Morning Girls - public holiday in Perth and DH is having a sleep in while I'm up but wanting a sleep in, nice for some! :rolleyes: Amelia has been waking up anywhere from 4.00 am on the last few days, I manage to get to about 6.00 am before having to feed her but it means I'm up and down a few times before then to put the dummy in her mouth. I know DH works in the week but all weekend I've been getting up to her so it would've been nice to have one day I could have a sleep in. I swear they think because you don't work you don't deserve a sleep in. Makes me a little mad I must say. Amelia must be going through a growth spurt as she's been out of sorts the last few days, feeding more and waking more in the night - it's strange too because whenever I go into her room she's still asleep but stirring not crying so not sure what that's about but oh well, we go with all the changes don't we girls!
Hi Mon - have you heard anything from Jose? I hope he's ok.
Hi Kymmy - are you ok today? What were the results? Poor girl I hope you feel better soon.
Hi Madame - isn't it a crappy week, everything seems to be happening at once with everyone. I too can't stop thinking about Mikayla, I feel so terrible for her, it sux, it really sux! On a positive note I'm glad Harper is doing well - one of the girls in my swimming class's daughter is called Harper :p And congrats on losing 1.6 kgs even if you had a bad week, geez, that would be a good week for me if I got on the scales and they were 1.6 kgs lighter. I'm starting to think all you fully breastfeeding girls are even luckier than just being able to feed, it helps with weight loss too doesn't it? I really want to get into the walking but with 5 days above 35 and some days into the low 40's there's been no chance! I was going to do a mums and bubs fitness class tomorrow but it's going to be 35 and the room has no airconditioning so I think I'll pass.....either that or I'll pass out lol!
Well, might go get myself some breakfast - I feel like cranking up the stereo to wake up DH, aren't I horrible........I so wanted a sleep in today! Poo bum!
Hello Ladies..
I am feeling pretty crappy this morning. DH got up and got me some panadol early this morning. My throat is really sore from where they had the tube going down it and my tummy is really tender.
Gosh that was horrible. I am so glad it is over! I am spewing that the whole time i was pregnant and during labour and birth i managed to avoid the hospital, then had to go in for this! I just hate the thought of being asleep and not knowing what the heck they are doing to you!
You're right Alison, it seems like a bad time for everyone lately! My poor daddy is still in hossy.. his leg is soooo badly infected. I am so worried about him. It was funny though, while i was waiting to have my procedure i went to visit my dad cos we were in the same hospital!
Mon: Has Jose showed up yet?? I hope so... :hug:
Madame: Good on you for losing 1.6kg!! I was looking at your pics a while back and you are such a stunning looking girl!! No wonder your kids are so gorgeous!
Telly: You've done such a great job of organising the pressie for Mikayla! You're such a lovely one! Thanks so much for doing it... I (and i am sure everyone else) appreciate it so much xxxxxxx
Hello everyone else :hello:
AFM: My darling, gorgeous, beautiful, handsome Archie was AMAZING yesterday! We got to the hospital at 9am and i didn't go in for the d&c til 4pm and the whole time he was an ANGEL! He either slept, fed or laughed and smiled! And he was so well behaved for DH while i was in there too! I was so worried at how he would go but he was just awesome! I had to fast all day so they had me on a drip to keep my milk supply up. I think i have lost some weight cos i feel really skinny today. I didn't eat or drink for 24 hours though so i suppose thats one way of losing weight!! DD stayed with our neighbor (who is about 40 years old with no kids and who loves Brit to death! Brit says she is her 'best friend' !! They are both really into horses and hang out together alot! It is quite funny!) and they went to the shops and bought me a pressie... it was a copy of the local paper and magazine, a can of Rexona deodorant and a packet of nail files all paid for by Brit! How cute is that!!!?)
I might go back to bed for a bit.. hopefully i'll wake up feeling better.
Have a good day everyone.. isn't it great that we all have got eachother for love and support?! Love you guys :grouphug: xxxx
Hi girls!
As promised here I am lol
Kymmy did the docs give you an indication of what they found? I hope you recover quickly from the op..Archie was such a good boy for you, maybe he has a 6th sense? ;)
Hi Alison, yep I think it is going to be the story of our lives now. Im over being pi55ed at dh about sleep lol he is pretty hopeless with the no boobs situation but I do take advantage of the afternoons when dh comes home and entertains her. I get to have some good old fashioned shower time haha and sometimes I even get to finish dinner off lmao :rofl:
Hi Madame good on you for the weight loss :)
HI Ubba I know how you feel...busy much!? I cant get a spare moment, most of my days are accounted for, I get together with some friends on Mondays, MG on Tuesdays and then the rest of the week fills up pretty quickly.. And I only have one kid lol...I cant imagine how you do it.
Hi Telly!!!! I hope you and dh got that bf thing sorted. Isnt it crap when someone points out something after the fact? I get really upset if ppl think I have been rude or thoughtless intentionally...Sometimes I intend it tho hardie har...
Mon has Jose been found yet?
