Hi Alison, yep it sounds crap but if you can try and put up with it with a smile DH will think you are AWESOME! He already knows you have the crankies about it so now just kill it with kindness, show her your lovely baby you got out of her old crush...haha to her she is just a skank from the UK and you are a mummy and Wife. So there. I do agree with the others about it being crap and Id hate it too but sometimes it is out of our control and maybe next time he will think before acting..Sorry to hear about your car that kind of thing is soooo annoying and gives me a tummy ache lol..
Hi Madame, Congrats to your BIL and SIL, Im sure you can be a lovely support to her seeing as you are an old hand now lol, Although they are in Perth she will probably ring you for all sorts
Ubba, arent sleeping patterns crazy!? The other night V swapped it all around on me and I had to get up in the middle of the night to feed and it put me all out of whack. Atm she settles at 11 then up anywhere between 530-630 so that is my and her main sleep and I can usually rely on that. As long as that doesnt change I think I can cope...I hope Ruby drops a feed for you soon I got told they drop one once they hit around 5 kg (certainly not gospel but has anyone heared of this?) I dont really notice if V takes less because I just feed her when she wakes up and feed her to sleep so not sure how much she takes but the morning one...jeez she is a slurper! So that mixed with the grunting for her poo is a lovely commotion lol..Hopefully the MCHN has some hints for you
Telly thats a great idea, as I said bfore Ill definately let her know about the next meetup Id love to meet her!
Hi Everyone else!
afm, Im back to doing PT (physical training, not personal, cant afford that..) as of today. I put V down this morning and then did 50 mins on my ellyptical machine, some pushups and situps which not surprisingly I struggled with. I had to get a mega bra for it but the great thing about exercising at home is you can do it in your bra and undies lol...Glad noone came to the door! V was great last night and didnt even cry properly so hopefully that will continue. I ordered the wonder weeks book off ebay yesterday so looking fwd to reading about her developmental stages to hopefully understand things a bit better. Oh well time to get something out for dinner, we are having a salad because our veggie garden is making lots of cucumber and tomatoes! Just got to get something to go with it.
Madame my mate had her bub yesterday too! a girl, 8 pound 7, Amelia Adley
I joined WW yesterday! Apparently bfing mums get an extra 7 points! woohoo! hahaha! We'll see if i actually lost any weight tho, 7 points seems like A LOT.. fingers crossed for me!
Hi Natty - you always make me laugh and feel better thanks! You're so right, last night we butted heads and went in circles discussing it, he just doesn't get it so after her went to bed in a huff and I sat on the couch crying I decided to drop it, I give up, I can't be bothered wasting my energy on it. I'm not happy about it and he knows it, what else can I do. The b*tch best watch out though, I have eyes everywhere ha ha - just kidding, I know it's not like that on his part but I just don't feel comfortable with it all. Tonight's the night for the airport run so good luck to him, he said to come with him but I'm not waking Amelia up at midnight and ruining her sleep for that, what a tosser to think I'd go ha ha! Oh and well done on the exercise, that's awesome!
Hi Telly - another Amelia!!! What a good choice Congratulations. As for WW good on you, I lost 8 kgs on WW 3 years ago, come to think of it I have almost that to lose now so perhaps I should join again. I'm a lifetime member anyway! They sent me something when I was pregnant which went straight in the bin ha ha. I've lost 500 grams this week, woop the chook but it's better than nothing. I think being able to move around more is helping, I attempted sit ups yesterday, it hurt a bit still so didn't do many. I'm going to buy the latest Wii personal fit program and give that a shot.
Oh and go Theo, 8 hours wow that's awesome! Amelia only did 5 and then another 4, has been doing 6 and then 4 but that's ok. I'm hanging out for 8!
Al - OMG, I would be super mad like you at all that....completely correct - why cant someone else go and pick the girl up?? And then she is staying at your in laws place is that correct?? Do you know how long she is staying for?? God, you wont sleep well tonight when he goes out to get her...your poor thing....
