I just made myself a baileys hotchocolate and i have a bar of chocolate too! Kind of like a hug, and only a little bit of baileys

 

[A3my]

yey - I know what you mean a little naughty treat always calms me down when I am raging inside!

I've eaten 3 mince pies because I am p!ssed off with DH taking over front room with xbox playing. I cant be bothered to argue with him so I have stuffed my face - glutton for punishment me! I had lost a couple of lbs of baby fat but I can almost feel the muffin tops filling back out again

 

[emera35]

Hah! I like muffins!!


I've not lost alot of weight, and being so strapped for cash i'm still wearing a selection of maternity clothes, classy chick that i am. However, my shape has changed back and i'm doing these serious excercise classes, so i'm not losing, but its definately converting to muscle, don't think i've ever been this fit actually, well maybe when i was 16 and doing county swimming, but that was like.... argh 21 years ago!?!?!? Ok, might need another baileys after that thought...

 

[A3my]

I've been wearing my maternity tops - shame they hang down at the front my shape has changed, I'm about 1/2 stone over pre-baby weight but I'm really blobbly and after 3 children I have super childbearing hips!! I used to run and horse ride but now I dont do any exercise what exercise classes do you do?

 

[emera35]

I do postnatal exercise classes twice a week, they started off pretty gently, but now they are quite brutal, we are o to circuits, its alot of squats, planks and weightlifting

 

[emera35]

only thing i can really do, as i can take Roh along, he loves it, he eats all the other mums shoelaces, and pulls their hair!

 

[A3my]

that sounds great!! and a little scary is it a surestart class? my excuse for not exercising is Alex so if I could find a class like that I'd have to go!

 

[emera35]

Nope, i don't have a surestart centre anywhere near me, as i happen to live in a posh postcode (in a pretty crumby flat) so everything costs money here! The trainer was a guest in one of our postnatal classes at the HV centre, and i was really impressed with her so i've been doing the classes since late May

Evening!

Just a quick one from me, I'm on my phone. Steve came home early from work and stole the laptop as soon as I left it unattended so I haven't had a chance to get on properly. Oliver and I had a lovely day though with my parents, he was so lovely all day

Emera I'm glad Roh is improving! Sorry about your OH, Steve is exactly the same when he's tired. He's utterly horrid! I do what I can to avoid him if he hasn't had much sleep, and I always try to make sure he won't be tired - its like having another child I hope you have a good night tonight sleep wise. Your exercise class sounds great! I could really do with something like that! I still have about half a stone or so to loose.

Amy I'm sorry your oh is hogging the tv

I have been wrapping pressies this evening, I thought I was doing well until I realised that I haven't even started on Olivers, and we still have two big Amazon orders to be delivered! I said to Steve you know if you want to help I don't mind and he just said 'oh no honey, your doing a great job' typical

 

[emera35]

Oh, just noticed on your ticker Sarah, happy 7 months to Oliver!

The miracle of chocolate has cheered me up so i'm off to bed, although all attempts to move Roh into his cot have failed, so i'll just have to squeeze in there somehow!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Oh, my ticker is half an hour early

Gosh I can't believe its been seven months!!

 

[LogansMama]

Happy 7 months Oliver! Time flies huh Sarah? Feels like we just brought them home!

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - happy 7 months to oliver

emera - sorry to hear your OH was being a t*@t when you needed him to be supportive. hope roh is better

h&f - hope your gran's op goes well

amy - no sign of a tooth yet. i also stuff my face when i am annoyed/depressed i don'd dare weigh myself but i have resigned myself to starting ww in january as i have to look half decent in a swimsuit by may/june when the beach weather arrives!!! i want to be a yummy mummy but i am definately a flumpy mummy now. am getting my hair cut and lowlighted on friday. i am hiding from OH how much it's going to cost. it's my xmas pressie to me cozi feel i deserve it!!!

well i have found a good way to entertain owen - baby einstein beethoven video (you can stream off youtube) my other 2 also liked it. he will happily st in his high chair for about 30mins watching it

 

[Sarahwoo]

Well Oliver must have been very excited about his seven month birthday as he has been up all night I have had about three hours broken sleep and Steve has just moaned that he got no sleep because I had the duvet. Except I didn't, and he was snoring all night, so he's talking crap

 

[Sarahwoo]

Oh, on a cuter note, Oliver has perfected saying 'mama' which although I know he doesn't know what he's saying is still super cute

 

[hope&faith09]

Hey everyone -

I really hope you dont mind but I really need a rant and this time its not about OH! shock! Basically as you know my nan is in hospital and she is having the op today and will probably be ready for discharge tomorrow but her house is no longer suitable for her and a care home which she wants to go into is too expensive for her. This would all be ok if my parents had time to sort it out but they are supposed to be going away for a long weekend to see my sister and my mum is now getting stressed and ill again about everything which just isnt fair as she has enough problems with her mum and this is my dads mum. What I dont understand is why my auntie (who also did nothing when my grandad-her dad died) cant step up take some of the pressure and help out. I could smack her one. Right rant over.

Other than that ... OH did a really good job with Amy last night and he ran me a bath when I got home and was all lovely. Things obviously arent back to normal but I am glad he has tried to make some sort of an effort.

Ahhhhweigh in tonight as well, I am actually looking forward to going tonight its lovely to socialise for an hour! Really hope for a loss tonight I am getting so close to my christmas goal the more I lose the more cushion I have to eat over christmas!

Maybe-when you start ww maybe we can keep each other motivated?

Sarah - how cute of Oliver! Amy just goes blah blah na na blah.


Oh and I now havve to drive back to Nissan to pick up my delivery pack for the car(only 6 weeks late) I am also going to insit they put fuel in the car as I have spent so much travelling to and from there!

Speak later x x x x

modo - any sign of Bobby's top teeth? He and Alex got their bottom teeth at the same time - Alex's top gum is all swollen and I'm wondering when they'll pop through.

Bobby's are also swollen but no sign yet. Maybe they will get their next set around the same time too

 

[modo]

Emera: I am sorry that your DH is being difficult Oooh enjoy your hot chocolate!

Sarah: Glad you had a good time with your parents! I am going to start wrapping the gifts tonight. Happy 7 months to Oliver! I can't believe how quickly time is passing

Maybe: Glad Baby Einstein entertains Owen!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made Onigiri from the Baby Led Weaning Cookbook for lunch but Bobby got grumpy and decided to have his nap half an hour early. So the onigiri has gone in the fridge for tomorrow. I will be making spicy lamb patties with veggies for dinner.

 

[maybebaby3]

modo - what is onigiri?

h&f - yes it'll be great to keep each other motivated i am glad that OH is treating you better. sorry about all the stress with your granny!

sarah - sorry about your broken sleep men have no idea what a bad night's sleep is!!! how cute oliver must sound saying mama! take a video and post it on fb!!!

[hope&faith09]
