Hi that's so bad especially for m&p! We used our Moses basket, Erin hated it for a few days (but I think she would have hated being put down anywhere) and she got used to it in a few days. She slept in it til around 3 months I think will have to check and that was when she outgrew it. We liked it cos it fitted in our room, but then she was such a noisy sleeper we put her in that in her nursery at about 6 weeks. If we'd had a proper carrycot for the pram to use downstairs (we have a silvercross surf) I would have got a crib for definite, but the moses basket meant we could have it downstairs in the day and upstairs at night.

Claire, Erin likes finger foods but I think that's because she was so bad with being fed from a spoon I gave lots of finger foods from 6 months. Anything hard like breadsticks, toast, rice cakes, maize snacks etc she loves. Soft things like fruit/veg fingers are a bit hit and miss. How does she do with lumps/ non mashed food?

I haven't noticed Erin sniffing either. Although I was playing around smelling her feet and saying pwoah and hen put them to her nose and she did sniff, was so cute and funny.

Ha ha trixie I can't believe conor sniffs feet and legs too lol!!!! That is too funny! I thought giada was progressing with walking, but all of a sudden she is not doing it the past couple days?? Is this common?? A few days ago she kept taking steps and falling adn then getting back up. Now she seems totally uninterested in it??

Sorry about your moses basket hispirits I bought a pack n play and a good mattress for it because I knew that I would have giada in our room for a long time and she would outgrow the moses basket soon. She still sleeps in it in our room. I had gotten the brica portable bassinet for during the day that I kept on the couch, but she outgrew it after a few months. We are discussing moving her soon as we just received her baby monitor. We got the wifi baby and I just finished setting it up on my computer and iphone, now we just need to put it in her room...then we need to put her in her room

Claire I am no expert but wouldn't worry at all about the finger foods. I swear babies just seem to do what they want. Giada would eat her little vegetable puffs on her own, but would not eat cheese on her own for the longest time. I would put in on her tray and she would pick it up and look at it and not eat it. If I put it in her mouth she ate it and liked it, but would not do it herself. Maybe Darcey just likes the other food better? Happy birthday to her!!! Giada has now started throwing her food on the ground. she will put one in her mouth and one on the floor...it's driving me crazy!

Well dh forgot to pull out last night and I got a positive ovulation test this morning He pulled out half way through when I said something. So I don't think there is a good chance that anything happened, but I am still scared. It would not be a good time right now as we probably have to move soon and we are leaning toward only having one. Oh well, the odds are that there is no way I can get pregnant, but it still makes me nervous!

 

[trixie79]

My kitchen floor is so grubby, Conor throws his food constantly!!!! He has done it since I started weaning so you will get used to it!!!

Don't worry abt the walking Conor did that for like a month or so then just took off!

My 3 neighbours are pregnant, same as last time!!! Im not sure yet if we are ttc or ntnp.... Cause I still don't know when I'm ovulating cause I'm not yet using the cbfm but i charting everything but the temp.... Not sure if we are ready yet.... Kinda hope it happens in the summer, but thinking of just seeing how things go!!! And not getting too wrapped up in it all !

I think I ovulated today or yesterday... Got cramp and felt like af was coming... So at least I'm taking notice!!! And we dtd day before yesterday and today.... So you never know

Any who Conor slept till 7:30 this morning.... That's a first ever!!!! I'm working tomorrow but if he sleeps late I'll just leave him and go to work late! One can hope!!!

 

[trixie79]

Yeah he slept till 7:30 again whoo hoo !!!

Well today was the first time James had Conor all day cause I was working and he said he had a good day and hardly cried!! Si that was grand until I noticed the child had 2 black eyes!!!! He fell once and hit his high chair .... He's grand though but hope the eyes don't go too black or anyone would think we battered him!!
Think he must have exaggerated about the " good day"!!!!!!

 

[StranjeGirl]

Poor conor!!! yea I have a hard time seeing that conor barely cried with 2 black eyes!!! HOpe he is ok! Giada has had some big falls lately All of a sudden she is not very interested in walking and seems more off balance. I'm wondering if she got scared from a fall? How great he slept til 7:30!!! I am trying to get giada to sleep a bit less during the day to see if she will sleep longer at night. She doesn't usually wake til 7 or a bit later, but I would like her to go to bed earlier. SHe is up til 9 many nights and I want her in bed by 8:30 at teh latest. Ineed some down time!!! What time does conor go to bed?

 

[trixie79]

Well we put him to bed at 6:30 cause of the night wakens but then put it up to 8 as usual once all that stopped .... Now we have settled on 7pm and he sleeps all night!!

He woke at 6:30 this morning... But at least that's better than2,3,4 and 5!!!!

 

[lilrojo]

Bryce is 1 tomorrow.. my goodness..

 

[trixie79]

Happy birthday Bryce!!!!

Have you done anything nice?

Had a coffee with an old school friend today.... Even though Conor was with me , he was as good as gold and now in bed asleep!! But I felt like a normal human being again and not only a mum!!! It was nice! Omg it took 13 months for that !!! Hee hee!

