hi there,
telly, your so lovely!! thats a great idea.... maybe someone could sign it for me?? im not even in oz lol.
just a quick hi from me hope your all doing well!!
had my last midwife apointment today... was so sad!! felt like iv knowen her for years!
takecare lovely girls ;)
Hi Girls,
Awww, we're all turning into such a soppy lot aren't we :shakehead: But I feel the same too, I look forward to turning the computer on to see what you've all been up to, wish we could all meet though. Maybe one day :)
Snowy- That really sucks about your pap smear. At least she didnt do it and then ask you to come back, still a PITA. Its not like you dont have other things to occupy your time.
Nat- Ruby grunts and groans when she poos, makes it sound like a real effort - funny though cause its all liquid lol! I reckon they carry on cause they know they will get a snuggle! Like when Ruby cries when she spits her dummy out in bed - she does it on purpose cause she knows I will go in to give it back..... and we fll for it every time!
That is so great she is sleeping so well, it really makes you feel good when you can get back into the things you used to do. I love baking but havnt done it for ages. I will start it again soon though cause school and kinder goes back in a few weeks.
Alison- I remember when we first had DD1, we wouldnt eat dinner until 8.30-9pm some nights, and we ate alot of quick and easy things, not always healthy either. These days I have dinner on the table by 6pm, if Ruby is cracking it, its a bit of bad luck. If I dont get the other kids fed by then, then they are up way too late and are cranky. Last night though I had Ruby in the sling while I cooked dinner, worked great!
Telly- Hmmm, thats a tricky one with your DD. She is old enough to know what manipulation is and knows that it is making you and DH feel bad and if she keeps it up she will get her own way - which she is. I would just tell her (and have done this with my DS) that it is night time now and time to go to sleep. All the birds are sleeping now and when you hear them in the morning then it is time for you to get up too. Close your eyes, dont get up and I will see you in the morning for big snuggles. Love you. Give her a kiss and walk out. It may seem harsh but it wont scar her, she wont even remember in a weeks time. If she starts calling out where are you reasure her that you are there but dont make a big deal out of it, just say goodnight again and walk out.
Worked for me, hope you can sort it out soon, it can be really hard xxx
I love your idea for Mikayla, but maybe we should PM it all from now on, dnt want her to pop in here and know what we're planning!
Kym- lol about Archie and Ruby. I told DH and he said no way! His girls arent ever aloud to even look at a boy lol! Brit's a bit of a stunner too, I love her dark skin! She really loves Archie too, I love the photo of them when they are both asleep on the couch.
I hadn't thought about giving Ruby any water to drink, might give it a go next time it's hot - mind you I had the heater on this morning WTF??? What teats did you use?
Feel free to pass your recipe on this way they sound really yummy although like the others I am trying to loose a few kilos..... or 15 :redface:
Billy- You might have to just have another bub so you can keep seeing your middy lol!
AFM- Nothing much happening here, Ruby is doing my head in with her night waking. I fed her at 10.30pm, 1.30am, 4.30am then 8.30am. Its now 2.15 in the arvo and she has just woken from her first sleep of the day which only went for 40 mins, aarrgghhh! This has been going on for about the last 3-4 weeks, I thought about topping her up with EBM, but she isnt even interested in having both breasts to start with. I see the MCHN on Friday so will have a chat to her and see what she says.
Hi everyone else!
ubba, what a cute picture on your ticker!! you poor thing, hope she gets outa all those night feeds soon!!! lol... not anytime soon... my midwife said to call her if i eva need a pregnancy test lol.
Hi Girls - I didn't get on much yesterday as was out most of the day. I did a stupid thing though, had a friend pop in unexpectedly which made me late for an appointment so in my rush to get out I forgot to shut Amelia's door (I was going to go back and do something) before getting in the car and drove out and hit the garage wall, put a nice scratch and dent in my 6 month old car door! I burst into tears as it frightened me. It's not that bad really but still, could do with being without a car while it's at the panelbeaters!!! grrr. Amelia has been great though, she's sleeping 6 hours for the last 3 in a row and after her 4.00 am feed she goes back to sleep for another 3-4 hours, it's great and also more settled in the day, perhaps last week was a growth spurt as she was so unsettled last week and wouldn't sleep at all in the day! She's in her rocker at the moment and she's all excited and has started kicking her legs so the thing rocks, so cool! Gosh they change quickly don't they!
