Erika... mckenna gave bryce a goldfish.. put it in his mouth.. I went to fix my makeup some and he was crying.. then got quieter so i asked her what she was doing and she said just feeding him.. so i came in and there it was.. he was gumming on it thankfully and didnt choke on it.. mckenna is almost 3 so still have to watch her like a hawk at times..

I have this dream of taking Thomas (and now Samuel, too) to Disney World. I'm sort of obsessed with making it happen, since I never got to go as a kid and I feel like I was cheated out of it. My grandpa lived in Fl and all my cousins got to go down with their parents and visit him and go to Disney. And I never got to. My dad talked about it one time, like really seriously, and then Idk what happened and we didn't get to.

So, yeah. I am determined to save up our money one year and go.

 

[lilrojo]

Us too Jen.. I always have wanted to take my kids when they are older.. its not even that much to go.. Hope we all make it there, I also want to go to vegas

What about the rest of you ladies.. anywhere you want to visit..

 

[sspencer99]

San fran cisco just because of the gooden gate bridge and the film homeward bound lol
Xxx

 

[QueenVic]

We'll be in Florida in November for my brothers wedding

Vegas is fantastic, a different world... I liked New York aswell

Haven't been around much, H keeping me on my toes and been out & about a lot visiting friends & socialising so glad things seem to get easier, those first 6-8 weeks were tough

BROODY - how is that possible, they're still babies
Maybe it's wanting to be pregnant more? I miss the excitment of peeing on sticks

Ohh raych poor Ruby I used to always have cats but Steve is more a dog person which I am NOT therefore we have neither, hehe

Ysa looking fab how u feeling? tired?

Stace, I feel for u, the trapped nerves etc are HORRENDOUS rmb I was in agony & tears all the time at the end, just awful
Hope u don't have to wait too much longer

Sarah glad the hips got the all clear - how are u finding things now? I loved the long easter hols it makes such a difference having Steve around as he works long hours usually
He's at work til 2 today so we're going to meet him at the studio he's taking me for a session urgh did a couple last week, one nearly killed me was sore for days, did miss that feeling lol
Then round to friends for the Grand National..

Tomorrow we have a photoshoot for H at home, so excited.. hope he plays ball, she stays up to 4hrs to get the shots as want some awake & some asleep, also hope we can get a nice one of the 3 of us

Everyone else seems to be doing well

Darragh is a bit poorly....he is full of snot although his nose isn't running i can hear it when he breaths especially when feeding, when he brings up his wind there is some green mucus in his milk and this morning he vomited for the first time ever....i heard him retch luckily he was sat upright on my lap then threw up all his milk and some mucus...i think he probably swallowed a lot of it over night....bless him...he was a bit upset but settled quickly but was totally soaked through his muslin, sleepsuit and vest!! he has done the odd cough but other then that he is ok.....might explain why he is a bit more needy of a night time though needing me to shush him to sleep and keep my hand on his chest or head till he drops off....

Vic - things are a lot easier now especially as he is sleeping more but still no joy with taking expressed milk in a bottle so no going back to hockey for me or leaving him for more then a hour or so at the moment. Started taking him swimming and starting baby massage next week so beginning to feel like what i thought my maternity leave was gonna be like.....doing nice things with him and meeting new people (as well as all the hard stuff) ya know!

We were in florida last june so unlikely will be going back untill darragh is much older...in fact other then heading to ireland to see my family i can't see us going abroad again for a few years....

I grew up going to Disney every other weekend as a kid. Of course then I only lived about 30-45 minutes outside of Orlando. But Definitely something I want to share with my kids.

 

[QueenVic]

I went to Disney when I was 14 was great but I'd be too scared to go on anything now eekkkkkk

Oh wow we start baby massage next week too! On Wednesday, so nervous about going on my own tho dreading if he's grumpy that day lol

 

[Sun_Flower]

I went to Disney Florida when I was 9, it was awesome. Vic - Eden and I did a baby massage course, it was lovely when she was in to it, but most weeks we only got through half the session before she'd had enough so we just sat and watched. It's worth going just to learn the strokes - they make a big thing about how babies will enjoy being massaged at a time of day that's different for all of them, so they don't expect the babies to ALL want to be massaged at the time of the class. Eden loves having her feet, legs, tummy, chest and back massaged, but she doesn't like having her arms or face done. Well, when she has her face done she tries to eat my hands, so its more that it's just not effective, lol!

 

[sept10]

Vic - know what you mean bout the grumpyness but then all babies get grumpy sometimes and i'm sure they are well used to it. our class is wednesday as well...snap x

 

[DrGomps]

Hey Ladies, a meet up would be awesome. I grew up in california (for the most part) So disneyland was what I grew up with and knew...Josie will probably go there before disneyworld...but I would love to go to florida and see the sites and hit disneyworld. We should do a US BnB meet up there... New york is pretty cool too!! Stacey...San Francisco isn't that great, new york is WAY better. San Francisco is pretty dirty and full of hippy washouts and much more dangerous then nyc and is filled with homeless people. My brother loves it though.