Madame & Telly - Congrat's on relo's / friends having babies!! I have 3 friends due in the near future so I'm excited for them too...I cant wait!
AFM - Abbey is going pretty well...I have been off the chocolate now for a while so I think that's really helping her wind situation though I had a mild curry last night so she's doing some stinkers today but it doesnt seem to be bothering her too much....she's still pretty unpredictable with her sleeping...some days she sleeps really well and then she has days like today where its only 30 mins here and there....
They are at a great age at the moment though arent they??!??!! She's getting really good with making noises at me and it's like we have a little conversation sometimes...I'll talk to her then she'll make noises back to me and smile and carry on...she's also fascinated when I'm or whoever has her at the time is eating...her eyes get really big and she smiles and carries on...seems to really amuse her!!! She just loves her bathtime which is great although she likes going on her terry towelling seat thing in the big bath so if I'm hanging over there for 1/2 an hour my back is terrible when I stand up, but it's worth it for her to have a good time....
God, the weight thing....10 years ago when DH and I met we were in really great shape then we got 'comfortable' and turned into super fatty boom bahs....I went on WW in about 2005 and lost 38kg's (told you we were fatties!!) and DH lost about 25 just following what we did....great feeling to lose that much and I vowed never to put it back on but lo and behold along comes DS and it all goes piling back on and I'm battling to lose the same again....just have to get it my head that I need to do it...I think you really have to be in the right frame of mind to get into it....give me some motivational talks girls!!! It's too freaking hot to get the pram out and drag two kids around the block ten times a day!!!
Shayna the only reason I am so motivated is that if I am not fit I will lose my job. They make us do a fitness test every 6 months minimum… Ive never been really fit though but when playing sport or doing training with the guys it is so embarrassing if I am the first one dropping out or the most unfit person there..Its true you have to be in the right frame of mind but once you start and see some results it’s a bit addictive and I am trying to view it atm as my “treat”…time to myself that it can be about me and my self esteem…I got a really nice sturdy elliptical machine for my birthday last year. It’s a good one so doesn’t wobble when I use it and I’m quite big. I’m aiming to do about 1hour per day while I watch the news in the morning. This morning I couldn’t be arsed but did it anyhow and now I feel great…It also stops me eating crap because I didn’t just bust my gut for nothing..Maybe I’ll look at WW too, it sounds good
Oh and I LOVE the biggest loser and every year I never lose weight despite promising myself if they can do it I can lose 5 kg...I never do though so..THIS IS MY YEAR!!!!! Id like to lose 10 - 15 kg by the end of biggest loser....That commando! Face like a smashed crab but HOT!!!! Army training is EXACTLY like what he does so no wonder I am terrified of going back to work unfit..I will die! lol
Just quickly, Had our six week check yesterday...I have to take Archie for xrays today because the Dr thinks that he might have broken his collar bone during the birth
His body is slightly crooked and he has a dimple in his shoulder and the Doc said she can feel a lump on his collar bone that makes her think he has broken it. Might explain why he was so unsettled for the first few weeks. I feel so awful for him
But on the good side, he measured 62.5cm in length which is off the chart for his age so apparently he is gonna be a tall lad! Have no idea where he gets that from! He is also in the 90th percentile for his weight too. Thought he looked big!! Also had mothers group, there were only two other mums there as the others couldn't make it. The other bubs were both 4 months old and Archie was bigger than them both!! My little monster!
Brit's pony went on Wed.... Worst day EVER! It was probably the saddest day of my life! She was devastated!!! But on the up side, she said she felt relieved that it was all over because the thought of him going was stressing her out.. I am also picking up another pony for her to try out this weekend. Hopefully it works out.. there is nothing worse that looking for the perfect pony for your child... half of them end up biting or bucking or bolting cause people are not honest and just want to make money off the pony!!!
Sorry for the me me me post! I have the farrier coming so i have to go have a shower.. i'll come back later for persies x x x x