Now sorry for no persies, I need to vent girls. Will try and cut the story down.....we have DH's mates funeral this Friday (he passed away from a heart attack at aged 33 a few weeks ago), anyway, there's this girl who they used to be friends with, she lives in the UK now, well she used to be in love with DH (not the other way around) and she even used to send him text messages while he was with me in the beginning until he told her he was with me and to leave him alone. Well, he contacted her to let her know about their mate as they were in touch still and he wasn't sure she'd heard (go figure considering it was on Facebook but anyway). Get this, she's flying back for the funeral and DH being the Mr Niceguy that he is has offered to pick her up from the airport at 1.00 am on Friday morning and his mum offered her to stay at their house (he daren't ask me)! Now, call me jealous but this girl had the hots for him and hello why can't one of the single guys without a 7 week old baby get up at 1.00 am and go pick her up. The airport is 45 minutes from our house as it is!!!! I'm so angry at him right now and he doesn't get it. He just said I'm jealous and being stupid as he loves me not her. I tried to explain it's not a trust thing it's just weird after not seeing her for 5 years why he has to play the good samaritan when there's other mates who know her who don't have a 7 week old baby at home! He said I could come to the airport with him, yeah right, I'm going to wake Amelia up at midnight to take her to the airport to pick up someone I've never met who also had the hots for you, WTF!!!!
Anyway sorry, probably sounds immature but it's really bothering me and I'm so unhappy about it but he just doesn't get it. I told him girls don't think like guys......I've seen her FB messages to him as he shows me and she says some weird stuff and ends her messages with xx's....my male mates don't do that!
Sorry girls, had to get that out!
On a happier note, Amelia has her 6 week (at 7 weeks) paed check this arvo so looking forward to that. Will check back in later with the results. Hope everyone is having a great day so far. Thanks for listening to me, what would I do without you all. xx
alison, i dont think your being immature!!! if i was you i would be absolutly spewing!!! (unless im being immature too??) he did enough letting her know... she is not his responsibility!! he could have said no without being rude about it... like sorry we have a new baby but im sure someone alse wouldnt mind. hope im not making you feel worse by agreeing with you but wtf!!!
Thanks Billykat, no you made me feel better knowing it's not just me, I thought maybe I was being unreasonable but I'm sick of sitting back and playing the nice guy, it's lovely to have such a thoughtful DH but for once I wish he would stay out of it and let someone else do it, it's always him and I just don't think it's appropriate this time around! grrrrrrr!:wall:
no id be the same but on the plus he wont have a leg to stand on if you tell him to do a midnight feed and he complains lol
Al- I can see where you're coming from and I think it is jealousy (which is totally warranted by the way!) I would feel EXACTLY the same way because a) there is a new baby at home and b) Im already feeling sensitive about my post baby body.
He is male and probably wouldnt 'just get it'. Maybe you need to tell him the real reasons why it is upsetting you, otherwise it will build up, you will take it out on him and he will wonder what is going on. There is still enough time to organise someone else to pick her up too.

hi girls
just quickly- one handed- i'll be back later for a mega post
I'm an aunty again today!
my SIL had a baby boy
Hudson Stanley
this morning at 4am perth time
7lb 13 oz first bub for DH's older bro
xox madame
Hi Girls - thanks for your support. You're right Ubba, it is jealousy, not because I don't trust DH because I do, just because I'm a girl and that's how we work ha ha!
Hi Madame - congrats on becoming an Aunty! Hudson must be a popular name as one of the girls in my mothers group called her little boy that, I really like it!
AFM - took Amelia to her 6 week paed check (at 7 weeks)! DH didn't make it so he's in the crap tonight when he gets home, I'll be turning the tap off I think for a bit ;) Everything went well and Amelia is nice and healthy. He did say she has a small chin which is why her mouth is open a lot and her tongue always down so he said I have to do exercises every day by holding her chin/bottom lip upwards so it learns to do it on it's own - how weird, a small chin! Better than a ginormous one I guess LOL. Also she has small nasal passages (I think I passed that on as I suffered with blocked sinuses a lot when younger) which explains why she makes so much noise with her nose poor thing. Might have to get some Fess sinus spray for her, I hope it doesn't cause her problems when she's older but it probably means blocked noses easier, poor thing. Otherwise all is well. He didn't say anything but she weighed nearly 400 grams more than last Thursday's weigh in at health clinic, that seems a lot in a week do you think? She's now 4.9 kgs. He said she's a nice size and has put on a perfect amount of weight which is good.