Afm, V is so cute, lots of cackling laughter, smiles and tears aswell lol. She is still in 000 and some stuff is still quite loose. I love her sooo much in the mornings I take her into bed with me or us and she giggles and talks and loves a cuddle...Later though she prefers to be facing out but still held, fussy little so and so and she is still very distressed when doing farts and sometimes poos which makes me question if something is wrong in her belly. I have given her gripe water a couple of times but not sure if it really does anthing..
XXX Love you ladies
Kymmy - Pretty much what natty said - have the drs said anything about what they actually found? I can only imagine your frustration, avoiding the hospital during the entire pregnancy, the birth, and having to go in now for a d&c.. :hug: So long as you and achie are healthy, thats all that matters. Thats very sweet that brit went and got you a pressie with her own money.. naw what a gorgeous girl. lol on the deoderant :lol: And yes.. we are all incredibly lucky to have eachother to talk to. I often recomment BB to friends, but i know they don't really take note. I just think every mum should join.. its such an incredible network of people.. so much love an support! From losing a baby :( , to having a baby :) ... ive shared so much with you guys, i just love you all! :grouphug:
natty - my bfing issue is not longer an issue. I havne't really thought much about it since all of you lovely ladies posted your thoughts. I told DH that it was making me get a complex, and he said not to worry, if i didn't think anything of it than it obviously wasn't anything to worry about in the first place. But yep, it aggrevates me when ppl bring up something afterwards, like why couldn't you say something at the time? dhead. V sounds like such a cutie. By the sounds of it Theo is a monter compared, but i suppose its better to have a big boy than a petite one. Theo is now wearing mostly 0's. Although some 00's still fit (but quite snuggly). Havent had him weighed in about 6 weeks... haha, i'm so much more relaxed the 2nd time! Must go and do it this week. I hope her belly isn't giving her too much pain, but she sounds like generally a happy baby - so maybe its nothing to worry about.
Alison - yeah i'm with natty, ive given up on the sleep ins! haha! just comes with being a mum i think. Dads have it too easy sometimes. In the meantime - cranking up the stereo sounds like a brilliant idea! haha!
Annyway, AFM not much happening. My house looks like a bomb has hit it, but i'm not really fussed! haha! went to playgroup today, one of the mums there started crying, saying that he DH is calling her a lardass and other horrible names, and she thinks he's going to cheat on her :( crap! What do you say to that?? i just gave her cuddles, and she cried.... didn't know what else to do. And as for the card too ladies, its not just me, everyone has to chip in their bit too, fowarding it on and what not. We all deserve a pat on the back. hehe.
Madame - hot mumma losing 1.6!!! And i TOTALLY agree with kymmy, gee you are a STUNNING woman! you look like you belong on a magazine cover - a natural beauty ;)
love you all
xx
Hey everyone
Kymmie glad it went well
Sorry I though I pressed send but obviously didn't he came home late yesterday arvo met some random ppl and was drinking and "smoking" I almost killed him so he's now living on the couch cos I'm to damn nice and his stuff is in the boys room and to keep me strong niesha is now in my bed with me and serenity is in her cot in my room lol
Still seperated and no dtd so I'm doing good I think in the long term we will work it out but I said were not getting back til we sort ourselves out and he deals with his debts and alcohol problems and learns to come home when he says he will and I will deal with things I think I need to....
It's been really nice having my sis here and we haven't killed each other yet lol
aaawwwwwwww:redface:
im blushing
kymmy and telly- is it a madame fanclub now? thanks girls. you're all too kind.
lost 1.6 yes, but put on 700g last week. we did manage to make 2 cute kiddies, hope little harper doesnt get my genetics- i have some what of a large behind and legs, poor girl. at least she looks a little more like me now, rather than my dh. tee hee hee- im cuter than he is :lol:
on the magazine shots- ill post a photo from our wedding album that is my favourite and actually looks like it should be a bill board
telly- you are a sweetheart in every way. too nice for your own good. there need to be more telly's in the world. :loveshower:
hows your ww going? theo in size 0's? wow! what a great bb mumma you are! tully is 19 months and in size1!!! hows that cutie kaili going??
kymmy- hope your dad is getting better. i hope you are feeling ok about all this hospy stuff. poor darlin, doing so well to avoid it all. i hope you get some answers soon and recover well. britt is a stunner and gets her sweetness from you too! what a cutie gift giver! maybe she was tryin to tell you something with the rexona :rofl:
oh and did i mention how much i love archie!!!!!! oh my is he cute! great pics on fb!
i love all my bb girls too:grouphug:
we laugh, cry, vent and look after each other. id love us to be able to meet up sometime, wouldnt that be amazing???????
mon- is everything ok??????
hi billy, snowy :hello:
natty- i just love all the pics of you and v- im never in any with my kiddies...im always hiding behind that big black slr taking them!
harper is in 000 too, and she has so much cute stuff we were given that im trying to put her in- its like dress ups every day. all dressed up and no where to go. she's in her sunday best and i have a crappy pair of trackys on, spew on my shoulder and panda eyes from not taking mascara off 3 days ago. stunning huh.....
she is super cute smiling and giggling too- even at 4 am...love it! she gets sooky if im not holding her too. dh doesnt get how i dont get much done during the day- he'd probably let her scream and do the friggin dishes, but i dontcare really.