 

[StranjeGirl]

I guess this is a drunken post lol! I'm waiting for dh to come back with food but mil was watching LO and we were going to go to dinner and we stopped at a bar first. We started playing pool and now I'm addicted to beating him so I sent him for fast food. Horrible!! We should haven gone to dinner. On he's here. Wrie more later!!!

Happy birthday to Bryce! Hope he had a great birthday.

Sounds like you had a fun evening stranje! Nice you had a date night with hubby. I really need to arrange something for me and oh. We haven't been out together in the evening since Erin was 3 weeks (only then cos my mum was over and watched Erin and wanted us to have a night before she went back to oz!). That's so bad. I'm going to get on the case now!

Erin is walking! 6 steps at nursery on the 13th and then when she came home on the 14th she was walking everywhere! Nursery has been going great, she seems to be really happy there which makes me happy. Just need to get naps sorted there, they are a bit unpredictable although she's still napping fine at home. Maybe will just take more getting used to. Got her first nursery painting, a Valentines one which was too cute. Went back to work on the 12th as well, its gone fine, I just find myself missing her so much and thinking about what she's doing, have to force myself to focus on work but its not been to bad. Guess it helps I found out I've been given a promotion so that was nice news to go back to.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend xx

[lilrojo]

ohhh exciting.. yes pregnancy flies by.. before you know it you will be holding him in your arms..

 

[Hispirits]

Those 1st 12 weeks drag so much, then in the blink if an eye its nearly over .
Unbelievable. I can't wait to meet him, see his little face, and teeny hands, have that baby smell on tap
But I will miss being pregnant, so much. Xx

 

[trixie79]

Ah congrats to Erin!!!! Conor practically runs everywhere now but is so clumsy anyone would think I'm battering him!!!

Glad Bryce had a lovely birthday!!!!

His it goes in the blink of an eye... And so does the first year!!!!! I wish someone would have told me I'd never sleep again!!! I think it's because one day blurs into the next lol!!!!!

 

[LadyL]

Hey ladies!! How is everyone? I feel like I haven't posted in ages. This little one of mine keeps me busy these days!!

Happy late birthday to Darcy and Bryce!!

Exciting about your 4D hispirits!! I know what you mean about missing being pregnant! It really is amazing and you will come to miss feeling those kicks!!! But there is nothing like snuggling up with your baby!

Can't believe I'm 12 weeks tomorrow! I feel like this pregnancy is flying by! Had my 12week appt today, but no soon. HB was 162! So all is going well. I go back on March 21st and he's gonna let me have a scan to see if we can tell if its a boy or girl!! Yay! I'm so excited! Can't wait!

Sorry about not replying to everyone. But hope you all are well!

 

[StranjeGirl]

Happy belated to bryce!! So glad he had a great birthday!

Congrats to Erin!!! It's amazing that once she started she just took off!! Giada has been opposite. Taking steps for weeks now but still not taking off totally. She did walk quite a bit today, the longest stretch so far. But some days she wants to walk and walk, and other days she only wants to crawl or walk holding our hands. I wonder if part of it is what she is wearing on her feet. Maybe her socks are more slippery than her PJ's. Or maybe she does what she feels like lol! So glad work is going well and Erin likes nursery!

LadyL I can't believe you are 12 weeks!?!?!?! Where the heck did the time go???? Congrats to you and a healthy heart beat!!!!!

Hispirits you must be so excited for you scan!! Hope you get some good pics!

Giada is a bit constipated I'm going to try some pear juice tomorrow to see if that helps. I've taken 2 pg tests today as I am 10dpo and dh forgot to pull out til halfway through 2 days before ovulation. I'm praying i'm not pg as it would not be a good time, and I have had a pelvic pain flare up this past couple weeks. I want to take some medication but I'm afraid what if I'm pg. DH is now saying "oh, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, it would probably be a good thing" Easy for him to say!!! Well I'm pretty sure that if If got a bfn 10 dpo then I prob don't have to worry.

Hope everyone is well!!

[_dreamer_]

wow just noticed we're over 2000 posts!

ooo 4d scan hi, thats so exciting. cannot believe you are 28 weeks! not long to go now! are you getting there with getting organised? Have you started thinking about a birth plan or did you mention you were likely to have a csection?

and lady can't believe you are 12 weeks thats mad!

stranj, have you taken any more tests to see? sorry to hear giada is constipated not nice for them poor things. erin seems to have had a permanent runny nose since her birthday. i think nursery probably doesnt help. shes had a couple of bad nights, we got her up at 8.30 last night for 2 hours (we havent done that for months) and brought her downstairs, she was really really crying and nothing would console her. we gave her some calprofen and after a bit she perked up and was suddenly fine, dont know whether she was in pain from something, or if it was just fluke, maybe a nightmare or something. she seems ok today.

i'm trying to get Erin to drink more cows milk so that I can cut out a breast feed. thinking the morning one to give me more time in the mornings with work/nursery and will also mean oh can get up with her and give me a lie in which will be bliss! She will have a couple of sips from a cup but not drink anything substantial. just keeping on offering it to her at the moment in small doses, and hope she increases the amount she drinks. Trixie, do you know is it right that if at 1 they are only drinking cows milk, they need 500ml a day? She is not a big fan of yogurt and will eat a small amount of cheese but not a lot. She has cows milk on her cereal in the morning.
