Just wanted to wish everyone a belated merry Christmas!!! I hope you all had wonderful family time! I feel so fortunate to have a little one to spend it with! And I feel fortunate to have you girls! It's been so nice to have all of you the past couple years and I'm very grateful for all the support!!!

Trixie you are almost there!!!! Hope you got a little rest with conor and oh away!! Are you scared? I'm scared and not even pregnant lol!!

Bloody petrified!!!!!!!!
I'm very emotional today, Conor's favorite word is no and with OH home I'm totally not wanted and it's doing my head in!!!!conor is also hitting me more and more and the pretending to cry isn't working anymore!!!

Any tips girls???

 

[StranjeGirl]

Trixie, Giada learned no no no this morning. I'm happy as at least she is picking up something, but I really wish it was a different word! This week she doesn't want dh at night or in the morning. I really think they just go through phases where they want one more than the other!! The pretend crying was working for me too, but not so much anymore. Honestly I think it just is what it is at this age!! But maybe someone else will have some good tips for both of us!!

Wishing you all a very happy new year and that 2014 brings everything you wish for

Eeeeeeeeeek TRIX! Good luck for tomorrow. I cannot believe you are about to have a second haha, I can't even imagine it lol. Awwww newborn snuggles though... they went so fast last time. I have no advice really on the hitting. I tend to say no we don't hit mummy really firmly, then if she does it again, get low down and try to get eye contact and say no hitting that's not nice. And if she does it again I move away or pick her up and put her down away from me and say I've moved you away because you are hitting me, you don't hit people, it's not nice. That tends to result in some tears and a strop but then usually she either comes to me for a cuddle or will get distracted by something and stop. I'm sure you've tried that anyways, thankfully Erin doesn't seem to do it too often and generally this works for now for us although i'm dreading when it doesn't!!! Also....yes you are mad for going to the next sales heavily pregnant haha

Stranj, that was lovely what you said. I feel really fortunate for having met all you ladies on here too, what a lovely little group we have.

Hope you all had a good Christmas and new years? We had a lovely time, I can't wait for next year when Erin understands it all even more. So exciting.

Would love to see a few xmas piccies if anyone gets the chance.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow Trix, can't wait to hear news...best wishes for as easy as possible time

Love to all x

Ah your so good getting photos up!!! To be honest I don't think we took many photos this year, not sure why, guess I was too interested in getting to the sales!!!!!!


I feel so lucky to have met you guys!!! Friends forever! We will soon be asking advice on teenage strops!!!

Wish me luck today's the big day!!! Oh god I feel sick!!!!!!!!!

 

[LadyL]

I know it's been forever since I've posted, but wanted to wish you luck today trixie!! I'm at work now, so not much time to catch up. I'll try to catch up over the weekend! Get ready trixie....life with 2 is busy busy busy!!!

 

[trixie79]

Niamh Ellen Whelan born at 12:53pm today 6 lb 11 oz and I have another ginger baby!!!!

Spinal was bloody traumatic as he couldn't get it in and I was near hysterical. But they also gave me gas and air throughout to calm me down.

Never again!

Boy and girl enough for me!!!!

 

[_dreamer_]

Massive congratulations trix!!!!! To your hubby and to conor as well. Beautiful name. I'm so sorry to hear it was traumatic sounds awful. Wishing you a speedy recovery, look forward to hearing how conor gets on with meeting his new baby sister. Best wishes hun xxx

 

[StranjeGirl]

Oh congrats trixie!!! I've been thinking of you all day!! So glad you and baby are safe! I hope you get some rest (ha ha like that will happen!)
Can someone tell me how to pronounce the name? I haven't seen it before! But I'm sure it is beautiful!!! Can't wait to hear the updates!

Happy new year everyone!! Dreamer your pics are absolutely gorgeous! Erin is is going to be quite the heart breaker!!! It brought tears to my eyes seeing the progression. I really can't believe how fast they grow. I wish we had them for a little more time at this age! I will try and post some pics later!

So good to hear from you Ladyl!! Can't wait to get an update! Would love to see some pics!

Hope you are all well ladies!!! I got a pos opk on cd 12 yesterday..quite a surprise as I am usually a cd16-18 ovulator. We started bding yesterday morning but this on demand bding is no fun for either of us. Hope we did it enough to at least have a chance this month. Wasnt expecting a positive for another few days.

Best wishes for 2014!!!!

 

[trixie79]

Well I'm home and still very sore! My back is killing me , must be from the failed attempts of the spinal, I hope that goes away?

Stranje Niamh is pronounced neve like knee with a v at the end if that makes sense! It's Irish for beautiful an old mythical name , very common in ireland.

Good luck with the bding.

 

[Claire1]

Happy new year ladies! Here we are, start of another new year all together. I don't know what I would do without you all sometimes!