ubba- oh i hear ya on the busy too. and i only have 2 kids! it is tough though, i think even with just one bubba!
afm- things have been a bit tense with dh and me- stress from work i think and im super emotional and usually take things the wrong way. its ok, just a bit crappy. everyone has it im sure. we are just havinh some staff issues and are in the country so its tough.
harper is just beautiful. she is such a happy smiley baby. shes talking, smiling, watching her hands, nearly rolling over :o sleeping well and feeding well too. i just lover her gorgeous little face. a bit unsettled tonight, but she was so tired and was fighting it. she screamed for an hour or so, wouldnt take boob, or rock to sleep or anything that usually settles her and i was like, how do people who have this all the time deal with it!
i was going nuts! i am so lucky. she rarely cries x
my little tully is just fabulous too. i just love him to bits. my heart melts when i hear "mama!" hes such a sweetie!
i love you girls so much, thanks for listening to my rubbish:loveshower:
x sarah x
Hi Girls!
Hi Mon - I'm glad Jose is ok, he sounds like he needs a few lessons in time management and consideration of others lol. Stick to your guns girl, he really needs to sort himself out, don't you give in! :)
Hi Madame - your photo on FB looks stunning, it does look like a Billboard ad, you should've entered that in one of those bridal magazine competitions! Harper is such a cutie by the way and Amelia is in 000's still too hee hee - she's started to chub up so not sure how much longer - it's more her length I'm worried about ha ha!
Hi Kymmy - are you feeling better today? I hope so xx
AFM - well, not sure if it was a fluke or Amelia's growth spurt is over for now but she went down at 10.00 pm and didn't wake up until 7.30 am today, yay! I gave her a bit more in her bottle last night and she took an extra 20 mls so I think her appetite has gone up a notch so will keep trying that. I figure if I overfeed her she'll throw it up as she never throws up and that's a good indication for me. I've been quite excited she's not a spewy baby, you watch, she'll be one when she's older which is when I DON'T want it, I have a phobia about vomit, although baby vomit doesn't bother me cause it's just milk anyway! Oh and I tried pumping a few times yesterday and I got absolutely nothing until 9.00 pm last night and even then it was only 10mls!!! You girls with lots of milk are so lucky, not sure what was going on yesterday but I'm starting to worry it's going completely. Will have to keep at it today and see how I go. Well, another day of 35 degrees, it's cooling down tomorrow - sounds weird as I love summer but I could handle a day of snuggling under a blanket cuddling Amelia.
Oh and can you believe it, we're all around the time we got pregnant, mine's coming up in the next week I think, I remember I ovulated on the 3rd March and I think I found out I was pregnant around the 15th or something. I have it on my fertility chart somewhere, will have to get it out and have a squiz. So in saying that, we have almost been "online" friends for 12 months! I wish we could all meet too, maybe one day. I love you guys too, let's be friends forever! :grouphug:
Good Morning Ladies!
Dear Madame (haha)
My ww is going ok.. haha. Nah its not that bad. My super bad week i dont think will end up that bad, i weighed myself this morning to see what the damage was, and im down 200 grams (mind you 200grams is the difference between a bowel movement, haha, so its probably nothing!) But i'm feeling so good. My clothes are loose on me, and i think my skin is looking nicer too :) I've even started getting my libido back! teehehe! Last weeks weigh in i was 85kg neat! :) Much better than a couple of months ago!
I know, my boobies must be doing a decent job i think! Mind you its really only some clothes that are 0 (like jumpsuits, body suits, overalls), other clothes are 00's (shorts and shirts), but he is definately turning into a little heffalump - hes just adorable, love him to bits!
Kaili is doing really well too, she is getting over a case of tonsilitis (sp), so has been pretty sooky the last week, but coming good now. I was looking at her last night, she was sitting on my lap having a cuddle, and gosh.... i was getting all sentimental! I can not believe how big she is getting, how clearly she talks and communicates... she is a real little girl now. She hasn't changed a bit in the face, still those gorgeous black eyes..but her body is growing! Actually she now even goes to the toilet completely by herself. Even if the attachment isn't on (to stop her from falling in, haha), she just hovers over it! its crazy! clever girl ;)
Wow your wedding photos are beautiful! I would love to see more! You guys definately look like you belong in a wedding magazine! Thats a bummer that you and hubby are having problems, must be so stressful owning your own business! When i worked in hospitality, staff was always an issue, they would just plow through so many employees. Not sure if its the same down south - but up here chefs don't seems to be the most reliable people! And neither do waitresses either! I hope you guys manage to find some perfect employees and get over this hurdle sooner rather than later :hug:
You kids are just perfect. You can definately tell that they're siblings, its just gorgeous. I love the photo of tully touching her nose, naw how sweet! I bet he's a great big brother! This morning Theo was lying on the bed, and i put Kaili's Makka Pakka toy in his arms, he was playing with it (kinda.. haha as much as they do), and Kaili cracked the biggest tanny!! haha! "FEO - ITS KAILI"S!" bahahaha. Oh how much she loves her makka pakka! So we might have to work on the whole 'sharing' thing!
ok, now typing one handed
alison - thats an awesome sleep from miss amelia! definately sounds like the little bit of extra milk helped her out. dont stress about not getting much milk when expressing, there is nothing wrong with formula, your beautiful girl is growing and is healthy, thats all that matters ;) I loved the photos of her with the flower behind her ear too... my golly gosh what a cutie!! And you're right, her lips are so kissable! hehe.
