SB, Wow 2nd tri already! its flying by! Good luck for your appointment on thurs. Lol think Katies gonna have a shock when number 2 comes along!
I think so too! She's such a little princess who gets all of our attention, and she's be at an odd age - old enough to remember what it was like before baby, but too young to really understand. I'm sure there will be a lot of adjustment! I'm trying to wean her right now. I'm afraid if I let her continue and stop her when the new baby comes, she'll resent the new baby for it. She's such a sweet little girl and shares with all of her playmates at church, so I'm hoping she'll get the hang of her big sister role quickly.
Hi girls,
Just a quick question - I posted in toddler group too - do you still feed your little ones? Ajay went through a long phase of feeding himself but now he doesn't and won't eat (just says finished) unless I feed him..... should I just dick my heels in and make him eat himself or is it ok to still be feeding him?

Katie hates to be fed, she only wants to feed herself. However, I do feed her when it's something really messy like soup, yogurt, etc. Or bananas - she likes to take bites off of a whole banana, but if she does it herself, she'll shove so much in that she chokes. But everything else she feeds herself, usually until it's not fun anymore. Then I quick shovel in the last bites until she seems full.
I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow SB! I'm so excited for you, it's flying by! Your pics on FB are fab as ever- I particularly love your ones of Katie and the ones of all the lovely things you bake! So yummy!
Thank you! I'm so nervous about tomorrow, as this was when everything happened last time, but I'm remaining positive. I do know that if they can't find a heartbeat while there, I will be demanding an ultrasound! Last time they didn't hear a heartbeat they said it was fine and sent me home with an appointment for a month later, even though we'd never heard the heartbeat before. This time, I'm making sure everything is okay before being dismissed!
I'm quite obsessed with taking pictures of Katie! I was looking at last years pictures...is anyone else in shock with how much they've grown in the last year? So many changes between 1 and 2 years old, it's amazing!
Hi
SB - Annabelle pokes Henry in the face all the time to show she knows various body parts. We never leave her alone with him and we tell her she can't touch his eyes.
We've taught her how to not poke the doggies in the eyes, hopefully she'll catch on with the baby, but basically everything from people to stuffed animals get eye pokes, along with nose, mouth, ears, head, and everythign else. lol. Maybe she'll grow out of it in 6 months?
I forgot to ask- Birthdays- what is everyone getting? We got rid of Hollys old kitchen (she had a big little tikes one) but I'm thinking Naomi would like one now- I've been looking at the little tikes premium wooden one and the side by side one in toys r us- thoughts? The price is attracting me to the side by side one (and the size!) but the wooden one looks so good, I can't make my mind up. Other than that I'm kind of stuck for ideas?
So far I only know one gift. I bought her a little cozy coup car, which I'm painting to look like Minnie Mouse, complete with little wooden painted ears and bow on top. I'm really excited about it, as she's obsessed with Minnie and Mickey. I think she'll love riding in it!
After that it gets tricky. I was shopping without her the other day in the toy aisle, and I just knew she'd love everything. With my hormones, I actually wanted to buy the whole pink aisle! So I'm holding off on toys until I can be more logical.
I also almost bought her a guinea pig last week. She loves to watch them eat and run around at the petstore and my hormones told me she'd love this. But thankfully I was reminded that I don't need another thing to take care of and feed right now when I'm going through so much morning sickness. Really don't want to get her a pet until she's 3-4 but I'm always tempted...as if two dogs aren't enough!
Other potentials include Kara, Livia, Myla but Paul's not sure about any of those. Argghh it's so hard!! My guess is we'll end up back with sophia!
