Lady that cake is AMAZING! Happy birthday Jack. Such a cutie even when not feeling so hot!

Lil, so exciting. Fingers and toes crossed for you!

I should be ovulating today or tomorrow...Can't wait for the tww.

 

[lilrojo]

Thank you ladies.. will let you know what happens..

 

[StranjeGirl]

Happy bday to Jack!!! So sorry that both you and he are not feeling well What a great cake and adorable pics!!!! So glad the party went well!!

Fingers crossed lilrojo!!!

Hope you find some time and energy to take advantage of ovulation day working!

Hope everyone else is well. Giada took 5 steps in a row yesterday!! Still no words though. She used to say Ada when we woudl say giada, but now she doesn't even do that. What age do we start worrying if they are not saying anything? Dr didn't seem too concerned at her appt. He said no one ever brags about the things that their child is not doing so we always think ours is behind when we compare them. I don't see him again til 15 months. Hopefully by then she will have started with the words!

Happy birthday to Jack! What adorable pics lady, and wow what a cake! Are the photos of your house? Its lovely if so!

Erin was also not too well for her birthday party, she had a cold and was a bit grumpy. I've attached a pic of Erins winnie the pooh cake and a couple from her birthday. She is now standing by herself and has taken her first few steps 3 in a row so far!

Happy belated birthday Stranj
Congrats on Giadas 5 steps!! Clever girl! Erin was saying ta on occasion although she hasnt said it for ages but no other words. She babbles dadadada a lot but not to daddy. Mamamama rarely comes out!

Hispirits, hope you are a little more comfortable now. They get into some awkward positions hey!!! I miss the kicks too lady, although towards the end they were really quite forceful lol. Its very reassuring once you can feel the movement. And lovely if you poke and they kick back, the first interactions!

I'll put up a couple of piccies of Australia too

Hope everyone else is well.

Good luck for all those TTC - fingers crossed xx

So the first two are Erin in Kuala Lumpa at our stopover on the way there and the way back. You can see how much she changed in that month!!! She looks a little like a vampire baby in the first haha!!

 

[_dreamer_]

Theres loads but just picked a few

 

[Claire1]

Aww Dreamer, what lovely pictures. It must have been such an amazing time with your family, I bet they loved every second!
Congrats on the standing and walking as well.

Same to Giada, she'll be sturdy soon and no stopping her. I wouldnt worry about the talking, I completely agree with what your doctor said. Im sure he would have said if he was worried about anything.

Happy birthday to Jack! Great pictures, he looked like he enjoyed himself. Hope you both feel better soon.

Good luck Lil, 2ww so exciting!

Same to you working and Trixie

Thanks Claire, they did, so many happy memories! Shame Erin won't remember...we'll just have to go again.in a couple of years

Meant to add...happy birthday to amber fizzio. Hope she had a lovely day. How are you doing hun?

All these babies turning 1 I just can't believe it!

 

[Hispirits]

naaww all these birthday babies!!

i can't believe how much they change in year.

strange 5 steps try not to keep worrying yourself hun on how she's developing. she sounds perfect to me. x

babys head down!! woo hoo.
argh i love all the discomfort too
i love being pregnant and actually think it'll hit me hard when i don't have him all to myself in my belly anymore. i know he'll be here properly,which will be something else, but i'm not looking forward to not having the fullness anymore, i think i'm gonna feel empty, like a little part of me is missing. lol.

fx crossed for some new bfps this month

 

[Hispirits]

i had my 25 week midwife appointment yesterday, my bumps measuring 5 weeks ahead?
did any of you ladies have this?
do i need to worry?

xxxxx

 

[workingttc]

Hi Hispirits! I didn't have that exact issue, but I had lots of friends who did and it turned out to be totally fine. What they don't tell you is that those measurements have a huge margin of error. They really can't tell very well how big baby is or how big he'll be when born. I had several friends who were told that their baby was going to be HUGE (causing them much panic!) and the baby turned out to be totally average size. Plus it's also early. They grow in spurts, so you may just have measured your bump when he'd just finished a big growth week! Try not to worry. Plus better measuring ahead than behind, which is what lots of girls have to worry about!

