Hello beautiful ladies!
I have a baby who sleeps 1 hr at a time so finding it hard to jump on here! But I really do miss you all!
Solids:( are started. I dont believe before 6months is great, their little insides cant take it. In saying that Lucy has started!!!! Still breastfeeding, that wont stop for a looooooooooooonnnnggg time yet;)
Annabelle 1st tried at 6months but didn't really eat solids till 10months sooooo I was thrown by Lucy eating so well:(
Mchn suggested it, I giggled at her, buuut she was correct!
I also think Lucy is full on teething! No sleep, sad lots etc nooooooooo teething is HELL!
How all is well, those going back to work:o you're gamer then me! Id be ****ting myself! haha
What did you ladies do before having babies?
Rach2281- How's your mum?
fi- How do you go breastfeeding while working?

Kass: its not soo much a "being game enoigh to go back to work" lol its somethign we have to do and is unavoidable :( trust me theres nothing i want more in this world than to be a SAHM, but its not gonna happen with this baby :( (hopefully by the next one we'll be a little more financially able to)
in saying that im lookng forward to working, got to look at the positive stuff, i LOVE the girls i work with and its gonna be good to break up the days plus DD will love spending time with Nan and Gramps and vice versa.
Alissa is so soo sooky :( i think she is teething too.. but i cant see anything which doesnt mean they arent there i know, her others happened soo fast i wasnt even ready for it lol.
BVut she's a little off her food ( i still dont do full on solids yet) once a day maybe sometimes not even. depending on her mood usually.
Hope everyone is good :)

Breaks my heart thinking you really want to stay home with your princess. I really didn't mean to make you feel bad:(
Having time with her grand parents is AMAZINGLY great for her:) My grandparents pretty much raised me as my parents worked sooooooo much. haha I had a french accent as my grandmother tought me how to speak, and she's french haha
Whats the job you'll be going back to? Full time?

Hi Girls
It's nice to have some activity in here again!
Sounds like there's a lot of teething going on at the moment :lol: Leila is cutting her first tooth at the moment and she's been rather sooky so I feel for you all.
Stevie, glad you are feeling positive about going back to work. I feel for you though, I have really struggled. Mind you I think I just went back to too early. I don't know why I went back so early - a combination of things really. Financial reasons of course but in hindsight I could have stretched my leave out for longer. Because I have always been quite driven I also thought that being a full time SAHM wouldn't agree with me and that I would miss the intellectual stimulation of work and adult company. It's almost funny to think that that's how my mind used to work! Now I'm in a state of almost permanent conflict and am struggling to do everything as well as I would like. It's slowly getting easier though.... slowly slowly
DM I do marketing and corodinate training & development for our national sales force so a bit of a mix of things. Thing is marketing isn't even my bag! I just kind of fell into this job, I have a degree in business with majors in management and human resources and that is where I would rather be so I can see myself looking around for something different in the not too distant future.
Breastfeeding while working is going well. Leila will have 3 bottles while at child care but when i'm at work i'll take 2 lactation breaks and express enough in that time for 3 feeds ready for the next time she goes to child care. Work are happy with this arrangement and its no big deal it only takes me 15-20 minutes to express.
We have started solids too. At first i was a bit unsure and almost gave up on it as I thought she wasn't really into it but then I stopped mixing farex in with everything and realised she actually loves food - just hates farex!:lol:
Leila is almost crawling! she gets up on her knees and rocks herself backwards & forwards and sometimes moves backwards. She sits up quite well now too so she is doing really well - very strong and very determined.
Big hello to everyone else, hope you are all well. I look forward to hearing how all the little ones are doing.

sorry I have been MIA....had a ball in brisbane love love Ikea :lol: OH I could have spent a fortune, we will be heading back down to Ikea when our extension is finished going to get the storage system for the kids toys :dance:
Luke is now rolling both ways and attempting to crawl well he moves like crazy if anyone wants to see some you tube footage let me know, he is so cute... loves his toys now, is also teething but no teeth yet which is weird for us as jack was onto #3 and #4 by now... well I suppoise Jack had to beat him at something :lol:
other than that not much else, getting ready for our big holiday which at one stage looked like it was off but all being well is back on :dance: we head to brisbane on the 17th, jase flies out to melbourne on the 19th and back in on the 22nd depending what time he gets in on the thursday will help us decide whether to hit the road thurs or fri, Dubbo is our first major stop :)
hope to catch up with a few girls in brisbane ABW :)

Hi all - been super busy but just popping on.
DS is/has :
* barely rolling, but he is rolling from his back to his side or from his side to his back, which I don't mind
* been on solids since 4 months, but full time since a week before 5 months. His favourite foods have been Apples and Pears and his favourite combo has been Apple and Mango. He doesn't like any vegetables as I've tried a 'Chicken Noodle and Veggie' jar and he refused to eat it (kept his mouth closed)
* got the tip of a tooth at the front of his mouth
* sleeping better (although I'm not) and am afraid that when he starts the full on teething that the good sleeping will be gone
* happily standing up on my legs (with support - still can't do it without right now)
* loving eating his feet!
* plays with himself while changing him :redface:
* either laughing, smiling, sulking or crying - never anything in between!

