Current Playlist: Have been way too busy to have a real listen to anything new this month. Have just downloaded the following albums and will give them a spin soon:
- Britney Spears - Femme Fatale
- Metronomy - The English Riviera
- Lisa Hannigan - Sea Sew
- Toro Y Moi - Underneath the Pine
- Glee: The Music - Volume 5
- The Naked and Famous - Passive Me, Aggressive You
Current Shame - Inducing Guilty Pleasure: Candy. Iced Coffee. Chocolate. Paddlepops. American Idol. I'm terrible Muriel...
Current Colour: Green for poo. White for milk. Blue for Teddy's eyes.
Current Drink: Water. Iced Coffee. Fresh orange juice.
Current Food: Lamb meatballs, lasagne, bacon+zuchini pasta, jatz, museli bars, cheese, fresh fruit.
Current Favourite Show: I've started watching Sunrise on 7, because I'm usually feeding Teddy at that time. It's terrible TV, if you can call it that. Also, new season of 30 Rock. Big Love just finished its last season, I cried during the finale. United States of Tara Season 3 just started this week, the 1st episode was brilliant.
Current Wish list:
- For Edward to gain some serious weight.
- For my milk supply to increase.
- To push myself to sleep when the kids sleep.
- For the house to finally finished. C'mon boys!
Current Needs: A nanny or house keeper. Shary Boppins will do.
Current Triumphs: Finally am feeling better after a bout of mastitis. My breastfeeding attachment is good but my milk supply is weird. Am hoping things will settle down in the next week or so.
Current Bane(s) of my Existence: I feel like a feeding cow at the moment while Edward and I get into a routine. At the moment, I feed him, burp him, settle him, then play with Abi, clean the house, do some washing, check my emails, then it's time to feed him again!
Current Celebrity Crush: Matt Damon. I love his comedic role as Tina Fey's pilot boyfriend, Carol, in 30 Rock. I loved him as Jason Bourne as well. He is a hot, family man.
Current Indulgence: When both the kids are asleep, I take a longer-than-usual shower. It's my quiet time.
Current #1 Blessing: James has been able to work from home quite a bit since Edward was born. I've had a few days on my own but I've loved having the extra set of hands to help me.
Current Slang or Saying: It's time for a feed again. Would you hand me a cloth? Can you pass me my feeding pillow? Can you go downstairs and get me a kit kat?
Current Outfit: Lovable Maternity singlets. Am living in them! My OLD jeans fit me which is awesome. I miss my pregnancy belly but love wearing things that don't have elastic waists.
Current Excitement: Easter is around the corner. Which means chocolate. And public holidays. The house renos are ALMOST finished. I have been picking things out of the IKEA catalogue and getting vey excited to finally be in the house.
Current Mood: Happy. Tired. Excited.
Current iphone Apps:
Angry Birds Rio - This game is super fun for killing time. 
Hipstamatic - Love this app for taking pics of the kids while out and about.
ibaby feed - This app is amazing. It helps me track all my breastfeeds, reminds me which side to start on next and gives me an average feeding time as well. It alerts me with a 10 minute warning before Edward is due for a feed as well.Current Link:
- Save Our Sleep - for routine information
- Australian Breastfeeding Association - for helpful tips and support hotline
- Taste - for great, quick dinner recipes
- Babycenter - for advice and support from March 2011 Mums
Matt Damon, I love him so!
ReplyDeleteHope everything the breastfeeding gets better. I know for me during the first month was a nightmare but I can't imagine also looking another young one as well!
ReplyDeleteI also recommend Tizzie Hall's book too. Funny that during pregnancy I was so against it but it's about taking the concepts of the book and making it your own - adapting to your own routine, beliefs etc...Good luck!
Your doing a wonderful job. I'm so proud of you!!
ReplyDeleteLeave Tizzie unopened, read the Robin Grille and the ABA information. Good wishes with BF and your new bubba. Namaste
ReplyDeleteI would't recomend the Tizzy Hall routines if you are having problems with your milk supply.
ReplyDeleteFrom memory it suggests feeding a newborn every 4 hours?? Its not often enough to establish a good supply. Every breastfeeding Mum I know who follows her guide ends up with Mastitus.
I'll be interested to hear how you find the Heart to Heart book as I have been thinking of buying that one too.
Haha am glad to see Im not the only one addicted to paddlepops.. better than magnums I tell myself!
