Hi ladies,

Stranj, when do you move? Really hope it goes smoothly for you, moving is hard work. How were your pap results?

Trix, awww congrats so pleased will hopefully make for another smooth pregnancy. How is conor?

Lil wow the time is flying!

Hispirits, so cute your little man is a strong boy! Erin hated being on her tummy until she could roll over. Are you feeling fine now after all your troubles?

Erin said mommy! more like mom-meee. And then a couple of days later she woke crying in the night and called for me for the first time, I was in there so fast! She's been quite a grump the past few days, think she's teething again. We've been discussing our plans and options and reckon we'll be TTC Dec 2014 feels like a long time away lol, sure it'll fly by though. Least we have an idea now

 

[lilrojo]

Aww dreamer yay for a date.. It will def fly by..

Trixie yay for one little baby..

Yup almost 14 weeks here.. crazy how fast its going.. next prenatal is next week.. then we schedule our anatomy us..

 

[trixie79]

Hi girls.... So much for not having symptoms!!! I'm feeling sick all the time... Ms a couple of times!!

Finished my job today and start in a new area next week... Was sad but I drive 110 miles to work and the new job is 34 so it's much closer...

Conor still isn't saying much but is talking his own wee language!! He now points to his belly button which is so cute!!

Dreamer dec will fly by!!! God I'll be nearly due then!!

 

[_dreamer_]

It's next Dec trix lol. We've got to pay off the work we've done on our investment property, then save a bit more for our funds and buy a new house next year.

What's the new job trix or is it still health visitor just a new area? So cute on conor pointing to his belly button hehe. Sorry you're feeling very sick and I hope it passes quickly!

Hope your prenatal next week goes well lilrojo, will you find out the gender at your scan or keep team yellow?

My weekend begins today, I love having Fridays off. I'm meeting up with my 39-week pregnant friend, little baby cuddles soon! After a few grumpy days, the past 2 Erin has been in a lovely mood which has been great, hope it continues for a bit!

 

[trixie79]

Lol I thought it was this dec! You must be good at saving.... I can hardly put a tenner away these days!!!

I'm still a health visitor just in a different area... A more deprived area... Oh the joys!

Think Conor said no today! Great first word huh!he has also started the all gone action with his hands... It's so cute.... And will shoo cats away from the garden by waving his hand and saying gah! All in one week... My clever sausage!

 

[baby2310]

congratulations trix, glad all is ok, morning sickness sucks but hopefully will pass soon for you
congrats lil, hope everything is going ok for you too
dreamer, dec 2014 will be here before you know it, can't believe we already halfway through 2013!
my hubby doesn't want us to ttc until callum is 4!!!!
i definitely don't want to wait that long. i would rather it be next year sometime as i want this year to be just us and callum.
not broaching the subject at the moment and will start to work on him towards end of the year lol
callum has started walking unassisted yay!
only a few steps at a time but that's fine by me.
He also says no, gone, oh oh and just today toot toot which is part of one of his stories lol. so cute hearing them speak at this age i love it!!

 

[Claire1]

congratulations Trixie!

Well done to all the babies, growing so fast. We've been hectic the last few weeks, weddings parties gigs etc i don't get much chance to post. I'm on my phone but will post more when I get to the lap top.

Hope everyone is well, oh and if things continue to go well here we will ttc next year around may if I can wait till then so we might be bump buddies again dreamer and poss baby if you have your way!!

 

[StranjeGirl]

Hi Everyone!

So glad the growing babies are doing well! Congrats trix on a good scan! Sorry about the symptoms. It's a no win situation lol! If we don't have them we get worried. If we do have them we feel terrible. Hope they settle down for you soon! Hope the new location is going well?

2014 will be here before you know it dreamer! HOw exciting to have something to look forward to! And you guys can just enjoy this time with Erin!! My pap did come out normal, thanks for asking! I was so relieved I can't even tell you. For the first time since 2009, I can change back to yearly appointments rather than every 3-4 months.

Baby2310, callum is soooo cute! Love the avatar! Selfishly I think 4 is too long to wait!! I would just start getting used to my toddler doing some things on her own and then we start all over again!! It's a tough call. I do think it would be easier to have a newborn and a 5 year old, rather than a newborn and a 2.5 year old, but then if you have them closer together after a few years they play together and you can take a rest! Like I said, my opinion is only due to selfish lazy reasons lol!

