Hey ladies - sorry its been so long! I have been reading all your updates on my daily email but struggling to find time to reply.
Amber - great news on your scan. I love her name and can't wait to see her pictures - feet and all!
Imp -congratulations - you are onto number two as well
. Hope your reflux settles down - I was forced to drink lots of glasses of milk towards the end of my pregnancy with Callum it really helped settle my heartburn and I was happier drinking milk than taking drugs!

Hello to everyone I missed I hope you, your babies and your bumps are all well xxx
As for us - Callum is getting big and troublesome! He is so independent and a complete boy! Always climbing things running around (and falling over!) never sits still for a minute - to the point that if he sits still I just assume he must be ill! Sleep is still not his strong point - regularly now taking an hour or more to get to sleep at night and usually half an hour to get to sleep at nap time. Its so frustrating because he is tired, rubbing his eyes and yawning when I put him in his cot and he has blackout blinds so his room is dark but as soon as he is in his cot he starts talking and laughing and rolling around and just won't drop off to sleep! Drives me mental because I dont know what more I can do to help him sleep and he often wakes early too and then he is just constantly tired and miserable
I have tired so many things but nothing seems to help and I keep hoping its a phase but after 3+months I suspect its just him!
Once asleep he usually sleeps ok unless he is ill when he is awful - often awake for 3-4 hours in the middle of the night
We have also been getting the toddler tantrums - has anyone else been experiencing these yet? If I take something off him or won't let him do something (ie climb onto the windowsill like he was trying to last night) he just turns on the screaming and the tears and has now taken to throwing himself on the floor too! I actually find it funny although I am sure I shouldn't and usually try to explain why I have stopped him then distract him with something else. I pray that eventually all the being told no will sink in and he will stop trying to be so mischievous! I suspect he is a bit frustrated as he is not talking at all yet - no proper words that I understand and also he is often so sleep deprived which makes us both very grumpy! God save us when the terrible twos start!
Sorry thats a very grumpy post - really he is great, a delight and a complete and utter joy, especially since he now gives lots of kisses and cuddles! I will try to post a recent photo from my phone too.
Love to everyone x
