**** June & July 2013 Mummies and Babies ****

[Kay Kay]

I always think if you have to start messing about with it it is most likely a bfn sorry hun. It's so frustrating I bet you can't think of anything else just now xxx

 

[queenriccy]

Tbh Kay Kay it wasn't planned, not that I would ever ever think of not having baby - Me and hubby have both said that if it does happen we would be over the moon. But, as awful as it sounds I'm liking being a 3 person family at the moment. I love seeing my son change and do something different every day , I love now how he can understand me and we can have fun together. Maybe we just need to be more careful from now on. Come on period hurry the fluff up plz xxx

 

[Kay Kay]

Ah I see, I thought you were wanting to ttc after your op. I'm the same, happy with being a family of 3 and loving the stage my lo is at right now. My hubby would like another one at some point so I agreed to have conversation with him about it next year but tbh I don't think I will change my mind.

I hope you get the outcome you're after xxx

 

[queenriccy]

Thanks hun, I still havnt come on this morning.
If I were to fall pregnant it would be a lovely surprise but im happy atm, back to work, have my body back, routine, getting sleep again, nights out with my girls etc !!

Im just hoping with my colscopy in November and my light bleed beg of December that I just ovulated late.

[queenriccy]

Still havnt done on ... What the hell is happening xx

 

[Kay Kay]

You could be stressing yourself and its caused you to be late. I think for absolute peace of mind you should bite the bullet and get a frer, they are pricey but it's worth it if itll put your mind at rest xx

 

[queenriccy]

I still havnt come on. I had a new cramps last night but quickly went away after 10 mins. Im popping to Asda this afternoon so I will pick one up, what is the sensitivity on them ?

Xx

Iv never been late apart from when I was pregnant !

Grrrrrrr

Xxx

 

[babyslog]

Mine are only now getting bk to nornal hun.
Few moths bk i had a 73day cycle!!!! And quite a few 40 ones too! Last 2 have been 33/34days. But before noah they were always 28/30 without fail.

Could be down to stressing about it.. I fmfound thinking about my AF just delayed it further xx

 

[queenriccy]

Iv come on this morning ... Thank god !!

I just hate the unknown. We had various convos over the wkend about weather we would be happy or shocked if I was pregnant. Hubby said that the more we talk about it the more he is thinking about how great it would be .. But he respects my decision that I know I am not 100% ready yet. I also know that both of us bringing it up means we are both undecided but Id rather wait until I know 100% Im ready. I am just enjoying spending time with my little dude right now
Thanks for all your support, Iv been like a flapping chicken the last week

It's understandable hun, but glad you are put out your misery and it's clarified the whole baby no 2 thing as well xx

Hope you all had a fab second Christmas with your babies! Yes I still refer to my lo as a baby! I might stop when he's 2 😉 We had a lovely one. He got lots of happyland stuff it's fab. Fave toy is probably his fisher price baby grand piano. It's kind of like an activity table and at first I thought might be a bit babyish for him but it's not, he loves it and sits and bangs away at the keys as if he's actually playing the piano 😝

We are getting at least one new word a day. Sleeping is still generally ok although he's got into a habit of waking about 5ish for his dummy which I wish he wouldn't do! Goes back down to half 6/7 but I generally can't get back to sleep so I'm awake from 5 most mornings 😒 Food wise he's still fussy but getting better. He's doing great with a spoon now, finally!

Problems we're having are not wanting to go in his high chair and also climbing out his chair when he's fed up. It can be quite stressful at times and I'm wondering if we should start using his booster travel seat thing we bought for holiday. I use it at friends houses for somewhere to sit at lunch and he's great in it. How are your lo's in their high chairs these days?

The other problem is head banging/butting. He's doing it a lot now, mainly when he's frustrated he can't do something eg build his stacking cups or whatever. He goes in to a rage and head butts the floor then screams for his dummy. I do think he does it specifically to get his dummy at times (I don't give him it). Anyway after initially saying don't do that! Etc I've now started to ignore it and I think ive noticed him doing it less. It looks so sore and I'm worried he will cause himself an injury. Any one else had this? Xxx

Hi Kay Kay!! Your Xmas sounds lovely!! We had a fab time and luckily everyone stuck the my strict instructions on what to buy which meant my house isn't over run with big nosey toys and she got lots of things I knew she would love! Her favourite things are her dolls, she pretend feeds/changes them all day long!

Rosie started properly walking around Xmas! She's always been a good talker so now she's walking and talking she's like a full blown toddler now! I would say she's nailed about 20+ words, and is attempting to repeat most words just don't come out quiet right!

No experience with head butting! But Rosie has started 'tickling' which is basically scratching my face to bits! It's hard to tell her off when I know she's trying to be nice!

High chair wise I HAVE to strap her in or she would attempt to climb out - and I make her ask to come out now before I let her down (up please). I am a bad mummy and let her have her tea in front of TV! Helps so much! Sometimes if she's having sandwiches/snacks I just let her have them on the floor. My sister has those boosters and swears by them!

I'm such a control freak I've never really let Rosie feed herself and to be honest she's fine with me spoon feeding! Makes tea time nice clean and quick but probably isn't helping her much, might have to get her a fork spoon set soon!!