Well, gotta run, she's due for a feed and is telling me so!
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.
Have a great day ladies!
XX Natty
Hey ladies,
just a quick selfish post.
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!
Theo slept 9pm till 5 am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xx
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!
im thinking to join ww too x
Hi everyone!!!
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!!!
Better go, family needs me!
xoxox
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
Hey Ladies,
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 :cry:
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 :cry:
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
Oh no Kymmy!!!! :( Poor little man!! Gee i really hope he hasn't... i feel so sad for him.. ouchie! did he come out quickly? how could it have possibly broken? hope everything is ok :hug: 62cm! Holy cow that is very tall!!! Theo is 59.5 and i thought that was long! hahaha. Glad he's growing well! Actually the MW commented to me taht Theo also looks more like a 4 month old, haha - sounds like we both have some big boys on our hands! Theo is fitting 00 snuggly atm.. so i'm going to have to start getting 0's! Wish they'd slow down, and stay little for longer!
Glad Brit is glad its all over, i can imagine how stressful it would have been, waiting for the day to arrive. I hope you find a replacement pony who bonds well with her and isn't naughty - grr to ppl who lie about the nature of the animal, how irritating!
Natty i know what you mean about the biggest loser! Haha, every year i watch it feeling like the fattest person in the world, especially when i'm chowing down on KFC or pizza!! hahahaha!! :shakehead: But this year i'm getting pumped for it! Because i'll be losing weight too! woohoo! So far i'm finding WW really easy.. mind you it is only day 2! hahahaha!! Actually last night i had to have some banana and lite custard because i had too many points remaining! hahaha! ;) If i wasn't bfing i wouldn't have worried about it, but i'm a bit concerned if i don't eat enough it'll effect my milk supply, so im sticking to my point allocation! Madame if you have one near you, definately give it a go! I think the hardest thing is walking through the door :redface: The door of shame.. ;) hehe. Naaahh its not that bad, everyone there is lovely. I'll let you all know if i actually lose anything!
JDs mum - totally agree! Waaay too hot for walking around the block! My exercise is nil to none atm. Housework and thats it. I want to get a second hand walking pram with two seats, but keep 'forgeting' to buy the pocket trader when i'm at the newsagent! hahahaha. Wow what an achievement losing 38kg!!! Holy Crap! :clap: I know what you mean about it creeping back on, same thing happened here. I'm also a lifetime member gone wrong! haha
Alison - lifetime member here too! DH wants to get a Wii, but i'm worried it'll end up like the 360 he just had to have, its now collecting dust next to the hundreds of dollars of guitar hero crap he also needed. As for the airport drive... yeah i would have cracked the whip! haha. I rule the roost in this house, and what i say goes! bahaha! I wish! I think you had every right to be cranky. If it were me, I'd be telling him to get up at 12am every morning now to give bub a feed - if you can get up at midnight for a skank who you haven't seen in years, you can get up for me!
But seriously, Hope her stay doens't put too much stress on you guys - as if having a newborn to deal with isn't stressful enough!
Madame miss harper is just gorgeous! Looking more like mr tully! Did he have dark hair as a baby? Shes very cute x
Arimeh i can't believe Eden is still in 0000, how big was she born? She looks chubby in the photos, hehe, such a cutie.
AFM - well theo and kaili made up for the 8 hour sleep two nights ago. last night was a SHOCKER. Theo woke 3 times, and Kaili woke twice!! :rolleyes: I knew i would have jinxed myself by mentioning the 8 hour run! Annnndd.. thats bout it! Pretty boring over my way
xx
hey how does the ww work exactly and how much does it cost...
Hi All...
I'm freaking out!!! I think it's definately broken... i took him for the xray and have been given the films but not the report as they send that to the Dr. My mum and i both looked at it and it definately doesn't look right :crying:
I have to wait til the Dr calls me once she receives the report. I am so worried that he'll have to have surgery... My poor little baby... I feel so awful that i didn't notice sooner.