Wow i can't believe its been a year already! How quickly time as gone by. So glad i met up with all you ladies, best thing ever. It would be awesome if we could all meet up one day.. maybe it will happen, who knows!
Mon - I'm glad jose is safe and sound, grr id be cranky at him tho! how much stress he put you through.. I hope it all works out, and he sorts everything out. And thats great news that your sis and you are getting along well.. definatley a good thing! I think me and my sis would have killed eachother! haha!
Ohh talking of my sis too ladies, she got married on tuesday last week! :o And i found out through Facebook!!! hahahahaha!! She's holidaying in america atm, and her and her fiance got married by elvis, in las vegas!! how cool is that! :)
Okay, now that i've finished my novel, haha
i hope i haven't put you all to sleep!
lots of love
telly
gotta love a shotgun wedding! go elvis, much cheaper than mine i bet!
:loveshower: my cousin just had a baby girl! :loveshower:
Renae Amilia
Congrats to your cousin Telly!!!! And your Sis!!! How fun to be married by Elvis lol :)
Well you girls know how my awesomely expensive pram had to go in for a warranty fix??? I asked them to give us a loan pram that faced me just to see how V went...and she likes it lol..waaay better than ole forward facing cant see mummy pram! So it was a strider and I feel crap about spending even more money (sound familliar Alison? lol) so I ebayed one and got it for 99 bucks and I picked it up yesterday from in the Blue Mountains (half hour away). I have scrubbed it all up and washed the material and it looks good! So now I have 2 massive prams lo, it would have been better if the second one was smaller but the strider actually fits in my boot better than ole front facer..dammnit...Now I have to decide if I will sell the front facer but it will be at a loss or just store it and use it as our later on pram (Its reeealy good for running with and the strider is definately just a walking on cement type pram compared....) What to do... Im so excited I have packed it ready to go so V and I can g walking today, I really want her to be okay in it you know...The first day we had the loaner she was in it for a few hours while we went to a big shopping centre, dh and I couldnt believe it lol.
V slept 11 hours the night before last then last night was up twice to pay me back! She is soooo cute I just have to kiss her little face all the time and she laughs when I pretend to munch on her..Bath times are heaps of fun now she is big enough to sit in the little moulded bit and have a good kick around, she always stares at my watch and engagement ring, lol expensive taste already! DH thinks its funny she likes diamonds already haha
oops gtg V is awake and we are going walking!!!
XXX Natty
Hello Ladies!!
Guess what?! It is 1 year to the day that Archie was conceived !!!!! I know exactly when it happened as DH was working away at the time........... And that was the day the post man personally delivered my mail....... hahahahahahahaha! So, in a sense it is Archie's first birthday! Might have to have a cake! (any excuse for cake)
Congrats on your new neice Telly!! I bet Theo will look giant next to a newborn! He really is a big boy isn't he!!? Good cow, Telly! haha! I am going to get Archie weighed on Thursday. He is in 00's comfortably. I love them at this age cos they are not so 'fragile' and are so much more human-like! haha!
Thats awesome your sis got married by Elvis! That is what we were going to do!! But i didn't want to go to Vegas pregnant.... I wanna be able to run amok when i go!!
How cute is Kaili!?? FEO!!!! hahahaha! Adorable! She really is a gorgeous girl!!
Alison: Go Amelia! What a good sleeper you have! She is such a beautiful girl!
Sarah: Your photos are just gorgeous!!! You should be a model! I know you were saying that you think you're a bit overweight but you should consider yourself lucky cos you can always change your body (diet, exercise, plastic surgery (hahaha)) but you can't change your face and your face is just STUNNING! And i'm not saying your body isn't cos i haven't seen it!!! Imagine having an ugly face that you could do nothing about!!
I LOVE my Archie too!! He is such an amazing little man! I was just saying to DH that we are so lucky to have him as he is such an awesome baby! I think we are going to start trying for another one very soon...... watch this space!!!
And about the rexona, it is funny you should say that cos a few weeks ago i was complaining that my deodorant doesn't work anymore (either that or i am getting festy in my old age...) so obviously she thought she'd spoil me with a different brand (in hopes i would stop stinkin!!).. But seriously, has anyone else found that deodorant just doesn't work like it used to??........anyone?.....haha!
Things have been a little tense for me and my DH too... having a baby is a big change for the relationship and it's like we just don't have much time for eachother now! It's all about Archie at the moment cos he is still so little. I actually MISS him!! Even though he hasn't really been away, i miss him. And it is just cos things aren't like what they used to be like. I think you just have to learn to make time for eachother, well that is what i am going to start doing anyway. And you guys have so much extra stress with running the business too so no wonder things are a bit tense..