 

[trixie79]

I agree with working his, I don't think it's cause to worry... I was told Conor was big... And the triplets wer all the same but Conor was 7lb 15 and the twins wer1 lb and Caitlin was 1 lb 3oz so I think they can be abit off...

Happy birthday to all our one year olds... Stranje Conor still not saying any words!! Only dada and that's not really to him... Think the dummy will have to go soon!! Although I have reduced it during the day...

I have another throat infection and feel rotten... James is abroad on business till sun and I'm just wrecked!!

Dies your LO show affection, like hugs and kisses... Conor doesn't and I suppose it annoys me more than him!!!

 

[lilrojo]

Hey ladies... so af got me.. and i went to the drs.. starting my first round of clomid tomorrow.. hope it will do the trick.. fxed for an early march bfp

 

[Claire1]

Sorry Lilrojo, I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Hope your doc appointment goes well

Hi-like the others said I wouldn't worry, I think everyone goes through spurts etc and the measurments really aren't that accurate.

Trixie, Darcey has started to gives kisses and has been hugging for a while...which I love, but only when she wants to. She often has a hug for most people though She does say a few words as well, but I really think it is because she spends SO much time with her cousins she picks it up. I do repeat alot of words to her. She says, mam ma, da da, Hiya, Hello, hey (when Im brushing her hair, or when I take something from her) No, yeah and the dreaded Oh toodooles!!! Which she says like "too doo" I think its deffinatley down to having so much interaction with other children.

Darcey is turning 1 on sunday! I cant wait for her party with the family, but Im also a little sad that shes growing so fast. Time is flying by!!!

Hope everyone is doing well and hope you feel better soon Trixie xx

 

[_dreamer_]

Sorry af got you lilrojo. I don't know much about Clomid what is it? Hope all goes well

Wow Claire, darcey says loads! That's great, the interaction with her cousins has helped so much. I felt the same about Erins birthday, so great seeing them grow and develop but it all seems to happen too fast. Those little babies are turning into toddlers!

Oh no trix, hope you feel better soon. I've had a bit of a sore throat, hoping it doesn't get any worse. Erin doesn't give kisses at all, but gives hugs sometimes. Not if you ask but sometimes she wraps her arms round me and puts her head on my shoulder, makes me melt a bit. It's only been recent though, tye last month. When she does it I say awww nice hugs. Then ill ask for hugs at another time but nope.

25 weeks hi that's crazy! I wouldn't worry too much. I think its such an inaccurate measurement. I measured about 3 weeks behind but Erin ended up being 8lb5oz and was born 2 days early! You've had quite a few scans, have they said anything about size in those?

My friend popped over for lunch on Monday and she's 20 weeks pregnant with her second! She only told me then, she's not making it very public yet as doesn't want to tell her work til 25 weeks as she's a stewardess and once she tells them she won't be able to fly anymore. Don't quite know how she's hidden it as she has a definite bump! Oh I look forward to some newborn cuddles

Erin had her settling in sessions at nursery this week which went great. No tears when I left, and she had lots of smiles for everyone, and loved exploring and interacting with the other children. I found it so sad leaving the first day but knowing she's happy makes it a lot easier. First full day on Monday. I'm off work so think ill find it tough, will have to keep busy, my first day back is tues eek! That 14 months flew by

 

[StranjeGirl]