I think i am officially the worlds worst mummy :wall: :cry:
x
Kymmie it's not your fault how were you suposed to know, atleast you can get it sorted better so he will settle easier
Hi Girls,
Hi Kymmy - sorry to hear about Archie's collar bone, is he ok? Don't blame yourself, it's most definitely not your fault and definitely fixable! (is that a word?)
Well I have just had the most long and draining day ever. We had DH's mates funeral, was horribly sad, we left home at 8.00 am and I didn't get home until 8.00 pm - worse is I left DH with his mates getting smashed, he didn't want to come home and I was quite annoyed as I had a headache and poor Amelia has been in and out of the bloody car all day. I understand he wants to hang with his mates under the circumstances by why does everything have to be solved with getting smashed, I was quite upset he let me drive home alone, it was an hour drive back from the house the wake was at!!!!! I just tried to call him and his phone is off, not happy jan! The girl he picked up from the airport was quite nice but she did get the front seat, I felt weird having her in the back with Amelia as we took her to the funeral, is that silly of me? I felt very protective. Also, I've been with DH 5.5 years and I've never seen him cry until today and selfishly I was jealous and upset as he didn't cry when Amelia was born, am I weird for feeling that way or what?!
Sorry for no persies, I'm absolutely shattered.
Hi!!
Alison - I'm glad it wasnt as bad as you expected....that must have been a relief...hope your DH didnt write himself too much off - you dont want 2 babies to look after today!!! I have been with my DH for 10 years this July and I have only seen him cry once over his dog that had to be rehoused - even then it was in the dark and he was just making strange noises so I am presuming he was crying!!! Neither of us cried when JD and Abbey were born - I think I was in too much shock after all the pain etc and I think Simon was in shock as well just watching the whole thing!! It's hard to know what makes some men tick and show their emotions....must have been a sad day yesterday...
Kymmy - Love the photos of the pony - he sure was lovely and they are photos your daughter will cherish forever...hope he has a safe trip to Qld....will you be able to find out of he gets there OK? I always think of the horses when I see a truck go past with ones in it - do they stop for them to have a run around anywhere cause it's such a long way to go? Sorry to hear about DS's collarbone...poor little fella - I'm sure he'll be fine...fingers crossed he doesnt have to have surgery...
Natty - I wish I had a machine like that in my living room, it would make it tons easier....I wouldnt have to make sure my flabby thighs and butt were covered up properly to do it!!! The gym here is only $10 a week and it's open 24 hours so I could go at 4am or something stupid like that before the kids get up but I just bet I wouldnt use it if I joined....when we lived in Toowong in Brisbane the gym was 2 blocks away and I could walk there but I still didnt go!! What a slacker!!
Going to be stinking hot here today - huge fog this morning when I was hanging washing out at 5:30am!! Going to turn the AC on soon and stay inside me's think....going to go to an open house at 11am...would love to sell ours and get something more suitable but it's probably a dream...but I will look anyway...
Abbey had a pretty good night...woke at 1:45 for a feed then straight back down and up again at around 6:30 so pretty happy with that....she hasnt pooped since Tues...is that normal?? She's still fluffing a fair bit but it doesnt seem to be worrying her....still getting lots of wet nappies though so I guess she must be OK...
Hope everyone had a good night...
Talk soon
Shayna xox
Hi Shayna, yes men are complex characters aren't they! Needless to say he didn't make it home last night and he phoned at 7.30 am to see if I could come pick him up from his mates, you can imagine my response given Amelia and I were still asleep! I'm still waiting for him to come home as he had to either wait for someone else to get up or me to come get him, I'm sitting on the couch feeding so he can wait a bit longer! Amelia slept 7 hours straight again last night! I fed her at 5.00 am, didn't even get the bottle in as she went to sleep after 10 mins of BF'ing and slept until 8.30 am! :p Babiescan go up to a week without a poo apparently so don't worry. Wet nappies are good! Amelia poos every day and didn't yesterday but did feed her mostly formula yesterday as we were in and out of the car too much and it was hot so I found it difficult to breastfeed and a bit hard - can't really pull out your boob at a funeral or wake! Nonetheless I'm expecting an explosion today, just hope the formula only didn't maker her constipated. She did get a nice breastfeed when we got home last night however as I was engorged by then!:rolleyes:
Oh alison men can be such morons
Hey ladies how are we all?
its been super quiet in here today!
