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

Lovley names i think they go well together too. Not met a Zara before tho layla seems to be popular at the moment. Like them both tho! The only thing i wud say is along with rosa u have a lot of names ending in a!
 
Yeah rosabelle!!! That is great news!! Hope things continue to improve! I love the name choices!
 
Well since my daughter is named Laila.. I am bias! lol Zara is unique and I like unique!

Yea Jo, it seems Layla is becoming popular again. I never heard that name until more recently.
 
We have started practicing elimination communication with lo (going on day 5 now). It's going really well and she uses her potty several times during the day (just started night time last night, went great!). I haven't changed a poopy diaper since we started. Anyone else attempting this or am I the only one? lol
 
Thanks girls :)

I did think about the whole ending with the "a" sound but i figure we love the names so thats the main thing, and Rosa does get Rose more then anything else..

Nope we havent started Armywife, sounds like you are doing well!
Probably a stupid question but how do you go about 'elimination communication' ??

Basically you watch for cues that let you know when they need to use the bathroom then get them to the potty ASAP. Its a no pressure no punishment process. If she goes she goes if she doesn't then no big deal. Just helping her learn and helping her go in the right places.

She gives clear signs when she needs to poo but its been hit and miss when it comes to pee. We started night time EC last night which worked well.

I am not being insane about it. I miss pees during the day sometimes and I am still using diapers with her.
 
Sounds good Armywife, i definetly recognise when Rose needs to do a poo but think pee would be harder too..
 
I think we're just going to be slack and wait until he's closer to 2!

Rosa - love the names, they're gorgeous together!

We think we've settled on Emily Grace. Grace is a family name on DH side. I'm not such a fan because it seems to be used as a middle name for every second kid on BnB but that's ok. The middle name I've always wanted to use was May but Emily May doesn't sound as good as Emily Grace.
 
I found I catch night time pees far easier than day time. In fact we practiced it at night the last two and she goes through no diaper at night.

Wilsey theres nothing wrong with that. This process is time consuming when you have a child who can't tell you whats going on. I am trying to teach her the potty sign in hopes maybe she will start using it. She just was showing a lot of the signs that she was ready and understood what was going on so I felt obligated to help her out. She was waking from naps and bed dry and telling us as soon as she was wet or dirty because she hated the feeling.
 
Wills doesn't seem to care that he's got a dirty nappy, he just keeps on keeping on. But I know when he's going poop because he makes a very distinctive 'ehhh ehhh' noise, like he's pushing it out haha. I think boys are probably slower on the potty training front anyway.
 
Hey ladies, thought I'd show you a bump shot :)

Here I am at 32 weeks(ish):

Aw what a cute lil bump Wilsey! I actually really like Emily May i think it sounds lovely!
As for the potty training we do have one which she 'plays' at sitting on sometimes while i have a wee lol. Normally fully clothed tho lol. Im amazed u can go overnight with no nappy thats fab. Does she wake in the night anyway so u can sit her on the potty?
I kno exaclty when Geoorgia is doing a poo she grunts a lot lol but have never tried to grab her mid-poo and get her on the potty! I wudnt want to disturb her once shes started lol

Up until we started this she would wake a little cry (we now know she would pee) then put herself back to sleep. Probably about two or three times, but she has slept through the night and woken dry several times before this. Now when she cries I go and get her she pees then goes back to sleep. She caught a cold a couple days ago (the day we started night training) and nurses a lot at night right now so shes waking four times right now but its expected. I put the potty in our bathroom on the sink and have a dim nightlight in there so she can see where are and shes at my level so she sees me. She doesn't fully wake up that way.

Wilsey cute bump!!! Both names sound great to me. May is common middle name from where I am from so I have heard that a bunch. I think Emily May is adorable.
 
I love both names! But do like Grace more, i liked grace for a first name but hubby didnt..
and cute bump! so compact!
i am just a big walking blob lol
 
So Cute Wilsey! Starting the diet (again) today. Need to get in shape to try for #2. I am REALLY hoping no fertility treatment but we will see. I doubt anything will happen in the coming months. Stressful time waiting to hear whats next, whether we will be in the military or not come December. Its been a hell of a year stressing out about that. Will be relieved once we know so we can finally plan what we need to do. So I might as well lose some weight instead of gaining it while waiting. =)

And in happier news.... Doyle started walking last week! He's been cruising between the furniture for months and standing up in the middle of the floor for a month or so but last week he finally became brave enough to walk across the room! So thrilled!
 
Thanks ladies, defo smaller than I was with Wills.

Wantanerd - so exciting that Doyle is walking. It's amazing to watch isn't it?

Rosa - I'm sure you're not a blob but you would be forgiven...you do have two in there ;)

Ugh I feel for you with the military stuff. We still have some time left but we have already started talking about getting out or staying in. Thats exciting on the walking front. Laila is cruising and standing but still not walking without help. I thought she would be before her birthday but not sure she will. :baby:
