Hi girls,
I am soooo tired!!! J decided that waking at 8,9,10 and 12 plus 1,2,4,5 and finally7 was a great idea overnight. She wanted to feed each time. so now i have flat boobs to start the day. absolutely knackered!
I am so unorganised for our trip to melb it isn't funny!!! I haven't bought santa gift or organised where i am staying either night. I am waiting to hear back from a cousin, but feel like that may not go ahead, so can you girls who offered a nights accomodation please be patient with me if in the next day or so say, I take you up on it?
I'm going to go and feed myself... I wonder if last night has anything to do with skipped meals yesterday? Surely given the amount of laid down fat I have that if my body wants to make food for her it could even with a few skipped meals? I didn't intend to, it just happened.
Anyway I am off
Bella
Bella - rest up when J sleeps today!! Its an order
Have been watching the foxtel weather for Sunday - currently Sunday is predicted to be 24 with a few showers, hopefully the few showers are neither here nor there, that temp would be ideal :)
24 would be awesome!
Bella - musta been the night for it - E wasn't quite that bad, but she woke several times overnight for a feed and resettle. apparently DH being told "add a blanket, if we're needing the doona, she will need an extra blanket" meant a flanelette wrap being added, not a heavy blanket - she was cold! rather grouchy! i'm starting the day with flat boobies too!
ahhh, can't replay any more - grizzle bum is ready for bed i think so i best feed and settle her...
So just for a bit of TMI.... AF has finally returned today. I wonder if that was why Jemima has been funny all last night? She fed heaps. Has everyone else got AF back yet? I did excspect it back earlier than now, but it is still weird having it as it has been 14months now.
Anyway gonna go to bed
Love to you all
Bella
No AF here yet - feel like she's coming back - but have felt that off and on for the past three months.
Very tired but can't sleep. was talking to DH about some stuff and he fell asleep. not great in a convo about intimacy (or lack of) - like i wasn't feeling bad enough already. so i've left the room. not sure i'll go back. been feeling bad enough about our (lack of) money situation, and maybe having to go back to work early. and, i dunno - i get the feeling DH isn't taking any responsibility for the situation - i seem to be making ends meet so we must be ok. he isn't worried at all. sigh - sorry - feeling crappy as!
Bg- I'm sorry to hear that honey! It must feel unvalidating when your ignored in a convo about your intimacy. I have been having issues here with DH too, not big ones but just stuff I need to talk about and that he doesn't want to hear. it can be hard cos essentially DH is my best friend. Anyway will be thinking about you hon. Chin up darling
Bella
survived the night - was having a shocker. i woke up to feed DD at about 7 this morning, we both dozed and i woke again to him stroking my hair - when i opened my eyes he apologised for last night - doesn't fix it, but at least he aknowledges how i was feeling and why i got upset...
Hi everyone.
BG glad things ended this morning on a happier note. It's so hard to talk to blokes... alot of the time they just don't see the issues. *hugs*
Bella I got AF back last week. It wasn't as heavy as normal which was good. I'm happy enough becaue with DS I got AF back after he was 1 month old and I breastfed him until 10.5 months. Grr AF. I don't ever want another one again, but it is a releif to see her now, as I don't want anymore kids. I was slightly concerned a few weeks ago...
Naomi - 24 sounds lovely! I could handle that. I hope it doesn't rain... I know exactly where to go to the gardens, but if we go somewhere else..... hehe could be interesting. Lucky hubby is driving.
Well, not much happening. We are nw getting a good 7-8 hours out of Allira most nights. She has been having a bottle at around 11pm and then waking up at 6/7 for a boobie feed. Then she sleeps again until 10-11... and I sleep until DS wakes up. I feel alot better for it. Here's hoping it continues.
The chubby one rolled the entire length of our resonably sized lounge room yesterday. Last night, she kept getting up on hands and knees, and she pushes herself backwards and she made it halfway across the room to the halllway.I can no longer leave her and duck out of the room for anything anymore which really sucks. it means that I can only do things when the kids are asleep, which is not always at the same time.
Sorry house. You will be severly neglected from now on ofr a while... LOL
not much happening... we're supposed to have playgroup today, but I decided not to go so that we can try and stay reasonably healthy for the weekend. I'm dying to meet you girls.
Well, better go. Looks like the boy wants to go to bed, and Allira is asleep.... see how much I can get done.
xxoo
Hi all :hello:
Vic: Woohoo that CJ has no need for the brace anymore :) Glad you are enjoying the early mornings. I like it in the morning too. If P wakes around 5am I usually don't bother going back to bed. I like to sit on the puter or watch telly or sit outside with a coffee for an hour or so before Natty wakes for the day. It's a lovely time.
Naomi: Good on you for keeping an eye on the weather - I keep meaning to look but forgetting. I too hope tomorrow goes well for you and Bailz. Let us know how you're getting on with everything.
Bella: No AF here yet. my mood swings make me think she's going to come back any day, but haven't caught a glimpse of her yet. Could have been that affecting J's feeding patterns - I hear AF can change the taste of your milk and is a common cause of breast refusal, but haven't heard of it making baby want to feed more... but nothing would surprise me.
We are a Mac family. With DH being all arty farty as he is, we've always had Macs. If it weren't for the fact we're struggling for cash at the moment, he'd have bought an iMac by now for sure. They are soooooo well-priced compared to previous models.
BG: So sorry you are feeling crappy about stuff. I can relate. I'm glad your DH tried at least to make it up to you. Hoping you are able to have that chat again and get things out in the open.
Nicky: Wow @ Allira getting moving! Sounds like they're both keeping you on your toes. I can't leave the kids alone really either, but not because P's getting about the place, just because Natty is so crazy with her. They get along fine mostly, but of course the moment I turn away, that's when Natty will hit or kick or something happens that makes P cry.
