Proud of
- getting all my baking done this morning - vanilla cookies for the boys, carrot cake, muesli slice and gingerbread loaf for my and DH's lunches, gingerbread loaf for PC and Ben's birthday cakes baked, shaped and in the freezer for next weekend
- getting my Aunt and Uncle the best birthday present ever. Got them a camera for their computer and we 'skyped' them agan today. Jack loves talking to them and they love it too

Not proud
- didn't even attempt to fold the washing this evening, there is probably aout 6 loads there waiting in a pile on the lounge floor. Oh well tomorrow is another day

Good idea... the last trimester is definitely the hard yards and ya gotta take care of yourself!

And LilSquishy - yay for Riley rolling! Nathan rolled a couple of times since 3mths old and then all of a sudden was doing front and back and we couldn't stop him - he rolls from one side of the room to the other!!!

Linzy how long did all that baking take you???

I have to add that I am proud that I managed to catch up on all the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, the bathroom and loo, vacuumed, mopped the floors, caught up on all DS and DH's washing (now just mine to go) and washed some of DS's toys and tidied up all while watching Oceans 13

Feel like I need this today...these are more pats on the back generally rather than what's happened today.

I am proud of myself for breastfeeding for nearly 8mths now. I spent 4wks battling to breastfeed DS after a tongue tie and his refusing to take it. I expressed for 4wks and ended up with mastitis and was hospitalized and on the day I was about to give up, I tried nipple shields and with Plunket's help - he went on. Now 8mths later, no shields and no problems and looks like I will be breastfeeding till he's 12mths like I wanted to. So yay for me for persevering through that horrible time.

Secondly, I am proud of myself for the bond I have created with DS. It is really special - particularly when we have our little cuddles in bed and he drifts off to sleep in my arms, which he's done since he was a newborn. I feel like we have such a strong connection. And when I'm not managing that well I still find a way to rise above that and care for him, play with him and love him the best I can.

There are plenty of things I'm not proud of but I'm not going to think about them just now

What are things you're proud of about your mothering so far?

I am proud of my friend and the way she dealt with her son on Saturday getting him on the plane to his fathers. I did help with actually putting him on the plane, but she did so well with him in the airport.

I am proud that I didn't lose it with my FIL last night in front of my kids.
I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!
