Hi Girls - I've been down at the farm house all weekend so have missed heaps!
On the earrings debate, I guess it's "each to their own". Personally I don't think I'll get Amelia's ears pierced until she's a bit older, my niece was 5 and I think that's a good age. I wasn't allowed to get mine done until I was 12 and then I wanted my second holes done when I was 15 so of course to p off my mum I got some ice and a pin and over a few days managed to pierce my own! Of course I only did one ear because it hurt too much to do the other (LOL), it ended up pretty infected too but managed to keep it. My mum didn't notice until I was 18, funny! Even funnier is I didn't get the other side done until I was 21, just keep forgetting! I rarely wear earrings in the second holes these days.
Hi Mon - wow that's bizarre about Jose, is he ok now? Sounds like he was having some sort of reaction to the alcohol - almost like he was hallucinating, how scary. Very sad about his upbringing too poor thing. My father was a bit violent too, he used to throw things and hit mum, luckily I was too young to remember a lot of it but I remember enough. Not nice to grow up in that environment but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
AFM - I think my roids or fissure (I do think it's more likely the latter) is getting a bit better with the cream, doesn't hurt as much but I still look forward to the day I can go to the toilet without grimacing! Sorry if TMI. I'm going to get myself some fenugreek today to try and increase my milk supply, it's been ok but still not good enough to avoid the formula feeds at nearly every feed now. Not that I mind doing that but I really want to continue BF'ing as much as I can but still happy to do both. Some is better than none huh! Amelia is doing great though, she's 6 weeks old today, I can't believe how fast the time has gone, does everyone else feel the same? It just feels like yesterday that I was waiting for her due date to come, it's quite scary how fast it's going. She is really smiling heaps now, especially when you talk to her, it's so adorable it makes my heart melt. I can't wait for the gooing sounds to go with it, had a couple but nothing obvious. She's also still sleeping well at night, getting on average 4-5 hours now, got 6 again last night, she went down at 9.30 pm and woke at 3.30 am, then fed and went back down until 6.30 am. It makes such a difference when they sleep a little longer, hope it lasts!
Today I'm off to the OT, haven't been since before I had Amelia and I'm hanging out for it, my neck, back and shoulders are so sore from BF'ing, most probably my bad posture, I'm taking Amelia as the therapist wants to meet Amelia, I've been going to her for 5 or so years, she's excited to meet her. I hope she's quiet while I'm there LOL! Then I'm off to see a friend for an hour. I have a busy week this week, hope it's not too much for Amelia, now I can drive AND lift the pram I'm going to start getting out more. Tomorrow I thought I'd take a trip into the city to see my work crew - might catch the train though, hate driving into the city, parking alone sux! Then Wednesday catching up with my aqua class girls for morning tea. We're going to discuss doing a mums and bubs swimming class, I really need to get into exercise now I can, I've got 8 kgs to lose! Who said BF'ing made you lose weight, I'm still waiting!!!!!!! People say I don't look like I need to lose it but I've got 8 kgs, got a pudgy gut still and I think my thighs are looking a bit sad ha ha.
Oh and I think I might have gotten AF, my bleeding stopped nearly 2 weeks ago and just a few days ago started again, it's not very heavy though but I'm sure it's proper AF as I have some slight cramps and my boobs are a bit sore - although what's new there ha ha! I didn't think you got AF while you were breastfeeding so there you go....just shows how much I don't know!!!!!
Sorry, I have totally rambled on, hope you're all having a fab day with your bubs. xx
yeah hes fine now....doesnt remember any of it he was hallucinating he said he could see his dad standing there clear as day and he had to protect his girls cos his dad wanted to rape them, he would also see me sitting on the couch and talk to me and pat my imaginary head when i was right infront of him and say i was an evil spirit and he could see me sitting on the couch....i just which i knew why it happened its hard to prevent something when you dont know the trigger....the dr kept saying it was cos he was drunk but hes been that drunk before and usually passes out.....who knows just glad to have the normal one back...made me realise how much he loves me and the kids though
Hi! this is just a selfish one now seeing as I am just so excited lol!!!!
I think soon Ill be able to have a pee in peace because....
V is letting me put her down!!!! Woop! She sat in her bouncer for 1/2 hour and sat in her swing today too while I put some groceries away...Oh yeah...we went shopping too!!! I knew I just had to get out and start doing stuff and Id feel more confident.
I bought an ergo carrier today too and she promptly fell asleep in it so I could get on with the shopping...Unbelievable.
I have started putting her in the cot for her day sleeps as she is getting long and the tetra bed wont last too much longer so thought Id try getting her in her own bed at least for the daytime lol..I tried to get her in there last night but she kept cracking it so at 130am I gave up, took her into our bed and in the semi dark I see this little face looking up at me an smiling and silent laughing...I couldnt believe it lol...