How are you feeling Claire? It's going by so fast!

You have a strong little boy Hispirits!!! How are all of you doing?

Giada is doing good. We just flew to colorado for dh's brother's wedding. The flight there was horrible as giada squirmed and yelled the whole time and then fell asleep right when the wheels touched the ground. She was good for the rest of the trip and the flight back, so I can't complain. Unfortunately I have a neurological dizziness problem that is triggered by traveling. I had been doing pretty well, but this trip set it off for some reason, so I have been feeling crappy since getting back a week ago. We are supposed to leave for a road trip, 11+ hours, to oregon on sunday to visit dh's grandma. I know I shouldn't go because it will probably make me worse, but I'll probably end up going anyway and just cross my fingers that things don't get too bad. I think part of it is having a toddler never gives you time to fully rest. Giada had her hearing test yesterday and it went ok. They put the probes in her ears and everything is functioning fine. Then they had speakers on either side of the room to see if she would respond to the noises. She scored in the normal range, but at the low end. If the noise was loud enough she looked, but honestly she was kinda distracted. I had her on my lap and was trying to keep her occupied with toys so she wouldn't start squirming and screaming. So I think she would have done better if she wasn't so distracted and only 17 months. He said it was normal for her age to get distracted and not respond to all the sounds. Luckily she responded to enough to put her in normal range and show her hearing was fine. He wants us to go back in 7 months, but I really don't see why. I still don't think she is saying any words, except possibly trying to say "done" when we ask her if she is all done with her food, and a couple animal sounds. Trixie that is funny conor picked up "no" lol!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!!

 

[_dreamer_]

Sounds like there could be a second batch of cbfm number 2 bumps lol, be great if a few of us end up bump buddies then. It's nice a few of you are together now. Baby, hope you can convince your oh hehe. Dec 2014 would mean Erin would be nearly 4 when number 2 comes along, a bit bigger than the general gap but I'm hoping she will old enough to help out a bit and understand what's going on but young enough that they can play together. We would consider a bit earlier if we get into a new house and savings are good.

Congrats on conor saying no haha. And to callum for walking, clever boy. When they say words at this age its so cute.

Stranj, so glad your pap was fine. Is yearly standard in the us? I think its 3 years here but could be wrong. Sorry you've been feeling rough, I hope you don't feel too bad if you do go on the trip. and so great giadas hearing is normal

I left Erin overnight for the first time on monday for a meeting in France early on Tuesday. My friends looked after her at ours, I missed her so much but all was fine. I've got her a little pram and she's so cute pushing it around, says 3+ but she's loving it so much

Do you still follow fizzio? If so hope you are ok. And futuremama how are you? Plus all you other ladies who haven't been on for a bit, hope things are well

 

[lilrojo]

Hey all

Have my next prenatal tomorrow.. and Im staying team yellow

 

[Claire1]

Good luck Lil, team yellow is always exciting. I loved everyone guessing.

Congratulations Stranje, you must be so relieved! I hope you start to feel better soon and your road trip goes well.
I think Darcey would be the same as Giada on the flight. We're hopeing to go to Spain sep/oct to visit the inlaws but Im really worried about Darcey on the flight. I think she would just scream and moan/cry for the whole flight. Its not a long flight, only 2.5 hours but she has no attenetion span! I know not many toddlers do, but shes quite difficult at the moment. She only seems happy at home, if we take her out she just grizzles and winges most the time and doesnt stay doing anything. I hope its just a stage shes going through but its lasting a long time! Hence why im worried about the flight!

Trixie, is it normal for toddlers to just like their home surroundings? She just seems to get overwhelmed almost when we go and do things. For example we went to a play park and went on each thing no longer then 2mins but did play in the water area for a good 45mins But if we're at home I wont hear a peep out of her. It feels like I cant please her at times, bless her. Ive always taken her places and will sit and play with her but shes just not content at the moment and its starting to worry me and to be honest puts me off taking her out Ive put it down to teething but maybe its something more like autism or adhd...sounds drastic but she justs likes her home routine and that worries me. Sorry for the essay! What are your little ones like? Is she just being a normal toddler but super inquisitive one? Are your LO's content when out, eat nicely, play etc??

