As for hobbies, what are some hobbies of each of you all? Please

respond!

Well, for me, I read whenever I get a chance, and I also do needlepoint

and cross stitch. I am still trying to finish an ornament for my OB. I

had hoped to get it done before Jannie was born but that didn't quite

work out. I also like to birdwatch and plan on taking Jannie out to teh

swamps as soon as it gets warm enough.

Let me explain something about the swamps I am talking about. There are

board walks and walking paths so it is actually quite safe. As long as

I keep her slathered in sunblock.

And I have one day a week that is me time. I am in therapy and I go

alone. It is nice not having to worry about things for a bit each week

isnt' it?

Cherie,

Yes, you can ask sex questions here. My sex drive has just returned after a

disappointing absence for about 12 months! I did not have that with my first,

so it came as a surprise. I don't think people talk enough about sex drive

when you nurse! My first was bottle fed for reasons much like your bottle fed

son. (Long story that I have posted before though) I still have not

menstruated, so I am wondering if this has any play in it too??? Like I said,

it is getting better, but not back to " normal " yet. I also practice co

sleeping, so this complicates things a little. Yes, we have found ways around

it, but it is more difficult at times. I would not trade our co sleeping

arrangements for anything though. As for hobbies, what are some hobbies of

each of you all? I know we all invest a lot of time in our families, but what

do you do to rejuvinate yourselves? Myself, I have just gotten into Creative

Memories and am loving it so far. I call it my therapy. Movies and dining out

are enjoyed too, but less often. I also truly love spending time talking with

my friends about anything and everything. That's it for me! Please respond!

Thanks for telling us about you. I like to read too, but I find myself reading

child-related magazines. I find that I cannot get into books of any length

I always knew that I couldnt do natural family planning, because every time

I ovulate I want to get pg!! thank goodness I am not alone!!

Boy have you ladies had some interesting topics while I have been gone!!

I just finished my first week of training & I sat down yesterday with close to

500 emails!! I DELETED a lot!! But as always, I have a few things to say, & I

hope I get this right. Please bear with me, everything is a big blurr right

now. I have an awful cold & total brain overload! Not a good thing!

Ok. Getting support. I get support from my side of the family. Forget the in-

laws, they just think I am some barbaric cave woman! I also get support from

my other BF friends, & here. I am on 2 bf loops!

I know I spoke about the period thing, but I will tell ya again, still no aunt

flow for me.

Hobbies, I love to cook & sew. If ever in any doubt what to buy me, just get

me a good cookbook! I will love it! Lately for my sewing creations, I have

just been making baby slings. (Anyone want to order one???? JK, but thought I

would ask.)

Sex drive, finally getting back to having one. I think nursing just takes it

all away. Which is probably Gods way, no sex no conception, no more than this

Mommy could handle right now!

Thrush, we haven't had it this time. My daughter had it, but I never got it. I

hear it is awful. ***hugs*** to you all. How did the gentian violet work?

Bras, my favorite is decent exposures. Mine is getting pretty worn. You can

see my nipples thru it now. I had taken my overall top down in the bathroom,

can someone say " headlights " on high beams! I was so glad I wore overalls to

work that day!!!

Ok that is all I can remember! I hope you ladies have a great week! It will

probably be the same here. I have to work 40hrs again this week in training.

Catch up will you all again next Sunday!!!

My current hobbies include: sitting at the computer all day long LOL and

sewing.

I am making all kinds of clothes for the kids and myself (right now I am making

matching outfits for all of us), diapers, diaper covers and slings, baby

washclothes/wipes, and whatever else I can think to make from the scraps. Any

ideas? I just love it when the scraps I throw out really are scraps!

Kristi,

Yes, all of the Chicken Soup books are great reading for Mommies. The way they

are set up in small sections makes it possible to read a little bit and no

forget the previous parts or whatever. Those are some of my very favorite

books!

Sex drive..... barely there (and for a Spanish woman that is saying a lot!!)

at least for me it is.... :0( My dh has noticed let's just say that.... Now

that night nursing is not there anymore I plan on surprising him a couple

times or so....

Hobbies.... I like to do Jazzercise when possible (depends on 's mood

that day), I also like motorcycles and woodworking with my dh; oh and I like

to watch my shows MON - melrose place and ally mcbeal; TUE - used to be mad

about you (now on Mondays); WED none; THUR - ER and sometimes Friends; FRI

that new show about the dr who moved back home (mommy brain :0( ) and SAT

Profiler.... Needless to say my VCR is running a lot! SUN I take the night

off to watch dateline or take a hot bath BY MYSELF (in my dreams hee

hee)....

what do you think??

<< I don't think people talk enough about sex drive

I agree!! : )

I still have not

menstruated, so I am wondering if this has any play in it too??? Like I said,

it is getting better, but not back to " normal " yet. I also practice co

sleeping, so this complicates things a little. Yes, we have found ways around

it, but it is more difficult at times. I would not trade our co sleeping

arrangements for anything though.

I didn't get my period until Philip was about 14 months or so. It still isn't

real normal although I've heard it may never be quite the same! (bummer as

I've always had a VERY predictable cycle) Anyhow, my sex drive *still* isn't

what it used to be. Better but not the same! : ( I've also heard this is due

to nursing so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed! : ) We CO-sleep with Philip

and I agree, I wouldn't trade it for anything! I love having him all snuggled

up next to me!! : )

As for hobbies, what are some hobbies of

each of you all? I know we all invest a lot of time in our families, but what

do you do to rejuvinate yourselves?

Hobbies.... Hmmm, lets' see...... I'm just starting to get into craft stuff.

Philip takes up so much of my time but I'm hoping to have more time soon. I

really want to start scrapbooking among other things. (sewing, cross stitching

again, etc.)

I *love* to read!! I read anything I can get my hands on!! Philip sleeps in my

arms for all of his naps so I use that time to just relax with him and read. I

usually read magazines (I think we have close to 18 subscriptions between the

two of us!) as I doubt I would be able to finish a whole book! I also, love

the Chicken soup books and agree that they are easy to read!

I enjoy spending time on line however I don't get to spend as much time as I'd

like as Philip hates sharing me with the computer during the day. (I usually

have to respond to posts late at night after everyone is in bed!)

I love to organize things! Phil, (my DH) once said that if I could I would

alphabetize everything in the house! lol

I enjoy cooking. I would love to someday take a gourmet cooking class...

I love to write!! Anything... in my journal, letters, emails, Philips baby

book etc.

Gee, there are soooo many things I love to do.... Now, if I could only find

the time to do them! : )

same here. I wanted sex all the time when I was pregnant and when I was

ovulating.

We found out about the ovulation thing the hard way though.. My dh said if I

ever

attacked him like I did the day I got pregnant with the first, he would run away

from me..

Before that I was always on the pill and I didn't realize how much it did kill

my

sex drive. Now that the third and final child is here, I got my tubes tied and

I

feel normalized.

Now if I could only get a decents night sleep....

Well, it is nice to know that I am not the only one who has no sex

drive. It has been a year. Yes a year. I was sooo sick during my

pregnancy that I didn't even want to think about it and now i am just

not interested.