Harper and Tully are gorgeous Sarah, just beautiful! I can just imagine what Tully is like (in real life!) just from looking at his pics!! Wouldn't it be awesome if we could all meet up one day!!!!??? I'm in.....
Mon: Good luck with Jose... I hope you stay strong, for you. You deserve more than that gorgeous girl.....
AFM: My dad has Golden Staph! His leg is in a pretty bad way and he has to have some of the dead skin cut away! He will be in hossy for another 2 weeks and has to have an IV line with antibiotics to his heart for 6 weeks!!! He is feeling alot better though so that is a good thing. They have moved him to a different hospital though which is about an hour away which sucks but it is better equipped for this kind of thing.
I have to go! Brit is waiting for me to iron her uniform..... doesn't she know how to do that by herself yet??!! GOSHHHHHHHH!!! hahahaahahahaah! I am such a good mother........
Love you all
x
Hi Telly - yay for your sis, that's so cool good on her!!! Like Madame said, way cheaper than most weddings I'm sure - we did ours fairly cheap compared to some and still spent close to $15,000. ha ha. And congrats to your cousin, lovely name, Amilia is a bit different to Amelia, cute.
Hi Natty - lol, you don't have to justify yourself to me, I'm the queen of changing my mind - truth be known I actually have 4 prams! lol My mum got a second hand one to keep down at her place, I have my original pram that's down at our holiday house now and I also have an antique 1973 Silver Cross carriage built pram that I bought a year ago for quite a bit of dosh and haven't even used it lol! Don't you just love the Strider?! Which one did you get, did you get Strider DLX?? I think that's the only one that you can't turn the carriage around on - one of them does anyway. I just love my pram and love the fact Amelia can face me, I wouldn't have bought a pram any other way, hence why I didn't get a 3 wheeler Phil & Teds. At least with this I can turn her around when she gets older - my Strider Plus collapses like a dream and is so lovely to push, you probably couldn't go offroad in it although I did run it through some sandy terrain a couple of weeks ago and it was fine but it's lovely to push for walking and nice and high etc. You got a bargain mate don't worry it's all good - mine cost $700! :o
Had another great night, 10 hours again last night, hoping the growth spurt is over. Booked in for some photos for a few weeks time too, the people that did the hospital pics called, they are going to do some Anne Geddes type shots with roses etc., can't wait!
Anyway best run and get some breakkie....might have to change a pooey nappy first, can hear some grunting going on over there!
Have a great day everyone.
Hi Kymmy - just quickly as we posted same time, OMG it's 12 months to the day Amelia was conceived too as we were charting....well, today was the day I ovulated so I guess it could've been today or tomorrow! Isn't it unbelievable, 12 months!!!!! How fast has that gone. Anyway, gotta go finish my cereal, will read the rest of your post now. ha ha Oh and OMG re your dad, I had golden staph when in labour, it's very serious!!!! They told me I was lucky Amelia survived, not to mention myself!!!! Lucky they caught it in time mate, I can sympathise with him there and wishing him a speedy recovery. xx
Hey all... I still haven't dtd hehe yay me that's about as strong as I get why am I so damn nice lol
Serenity has started kinda rolling when asleep lol we put her in on her back and she ends up basically on her tummy excepther bottom arm is stuck so she doesn't quite get over it lol hope u understand
Serenity has started sleeping til 5:40 most mornings now which is good cos that's the time the others are up
Malachi is giving me so much greif and is fighting every morning about going to school,
Hi Girls - well what a fabulous day, I met up with the BB girls from the December forum (remembering I'm in both) it was so great, us Perth girls here should do the same, it's quite surreal meeting in person! Had a lovely time.
After I got home I got a text from another friend reminding me that we were meeting for a walk so I was only home half an hour and had to go out again but it was only 5 minutes down the road. We went for a lovely hour walk along the coastal path with our bubs, was a bit scary dragging my shorts out and they only just fit - obviously need to continue those walks then! You don't realise how fat you've got until you try your old clothes on, I used to play tennis at lunch time in those shorts right up until I got pregnant and they were loose on me then! :redface:
Anyway, Amelia is fast asleep now, she's pooped after today so hopefully she'll give me another good night.
Hope everyone else is well. xx
Hello Girls..
I feel like cr*p today... I am really stressed out about my dad and DH is not being very understanding. I hate men.
Not true but it's just so hard sometimes... we are so goddamn different!
My dad is getting better but i think it finally all hit me last night, with him and with my stuff going on and i had a bit of a breakdown.. DH says that i always think the worst and thinks i shouldn't stress so much. Probably true, but i can't help it.
This has just made me realise how easy it is for things to go wrong (health wise)... Dad could have easily (and still could if it doesn't continue to get better) lose his foot and that would be just awful!
Sorry for the poor me post. Just feel like i'm having a bit of a breakdown.. this year seems to be going pretty sh*tty so far and i just want things to get better.