Things are going really well with hubby and I, it feels back to normal now and he is how he used to be. I really believe he had bit of a mid life crisis or something but snapped out of it. Hes being so good to Darcey and myself and we are doing things as a family all the time. So fingers crossed next year there might be another bump on the way I hope a few of us get to go through it together again!

Hope everyone else is keeping well xx

 

[trixie79]

Ah Claire thats great abt you and hubby.

Oh and wat toddler is content when out.... Your not the only one... All you have to do is look around at all the other toddlers!!! Conor is a wee winge to at the minute and gas z cough and cold so I'm Defo putting it down to teething... When oh is abt he just screaming at me as if I'm the bad guy and clings to his dad! It's heartbreaking when you do everything for them!

Good luck lil.... My new job is grand, a lot closer to home! But I hate being away 4 days a week but at least I'm home for 5!

Have my booking on Tuesday and apt with my consultant so I should know then if I need the stitch and antibiotic!

 

[trixie79]

Hi girls measuring 11+1 today.... Scan went well and saw the consultant! He did 2 swabs and said if they pos then I go on the antibiotic but no stitch as the cervix is long!!!

I see him 3 weekly! Delighted he is going to look after me.... And more likely a planned section too ..

 

[Claire1]

Thats great news Trixie, sounds as if its all going well. How do you feel about another section?
I can't believe youre already nearly 12 weeks. Im so excited for all you pregnant ladies!

Thanks for the support, I know toddlers are all the same but felt she was a bit more trying then others. I'm sure it will get easier with time, just had a bad day.

How is everyone keeping?

 

[trixie79]

Think I'd rather just have a little push and the baby pop out...... Don't think that will happen though!!!!! Lol... I can still hope!!!

I'm soo big girls I look at least 30 weeks!!!! Will have to take a pic to show you all!

 

[_dreamer_]

Lil how did the prenatal go?

Trix, that's fab news your cervix is long! And that the scan went well. Are you keeping it a secret at the moment or have you told everyone with you showing so much? Would love to see a pic.

Claire, I'm so glad things are going so well with hubby
Erin is generally good if I take her to a play center, group, park or someones house where she can roam freely (she is used to nursery so maybe that helps her?) but our issue is when I take her out in her pram for a while, say shopping, or when we stop for a coffee or go out to eat she can be a nightmare. She just wants to get out and run around. I have reins but she does not want to be restrained and it takes forever to get anywhere. In coffee shops, restaurants etc, sometimes she's good for say half hour and sits in the highchair, then has had enough, but sometimes she starts up right away. The other day I got her out her highchair becauae she was screaming in muffin break, and she kept making a break for the exit. I was up and getting her each time then one time I couldn't get her quick enough and she actually went into the shopping center, with me closely behind and I could see her but this woman grabbed her and looked horrified at me. Then a guy working there brought her over a chocolate muffin and said to help her sit still. I felt like the worst parent ever.

Erin has laid in the last 2 mornings, 7.30 yesterday and 8.20 this morning! Lovely for the weekend. Normally she doesn't sleep past 7. Although she was awake for an hour last night in the night but would normally still get up before 7.

 

[trixie79]

God 7 to me would be a god send!!!! Conor goes down at 7 , now cries for at Lear a half hour then fusses for the next half hour and wakes every morning at 5:55 am exactly!!!! Doesn't matter even if he goes to bed at 7,8,9 or 10 pm!!! It's doing my head in !!! ESP with the new job, the 4 day week is killing me!!

Don't worry abt Erin, Conor is exactly the same only now in his tantrum he screams.... Lovely... At least he does walk with the reins but wer he wants to go not me! He is in perpetual motion constantly and rarely sits still!

Great fun huh!

Haven't told some if my mates yet because I haven't really seen them but most people know now.... Think I'm 12 + 1 today!!!

 

[_dreamer_]

How's everyone? Can't believe we are finally having a summer, this weather is just beautiful. Off to the park at some point this morning then afternoon tea in a friends garden later yum yum, I mustn't forger to make the scones!

My friend had her second lo last week, a little boy, Theo he's sooo sweet. And his big sister who's just over 2 seems to have taken to him so well.

Stranj, how's the house going?

Think its time for picture updates on the lo's Where has this year and a half gone??
