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!

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:

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:
xx
-
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