Hope you manage to get stuff done while the kids are snoozing.
I am barely holding it together at the moment. I feel very stressed and very sad. (Hence why it feels like AF is going to arrive.) It feels like I've applied for a million jobs and I've put my name down with 3 different agencies. I have received a total of 1 phone call. We are going to be in trouble when the mat payments stop. I think I only have one payment left. DH is mega stressed about work and there are issues with his staff. He needs to make some big decisions when he gets back tonight from his trip (he has been thinking about it the whole time he's been away).
I feel like I have made some dreadful choices, particularly over the last year or so. I hate who I am when I'm this stressed. Natty gets yelled at at least once a day because I haven't the patience to deal with her normal development as a toddler. Phoebe is demanding of my attention and I'll admit there are times when I even feel angry with her because sometimes she cries the very second I put her down.
Ah, GTG. Will be back on later.
Amy - i completely understand how you're feeling with barely holding it together. things got so bad this week we had to go and get a charity hand out to help get some food in the cupboards as we've pretty much eaten our way through what we had over the past two months. it seemed that all the "staple" foods were running out together - not a nice feeling! we went and did some shopping today and at least we have food - but swallowing my pride and making that call nearly killed me. i know i've had a shorter fuse than i should - but i think i'm leaning towards sinking in depression more than getting angry now. i can't seem to even find anger anymore. it's just doing my head in. sigh - we can feel like crap together - i'm usually up for a chat if you need to vent hun
well, not a lot to say after that little outpouring. starting to worry about E - she hasn't had a dirty nappy in 9 days and it's becoming obvious that she is very uncomfy. i am going to send mum to the chemist tomorrow if she hasn't gone, but i'm trying as much as i can to avoid medicines to force her to go. she's asleep in my arms (refused sleep anywhere - even in my arms was a fight, so i think she is sore) - when she wakes, we'll try tummy massage again and see if i can give her some relief. poor bubba
Thanks mate. That must have been scary re the food situation. I am glad you've got that resource to get you through. Hope you guys can work something out.
Feels ridiculous coming down to Melbourne for a day (!), but I paid for it ages ago, am being super careful with this pay so I will have some spending money. And I haven't had a treat for ages. And meeting you girls is going to be a massive treat!
Sorry E is uncomfortable. Hope there's movement at the station soon.
BG - Have you tried eating pears? Someone told me this when I got to day 9 without CJ going, she went and I never really tried it, but they swore by it, reckoned that whatever is in them to make you go will go through to BM.
Be prepared for a massive explosion BG.
DS used to go 10ish days in between dirty nappies sometimes and when he finally got it out, it was MAMMOTH!!!!!
I have read and been told it's very common for breastfed babies to go 10 days without having a dirty nappy.
I hope she can get it all out and become nice and comfy soon.
43 here today - sheesh, that will be fun finding a park near the hospital and getting Bailey there and home again - YUK!
Foxtel forecast for Melbourne on Sunday is now 23 - pretty happy with that :)
Now that my weather girl duties are over, thought I'd just say a quick 'hope everything works out ok' to BG and Amy, money worries SUCK big time, such a cause of stress, I'm sorry to hear you guys are struggling to deal with things atm. I wish I could help, or help find a job for you Amy......... Glad you are both coming on sunday though, for a variety of reasons (mostly a selfish one of wanting to meet you both so much) and also to give you something to look forward to and enjoy. Oh and BG - sending Poo-vibes to E. A funny story to make you chuckle, I heard an explosion while Bailey was in his jumperoo yesterday and thought "great, it will be all mushed up his but crack etc" so picked him up to change him and when I put him on the change table I looked down at my white Tshirt and had poo all down my front - eeewwwwww!! To add insult to injury, as his top had ridden up in the jumper his clothes were poo free - LOL. My GF was over at the time and complaining as her baby is a spewer and we were laughing that while she has a spewer, I have a poo-er :) Thank god for napisan :) Anyway, that aside, sending love and support to both of you :)
Well, not sure what today will bring re Baileys xrays, hip angle etc, but I have to take him in alone as Sean is at work and as he just had holidays cant really get the day off, so bugger..... hopefully its good news, I have everything crossed, I REALLY think the brace would suck big time over summer and at this point of his development, but what will be will be
Will report back later, my appt with the surgeon is quite late in the day (415pm), but have to go in a few hours beforehand to get the xrays done
Better go and give Bailey some breakfast - apples are on the menu this morning
Hi to everyone else
Naomi

we got movement BIG TIME last night - and my little princess knew just who she wanted - Daddy! she was hollering for him from the lounge to the kitchen. i asked if she wanted mummy to pick her up and she looked at DH"s seat and hollered for him again. Daddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, daddeeeeeeeeeeee! he gave up what he was doing to come back and pick her up, and he got covered! i'd given her a big tummy massage earlier in the evening, so thinking i might have to add that to her daily routine. her poor tummy must have been bugging her big time though - she hadn't properly slept through for severall nights - 8 hours last night, feed, nappy, rest of her feed - and she's fast asleep again. yay princess
i woke with the snuffles this morning - am pretty sure it's hayfever as my eyes are very watery as well - but i'll see what pans out for the next couple of days. if it's a cold, firstly i'll shoot mum (her house is so cold with the aircon you need a jumper - no such thing as just keeping it pleasant!), then i'll have to work out whether to still come on sunday. like others, i would feel terrible if i made any of the bubbas unwell.
hope not BG that would be a shame and the mars bar slice will melt on the train lol just kidding hope ur ok xoxox
things seem to have settled completely - so i'm back to my thinking that it's hayfever - seems to hit me late at night, and first thing in the morning! stupid crappy hayfever