Kymmy you are NOT the worlds worst mummy :hug:
there was no way you could have known. I hope it all works out well, and fingers crossed he doens't need any surgery xx :hug: What a sh..y week youve had! :hug:
Alison i hope you and your hubby work it out. Go easy on him, he's just lost his good friend. Try and put yourself in his shoes.. If I just lost one of my best friends I'd want to stay back and have some drinks with my friends too, reminicing about the fun times we had together, have a laugh.. and a cry ;) Sorry if this isn't what you want to hear.. I hope you're feeling better today :hug:
AFM i've been watching Nadal on the tennis, im not much of a tennis fan.. but i'm definately a Nadal fan.. mm mmmm What a great bum!!! Theo is sleeping, been now for about 2 hours, Kaili is stomping around the house with pretend tail, saying she's an elephant (its pretty cute), and DH is cooking my dinner! But mind you he's only cooking it because he's going to the pub tonight with the boys! haha, suck up!
hope you're all having a great day! xx
i love nadal too...my grandma was born in spain so we go for him, that and he wins and i go for the winner lol
hi girls
just a quick vent for me
aaarrrgghhh men! my farkin dh has just pushed me to the edge
i just cant cope at the moment, he thinks he is tired from work and just doesnt get it
oh its too involved to explain
i feel like im about to explode. im so angry and upset with him but he cant talk about anything
it sounds harsh but i could just leave
i could walk away from it all right now. everything
sorry
madame
im so sorry girls
i just need someone who understands
sorry
Sarah are you okay?
i went on FB to see if you were there to chat...
I hope you're okay. Take a breather.
I know how you're feeling.. i think.
Sometimes i feel like i could just walk away.
I even find that i bottle a lot of things up because I couldn't be bothered explaining myself, they don't get it if you try - so why try. Or when you do try and explain, they make you feel like a d-head for saying things out loud!
cant really say much, typing with one hand.. but just sending you a big hug :hug:

only a couple of days till he begins holidays too, maybe thats what you both need?
a holiday to relax and destress. and time where he can enjoy his beautiful wife and adorable two children. also a chance for you to get a hand with mum duties
thinking of you x
thanks telly
it is exactly like that to talk to him
im ok. just having a hard time. i feel like a single mum and he comes home and cracks it coz there is some dishes
oh god. what an a hole
he is so sweet usually but i feel he always has these things to say and never says it, just makes me feel like a piece of crap and that all i do is sit on my butt with two happy settled children all day and do nothing
Gawd, if ONLY that was what we did! :rolleyes: haha
I know, i get frustrated too. I feel like i do heaps, but have nothing to show for it iykwim.
It's really hard with a newborn, let alone a newborn and a toddler.
The other day DH asked me if i'd like a cleaner to come in once a week! Sounds silly but i took real offence to it. I felt it was his way of saying, get your act together - this house is a sh itfight (without actually saying it, if ya get my drift).
and TBH, i find that when he's home - i get even LESS done! Drives me insane!
feels like i have three children to clean up after. And he also wants to go and to 'fun' things, so all the housework keeps building up. Then out of no-where i get "light hearted" wow this place is a sh itfight - you're slippin' baby!
swear i could kick him face right then and there! hahaha
Sorry, i kinda high jacked your vent.
just letting you know that you're not the only one.
And i'm sure you remember from when tully was a freshie - the first few months are always the hardest. and they put a lot of strain on your relationship. You guys will get there. This is just a phase. (this is exactly what i keep telling MYself)

Hey Sarah..
I know what you're saying too.. My DH always makes little smart arse comments about cleaning, dishes, housework etc... and how hard he works in the heat... and how he'd just LOVE to do what i do and get to stay home all day. He says it as if he is joking but many a true word is spoken in jest.
You are doing the hardest job of all, and if you were to leave him on his own with the kids for a day i'm sure he'd appreciate everything you do.
:hug: It is bloody hard work Sarah, and i think you are amazing because you are doing double the work and i know how hard it is with just one bub.
Don't apologise, we may not know each other in real life but we still care about you and are here for you! And we all know that you'd be there for us too!
x x x

Hi Girls - my goodness I've missed so much as I've been MIA for a few days!
