~*Team 2012 Baby*~ ladies arriving from our TTC #1 Team 2012 find your friends here!

[Wilsey]

Feel your pain Jo, went to one recently with both kids and I hated every second of it. Luckily, I'd arranged for my parents to sit for the evening portion and had a much better time once I'd dropped them off. Awful as it sounds, it's just really hard to keep them composed and happy for a wedding.

 

[Wilsey]

So are all the kids talking heaps?

 

[josephine3]

Well georgia did really well at the wedding altho we are both worn out we got thru it without any tantrums or going into labour lol.

Yeah georgia is a right little chatterbox says whole sentances now. Can count to ten, knows all her colours and some shapes, knows loads of animlals and has just gotten into the 'want it' phase. Tho she will say 'yes please' and 'thank u' most of the time too. Shes very bossy and demanding tho! She will tell me what she wants and what she doesnt!

 

[jmandrews]

Wow she is very smart!!! That is impressive

Everlee says short sentences. She is saying "mine" a lot. In a mean way too. Not sure where she learned it. She does use manors and like your dd she is very demanding.

She is starting to enter the terrible 2s and 3s. She's been throwing tantrums and hitting a lot lately. I'm trying to understand what is so frustrating to her so I know how to discipline her or calm her down. This age is so much fun though. I love it so much!
She is now in a big girl bed she's been doing great. I'm so glad it was such an easy transition.

 

[Wilsey]

Don't worry jm, you're not alone! Lots of hitting over here. Less tantrums though, think he's growing out of those. I'll let you know if I find something that works with the hitting, I'm trialling a new approach. I'm home with him tomorrow so it'll be interesting to see how much he does it.

William is going through that language explosion but only has a few four word sentences, otherwise it's lots of two words like 'more milk' or 'no kiss' etc. I think with his new language skills he's not having as many tantrums, they were mainly born from frustration because we didn't know what he wanted.

But they're just testing boundaries and being cheeky little monkeys

 

[josephine3]

Wish i cud see ur pic jm! How old is everlee now? Georgia still has the sides on her cotbed im so paranoid to take them off cos she sleeps soooo well in there! How do u stop them from climbing out and playing in their room?

Georgia just talks and talks i wish she'd stop sometimes haha. She must have over 100 words now!

 

[josephine3]

Oh just to add another proud mommy moment she can also recognise letters m, d, and g for mommy, daddy and georgia!

 

[Wilsey]

In labour yet, Jo?

 

[jmandrews]

Aw Jo wish you could too. It is just a pic of her sleeping in her bed. I have rails up on her bed to keep her from rolling off. She has gotten up out of her bed a couple of times. Luckily she can't open the door yet. I can see her through the video monitor and I can tell her to get back into bed. She is very good about listening to me when it comes to bed time.
Wilsey yes please let me know. I agree I think it is out of frustration because she doesn't know how to express what she wants and needs. Also she isn't eating much. She is very very picky. Are you ladies experiencing that? She won't eat anything green. She loves most fruits though. Pretty much if it isn't healthy she will eat it haha

Jo hope you are feeling ok can't wait for the newest addition

 

[jmandrews]

Oh and Everlee is 22 months as of May 20th.

 

[josephine3]

Oh much the same age as georgia then she'll be 22 months in june!
Nope not in labour yet
georgia woke me at 5.20am today crying saying 'i want mummy' and has been super clingy the past few days. She never wakes so early and normally just chats to herself, no crying. Im hoping its a sign of something about to happen!

 

[Wilsey]

OMG yes, jm! He's SO picky at the moment. We make him such nice healthy meals and he turns his nose up at them and ends up eating toast or something. He's a sturdy fella but I'm hoping he's getting all the nutrients he needs at the mo

 

[wantanerd]

My son is going through the food stuff too! He used to eat ANYTHING we put in front of him but now he might eat it one day and then refuse a few days later. I am hoping this is just a phase and not nature getting back at me for being super picky my entire life =P

 

[jmandrews]

No maybe that is a sign! I hope so anyway. Sweet to get extra snuggles in while you can.

Wilsey and wantanerd- glad I'm not alone. I'm sure it is just a phase they are going through. So frustrating when you cook a nice meal and they want nothing to do with it. I hope they grow out of this soon.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Freya is exactly the same with food! Some days she will completely refuse to even try what I have made her, it's so frustrating! If I gave her beans in toast or a cheese sandwich she'd gobble it down but if I give her something new she's very wary!

 

[armywife11]

Ugh the picky eater stage is killing me! I can give her chicken 100 different ways but unless its a chicken patty she won't touch it. it wear me out.

 

[josephine3]

Wow im glad georgia isnt too picky! She will eat any veg and isnt afraid to try new things. Peppers and carrots are her faves. Only thing she is funny about is mixing foods together - sill only have one item on the fork at once and is wary of 'one pot' sort of meals like casseroles or stews.

The oh finally put sone extra air in my birthing ball like iv been asking him to do for ages, sat and nounced on it it was mega comfy until i got up and nearly collapsed from the pressure and pain in my lady parts! Arrhhh!

 

[armywife11]

Ugh Jo I feel for you! Ben is sitting really low and I have pressure and lighting crotch all of which I did have with her until 35ish weeks. When he punches he hits my bladder hard and almost makes me pee my pants every time!

Took my 3 hour test today no phone call so hopefully thats a good sign.

 

[josephine3]

Oh i hate that whatever body part pokes my bladder i nearly pee too haha. Im so ready to get this baby out want to start trying eviction tactics soon! Only things iv done today is eat a pineapple and done lots of housework. Just had a cup of rlt before bed too. Come out lil boy!

 

[armywife11]

Nothing I tried kick started my labor with Laila, it was gutting. I would have crazy contractions and I would walk and do all sorts of stuff and that only made them stop it seemed like.
