New post for any crafty ladies: https://hollybobb.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-make-no-sew-cushion-with.html

(thought it better to post here than fb, as its a bit quieter)

 

[Mom 2B]

Hey ladies. Thought I check in here as fb is driving me crazy with missing comments and most of my posts won't go through. Not sure if it fb or that I'm using my phone. But anyways glad to see some of us are still in here.
I've been having an awful week. I had flu on thurs/fri last week and my Tessa has been sick since Saturday. I've been trying to keep Quinn away from her as he is not suppose to be around sick ppl because he can't fight infections well. Oh Quinn goes to see specialist next week. I can't wait to see what the dr says.
Anyways I'm getti g really fed up with oh lately, but I'm an idiot and don't say anything. He barely helps me out. He has been putting Tessa to bed most nights because I'm feeding Quinn but other than that he dosnt do much of anything....especially helping with the house which is a complete disaster after the week I've had. I hate being a single mom of 2 kids while he sits on the damn computer all night. K I better stop now before I just rant on and on for hours

Hey I would love to do another meet up!! xx

 

[mum2be2011]

Me too, so far I've only met the lovely Leanne with Toby and Tracy with Holly. Will be nice to meet with the rest of the northern ladies. Has anyone heard from Susie? Is she back from her mums?

 

[jojo-m]

Someone suggest a meet up date! Was rubbish missed last one I'll def be there for next!

My husband is driving me mad! He keeps commenting on every little thing I eat and making comments about my weight. Now don't get me wrong he's not saying I'm disgusting just he reckons I go on about losing weight then eat crap. Just makes me want to stuff my face with cream buns and tell him to p**s right off! That or karate chop him in his bits! X

I shouldnt Jo but at karate chopping Paul in his bits. All men are the same unfortunately us women say we want to loose weight and then because we are having a crap day we eat chocolate or comfort food. I think they have an in built 'p**s OH off' button as Luke has this down to a fine art.

We are both on a healthy eating low fat diet for our wedding and because im breastfeeding Hayley im allowed an extra 250-500 calories a day to keep my milk supply going. I told Luke that it means I can still eat a chocolate bar and not go over the calories, he replied with Im a bloke so I get more calories he really doesnt get 'your on a diet' I give up

With regards to the meet I didnt realise the kids go back to school in between the royal wedding and Easter so when I said you would have corey i some how forgot/skipped over the fact there is a couple of days at the end of April We can do anytime, I will be driving so as long as I am able to drop Phoebe at 'school' and pick her up by 6 we're good. Are you able to do the Tuesday in between Easter and the Royal wedding or will you be getting things ready for your holiday whilst Corey is at school?

 

[Fraggles]

Jo you have a great figure, get karate chopping

 

[jms895]

Jo you look fab! Dont let him bother you

I havent stopped eating all day and prob gained back a few pound i lost

Alex had his jabs. Been screaming most of the night but he is finally asleep!

 

[smiffy85]

Would that be the 26th april that tuesday rachael? And lol at Luke still moaning. You enjoy your chocolate bars hun you deserve them with all the stuff going on right now and you look great anyway. I am sure you'll look drop dead gorgeous on you special day!

Jade don't worry about the pounds love. You're doing an awesome job and you looked great to me when I met up with you. When your stressed out, specially with alex having his jabs and feeling down in general, comfort eating is the best thing. Always cheers me up lol! Hugs!

Jo how dare your hubby hint like that!! I agree that your figure is great and you didn't look like you needed to lose any when we met. I know everyone has their own individual ideas about what they want to look like/weigh but you look fine to me!

I think us women are strong and can lose the weight if and when we want to. I haven't even started trying yet but I know I have done it before so will do it again if and when I put my mind to it! Ok enough with the empowering women speeches lol!!

I have decided that Toby sleeps better on his tummy and now will be for the forseeable future. Had much less grizzlin over night although he is still waking me up before he wants his bottle and after but only very briefly and just wanting his dummy or a little head stroke to soothe him back off. Being on his tummy also means his arms can't flail around and wake him up or hit out at the basket and wake me up! Much happier and getting little 2-3 hours chunks again now, not like the 1 hours wake ups at the beginning of the week.

Right I best go get dressed and clean up as I am hosting the nct meet up this week at my house and toby is sleeping again Looking forward to some mummy and baby time!! Hope you're all ok and had good nights all round!!

[jms895]

Thanks hun! Have a good weekend. You look so slim Leanne!

Jo - hope Corey has a wonderful birthday

Alex slept 8 hours straight for the first time last night

 

[smiffy85]

Woohoo for sleep! I got 12 - 7 out of toby last night after his dreamfeed at half 11! xx

 

[mum2be2011]

Thanks Leanne, that's really nice of you. Lukes family commented over the weekend about how much weight I've lost and how good I look. Gave me a massive confidence boost.

Yeah I was thinking 26th April as it was a date that was mentioned when we were arranging the last meet.

 

[smiffy85]

I'm happy with the 26th! Same place or are we gonna venture somewhere else this time? x

 

[Fraggles]

Where did you go last time?

 

[mum2be2011]

We went back to monkey business Fraggles.

I don't mind where we go. If we go back I'm going to drive as it's easier. If we go somewhere else it will depend on distance etc for driving or whether I jump on the train. I'll let someone else decide on where.

Hope all the jj's are ok and not suffering in this heat

Forgive me ladies!!!

Quick update for you.

first I promise to be more active, thanks to those that reached out to me as usual.
So I went to NY to be with my husband.. We (baby cianna and I) were suppose to be back by the 27th because she had her 2 month appointment on the 28th of March but that totally didn't happen so we didn't get back until April 6th. I hardly had internet where I was which is why I haven't logged on.

Baby Cianna is a chunky baby.. I love her OH SO MUCH. Everyone in NY that met her instantly fell in love and wanted to bite those cheeks and her "thunder" thighs lol.

I'm sure she's 12 lbs by now..

My pumpkin is sleeping VERY well during the night. I put her to bed between 11pm and midnight and then I'll wake up around 2am or 3am (depending on if she went to sleep at 11 or 12) and i'll feed her while she's asleep. Then around 6/7am she wakes up.. I feed her again and then she'll lay in bed making the cutest sounds for about an hour and a half then go back to sleep till about 10:30am which is when we typically start our day.

I am feeding her 4oz every 3.5 to 4 hours =) her hearing is well.. Lastnight the thunder woke her up. She's no longer wearing her newborn clothes she's wearing her 3 month clothes. She loves her swing. She is holding her head up (she's been doing that after 3 wks though) she loves to smile. And tomorrow she'll FINALLY have her 2 month check up/shots which I'm NOT looking forward too. This Friday she will be 11 wks.


Also I gave up on the breastfeeding due to her having thrush and me pumping was a mess because I wasn't producing enough milk and i'd be there forever with the pump so thats over with.

Her face (mostly the right cheek) was so dry and rough I thought it was a rash, but I bought some Aveeno baby lotion and her face was smooth literally OVERNIGHT.. Aveeno is a WONDERFUL product.

I can't get this child to drink water lol she HATES IT.

Okay that's it... I hope everyone is doing well.. I'm going to read back a few pages to quickly update myself on you ladies.