Just had her weighed and she's 21lb on the nose - was hoping for more but I suppose a gains a gain and they don't really gain much now their running about now do they?? Xx

 

[Holi]

Queenriccy - me and oh are currently going through the 'should we/shouldn't we' for baby 2! Such a hard decision! Glad your AF came and you can relax a bit more now!!

Hi ladies. We have no issues with Josh climbing out his highchair - he doesn't climb anywhere at all. He'll happily sit there till he's had enough then it's grunting and arms in the air! He sometimes feeds himself with a spoon but it gets a bit messy and not a whole lot makes it to his mouth.

He's constantly on the go but makes no attempt to climb on anything - not that I'm complaining! He's not much of a talker - his main and favourite word is flower!!! Won't say simple words like cat and dog but will say flower - work that out!!

We were ttc no.2 last month but hubby has had a major wobble and decided he doesn't no if he wants anymore - he's said he can't imagine sharing his time and love with another child. I'm pretty gutted to be honest as I always said I wanted 2 quite close in age - we're not getting any younger either! He's now 'thinking' about it...

Hey all!
No issues luckly with climbing outta highchair. He sits nicely on the dining chair these days though. No head butts hut ong the tranturms are unreal! He acts like a teenage girl lol!

We had our 18m review this morning with the HV ( i know not all areas do them, but here in cardiff we have a 12 and an 18m one, next is aged 3)
Anyway shes really happy with how hes getting on. Reassured me at this age is prod to fussy eating. Just have to keep at it and has said the ' if he doesnt touch it withing half hr take him away' rule. Not let him go hungry but try again with the same meal 30mins later. Not to give something else as they lean very quickly that if they dnt eat what u want them to they know they get something else!
Hes was measured at 2ft 10" !! And weighs 2st 2lbs. My lil mini man! Lol

Hes just getting over a really nasty fluey type cold/cough atm. High temps the last few nights

Ah Becky, fx OH comes around soon to the idea of another!
We are going to start ttc May/June this year And aim or a 2.5/3yr gap xx

Hi Girls,

Oh yes we have the same with the highchair, Fine going in but when he wants out the whole street knows about it. We are ok with food atm, he has been refusing a few meals but I take it away and give him a cracker then try again 20 or so mins later - that usually works. We also do food infront of the TV - its the only way he will eat at home and it makes my life a little easier, i can get on with the washing up or tidying. He is fantastic with a fork and spoon - he even ate a cheeseburger with a fork on sunday (after i cut it up). He does only have 8 teeth, last one has just come through which caused an ear infection and a nasty cold.

Ollys been walking since July, started the week we got home from Turkey - God Send Now he toddles everywhere, sometimes gets board in his pushchair or trolly but im trying to teach him if he walks to hold my hand or the side of the trolly/pushchair and he does it now without me saying.

His speech is getting better each day, again can probably say about 20 words and he has even learnt his favourite foods and asks me for it (cheese, ham and cake lol) He also tells me when he is hungry, says 'din dins' and runs to his highchair.

Im just so proud of him, it was crazy to watch him this christmas open his prezzies (kitchen and little tykes car) and his little face was a picture I just sat and cried. He honestly didnt know what to do, at one point was sat in the car playing with the kitchen through the window.

We are no where near potty training yet. There is a potty in the living room but he hasnt a clue, sometimes sits on it and I praise him but he still doesnt tell me if he has poo'ed or wee'd. Once or twice the last week when he has poo'ed he has shouted 'ohh ohh' and ran to get him nappy mat so im hoping it continues and we can go from there. There is a lady at swimming lesson who said her son (1 week younger) was completely dry - then I caught her putting a nappy on him after class WTF ?? Im still finding people comparing and 'mine can do this and that' at playgroups. I like to ask because its lovely to see what I am expected to come next but to some people its like a competition.

Im still only working 2 days, and I still dont have any time to do anything. I always try and make sure my house is hoovered and we have a home made tea each night, but other than that the washing up and stuff can wait. Olly is with my mam while im at work so I like to take him out the rest of the week to socialise with other kiddies - Hubby keeps saying we should put him in nursery 1 day a week but I think it will be all the expense when I can take him to playgroups, swimming , park myself. If we were to use nursery then I wouldn't be able to afford to do all these with him - there are 3 nursery's in our area and the one 1 liked was going to cost £208 a month to put him in 1 day. Its a lot of money !!!

We dont have another check now until he is 3 - she said to ring her though if I think he is under developing or I have any issues. I havnt weighed him for about 3 month, I did it on the scales at weight watchers haha, he was 2st 8lb.
Although nobody has ever brought up his weight with me, he is getting taller and his face has thinned out a lot.
He didnt eat for 2 days last week while he was poorly and I was panicking but my mam said when we were poorly we sometimes when 4-5 days with only fluid.

I cant believe what a gorgeous, smart, cheeky boy I have and I am so scared to bring another child into his life at the moment. He goes through his clingy stages where he doesn't want dad but he quickly snaps out of it. For example last night I went out the door to the gym and he is stood at the door in just a nappy waving and shouting 'bye bye my mammy' and then as Phil shut the door I heard 'bath now dad' hahaha

Big bump on this thread!! How is everyone?! What a good age our lo are at - a big handful mind but lots of fun!

I've just moved back over to Ttc (eeeeeeeek!) but don't feel like I'll spend as much time there this time round!

I got married on 28th feb! Had such a good day, can't believe after all this planning it's all over! But I'm excited about our next baby making step!!