Aww, Congratulations Trixie! I hope you're feeling a little less sore. What did Connor make of baby Niamh? Lets hope you can get some pics up soon.
Niamh was our 2nd choice for Darcey, I LOVE that name. Its still on the backburner if we have another girl, but would spell it Nieve as I believe your way is the Irish way (obviously you being Irish) ha ha! How have you found it so far with two? Hope you're taking it as easy as can be for now!

Good luck Stranje, keep us posted! Also well done Giada, I think "no" is a very popular choice of words for little ones. There will be no stopping her now!

What beautiful pics Dreamer, Erin is so cute. You'll have to keep an eye on her! Its so lovely to see the progress, and many more to come!

Lady, great to hear from you. I look forward to catching up more when you have the time. Hope you and your little family are keeping well.

AFM, we had a very busy xmas and new year. Darcey had a great time and got to see lots of family we don't see very often. We had a week and a bit of different guests, so its quite nice to be back to normal now.

Does anyone have big plans for 2014?

Here's a couple snaps from this year and one from last year!

 

[StranjeGirl]

Oh Trixie that is a beautiful name! I'm glad I asked as I would hage guessed the pronunciation completely differently! I hope your back is better? I remember being a bit sore after also. It's a big needle I hope you are getting some rest!

Claire what beautiful pictures!! Look at her hair! It is so long! I notice with giada that if I pull all of her hair back she still looks like a baby. I do it often and pretend lol!

We had giada's second bday part a couple days ago. SHe isn't 2 til the 9th, but we celebrated it on Saturday. I can't believe it!! I will upload some pics of it later! I need to load them on my computer!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

 

[Hispirits]

Congratulations trix!!!! She weighs the same as Frazer did.
Pictures mama!!!!

Happy belated Xmas and new year lovely ladies xxxx

 

[Claire1]

Happy birthday to Giada, hope she's having a lovely day x

 

[_dreamer_]

Glad you're home Trix, hope your back is starting to feel a bit better?

Awww Claire, Darcey is such a beauty! She has so much hair! It's funny how hair can really make a toddler look older or younger. Erin is quite tall but has little hair so I think she looks younger.

Happy birthday for yesterday to Giada! The big '2' hehe. Not long until Erin's now. Did Giada enjoy her party? What did you do?

Claire, our plans for 2014 are to buy a new house! Thinking of putting ours on the market at the beginning of May. Keeping an eye out at the moment to get an idea of what we're looking for and looking a bit at primary schools (gulp) to help decide on area. And then possibly think about number 2 towards the end of the year. What's your plans? x

 

[Future Mama]

Hi girls! I haven't been on this thread for a while and have tried to get caught up with everything that's been going on. Happy New Year to all of you, hope the year is off to a great start!

Congrats Trixie on the new baby! LOVE her name, it's beautiful! How are you feeling now that you have 2 little ones to take care of? I hope you're healing well and resting as much as possible.

Love the pictures of Darcey and Erin, both are adorable! I can't believe these babies are getting so big!

Stranje-Happy birthday to Giada! Did you have a big party for her? Would love to see some pictures! I noticed you were ttc again, have you tested yet this month? Good luck, I hope it happens sooner than later for you!

Afm, I'm pregnant....again I had a miscarriage in October and am 5 weeks pregnant today. I had some testing done because of my recurrent losses and found that I have a clotting disorder that they think were causing them. So for now I have to give myself daily injections of Lovenox (a blood thinner) to prevent clots from forming between the placenta and my uterus. It was really difficult to do the first couple times, but I've become a pro at it. Going in next week for my first ultrasound

I hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[Claire1]

Congratulations Future! Lovely news, I'm also pleased to hear they got to the bottom of your problem. Keep us posted!

Trixie, How are you doing? Busy I'm sure!

Stranje, when are you due to test...fingers crossed!

Dreamer, I hope you get to buy your new house. Hope yours sales quickly when needed. We don't have any major plans as such, but hopefully ttc no2 around summer time. I feel quite excited about it, though I can imagine it will be hard work, but can't be that hard or else people wouldn't do it, ha ha. I'm such a worrier. I worried so much about having Darcey and coping, but it was fine and I need not have worried. I feel so blessed to have a beautiful healthy daughter!
Hope everyone else is keeping well?

 

[trixie79]

Hi girls, things are going great, apart from the 2 year tantrums!!! I sometimes forget I have Niamh as she sleeps eats poos and is so quiet!!! So far!!!

Conor is not sleeping well and is so attached to oh thatim actually glad he is back to work

When I get a chance I'll put up some photos..

Congrats future I hope all goes well for you.

Girls your wee girls are adorable

Must figure out how to put up pictures!!!

 

[Claire1]

Great to hear from you Trixie, lovely to hear Niamh is being so good. I guess it's understandable for Connor to be having a few tantrums. Has he been jealous at all? Look after yourself x
