Yay Yogi!!! Amazing news!

Amber, sounds awful to watch your little girl get so sick. I'm going to be a mess when Delilah gets sick for the first time. Glad to hear she is on the mend.

Lucy, thanks for the reality check. Already I can't believe we got through the first few months. It's amazing. She'll be 4 months in less than 2 weeks. Sometimes I want her to grow up and be able to do things like hold her head up and sit up. Other times I just want her to stay as little and as cute as she is right now. Guess I don't really have a choice in the matter though!

Hearty - you will definitely enjoy christmas much more this year with Delilah, and next year will be even more amazing for you since she will be tearing into those gifts

Luce - glad last night went better for you! Hoping you have the same tonight too! And you are so right, there is always something around the corner!

Hope Penny is feeling better today! I think that is a good sign if she in interested in food again.

I remember the first time Kash threw up..it was Christmas Eve last year. It scared the crap out of me. Thankfully we were at mom and dad's. He was drinking his bottle and all of a sudden I thought he was choking and I sat him up, and he just started puking. I was covered, as was he and the couch (thankfully mom had to clean it all up lol). The next time, I felt so bad for the little guy as he would just start crying because it scared him so much I hate seeing the little ones sick!

Yogi - that is a great picture!!! so happy for you

I will definitely get pictures of my little dragon

Amazing news Yogi, I love the scan pic xx

Congrats Yogi! You're going to have your hands full.

I remember Maddy's first episode with the stomach flu. I got into a car accident driving home from work, I was so distracted and worried! She's such a pukey kid, I swear everytime she gets sick...even just a cold.. she throws up. I can't even begin to count the number times it's happened...or how many pieces of furniture we've ruined! I hope Bryce doesn't follow in her footsteps.

Hearty, you're girl sounds like such a dream! Bryce barely naps and his night time routine stinks too. I'm so tired, it's not even funny!!

Crib night #1 was a bust. I was too tired to even attempt it. We'll see about tonight...I have a feeling it's going to be a bust too.

 

[LucyJ]

Woo hoo Benjamin went down tonight with no problems didnt even cry just hope this is the way forward.

 

[msarkozi]

yah!! good job Benjamin

 

[Allie84]

Hearty, Alistair isn't even one and I sometimes miss the little baby period! Every day I feel as though Alistair looks more like a little boy than a baby and I'm trying hard to remember every little detail of these final 'baby' months. It's been the fastest 11 months of my life and will probably be for you, too. Happy Birthday, btw! Any fun plans?

Hoping, I hope Penny is feeling 100% better by now.

Lucy, I'm glad Ben went down well. I hope it continues!

Round, is Bryce in a bassinet? Don't worry about the crib thing, it IS hard. I hated moving Alistair to his crib for some reason. I loved the bassinet at the foot of our bed but he just got too big for it around 5 months.

Mel, do you have any baking planned for this weekend? I love hearing about your baking!!

AFM, it's date night tonight. and then tomorrow we're off to the pumpkin patch.

Anyone have any exciting weekend plans?

 

[msarkozi]

Allie! I am not sure if I have any planned yet this weekend. Tonight we are heading out for a few hours for a friends birthday. Tomorrow I am heading over to another friend's house for a bit in the afternoon for an Epicure tasting party. Sunday Kash has a birthday party to go to in the afternoon, and I have a Daycare meeting that night as well.

I do want to make a cake for a coworker's birthday that was over the weekend, so I might do that. I will have to make it Saturday night though if I do. I think I might make it with buttercream though so I can play with my tip set I have

Have fun on your date night Allie

Are you going to take pictures at the pumpkin patch?

 

[Round2]

Happy Birthday Hearty!

Good job Benjamin! Isn't it amazing when they do things we don't expect them too?

Allie, it all goes by so fast...not just the first year. My step son will be 15 this spring. He was 2 years old when I came into his life. I can remember him being a toddler so vividly, like it was yesterday. Pretty soon he'll be driving and off to university. Scary!!

How are things going with Alex? Glad you're having a date night...I desperately need one of those.

Mel, you'll have to post a pic of your cake. I love baking and cake decorating. I keep meaning to take a class.

No big plans for this weekend here either. I might try and paint our bathroom. We'll probably head to the pumpkin patch as well.

I was just think this morning how one year ago today I was getting knocked up by a nurse at the fertility clinic. I left the clinic in tears after they told me our sperm count. I thought there was no way in hell I was getting pregnant again...ever. And here I am a year later with handsome boy. Perhaps I should bake a cake to celebrate??

 

[msarkozi]

baking a cake sounds like a great way to celebrate

 

[LucyJ]

Happy Birthday Amanda hope you have a wonderful day

Benjamin slept untill 8:10am we couldnt believe it long may it continue

I baked a chocolate fudge cake this week and might do a carrot cake over the weekend. We are having a family day out going to place called escot they have a maze, birds of preys with displays you can watch, farm animals, a soft play area, walks you can do and red squirrels a long with lots of other wildlife. Really looking forward to taking benjamin think he'll love it. Not sure about sunday yet probably just a quiet one.

 

[Jaymes]

Didn't have a baby... I just got busy and finally directed the cleaning out of baby boy's room.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Morning girls, happy Monday!

Advice needed! Zac is waking 1 million per night well last night it was about 15, he's not hungry really just fussing?! Anyone else remember there lo going through that? He's been doing it for 2 weeks, he has had a cold so it could be that! I'm just in shock, pops never done anything like this! I want to chop my head off!x

 

[vickyd]

Sass we went through that and to a certain extent we still do. I spoke to doctors and midwives and in the end the answer was "some babies are just bad sleepers"... Hero slept fine as a newborn but after the 3 month sleep regression she never bounced back. This was always made worse when she was teething or ill. Co-sleeping was the only way she would sleep for long stretches which is why she was in our bed practically until she was 13 months old. So yeah co-sleeping is the only advice i have.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Im going to try that tonight although our bed is no way big enough for the 3 of us so Danny's getting kicked out!

Crap he has his jabs later too.x

 

[vickyd]

Yeah our bed isnt that big either, but somehow we managed to pull it off....Jabs might have a good effect? Sometimes Hero was so worn out by them that she would sleep like a log. Sleep deprivation really sucks, i really hope with Zac its just a passing phase. i wouldnt wish what we went (are going) through on anyone..

 

[LucyJ]

Sassy we went through it with Benjamin too teething made his sleep much worse and the night terrors he had would effect it as well. Like Vicky Benjamin would sleep with us if he woke in the night. I think with benjamin he needed the security of being with us hope its just a blip with Zac, we have now got into a good routine after being ill and he is going down better than he ever has before and sleeping longer.

I need some advice girls Ive been feeling a bit odd last couple of days dizzy, nauseous, body temperature all over the place, like Im coming down with a cold but nothing comes of it yesterday I had a little spotting and today I am cramping and spotting. AF is due this sun could it be it early or could something else be going on. We werent actively trying this month as I had a smear and hadnt been taken my folic when I was sick (started it again once I was able to keep food down & was eating regulary) so we decided to went untill next month but did have unprotected sex I thought I had already Ov we didnt have anything and thought what were the chances. If it is AF should I be worried its a week early. I hadnt thought about untill steve asked me last night if I was pregnant apparatenly Ive been overly emotional as well. I cant imagine I am but dont know what my body is doing bit unsure.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Only one way to find out hun!x

 

[vickyd]

I second what Sass said babe! You never know until youve tested!

 

[Sassy_TTC]

No point in worrying until you see those lines.xx