Love you guys x x x
Hi Kymmy - poor girl.......yep, men suck sometimes, they don't think like us mate so just ignore him for now. I can understand how you feel, especially with everything going on for you. I feel for your dad too, people don't realise how serious golden staph is and coming from me who had it while in labour it does hit you how serious when you sit down and think. I very nearly lost Amelia and could've been very ill myself had the doctor not got to it as quickly as he did and thank goodness the antibiotics worked as sometimes the bacteria is resistent to the drugs. I too found people didn't really "get" it when I told them. Anyway, from one staph victim to another I really do wish him a speedy recovery. And :hug: to you, things will get better, I know it's not a good start but they say it comes in threes - Britt's horse, your D&C and your dad so that should be it now and it's up from here! xx
Sooooo tired ok so I was a lil naughty last night but still no dtd but I did let him do me a favour lol sorry if that's tmi hehehehe it still counts as punishment ...
Visiting my grand parents today and my grandma was cranky with jose til I actually explained I can't really be that made cos on Friday I did actually tell him not to bother coming home so he didn't so she said to save hitting him with a stick til next time ge does it lmao
Changed my avvy slightly to remind me not to dtd (cause that's about as sting as I can hold out as I'm a softy for cuddles) til he pays his debts and stops going to the Morley ale house which I told him will take a few months.
Kymmie I agree just ignore him lol sounds like a very lucky man ur dad hope he keeps getting better
Alison we so should!!!!
Hi Mon - you make me laugh lol. You stick to your guns, I'm sure you can find yourself someone else to do you favours :lol: if you really need to.
AFM - right, my moan for the day, got my letter from the Govt, I qualified for the baby bonus which I wasn't sure I would but I don't qualify for the family tax benefit payment, as scummy as it is anyway! What irks me is that I've been paying taxes for 21 years now (yes I've been working since I was 16) and they have no problem giving it to people who waste it on drugs and big screen tvs (lol) but oh no I can't have it because we earn too much. Well, my husband has his own business and every year is different and hello I'm not working now so have NO income. I'd rather them give it to me so I can donate it to charity or the RSPCA or something then give it to someone who doesn't use it properly. Sorry, just my vent. They can keep their payment and shove it up their clackers! lol
On a brighter note, I just walked to the shops instead of drove and I nearly died, it took me an hour and I'm stuffed - the hills killed me, lucky I had the pram to hold me up ha ha. It was hotter than I thought too, oh well, great exercise and heaven knows I need it! Mothers group at the park across the road this arvy so don't have to go far.
Hope everyone's having a good one, sounds like Mon has been :rofl: xx
Lol Alison hehehe. I can't help myself as I always say he's a moron but hrs my moron
OMG I am so pzzzed off dh is TIRED...complained last night that he just hasnt stopped since he got home!!!! Might get him some cheese with his whine.
Hope everyone is well, Im so busy, V has been waking a lot during the nights.
xx Natty
Hi Natty - I get that some times too, but I also get him coming home and falling asleep on the couch straight away and then complaining he's tired from "working" - as if looking after a baby isn't work. grrrrrrr
Amelia slept from 10.30 pm to 8.30 am without waking last night, didn't really sleep muchyesterday though so that's why, I prefer it like that though. Every day's a little different isn't it!!!!!
bahahahahah natty! hilarious! oh you crack me up!:ROFL::
Hi everyone....have been quickly reading bit no time to post...Abbey has been a nightmare since last Sat night when I went to that party I mentioned....waking up ALL night....Sun night I was up no less than 6 times and it was terrible....she just won't settle properly and Im worried that she won't be go back to being good again....
DH's suck sometimes and Ive had my issues lately but will vent later when Im not typing on my Ipod....it's hard!!!
Glad everyones well and send some sleep this way please!!
Sorry about that short crappy post above….have been attached to my Ipod while Abbey is attached to me 24/7 and I couldn’t do a long post on that as I hit the wrong keys all the time and I get too mad at it!!!
Natty – I totally get it!!! Looking after 2 babies, the house, cooking etc isn’t a job at all is it??? Dimwits. When we first moved back here I went back to work when JD was 6 months old and DH stayed home with him…..jesus….I was working full time AND having to clean up the entire place when I got home in the afternoon, cook tea, wash, iron and all the rest of it….he did NOTHING! For some reason if he is looking after the kid (s) nothing else at all can get done….not even a bottle taken out to the sink to be rinsed….used to make me absolutely wild when I came to that…..now when I whinge about something to do with ‘staying at home’ I get the whole, Oh I did that….yeah, well you did it with 1 kid and you didn’t do squat when you were at home so it’s completely different to now Mister!!!
Sorry about that….obviously have some anger issues there!!!
Heavenly – Don’t DTD…..you cant anyway – you have too many kidlets to look after!!!! God, DH is lucky to get anything once a week at the moment….lucky to get hello half the time!!!
Alison – Damn right about the Govt and their stupid money….we get squat all and we are both admin workers – hardly a freaking surgeon or something like that!! How can we not qualify for any $$$$??? Drives me nuts and with DH working 2 jobs its too hard to predict what he’s going to earn anyway so I just leave it all til tax time and claim it back then in a lump sum…..absolutely sux. You do the right thing – buy a house, have kids when you are in a stable relationship, WANT to work, have no freakin debt and what do you get? Nada!!
