus i think DH has gotten used to daz being in bed with us...mind you i have too. i can see him growing up so fast, i want to try and do this kind of thing while i still can...cus i already can see daz will be the kind of kid who wants to be 'alone' or independant.
at my mum and dads tonight i went though some photos from christmas and i realise how much i miss my bump! as sad as that is...i want another bump! ...but the next time i'm *that* big will be the middle of winter. NOT SUMMER with bloody 47deg. days! (well i tell a lie, i dont know how hot that feels i was up to my boobies in a bath birthing daz...then in the a/c of post natel ehehe)
I'm off to bed. hope every one has a lovely friday! (WOO pants of friday! haha)
Just a quick post to let you know I probably won't be on BB for a few days. We're moving tomorrow, and I don't think our internet is back on till Tuesday. I'll miss you all . I hope everyone has a great weekend, and I'll catch up next week .
sterla :woo have fun moving - we're expecting a full update once its done!
hows every one else?
things here are quiet. bought daz a high chair yesterday. i've put him in it a few times and he seems to like it. the only downer is he can get some reflux whilst sitting in it - so i tired to make some thickner gel up (its ment to be for b/f'd babys...) and give it to him from a spoon...but failed and 99% of it ended up on his bib the other 1% came back up! haha...but it re-affermed that he's not ready for solids yet, so at around five and a half six months we'll look into it more (but i did buy some of that rice ceral stuff...) but im glad i bought two shower certons for when we start! daz has also worked out how (kind of) to put a rusk into his mouth on his own, which is cute. Ohh and i've worked out how to get daz to sleep during the day. put him on his play mat with a pillow...he'll roll over and go to sleep on his own...which is really cute...i wonder it'd work in the cot...but with the whole SIDS thing...im not going to try it.
hope every one is having a good weekend!
Hope you are all having a good weekend with your families.
Blip- I know what you mean when you say you miss your bump... Im always looking at my pg photos and I made a plaster cast of my tummy too which is in Winters room, I miss my big beautiful belly so much I felt so gorgeous with my gut. It sound silly but Id love to have it back... only without the projectile vomiting thank you
Sterla- Stoked you got your carpet! Hope the move is going good for you and that Oliver is being good for his Mummy.How is everything else? I had something to say to you but I cant remember for the life of me... Mummy brains!
Moose- Our new house is awesome and we are fully settled. I love just having the extra room and being able to go for walks is golden... and guess what? I can honestly say you inspired me to go walking! So thank you*
I cant believe I forgot to mention in my last post, we actually started Winter on solids last monday. Farex with BM once a day as she was displaying all the signs she was ready... and she gobbles it up in no time! She is eating so much its insane. And the look on her face when she gets the farex is priceless! She even grabs the spoon out of my hands to jam it in her mouth herself, little piggy
You have done a great job Bfing Sammy up untill now so whatever you decide on doing you know we will all support you.
Antheia- OMG I cant believe your DH is going away! Dont even know what to say. Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend together
Our weekend is going well, nothing too exciting oh tried to do Winters hand prints on paper... what a disaster! Have any of you tried it??
AF arrived on Thursday. Blerk! The cramping was soooo bad Not nice. I have had bad PMS and feeling extra sensitive and paranoid too. I hate it.
Orson had his first try of solids on Thursday aswell but most of it came back out so definatly not ready yet. We'll try in another month and see.
Orson has been having horribly hard poos of late, to the point his little bum is bleeding. Anyone else have this problem? I might have to give him extra water or something.
Hmm not much else. It's my 23rd birthday this Friday! Then DH will be leaving on the Monday after. Boo hoo! I'm getting really upset about it. But i know it is for the best. He will have a better job, better money, better lifestyle and we get to move out of this hell hole that i have lived in my whole life! Plus we're moving to Melbourne and i love Melbourne!
Anyway that's me and i will be back sometime after DH is gone.