Anywho...Logan, I think its awesome that you want to continue with your education. YOu crazy lady already buying maternity clothes and pregnancy tests.

Erika...you may be pregnant before any of us!! Whatcha doing in vegas??? Going to be hot...eeks.

Jen, glad to know that 2 is manageable...cuz I am totally broody for more.

Sarah, glad Darraghs hips are okay!! Sorry to hear he was a bit poorly...Josie had quite a bit of reflux in the beginning and had a few occasions of some vomit and mucus. No fun!!

Vicki, yay for some activities.

Rach, sorry to hear about ruby...poor thing.

Ysa....can't believe your boys are almost half baked...definitely stay hydrated and take it easy...no BH for you!!

Tracey, glad the nuchal went well!!!

Stacey, hun!! So close!! !I am sorry you are so uncomfortable...the end is in sight!! Hopefully Ava is on time or early!! Prepare for the long haul is a good way of looking at it and just be surprised if she comes early.

AFM...I start work in a couple weeks. Trying to get myself ready and enjoy these last moments with Josie...my SIL is coming in a few days to help take care of Josie for the first month then she is leaving and my sister is coming for 2 months. ALso, my cousin just had a baby girl...yay for a little friend for Josie. Other then that...getting over a cold...Josie had her first friends birthday party on Sat.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hmmmm... who's going to be the first to get prego again?
Andrea? Erika? Logan?
Anyone else super-broody?
I'm pretty broody most of the time but we're waiting a year at least to start again. Plus today going to church with both boys on my own, it reminded me of how hard it is with a baby and all the stuff and not enough hands... If I only had three hands...

 

[Sun_Flower]

We're definitely trying for a second baby next summer when Eden's about 18 months old, want to enjoy her first, plus get her to a point where she can at least take herself to the bathroom by the time the new baby comes along, lol! xx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Awww then they'd be 27 months or more apart. I think 2 years is a nice gap.

 

[lilrojo]

haha i say erika will b first... then me or andrea shortly after....

I but things cuz the r good deals my maternity is kohls on clearance with a promo code of 20 percent off...only 1 preg test.. lol and the rest cbfm is just to monitor my cycles...


and my dd just got potty trained... thing work out

whats wrong with 18 months lol or more we will c

dtd last night hurt but wasnt too terrible

 

[DrGomps]

we won't be trying until closer to my graduation, which will hopefully be around when Josie is 2 or so...Though..the idea of trying in a year and half still doesn't seem like that much time...IYKWIM???

Josie is pretty much sitting on her own...if I leave her sitting for 10 minutes, when I come back she is still sitting!!! I think its time to pack away her baby gym...not sure if its worth saving for the next baby (It was a hand me down from a friend). She also is rolling a lot..and is so wiggly and mobile....it goes by too fast

I return to work in 2 weeks....I am past denial...grief, now on to acceptance. enjoying as much time with my baby girl as I can!!

 

[truthbtold]

Hi Ladies,

Andrea I promise it gets better after the first week! Who will be keeping Josie while you work?

Week one was horrible I thought about Jeremiah all day. It really doesnt matter how many kids you have its always hard to leave your baby. Week two is better I can get more work done but I still miss him. lol I feel bad that I dont miss my terrible 3 year old.

We are ttc starting in Sept so I may very well be first lol.

 

[Traskey]

Wow just did a massive catch up.

I'm up for a meet in London or Florida or both Although Florida will take some considerable saving

Ysa, hope the urine test went ok and that you are getting lots of rest.

Stacey, hang in there girly, not long to go now. I hope she comes sooner rather than later for you.

Andrea, i'm sorry going back to work is so upsetting, i'm sure i'll be there too when my time comes.

Logan, love the new pic of Bryce on FB.

Sarah, I don't know why I thought Ireland too

Rachel, nope Suffolk is not far from me at all Wohoo for getting to 1000 pages

Jen, glad that things are going well with Samuel

Vic, lovely to see you

AFM, just got back from a lovely weekend in the Isle of Wight. No 3G though! Makes and iPhone useless

 

[lilrojo]

Erika def think ur first then, were not trying till the end of nov-dec... and trying trying when he is 1

mostly ntnp nov-feb and ttc after his first bday i think..

 

[truthbtold]

Well let me clarify we will be ntnp until it happens lol but on my fertile days I will be a little more cautious about things that sway boy since Im really hoping for a girl. It scares me to think that this will be our last child and my last chance at having a little girl.
