reality being what it is, you can start TTC now and still be trying six or 12 months down the track (hope you're not, but you know what i mean!) - people who want a specific age gap and will only TTC once they reach the time that age gap would occur are kidding themselve really! we're not taking any precautions - it's unlikely to happen, but if it does so be it.
not a lot to report today. E is back asleep (lucky bag!) and i am sitting here feeling like crud! been feeling really headachey (happens when you only see the chiro once in 17 weeks) a bit rundown, and now i feel like i'm getting a cold - you know that feeling at the back of your nose when you feel a cold coming on? last time i got like this i was able to fight it off (was pg at the time) but i'm not sure i'll be able to this time. having weird dreams again too - who dreams that their mum is pregnant (ick!) and having a baby shower while IN labour (double ick) that you have to go on a scavenger hunt for - and then the actual baby shower is taking place while she births in a pool with those kids ball things (from the play pool things) floating on top to give them privacy?? it was bizarre! worst thing was, in the dream, mum had E while i went on this stupid scavenger hunt around town, and when i got back, E was missing - i asked mum where she was and she said she'd given her to DH - but i couldn't find him - i woke in a panic, rolled over and elbowed him, asking if he had and if she was ok - he ended up getting out of bed to check her for me cos i was so worked up.
hmmm, DH getting me cereal - should probably eat, then find me some panadol
J - My younger brother and I are only 18 months apart - and we have a wonderful relationship (He is one of Baileys godfathers), my other brother is 3 years older and we have a good relationship, but its not as close as Simon and I. I think its more personality though than age TBH. Good on you for going for it if thats what you and DH want for your family - if anyone says anything negative tell them to bugger off Personally, I just dont have the stamina for another one just yet (I'm an old hag compared to you though LOL)
BG - that sure is a weird-arse dream!! LOL Sometimes when I remember my dreams I am weirded out by the strange things my subconsious concocts, and the random people that appear in my dreams LOL Hoping the job situation is working out for you guys
Nicky - Nice stats!! Allira is growing nicely! The CYH appts are a bit random - they do the percentile thing but the rest of the discussion is really mother lead .... I think I might keep taking Bailey monthly - I have to go back to the Paed in Dec anyway, but am interested to see what impact solids has on his growth. I noticed when I bathed him last night that he already looks a bit chunkier - not quite the runt he was last week
Nicky and Bridg - I definately will be in Shepparton next weekend if you are about - while we are busy with the relo's on Sat and Sun - if either of you are around the place on Monday (late morning or lunchtime-ish) would love to catch up for a coffee or a quick bite before we drive home, if not will see you both in Nov anyhoo Assuming the drive over goes OK, I want to head home mid afternoon and Bailey is more tired in the arvo so will sleep more in the car than driving in the morning when he is alert and wanting to play (sounds good in theory anyway LOL, I might have to change things around once I see how he travels there)
I just put Bailey down for a nap and he kept opening his eyes and looking around his room and then smiling and giggling at Big Bird on his wall - its was so funny - then a few minutes later he was fast asleep - gawd he's cute!! He makes me laugh!!
Amy- Yep, Logan is still rooming in with us. I feel mean putting him in his own room, because Jake and Zac share and Leigh and I share, and he would be all alone.
Nicky- Noice stats for Allira!
BG- What a weird dream?! I have been having weird dreams since I was pregnant with Logan.
Naomi- Yep I will be floating around. Next week (28th Sep-2nd Oct) is the last week of school hols. Are u coming on the 3rd October? The 5th is the 1st day back at kinder, so the only time I wont be home will be between 12.45 and 1pm.
AFU, Well I almost cried last night, when Logan slept in his cot. He looked soooo tiny in there, but he likes that when he wakes, he can see everything.
Over it. So very, very over it. Sorry to just come in here to vent, but I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!! Ivy has gone from being a very chilled-out little girl, to one who screams hysterically every time I try to put her down for a day-sleep. Just then she got herself so worked up she was gagging. I've tried everything I can think of to get her to settle while still lying down but she just gets more and more upset until I have to pick her up. The only thing that works is putting her in her little zip-up 'swag' with handles and rocking her or swinging her until she is completely out. If I try to put it down too early, she wakes up fully again and scccrrrrreeeeeeaaams. I don't want to teach her that she needs to be rocked to sleep, but right now this is the only thing that works. She's actually too big for it and this won't be a viable option for very much longer. AARRGGHHHH!!!!
On top of this, 4-5am is now dancing and singing time. Very cute, but trying all the same.
Where has my peaceful, easy-going girl gone?
Sorry... hi to all of you. I just don't have any more in me than a vent right now. Just feel like crap. Those screams get into your bones, I swear.
Kat- you vent all you want honey.... my heart goes out. Jemima seems much more clingy atm too. and getting frustrated on the boob pulling off and screaming... not fun Were all in it with you mate. I think we have all now had good/bad days now and therfore relate. hope it settles soon cos it will eventually.
definitely ok to vent Kat - i think we all have days like that - and it's better to get it off your chest than to bottle it up! we've all had (or are bound to have) days when we just need to get it out! hoping that this is a short hiccup for Ivy...
oooh, just looking at your ticker - if Ivy is still in "catch up" mode from coming early, it's possible she's going through her 19week wonder week at the moment. it's around that time - give or take a couple of weeks - so i'm guessing she'd be almost right on there.... let me know here or on FB if you want me to share the info from the book (i bought it - it's a godsend!)
Naomi - where are you driving through?? ANywhere near Bendigo? I might see how we are going next weekend, and if I can get across to Shep I will
Hi all... cranky baby from vaxs... must be off.
Personally, I just dont have the stamina for another one just yet (I'm an old hag compared to you though LOL)
He looked soooo tiny in there, but he likes that when he wakes, he can see everything.
hope it settles soon cos it will eventually.
