Hi Shayna - well guess what, I had a crap night!!!!! The first in a long time and when you're used to 10 hours straight it's a killer really. Makes me realise even more how lovely the sleep throughs are. Not sure if it was something I ate yesterday - I did have cabbage, a growth spurt or the full moon but Amelia woke up at 2.30 am, I popped the dummy back in her mouth as her eyes were still closed but she kept waking up, I tried this a few times for an hour and then put her in our bed which I haven't done in ages, she didn't really sleep properly though, every time the dummy came out she woke up. So at 5.30 am I gave up and got up, she's had a bottle and is now in her rocker blowing friggin raspberries!!!! I feel shattered, funny how we get used to sleep again so quickly. Oh well, hopefully that was a one off for this week. I'm really glad you had such a great night with Abbey though and 12.5 hours is fine, Amelia's done that before. Her average is 9 hours but I get 10-12 every few days or so. Fingers crossed you get another like that tonight!
Well, it's going to be 41 here in Perth, it's 6.00 am and already warm out there. DH has taken the day off to go on the boat fishing with his dad, idiot! He said it's cooler out on the water but I was trying to explain that yes but the sun is still blaring the same. As he walked out the door I heard, I'm not 12. Anyway, we'll see how he goes....I think the'yre idiots personally and besides, as I said to him last night, it would be nice if you could have a day off to spend with us. Bloody men honestly! lol
Archie still wakes 3-4 times a night!! It's ok though, i just turn on my side and give him the boob and we go straight back to sleep! In saying that, i am extremely tired this morning! I didn't have a very good sleep and it wasn't even to do with Archie!
Alison: It's gonna be foul here today! I have to go for my waxing appointment soon which is about 30 mins drive away and i am dreading it! Better than being hairy though! haha!
Ubba: Thanks lovey!! I realise you must be in suspense but i think what i REALLY need is to go and have a blood test... i seriously think i have some hcg lurking from the birth, especially if i was retaining some placenta (which i am not even sure about!)... But i can't be bothered going to the Dr just for a blood test!! I took a photo of the last test i did but i took it on my phone and i can't seem to load them on to my computer for some reason! Maybe i could send you the pic to see what you reckon!? Yeah hurry up and become a midwife, then you can pop over here and deliver all of my future babies! haha! My physio also told me i wasn't allowed to go running until Archie is about 5 months old (no complaints here!haha). Happy Birthday Mr Ubba!!
Oh Crap! Archie has just woken up! I'll be back later!

Well havent you all been busy! I cant believe we get another thread so quickly..Its just hard to remember what everyone wrote though...
One thing that sticks in my mind is the lovely Kymmy declaring her love for me haha well if anyone as cool as you can love me Im thrilled lol, You know my dad makes AWFUL jokes and I sometimes look at myself and go "that will be me in a few years" so will have to try not to embarrass my kids with my jokes.. My dh is really serious and doesnt get me sometimes so everyone tells him how funny I am but he just thinks Im a nutcase lol opposites attract I guess..I must need him to stabilise the silliness...
Kymmy I cant wait for you to find out for sure! Puhllleeeease go get a blood test! I would have been there the first day I cant wait for anything OR keep that kind of thing a secret lol you are doing well!
HOOORAYYY!!! To Abbey!!!! Woop woop for Shayna!!!! Im so pleased for you Shayna, hopefully she will keep it up for you and also JD so you can get used to a proper sleep once in a while hehe....I must admit I have been loving the extra cuddles when I have taken V back to bed but I dont sleep very well with her in with us because I usually dont sleep on my side unless she is with us (boob access lol) so it feels a bit off..
Alison I hope your air con is working for you today, 41..ewwww. Its really nice here today which is a nice change from it being so hot.
Hi everyone else sorry I just want to blob out while V is still asleep...
nop now she is awake....
Got V weighed she is at 5.68kg, and is 59cm long with a little pin head of 36.5cm lol
Hi Girls - I'm stuffed, been out shopping with a friend who lives the other side of the city to me, long day!
Also just to whinge, I met a friend for lunch Monday as she's moving o/s tomorrow and she's just mentioned to me that she's spent the last 2 days in bed with a stomach bug so I hope to god she hasn't given it to me or Amelia, she was even holding Amelia at one stage and we hugged goodbye. I'm so angry as it turns out she got it from her sister who had it on the weekend. I'm hoping I have avoided it, wonder how long it takes to catch, hopefully I would've got it by now. Fingers crossed. People like that annoy me, you'd think she would've told me before I met her given I have a baby and all. grrrrrr. Some people are inconsiderate!
It's so bloomin hot here today it's just disgusting and hot for the rest of the weekend! How is everyone else today?
We went to my parents for the weekend & I've been catching up on my work - I've got to pay all the creditors by Tuesday so I've not had much internet time.
Mr I put himself to sleep tonight! DH was at a meeting so I had to cook & eat dinner with two whingy boys in the kitchen. Mr I was OK in the bassinette playing with his hands until I was halfway thru frying the vegie pancakes, then ramped up the winging so I had to hold him and cook at the same time. I'm eating my dinner and he is getting more & more upset until I put him back in the bassinette where he put his thumb in his mouth & went to sleep. I've been conditioned by the Duke to cuddle to sleep (I had to lie down with him tonight as DH who usually does it wasn't here) so the idea of not holding him when he's cranky is a bit foreign to me. I's put himself to sleep before (mostly when he's having nappy free time ), I just have to keep myself from picking him up I guess.
He rolled from front to back on the weekend, but seems to have forgotten yesterday & today, he's just getting frustrated when he's on his front again.
He gives the best smiles when we talk to him - I got some weird looks in the supermarket today 'cause I repeated what the chick over the loud speaker said about their specials as I was finding it a bit hard to keep talking.
Shayna have fun at the party. I'll send you the link to the alcohol & breastfeeding brochure on FB if you want to check it out.
When do they realise that it's themselves in the mirror do you think?? Abbey starts going nuts when she looks at herself in the mirror - the arms and legs start going crazy and she cracks the biggest smiles.....
Just a quick one before one of them starts yelling at me!