Kimmy – Sorry to hear about your dad, I hope he gets better really soon….not a nice situation and it has been a rough time for you….things will get better I’m sure and you have that beautiful baby boy to keep you smiling!
Hi to everyone else that I haven’t persied!!!
AFM – Well, things have been pretty crap and you can probably guess that from my attitude at the moment….Abbey has been shocking since Sat night….I left her and JD with mum while I went to my BF’s 30th and it was a mess….JD was being a nutcase and tearing around the house and then Abbey was screaming and carrying on so I came home at around 8:30 to give her a feed to try and settle her so I got her to sleep and then JD settled down so all was OK. She called at about midnight and Abbey had woken up so DH went home and I was pooped so followed soon after….just cant party anymore….so since then she has been off her rocker. NEVER ever settling at night….like I said at least 6 times on Sun night so I gave up and slept with her attached to my boob from about 5am for an hour or so….has been the same since then except for last night when it was only about twice then I fell asleep on the lounge feeding her…I hate it….she has been really windy lately and distressing her so that’s probably it….
DH’s sister and her husband are here at the moment and they don’t have kids and I think they think I have the most boring life ever…they keep asking don’t you get lonely at home during the day? Does she always feed that much? Doesn’t she sleep in her cot?? Freak!! Just leave me alone, I’m trying to deal with it the best I can!! And no I’m not bored…this is my life now and I like just sitting around with my kids and staying in my jimmies all day!!! God I hate visitors sometimes….I hate having to wear a bra 24/7 the most!!!
Better go, sorry for the rant and hope you are all going well!!
xoxoxooxox
Jdsmum that sounds really sucky I know how you feel now my sis and her bf moved in I can't walk around nudie lol,
Alison yay on the big sleep I think somethings up with serenity she's been quite whingy lately
Natty hugs
Hi everyone else hope is well
Jdsmum I know how you feel my comp charger broke again so I've been on my iPhone for the last month or so that's why my post sometimes have really bad spelling
I didn't dtd last night I know I'm crazy but we used to do it atleast a couple times a week if not every day and have been since not long after s was born it's just the way I am lol
Feeling very tired do gonna have a nap
hi monica thanks x x Shayna i could have written that post myself. including that i am on my phone i so hope it gets better for us both really soon .. x
Hi Shayna - I'm sorry Abbey hasn't been sleeping well, wonder week perhaps? This is just a quicky as DH has just gone home after being away for 2 days so I'm going to go have a loooooooooong shower. But on the subject of the govt money, you are so right! This girl I know who I talk about a lot, the one who posted the video of her baby apparently crawling at 1 week.....well she's just told me they are "only" getting $65.00 a week and it's not much so I shouldn't let it worry me.....I just wrote back furiously saying, that's $250 a month, I get $0!!!! Honestly people, how is she getting that much? Her husband earns over $100,000 a year! I hope she fudged the forms and gets busted. The mother's group girl is renting and they are young and have not much money said she's only getting $42.00 a fortnight!
God I'm a b*tch.
Will get back on later when I have time. Hugs to all and sending some sleeping your way Shayna - hope it works! xx
Alison you should dob her in
Hi girls,
Im still here - Just been so busy with my course and being a mum etc..... I tried posting last night but it didnt work grrrrrr and it was a long one too........
We had a big storm here today, luckily no flooding like some of the state suffered just alot of rain thunder and lightening.
Ruby hasnt been sleeping, ha, whats new? its 10.15pm and she has just woken up, wide eyed and ready to go!! Im going to try her on some formula tonight. Ill let you know how it all goes.
Love to you all xxx
Hey ladies,
just a quickie to tell ya'll that i've been reading the 'no cry sleep solution', and am absolutely LOVING it! Everything she writes is really great! highly recommend it!
For those who can't afford it, or dont have time to read.
The biggest tip i've taken from it so far is not to let theo fall asleep on the boob.
it says when he gets sleepy, and his sucks really reduce, you can tell he's about to drift off - to carefully take the nipple out of his mouth. If he starts to fuss, give it back to him. Then try again when he is sleepy once more. If he fusses - give it back to him. then repeat, repeat, repeat - until he falls asleep without nipple in his mouth.
Because apparently (and it makes sense), when they fall asleep with the nipple, or the bottle in their mouths, when they start to slightly stir during the night, the first thing they look for is the nipple to suck on. and surprise! its gone! haha. So they wake up completely. where as when they fall asleep without the nipple, they stir, but they don't wake. makes sense right?
But anyway, i'm finding the book GREAT! I've started to adopt some of her theories today, will let you know it they start to work. Cause ATM Theo is waking about 4/5 times during the night, its driving me INSANE! (So natty and JDs mum - i know how ya'll feel!)
Ubba good luck with the formula! Hope she drinks it! :p
Shayna :hug: Inlaws.. i hate em too, haha!
natty - cheese with that wine!! bahahaha, you crack me up!
Ali - we dont claim for FTB and just recieve it at the end of the financial year (if we qualified). It scares me the thought of being paid something i'm not entitled to, and then going to jail or something scary! haha! But last year we ended up getting $1600 bucks with our tax return!! hell yea! :)
xx
Ok so the formula didnt work - she didnt want it! Thats ok though, I sort've hoped she didnt like it so I breastfed her to sleep - why didnt I read your post first Telly????