Awesome LJ sounds like William is doing really well :clap:
-
Fi- Well done still feeding! You make it sound so easy haha. Though I fed/feed my girls I never had a 'freat' supply, just enough to feed them, when they wanted a feed.
Lj- William sounds like he's growing nicely:) Rolling mosre then Lucy! Typical boy not eating his vegies!! haha
My girls arn't good teethers BUT some babies cruze right through it! You may be a lucky one;)
Lucy is growing beautifully :) She's a sooky little mamas girl but I love it haha
Those of you who have me in fb (I think thats everyone) would have seen my photos that I got done. You can see her in those:)
-
:hello: ladies
How are we all? i though that while ihave a spare few minutes i hould probably do a decent post lol.
Fi: so good to hear your bfing while at work is going well, i know that something i worried about before i had to go back, thats actually part of the reason i stopped bfing Leila sounds like a very clever chcken, getting up on her knees like that :) Solids for us is still hit and miss, its a little more fiddley than i expected lol.
LJ: :dance: GO WILLIAM!! he's such a clever lil man!!Its soo good to hear that he;s sleeping better, i know that your still having trouble sleeping but at least you can still rest while he's sleeping
Rach75: Hope you have fun on your holiday, and when the time gets closer and your in brisvegas ill have to see where im at, coz i would really love for us to all meet up
Kass: I have seen your pics and Lucy is gorgeous!! Ilove the lil bows you stick in her hair. Miss A has no hair either lol. i never dress her up tho :( its too hot up here, i put on some nice clothes and then strip her down to her singlet. hehe.
AFM, well as most of you know im back at work. i am seriously LOVING it. and this makes me feel guilty, coz i love my girl and i love being a mum more than anything. At work i get to be 'Stevie' again, and its kinda nice Jon doesnt want me to work, he kept telling me this week when he was home that he wishes that i didnt have to work, he wants me to be able to stay home and be a mum and house wife. but we just cant afford it. But when we have #2 i will hopefully be able to take at least 12 months off to be a mum.. whoknows by then jon might earn enough that i wont need to work at all :) in 12 months this could be a possibility :) Jon said to me yesterdday when i got home from my first day beck, that he didnt think she would be so full on. he said that it wasnt that she was crying or anything but you have o focus 100% attention on her, he said he kept thinking of all these things that he needed to do and that he could be doing if he wasnt watching her. i told hiom now he knows where im coming fro when i tell him that i couldnt get something done, and i really think he understands alot better now. wgich will be really good.
Other than working, everythuing has been pretty borring lol.
Alissa now rolls over so quickly and easy from front to back or back to front, she wriggles herself along the ground, tonight i was heating up some dinner for myself and she was on her play mat, the dogs bed is next to her play matt, and when i walked back into the loungeroom having been gone like 30 seconds (if that( she was up and half in his bed LOL.. she LOVES milo and he's soo good with her. Obviously im still really carefull and dont leave them alone together andall that jazz but its just amazing, you casn see this bond being made between them before our eyes.. its beautiful :)
imust go, i have some bottles to clean, and some fruit to chop up, im going to be tryng Alissa on water melon tomorrow :)
Much love
xx

sounds like Miss Alissa is moving and grooving as much as Luke now,
my problem isn't the dog bed but Jacks toys, how do you explain to a 3 yr old all his toys need to be put away when Luke is away *sigh* we have tried to explain that his chubbies ( for thos that dont know a brand of cars and planes) soft rubber ones can stay out but not his matchbox cars *sigh* oh well......
Stevie I think Amber is trying to organise something for when I am downn there which is 20/21 april that I am free free no hubby just me and boys.....I hope we can try to do something...
well poor luke has turned into a spewy baby again 3-4 outfits for him 2-3 tops for me the last few days *sigh* so I have upped the thickener in his formula and today when I am more awake shall pull out the #3 teats and wash/sterilize them and see how he goes with the thicker formula and faster teat........he is teething something shocking his little gums are so white, I know I have Jack but I never knew teething could be so messy :lol: jack seriously would sleep extra and wake up with teeth he never droooled or needed pain releif...
anyway wontbe on much this weekend due to Jase being home so have a good easter be safe on the roads if your travelling
