Me?

bwahahahahahah

Was popping in to check how everyone is going. Better start dinner soon. Did I mention my abs are sore from the 200 tummy crunches I did yesterday?

What's for tea? We're having risotto.

BBL - will read the other thread.

[JTCDS]

Just got back from picking the kids up from school. Total shock to see new thread!

Well done on FP MSM

[more than just M...]

Hmm, what can I have for dinner.

So tempted to go get KFC or something. I have the cash, but not the money IYKWIM.

But I just cant be bothered. sigh.

Emily is watching Hi5. Oh, and thats her normal sleep routine. She can sleep up to 3.5hrs during the day.

[Guest_Canadiangirl_*]

Well Brooke, you are a lucky girl to have such a great sleeper than if she does that normally!
Alira does 7pm-7am and then a nap from 1:30-3:30pm during the day. She's pretty reliable with that too thank god.

Dinner here is chicken schnitzel and sweet potato.
If I can stop blowing my nose for 2 seconds. haha.

Owen just sleeps when he bloodywell feels like it



usually goes to sleep sometime between 8.30 - 11.00 pm
average is 10.30 when we got to bed

I usually have to wake him at 8.00 to get out of the house to get to work

on a work day he sleeps in the car on the way to Mums (yes straight after he has woken) he has a bottle in the car then nods off, probably about 30 mins sleep, then he sleeps at mums for 1 to 2 hours. Then he sleeps in the car on the way home about 30 - 40 mins.
THEN HE IS UP ALL BLOODY NIGHT



So Brooke you are lucky to have a good sleeper

Cassidy was a good sleeper and still is, Rhys was a bit of a PITA, and Caitlin had her moments - but mostly good

[Michelle4]

Mish - enjoy your dinner,

I am folding washing, gee I am getting a lot done, LOL
waiting for Cass to get home from dancing, then taking R to Taekwondo

I have had about 6 cups of coffee today

[Shibley]

I got the washing done, dried & folded too. Still in the car though, had to come in and feed Logan. $17 it cost me (plus $15 at the scrapbook shop 2 shops down... and $4.80 at the bakery 2 shops up...)

Natalie - LOL at your DH thinking he was going to get lucky due to the F word muttered in the bedroom

Mish - TTC sucks <_< I was on the pill with Tiana, so big surprise. Then close to 12 months TTC for Alexis (then Logan, well, you all know about that!) I tried OPKs, they never worked for me - temps & mucous alwats showed O, but OPK never did Dr agreed that I was O according to charts. He even said I was probably conceiving each month too, just not implanting. I never knew because AF always arrived before a BFP. Now, this is probably just coincidence, but, each time I have fallen pg I had just stocked up on tampons & pads!! Maybe that'll do the trick for you? Seriously though, I hope it happens soon for you, vent away to us whenever you need to, a few of us have been there done that One thought I have had too, is maybe it's due to your weight? You mentioned losing more weight that you can't afford to lose, could be the problem, could explain a long cycle now too. Thinking of you & {{{hugs}}}

Janey - nothing to say your newborn won't sleep well, yeah, so many people say "oh, the next one will be soooo different", but mine haven't been (sleep wise anyway )

Michelle - YAY to Owen in his cot!! I hope your sisters vomiting eases soon, just what she needs...

Kyla - **get well vibes** to you.

Brooke - come back & talk to us...

Better put Logan to bed now, then get started on tea. Stirfry tonight.

'bye



Mish - I just had a scan through my journal I kept when TTC Alexis, thought I'd share this entry:

9th March, 2004

Still not pregnant...

This month I have stopped charting, and stopped checking CM & CP. I am staying away from Essential Baby as well. It was all getting too much for me, I decided to take a step back from TTC, and to focus on other things. Tiana for one. I have decided to start acting like Tiana is it for us, and when I finally become pregnant, then we can celebrate!

I was talking to DH about it the other night, speculating that maybe the Baby Gods haven’t sent us our baby yet, because DH had said he wanted to get in some trying first before it happened. I said to DH maybe they don’t realise that he would be very happy for it to happen already! So he told them to hurry up and send our baby to us. Funny if it works hey?!

20 days later I got a BFP, Alexis was on her way

[JTCDS]

Dinner for me, Chicken breast rolled in Bacon, wiped with butter and garlic! Mmmmmmmmmmm Just going along with what ever I feel like LOL. I read this recipe somewhere and for the life of me cant remember where, so trying to go from memory of what was used LOL.

SHIB - Isnt TTC a funny thing. I got my BFP almost 2 weeks after you I think.

[more than just M...]

OK, Em is in bed (already!) so I can post now.

All through my teenage years I suffered from undiagnosed depression. I finally did somehting about it at 18, and was on medication (Zoloft) for about 15 mths. Thats when I met DF.
As depression runs in the family (Dad has probs too) and the fact I know it usually comes back at some stage, I have always been watching for it.

Well, I can see some signs. I can just feel it creeping up on me, expecially since the whole DOCS thing. At the best of times I doubt myself as a mother (I am pretty selfish), and so when someone else accused me of it, it cut VERY deeply.

Emily starts care 4 days a week next week, and I plan on spending time for both myself, and get my life in order. DF is cracking it about a messy house (mind you, I have been sick) and so I really need to work on that.
I need to work on spending more quality time with Em, rather than draging her everywhere.
I am starting slowly. I cleaned the DVDs up while she napped, and then we played with the blocks. After that, I gave her a bath (normally it is a shower as it is easier).

I dont know yet if I will see a doctor yet about this, or see how I go over the next few weeks. I am going to talk to DF tonight, and I am really hoping he is understaning and supportive.

So yeah, thats where I am at.
