Okay. I'm back fully from my trip, DH is back to work, so I am going to be here for the day I've decided. Although Emma is teething again so a bit grumpier than usual today.

so:
Have you started/finished xmas shopping? I'm done shopping now. We are doing Christmas super early this year because DH leaves and will miss it so our Christmas will happen probably next weekend. Emma got an aquadoodle, a Barbie magnadoodle, Barbie dress up shoes, a Barbie laptop, bath crayons, a pop-up playhut with ball pit balls, an elmo cell phone toy, a leapfrog magnet toy with the alphabet, a leapfrog magnet toy with animals, and a leapfrog cell phone, and a pink cozy coupe car. That's it I think. Most of these things are super small and will easily fit in her little toy box.
who in here is pregnant or TTC? We are TTC but are basically done trying until he gets back from deployment now. So I'll be trying again in June.
is baby cruising or walking? Walking, running, even walks backwards and tries to get us to laugh. She rarely falls anymore unless we are at a playground with sand or something like that.
what is babies fav toy? Her kitchen but an empty box keeps her just as entertained.
size clothes? Still fits 9 months but slowly packing them away so she can get last minute use out of the summery 12 month outfits.
size nappies? one size fits all cloth. Size 3 for sposies though.
colour of your xmas tree decs? I do a gold tree every year. I'm thinking next year I may go for more color though.
does baby have own room or in parents room? She has her own room but getting her to sleep in it is the real trick.

[cleckner04]

It seems gold is a popular christmas theme. I would love to get a white tree and get bright colorful decorations. I think they are so pretty. But we have just a standard green tree for now. Maybe one of these times I'll talk DH into letting me get a smaller white one.

 

[Andie]

That tree is pretty Cleck VERY Girlie!! - goodluck with getting ur other half to like it tho

 

[Shiv]

We usually get a real tree but are worried about Sophia eating it so we will get a fake one this year - green though, I am not so keen on white ones personally, i like it to look as real as possible!

 

[cleckner04]

I like green too which is why ours is green but something about that bright white tree with the neon colors on it. DH HATES it though. Of course.

I don't like the idea of real trees just because I feel bad about killing a tree just for the sake of one holiday. Our fake tree looks really real so that's good enough for me. Although I'd love the smell of a real tree I'm sure.

 

[HeidiLSparks]

Ross bought our white tree, I seriously wanted a green on, but he tried to do something nice when we had Caylee, so I was not going to complain haha.

I always had a real tree growing up, LOVED the smell of pine, ahhh I still do. But with living in an apartment, thats a total no go. I live on the 3rd floor and I am not hauling a tree up here haha

 

[spidey]

My turn!

Have you started/finished xmas shopping?
I just ordered Kira's play kitchen yesterday, but all the other gifts aren't bought yet although I know what I want to get!

who in here is pregnant or TTC?
We haven't been protecting since Kira turned 1 and this month I actually know when I'm going to ovulate since I have a ticker to look at on the TTC board, LOL.

is baby cruising or walking?
crawling and cruising a little!

what is babies fav toy?
right now its my camera import wire She also loves my wallet and pulling all my cards out of their slots.

size clothes?
18-24 month (or 2T) tops (she has a very long torso and a Buddha belly!) and 12-18 month bottoms although I buy her 18-24 month bottoms and roll them up. 2T pajamas to accommodate her long torso!

size nappies?
size 4

colour of your xmas tree decs?
I have a 4 foot green tree and a few ornaments- I had no idea people actually bought those non-green trees, LOL.

does baby have own room or in parents room?
She has a room, but she sleeps with me at night.

 

[cleckner04]

LOL! I guess I didn't realize so many people didn't like those white trees. I really like them!!! We were at walmart today and I told DH he needs to buy me a small one.

So at walmart there was pajamas with footies. I bought 2! So it's a giant onesie footsie pajama like what Emma would wear. hahahaha. I am a giant blob in it but it's so funny I couldn't pass it up.

[Aunty E]

Congratulations on the BFP!!!!

Have you started/finished xmas shopping?

Haven't started yet, although I'm thinking about it...

who in here is pregnant or TTC?

23 weeks and counting. ARGH.

is baby cruising or walking?

Walking - only just, but pretty good at it now

what is babies fav toy?

Mr Dinosaur for bedtime and her Playskool ball popper for daytime

size clothes?

A real mix of 3-6 all the way up to 12-18 depending on brand, but mostly 9-12.

size nappies?

Sz4 in sposies, medium in most wraps for terries.

colour of your xmas tree decs?

Haven't put any up since we got our first cat years ago - tempted not to put a tree up inside, but might have one in a tub on the patio with some lights as we have outdoor power sockets

does baby have own room or in parents room?

Mog has a nursery, and will have a big girl bedroom in the next few months as we'll need to move newbaby's clothes into the nursery. We don't plan on moving her out of the cot for a good few months, but we'll need two changing stations as we can only JUST fit all of her clothes into the chest of drawers and wardrobe in the nursery. Mummy and Mog are going to share a big triple wardrobe in her room.