I sort've do a 'no cry' way of parenting, when she stirs and starts to cry we get to her strait away so she doesnt get too upset. My mum has been staying with me while DH and DS have gone camping, and she keeps having digs at me for not letting her cry long. I mentioned at one stage (in a sleep deprived hissy fit) that I am going to book into sleep school. Now all I hear from Mum is "the sooner you get into sleep school the better, they will get her into a routine and teach you to let her cry before you go into her" I said I dont want to do controlled crying and explained my reasons and showed her that article I linked the other week, she just doesnt get that I am parenting differently than she did. Sometimes makes me wonder if maybe the way she parented when I was a young kid is why I cant handle alot of her now?? We often have heated arguments over parenting.
Last night Ruby was sitting on my lap while I was eating dinner and she was opening her mouth. Mum suggested that I give her rice cereal! I said no way, wont be until 4 months at least and the recommended age is 6 months. She said "pffftt, you kids all got rice cereal when you were 3 months, she'll be fine".
Wow, wasnt expecting to vent - I do feel a bit better now! Well it's almost midnight so I better go to bed. Nighty night sleep tight xxx
Vent away, sorry guys reading but CBF posting ATM
Hey ladies..
Ubba: :hug: We do the same with Archie, the minute he starts stirring we know what he wants so we just give it to him, happy baby = happy mummy! You are doing the right thing. And re solids, i am reading a book called "Baby-Led Weaning" by Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett. I highly recommend it. It says NEVER to give a baby solids under six months as thier digestive systems are really too immature and it can create allergies to food. Breastmilk is WAAAAYYYYY more nutritious and filling than any rice cereal or half a carrot or pumpkin will ever be.. so stick to your guns!! Archie is also going through a bit of a change with sleeping.. he is sleeping less and is not as happy to just lay around on his play mat or in the pram.. he likes to be up looking around, checking things out. I took him up to the horses with me yesterday and he loved them! It was so cute.. he was kicking his legs and cooing and getting all excited!
I hope Ruby snaps back into some kind of sleeping routine... We have never had a routine! At all! Whatsoever! We just go with the flow and things are different everyday!
:hug: :hug: :hug:
Telly: I might just order myself that book! Like i said above, that BLW book is great too!! Archie sounds the same with his sleeping as Theo. But as we mostly co-sleep i don't really mind.. but one of these days that is going to have to stop!
Alison: :hug: :hug: You are a beautiful girl.. That is my theory too... bad things come in threes so i should be off the hook now...?... haha.. except i've just been sick for the last two days! AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH! When will it end!? Do you know which antibiotics worked for you? My dad is on his fourth different lot!!!
Mon: I'm the same with DTD.. Can't get enough! Hope things are getting better with Jose and Serenity's sleeping xx
Natty: :hug: MMmmmmmmMMmm Cheese, MMmmmMMMMmmmmm Wine..... hahahahha! Hope you 'slapped him upside the head' (spoken in a black american accent, for effect..haha) Hope V is sleeping a bit better too xxx
Shayna: haha!I hate having to wear a bra too! You crack me up! Hope Abbey is sleeping better and JD isn't trashing things too often! :hug:
Hello everyone else!
AFM: What a sh*t week!!!! I have been as sick as a dog..it started with me not being able to breathe properly (anxiety i think) then I started throwing up on Friday and still feel pretty crappy today. Got DH to get me a second lot of antibiotics (after D&C) just in case i had an infection. I think i may have some sort of urinary tract infection as my kidneys are aching and my pee is really dark... My boobies feel quite empty too so i am trying real hard to drink heaps of water. I have lost about 4kgs this week, forget weight watchers ladies... just fast for a d&c for 24hrs then get sick and throw up for another 24hrs and bob's your uncle!!! Am about 51kg now. Don't feel good about it though, was hoping to stay at about 55kg as i feel scrawny!
My dad has had his second op. The Dr is really happy with how his foot is looking and they think he will get to keep it. That is great news but i am still so scared for him. He is seriously OVER being in hospital and now they've moved him further away from home too which sucks. Anyway, it is all going to get better from here... can't get much bloody worse can it!!!!?????
Well i better go and have a shower and go pick Brit up from mums, she had a sleepover last night. Hope you have a great Sunday
xxxx
Hahaha thats a whole lotta :hug:
Here is one more for good luck :hug:
x
:hello: :hug: to all
Got a velcro baby here. Typing standing up while bouncing - does that count as exercise? 'cause thats about all I get apart from pushing a pram or trolley at the shops. I did brave taking both boys to the supermarket on my own for the first time on Friday so there was an extra 14kg weight of DS1 this time.
Mr I was a bit hot yesterday, but seems normal temp now, but doesn't want to be put down. Been that way on & off for the last 3 days.
Kym - I was thinking of getting that BLW book if you think its good I'll order it. I work on the go with the flow theory too
Ubba - maybe you need to say to your Mum that how you parent isn't a judgement on how she parented :dunno:
My back is killing so I'll go. Hi to everyone.