Hi Madame - are you feeling better? I hope so......and like the other girls have said, don't worry, we are here for you so vent away, god knows I did it the other day! And my DH p's me off too, in the midst of all this business with this visitor girl from the UK I got the dreaded "well you don't work anymore" comment and I seriously had to walk away as I very nearly punched him in the groin and I'm not just saying that either! Grrr. It's like we all need blow up punching bags with our DH's heads on them hey girls! Hmmm, could be a market for that! We love ya Sarah so let us know if we can help make you feel better. :hug: You should see our house, it looks like a friggin bomb's hit it, I just can't find the time or energy to tidy up and I've got to the point where I just don't care!
Hi Kymmy - oh poor you and Archie, it's not your fault silly, how were you to know?! He's obviously a tough little cookie then isn't he! It will mend and he will be fine don't worry. Gosh, he's had his first break of probably many, boys ha ha! I'm surprised DH survived his childhood when I listen to his mum talk of what he used to get up to! I just hope he doesn't have Amelia climbing rooftops and trees like he used to, gulp!
AFM - well, it's been a very full on few days for us. The funeral was on Friday and was an extremely long and sad day. On Sunday we decided to head down to our farm house and visit mum as she lives in the same town and we stayed the night, was nice to get away after all that stress. Evidently, the girl from the UK who I was telling you about the other day was actually quite nice, I kinda felt bad for bagging her out in the end ha ha. I definitely think she has some issues, too long to talk about here but still, DH is aware and agrees. She has some demons from the past that's for sure! She goes home today, am glad really because we've been having to ferry her around everywhere and keep her amused, although she didn't come down to the farm with us, DH wouldn't have dared! She went and visited another friend for the night, phew! I will say though that she did bring a present from the UK with her for Amelia, some little bathers and they are just adorable and will fit her now. I thought that was really sweet of her and I felt even more guilty after what I was saying before I met her ha ha. She did mention to me when we were alone that she looks at DH like a brother and knows he would do anything for her, I told him and he went, oh would I? He doesn't really feel the same as her I don't think which I kinda feel sorry for her for in a way as she's expecting him to stay in touch a lot and I don't think he will, he's hopeless like that! But today she's heading home, he has to take her to the airport so I've told him to go alone as my sister is having a bbq and swim at hers for Aussie Day, he should be back in time to eat hopefully....was a bit annoyed as none of the others have offered to keep her entertained or take her places! Will be nice to have some time to ourselves back though!
Well Amelia had been doing great, she did three 7 hour nights in a row but it got ruined going down to the farm. She had to sleep in the pram and it's getting too squishy for her so she only did 4 hours and then struggled to get her back to sleep. Last night was better, 6 hours....I think she would've gone longer but she hadn't had a poo since Saturday so I think her tummy was feeling a bit sore poor petal. She's all good now though as she had a nice big one this morning LOL. Everyone at the funeral commented on how good she is and I realised she is, she is such a good baby really. She looked so gorgeous too in her little dress and matching frilly knickers. Paul's mate and his partner had a 3 week old there and he was crying the whole day, I felt so sorry for her but at the same time chuffed that Amelia was so good, how horrible am I ha ha! I forget her being 3 weeks old, think I've blocked that out of my head. :rolleyes:
Oh and how ridiculous is this.....I've decided I don't like my pram, after spending nearly $400 on it I don't like it! I've got a Steelcraft Acclaim but I just find it quite heavy even though I thought it was light in the shop compared to the others at the time! It's hurting my hands and arms when I lift it into the back of my big car and it annoys me how I have to flip the handle and press this lever and pull this and that to collapse it. I've seen another I like in Target, the Steelcraft Cruiser - you can also buy a bassinette type carriage with it which I wouldn't really need now as Amelia won't be in that for long, does anyone have one? They were on sale but sold out when I went yesterday so have put one on raincheck, if it comes in I'm really tempted to get it but feel silly as we already have the other one. DH did say we could keep the other down the farm....just this one is so much lighter although I didn't really try collapsing it so should go try that out first. I just preferred the look of it too and it was a smidgen wider in the carriage part so Amelia wasn't so squished in, it just seemed more open. How silly am I looking at buying a different pram!!!!!! I do this, get bored or buy things too quickly and then find something else I prefer, I'm terrible!
Well, as usual I've crapped on, I do it when I haven't been offline let alone when I've been offline for a few days! Sorry girls but thanks for listening.
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!