This second pregnancy is distinctly less fun than the first. I don't want to be whiny, but BH contractions waking me up in the morning was not something I was prepared for, I didn't even have them last time, and this time they really really hurt. The heartburn and generally digestive discomfort is miserable, and the palpitations are a million times worse with this pregnancy. I had a 24 hour trace last week, and I'm actually quite worried there's something wrong, as most evenings now I get a nasty period of palpitations and breathlessness. My BP is fine, good even, but I don't like the downward trend of my health. I'm very glad I'm not proposing to be pregnant again (all being well this time), I dread to think what might happen.

 

[Kimberly28]

Catch up quiz! What a great idea!!


Have you started/finished xmas shopping?

Haven't been able to start yet, finances are so damn tight right now. *sigh* Hopefully soon though!

who in here is pregnant or TTC?

We are ttc and currently in the 2ww. Less than 2 weeks left to it actually. F'x!!

is baby cruising or walking?

walking and even starting to "run". He gets into everything! hehe.

what is babies fav toy?

His big clear glitter ball with blue glitter in it. (it's about 4-5" in diameter and very thick/sturdy) He plays with it DAILY! That and bed time bear. It's a panda bear that has LED lights inside of it that changes colors through a rotation. He loves it!

size clothes?

12 month size mostly.

size nappies?

here in the USA they go by number sizes. Bry wears size 5 Pampers.

colour of your xmas tree decs?

Aqua, cobalt, white, clear, and silver on a white tree with white and blue lights! Very elegant. Will be using shatterproof ornaments this year so I won't have to worry about Bry and glass. They look like glass balls though. Very pretty. Maybe next year I will do a silver and gold theme with my white tree. That would be pretty too I think. Then one year if I wanna get funky with it, I can get the neon/bright colors lights and decs for it and have it really pop! Haha. I always grew up with a nice big fat real tree and I do LOVE the smell of them but last year I got my white one for a change just to do something different and I really liked it. I'm sure at one point I'll have a real one again or buy a fake green and one of those tree scented candles haha. It doesn't have to be the same thing year in and year out.

does baby have own room or in parents room?

his own room and he's been in it for a long time now (as in sleeping in it at night, instead of with us).


Cleck, I'm so glad you had a great trip! Hopefully when Corey gets back it won't take any time at all for you to get preggers.

Nutty, that is a neat idea. I look forward to seeing pics of this year's tree.

 

[Andie]

LOL! I guess I didn't realize so many people didn't like those white trees. I really like them!!! We were at walmart today and I told DH he needs to buy me a small one.

So at walmart there was pajamas with footies. I bought 2! So it's a giant onesie footsie pajama like what Emma would wear. hahahaha. I am a giant blob in it but it's so funny I couldn't pass it up.

Ive saw those too ....i so want them!! lol i also will look like a giant blob but they look so cosy and comfy!! and the weather has started to get quite nippy here lately so i think they be ideal.

 

[cleckner04]

nutty- black is cute too!! We have a smaller black tree that I just bought for next year's halloween. I plan on putting spiderwebs and orange ornaments on it.


I don't advise getting the onesie pajamas if you are tall. I bought an XL and I am a bit too tall for it so it goes up my bum. I'm hoping over time they will stretch. I hate being slightly tall. I'm only 5'8" but sometimes my legs are far too long for things.

 

[HeidiLSparks]

Ah right up the bum That would suck having a perma wedgie

So now Caylee is crawling out of her crib She crawls out and walks out into the living room and when her door is shut she will just bang on it, I actually watched her crawl out and I couldn't believe it, shes like a friggin monkey! Its so hard for me to just put her in a toddler bed, she does not stay in it, and to me its like...shes officially a toddler now I just can't accept that haha

 

[angelstardust]

Have you started/finished xmas shopping?

Almost finished! Just the boys to get and a few bits for other folk.

who in here is pregnant or TTC?

Not me, DH got the snippity snip!

is baby cruising or walking?

Walking now! She was cruising before her hospital stay but thankfully she is properly walking now. Thankfully because I was expecting her to regress somewhat.

what is babies fav toy?

A baby doll that cries or pen and paper.

size clothes?

18-24months!

size nappies?

Huggies size 5

colour of your xmas tree decs?

Multicoloured. Green tree but trying to talk DH into a new one.

does baby have own room or in parents room?

Moved into the boys room at 7 months when she outgrew the crib. But our loft is finally finished. Boys are moving into our old room which is big and Amber will stay in the now smaller room. We have the paint! Just need to bin junk.

 

[spidey]

OMG Cleck! I was just telling DH the other day that I wished they made pj's like what Kira wears for adults! He asked how I would get in and out to pee and if I would have to have an access panel, LOL. So how do you pee in them? Do you have to take one leg out? I got disappointed when I read your post about the wedgie thing. I'm taller too so I bet I would get a wedgie. Oh well... I might have to check them out at walmart and see.
