Wordless Wednesday

Finally finished a scarf

An empty hook... What's next...

Wordless Wednesday

Colouring fun this morning before snack & a nap

 

I've started a new beret...

Looking forward to a busy week ahead

With Indi being sick all week and me catching his bug (thankfully only lasting two days), cabin fever is starting to set in!
As the weather isn’t great at the moment going out-out isn’t really an option, so we’re all going to the garden centre wildlife weekend tomorrow.
The rest of week will be filled running about at Top Tots, crazy wild fun at home ed group, story telling and crafty session at the library, visits to two nanas, singalong signalong at the library & visiting friends finishing with a halloween party on Saturday!
That’s the plan anyway!!!

Everything on Hold

Indi’s sick right now, his first tummy bug. So of course blogging and that sort of thing has been ignored for a while.

I’ll be back soon hopefully to do the second part of Indi’s birthstory, in the meantime I need to concentrate fully on him

Baby Talk

My sister-in-law had a baby a couple of weeks ago, a beautiful little girl. It felt so strange holding this tiny baby (who, at 9lb 1oz,  was only an ounce smaller than Indi at birth!) after carrying my 30lb toddler around all the time!
SIL had a pretty awful birthing experience though, she had pre-eclampsia and had to birth her baby really quickly. Her first baby was born in perfect surroundings (birth centre) and there were no problems at all so this time round must have been quite horrible for her to adjust to.

My own little baby hasn’t been too well these past 24 hours, it seems to just be a bug and we’re hoping it won’t last much longer. It’s the first time he’s been sick, apart from colds, and it’s hard to see him throwing up anything he eats. We tried giving him a small amount of food last night but he couldn’t keep it down. Even breastmilk keeps coming up too. Thankfully he slept really well last night so I wasn’t too groggy when he started being sick next to me at 4.30 this morning! As soon as he was vomiting on my pillow he got up & started playing! He’s drinking water anyway so won’t get dehydrated.

So we won’t be going to our new home-ed group today, I’ll take him out for some fresh air later to walk the dog but that’ll be it for the next day or so… Poor little boy!

What? Again?!

AF returned again this morning, have been feeling awfully cranky lately and I’ve got a monster of a zit on my face!

But it’s not been that long since last time… Actually I just checked and it’s been 25 days! Wow that went very quickly! According to the software I had an LP (luteal phase) of just 5 days but who knows when I actually ovulated?!
I guess I have to let my body get it’s ‘rhythm’ back

It’s all good though, fresh start and all that… Now where’s that cake…

(oh & thanks to Jeff who went to the shop for pads for me! Must buy another Mooncup!)

Intermission – My Breastfeeding Toddler!

 

Indi’s nearly 18 months old & he’s still a booby monster!

We haven’t got a breastfeeding time limit so who knows when he’ll wean himself off, there’s no sign of that just yet!

To Go Live Or Not….

Once I hit that privacy setting button that makes this blog available to the world (ha!) that is it, I’ve made it real… I’ll officially be not-not trying… lol!

I’ll be using Ovusoft software but not taking temps as I never get 4 hours straight sleep these days with my little man in bed with us!
According to the software I am 3DPO (days past ovulation) and in the 2WW (two week wait (until testing for pregnancy or for AF (aunt flo – period) to arrive))

Posts may be sporadic but I will update as much as possible.

This post is private… for now… lol, not anymore!

After nearly 26 months ‘AF’ decided to return to work

The ‘problem’ that we had last year is nearly resolved and I’m starting to get a little broody!

We haven’t really discussed it so I don’t know exactly what page DH is on regarding another baby, I know he would like more but when I don’t know.
I suppose it’s just the same as before we were actively ttc for Indi – if it happens it happens!

For now I’ll just start taking an interest in charting again, although temp taking is out ‘cos Indi still bf’s through the night and I’ll make sure to get a good intake of folic acid every day.

This time round I won’t go ‘mad’ & put on 40lbs! I’ll stay vegan and try to eat as healthily as I can.

Indi’s Birthday

It was a quiet one, thanks to being in the middle of the week.

We took Indi & Skylar down to Ogmore beach in the morning. He’s been there before but not since he’s been able to walk and play. Suffice to say, Indi absolutely loved it at the seaside! We spent an hour there, on a nearly empty beach. Luckily, the tide was out and there was miles of sand to run across. The sun didn’t grace us with his presence but it didn’t rain, although if it did I don’t think Indi would have minded!
We bought an ice-cream on the way back to the car and shared it between us. Another plus in Indi’s opinion!

On the weekend Indi’s Grumps & Auntie Jess came up to see him! We spent a lovely day together and Indi really enjoyed seeing them again.

Woohoo! The beach!

Walking along with Daddy

Go on Skylar! Play with me!

Ooo what's that?

Just a stone...

What else is down there?

I'm running into the sea! You can't catch me!

Thanks for my present Grumps, can I open it now?!
