It's been 5 years since my last confession... And after Finale, we ended up with an encore.
Working full time, studying again, 4 kids, volunteer work and never enough me time.

Being a grown up isn't as easy as I thought it would be.

Running a (half) marathon On June 1st 2014 Ill be running a half marathon.
Im starting out this week at 4.5km, and plan to add 3km a month to my distances. I dont care about times for now, I just want to finish the race.
The only thing worse than a Did Not Place is a Did Not Finish, but a Did Not Start is the worst of all.

perth I'm enjoying our visit, the break from daily life is always good!
home tomorrow, then back to our old 'routine' of sorts.
I'm halfway unpacked/sorted and will be having a stall at the bargain bonanza to a)get rid of some junk and b) make some money.
we are broke.
on the upside I've found the most awesome toy ever, and even better the inlaws are getting is as lizzies xmas present! its an exersaucer (ill post a link when I'm not on my phone) and the super-duper one is $300 and then shipping!!!
it will be the most expensive thing we have ever bought, apart from our fridge and entertainment boxes (dvd/hardrive/radio doover) (oh and the car haha)
will try and find a local place to get it in for us too.
ill update some more if we decide not to sleep much (her poor teeth, 2 so far and one grumpy bubs!) but time for bed.

Current Mood: grateful

3 month check in Weight/length/clothing size being worn: She is 5.4kg (behind schedule!) And 63.5cm long (off the charts!)Shes wearing 000 and 00, depending on the brand/style
Food! Formula? Breastmilk? Combo?: Combo while her weight gain is still slow
Sleep habits: shes an absolute angel! bed 11pm-7am then a feed and nap till 10/11 a catnap or three during the day, then a big feed 7/8ish and dozes till 10/11 feed!
Is baby on a schedule? If so describe: she seems to consistently sleep the above times, but has gone all day with out naps a few times now.
What's driving you crazy, if anything: She doesnt always nap, which means I get NOTHING done at home, but Im not losing my 8 straight hours and 3 hour nap in the mornings, by trying to get her in an unnatural routine. she also likes to 'play' with my nipple (pulling it with her mouth) when she wants me to wake up.
Milestones: She can sit briefly on my lap (so not a flat surface), reaches for toys and plays with toys. She is starting to hold things, and held her bottle last night and the night before. Shes rolled tummy to back (anything to get out of tummy time) but its seems a fluke, cos she cant always do it. She is 'worming' her way around, lifting her butt (on her back) and moving that way. Will have to stop leaving her on the bed while I run to the loo, she turned 180 and reached the edge of the bed the other day. She laughs, plays with us (loves pulling Steves hair and playing with his lips) and is a very smiley happy little girl.
How are you doing in general: Well. I love being a mum!
Are your health and weight loss concerns going well?: Still hanging on to a few kg, (only put it on after she was born and I could eat again!) and my abdominal separation in taking ages to heal, meaning no hardcore gym for me. Seeing a physio but I’m thinking tummy tuck ;)