Affection? What is that? LOL!! Giada every once and a blue moon would give us what I think was a slobbery kiss. Now if we ask her she will many times bring her face toward us, where as up to two weeks ago if we asked for a kiss and went toward her she would take her hand and push my face away. She will kiss our legs or feet sometimes, but not sure if they are kisses or if she is sniffing because she likes to do that too. Glad to know conor isn't talking yet as it makes me realize it's normal!! Giada is finally taking steps. She took 11 in a row yesterday! Hasnt been too interested in it today but maybe she was just busy with other things. SO sorry you are not feeling well. Have you tried whole garlic? I haven't been sick in ages and I swear it is because I swallow a clove of garlic anytime I am worried I am getting sick. It can also speed up recovery. It has to be fresh garlic. I used to chew it and swallow but not it makes me nauseous for some reason. I think you need something in your stomach or it makes you feel a little sick. Now I cut it up and swallow the pieces with water. If you don't mind the taste and smell try it!! HOpe you feel better soon.

So sorry lilrojo!!! Fingers crossed for this coming month!

So glad erin did well dreamer! I think these things are harder for us than them!! How fun you will have a friend with a newborn soon!! I have one too that we are having a baby shower for at the end of the month. SO excited! It's her second!

Claire I can't believe what a talker you have!!! That's amazing!! And one on sunday!!!! Happy birthday Darcey!!!!!

Hispirits I measured like 5 weeks behind with the tape measure. the dr didn't really pay any attention to it as I was getting ultrasounds. However I measured on the smaller side of normal in the ultrasounds right before I had her. They said they thought she would be about 6 pounds from how she measured on the ultrasound and how my stomach felt, but that even the ultrasound can be about 3 weeks off! She was 8lb 4oz so so I don't trust any of that stuff! My SIL was induced a week early because her baby was supposedly way too big and he was like 7.5 pounds when he was born. I also know someone else that happened to. Can't believe it's 25 weeks already!!!!

Ok, I better start dinner while giada is sleeping. Lately she has decided to scream a high pitched horrible scream while I am in the kitchen cooking

 

[Hispirits]

26 weeks tomorrow, 99 days left! double digits!

thanks everyone, thats reassuring, my gp said he just may arrive early, so we'll see. but they are thinking of booking a c section in for me 39 weeks anyway. i'm open minded to pushing him out or a section, what ever gets him here and keeps us both safest.

i have a 4d scan in 3 weeks so we'll see how things are in there.

sorry af got you lil.

my mum brought my moses basket for me for xmas from mamas and papas,
i've had it on a stand and kept looking at it and thought it looked a bit wonky, i had a proper look last night, i can't beleive how bad it is!

its a £95 moses basket!!!
i'm taking it back next week and exchanging it for a crib.
piece of s**t!

 

[trixie79]

Oh my god his... That's horrendous! We only used the Moses basket for 1 nite as I couldn't see him at nite so we bought a crib but he was only in that till 5 weeks then moved him into his cot in his own room!!! I know Im a naughty health visitor!!!lol!

Congrats on 11 steps.... It took Conor another 3 weeks to really get the hang of it!! But now he is practically running!!! He was walking very tentively on his birthday so it really does progress fast... So glad that darcey is doing so well, but glader that all others can hardly talk lol that makes me feel better !!!!

Oh and wat is it abt them sniffing feet and legs!!!! Conor does that too hee hee!!!!

 

[Claire1]

She is a chatter box, but I 100% put it down to having so much time with her cousins. She will see them probably 4 days a week sometimes 5. They are almost like sisters to her and picks up so much from then...not all good!! I think the terrible twos has hit us a year early. She was crying on the floor for 10mins today banging her feet and hands because I took something from her!! She has a VERY big personality for someone so young.
She's not walking on her own yet, She sometimes stands and walks with her push alomg walker but thats it.

They all do things at different times. I would say shes a bit behing with her eating. She doesnt like finger foods. She would happily eat a hot dinner twice a day spoon fed. She has no interest in feeding herself. Is that normal at this age??

Hispirit, I would def take that back! Im also with Trixie. Darcey HATED the moses basket, she slept in her carry cot part of her pram till she was 4 months old!!
